End of the Line - Pakenham Pakenham, Victoria, Australia
By Jacimarble on 02-Oct-13. Waypoint GC4PFTJ

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/cache in disrepair

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

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

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.

[u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[navy]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 will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The guidelines advise; if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can . . . . . . . and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 . . . . . . . . . . I have disabled it for you this time! [^]

Please respond to this situation by 26th June 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.

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.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/navy]

Its not there again definitely gone

As a previous finder I checked on this the other day and sorry to say it's definitely gone

Is it still there???

Looked for awhile even at low muggle tide.. No luck

Looked all around while satiation was quiet. Could not find it.

Looked all around while satiation was quiet. Could not find it.

Nowhere to be seen

Add our DNF to the list.

I couldn't find this one at 4.30 this morning either.

Could CO please check to see if this cache is actually in place

After muggles left the part at 10.30 PM, hubby and I had a good look for this one, PAF as it was the last cache in pakenham we needed to make a smily... It seems that it has indeed gone walkies

Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today. [8)]

We were in the area waiting for Mrs Felix to collect glasses from BigW almsot a week overdue but we seriously needed a cache to continue our geostreak, we looked in all the obvious spots then the not so obvious spots but to no avail.

Checking the last few logs we spotted some goefriends so a phone call was placed. Seems this cache is not in situ or has been muggled definitelynot where our friends found it in the past.

Had 5 minutes up my sleeve today to make an assault on this high muggle area... likely spot was found, cache soon in hand... a spot of facebook whilst signing and replacing waiting for muggles and we were on oiur way :)

Catching up on logs sorry it took so long thanks for the cache!

Way too many people around be we got it!

Found with the geo-son whilst buying a few things in Pakenham. Waited for a break in the muggle traffic and ended up grabbing the cache whilst there were a few people just on the other side of the structure. All good I thought as we signed the log but only then realised there was a lady in a car right next to us watching everything. Bugger.....had to take the cache back across the park to the car then sit it out for a while. In the end the geo-daughter and I went back over and re-installed the cache when the lady was out of her car for a few minutes meeting someone at the station. The things we do for a find. Many thanks

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.
Today I was lucky enough to be out and about with some of those friends and we targeted this cache.
Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!

Thanks Jacimarble for placing this cache.

Catching up with some late logs

We were in Pakenham with The Drovers doing a bit of shopping and decided to have a look for this one. We had visited here once before but had been muggled out. Today was a quieter time around here and we soon spotted the cache and were able to make a quick grab and sign

Thanks for the cache.

Got this one nice and easy!

Nice and easy

Headed into Pakenham, to do some sightseeing & shopping.
Couldn't resist picking up a few caches on the way back to the caravan.

Cache spotted quickly, and we made the grab in between passing muggles.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Jacimarble, for us and others to find.

Found with deutz4544. TFTC

Found it !
With D.Forsyth. Such a simple one makes me mad, been twice, clearly with my tinted goggles on. Balmy night in Paradise Pakenham

Quick and easy find in the blistering heat. We came out to Officer today today to buy a Christmas tree and couldn't resist a few caches along the way. TFTC

Found it on the ground but replaced to magnetic surface

TFTH

# 426 - Having joined TriciaC2 on her Around Australia trip (my Adelaide to Brisbane part) we are having fun picking up some smileys on the way.

We are visiting friends in Pakenham and today we went for a walk into town. Our muggle friend came for the walk and is very interested in this wonderful activity now she's learned from us how it works.

This was an easy find for us and you should have seen the face of our muggle friend when I suddenly held the cache in my hand.

I don't know if we'll get the chance to do more of this 'End of the Line' series, but

TFTC Jacimarble

On my Round Aussie trip, with Duchy1950, (from Adelaide to Brisbane leg) we stayed with friends in Pakenham. Great time, TFTC

^TFTC Quick find.

Found @ 12:41am, find # 3829.

Out and about with biggles1024 to find a few caches tonight, this was one of them.
This had been one of those caches that we have passed by so many time but did not stop as there were all ways muggles hanging around GZ, even earlier tonight we did a drive by but did not stop.
This time wa timed it just right as the closest taxi to GZ, drove as we arrived and the PSO's on the station removed themselves from the station platform.
Mark headed to GZ first and was able to put his hand on the cache almost straight away, the log was signed and now this one is finally off the list.

Thanks to Jacimarble for placing this cache.

