### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###
----------
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that may need some attention. Perhaps it is time for the CO to check on this one please.
I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by 16th August,** 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:
- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) 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 don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.
- 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 (by 16th August). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.
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 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 instructions posted above.

Looked for ages but didn’t find it! There had just been a huge Easter egg hunt in the park so we’re hoping that a muggle didn’t grab it!!
Walked past this one yesterday as the council was out doing maintenance. This morning I got a perfect oportunity to pick this one up. TFTC
Greytiger was in action again and another found. A nice little park to have lunch and the sandwiches were consumed. TFTC.
Time for lunch and a little rest, thanks for this cache and park amaali and I had a well earned rest.

Was searching in slightly wrong area. But found soon after realising. Nice camo TFTC
i sat at the bench to chill for a bit, then three people sat down aswell, i had to wait for them to leave before i could grab it, tftc
This cache was closest to my sister's house, where we stayed in Melbourne. So first thing this morning I got out and grabbed it. We are heading back to the US today so I want to find two caches far apart on the same day! The time zones make this work perfectly. Found the cache after a short search in the wrong area first. Thanks!
In the city for one week. I arrived earlier on Sunday, which gave me some time for geocaching, shopping and a yummy dinner.
Easy find after relaxing at GZ for a while. TFTC

4th day at the Alfred. Found by S.
Took a bit of a walk through the back streets of South Yarra this morning to pick up some caches in the little parks around. This first one was an easy find.
The beautiful rose garden was in full bloom and made the morning just a bit better.

Came an hour ago but there was a muggle eating lunch right where the cache was. So i came back and there was a muggle mowing the lawn but i managed to grab it before he turned to look my way. A little difficult getting up the hill in my wheelchair but i managed it cause im crazy.
Circling around, back towards our hotel, we ventured back across the railway line and came upon this delightful park! I read the history sign on the old laundry, disappointed to not see the depicted building. The spiderlings enjoyed the playground, though the slide was wet as the eldest's pants discovered. A very quick find when the muggle and his dog left the park, TFTC skakids
No one in the park when I visited on my bike. Parked up, sat down, signed log and moved along.
Making way towards Fawkner Park
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.

i could not find the original container so i placed a new one along with a new log and swap, please let me know if you find two!! thanks
Another Quest cache down. We are certainly not doing it in the correct (if there is one) order. This one was nice and quiet, and apart from looking in the wrong spot first, quickly found the cache. As per other loggers, the log is quite damaged but there is a new bit of paper in the cache that could be used. Thanks again Skakids for another quest cache.

I'm in Melbourne for the day and waiting for my wife so of course I decided to find a few caches!
I sat down a lot at GZ, then spied one more to test for comfort. A quick find there!

Didn't try and get the log out as it is all wet and stuck inside. Might need some attention. This is me 100th cache though and what a nice little park. Tftc.
Another day being taxi driver for Sims_family mum and family to visit their sister in the Alfred. After dropping them of I finished off all of the caches I had left in Fawkner Park and still had time to kill. This gave me the opportunity to drive over to this quaint little park. I initially took a seat at the wrong area but once my GPS settled down I knew where I had to be looking. After I waited for a young family to leave the park I changed where I was seated and made the quick grab.
Thank you skakids for the hunt

Entering the park I remembered that I looked for another cache back in 2012.I think i didn't find that one. Tftc
Found this one a few years ago. Visited Argo reserve again to on a bike ride over to the Grand Prix. Watched the wattlebirds and noisy miners for a while in all the big beautiful trees. Then decided to refine this cache - I think it is in a new location from last time. Nice easy find. Log almost full. Thanks Skakids for this fantastic quest series, and best wishes.
Today i Made a cachingtour in Melbourne and I found this cache. Greets from germany
I was struggling to get here. My back was hurting and generating shooting pains down my legs. I was really glad to take the seat. And grab the cache. No muggle problems. Chatted to a couple of mums with young kids who came to play. Nice spot. Five minutes rest to settle my back and legs down, a few stretches, and I'm good to go again. This is a really great series; Thank you for putting it out.
After eventually finding a parking spot (be aware of the restricted times), I went for a quick walk back to this lovely little park. A few people walked through but they seemed happy to ignore me. My GPS would not settle so after resorting to the clue, a process of elimination was used and the cache was found, signed and returned. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
Just noticed I have a whole list of caches from my Melbourne holiday last November which I hadn't logged.

Didnt find this but in fairness it was raining and we didnt look long. It may be there.
Easy find, muggles and we're eating but we managed to convince them to let us look. Easy cache easy life. No suspicious activity needed. 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...
Very easy find in a nice little park... TFTC

Find #1035
Out for a bike ride today on the quest around the area. Had a good streak of finds until I made it to the other side of Chapel St and then the time of day and muggle made me retire earlier than anticipated. thanks for all the effort in this series skakids!
A quick find and then took a different spot to enjoy a drink and the excellent garden out in full bloom at the moment.

Came with a previous finder but it wasn't in the same spot. Searched high and low with no luck. First DNF!
Found by Team Ninja 29/11/16, find number 935.
I had the day off work so I went into the city to finish off my Christmas shopping. I used to work in Richmond and I knew there were a lot of caches in South Yarra, so I detoured via the area to complete a few of the Quest series.
Third find for the day and I enjoyed winding my way through the streets of South Yarra on this beautiful day. The park was deserted which made the hunt easy, I knew what I was looking for and soon had the cache in hand. A few builders working across the road paid me no attention and I had the log signed and cache replaced. TFTC skakids.
