St Vincent Gardens Albert Park, Victoria, Australia

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.

Will replace this ASAP

I think I found a remnant of the cache. Maybe container has been muggled? Will flag for maintenance check by co.

TFTH!

Can co please check? Looks like container missing...
Thx!

Spent ages looking but we think its been moved

Pretty sure it has gone

Great find with the MCK boyz, cache needs replacing

Geocache needs replacement

Tftc

Found it. No pencil to sign the log though

Was at the excellent Emerald Hill Festival on Sunday. I had half an hour to wait while the rest of the family were listening to a string quartet. what should I do? I know - i'll look for nearby geocaches!
An easy find on a sunny Sunday afternoon. TFTC.

Cute little park! Thanks for the cache!

Play it cool under a shady tree.

Really easy find, thanks! First geocache in Melbourne for me and Andy

Cool find and not too hard. Lots of trinkets.

Nice easy find. Hid it a little better. Hint is to specific.

Tftc

Thanks for the hunt

TFTC MG & KJ

Found @ 1:21am, find # 3684.

While out on the hunt for caches with biggles1024, this one was found.
This one wasn't far off our intended route so we headed over.
We were at the indicated GZ but that was in the garden so we had a look at the hint, this then took us about 13 metres away to where the cache was found.

Thanks to noctis77 for placing this cache.

Find #1568

I headed out with Stemicmitsar for our regular Friday night hunt.
Where came to this area to check out a WhereIGo and whilst here decided to grab this cache. The posted co-ords took us to a garden bed but that seemed an unlikely location and so we looked around for a more likely location and Steve quickly had the cache in hand around 12m from the posted GZ.
SL TFTC

Decided to do a bit of caching after attending a AFL dinner at the Docklands. The weather tonight was lovely. Geodad and Geoson headed off to grab the cache and found after a short look. TFTC noctis77

As noted by previous finders parks staff make this one tricky. I had to loiter suspiciously before making a dash for it, managed to locate the cache, then retreated to a safe spot to complete the log. Reverse surreptitious behaviour for the return leg and escaped unnoticed. I think the staff might be in on it and are laughing at us from behind a tree somewhere.

Found it!!! My first cache! Grounds people nearby gardening made it tricky to get to.

Suscoe's 27th find of 28 for today as we worked our way around some of the bayside suburbs.
Today was a delightful day with a gentle breeze and filtered Spring time sun.
We visited here this morning but the local worker was enjoying smoko at GZ and so after it was apparent that this break had just started we headed south east.
So now it was about 7 hours later and heading home we stopped by and all was quiet at GZ.
A quick find, sign and replace.
Thanks to noctis77 for showing us this place.

Visiting my personal TB

Visited this park and approaches GZ. Quickly found the cache and took it to a nearby seat to sign. Upon my return to replace, the muggle caretakers were in residence. Turns out the storage room for all the pruning equipment is stored in this building right next to GZ. So I had to loiter until the GZ was clear. Ended up doing laps of the nearby lawn bowls field.

The cache was alittle exposed so attempted to put some cammo on it.

TFTC!

Great spot, easy find for a 12 and 4 year olds!! Thanks! Left some nice goodies for the next finder!

TFTC ! Seems like someone could easily see it tried to cover it but wind blew leaves away
SL

Easy find - lots of goodies TFTC

Easy

Found it perfect easy find in complete darkness

Sweet little park, easy find for Chenzo808

After we were rid of the local hobo, who soon departed when we had no money or cigarettes to offer the found was made pretty quickly.

Nice spot- aside from the wino drinking nearby! Quick find cache all good.

Easy find! Lots of muggle children around though.

TNLN TFTC.

Found tonight. Fairly easy find

Find # 150!!!

And the first cache I've ever found where a muggle has actually muggled me!

The grounds keeper arrived just as I picked it up.

"Is that yours mate?"

I explained what I was doing and what it was... He knew it was there. He actually thought it may have belonged to a homeless person, so he has never removed it.

Didn't have a pen so couldn't sign

Tftc!

I headed up to the big smoke with one of my boys for some shopping, fun, caching and exploring. Although quite cool, the weather was great and the city was bustling with people everywhere. We had a great afternoon with us exploring quite a number of alley's in the CBD (we found Peppa Pig), we checked out the big wheel and had a late lunch at the Queen Vic Markets before heading back into town to watch some buskers rap and breakdance for a crowd of onlookers. On our way home we were lucky enough to spot some fireworks happening and made a short detour to park and watch the great display before heading for home.
Nice gardens and there weren't too many muggles about today so after a short search we had the cache and the logbook signed.
Thanks for the hide.

On a wander while we wait for the Open House Melbourne tour we booked. Lovely park and surrounds! Had to climb over a spilled garbage can to retrieve the cache but found it easily. TFTC!

Quick find, and first! Woo

Quick find between some service calls out on the road today! TNLN Nice loom band Sparra0907

Bowled over by this one Skipper,this must have bin here a while. TFTC. left a couple of loom-bands.

#5 yay

Our first cache, great fun

Had popped into this part of town to meet someone for lunch, so after a couple of pork sliders it was time to pop by here for a quick cache...

I knew about this park (although had never visited it) from one of my old planning lecturers who often used it as an example of excellent urban planning and architecture of the surrounding buildings. Of course, he was probably a bit biased given he lived on these streets!! Still - a lovely spot to be for the fortunate ones.

At GZ it was a fairly straightforward find, thankfully, as hanging around these sorts of spots while searching for caches always makes me nervous in case people get the wrong idea about my intentions.... Yikes. I think the guy who wandered past just after I'd put the cache back may have thought similarly.... Oh well - time to slink back to the office

Easy find.

Found with carkisser and Sando23468
Really quick and easy thanks

Found with carkisser and tyzza .....

