Unfortunately, steps have not been taken to address the issue/s associated with this placement, as per the maintenance expectations in the Guidelines.

As explained in previous logs, the cache is now being de-listed (Archived) as abandoned. 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 a Reviewer regarding this cache, please send an email via the profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the Cache Name and GC Identification Code.

I have often wondered what was on the other side of this gate as I have driven past on the freeway.
Now I know. Access granted.
Took: ANZAC PIN. (Because it would have been a bit disrespectful to leave it here)
Left: Baubles
Not a lot of the original container remaining here.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there crimsonfox,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace 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 logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) 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.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD).

Thanks for your cooperation,

Yay gotcha a, bit broken though

I looked for this one a while ago and could not locate it. Today I returned and found the remains of the cache. This is a broken lid, a scattered logbook and the broken blue clips and gasket of a sistema. Oh, and a little red toy. I signed a sticker in the remaining part of the lid and replaced it all where I believe it was hidden. This one definitely needs a visit from the CO.

All that remains is a broken lid, scattered log book and broker gasket and clips from a sistema, and a little red toy. It needs a seeing to.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Lots of fun to find.

Didn't get denied access to this little guy.

This was our first find!

Nice

??

Another great find. Thanks for the fun

Found it

Found it

Yay

It’s found under some rocks, there were some small things in there, but we didn’t replace anything, or take.

Our first geocache! Thanks!

Thanks crimsonfox. This was a super easy find for me. There's not many places it could be! In good condition. Giddy up

Like the previous cacher, I had a good look around and could not find this guy. I think this one may have gone.

Couldn’t find after searching thoroughly. It has been 7 years though.

lots of people around doing lockdown 3.0 walkies

Found it TFTC

After doing the nearby "Just in Cache" we headed over to find this one. Once in the vicinity of GZ it was I, Mrs Pooky who made a relatively easy find. TFTC and bringing us to this area and the walking track. TNLN.

Nice quick find. Beautiful day still in ISO. Took keyring left a game of bowls. TFTC

A new location for me! Out with the family for a walk, and after some searching in the bushes, finally saw the Suspicious Heap. Excellent hide, TFTC!

Great spot! We took a bit of time finding but we eventually saw the suspicious pile great cache in a fun location! Good job!

It was a good find, mislead by the compass though!!!)

Quick search. Thanks!

Easy find tftc with Geoff T

Beware of bikes on the nearby bike path!! With Jadeski TFTC

Took us a bit and some extra hints but we got it

Easy find

Found it!

Thought it looked a bit suspicious…

No2 find for the Darwin’s

Good cache

Thanks!!!

Hooray found it!

????

Great hiding spot, thanks!

Thanks. Don’t jump the fence. No trespassing needed!!

This geocache was AWESOME!!! Thank you for hiding that it was so much fun finding it with my friends!

So i was walking with my friend and they said did you know that you can go treasure hunting or geocashing? I said, no. Can we see if we can find some? So i found this one!

Great hiding spot! My daughter and her friend were so excited to find it and do a swap. Thank you.

Great game, took us a while to find, but you have to bring a pen to fill out form.

Another great outing, thanks!

We found it thanks guys! Great to get out with the kids and walk and hunt for caches while in lockdown.

Pretty easy find.

Easy

Spent a few minutes here looking around when I eventually found it. Felt a bit odd being so close eye the freeway so good thing it was a quick find

I headed out for a quick caching trip this evening on my way to another appointment. After parking fairly close by, I wandered down the bike trail towards this cache. The traffic was flowing well on the freeway nearby, and it did feel a bit strange to be so close. It didn't take long for me to spot something that required further investigation, and there was the cache nicely tucked away. Cache was in good condition here. A few trackables were visited. TFTC crimsonfox

Plenty of grown-up things to be done this afternoon but the weather was too perfect not to go hunting a cache or two. I never knew this park was here and had a very pleasant stroll along the path. TFTC!

I have a big backlog of drafts I am now trying to get through. I've been good with some of the more recent ones, but some are now a couple of months old so it's well past time to clear them. Apologies therefore to the COs for the generic logs - some might get extra words if they come to mind. Either way, my generic logs should not be taken as any indication that I am not very much appreciative of all the effort the COs have put into making these caches for us all to enjoy. TFTC

Out for a Cache on the last day of my holiday, little cachers found it pretty quickly.

