Hi there skakids,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.

You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**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 kill this cache.**

#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 praises.


- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page telling them what the situation is, 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 the listing is next checked, all will be fine for a little bit longer. But 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 this page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks so as to keep everyone up to speed with what is happening.


- **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 the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

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,

Does this still exist here?

No

found said grid but no cache inside

G

"Yeah / Nah... not for me today"

In Melbourne on my way to Tasmania via the Spirit tomorrow morning (8 February).

I decided to go grab some quick local Trads being pushed for time

I saw the rectangle grid(s) nothing presented itself, however i did notice some small thin strands of wire about 8-10 inches long but nothing was connected to them so a DNF it is.

Thanks for the challenge none the less. I love that multi-colored odd looking hi-rise nearby

Couldn't find it, is it possible the recent construction works on the wall got rid of it?

Out and about with fellow cache echidna44 for another enjoyable fun caching/catchup day. This was to be a quick one as echidna44 had already found it. Searched for too long before conceding defeat. To good for me skakids

You got me, I can't find it

###**CACHE OWNER PLEASE NOTE**###

----------

This cache would seem to have had some welcomed action on behalf of the CO by a Good Samaritan - 'queenant89', so it fortunately lives for another day.

Please remember that cache maintenance arrangements need to be proactive, not reactive. This means regular visits (by the CO) to check on the cache and not relying on or expect passing seekers to fix issues or replace missing caches.

Even though a Good Samaritan has addressed the issue, there is still a need to Enable the cache - see here: [**Temporarily Disable and Enable**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) and then remove the "Needs Maintenance" attribute. You can do this by logging a "Owner Maintenance" log - see this Help Centre article: "[**Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon.**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 )"

**I have done this for you on this occasion.**

Hi Bunjil, I've checked this today as a regular local and still in place:) no maintainer required

--------

###**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.

I got it! A fairly fast find. First, I was thinking metal grill...

Ce géocacheur a signalé que le conteneur est abîmé.

Find, but the cache is broken no log book

Ty ska you da bessss

Took a moment of circling before the penny dropped.
Some animal has eaten the lid to get inside the cache, logbook and pencil all good, otherwise not waterproof anymore.
Thanks for showing me this place with a cache! Wish there was more street art caches around!
Cheers!

Easy

Niceeeeeee

Bien caché

Great camo

Very well camouflaged

TFTC!

Nice cachs! Thanks!

At first all the obvious locations was searched, but could not find it. Decided to pick a spot to stand and just "stake out" the area. The well camo container was quickly spotted.

Thx

Having just enjoyed a couple of hours or so geocaching in Alberts Park we came to search for this cache which was quickly located once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Another great cache skakids. Amazing camo with is one. Was a bit of a needle in the haystack! Geohubby was 2/2 today... love your work!

#9642 - 9:36:00 AM; In Melbourne for a few days with the geohoney and picked up this cache after a morning stroll to collect a couple of GCA webcams in the area. Made my way to GZ and soon located the nicely cammoed cache. TFTC skakids

This took a while, the hint pointed me in several wrong directions before it became clear. The coordinates are very precise.

Camouflage amazing!

Ahhh.. always nice to sign a fresh log. Shame how the colourful art has been painted over though. TFTC!

I’ve driven on and around this tunnel system many times, but never knew it existed. However, since I’ve also never had problems with pedestrians, it make sense. I managed to come here at what is probably a rare time, everything had recently been painted back into a blank canvas! I’m sure the tunnel gallery will back soon, if I know St Kilda! Took a bit to find, but knew I had it when I saw out the corner of my eye. Thanks Skakids

Cute camouflage! Sad to see the walls were painted over in the tunnels, hope the art comes back. Thanks!

Cool container! My friend found it before I even had a chance

Great camo and cool artwork! Found it in the end and added a new log.

Nice camouflage- spotted where it could be from St Kilda Road. Third visit & found. Thank you

I must be blind!!!

Got it! Thanks for a quick fun cache. Great steer art.

After walking back and forth trying to avoid muggles, finally had the time to snatch it, log and return without anyone seeing. TFTC!

Great spot. Looks like somewhere you'll hide drugs.

