As there has been no 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.

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.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [**Unarchive a geocache**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

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.
 
No luck today, not sure if it is still there?

Good stuff

All I located was a large arrangement of dog doo at GZ. It was artistically constructed but curved my enthusiasm to search for a nano.

I intended to log a "Needs Maintenance" note but that option is no longer available under "Log a new visit". It's not an option under "Report a problem" either. The "Report a problem" should indicate that a "Needs Maintenance" would be raised or the Reviewer advised or whatever. Btw, how do you contact a Reviewer? - their emails are "no reply".

I appreciate the good intentions of laurenda in bringing the situation regarding this cache to the attention of the geocaching community.

Logging information regarding a cache is certainly to be encouraged and is a great way to alert the community to an issue with a cache. However, making direct contact with the CO via email/message and acquainting them of your observation AND/OR logging a 'Needs Maintenance" log on the cache page is the preferable first step. Please only use the 'Needs Archive' log when there are serious problems with the cache or its location, or if the CO has not responded to a 'Needs Maintenance' log.

Posting a 'Needs Maintenance' log on the cache page notifies both the geocaching community as well as the cache owner. This log adds an attribute to the page (looks like a colored cross) to alert other geocachers of the needed repairs. Needs Maintenance logs are not forwarded to reviewers, but they are the first step in the Archive process.

If the geocache has not been found for a reasonable amount of time and the cache owner has not reacted to a "Needs Maintenance" log, then that is the time to post a "Needs Archived" log on the listing. Please read the Help Centre article: [When a cache needs maintenance](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=107&pgid=434)

**A recent Needs Maintenance log has not actually been placed on this cache. so I am placing one with this log.**

Wasn't til we got here and couldn't find it that I read prior logs and saw a host of DNFs preceded me and the cache hasn't been found since 2016!!! Either CO should confirm cache is still there or Reviewer should archive.
 
08-Jan-18
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
 
23-Dec-17
Don't think it's here any more
 
16-Dec-17
No sign of cache at all
 
16-Dec-17
Scouted around a bit but didn’t find cache or any sign of it.
 
13-Oct-17
Didn’t check the activity until after
 
01-Sep-17
This cache hasn't been found since November 2016. Please can CO confirm that the cache is still here? Thank you.
 
01-Sep-17
Will check on this one over the weekend .
Cheers
 
01-Sep-17
Found a zip tie in the bush at the Coords, but no cache, reckon its gone
 
13-Aug-17
Couldn't find might not be there
 
06-Aug-17
No luck here, had a reasonable idea what we were looking for from a photo. Perhaps it is gone, been a while since it has been found. With TeamVal.
 
01-Apr-17
I looked - I got the compass down to 2m, I saw something that *really-* fitted the name but on closer examination turned out to be a real [spoiler] made by a real [spoiler] so I was very glad I didn't pull it down. I gathered what I judged to be an unreasonable amount of burrs and sharp spikes thorny things in my clothes and skin - although I don't know how to judge what would be an acceptable level of sharp thorny things and burrs, to be fair.

I'm going to call it - I'm not sure this is here... can CO please check?
 
25-Jan-17
I still cannot for the life of me spot this one. It doesn't help that my GPS just doesn't like the location. I can't get closer than 12-16 meters away. ;_; After fishing through the logs and finding out what the cache looks like, even then I still can't see it and I'm great at spotting stuff like that, usually. Did find some really cool invertebrates kicking around though.
 
01-Jan-17
Sadly couldn't find this one Sad
 
06-Nov-16
Took us a while I really like the hiding spot
 
17-Oct-16
Nifty little construction, it impressed my friend quite a bit Smile

After a nice walk and lots of laughter, we arrived at Gz and soon had the log signed.
Cheers for the cache
 
08-Oct-16
Last one for the day before the little ones had to be home for dinner. Very cute container. Thanks Belleakelea.
 
08-Oct-16
(._o) led us to this well favourited cache and actually located. Very cute. Thanks for the cache Belleakelea. I gave it a favourite too
 
03-Oct-16
Our little ones were so excited when we found this one . Great visual. TFTC
 
23-Sep-16
Pleasant walk to GZ. Eventually spotted the cute cache and the log was soon signed and replaced. Thanks for the cache.
 
