### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###

----------

I am wondering what is happening with the logs associated with this cache. It would seem the log has been replaced on two occasions by good Samaritans, but it is still missing!

Perhaps it's about time the CO visited the cache to find out what is happening?

Please respond to this situation by **7th April** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating a date when you believe the situation will be resolved.

**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.

Out caching on a quiet Sunday morning. Much appreciate the effort spent in creating this cache. As mentioned by previous finders, the log is missing.
 
19-Jan-19
The young geokids had some exposure to geocaching in industrial parks last night so I decided to continue their experience but this time in broad daylight. We wouldn't make it out of the car if this wasn't the weekend. No muggles about that might catch our suspicious behaviour. Actually there were a couple of cars that drove by but with natural camo around us, I'm sure they took no notice.

On the subject of camo, thumbs up to the CO for creating this one. When I spotted it I gave it a bit of a nudge and to my pleasant surprise it was the cache. Called over the geokids to come have a look at this one. The older one could appreciate but the younger one was once again disappointed because the cache was too small to hold his swaps he brought along. Log signed and replaced.

What a great cache. Gave me a laugh when I finally found it!

Nice hide.... very smart.

This needs some TLC
 
13-Aug-18
Found this cache after walking past it a hundred times
 
14-Jul-18
I headed to this cache as my last before going home. By this point the light had largely gone and I was searching by phone light. I wandered around a little bit and looked in the obvious places. Given the cache has a lot of favourite points I started to look for something that might be a bit different. I then came across the hide. Really nicely well done and gets a FP from me. TFTC
 
20-Jun-18
Awesome cache. Nice arvo for a bit of fun.
 
15-Jun-18
Out with my son today while picking us some balloons for his trade. Easy parking and a quick find as we have a theme similar. Excellent camo well worth a favourite Thanks for the effort here Darylim123
 
11-Jun-18
Thanks so much for the effort put into this cache and a definite favourite. Took a while before had that "hang on, maybe" moment that paid off. Thanks again Daryllm123. Not what we were expecting to find but made our day.

Logged as NicNax2. Enjoyed the weekend with WeRAmused picking up some caches and visiting some interesting places. What a clever cache. Fav Pt. TFTC

Found as NicNax2. MazzyMay and I are on the loose together again. She had barely got her stuff put away and we were off finding a few local ones. Easily the best treasure found today, a fav from me. TFTC
 
08-May-18
Very creative hide tftc
 
05-May-18
I was suffering today, so I wanted a nice drive by cache. I was pleasantly surprised. My expectations were set at a sistema at the base of a tree today, but your cache far exceeded them! At first I suspected on part that I have seen done before, but then soon realised that it was a different section. Fantastic cache and so nice to find in the middle of the semi industrial wonderland. TFTC Daryllm123
 
02-Apr-18
love the camo. Took us a minute or two to work it out, but when we stepped back a little it just stood out.
 
24-Mar-18
As is my won't on a Saturday I try and visit either a bike path or industrial area for my daily caching fix. It's better to go to where the muggles are not, don't you agree?
Plus I had been talking to another cacher about finishing off the 'must do' caches listed by the organisers of the 2015 Mega.
Some seem to have changed in size (probably brought to the attention of local muggles by the large number of cachers at the time) whilst some have remained the same. I'm glad to see that this has remained the same and I'm glad that I visited when I've had the benefit of some more finds as I think I would've struggled with this one back in 2015 when I was just starting.
I practically walked right up to the cache today which was a good thing given that I'd gotten out early to beat the forecast rain. I think this cache is deserving of a favourite point for the effort put into it's camo.
 
20-Mar-18
Found nice cache !! TFTC
 
21-Jan-18
What a surprising little park this is. In my hi-vis t-shirt I mounted the mound and descended the ditch then spied what I thought was worth investigating. Indeed, it was worth investigating. TFTC
 
12-Dec-17
Found it. Saw a creepy orange/grey spider with furry web lives there. I had to let it go and logged in. Good hide and fav for me. Thanks Daryllm123 for the cache.
 
09-Dec-17
Ah yes nicely done. Fav given. Thanks to Daryllm123 for placing this cache.
 
