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 or an indication as to when this might take place

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 Cache Owner,

It looks like this cache might need some attention from you, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue with the placement. It is being temporarily disabled to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed, as well as to remove it from search listings.

Please note that CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't always just pop out and fix the issue. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame.

#What should you do:-#
- Should the regional Health and Victorian Government requirements allow it **AND** you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, please feel free to do so. Don't forget to log an 'Owner Maintenance ' log and also Enable the cache once the issue is fixed.

- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

#Please Note#
When the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

Thanks for you cooperation,

Bunjil

If this is the cache there is no cache inside

Too many muggles sadly

Found it, got confused as there was no log

Found - no log book.
Coordinates accurate.
Had to use a tool to get to it (I went with a key)
TFTC

Thanks.

Pretty sure I found it based on pics

Found it based off of other’s pics. No log there today

Found it but paper is missing

Missing log sheet

No paper, didn't know this was a cache except for past photos of it. Bit of a disappointing find.

Need along sheet but a good find based on photos people took

Found the cache minus a log sheet so placed a sm piece paper ins i Dr with m y log on. Owner needs to do maintenance

Owner needs to check this cache. Placed a sm piece paper in but original missing. No log sheet in this cache since March by previous logs

very strange

According to the previous photos I found it But no log inside?

There is no paper inside, very easy to find

Previously found, just logging on a new account

Great cache... couldn't find the log book though... nice park too..

Aristocats

Clever cache indeed and not what I would have guessed! Well done! Luckily I had the better half with me and he clicked on very quickly and made the find!

Very clever

Found it with AncientMcGill and BethanyKrince!

Day 4 and the final one of a dedicated geo-weekend away with Kestal and Scratches...after a massive few days of caching we hit a few caches that were of interest for varying reasons before heading to the airport. We scored a carpark directly across the road from the park...the parking gods were sure with us today...quite amazing the convenient parks we snagged today. A sneaky hide that thankfully didn't take too long to find. Signed E5/K/S to save space

Next one on the list for Eskies5, Scratches and myself this morning. Again with a great spot to park in we ducked across the road and into the park to start our search. Scratches was all over this one and we soon had our names in the log. TFTC skakids

Luckily there weren't too many muggles around as we searched for this one, finally coming up with the prize.

TFTC

THANK YOU.
IT WAS A LITTLE HARD AT THE START BUT REAL FUN.
GOOD SPOT!!!

Our first find! Lots of fun so far

Mum spotted it but I was like that ain’t it turned out it was cause it dosent have the capsule anymore

I'm not sure was it a cache but signed it anyway

Had lots of trouble but we found it eventually I think?

Found the screwing motion, not sure if there was meant to be a container though.

Found it was really cool. Did not change had no pen

Found it thanks to a sneaky photo in the comments! (GPS was off!)

God bless the geocaching community, and i'm back for a quick log sign.
Really should have thought to do that myself.
Cheers skakids for another cache in a great little park.

No container or cache To be found. Looking at previous pics it seems the cache is gone. We replaced it. Happy Geocaching!

Unless the hides been changed, there is no log.
This cache has the most confusing found it activity.
The CO or someone who watches this cache should check it out.

Pretty sure I found the cache (according to an older activity photo) - wicked spot! Retrieved the cover with a tool, but couldn't access the log. It looks like the log container has come apart from the cover, and it's very secure, to the point that it can't be removed.

A good cache! Sneaky too! Really hard to retrieve!

Pretty sure this could d with a new log.

I'll keep an eye out and return once replaced.

TFTC

Think we found hiding spot but no actual cache.

Pretty sure we found the spot. Clever hide, but as expected due to actuvity logs, no scroll. Tftc anyway skakids.

Despite action by a good Samaritan giggida, it would seem the cache owner is either unwilling or unable to maintain this cache.

Apart from physically looking after a cache, cache maintenance also covers keeping the cache page up-to-date. This includes updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, removing needs maintenance attributes and enabling the listing.

As advised in the Guidelines;
>Cache owners who do not maintain their existing caches in a timely manner may temporarily or permanently lose the right to list new caches on Geocaching.com.

This applies to maintenance of the cache page just as much as it does the physical cache.

By rights the cache should be de-listed (Archived), however, I am cognizant of the assistance provided by giggida. As a result, on this occasion I have assisted the CO by enabling the cache and removing the NM attribute.

###Please remember that failure to keep the cache page up to date (as well as maintain the physical cache) can result in the cache being de-listed.###

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.

Check out the Guiodelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**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.

In the area for an appointment with time to kill and took the opportunity to turn this frown upside down. I found a nano log-scroll hidden in a slightly unusual way, so I hope it was the right one...

All good at GZ. Great park for the kids. TFTC

Great cache. Very clever

Thanks for the nano long - nice hide TFTC

Could not find it

Difficult to find. Barking up the wrong tree.