A quick night find in the rain with Sando23468 and Tyzza. Camo is a bit obvious but it hasn't been muggled yet so it seems to be working. TFTC

Nice quick find at night. Thanks.

Nice easy find. Introduced some friends to caching - sorry!
TFTC, nice history

First ever geocache

Our first geocache find, on a rainy Sunday afternoon (29 June)! Didn't have a pen so we couldn't sign the log book. The lady bird was a bonus find however it sounds as though she's moved on now.

Cool spot. Great park

Great found. Took the ladybug and placed some vouchers. Enjoy

Found it! Love St Vincent's gardens

Have returned the 'lady bug' to garden.

Grabbed this one on a run. Beautiful Park I didn't know existed, thanks for bringing me here. Can't believe this cache hasn't been muggled. TFTC!

Arrived here in the early morning after an airport run. The fog was long gone but the frost was only just defrosting over the greens.
Finding the park deserted with muggle barriers all around, I quickly zeroed in on the hide.
Thanks for the cache here, I driven past here countless times but never turned in the side street to notice the scale of the reserve. Cheers.

Relatively exposed so tried to hide better after signing log. TFTC noctis77.

we head across this way to the hardware probably to often when we are setting up quest caches so this was on our to do list. a quick find after reading the hint. i am surprised it does not get muggled more often. thanks

Beautiful park in a great area.

On a quick visit from Canberra I had time today to take a short walk to this nearby location. A quick find. Thanks for the garden viewing and the cache,

Domsky

Yay. First one found geocaching!

Outstanding public space. Nice easy find. Left some swappables, enjoy.

Average hiding spot. Too easy but TFTC anyway

Tftc, pretty easy in the dark

Great fun easy to find.
THANK YOU

Easy find after school

Nice and easy find on the way home from school!

It's my last night in Melbourne after a few days at a trade show so... time to go geocaching! Aside from the light rain it's a lovely night. TFTC

Nice park for a visit, especially on a beautiful, sunny day like today.

Tftc. Nice park.

Didn't have my pen with me, but I made a mark. Nice location!

Found at night. Very little light made this park very creepy but thankfully the cache was a quick find. Thanks

Found with stooy drinking a night cache sesh p.s look out for spiders

Found it quick. Hard to grab without to be spotted by muggles.
Tftc

Nipped in and grabbed this one on my way to my favourite pizza place, DOC. TFTC

Thank you for bringing ma and I to this lovely location for another beautiful Mother's Day cache. TNLN

Caching with geodaught on Mothers Day. Life is good!

Found at 13:53
A slight detour on the way through had me at this nice park. A muggle emerged from the building as I approached but luckily there was nobody else on sight. The GPS took me to the wrong tree but no hides there so I quickly looked elsewhere. Found, signed and replaced in a matter of minutes and I was on my way.
Thanks noctis77 for the cache and for bringing me to this nice park.

a REAL picnic in this Magnificent park.

thank you for the history & Hide

nurse suzy (& her mumsy)

Just dropped the car off in South Melbourne, and collected a few caches on the way home.
I had been to these gardens a few times before with caching, but not to this end.
They are lovely gardens.
Thanks, Robmc.

Thank you for taking me to this beautiful park. Loved the view from the hiding spot

Nice park on our tour trough albert park.
We found the cache easily!
Thanks all the way from holland!

Great hint, thanks for hiding the geocache !!

With the Easter/Anzac break it was a quiet time to find this cache - or so I thought. I found and retrieved the rather visible cache easily enough and moved away to log. As well I did as two workers came by and opened up that door! I hung around for a while but replacement was impossible, so I went off for a short while, happy in the knowledge that access would have been impossible in the unlikely event of another cacher coming along.

On my return after about 20 minutes the worker vehicle was gone, but my happiness was short-lived as one worker was still in situ. I wandered around until I saw an opportunity and duly replaced the cache.

An interesting spot thanks noctis77.

Nice!

Nice spot, introed 2 new cachers to the sport with this pick. Go Chez n Don.

Found it!

Replaced log sheet and container, hopefully this one will stay dry.

A lovely quiet park. Thankyou for bringing me here. ( camo is replaced. Log is wet so needs maintenance.) TFTC

Find # 2744
10:57 am Wed 9 Apr 2014
On this wet Wednesday I decided to visit my traditional barber in Albert Park to get a haircut.
After that I checked my GPS and discovered this one only a couple of hundred metres away.
I parked as close to it as I could and headed for GZ only to find the cache location quite close to a doorway, which was open with a couple hi viz jacketed gardeners sheltering inside from the light drizzle.
By sidling around the edge of the building, I was able to locate and extract the cache from just outside the doorway with the gardeners about 3m away but without a direct view of me or GZ.
I retreated around the building to the shelter of another tree, signed the difficult to extract and slightly damp log, and then edged back to replace it only to find that the gardeners had moved outside the doorway and that my task was now impossible.
I wandered back to the car, cache in hand, and sat waiting for about ten minutes.
I returned and came around behind the one remaining gardener who spotted me just as I was returning the cache.
I pretended to be sheltering from the drizzle and she happened to be on the phone and just nodded to me as I ducked away to the shelter of the bowling club and returned to my car.
I didn't have time to cover the cache with camo but I think it will be okay there.
I'll drop by next time I'm passing to cover it up a bit better if it doesn't get visited in the meantime.
These gardens are wonderful and it was a shame that it was raining and I didn't have more time to look around.
Thanks for placing this cache noctis77

Sorry about the late log but missed this one somehow.

Had the day with the geokids and was out checking out the block set close by.

A quick detour here and we made our way to GZ.

The youngest made the quick find.

We signed and moved on.

TFTC

This was fun.

I like this park its cool.

We found the cache and then we left after returning it.
