Unfortunately, as there has not been a response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, or provide regular updates, the cache is being de-listed on the basis that it has been abandoned by the Cache Owner.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [**Unarchive a geocache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

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

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](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.

We found where it was supposed to be, but only the lid. Don’t come because there isn’t anything other than the lid. Please come fix.

-Log adjusted by Reviewer-

Found the lid of the cache however the change itself appears to be have disturbed and is no longer there. We definitely found the coloured I. Cache lid but nothing else.
Looks like it needs to be reset.

-Log adjusted by Reviewer-

Find 2012
Like previous cacher we located the black painted lid from the container in the spot given by the hint. I am logging this as a find as I am confident of the location. Took a pic of the lid as evidence.
CO will need to give this some attention though.

-Log adjusted by Reviewer-

Needs a check by CO- we only discovered the lid.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

I found what everyone else has found lately. Great spot to hide a cache all the same.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

I found the lid a few metres from the obvious GZ.
Replaced under.
The rest of the container and log book were nowhere to be seen.
Needs maintenance.

I found the lid. This one is in need of some care...

Checked a few spots near-by related to the clue, no cache to be found.

Did find a lid of a container, I'd say this one is gone

We were just about to start our search when the gentleman living across from GZ called out to us. He told us that it was just an empty tupperware, but he was certain it was still there. As we had been spotted, we were not keen to continue our search. Reading the last few logs, I suspect the cache is gone. Thanks anyway Cookie_Monster.

No container found by us today!

Melbourne Day 4: Sandringham and Brighton

Nice sunny day today, so I took the train down to Cheltenham and cycled my way to the beach, picking up whatever caches that I encounter along the way. Very nice and big caches along the way here, which made the hunt very pleasant and enjoyable throughout. I am looking out particularly for the Archibald caches which I have solved beforehand and a few nice multis along the beach. Very scenic views and good fun all round! Thanks for all the caches!

The following is the specific log for each cache:
It’s rather brave to hide a cache right under the sidewalk. The cache was there but it was empty and has no logsheet within. Oh well... TFTC!

This one is empty....
Found it relatively easily, but it’s an empty container.
Needs new log.

Found but no log....
Maintenance required.

Empty Beautiful location though.

Cache was exposed and is empty. Found approx 15m from GZ. Needs attention.

It’s been destroyed

#1468 Have been eyeing this one off for ages, keeping it up my sleeve for a day when I need a P366 blank filled. (Of course there are still a few of them, 59 after I log this) I was concerned it would get muggled before I got to it so when another planned find fell through due to lack of light I detoured with geo-pup to this one. TNLNSL then pup and I were back off up the road, she was rather happy getting an unplanned extended walk. TFTC Cookie_Monster.

Nifty! Thanks for the cache

It was a pleasure in doing this one, as in my working life my nick name at times was cookie monster, so Thank you Cookie-Monster for your cache a quick find by amaali and I but a good one. Left a coin for the next finder
Greytiger

A quick find By Greytiger and I,log signed and the cache replaced. We are having a ball TFTC.

Super easy fun find while we waited for a soccer game to start. Tftc

Found it! Great little one

There was some sport going on so we wondered how hard this was going to be. It ended up as an easy stop and grab. Nice and interesting hide spot. Cheers,

Today was a long day of caching in and around Black Rock and Beaumaris. We still needed about 70 caches to complete our hidden creatures series before time runs out. Fantastic area that we have never really explored before.

Our second with number 2 grandchild.
Thanks for cache.

Good hide. Out in the open

I really am getting good at this... lol. Easy find. SL TFTC!

Nice easy find

In Melbourne today for a meeting so with time to spare I set about picking up a few caches in unfamiliar territory! A nice quick find here. Many thanks for the cache.

Running some errands around the area this morning, it was time for Ana the geodog and I to grab a few caches. Was able to park very close to this cache, and so I decided much to Ana's disgust, to check this one out alone. All Ana could see was the large open grassed areas of this huge parkland. I had left the GPSr in the car which at first I thought would be ok, but with nothing obvious to find and very few hides, I was beginning to wonder. Then something caught my eye a bit further away, and sure enough, there it was. Snuggled in about the only spot a cache this size could be. With the log signed, I returned the cache as I found it but with a little more coverage to make it less conspicuous. TNLNSL. TFTC. KkAms

Found it

Good placement

Beautiful park. Great hide TFTC.

Although it was a short week, due to the public holiday on Monday, it still feels like an age since I was out and about on the bike.

When I woke up this morning I saw the blue sky and knew I had to get out so I loaded up the bike onto the rack and headed out to the Sandringham area. It seems that I am restricted as to where I go due to all the concurrent roadworks at present.

A quick find at the GZ. I had to add a log sheet. TFTC.

Great hide TFTC!

I knew I had a free day to cache coming up so started solving puzzles in the bay area ready for a frestyle assult. Today was time to collect them and I decided a bike adventure may be the easiest way for the majority. My endurance levels and enthusiasm don't align though and I spent most of ride thinking of were I could buy another drink and food. All up 43km ridden and 43 caches collected with 30 plus on the bike.