24-Aug-16

13-Jun-16
Good find
 
13-Jun-16
Bumped into some new cachers here and cute find with geodad
 
13-Jun-16
As I was approaching GZ, did find more than a cache I found a FAMILY of CACHERS, who had just replaced container into its hide area, so as cachers do we exchanged pleasantries then tried to act like nothing was happening, Glad to make the aquaintenence of the Hullaballos75
and wish them many enjoyable hours of geofun
 
12-Jun-16
Quite an easy find. The small log is full but lots of room left on the big log.
 
10-Jun-16
Cute little cache. Looks great! TFTC
 
30-May-16
Out and about on my bike exploring new territory. Lovely spot. Mince little cache. Thanks!
 
14-May-16
Very sweet find. Initially my GPS was going to take me into the creek but I thought I'd give it a minute to settle which was a good move.
 
Had met friends at the Butterfly park for a play on this gorgeous autumn day. My geokid's friends KatKat10 is always desperate to cache when with us as she doesn't get the opportunity with her family. So the nag of the geokids won and we quickly abandoned the other grownups and went for a walk to find this cache. A very cute find in a lovely area. Log also signed by CharlieBear10 who may not log online. TFTC.
 
16-Apr-16
Another with blythman, TFTC
 
09-Apr-16
Nice, very creative cache! TFTC!
 
03-Apr-16
No pen with us. Took a pic instead. Loved the effort put into this hide. Clever Smile
 
02-Apr-16
We haven't been caching for a while for a variety of reasons, but today was our restart when we fancied a walk to Petty' Orchard cafe for tea and pies. This was a great little cache with a lot of effort put into it. A really good job and a perfect one to re-kick start our enjoyment of this pastime.

Cheers

Very tweet!!!

I left the family at home whilst I went to grab a few caches. There were a few walkers nearby however I was able to find the cache in peace. A great hide. TFTC.
 
13-Mar-16
Nice camo Smile
 
27-Feb-16
Found on a walk around this park this morning. GZ was accurate but the cache took a little bit of searching to find. retrieved, log signed and replaced. tftc
Clever idea for the hide camo.
Time to get home and prepare for a wedding later today.
 
14-Jan-16
Suscoe had a big day out today with 40 finds in total as we wandered the streets around this area.
After yesterday's 43 degrees heat we were enjoying the below 20 degrees coolness with typical Southern Victorian Summer weather in full swing.
It was a drizzly old day with a decent breeze and some rain at times. Cloud covered the sky all day.
Thanks to Belleakelea for this cache, a nice idea and well hidden.
We signed the new log, the old one is full.
Oh the rain has started again.
 
03-Jan-16
Can't say I was looking very hard by the time I got here, too hungry and I could feel my skin getting crispy. I'll be back.
 
23-Dec-15
Came back to claim this one.
 
23-Dec-15
Came back again better equipped. The log was full so I placed a spare log in the cache.
 
12-Dec-15
Found it. But no tool to retrieve the log. So will have to come back.
 
06-Dec-15
I can see why this has so many favourite points. Nice to see something different. We were visiting the Diamond Valley railway and surrounds for our annual Chrismas Party and thought we'd seek out a few caches. Nice to get away for a short walk and get the smiley. Thanks for the cache. Love it.
 
30-Sep-15
Tftc.
Log full. Wrote on a second piece of paper.
 
29-Sep-15
Will definitely be back to find this...no joy today.
 
20-Sep-15
We found it and we're very excited. Very cool and cute for young ones. TFTC
 
25-Jul-15
I love tge work and thought that went into this cache. thanks very much.
 
25-Jul-15
The log book is full. (Loved the log book!)
 
25-Jul-15
What an excellent hide. Tweet Tweet!
 
10-Jul-15
I looked for this cache a few weeks ago but my GPS would not settle under the trees and I was concerned about how close I needed to go to the creek. After reviewing some recent logs and a Google earth map I had a better idea of what I was looking for so I returned today and made a relatively quick find. Great hide.

