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. 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.

If you wish to contact me regarding this cache, please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

Hi there skakids,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention. You would have received an automated email from Geocaching HQ recently which explained what they need to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) .

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** 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 14 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.

No longer there

Definitely not here

Couldn’t find- seeing by the number of dnf’s it might need maintenance

??

️

Looked every metal spot

Naught to find

DNF

With an afternoon to spare and a desire to have a decent walk I chose an Area not to far away with a cluster of caches and set about grabbing some of the quest series...20,000 steps later....this one beat me...it was getting late so I gave up after a good search.

Thanks!

Luckily one of us used to play tftc

Second attempt another DNF

Wow this was hard. Great way to end the day TFTC

after looking for a long time, taking a break and reassessing, We finally found it. great cache. Hard to open, but don’t see how mugged would stumble on it.

Greytiger and I looked in the wrong spots but after a bit of reassessment we got it. TFTC.

amaali and I finally found this one, a good hide and yes we had to be careful.
Greytiger

Done

It should have been an easy find but took me a while. I also struggled to open it. TFTC!

Thanks! Good hide!

TFTC

Trickier to get open than it is to find!

Another one bites the dust

Tftc

Good spot for a cache

Found It!
As I arrived here it started to pour with rain. So thankfully I was able to park right next to the cache and quickly found it!
TFTC

It was lit really fun idea

I could reach it with my wheelchair. Was just on the ground so when i placed it back i kept to the hint so the co may need to check its in the right place. Was difficult to open but i fixed that as it was how the contents were stuffed in. log was also full so i put another piece of paper in to add to the log

The lid is jammed on, so a bit of challenge to log. Lovely street and houses

No muggles at night.

Quick grab with my french friends! Second in Melbourne, TFTC !

TFTC!

TFTC!

Thought I'd done this one before but mustn't have logged it. TFTC!

On the way back to the car and I find the 1st one. Is this where it all started?

A quick find here, no one around to bother me.

Thanks skakids

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I have got a nice streak going and hoping to let it run for as long as possible. I usually cache on my own but sometimes I will collect my nephew stinky bob and my brother stinky tom who both enjoy this hobby.
A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Bike park and cache

Great find. Thanks

Tonight we had an unexpected rush up to the Alfred with Sims_family Mum's sister having an emergency operation. It was my job for the night to be taxi and get Sims_family mum, her sister and brother up to the hospital. After that job was done I had some time to kill. Even though it was very late, rapidly approaching midnight what else was I to do so I started to cache the area. Within in reason no dark alleys or anywhere that seemed a bit dangerous at that time of night.
even though parking was tight at this time of the morning I was able to squeeze in directly across the road from GZ. I felt a little suspicious creeping around this early in the morning so I was grateful for a quick find.

Thank you skakids for the find my last for the night/morning. Now to get everyone home after a long day

Nice hide. Tftc

Today i Made a cachingtour in Melbourne and I found this cache. Greets from germany

Spotted this one fairly quickly but had a bit of trouble getting the lid off and had to resort to a special geocaching tool I had with me. NIce hide. TFTC

Spotted on approach, discretely retrieved, signed and returned. A quick hit and run.. thanks..!!

Tftc

Two of us immediately looked to our third when we misread "get on your knees." XD tftc!

Thanks for the cache!

Hahahah

K

I found it

TFTC

Got it. Well hidden. Thanks.

Nice camo. TFTC

SisterCorny travelling Asia and Oceania for four month, stopping over in Melbourne for a couple of days after returning from NZ.
Day2 of our stay in MEL, today we walked from Richmond through South Yarra to St. Kilda, very different neighbourhoods, but all three great and very nice caches on the way. In the brilliant weather we had great fun exploring the city and finding hidden boxes...
Found easily once all muggles past by, but opening the box took much longer... Night street, TFTC

After a sad day for Melbourne, grabbing a cache to continue the consecutive streak going seemed a little unimportant, but a quick stop at this one ticked the box and life must go one. Off the train and a quick wander, this one was easily spotted and returned. Thanks Skakids, now have #1, just a few more to go.

