Hi there baluke,
It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.
**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**
#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-
- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace 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 logs of praise to roll in.
- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**
- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) 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.
**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD).
Thanks for your cooperation,

Wow great Camo! I thought it might be lost but all good here! Thanks for the cache so I can run around this nice park!
I don’t believe it is magnetised anymore, nor on the box.
Look for a hole down lower on the pole

Had a good search around and eventually spotted it! Managed to squeeze some initials on to the log..TFTC
Found with CMDYork, who couldn’t help looking for Boris! No luck on that front, but we did find the cache! TFTC
Found with yhtacmck
Couldn’t Boris but I definitely looked harder for him than I did the cache

We made sure not to open the box ... Are very scared of spiders. Found it, but it is no longer magnetic. Thanks for the cache
Oh wow ok - not what I was expecting - I haven’t seen one like that yet before - no way I was able to get the log out of there tho’ - TFTC I’m loving this park on a very crisp 2° Winter’s morn
It is no longer magnetised. Still well hidden. Log is almost full. So hard to get log out, needed a tool to assist. TFTF.
Found this one on the ground and don't think it was meant to be there? Put back where we think it belongs and said hi to Boris. Tftc
Found @08:09 #7514
A nice morning and the lega were a tad stiff from the parkrun done yesterday. A nice hide here with the hint more a distraction before the sneaky hide spotted. A tough log extraction and return. Found a smudge spot to sign but the log is full. Clue noted. Nice parkland as I meander back towards the car.

Great camo. The hint about magnetized threw us a little. Thanks for the adventure. Thankful to have missed Boris!

What a relief to head out for a few caches and not need to worry about the 5km zone any longer. I spent a pleasant Sunday morning in Ruffey Lake Park and nearby surrounds to find a bunch of caches here that I hadn't tried before. After a find nearby I headed on to this one to give it a go. Fell for a few red herrings but then was pretty pleased to spot this tricky little one for my second find of the morning. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Team Yarra / baluke.
Couldn’t find it last time after long search. Found it straight away this. I feel like the magnetic part is a red herring. Fun! Thank you
Just about to mark it as not found but I was standing right in front of it first micro!
Found this place recently . perfect for a daily walk if early enough . the park that was muggle free .. time for a 30min walk to get some fresh air away from everyone .. parked near this cache .. a reasonably quick find.. thanks BaLuke .. perfect placement and well constructed .. a favourite point from me
We saw Boris whilst poking around.. glad that’s all and not an electric shock! Thanks for the good hide.
Grabbing some fresh air while it’s muggle free to keep distance. Great hide and camo. TFTC
Clever little hide.
Poked, prodded, peered and pulled all over the place until this tiny tacker showed itself.

A lovely day for a long walk via Ruffey Lake.
I spent ages here, knowing what I was looking for, but going slightly crazy not finding it. Eventually found lying on the ground. This was the second cache in a row carelessly replaced by the same previous finders. Mum might need to give Jim some help with cache replacement...
No sign of Boris. For bonus cache karma, the song 'Boris the Spider' was performed by The Who, unusually for the band written and sung by bass player Jon Entwistle.

Out to look for some geocaches in this area. It took us about 20 min to find this. Nice camo, nice hide. TFTC.
Really tiny, smallest we've ever seen. Boris the Spider was home, we said hello. TFTC
Out on this very pleasant afternoon caching with the geokid and the geodog. As it is the Melbourne Cup holiday there were heaps of muggles about but luckily for us they weren't interested in what we were doing. The log was jammed into the cache but with some assistance from a few TOTT we were able to extract, sign and then return the log into the cache so hopefully the next finder won't have any issues signing the log. TFTC Team Yarra
A cunning little micro cache, and amazingly ozlsn and I found it without getting rained on. TFTC!
Set on the bench to eat some food watching footballers. I don’t think they saw us walk over and grab the cash. couldn’t get the logbook out of the tube.
Stopped by on my way home from an event and finally got the chance to turn this into a yellow smiley after a long time of it being a sad blue one.
Sneaky little hide, TFTC!

Found @10:40 on a pretty miserable Saturday morning. Quick find, no sign of Boris. TFTC!
Found by Mary and David, in company with pprass, at 12:45:00. Peter had planned ta bike ride for us to follow the series along the trails through the parks. Started out fresh, but gradually the hills took their toll on old legs and on the remaing life of our eBike batteries. Still managed more than 6 hours with about 20% charge left. An interesting series with a variety of hides to keep us on our mental toes. Really only one place this could have been, but only spotted it after looking from a different position. Our thanks to baluke.
Found at 12:44 PM GAFF5 in the company of maccamob.
Another one where there was lack of hiding spots at GZ, but we still couldn't locate the cache. Eventually David spotted it from his angle.
Thanks baluke

just on sunset with geodog. Had 1 1/2 hours to kill for geokid activity- brought the geodog. So went to find some caches. Found 4/5 -last one it was too dark and time ran out.
Had a few camouflaged caches as D5 like this container in open bush! This one easier than those - Thanks Team Yarra.
