Maverick Menagerie Princes Hill, Victoria, Australia

I've lost count in how many Throwdowns this cache has had in the last couple of months. It's has almost reached the point that it is not just "BYO pen" but also "BYO container".

A replacement cache for the original was promised back in July and nothing has appeared after 8 months.

The present cache and cache page no longer reflect the original placement.

It would seem the CO has abandoned the cache. As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

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

Found it however you will need to bring your own pen

Lots of muggles, but made a friend

With a bunch of other cachers we decided to grab this cache and found it to be non existent.
Fully prepared to count it as a dnf when another cacher brought over a new hide that they were throwing down and I hesitated on whether to sign the log or not. Signing throw downs to me is wrong but as it turned out the CO was aware so that made me feel okay to do so. Thanks for the cache.

We looked and looked and then we were provided with the replacement.

Lovely day for the search.

Search for this one for awhile then got a bit of a heads up from The_Tritonz and found it . TFTC .

With an event just around the corner this cache was searched for and not found by some of the best, we were all found lacking today. We were though saved by the quick thinking of The_Tritonz who messaged the CO who then suggested we replace the cache. Signed by many and replace with loving care.
**Thanks for placing this cache CJ-Curry**

YAPIDNA, but it was great to visit this park on a lovely afternoon. And the Anvil Angus BBQ we had going made the park visit even better.
This cache had previously been MIA, but during an event nearby TheTritonz liaised with the CO and a replacement was made available.
I headed to GZ and gathered where the cache originally was, as several volunteers nearby cleaned up the gardens around the area. All good to go again.
Thanks, CJ-Curry (and Tritonz).

Found while attending a nearby event and dodging muggles. Thanks CJ-Curry.

Arrived for the nearby event and decided to grab this whilst waiting. Started searching but with no luck, given the nearby event was geocaching others soon showed up but together we still could not finding it. Returning to the event I made mention of the absent cache and suddenly the replacement was to hand. TFTC CJ-Curry.

A replacement was placed after permission was granted by the CO. It is now a mint tin.

Found today while attending the nearby event. TFTC.

*27/02/2016, Found @ 8:19 PM, Find # 5125.*

As I was attending the Awards event very close by, I was able to sign the log on this one before heading for home.

**Thanks to *CJ-Curry* for placing this cache.**

Found by Mary & David at 1710. Found with the "Victorian Geocaching Adventure Festival" crew during the Event. Our thanks to CJ-Curry.

As we arrived in the carpark to attend a nearby event , we noticed many caching teams searching in the vicinity of GZ. After joining them on their quest we all came to the conclusion that this one had been muggled. We decided to contact the CO who we know to be a little bit too far at the moment to perform any maintenance and suggest we replace the container with a mint tin we happen to have in the geomobile! He was happy with that and the new container was put into place for everyone to sign.
Thanks CJ-Curry for the cache and the permission to keep this one alive.

We found this while attending a nearby event. We needed to be stealthy as there were many muggles. Thanks CJ- Curry.

On my way to the Geocaching Adventure Awards, there were already a couple of cachers searching when I arrived at GZ. Despite our searching (along with another two cachers that joined us), nothing could be found.

However, during the event, I found out that the Tritonz had contacted the CO and were replacing the cache, so before it was hidden, I managed to get my name on the log.

My thanks to CJ-Curry for the original placement and the Tritonz for the replacement.

Well, apparently the original cache was missing for todays event ( see http://coord.info/GC688P7 ), so, with the CO's approval the cache was replaced and log was signed by all the participants.
Thanks for the replacement cache.

I lucky to be able to add my name to the new log before being replaced then made my way to the nearby event.

Thanks for the cache CJ-Curry

while we are at event.
with whitepaws9 been searched everywhere later other come and join with us to look but still not there. later they asked me to sign the log as they have approved from CO
Thanks CJ-Curry

In good com. TNLN TFTC

Was a easy find in the hands of the replacer about to be replaced. Thanks for keeping this one going.

Not many muggles about and quickly replaced

Found easily enough, thank you

Nice and quiet, hidden out of sight. Thanks

Found this morning with very few muggles around, when the courts are being used in sure it is a different story.

Hope you get the original container back soon! Great little spot, careful though

Nice little hide. Thanks

Easy little find...

Found your temporary mint tin and SL at 9.24am we had a cute little animal to leave but it would not fit. Took the rather large Bambi in residence and continued on our way to Melbourne General Cemetery. #3275 TFTC CJ-Curry and hope you get a larger container in place soon!

Found this little guy on New Year's Eve. Beware of gnarly spider guarding location. Left a deer next to it that didn't fit in the tin.

Replaced temporarily

Replaced with a mint tin for the moment. The ideal cache should be up and running very soon. Sorry for the long delay!

Easy to find, kind of hard to get to.

Mint tin at base of tree for now. Updated better hide in production.

