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. 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.

###**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 Guidelines 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.

DNF : (
 
Logbook full
 
Found after a brief search. As the logbook was full, I took a pic of the log instead. TFTC
 
19-May-19
Rocking Robin was our first find, took us a little while but got there in the end.
 
19-Apr-19
Seriously over-thought this, as dad reckoned he knew what the hint meant.

Eventually reverted to a past photo and quickly made a very different find.

Tftc
 
13-Apr-19
Didn’t take us long to spot this one. Very sneaky!
 
29-Mar-19
Mrs Papi was on an Oxfam support crew so had the opportunity to collect some smiles as she went. Even though it rained, we managed to keep fairly dry which is more than can be said for those participating. We very nearly missed this one. Thanks to all the CO's for making the waiting more enjoyable.

Mrs Papi4506, beckNmonts and I wandered around in circles for quite a while here, until it was spotted. How did we not see that earlier?
Cheers Belleakelea
 
29-Mar-19
We looked for a short while here before looking at the right place and finding the cache. Thanks so much for placing this cache Belleakelea
 
10-Mar-19
Attempted to write in the log, but there is really no room left even for a date. I spotted it as day1976 was crashing though the bush ahead of me, as I read the hint and turned around and spotted it straight away.
 
10-Mar-19
I have no idea how ilukaperi made this find so easily.
But find she did, very very quickly. Suspiciously quickly.

Log book was full so we wrote our name on the side of the paper where there was more room.


 
16-Feb-19
Found it! Whoops! Forgot to post my log! Sorry about that! TFTC SL
 
28-Jan-19
We decided to visit the Bush Park to see what it was like. After wandering around a little bit we still weren't overly sure what to make of the area. As we happened to be passing this cache, I stopped for a quick look and was delighted to find it pretty quickly. The log is full but I was able to scribble my initials in a small space left by previous finders. TFTC

30-Dec-18
Found it! Thanks for the clues - tough one to find
 
07-Dec-18
I came here after DNFs at Barking Bridge and Water & Wine, and for a while I thought this might make a trifecta. In my favour I had past photos and logs that could guide me better than the app, and the heat meant there were no muggles around to wonder what the hell I was doing. Eventually my feeble eyes spied the prize, and the full log was signed in teeny tiny letters next to Riddell. Thanks Belleakelea
 
22-Sep-18
SO small! Can be easily missed. So much fun
 
14-Sep-18
A nice quick and easy find on the way home.
TFTC
 
12-Aug-18
This certainly is a tiny little container sitting out by itself here. This is a lovely section and a part of the area that I had not explored before. The log is full, so l had to sign where it says replacement log and took a photo just in case.
Thanks to Belleakelea for placing this cache.
 
17-Jun-18
We found it
 
10-Jun-18
Thanks Rockin Robin... so small... good hiding!
 
10-Jun-18
So much fun finding this teeny Bird with RrooandHtoo! #reallyhardfind
 
27-May-18
This was much harder to find without the Robin. I had to dig through a few logs and then found the smoking gun. This is a lovely park I will have to come back here again. Thanks!
 
03-May-18
I like how there’s a chair there so you can sit down and write about it
Ps it needs a new log had to fined a spot on it
 
26-Apr-18
So frustrating!
 
06-Apr-18
Found it. Very hard to find.
 
11-Mar-18
found today, great little spot,

Thanks Belleakelea for the GC
 
03-Feb-18
Particularly satisfying find today. Made a quick attempt the previous day before picking up the kids from school. Only had about 10 minutes and didn't find it. On the way back to the car I realized I had lost my expensive sunglasses from on top of my cap whilst trampling through the brush . Had another shot today, passed a resting kangaroo near the GZ, found my sunglasses a few minutes later and and then found the cache not long after that! Much happier now.
 
13-Jan-18
Took a while to find due to dodgy GSP on phone. We weren't going to give up though and it was found eventually by my junior geocacher
 
30-Jul-17
Found @10:58 #6273
Out on a cache run with ahomburg and what a sunny morning. Wow this took awhile to spot was staring at us the whole time. Looks like Robin as flown north for winter.

Find #8725

Out and about with my regular caching partner sedgwickDave searching out some localish unfound caches.

This one took us way longer than it should have with 2 of us, 20 minutes spent searching for an item staring us in the face.

Many thanks to Belleakelea for the cache. TNLN.

02-May-17
With today being the day of the Big Blue Switch I was keen to find one to celebrate this day. Unfortunately I was looking at a really long day ahead of me and wasn't sure when I would get a chance to sign a flourishing version of The AdventureNauts. Also unfortunately I was going to be tied up with work at a venue near this location. Fortunately the CO had the fortitude to have this cache placed here. With about 20 mins to spare at lunch I dashed to claim the log and claim the souvenir. Robin wasn't rocking today but the cache was. Easily found, accessed and logged. It did leave me with one question; why is it always easier to leave ground zero rather than get to it?

With 3 million geocaches on the planet, we've chosen yours to find. You should be thanking us for the find!

Been waiting for a day off to start my geocache journey ! Found it, very small! Came through the wrong path so had to do some bush bashing to get there (although there was no real need for that !) cool cache ! Don't use the spoilers unless you absolutely have to !!

Robin is gone, new clue silver canister

Very small and the bird is missing

A good find on a wet day. Needed to get out of the house.