My last geocache for the decade. And souvenir for NYE. Driven past almost every day. Can't believe I didn't get this before now! Thanks.

Our first geocache team gavras very tricky

I found this today while out walking with Crusty K9. We left a TB. Tftc crimsonfox.

A clever hide! I didn’t even realise a path ran along the edge of Eastlink so it was handy to learn. I picked up a trackable here and will move it on ️

You shall not pass!!

Driving past here and thought Id grab this - a nice quick find, TFTC!

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

If the freeway is ever at a standstill I know how to get off. Thanks for the cache

Assess Granted.
Tftc crimson fox

Good to stretch the legs and found this on a cool summers day. Thank you!

Found safe and dry thank you crimsonfox. Glad the weather cleared enough today for me to get out and about nicer weather than yesterday that’s for sure.

A nice quick and easy find on the way home.
TFTC

Good quick find in a new area for me. Thanks

Thanks!

Found it !! Great walking trail. TFTC

Nice hide!

With this week’s extension of the Planetary Pursuits Challenge I fired up my booster rockets once more in the hope of bridging the gulf between Neptune and Pluto! Happily, I’m being pushed outside my local Solar System to discover more caches.

This one’s going strong after 4 years - not even sure if the CO’s in the game anymore.

I’ve ridden past here before but never stopped. The GPS started to wander as I got close, but luckily I had spotted where I needed to be before it did so.

Very soon I spotted the UPR and I was GTG!

Picked up a nice Vic Rocks rock - thanks.

TFTC crimsonfox - hope you’re able to get into caching again

The coordinate for this one is off - literally in an area of no access

Went back and found it this time

Nice hide!! Took the ball and left a Chocolate! Enjoy

Found while on a bike ride...quite a hilly section if riding from Ringwood. Found/took travel Bug.

Nice one and great spot with no muggles about

Took a photo to celebrate our first family find.

On the bike getting some caches. I checked the wall for the cache due to the co-ordinates, but it was a much simpler hide. TFTC.

Out with LT during ballet class, though we'd drop by to find this one. Left a trackable, tight fit!

Nice!

First geocache in awhile.

Found it. Watch out for the ants!!

Found it. This was our first find. Great to be apart of it all.

I was passing through the area and thought I'd have another crack, as there were several finds since I was last here. Well this time I walked straight up and found it! I didn't look there last time, not sure how I missed it. Thank you

22/07/2017 3:05:00 PM - I swung past here with Square_pegs and found this cache. Thanks crimsonfox for the adventure.

On a cool and windy day, we set off for a wander through whatfelt like it had been an orchard at some point here.
With good coordinates the cache was spotted as we approached. A nice hide and we added our name to the log.

Thanks to crimsonfox for placing this cache.

I had been just around the corner doing some unplanned maintenance at 'Get On Yer Bike' when I noticed the time approaching midnight. That is always a handy bonus as a successive days cacher - I can grab tomorrow's smiley while I'm already out and about!
I liked this one for its quirky location and effective camo. It was a touch exposed when I found it but I covered it more thoroughly before I left.
Thanks, crimsonfox, for a handy smiley. The cache is in good nick, though a new seal bag is on the cards.
I can easily imagine how noisy it could be here, at times. So I was grateful for my nighttime visit.

Nice hide. We're the ear plugs inside an OH&S requirement?

Visiting BelleAkelea and had a few moments to spare so dropped in to this nice little park for a quick stroll and hopefully an easy find.

Bingo.
Was a pleasant diversion and a successful hunt. Wins all around.

Cache in good condition

Parking's not a problem if you're on two wheels

Had a brief look
But was due elsewhere

A very easy find if you can find a car park.
TFTC

The hardest part was definitely finding a spot to park the car. That done it was a nice easy walk to GZ. TFTC

Tftc

It's a shame that the planting of indigenous plants didn't include the space running up to Park Road. It would be an improvement on the deciduous trees there.

Thank you for placing this well concealed cache in a quiet corner beside a busy tollway.

Found @16:00 #5534
Out today like yesterday working on the project 10k and today was much nicer weather.

A quick find now heading south back to HQ. Not a sole around and no rain too.

TFTC crimsonfox

Found with ashlea13 & melro9

Quick easy find. Tftc