I spent a bit of time looking at thimgs I didnt need to then read the hint for a quick find. Thanks to Cookie__Monster for placing this cache.

Simple find considering the camo is wearing off. Luckily nearby works haven't affected the cache. TFTC

Didn't take the geobf macrors long to spot this one. Tftc!

Easy but tricky at the same time lol tftc!!

Yay found it good hide

james0116

Found with monica_is_evil and mrx. Caching with friends. TFTC

TFTC! Quick find on an evening caching

Found with monica_is_evil and Diablo1234

Found on a day out caching with OzHockeyChic. This one was a quick, easy find and we were soon on our way again. The spots ground was in use while we were there, but the players were far too busy with their game to take any notice of me. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Found after a little misguided searching. TFTC

This one turned out to be a surprisingly quick find...I like that. Thanks Cookie_Monster.

With lisyb. Birthday geo-ing

nice quick 1, sounded harder than it was. wit taz_6

Nicely hidden. Thanks!!

VERY clever hide!

Managed a quick find with this one as we passed by, literally...thanks Cookie Monster for the hide.

omegaman1971@ 3061
In the area for work, just enough time for a quick few.
Love a quick drive-by sometimes.
Cheers for the cache

Nice find

Missed it on my bike so I turned back around. Was not where I first expected it to be but noted the camo instantly. Log in good condition.

Between ends of soccer game. No trackables present. Who hasn't logged them ? First of 5 today. Had to take it away and return after finding the other 4 to slip this back when soccer went to the other end as some muggles stayed close to area after initially retrieving it. No ants today thanks Cookie_monster for maintaining cache.

Nice easy one

Saw it but there are muggies working right there so don't want to give it away. Will come back.

Found on a family walk
We enjoyed this one and were surprised how well it was hidden in plain view
Great job
Tftc

Found it! Love the hiding spot! TFTC.

Very cute hiding spot! TFTC

Found completely out in the open. I've tucked it back underneath

Found

Found it

Thanks TMJ for looking and reporting back.

Kids practising soccer nearby but managed to sneak it out! CTheExplorer - there was no trackable inside. TFTC!

Hi. Can the next person confirm if the trackable Orion Boomerang is still in the cache? I placed it there 6 months ago, but there is no log of it having been moved on?

Not very cammoed, spied from 10mtrs away. Placed some debris to try n hide a bit. Tftc

Found . Thanks Cookie Monster.

A nice little find.

Quick find. Tftc

We could see this on approach and it seemed to be a fairly standard cache, so not sure what the twist was, and/or what warrants the relatively high level of difficulty. TFTC anyway!

??

Thanks for the hint! Helped the kid find it.

Reasonably straightforward find. No-one about so could search in peace. TFTC

Out walking off some xmas pudding and managed to find this guy. TFTC TNLN

Even the most obvious of hides can be well camouflaged!
Took the opportunity to grab this one on our way through the area today
Many thanx to Cookie_Monster

Tftc

When my muggle son asked if we could go and get some lunch and do a bit of geocaching I jumped at the chance. Nice easy find thanks to the hint. TFTC

Out on a geocaching adventure with my brother stinky tom and nephew stink bob.
While walking to the location we wondered what we were getting into with a 3.5 Difficulty rating but as stated in many previous logs it really isn't a difficult cache at all.
Found, signed and replaced.

Thanks Cookie Monster

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I have got a nice streak going and hoping to let it run for as long as possible. This may or may not become easier now that I have found a job but I’m still currently staying with my brother (stinky tom) and his family which includes my nephew (stinky bob).

nice easy one TFTC bro

Went out on a geocaching adventure with Kmannz and stinky Bob today. This one was very easy to find we could spot before getting close. TFTC

A really easy find

Very easy find - however it was slightly out in the open and not camouflaged at all. I replaced it with a bit more care and covering Thank you - Sashinka

Nicely hidden. Had to pop down late today to keep my streak going and this gave me no problems whatsoever.
Log is a bit full though....

A gorgeous Spring day to be out caching with Rebel Acts, picking up a mixture of solved puzzles, multis and trads.
TFTC Cookie_Monster!

The sun had finally turned up so it was time to do some caching, I teamed up with OzHockeyChick for a days caching around the Bayside area, It was good to pick up a few puzzles that had been sitting in the solved pile for some time. there sure is plenty of activity in this area with walkers and bike riders. We had a great day of caching with twenty six finds for the day. Thanks Cookie__Monster for the cache.

Yep

Great find for my littke one. Easy and hard at the same time as i was distracted by another possibility.
Hope someone finds takes the trackable somewhere further than i could!

Nice pleasant find

Whats the twist? :*

Came into the area today picking up a few caches as I head towards my next milestone. Nice placement. TFTC.

Easy find JJ strikes again

Found with block and Jouf, clue made it quite easy

The cache is there though appears to have lost the blue tag. Interesting one, thanks

Helen in my team find this one as usual. 1st for today. TfTC.

L O V E this sneaky little cache!
Got poo'd on while logging it

Sneaky find but not enough to deter my geocaching partner in crime!! Thanks for the find. Swapped a knick knack for a knick knack!!
