Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

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.

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

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](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.

Well camouflaged.
Bit tricky in all the undergrowth

Found with the geokids. Tftc

Found it! took a little investigation to find it! thanks for the gift

Found.. thanks for the find .. and thanks for the stamp geo kid loves it .. it’s our 8th wedding anniversary so needed to find a cache

Found it, but not where I originally expected. I can see it was a good hide at one point in its life, now camo is trashed, log, pencil and all cache contents are gone. Would owner please attend to it.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

With the kids having a blast on the facilities nearby we had time to make a detour and grab this cache. We found the old container first and it was only a short way to find the other. TFTC

Nice cache with kid

Did it. Easy find. The boys found this one.

Too many muggles around today (Queen's Birthday). We'll have to come back another time!

The younger Bruces would enjoy this playground but it was just me this afternoon. The find was made quickly enough, with all in good condition. Thanks YVGtrail

We were walking the rain trying to find its location close to giving finally found ! Good hiding spot ! Thanks guys !

Found it, as others have said it requires maintenance.

I found this ages ago and failed to post a needs maintenance on it.

A bit off the coordinates but finally found it. Old cache looked really well done but is trashed now.tftc!

Decided to stop at the park after a few other cache’s, kids were excited to see there was one nearby! There dad found it first though

Found it. Was lying around and look damaged / disturbed? No pencil for log book.
Tftc.

The very hot weather meant that the planned day trip didn't happen and we ended up doing a few more local trips to see a few different things. Having seen Edendale Farm advertised, we stopped for a wander. The playground nearby looked great, and I think the munchkin will enjoy this in years to come. I had a look for this cache and not wanting to leave empty handed, I spent a bit more time looking than I think the rest of the team wanted to stop for. Got there in the end. TFTC

Fungus

Looked under the bridge and in the trees but was on time pressure from family so assume it's there but I couldn't see it. Will try again when I can go alone. Love the new playground, and the homemade peppermint ice cream at the farm café was delicious.

Coordinates were a bit funny for us, but found it. Too scared to write in the log it as it is covered in spider webs. TFTH

No luck, definitely not where you would expect to find it or at GZ

As much as I have been here before, I still couldn't remember what/where it was. Sometimes it pays to wait until your GPS has settled and not just go for where you believe it should be. Thanks for the cache.

Spent a bit of time scouring the obvious before spotting something somewhere else. Upon closer inspection we not only found the cache, but also the blackest mid-sized spider I’ve ever seen.
The outer “shell” has split down the middle, and our 8-legged friend has taken up residence in one section. After signing the log and returning everything to where it’s supposed to be, we returned this half to behind the “protection” about 30cm away. Didn’t want to put it back with other half to protect the next finder from a possible bite. CO might want to visit with a can of Mortein and a spotvof glue.
Cheers YVGtrail

Had a look with the family but it’s too wet and muddy out. Will come back when it’s dried up.

Heading home from work avoiding the bulk of the traffic, I headed out this way for some relief and a cache for the day.
Slowly cleaning out the area.
Interesting cache.
TFTC

This cache has a very interesting twist.
TFTC

Yea !! Found with Melbmatt50 on the Beautiful Day !! SL, TFTC !!

Found after a quick search with Smrff078. TFTC.

Gorgeous area of Eltham. Well hidden, fortunately sakes aren't out yet.

TFTC! Awesome hiding spot!

Great hiding spot with great camo!

Great improvement around here.
Thanks YVGtrail for bring me here and cache.

Great hide. The farm was under construction when we visited and the adventure playground has not yet started but looks like it will be a lovely area to visit when complete.

Came to drop a TB off that we have had too long

BASH found it!

Found it

To hark couldn’t find it

Damaged and wet.

I need a top and papet

Double ended is deceptive

This clever cache found with ICW. Tftc.

TFTC, watch those GPS, nice construction

Great day out with berryjac. Great spot. Compass was a little off.

A fun find though we were puzzled for a while. Appreciated the clues from those before us. We added a new log, and restocked the stash. A pen is needed. Thanks we loved it, esp the cool decoy and having swappables. Now on to the farm! Thanks for a nice day out.

Good find. Compass was a little off.

Good find. Great fun with Bezza

Tftc. Clever camo
Out geo-hunting with geo-girlfriend.
A more helpful hint would definitely help here.

