One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (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 to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

No cache or beehive

had a good look but no luck for us today

sereral months since last log in and cache hasnt been found in a long time might be time tto free up the area

The quest for 1000 today whilst out and about with the Menzies Mob. Made the short walk to gz and looked and looked. Checked the logs and noticed all the DNF's. Maybe the CO should check on this one.

Thanks anyway MrTreeMC

not found today???......

Had a look for this one today as well as a while ago, and no luck, and noticed it had not been found for a long time, also checked out there profile and noticed they only had 12 caches to there name, we think this one should be checked out by a reviewer.

Looked everywhere, dnf.
I'll try next week, I'll bring a spare in case the cacher doesn't get to it.

Looked everwhere for this. Nowhere to be found. May have disappeared. Will put in maintenance request.

Looked everywhere for this. Not sure if it is still around or disappeared. May need checking on

Found! A quick drive-by to grab this cache. There were plenty of cars around on this busy stretch but no one parked just a short distance from cache. Interesting that cache container was a take-away food container O.o

Find #613

Easy find, very exposed. TFTC

Found with Byron Penn

A quick find as it was exposed today. Covered it as best I could. No bees around either maybe it was too hot.
TFTC MrTreeMC

Found our first geocache! Good find!

Second found with Renee!

Found with schapma today!

Nice easy find, I had a look for the bee hive , but no luck.

TFTC

Nice one! Thanks for the cache

Nice one. A quick one on the way home!

This was a fast one on our way through Geelong.

IN: nix
OUT: nix

Found #2931

Nice quick n easy one. Crappy weather means fewer muggles. TFTC

Found together wif Smyfwyf. A walk in the park right behind a house where we used to live when we were younger busy bees!

Making our way towards Geelong to watch the fireworks at the Carols by candle light we made a little detour to pick this one up,
Thanks Mr.TreeMC for the hide,
Regards The Coffee's.

Found[Time to Find: 1 min] 07 December 2013 16:54:24 WE parked just around the corner and ducked over to find this one, didn't stop to look for the bee hive. A good spot and nice easy find. Well done for your first cache hide.
JABs.

We were here with The Coffee's after dark so didn't see any bees but we did fortunately find a cache very quickly and added our names to the log.
Thanks for the cache MrTreeMC.

Found this cache as part of my caching trip with JAB's to Victoria's Mornington Pennisula and Geelong area. The 29 hours claimed 158 GC caches and 2 GCA trig points. Some great caches were found and the southern beaches were a highlight.

Nice place!

TFTC

TFTC! Found by the 5 yr old! Cheers, took nothing left extra swappables!

Found by Mary & David at 1045. Enjoyed the short walk from our chosen parking spot. Everything looked so green and lush in the park, and there were some wonderful old trees about. After logging the cache, we looked around for the hive. Spotted lots of bees coming and going from a hollow branch high in a gum tree about 20m NNE from GZ, but couldn't see any honeycomb from our vantage point. Wondered if that was the hive in question? Our thanks to MrTreeMC.

A quick grab on the way to a meeting. TFTC

Easy find due to previous person not putting camo back on/over cache.
But was a nice quick one, on the way home after a few tonight.

Drive Past Many Time A Week, Having GZ within Sight, Thought i Should Stop And Sign The Log.


TFTC

Made this a quick park and grab? with Snap Happy. Easy find but considering the cache container it was quickly spotted. May need a smaller clip lock (sistema) container to keep it weather proof. Otherwise nice area for a cache, thanks MrTreeMC for the cache.

I found it! This is my second find which I'm rapt about, I was starting to get disheartened after multiple attempts at caches!

We were out for a day trip to Geelong with the Geo-grandkids and thought we should grab some caches while here.

Ended up getting around 16 caches today.... not bad for a few hours caching

did not see any bees today... thank goodness

thanks to the CO for this cache

Spotted it while walking up!

Where is the hive?

found this one really easy TFTC

I am amazed it is still here considering where it is located Tftc

Found it nicely
TFTC

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

there was no pen/pencil to sign the book

Found it

Nice find while on a walk with my dog

Nice cache. Found with my daughter.

Was on the way to Torquay, just a quick stop. Great camo.

Found today on a pleasant Sunday cache run, to pick up a few smilies that we didn't have. Grabbed this one quickly, signed the log and rehid. TFTC

Easy find on a sunny last day of winter!
Maybe put the log book in a ziplock bag to keep it dry on the future
Good first cache, thanks

I have found this cache. A few weeks ago now, with my sister, I probably had a cool story to go with it at the time but instead I saved it in my found list and now I forget everything. No more of that from now on. Thanks anyway! =]

#403 for us and the one that gives us souvenir 19/31 in the 31 days thingy.

I needed a quick find tonight, running late and in the rain, after I was foiled by muggles at the other couple I had on my list for today's cache.

As I approached, I noticed a canine muggle and his companion sheltering under the ti-trees along the main road. As I slowed though, he took off and I scooted around the corner to park. I quickly made my way to GZ, where a short hunt had he container in hand.

The log was signed and the cache rehidden as the rain decided it was time to get serious, which accelerated my return trip to the car.

In the dark, cold, wind and rain, the bees were far more sensible than I and they all stayed indoors. But I got my smiley for the day ! Very nice hide and well spotted for a first cache.

