I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- 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.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner

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 Subject), and assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

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.

This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore 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.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all geocachers.
The rule is; [red]if you can't fix it straight away then "Disable" it till you can[/red] - I have disabled it for you this time! [^]

[purple]Please respond to this situation by 29th November to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.[/purple]

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Needs to be checked looked high and low but nothing not even sure what it is I'm looking for ? Any hints

MasterIschi and Arthur and Dent went on another epic cache run. We collected 17 of 20 caches including a multi caches during our 20 km journey. We want to thank all cache owners: we had a great time out here.

I don't know how “climbing gear” needed and a terrain rating of 3 stars fit together …
I climbed up the tree without climbing gear and had a decent look for the cache but didn't find anything.

Second time here, and second time with no luck. Climbed as high as I could safely while avoiding the guy mowing the grass on the other end of the reserve. Checked all the branches within reach but no sign of a cache. Perhaps a clue? Thanks ELERT261419 anyway

Replaced the cache. ELERT will need to look after this one after I'm gone - hopefully it sticks around for a while!

Searched high and low but to no avail.

The bananas usually like trees for that is where they come from but this tree had no fun for us or team 80degrees.
Climbed high.
Climbed low.
And all to no avail.
With CJ on the move we hope that this one is inspired to be returned.
Will be put on the watch list just in case it is found.

Today we had arranged with the Bananas to visit our new abode for lunch and then follow up with some caching time. As we spent longer than we should on lunch and chat we decided that clearing out a few local ones would be the best option - some for them - some for us and some for both was the plan. This was one for all. This is the third cache the 80's have come to find in this little park but today those of us on the ground and those of us up high had no luck in spotting. Will have to try again another day.

While I acted the monkey the dear geo wife was firmly on the ground reading the recent logs and soon put her finger to this one. She signed the log and passed it to me and I hid it more to the original terrain rating. Thanks again ELERT261419 for the cache.

Finally found after two different DNFs over the last year or so. Today the coast was totally clear for an easy retrieval.

I was told by a few previous finders that I had better go and get this cache while it was still reachable by a person such as myself who is of relatively small stature and not too agile. [8)]

I had afternoon tea in Macleod with a friend and her father and had plenty of time to find a couple of caches on the way home. I parked at the end of Boger Rd closest to the cache and had a very short stroll to GZ. The co-ords were spot-on and as others had advised the cache was still at a lower terrain rating than when originally placed. [^] So I quickly retrieved the cache and signed the log at 4:50 pm. TNLN. I then put the cache back where I found it.

Thanks ELERT261419 for the interesting hide and for bringing me to this cute little urban park.

I think this was the quickest find of the day and thats a good thing! Signed the log and its back it goes for the next finder. Thanks ELERT261419.

This turned out to be a very quick find with abl973 discovering it straight away. A nice park with only one dog walking muggle wandering through as we signed the log. Thanks for the cache.

Found this one today. I had heard that this was a bit easier at present so came to collect it today. There was a dog exercising muggle who I had to talk to - to distract them from what I was doing. Signed log.

Thanks for the cache ELERT261419.

Given the earlier logs (and the ratings) I think this cache is meant to be much higher off the ground, however at the moment neither foot has to become airborne to grab it. signed at 2:15pm after lunch with former workmates.
thanks ELERT261419 & CJ

Taken a couple of attempts walking the dog through the area before it was clear of others to look.

Nice and tricky, thought it was higher in the tree XD

Found after a good search.

TFTC

Thought this was going to be higher than it was, so not sure whether the cache is meant to be.
Anyhow, was a relatively quick find in a p!ayground that was deserted.
TFTC

It took a while to find but eventually the find was made and the log signed. Something in the description makes us think that this might be in the wrong place but we put it back where we found it and concealed it again. TFTC.

With a couple of this morning's objectives now out of the way, I thought I'd stop by here to have a look for this one. Once the GPSr finally settled down on one particular POI, I spotted the little fella at 06:35 much lower than I expected - no need for the 'device' this time.

TNLNSL, although a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks ELERT261419 Cj-curry.

Found at last at 4:55pm , I would not have found this in the dark, low enough for me to reach, (187cm), gps took me to middle of 3 trees, after finding a snail and going AHA nice hide , it was real snail in the wrong tree. TFTC )

Some nice shade on a hot day

Went to get this at night, however about 4 kids lurking around GZ, which I only noticed when walking toward them, a quick about face must have them wondering exactly what I was doing with torch and gps in hand .

Trevor, Jess and Tanya found the clue. With Trev helping by lifting Jess to a good height.

Bit of a climb

Found this afternoon with Kirstmac after having attended a nearby event at Watsonia library, headed over to this one, kirsten was hoisted and made a quick find once up however cache was not as high as we expected, maybe it has suffered from cache creep, the cache was put back as found, tftc.

