I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement, therefore I have no option but to archive the listing.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include **GC Number and Cache Name**) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when a seeker reports a problem with the cache.

Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, have a read here: [Cache Maintenance Guidelines.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) The guidelines advise; **if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can.** This Help Centre article tells you how it can be done; [Temporarily Disable and Enable.]( http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 )

**Please respond to this situation within 28 days - so as to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.** Sad

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned and archived without further notice.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Just dropped sister in law off at airport and got totally lost around Essendon airport. Finally got on to Bell Street and this was the first along the way. Beautiful cemetery and lots of work going on, even on a Sunday. Coords took me straight to GZ and as I sat back to nearby workers I bent down and there it was. Nice hide and unique pen for a mint tin. TFTC daunts & Melbermans.

14-Nov-15
Managed a quick pick up on way home from a training day nearby. On return to my car was approached by one of the Friends of the cemetery. Asked if I had a map, which I fortunately picked up. Then had a bit of a chat about this place and a few other Melbourne burial spots, armed with info I'd discovered at other geocaches. Made me look far more interested than simply being a geocacher, and I got thanked for visiting and the chat. I did venture to a couple of spots she suggested. Interesting and sad stories. TFTC

Today I was able to combine my two hobbies: geocaching and genealogy, at this cache. After walking around the cemetery photographing family graves (actually they were all plots without headstones) I stopped to pick up this cache. Surprisingly I found a TB attached to the cache.
Thanks daunts for this cache. I have collected a few clues for this series now.

Thanks for the cache daunts
 
16-Aug-15
Up from Geelong to convert some caches into smileys with alchey, DAB, The_Tritonz & Na'wal before heading to the CITO.
It's much more fun to cache in a group as most cachers know, so a lot of fun was had and jokes all round made a great day.
Thanks daunts for the cache
TFTC & smiley face Smile

[red]Find #2714 Traditional #2164 [/red] Big Grin

With a day to ourselves with nothing to do other than cache we hit the road. theTritonz, DAB, alchey, Darth Briji and I left Geelong very early in the morning with the final mission to attend and help with the tree planting CITO that was at Edgar's Creek. After making our way through Melbourne we finally arrived close by to the event. There was a fair bit of building work going on so I had to park and walk in. We thought we were on the right side of the creek to start with then realised that we needed to cross. We hopped over the river via rocks before spotting a bridge haha, that always happens. After working at the CITO event, we took ourselves off to find this one. A quick stop and a quick find. Signed and replaced as found.

[blue]Thanks for this trad cache hide, daunts. [^]
Log and container in good condition. Smile
Took Nothing, Left Nothing [/blue]

Today had us on a caching trip to the big smoke, up from Geelong. A mighty handsome team, consisting of alchey, Darth Briji, Na'Wal, The_Tritonz and myself, made the trip. We had a CITO booked in for the afternoon, so we tried to fit in as many caches as we could. With a very early start, we had a fairly successful day. Thanks for a stress free find, a good chance to have a rest here ( not permanent ) as well. TFTC daunts Big Grin

30-Mar-15
TFTC stopped in and did this one quickly on the way home from the shop.
 
14-Mar-15
We found this cache today at 12:20pm as number 3 of 9 on our Pi Day Out. Why oh why did this take so long to find? It was a standard sized micro (not even a nano) that was hidden in a very standard way that we managed to overlook on at least 3 passes before spotting it. Thanks from D, HA, H & A B-A.
 
08-Mar-15
Quick stop on the way to the shops. Thanks.
 
18-Feb-15
Have visited this cemetery every week for the last few months, due to work reasons. Finally decided to check out the cache. Fairly easy find, and a great stop along the bus route to examine the local history. TFTC
 
15-Feb-15
Looked everywhere but we couldn't see it. This is our first geocache hunt so maybe it's just because we're new at this.
 
26-Jan-15
Found with Strawberry Betsy and The Ranger.
No pencil, and we weren't carrying one as it was just a quick stop so we couldn't sign the log
 
20-Jan-15
Found it, but forgot to bring a pen. I'll have to go back!
 
19-Jan-15
Looking for clues to a multi and thought I'd pick this up on the way through. TFTC

16-Nov-14
This was our first geocache experience. We enjoyed the location and had fun looking for the cache. By the way the note book is filled.Thank you!Melsof
 
15-Nov-14
This one took us (lochb, G' of GJMMelb ad I) much longer than it should have, GZ was crystal clear but somehow we missed seeing the cache until lochb finally spotted the cache that was in "plain sight"... In our defence I think this is a "micro" not a "small" cache so we were looking for something larger.
 
15-Nov-14
Found with Lochb and Quiet1_au on a day out caching in this area. Parking nearby we walked to Gz and started to look around. I must have looked at this one and moved on. Eventually L looked and saw the cache at once. She did not let me forget it for the rest of the day. Thanks daunts

15-Nov-14
Out with GJMMelb and quiet1_au today. Yes, I did spot the cache where the others had looked before... Smile TFTC

Dropped Geo Dad off at the Beer festival and Geo kid 6 and I went hunting Smile.

Geokid spotted this one herself and was very chuffed as it is the first she has beaten me to.

Thanks.

Our first ever cache find with 7 boys aged 7-9.
We are hooked!

Congratulations to Ben777 as the first cacher who actually used the 903 bus for any of the caches in this series.
 
29-Aug-14
Stop four on my 903 caching day. I got off at the stop opposite the cemetery and in a short matter of time I was at GZ with the cache in hand. Thinking I could find a different way out I was disappointed to find that gate locked and had to track back to the main gate where I had come in. In doing so I missed a bus and had the longest wait of my day of about 20 minutes at the nearby stop on the corner of Nicholson Street.

We took advantage of the nice weather and did a little bike trip along Merry Creek. This trip, of course, included searching for a few GZs, as this one since it was not far off the way.
A nice easy find, TFTC!

I've been past here a few times but never with any time to spare. Today was a different story and I soon had the cache found, signed and replaced. I even remembered to grab the number for the final this time.
Thanks daunts for the cache.

22-Mar-14
After being outmuggled in Northcote, I rode up here to give one more cache a try before heading home. Luckily, there was nobody around here and even more luckily it was a quick and easy find. I'm not particularly a fan of cemeteries, so I'm glad this one was straightforward. Cheers!

A quick and easy find with zheon. Tftc
 
10-Mar-14
Discovered today that I had forgotten to log this find last year, or was it in 2012? But as I was doubting myself did discover that I had taken note of the clue.
This confirms to me that I'm not just imagining the rotunda-memory but I have an extra smily to my credit.

Thanks Daunts and sorry for a belated log.