The container is ready.
The mechanism is being tested at present due to the reconfiguration of the tree.
Should be ready and tested very soon.

Still working on repair.
The coordinates are expected to be unchanged but due to tree maintenance a different system is now being tested before placement.

The bananas are fixing this up on behalf of the owner.
It is underway as the design needs a little alteration to suit the changed environment.
With a few weeks.
Thank you

Disabled for the moment

See other log, urgent maintenance required!! Will be emailing the CO tomorrow with photos.

Found with georocks101, TFTC

Found with Danr1289...the cache was shrewn everywhere, many pieces of the log and other contents lying all over the place. Very sad to say but this cache has been completely muggled. We tried to put it all back in the container and since it was in the open, we didnt know its original hiding spot. We hid it nearby in the bushes, will be messaging the CO tomorrow with photos of its exact location. Urgent maintenance needed!! Tftc

Was on ground. I'm not sure exactly where it is meant to go so guessedguessed.might need checking.

Geokid had fun with this one! We left a sabre tooth tiger to go along with the theme of this cache. Nice hide.

Good one

Alex, Ben and I, Ben, found this Cash, at first we struggled to find it. It is a about 50 metres east. Cash is re-hidden high, though in plain sight.

Tftc

Found left opened and unhidden. Will do our best to hide in same spot.

TFTC another quick find- 3rd for the day. Lucky it is a long weekend as no one is around

It's great thanks

Found with crazometer! going to drop trackable into another cache soon

Nice quick grab. Tftc

Whilst gathering clues for a multi , initiated this cache nearby, quick find , log book a bit messy though, it's just hundreds of pieces of paper , thanks

Another nice easy one.

Tftc. Going to give the trackable a new home.

Nice location and easy find.
Completed the log and replaced container as found.

Easy find tftc

Took a little to find as there where lots of muggles. Not too sure about the Fev card.

Easy find and a nice area!!

Too many muggles, kids birthday party nearby, I'll try another day

Found with Steve awhile ago )

Quick find. Area near cache was relatively deserted.
Dropped off a Carlton footy swap card....how appropriate, as I used to park around the area when attending games at Princess Park.

First time geo caching..fun and a little bit sneaky!

Schneller fund

Maintenance performed by Archie B1 & B2. Thanks so much!

Due to my busy email system, this has been disabled far too long. Back in play now

Disabled until I can get someone to have a look around the area, which shouldn't be too long.

I found this cache this evening lying in the open. I grab the TB from it and placed it back against the tree under a lot of mulch and other leaf litter. It will need some TLC.

Sorry to say but i found this cache lying in the open at the base of the tree. It looks like there have been some works done to the tree and its hide has been completely destroyed. I have hidden it back at the base of the tree but i recommend it gets picked up and replaced. As it wont last there. I also grabbed the TB that was in it so we don't loose it.

Easy as! Thanks dude!

Fairly sure that another geocacher was leaving just as I got there... and then a guy across the road was very intent on what I was doing, but I think I managed to retrieve it without his seeing. Aside from that, nice and easy. Thanks!

Our first Geo cache! Very cool!!! I have a feeling this is going to be a fantastic family activity. 1/03/2015 11:58 am Find #1

Another nice quick one, stopped by on way home from the Sydney road festival

Great hide fast find well done

Went for a walk and found this...

After doing a nearby fun run my GeoTeenager had energy left so off we went for a cache. She found it and did the extraction leaving me the easy job of signing the log. Thanks CJ- Curry for the cache.

SRCS was here

Done

Found it great fun in the dark.....Might need a new paint job soon

Walked around about 5 times before I finally spotted it. Nice hide!

Yay

Tadaaaa!

Found our first geocache !

An easy find with Pinewater on Australia Day. TFTC!

Australia Day find with Hellerphant. Could use a log book. Quick and easy, TFTC!

Lucky no 6

the bright lid gave it away tftc

The top gave it away... TFTC

Nice hiding place and good location. Not that hard to extract

Found this one today on a night caching adventure for a NZ challenge cache. It took a while as my gps was not working properly. When I got to the right location it was a quick find. Signed log today.

Thanks for the cache CJ-Curry.

Found it

2/10 for the night!! Guessing the last finder didn't put it back in the 'tricky' spot to get it out of... So we made it a little more concealed TFTC

Jep easy found nice bocce court Tftc

Tftc, beautiful night to be out caching.

Tftc

Found with Spiffy. I think I was expecting something harder. Good to get a friends cache. I hope you're enjoying NZ. Tftc

Out for an after work cache run until dark with sharkiefan today. Picked up a few multis and mostly trads and surprisingly considering it was Friday arvo the traffic was pretty good and we managed to find parking exactly where we wanted to on all but one cache. With phones loaded with searches avoiding each others finds we set off.
Arrived at GZ and started searching and searching and then there it was right in front of me.
Thanks CJ-Curry for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Great hides hole.

Cheers
