By logs from early July, this cache has clearly gone. No response to "Needs Maintenance" on 5th July...time it came off the list.
This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
Please respond to this situation by 12th October 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 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 cache and archived without further notice.

aww man, where to start on this one...this is my fifth time in Eltham since starting Geocaching, I live 1km from this one and everytime I visit I want to get it, never have....FINALLY a chance to nab it. come to gz and the contents are strewn everywhere! no container in sight, just the contents...unfortunately a trackable has been stolen (its tag ripped off) I am so sorry to the cache owner and the trackable owner
there is construction going on across from GZ so it must be a very busy site right now
PS at least I can say that I am a big fan of Animal Crossing so I love the username

Parts of what seemed to be the contents of the cache had been scattered including what seemed like a travelbug "I want to travel around the world" and the geocaching official notice (pic attached). Should be checked by CO in case it has been muggled.
TFTC. Lid was separately lying there. Moved treasure around so lid would close. R&GH
Another Cache Run of Arthur and Dent together with MasterIschi. We spend a day between Eltham and Heidelberg enjoying the sun and weathering out the rain. We want to thank all the cache owners for affords the put into placing the caches. Thank you guys!

Thx for the cache. After all these years I've never walked this path and caught a game of rugby too.
Had to walk in front of footy practice to get to the track and once on the track was at ground zero. Liked the hiding spot. Arms were just long enough to retrieve it. TFTC
Parked at the park and went for a walk, having to pretend to be on my phone at GZ as a few muggle cyclist and runners about this morning. Signed log and replaced ... TFTC
Great little spot for this geocache.
Was hoping to find the monkey, but it was not inside . Hopefully whoever has it will return it to another geocache to continue its journey.

Another post-basketball game cache. We approached from next to the bowls club as figured main road would be too busy. A nice reward of a tree full of cockies and corellas, and geodaughter was far more interested in collecting feathers. Spent a while doing some scrambling down the bank, but checking other logs GZ is a bit off. If it's any help, it is on the other side of the track! Once we widened our search there was an obvious spot and cache found, logged and replaced. Monkey TB is missing however. TNLN TFTC.
I was in the area doing the nearby mult/puzzle so I decided to divert over the road before going home. No problems with parking and then a short walk had me at Gz. I had a look around before trying the really obvious spot. There was the 'box'. Thanks tomnook123

A lovely leafy path and all empty today. Not so quiet over to the west, as there appeared to be some kind of international lawn bowls competition in progress.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Cool location, but not impressed with the trinket selection, so I'll hold onto mine.
Coordinates had me nearly 10meters from GZ (blaming heat) but quickly spotted an obvious hide location. Thanks for bringing me here. Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face
It was yet another beautiful weather night tonight so headed out with my caching buddy to find a few caches after dinner until dark. It was a reasonably successful night.
We parked nearby in the empty bowling car park which made for a very short walk to the cache. Found nice and easily then continued on the path to the next couple of caches. Came back to the car and wondered where the keys were ... still in the ignition. Doh!
Thanks for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Found log book only, like others.
Needs maintenance to add a container.
Nice location though hope next person
can bring a container.
TFTH!

Found only a damp half empty log book in a tree hollow filled with empty cans and other rubbish. A check of previous log entries confirmed that I'd found the 'cache' so I signed the damp book, and returned it to where it was. However the container needs to be replaced (it's nowhere to be seen) and someone with a rubbish bag should clean up the mess before someone gets hurt.
We were walking past this cache again today and found that it is gone. Part of the logbook was there and some empty soft drink cans but nothing else. Looks like it has been muggled.

Nice hide. GPS had me on the opposite side at first, but once I did a 360 look around I figured it was obvious where it would be.........and I was right.

On a miserable day, enjoyed the rainy walk from the footy ground.

Stopped by in the late afternoon to show my nephew what Geocaching is. Forgot to bring a pen so did not sign log (I know...I know... will be back soon to sign). A good location and we had a nice walk along the path to get here. Nothing swapped.
Thanks tomnnok123

I found a great spot to park, at the bowling club,

I was running the probable locations through my head as I approached, went straight to the right spot on this one.
A bit too dark to see the cache, so I just let my geo-senses make the find for me. SL and TFTH.
Day 14 of the 31 Days of Geocaching Challenge. 1st find out of 3 (so far) for the day.
Fantastic hiding place. I've walked past it many many times without even suspecting it was there. Although my GPS had me scrambling around on the other side of the path I soon decided I had to check the place where the cache was located. Even then it was very well disguised.

Found at 9.45 am on Tuesday 6 August 2013 after a brisk walk from the town centre. Nice hide and thanks for the cache.
Taking cache out for maintenance for a few hours. Come back tomorrow or later today.
Went to the coordinates, should have been right on top of it but no luck after 10 minutes so moved on plus I was being watched by suspicious muggles.
This one had us puzzled for a short while because the co-ordinates led us to the opposite side of the path. Nevertheless, my daughter decided to look further afield and found the cache. Maybe the co-ordinates are a bit off?
Found at 14:54
Out and about with the geokids to give my better half her last bit of peace for the next two weeks of school holidays. Collected this one while in the middle of the new nearby mystery cache. GPS was pointing on the wrong side of the path but a quick find nonetheless.
Thanks tomnook123 for the cache. The kids had a good run up and down the hills on the other side of the road.

The cache is a little wet which I beleive to be due to of the beer cans lying around the cache.
Thanks for the nice cache. 4th out of 6 for today. Thanks for the cache and good luck to other geocachers!