Reasonably quick find. Nice cache.
No log book so signed a card that was in the cache. TFTC

Have fun it was hard at first but it was easy to see. Mr 11 & mr 6

??

Cache was a quick find, I'm glad there was no scorpion this time! There was also no log. Unfortunately I didn't have one with me, so I logged the back of a sticker that was in the container.
Thanks

This one has been tampered with contents strewn on the ground. The log is missing. But I found it! It's in a slightly different spot to coordinates bit within 15 to 20 metres

Found container, but Muggled. Still fun.

Dropped by to find this one while out on a Sunday morning ride... in the rain!

Mr 9 was pleased to make this find and get away from the nearby busy, overcrowded playground, which we drove 40 minutes for as a school holiday treat.
After signing the log, we hopped back in the car and headed home.
TFTC!

Hopefully, this TB will be on its way soon, as it's quite a busy cache.

TFTC! The youngest found this after our visit to Edendale

Wonderful hide. Was a bit worried when i saw this tiny scorpion inside the container though. TFTC

Found it

Another good find while in the area today.
SL TFTC

Nice!

Bit unprepared but found it

Very clever hide

Out with Treasureseeker75 and geokids for a rare day out of caching. This is our 3rd find and kids are losing interest fast. Took us a while to search for this one but eventually we found it where we had looked first. Geosenses are obviously not as finely tuned after a few months off. Tftc

After looking at the obvious place. GeoPeabody&sherman found and clever decoy.
Now off to park for play.
Tftc

Great spot and fun find pitched just right for kids! TFTC!

Clever and well done. TFTC.

Nice place this, found using new caching app.

A chance encounter. Been a while since i found one. Nice cam job.

Cool cache!
Well constructed =]
First and probably only find for the day.
Co-ords are a bit off and area very snakey but didn't see any reptilian friends today.
Impressive park. But am childless so no playground fun for me. Haha.
Thanks for bringing me here.
Took & left nothing.
Cheers & T.F.T.C!
Safe travels and hoppy caching =D

It was a sunny morning so we decided to go on a bike ride along the Diamond Creek trail and then along the Mullum Mullum...this was our first find of the day. On arrival, we were a little worried about snakes in the area..but found a small path that led us to the container.. A sneaky hide!! Thanks TVGtrail for taking us to somewhere we hadn't visited in a while and for hiding the cache

Happy Australia Day! Kids played in the playground then looked through the farm. Cache was in plain sight once we were looking at the right angle.

Go a little further in...

Found it!

Grabbing some caches with omegaman1971 today, while in this area. Found after a bit of a search.
Thanks YVGtrail for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Out and about in the area with Happy feet cleaning up some caches. After looking in the obvious location with no luck, we expanded our search and had success.
Cheers for the cache

Yusss!!!

Nice cache! I forgot when I found it though as soon as I saw it today I quickly logged it.

Found this neat hide with the kids after they wore themselves out at the nearby park. TNLNSL. Thanks for cache!

Loved it. Had to be careful, lots of muggles on a sunny Sunday morning. Thanks for the pen to sign the log

Found it

Found it after a false gps start. TFTC

great mind

Clever hide a bit off coordinate TFTC

Hurrah! Tftc

Nice spot for a cache. Just as well its not snake season.
TFTC YVGtrail

Find number 5310 at 12:59:39 PM
Out this morning on a charity fundraiser walk along the trail and I just had to look for a cache or two along the way. Obviously I looked on the obvious thing first and then went to where I should have in the first place for a quick find.
**Thanks for placing this cache YVGtrail**

TFTC all a part of the fun night out

Found with Rohkad just after midnight....phone's crappy GPS was a bit jumpy so we searched around a bit in the dark, but Rohkad made the find reasonably quickly....TFTC

Success!!

First vic cache

First Vic Cache for this holiday

Found with Bethany and Hannah and Marc and HannahBandana and Mummy and Jo after a play at the the nearby playground.

TFTC. Found with the grandkids on a wet windy day.
Not where I thought it would be, but a good hide.
Must come back when it is fine and have a look at the farm.
The size of the hens were huge.

Quick but great find. Fantastic area for kids.

It wasn't where we expected. Look around !