Very hard

What a great camo! I had a spare nano log on me so popped that in. Take care though as it might drop out easily. TFTC

Tftc sl beautiful day but no room to log, needs more paper , let me know if this pic doesnt suffice , tia

A very cheeky hide.

Need fresh paper for the log.

Nice hide. TFTC. Needs a new log

Trying to be sneaky but was a little hard, I don't think anyone suspected anything though. Log book definitely full!

Hit the road early this morning. We tried yesterday but left it too late and got caught up in the traffic due to the trains being out of action. So this one was our 1st one, waited for a few early risers to drift past in this lovely park then began the hunt, we initially walked straight up to the spot, then walked away only to come back to it.
Husband seems to have a knack of getting it right and indeed with this one he did. A great hide, well thought out. Thank you for the hunt.

After taking time to settle the cleverly hidden cache was in our hands. TFTC TAD

I forgot to mention that the log is very full. We managed to fit our name on, but it was very tight. Will require replacement.

My last for the day and the one that would give the final souvenir for the 'Carniavl'. It was very busy nearby, but the Muggles had other things on mind, so all was well. I have looked at this cover many times, considering a hide of my own and was lucky today to spot it fairly quickly.

Thanks for the cache, skakids...and all for you did for me today, collecting the final Carnival Souvenir.

Sneaky hide, definitely needed a tool (we used a key). Tftc.

Found this a while ago; but logging it now.
I was in Melbourne for an event during the week, so sought out a few caches around the town. No hint, grrrr, but all good. Thanks for the information too.
TFTH

There seems to be a Pokémon Go thing going on today, as there were a lot of people stopping pretty much at gz and staring at their phones. One lady had three phones going at one time, all connected to portable chargers. On the upside, it meant that I wasn’t the only weird adult at the park. I’d taken my leatherman out of my car yesterday for something else., and annoyingly hadn’t put it back. So I ended up constructing a tool to get the cache out. Thanks for the amazing hide and giving it some intrigue by not providing a hint!

Out doing some post Grand Prix caching. TFTC

Ah that looks like it is loose

Great cache. First cache that iv found in Melbourne. Lots of muggles around but got it. Thanks for the cache.

Easy spot but took a little time to extract

Found it quickly but was hard to get out.
Good hiding spot

Ted,Zara and Niki.

I looked in the exact spot the cache was hidden a few times before working out its camouflage. Very well hidden. Found with Pmk49. Tftc!

A very well hidden cache.
It took us a while to find.
The log is full, so I took a photo to prove we found it.
With cmkoe3.
Thanks for the cache.

Out caching with jascat, icehockeychick and Geo_Seek.
Nice hiding spot.

*2 Jan 2019, Found @9:50 am, Find # 2348.*

Out caching with OzHockeyChick, Geo_Seek and sezzy2683 working our way through the quest series. A little tricky, but for a trained eye not to difficult.

**Thanks to skakids for placing this cache.**

Found with a lovely group of ladies I just met for a geocaching trail tricky hide

Having afternoon tea at a friend's house nearby, and all the kids started to get a bit boisterous. So off we went to the nearby playground. While I was there, fired up the app, and saw there was one within a stone's throw! So wandered over to it, quickly dismissed all likely hides, narrowed it down to one spot, and after a little bit of perseverance, discovered the well camo'd hide. My mates were amazed, I smiled smugly, having seen plenty of similar hides, though none exactly like this, well done!
Signed log in any scrap still available, and replaced carefully. Thanks for the cache!

Very well done. Found our first cache.

Well hidden but quite easy

Our first day to cache in st.Kilda, we did a good lap and two not found. greetings from team Sylmarke from the Netherlands.

Found..I think

First find! Thanks skakids

Nice sneaky one

Sneaky little blighters. Nice hide. Tftc

Really really tricky find. Took us several tries before eventually finding it. Log was there and almost full. Tftc!

My Garmin took me to a post. No reflector or similar, so I checked cracks. There was a round metal object, but I couldn't remove it. I expanded the search, but no luck. There is a sign of where another round object used to be.

Found but there was no log to sign

Very clever
Thanks to a previous log found it

Found

Tftc

Been tampered with

After success with Quest 9 nearby, I strolled down to Quest 7, expecting it to be much more difficult. Which it was. I had read the activity logs and gathered the clues, and thought I knew where to look... but there were too many kids and parents in the nearby playground for us to search for too long. After a cursory look with no joy, I resolved to stop loitering and come back at a quieter time.

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....I had checked the logs last night so had am idea what I was looking for. Tftc

Really hard find, always love aka kids caches tho, tftc

Kinda hard took us a while but really fun

This Geocache took me and my friends two goes to find, nice hiding spot Skakids very camouflaged.

GPS was all over the place but clues in some comments. TFTC Watch out for swooping birds!!

Found it. Very small

Found it. It’s tiny!