Here in the company of quiet1_au. The coords were a little out, but cache was found. TFTC
 
11-Mar-17
Although lochb and I decided we didn't want to do too much walking on this hot and humid afternoon I wasn't sure about the parking options up the dirt track so decided to park off the main road instead. It didn't look too far to walk in... I was wrong... but it wasn't toooo bad and gave an opportunity to get another cache nearby too. I was trying not to find this one - after lochb dominated the find on our previous outing, it seemed it was my turn to today - but oops I spotted this one almost immediately (sorry B!). Sometimes your eye lock on to these sorts of caches, sometime you just looks past and through them. Log signed, cache rehidden we headed back down the dusty road again.
 
13-Feb-17
Bird is missing and no muggles
 
13-Feb-17
Bird's missing. Thanks though!
 
13-Feb-17
Bird was missing, but luckily we found it!

This was really hard, I was on the wrong track because I misinterpreted the hint, found it after reading through the logs. Tftc

Blink and you'll miss it

Nice place!
 
19-Jul-16
First one!!! That was unexpectedly pretty damn cool. Off to find the next one.
 
13-Jun-16
Out on a lovely sunny Melbourne winters day for a walk and to do a couple of caches. After not being able to find 4 previous caches due to high Muggle activity, this was a relatively quick easy find. Great little cache and no Muggles here. TFTC and bringing us to this area.

Found whilst i was out getting the others across the river. Thanks for bringing to this little bushland.

Once at gz i went straight past it circled around and then spotted it easily enough.
TFTC!

1st geocache ever. The kids had a lot of fun finding this one.
 
29-Dec-15
found the very well disguised and creative cache after walking through the bush.... thanks!!!

Great hiding spot. Came on a walk for my mums birthday looked up and found a small container. Opened it and found a cache log.

Couldn't find a path but found the cache eventually

Found with maaddii.otoole, had to park across the road and walk in as total fire ban had the park closed, TFTC
 
08-Nov-15
The kids had a tennis match at the Currawong tennis courts so I took my bike up there and arranged that I would cycle back home, obviously with some caching on the way.
Why are caches always uphill when I am on the bike. After a low gear ride to the GZ I had a fair idea what I was looking for. The GPSr kept taking me to a particular spot but after 5 minutes of looking I expanded the search area. Within a couple of minutes I was signing the log. TFTC.
 
03-Oct-15
I've been wanting to visit this cache because of its wonderful name. I was the first to add an entry in the new log. Thank you for the imaginative cache. A favourite for me Big Grin

My sons were playing hockey at the nearby hockey club so I decide to wander over to the closest cache.
I am not sure if I took the correct route to get to the cache as I did a bit of (gentle) bush bashing. Once at GZ I seated myself down on the provided seat and enjoyed the quietness (punctuated by umpiring whistles) until I sighted the cache. I have seen a similar one close to where I live but it was still great to find this one in such a lovely piece of native bush. Unfortunately I didn't see any wildlife on my visit (apart from a few common birds)
 
08-Aug-15
Scared off a lazy kangaroo just near this cache spot. I had to search for 5 minutes before the container caught my eye.
 
02-Aug-15
What a beautiful spot for my first find for today. It was lovely to sit and sign the log and listen to the sounds of the birds. Only room for one more signature. TFTC
 
30-Jul-15
Out on a caching run this morning to reach my 1000th find. Though this cache wasn't the big one, it brought me one find closer. When I saw this cache with my name, knew I had to find this one. A very cute cache! Loved the "Robin"! Well done. Scribbled my name on the logbook and replaced. Fav point for sheer cuteness.

TFTC!
 
26-Jul-15
Found it. Good one

Nice hanging robin!!

On the way to Nunawading Library to grab a few books (came back with more than I intended) I decided to grab a cache with more than ten favourite points for the Geoacaching Road trip '15. It took me a while longer than I thought it would because I was looking in the wrong place. Checked the hint and misinterpreted it, meaning I spent even longer looking in the wrong place. Finally switched to the right perspective and found it very quickly after that.

TNLN (obviously). TFTC.

Out for a lunchtime walk to stretch the legs and get some fresh air and a another cache.
Quick find, neat camo.

Well this cache cheered me up after an awful afternoon. It started off OK when I had lunch with a friend but then I had to wait a few hours for somebody to phone me, found a water-logged cache and then stood in some dog droppings. Sad

I parked in the reserve's carpark and had a lovely stroll to GZ. I could hear the birds chirping as I hummed the tune of the cache title....not that any youngsters probably remember the hit song that was covered by lots of people, including Michael Jackson. After a brief search I found the very cute cache and signed the log at 5:20 pm. TNLN.

Thanks Belleakelea for the very creative hide and for getting me to to stop and have a squiz at this picturesque reserve that I have passed many times in the car. Loved the hide, the awesome location and the song, even though I now can't get it out of my head, so this cache gets a fave from me too. Big Grin
 
20-May-15
Nice clue and hide. I came from the other side of melbourne to do caching in this park. Didn't get far as most of it is dog free. Sad
 
03-May-15
Attending a function at the nearby conference room, and it was only a short walk! Nicely done, and it looked as if it belonged there!
 
06-Apr-15
Very cute, nice little wander. Thanks
