Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement or an indication as to when this might take place

It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please. The cache has been temporarily disabled, to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed and also to remove it from search listings.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance)

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days, please** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 30 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) it on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

We were spying the pool wishing for a swim when we realised we were ontop of the cache. Cache is missing the lid and the log is in a very sorry state after having been shoved in and out of the cache container repeatedly. Maintenance required but TFTC

A glorious day out for a walk, a stroll, a meander along the pathtways, footpaths, roads and tracks in the area, picking up some geoaches along the way. This was a great day for geocache, sunny yet not too hot and all of the geocaches had great co-ordinates, were easy to find, were somewhat varied and all in all a very enjoyable day.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks to the hider for this experience today, with the weather and the great co-ordinates this was a day of geocaching, not a day of 'guess the hiding spot'. We both appreciated the series of geocache that we found today.
*Overall Experience: 3*

This was my final destination on the caching run today. I followed the geotrail and found the cache tucked away. I was pretty sure I had found enough caches to complete the Mystery at the Museum but just in case this was the home run! TFTC
 
05-Aug-19
Another quick find here and the last of this stretch before returning to tackle To Climb a Hill. Thanks Baluke.
 
05-Aug-19
An easy find on a sunny winters afternoon. TFTC
 
05-Aug-19
I thought my GPS was trying to send me into someone’s back garden for a while there, or alternatively, down into a storm water drain, but once we had the cache in hand everything made a lot more sense. Very sneaky, TFTC!
 
16-Jul-19
Nice
 
14-Jul-19
Gotcha

Walked straight up to it, but you can't see it from the road. The logbook looks as if it's full, but I found there were some blank pages in the middle - you have to search for them! But if everyone finds little blank spots in the book, it's going to make it hard to find anything later.
 
16-Jun-19
Super easy. Thank you
 
19-May-19
Log book full. Another minty fresh!
 
12-May-19

Find #3960. Found @ 17:23

My self-appointed challenge for the year is to get 1000 finds for the year, and I've fallen behind in that. To get me closer, I went on another after work sojourn North of work.

I parked near the access point to the park on Websters Road and walked to the furthest cache along the path before working my way back. On the walk to this cache, I saw my first snake of the season on the path. A passing cyclist paused at the area where the snake was moving across the thoroughfare and warned other approaching cyclists and walkers until the snake had slithered off. Sometimes people surprise you by doing something selfless.

The cache was a quick find once I arrived at GZ.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache baluke
 
25-Nov-18
Quick find thanks to the hint!

First though was “oh no...!” Then “that was easier than expected. “

Another quick and easy find on the trail.

This cache was on an afternoon winter sunshine bike ride with slipscache. The cache was located on the classic gravel hill track. This cache had me scanning the very edge of the location. I tried to find this one but slipscache found it first. I wonder how many times I have passed this cache on runs and rides. Thanks BaLuke for the funny story in the description, the local sport stories are always a classic.
 
Was looking in the wrong spot but then quickly found after looking elsewhere. Then I had to wait for a heap of muggles to go past before signing amd replacing. TFTC
 
29-Apr-18
Perhaps our Etrex 10 was acting up but we couldn't quite find the cache where we thought it should be. Still, the clue led us to search a little more widely and we eventually found it. Thanks for the cache!
 
31-Mar-18
4x of us looking made this a quick find Smile tftc

Found with ICW. I'm not interested in baseball, but I am enjoying this series of caches along the Yarra Trail. Tftc.

TFTC, good use of geocaching resources

Too many muggles around on my way past but had a shot on the way back with a spidey stick in hand. And look at that, there's a cache in there! Joy for me. Thanks

attacked by a spider in the process but it's okay we found it! Very Happy

there was a spider guarding this one! fun find
 
16-Jan-18
So many possible places. Obviously did not look in the right one.
 
15-Jan-18
Had to time the search so as not to arouse the suspicions of parent/children cycling muggles. Cache was found fairly quickly. Guess I got lucky because there sure is a lot of foliage around.....
 
01-Jan-18
Once again no pencil, logbook is full. We will be back!

A long, slow, soulful walk is what lead me tonight.
Not to 'here' exactly...
It was a meander not 'towards' anything, more 'from' something.
I needed the solitude. And this trail was wonderfully deserted tonight, aside from the possums, wombats and kangaroos I would occasionally startle.
The stars were incredible.
Sparkling vibrantly, but so, so distant.
I have a star like that...

At GZ, I was surprised at where the GPS was sending me. A key feature was quickly discounted before my torchlight revealed a subtle geotrail of a different kind somewhere else.
Ha! Nice one, Baluke!
Thanks for providing me with some direction tonight.

Great morning for a stroll think the rain has cleared nice hide

Logbook is pretty full...
Had to squeeze in somewhere random

OCW Mrs A and staying just across the way in the Tourist Park. Nice day for a walk and to attempt some of this series. The occasional muggle on foot and by bike passed us but with plenty of time in between to be stealthy. On foot today and enjoying the walk and the location. Visited a TB. TFTC Team Yarra.

**Please note: New log required.**

OCW Aries44 doing some of the series on foot. He has done most of the gabbing in his logs so I won't say much Smile. However really enjoying the series. TFTC Team Yarra.

On an Easter Monday afternoon walk, to exercise off some of the chocolate! The geo-hound is living the new smells and I am discovering a new walking track!
Wouldn't it be nice to live here! Thanks

Had to wait for all the pedestrians and cyclists to leave before before I could search for the cache.

Dad and boy jumped onto the mountain bikes early in the morning, to burn off some calories before the day warmed-up too much.

Raced along the path and located & signed this cache quickly. But then the drama struck as we came across a couple of joggers that had taken a tumble and banged-up their knee badly. We hope you made it back to your car & are ok now.

TFTC baluke, this is a great little series and we're loving riding along the yarra trail.

Old Toys on Ground maybe from Old Cache. Small box still where it's supposed to be. All good