26-Nov-17
Very clever well hidden cache, great camo. No muggles on a quiet Sunday morning , but the peace was disturbed by a very noisy flock of Indian Minors, objecting to us searching in their patch.
 
12-Sep-17
On the way to Doveton to see a patient and I was able to spare the time to detour via this cache. Escaping the car and my unexpectedly traumatic audio book, I enjoyed the odd little park and headed straight for the cache. Initially, I wasn't sure what I was looking for then saw something that required investigation. My caching experience showed and I came up trumps. TFTC Darrylm123
 
10-Aug-17
A quick stop this morning and park nearby to walk over to GZ. A nice bit of camo for a quick find. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC. A favourite point from us.
 
25-Jul-17
Oooo never found one like this before!!! Looked around thinking the hind had something to do with the four burrows about 6m east of GZ. Thank goodness it didn't. Who knows what kind of animal is living in there!
Nice work! Cheers, TFTC
 
05-Jul-17
Clever! Well-hidden, great hide. Had seen something similar before but was fabulous nonetheless
 
29-Jun-17
Dropped by today to check on this one, still all good added new sheet, loving all the favourite points thanks to everyone that has taken time to find it happy hunting to those that haven't as of yet
 
18-Jun-17
After dropping off my wife for her Myki run from Berwick to Caulfield via each station, my daughter and I went caching.
Thought this would be an easy one early on a Sunday morning, however my daughter was sure the cache was on the truck that we parked behind until it drove off. Then we were able to start looking.
Very good camouflage, but my caching sense took me straight to it. After playing Hot/Cold with my daughter she soon found it.
Thanks for the cache Daryllm123.

17-Jun-17
Nice hide, I did notice this early in the search and never checked but my wife decided to check it and wala it wet our appetite to keep caching for the day.
 
29-Apr-17
Out with frmen1 to get 10 quick caches today. This was #10 and was a quickie. We came prepared...read the previous logs and observed the lay of the land. As we approached, something stood out and amazingly, it was the cache. Great idea. TFTC and a fav pt from me
 
29-Apr-17
Quick find with tassie expat. Haha very clever. Tf
 
06-Apr-17
After checking out some running/walking tracks and cafes down south. We stopped to find this cache on the way home due to its large number of favourites. After taking the long way to GZ, Mr Pooky made a quick easy find as something did not look quite right. A very well designed cache and a favourite from us. We did not see the live eight legged friend lurking around but did disturb the ant colony. TFTC and bringing us to the area.
 
03-Mar-17
In the area today for work and had an hour to burn this afternoon so went for a walk. Noticed something odd on approach to GZ and was spot on. Fantastic camo and a favourite for us. Future finders beware a live eight legged friend might be lurking nearby. TFTC!
 
14-Jan-17
Caching around the eastern suburbs in the company of McLookers enjoying the variety of cache types and hides targeted for the weekend. After enjoying a lovely dinner close by we targeted 10 more caches to make a total of 50 finds in a day. Being dark by now had its advantages as we searched stealthily with phone torches and adding our names to the log books.
Thanks for the clever cache construction Daryllm123, a favourite point for the effort.
 
14-Jan-17
We were glad to detour to find this cache. Our luck was in and we were able to find the cache quite quickly tonight, excellent camo and conastruction, a favourite from us. Found with The Tritonz, thanks Darryllm123.

Find #3076

Had a little time to spare after work so managed to look for a few caches in and around Dandenong. This was my third of six finds and after a couple of busy areas this one was much quieter. I thought I wasn't identifying GZ very well at first but then I spotted the camo and realised what i was after here. Managed to retrieve and replace without disturbing a big spider from his resting spot. Took nothing, left nothing. signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Daryllm123. This one earns a favourite point from me.
 
31-Dec-16
A few minutes of searching about then turned around and was sure that didn't belong there. Yep that's the cache alright. Excellent hide. Thanks Smile

Masterful. Great little reserve amongst the factories. Perfect hide. TFTC

This one must be a little too clever for me. I searched all over and had no luck!
 
14-Sep-16
Working in the area . Haven't been cacheing for ages so thought perfect. Found straight away but very imaginitive camo non the less . Thanks for the quick drive by

Very, very well done. The best of this tour of hide I've seen. A fav for sure.
Thanks Daryllm123 for the cache.

