The duck 'n' hide Mount Martha, Victoria, Australia
By siobhan3934 on 13-Apr-14. Waypoint GC52CWG

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.

Please archive this cache to as to clear it from the map.

[u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[blue]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 [u]this time![/u] [^]

Please respond to this situation by 26th February 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.[/blue]

This cache appears to have been abandoned. As per my N/M log, the CO has written "THIS HAS BEEN MUGGLED!!! " at the end of the description.

The CO has typed at the end of the description "THIS HAS BEEN MUGGLED". In addition, the CO hasn't been online since 7th October 2014 and I suspect that she doesn't know how to disable a cache and might have already lost interest in the game.

Had a quick look but not very thorough considering the DNF's here.

Went looking for this one and had a really good look around. A few others have ftf recently. Can you please go and check to make sure it is still there?

Still can't find .wondering whether this is where it is support to be

Couldn't find it but thinking it might be where us adults couldn't crawl to ?

Hi Team, am new to this , but having a very good duck and feel we were unable to find it

Thanks. Dad n daughter had fun !

Thanks, good one for the kids

There was a time when TrudyJane and I walked round here and thought... this might be a good spot, but it is bit far away to keep a good eye on it so...how good it is that a cache has been placed here!

TFTC. Didn't find any ducks )

Found it 10/08/2014 2:07pm

Quick find while out walking the dog.

Ed told us no need for the phone . He will tell us hot or cold. quick find.

We planted it

Thanks for introducing me to this park. Cold enough that there were no mossies and a neat clean cache. TFTC

Lovely spot. Thank you for hiding

quick park and find dropped off two tb thanks

Thank you. Fun find with the kids. Left 2 x compasses for owners plus a magnet man for trade. Our first trackable LCR05J. Not 100% how to log it, but will move it on and figure it out. Trackable has a mini briefcase attached, so we added mini compass to that as well. Electric BBQ nearby for lunch.

Out for a day in Mornington with BorisB&Natasha. Knowing that this popped up on the map a while ago we thought we would go have a look. Nice spot and nice sized container. Thanks for the cache.

Passing by with Nut bear after a big day of shopping. With spot on coords and a good sized container it was a nice easy find.
Thanks siobhan3934 for the cache and hope you enjoy looking after it.

Well hidden

While heading to Mt Martha I decided to stop by here with my youngest boy to find the cache. Once parked we followed the path to the structure and searched using our torches. Coops spotted then retrieved the cache. I'm pretty sure there used to be another cache here or very nearby a few years ago too.
Thanks for the hide.

That was so much fun! My first find!

That was so much fun to find love the clue in the name.

Nice quick find while out running errands. I did think about getting out of my warm bed last night to do it... Well done Nurse Suzy! Thanks guys for taking me to a lovely place! TFTC!

Saw this cache this morning and no one had logged a find. So after school drop off, littlest geokiddie and I headed off to hopefully get our first FTF, But when we had the cache in hand we were disappointed to find that in fact we were 2nd to find it oh well. Just a thought though, maybe the log book needs to be in a plastic bag or the container changed to a water tight one as the log book is damp