Thanks MrTreeMC for the cache, the smiley, the souvenir and the wet clothes

Will email a couple of ideas.

Good hide loved the walk

Was geocaching in the area thought I'd set this butterfly free. And so the journey begins! Hoping someone will come along and move him north soon.

A quick find today for the start of our geocaching afternoon with the kids - TFTC!

Quick find. Tftc Found with brewtus1 xxox

Found with dribbles88 very easy find

Tftc

Added notepad.

A nice quick find for the kids after nearby band practice. Getting cold and almost dark, so not too many muggles about today. TFTC!

A quick find this afternoon with the coat in the car and the heavens just starting to open. Didn't see the bees either as I was too busy hobbling back to the car on a dodgy knee before the downpour commenced in earnest.
Thanks MrTreeMC!

A quick find here to earn the Get Outdoors day badge today with Suss Vulture.
Pity about the miserable weather.
TFTC

Found today with Team Indiana08. Being a cool and wet day, we did not find the beehive or any bee activity. We did, however, admire a nearby gum tree that has survived fire and appears to be thriving.

After a caching event dinner nearby, I needed to sign a GC logbook. So I headed out in the cold night to the closest one. Fortunately it was a quick drive-by, but I missed the bee hive.

Find #460 on day 84 with continuous cache finds.
TFTC, MrTreeMC.

17:45
This cache was placed while we were away, so tonight on our way to the nearby caching event in Belmont was a perfect opportunity to call in. We found the cache securely tucked in, there was no evidence of bees, maybe it was far too cold and dark.

FEEDBACK TO CO: For a first hide this is a great placement - very well done. Just wonder if you could be a bit more specific in the cache notes as to the actual location of the beehive i.e. actual direction from the cache.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt MrTreeMC.

Missed the hive, probably too cold for the bees anyway. Cache located quickly. Thanks MrTreeMC

Nice little quick cache and fun one after a couple of stressful searches on previous caches. Saturday night in Geelong can be a bit strange with drinking and a few crazys out. Didn't see the beehive, the colony must have moved on by now. Cache in great condition for all the wild wet weather we have been having. TFTC TNLN:)

Easy find. Nice caching night.

Nice find in the dark

A lovely afternoon for a walk with the furry geocacher. Glad to see this one still in play and with plenty of camo over the container.

#82 found today on the way home nice hide

Found @1536
Did this one while stretching our legs with geo puppy.
Took green gem, left bracelet.
SL Thanks For The Cache MrTreeMC

Great location, I'm sad that I don't have my dog here to join me to enjoy this park. Thanks

Nice easy find. Was a nice day to go get some caches so we did

Tftc

Suscoe was out and about this afternoon needing a cache find for our 366 grid.
So it was this cache's turn.
Having been here on the evening that this cache was released to the world, today's visit was much brighter, infact sunny. It was also much quieter as Suscoe was the only team here but it was still wet underfoot.
Cache was found, log dry and now signed by us and all rehidden.
Thanks to MrTreeMC for this cache.
We wonder where we will be tomorrow for our next grid day find!

Only just new too this, My partner and I found out about this Caching today and we were like this sounds like fun, we signed up and then went searching, this was our first find, in the rain, and in the dark and it was great fun, will definitely keep on searching more.

Sunday morning stroll to the shops with a quick stop off to locate and log this cache. Soooo close to home but still missed the FTF. TFTC

A nice find in a lovely park that is all too easy to drive past.
Thank you for bringing me here. Cheers

Published

*** Joint FTF with Vicfire ***

What a sight this was tonight!
We were just walking out from dinner when we checked the emails. We noticed that there was a cache published at almost the exact second we checked. Had we looked 30 seconds earlier we would not have been out for the hunt.

We were in Geelong West and thought that we might have a chance to get this one before heading to the second part of the birthday party. We jumped on the highway and barrelled through. We were stopped at the pedestrian crossing across from Kardinia Park. Seriously, who crosses at this time of night. Longest 20 seconds ever.
We saw the car on the side of the road and we knew that we may have been just beaten. Thanks to Vicfire for the joint FTF! Cheers!

Not 2 minutes later 2 other cars rock up! It was certainly a sight at this time of night!
7 Minutes from published to being found. Beats my last record of 9min!

Hopefully this cache lasts for a while, but in the long run it may need something a little more weather proof.
Well done on getting in on the game though!

Well the ageing Bushfire was too slow tonight and could not even get the first log spot.
You asked for comment so I would always advise cachers to find more caches before starting to hide as this may not last because of its location. The bark will alert children,adults and dogs to investigate. I think the dogs will be the first to locate it as they can smell anything that is different.
A better option may have been to hang a small bison or similar up in the tree.
Well done on your first hide and hope to meet up sometime.

Joint FTF with Team PacketStorm 7:50pm! on the road in no time.
not far from home , at GZ when Team Parketstorm rolls up .
Log in when more car turn up
Thanks for race .

Off goes the phone, with the newly configured system, down with the cutlery and out the door. Says Jinky, I think this is no standing, John says just behind that parked car! Of course they were cachers too, and we shouldn't have been there, but we weren't there for long. Cheers to you all, we'll be faster next time. Left geonickel, TN, SL TFTC!

Suscoe enjoyed seeing the faces by torch light this evening.
It's amazing what people will do for a new container.
Well done to MrTreeMC for getting these folks moving so fast.
We will revisit when it is a lot quieter.