Found on Christmas day with Claudia Who had to get on my shoulders to find the cache. Nice hide!!!

CNL - Could Not Look! Hence this is a note, not a DNF, as some people are wont to do when they haven't even looked..
I parked near GZ only to see a muggle lying under a nearby tree. I thought that I may still have a shot only to see another muggle under THE tree!

Next time.

Found while out caching on a beautiful day with Linearzz. TFTC

This was another cache that we had marked as a suitable candidate for our elevator technology. Success at 6:50pm although the site seemed to be competing with other throwaway items (cigarette lighters, etc). TFTC

Found 12:15, after a brief search.

TNLN, thanks ELERT261419.

A gentle stroll across the park for a quick retrieve with echidna44. TFTC ELERT261419

Decided to take a look at this cache with au.fait to see if we could manage it.
To our surprise it was a quick find, with no need of assistance. Later we read the logs and realised why. Thanks ELERT261419

In what I guess is its new location. The log book is a bit damp/fragile. Tftc.

Tftc...didn't need to climb the tree as it has obviously been put back on a different position. It is still in a good well hidden location, so we put where we found it.

Took a little detour from dropping off paperwork at uni and made a quick find TFTC

See log below. Cache not in correct location.

Decided to have a go at this one after work. The description indicated it was off the ground but I was not sure how far. When I got to Gz to my surprise I found the cache lying on the ground exposed at the base of the tree. I replaced the cache in the tree but not in the original location. Thanks ELERT261419. You may want to replace it in a location matching the difficulty and terrain.

TFTC!

Way up high! TFTC!

No pen but its in my hand

Found it but had no pen

Found this after walking around the tree several times like a fool. Got a few strange looks, but all in good fun. I guess not many people see an old man scaling a tree. LOL

I was a bit concerned by the recent DNFs, but from the ground level I was able to spot the silver bison after 5 minutes of circling. The climb was OK with enough foot holds and branches.

Managed to get myself up the tree despite a torn calf muscle, but after spending 10 minutes on every conceivable branch I could reach, had to give up and climb down.
Thanks anyway Elert

After a false start on Thurs, returned today with reinforcments, and surety of council dudes being gone.

They have left a mess but even a spare log didnt help a find even though it assisted the ascent.

Might bring the youngster back for another go sometime

Was attending a session at the neighborhood house and went to make a grab afterwards.
Coúncil tree loppers were hard at work ( not at GZ tho) so couldn't be discrete.
Was sure I found one here last year but must be archived. Was a munzee at the old GZ.

Another time and might have to bring a friend

Thanks for a nice cache. Found this one after quite a bit of climbing around. The hardest part was getting up into the tree. Got a couple of scraps on my arms but all good. Thanks PIPPAESP

As always, another fantastic night caching with the The Demolition Crew. Tonights run saw us heading in a northerly direction. A few puzzles found, and some cold weather, including a bit of rain, but it did not deter us. Great to be back in action after a little break with Rebel overseas. Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their hides.
---------------------------------------------------------------
No trouble on this one for the TDC boys. TFTC.

Found on a TDC run, lots of laughs and good times had while out finding caches, I had been away in England so it was good to be back out with my caching mates finding some plastic. The weather was a bit chilly and wet but you have to expect that this time of year. No troule on this one. Thanks ELERT261419 for the cache.

Found this cache during a TDC Monday night cache run.
The Demolition Crew (TDC) headed out tonight for a north eastern cache run. As usual fun was had by all of us with plenty of laughs and good variety of multi, puzzle, trads and also an earth cache found. We did plenty of walking and drving and even some tree climbing. We were lucky only to get caught in the rain on a couple of occasions and as I headed home after the night was over it was pelting down so it seems we finished just in time.
Thanks to all the CO's who placed and maintain the caches found.

Another great night out with The Demolition Crew saw us moving north. After a short break while Eric was in the UK, it was back to it tonight with a few puzzles to find. The weather was cold, and occasionally wet, but great fun was had by all. Thanks to all the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches. Time for Eric to earn his keep so once it was spoted he was up. Job done.

Probably not the best cashe to choose for our first one ever. We were pretty sure where it was, but despite sending my daughter up the tree a little way, we couldn't find it. Oh well, the kids had a great time on the playground!

FTF @ 9:05 pm.

That was quite a climb!

I didn't know if it was my lack of tree climbing fitness or the high winds and dark conditions that were going to be my undoing. Neither as it turned out but my heart was in my mouth when I reached into my pocket for the pen and came up empty . "Whew, wrong pocket"

I know this park intimately having brought the kids here to play for ages. I even owned a cache in this small park for a few years.

Cheers ELERT261419, thanks for bringing me back.