Styrofoam eggs! Yippee
 
27-Jun-15
What a great cache, so realistic the crows have attacked the contents.
Only a couple places left on the log.
thanks Belleakelea for the cache
 
08-Jun-15
Really beautiful cache! Super cute and well constructed. Tftc
 
08-Jun-15
Found it with the kids. Great hide. TFTC
 
01-Jun-15
Love the disguise. TFTC! : )
 
31-May-15
Very cool cache... It is all in the name
 
24-May-15
One of the more original camo ideas I've seen. Was pretty hard to extract the log book even with tweezers. Log book is looking slightly damp and is getting full. Such a great hide, TFTC. Smile
 
24-May-15
Best camouflage so far! Saw it and left it untouched until I saw it from a different side;-) tftc!
 
09-May-15
Very clever camo. Blends in well. I was scrounging around on the ground nearby (amongst the flood debris) when my Geowife gave a little cry of discovery. After signing, we went to watch a little of the game of lacrosse that was starting on the nearby field. Always seems to be something happening here on the weekend!
 
06-May-15
TFTC Belleakelea. Nice touch and Well placed! Jimmytherat.
 
02-Apr-15
Found while out & about, cache wasn't what I was expecting, blend in with its surrounds quite well. Smile
 
01-Apr-15
Very cute!!!!
 
01-Apr-15
Found it
 
01-Apr-15
Found it. It was a very fun and cute cache.
 
29-Mar-15
We found this cache today at 2:20pm as number 16 of 17 on our Sunday Lunchtime Caching Expedition. Oh, so dry everywhere out here. This one was our cache for the day and we reckon that some critter, possibly a bird, couldn't tell part of this cache hide from real ones and has pecked holes in them. Thanks from D & H B-A.
 
14-Mar-15
[B)] went for a bit of tumble while searching but found it in the end. Great hide
 
06-Mar-15
Found at 14:38
With a day off work and a few hours free I headed out for some caches. I parked nearby and made my way to gz where I started searching in the wrong place. I quickly realised my mistake and circled around where I spotted something a little out of place and had a chuckle to myself.
Thanks Belleakelea for the cache. Gets a fav point from new for the camo.
 
28-Feb-15
Happy and I were on the way to finish off the caches at Ruffey Lake park when I remembered I still had a couple around here in the GPS. Didn't take us long to reach the GZ and I thought the object I was looking at looked man-made but wasn't sure. hap looked closer and saw some cable ties so we found it.

TNLN. TFTC.

# 7388. Time to grab the bikes and head out to do a few caches today with Robmc. Fortunately the weather was kind to us and I managed 21 smilies and managed to log one Challenge and get a cache to finalise requirements for another.

A favourite point from me. Very cute. Might have to use something like this myself one day. I found it but wasn't sure I had the right thing - but yes it was. We had a pen, so signed the log and returned carefully to the resting place.

Thanks Belleakelea
 
02-Feb-15
Seemed like a nice day for a ride so BettyBoo3747 and I loaded up the deadly treadlies, and set off to grab a few odd caches and the Aqueduct series.
We had gone across the river near here for a challenge cache BB needed, so we figured we would do the few in the park while we were here.
We rode down to GZ. I was on the wrong side of the bush when BB made the find of the very cute cache.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
01-Feb-15
Taking a walk around the park with G' of GJMMelb this afternoon on our way back from hiking along the river, this one took a little while for the GPS to settle on to, so looking up from near the creek I caught sight of a flash of blue and headed around the other side of the thicket where an easy access path was soon spotted leading me to the expected cache hide - a realistic one as it appears to have tricked a number of currawongs/ravens judging by the beak marks!... TFTC Smile

How twickey

Great hide, found with cassez and bennett23, don't look at photo unless you can't find
 
07-Sep-14
Lovely walk on butterfly festival day
 
26-Aug-14
I had to wait down the path a little while some walkers had a chat before I could get to GZ. Once the coast was clear it was a straight forward find except I thought I was breaking in to someone's home to retrieve the cache. No need for a special tool for me, the contents of the cache sprung out when I opened it.

Thanks to Belleakelea for the very interesting hide.
 
17-Aug-14
Awesome cache!!!!!
 
08-Aug-14
Great location, TFTC

Found this with Dad ages ago, finally got my name in the log today!