Sunday evening out caching with TrailStevo, hoping for double figures on our escape and mission accomplished I believe. Usual fun, usual escape. TFTC
 
14-Aug-16
Night searching with Gunks. Hoping for a few tonight. Tftc
 
31-Jul-16
Today, we needed a cache with at least 10 Favourite Points for a souvenir, so as we were going past, we decided to call by and grab this one.

A quick find was made here and we were back in the car in no time, so thanks Daryllm123 for this sneaky but easy find.

Thank you for the placement.

OMG that was an awesome cache #TeamWhat
 
29-May-16
This took a lot longer than it should have.. I looked directly at the camouflage when we started our initial sweep of the area!! Unfortunately when i did move the camo, a giant huntman jumped out and i haven't stopped shaking since! Luckily it was a Sunday or I probably would have drawn unwabted attention to us due to my loud scream and throwing the cache and camo a few metres!
Thank you for the hide, great to see something a bit different to the usual urban caches.

At the end of the working day and just around the corner from this one I had checked the map for any close by caches. I noticed the amount of favourites this one had and thought it be worth a look.

As busy as this area is it was good to have no lingering muggles about to interrupt the search, mainly just the traffic. I honed in on a particular area and hope the cache wasn't compromised amongst the bit of rubbish dumped here, but poked and prodded here and there , even toyed with the hide before realising it.

Great piece of camo that suits the area well.

TFTC, Cheers.

Flew into Melbourne today from New Zealand for a caching/family visit. Told my brother (Stinky Tom) that I had to find a cache today to get two countries in one day. He brought me to this one.
It was a quick find. But a very cool one. First international cache and it was a great way to start the holiday.
Thanks for the cache.
 
24-Mar-16
This one had me stumped for quite some time and I almost gave up. One last look around......
This is strange....
Found it!!! Wow awesome hide TFTC

Such a wonderfully sneaky cache in what would be a very busy area on a weekday (which is why I snuck in at 7:30am on a public holiday)

This one had us fooled previously before we had the gizmo. Was not tricked a second time. Well cammoed one, nice work. Not what I was searching for.
 
25-Jan-16
Probably the best one so far. So well hidden.
No swappable though. Kids were a bit disappointed.

Clever little cache! I won't tell my dad about this one, as he is likely to cannibalise it for the purpose it was intended. TFTC

Thought being late on a Saturday afternoon this area would be totally muggle free, we were wrong had to wait a muggle out that was having a beer at the near by picnic tables. This is certainly a quality built hide and a very clever cache. The number of favourite points does it justice. TFTC sl.

Considered logging a dnf after traeling through activity log for clues. Geojiggo's first time so we had one more look for anything 'why would that be there?' And a woohoo got it from geojiggo. Very clever hide.

JSando and I decided to continue our caching today after picking up Tyzza1 to join us. We'd heard this cache was pretty special so made the trek down from Heidelberg and we certainly weren't disappointed. TFTC, THE GREAT CAMO AND THE GREAT LOCATION. A FAVE POINT FROM ME. OOPS CAPS, oh well lol

Caching with With J from GJMMelb today and had out sights set on some caches with high favourite points.. Following J's list we arrived back here to where my car was nearby...
We took a stroll through the park and soon found ourselves at GZ.. A great hide!

Thanks Daryllm Smile:)
 
07-Jul-15
Met up with ms-enchantress for some mischief making, I mean caching, this morning and this was last on the list and in fact where we had left ms-e's car. We headed for GZ probably the long way around, but it is a lovely spot! As I was watching my GPS still decreasing in numbers, ms-e had looked up from her phone and spotted the great hide from some distance away! An excellent version of this sort of hide!! We went back to the gardens and sat and chatted for a bit before heading off home.
TFTC Daryllm123 - Fave point from us- GJMMelb

Muggle hubby had asked if I wanted to find some caches today, and having selected a few to meet the Road Trip requirements for favourites (and having this in my nemesis list) we decided to stop by, even though I had found the first one on my list today.

Once again, I was in the wrong area, not quite as bad as the last time, but still went straight past the hide.

Hubby was the one who alerted me to the hide, which I should have spotted as strange the first time!!