Find #1650

I headed out tonight with Stemicmitsar to collect a few caches east of our usual areas. This cache had proven quite troublesome for many months. On only one occasion had it been worth getting out of the car to search because on all others there had been far too many muggles around. As it was, we drove past earlier in the evening without stopping due to the presence of muggles. On our return, two taxis were right we wanted to be. One soon moved off but then there was the two PSO's on the station. They eventually sought refuge from the cold morning air which left GZ clear. It took no more than thirty seconds to put my hand on the cache. Finally! With the log signed and cache replaced, we continued our homeward journey.

Maybe I'm a bit special but I couldn't find this Cache.

Lost count of how many times I have been to look at this one finaly no muggle at gz strolled across found logged and replaced cache, job done at last. Thanks Jacimarble FTC.

It's been many years since I found an End Of The Line cache, my first was up to the north of Melbourne about 10 years ago that commemorated the end of a line that now didn't go that far from memory. It prompted me to place a couple in Adelaide when I lived there, so that is more than 7 years ago. I would have liked to have found another Melbourne one while down here, but after finishing the job at Packenham I was muggled out by a large lady who wouldn't leave the sign (must have been waiting for a train or something). I checked a couple of spots but couldn't get to the ones I really wanted to look at closely, and as I had to be back over the other side of Melbourne fairly quickly I couldn't out wait her. Oh well, another time maybe. Thanks Jacimarble.

Found this one after getting off the train thanks for putting one here

A quick find thanks

Caching day with Whitepaws9
Start from Pakenham to Beaconsfield.

Found it
Thanks Jacimarble

Enjoyed caching around here with crank1.
Two muggles were there when we found it without their knowledge!
Thanks Jacimarble for bring me here and cache.

Took some time for the mugglers to disappear. Was pretending to wait for someone from the train with geo dog.

Found ya thanks

A quick find on a sunny afternoon. We waited until the passing muggles had cleared. Another one in this series down, we're certainly taking it slowly.

A spontaneous find didn't have a pen to sign log , will pop back soon , great spot heaps of Muggles

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. Came late at night hoping for a clear run at this but there were muggles about waiting to pick up people from the train. Had a bit of a wander about then gave up and left. After PapaGrouch misheard the directions for getting home and went the wrong way we ended up coming back past this one again just as a train arrived, so we parked and waited again and the muggles cleared off and we finally had the chance to grab this one. TFTC

Found as Nicnax with SciFiRulz and WeRAmused. TFTC getting lost can be helpful as it brought us back for another look.

Visited here on a marathon day with ScifiRulz and the Grouch. Had a play on the nearby playground while we waited for the muggles to go away.

Think I saw it but way too busy, esp when the taxi driver is standing at gz having a smoko

Bloody muggles... found this one quickly but had to wait it out until they all left. TFTC the Kearneys

I looked for this once before but the place was full of muggles and I had to give it a miss. On this particularly foggy cold morning there was hardly anyone around. I walked around the area for a little while and then I saw the little bit that wasn't quite right. TFTC

Was down this way for a PD. finished early and the sun was shining so i thought I do a couple of caches in the area.

Waited and waited and waited and waited for muggles to move on. FINALLY the coast was clear and went in for the grab. a quick grab and sign before moving on. I am quite suprise the cache is still in is location. The area is full of muggles at certain times of the day. best done on a weekend or at night and not during peak periods. thanks for the cache Jacimarble.

TFTC been waiting for this one to complete my local smiley collection

i've been waiting patiently for this cache to come back online - took a seat, signed the crisp log. TFTC

Quick find now its back, nice frssh log....

Cache replaced. Good to go

To be checked an maintained 5-13 July 2014

This one looks likeit hasgone

I had a look for this one without success...not that I was really expecting to with 4 DNF's before me. On the basis that the Hint is quite explicit I would say the cache is gone...time for the CO to check please.

Had a pretty good look for this one in between taxi's and police and am fairly certain that it has gone.

Nope another one u can't find not sure if I'm bad at this or just unlucky. - council recently revamped the area perhaps it's gone?

couldnt find it, it looks like there has been some work in the area and may have been taken away

Looked for this one with SethyD, Nadiaangel and Sillylilly135. Could not find anything around GZ, there seemed to be a very small area right where the co-ords are that is a construction zone. Our guess is that the cache may be gone. See attached photo.

Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of mainland Australia.

Today we explored Pakenham and surrounds using geocaching as our guide.