Found by Team Justice #1447 - CCIR #133

With lisyb

Look up

Good hide

My Quest became making Astro park illegally like every true cacher should...failed on this one, but I tried
Many thanks skakids from the Wacky one

Found even without parking illegally this time.

Thanks to skakids and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Find number 5794 at 11:33:45 am
Visiting my Dad at the Alfred I figured I had to grab a couple of local caches before I headed home.
A quick grab once at the GZ, parking is more of a challenge.
**Thanks for placing this cache skakids**

Tricky to find and trickier to open! TfTC

Nice hide. A bit hard to open, though. TFTC

Today I got to find some more great caches around this area. I finally got around to number 1 in this series and I made the find harder than it needed to be. I looked here and their before it was found right in front of my nose. TFTC

Find #926
Finished a work event nearby and missed the train, so decided to use the few minutes to look for a cache. This was the nearest one to me. I was suprised how quiet it was... which helped with the retrieval and replacement. I was back on the platform for the next train - bonus! TFTC!

Geodaughter pointed this one out for me to grab for her.

Found this one without the GPS the girls said its over there so I went and got it TFTC

3rd cache found on our 3 day of caching in Melbourne team GoldJ fly back to Hobart this afternoon, the Carnival Spirit sail out as well. It has been great catching up and caching together. TFTC

Nice quick find thanks !
Phew......On to the next.....might stop at my accom nearby for a cuppa....!

TFTC !! Think I just crossed paths with another sneaky player. A real novice I am. Learning to be careful.

#701 Fourth of twenty three finds on a mostly wet, windy and cold day caching around suburban Melbourne. Found after a short search. TFTC

Found it!

??

Reach for it

Back in Melb for a fortnight, grabed this one on an evening walk. Had a bit f a feel around down low (not on my knees) but then relised I needed to look for something silver, ah and there it was. TFTC

#237

Thank you - Sashinka

Spotted the place thinking 'This must be it!', placed my bike some meters away seeing another spot. Though 'This must be the old one.', but there it was. Wonder about the old place and found this other silver spot where you could place it very good too. That was fun

Find #5 of 10. Out and about on a walking Quest with Kevin today.

Plenty of muggle dodging today, but a quick find.

Found with Geojaygnome. Greetings from Ottawa. Tftc!

TFTC! Found with Brigspa while on an extended Australian holiday!

Nailed it!

Thanks!

I saw number 1 on the map and thought "I HAVE" to get that one"... and this is where my favourite part of the story starts - walking along having a bit of a look ... And a voice says "it's a bit higher up" and I look around and a man with a pushchair is there, smiling. I try and work out if it is a knowledgable local or cacher and ask his name- twice as I didn't quite catch it - or maybe didn't quite believe it... It is YOU, skakids CO of this very series! And you kindly fetch it down as I am a bit short, and we start talking. Then you offer a bit of a tour, and who am I to argue!? What a bonus! It makes my story logs a bit funny though, as you know it all from here on - but for prosperity's sake I'll continue.

Wow, the last finder is a cruel person, I'm glad I'm not short!
Tftc

Found it! Had to jump a little though. Small, but not too small for a shiny Pokémon disc - left it!!!

Parked here on our way to the market... love searching for a nearby cache wherever I go.
TFTC!

With a big day planned for the St Kilda area with Na'wal and DAB, we set off from Geelong in the early hours of the morning while it was still dark heading for our main targets...the Quest series. It was a fun day zipping around the suburbs finding the various hides , enjoying a laugh or two as we went. Having 4 people in the car came in handy when driving around the narrow streets , 1 driving, 1 navigating and 2 in the back to jump out when a park wasn't available.
Thanks skakids for the hide.

** Smile # *3734* / Traditional # *2903* **

DAB, theTritonz and myself had a big day planned up and around the St. Kilda area. We set off from Geelong in the early hours of the morning before the sun had risen. Our main goal for the day was to complete the Quest series. It was another great, fun day out with awesome company [^] and some great caches found.
A quick find for us on this one today. Plenty of muggles minding their own business to worry about us. Signed and replaced as found.

**Thanks for this trad cache, skakids** [^]
**Cache container and log good in good condition**
**Took Nothing, Left Signature**