Took a seat and waited and were rewarded with a find TFTC

Found it easy enough, but no easy task getting log out. Then a bus came, and the transit police parked themselves in a position that seemed to be monitoring us. So, we just sat, carefully trying to extract the log and return the cache. TFTC

Found this one on a warm night with policemen around. TFTC Jacimarble

First find! Never ending stream of muggles.

Had a tough time avoiding muggles, but finally saw something not quite right and had the cache in hand. Nice hide

Not Found with SciFiRulz and WeRAmused

Have been meaning to attempt this cache for a while, and today was our chance while waiting for someone at the station. The cache was located as expected, but unfortunately the log was in too tightly for us to remove without damage. We have taken a photo for CO if required. Great location to sit and wait and watch. Thanks Jacimarble

Awesome cache first timer along a great one to start her off!!!

A quck visit to Pakenham for motorbike spare parts, decided to drive past this cache to see how busy GZ would be. Middle of the day and not a lot of activity. Took a seat to wait for GPS to settlle, then a quick feel and cache was found. took sometime to extract the log and replace it. Then a stretch and the cache was replaced.
TFTC.

Catch the train to and from work here. Sit and relax and don't look suspicious as the police at the station may be watching you, that's what I did. When a train came in to station I made my move to replace the cache TFTC.

Found between muggles moving back and forth, minding their own business.
TFTC

A short trip out with my two boys today to pick up a few caches in the area. We parked nearby and found the little cache soon after arriving at GZ. A nice little series that has taken me all over the Melbourne metro region.
Thanks for the hide.

Great quick cache!

Out for some cup day caching with BorisB&Natasha. Had to wait out some muggles that were sitting at GZ. Thought about leaving it for another day, but eventually they moved on and we were able to make the find. Thanks Jacimarble for the cache.

Find #853
Out caching with Nut bear on this beautiful sunny Cup Day. There were a couple of muggles very near to GZ so we went for a bit of a wander and fortunately they were gone when we got back. Nut bear was straight onto this great hide while I did the honours of signing the log.
Thanks Jacimarble for the cache.

On our cache a day quest until we stop whenever that will be we stopped for this cache today. This was the 3rd time I had been here and the last two times I walked away due to muggles, preferring a day with no one around.
Today was different and good timing had us in a quiet moment with the cache being found easily and logged without a hassle or muggles.
Our sincere thanks to Jacimarble for the cache and thanks to good coordinates it was an easy find today.
Regards

Nice camouflage cache, quick jump off the train pickup. tftc

Quick find after the muggle lady moved TFTH

Train just came in so had to wait for the area to clear..thtc

Found with Trailrunning on another Monday caching adventure, The weather was a little crazy today, typical Melbourne, four seasons in one day, We found a mixed bag of caches tonight, from tricky hides, creative puzzles and quiet a few key holder drive by caches.Thanks Jacimarble for the cache.

I was not looking forward to a night of caching in the rain; this is meant to be Spring! Anyway it was another night out with my good caching buddy, Rebel Acts. So much has popped up in the last few months to the south of us, so we set our sights on heading that way to re-clear out areas that were once spotless. A few DNF's for the night were dissappointing but a total tally in excess of 30 after some long unsuccessful searches was still a good night. I even got home early, but for the Rebel, who had been up since 4, had a longer day than I. A nice quick sign. Thanks for the cache.

Found it! Found it yesterday but didn't have a pen. Found it again at lunchtime but didn't have a extraction tool! Found it, extracted it and signed after work while transit police were monitoring the area. Fortunately they were more concerned about parking infringements than someone reading the information map near GZ! TFTC SL

Cache was found with minimal fuss and was able to get it without being seen. I took it to the car to sign and then BAM! an explosion of activity including 2 trains arriving, PSOs standing at ground zero and the Police who were hanging about the station. Waited until ground zero was relatively clear to replace the cache, hopefully it will be there for the next cacher(s) to find.
Thanks for the cache

Out and about on a casual afternoon caching run with Slink1. We started off with no real plan and sometimes this is the best way. As always we enjoyed where the caching took us.

Found on an afternoon casual caching run with Dunko, as always we enjoyed where the caching took us.
Thanks to Jacimarble for the effort and placement TNLN SL

FTF!!! Was heading through Pakenham when i noticed this was still unfound after being published last night. Made my way to GZ for the quick find and retrieve, retired back to the GeoRanger and signed the log. Only when i went to put the cache back did I see 6 kids had taken up residence around GZ. So off to get a coffee and when i got back the area was clear to replace the cache.

Thanks for the cache Jacimarble!!!