Driven past heaps of times but didn’t even know these tunnels were here! TFTC

Nestled away in a super busy traffic junction. TFTC

Wanted to get my Aus cache finds up to 50 before heading back home, so cleared the ones down this end of the park after the parkrun this morning. 5th of 6, and I was on it immediately. Hardest thing was crossing the road... Greetings from England, TFTC.

Geotrip to Australia and New-Zealand with Viltsu. Greetings from Finland. TFTC

Geotrip to Australia. Found together with Kirss and my muggle brother. Found after some searching. Greetings from Finland. TFTC

Charlie made the find! TFTC

Caught another cacher finding this one this morning but thought i'd already found it. Apparently not! So nabbed it on my way back from the racetrack tonight. TFTC.

Nice find on the way to the Grand Prix this morning. Need to have a close look and make sure the cache does not disappear to somewhere it cannot be found. Thanks skakids for the find.

Whoop cool as camo

Good hide

TFTC!

I found the cache when I was looking in the right place.

Nice one, TFTC

Melbourne Day 5: St Kilda and CBD Fringes
Last day in Melbourne today, and since my flight was quite late in the evening, I had more or leas the whole day to finish off whatever caches I felt like doing. Took a very long walk around the city today, and picked up a few caches to start the New Year. Have a great 2019 everyone, and thanks for the caches!

The following is the specific log for each cache:
I was wondering whether I had to head down there to get the cache. Well... thankfully no. Headed down the ramp to the “lookout” and claimed the cache. TFTC!

Hurray the first cache found again in St.Kilda. We are visiting Our daughter here. We are from the Netherlands. Beautiful graffite. team Sylmarke.

Took a while before searching in the right place, tftc

With an afternoon to spare and a desire to have a decent walk I chose an Area not to far away with a cluster of caches and set about grabbing some of the quest series...20,000 steps later....after getting off the tram nearby I had to make this one the last of the day. Great clue. Tftc

Rectangle grid was a great clue, tftc

A nice quick and easy find on my way home.
Tough part was parking the car.
A nice stroll to GZ and some great artwork.
TFTC

Out with my mate Greytiger and we started the day well with this find. A nice hide TFTC.

Thank you skakids for your cache, amaali and I are going to spend some time with your caches.
amaali found this very easy while I was looking in the wrong place. A trinket left.
Greytiger

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

Mrs Geo managed to find this one before I got a chance as the phone rang for a call I needed to take. TFTC

Certainly the artwork is impressive - thanks for bringing me here, skakids.
I needed to find a 7-11 store to top up my Myki (can't do it online without an Australian address, to my dismay); this was nearly in the way !
I tried one level first then the correct level. Co-ords spot on, as other cachers have mentioned.
TFTC, greetings from New Zealand,.

Quick lunchtime find with bennyosborn

Had to be careful where we put our hands with a few signature s around...a nice lunchtime cache w copeyclan

Thanks mate

Walked around for ages, wasn't sure which level I should be on

Much fun!!

Some nice art.

Well, dead accurate coordinates made this a gratifyingly quick grab,vwith the familiar container in the very first spot I looked.

Thanks, skakids... all the times I've cached around the Junction, and this is the first time I've had occasion to use the tunnels and check out the street art.

I'd intended a bike ride in the Western Suburbs, but the weather had other ideas, so a Quest on foot became Plan B.

In all, starting from Prahran, and finishing in St. Kilda, six Quest cache locations and a further seven other skakids hides were visited, resulting in ten smileys, a DNF and two "did not attempt", while people enjoyed the slightly cooler conditions in a couple of local parks.

It has been a while. Took me a few walk arounds to locate it.

This is my very first geocache! Good one! Thanks!

I can not believe I found this. The best, most cryptic cache ever. Extremely clever hide, I was confounded and confused by the hint. Chased red herrings but when I found it, all became clear

Sneaky hide TYFC

Inside a tunnel? GPS can't help! It is OK. Thanks skakids.

2nd time the charm for this cache. Last time my geocaching vision must have been out because I managed to spot it straight away this morning. Nice camo I have come to expect from skakids caches. TFTC.

Found It!
A quick find with the help of the hint. Interesting spot and a confusing intersection!
TFTC

This was a tricky one, but we got there in the end! GPS location helped a lot!

Greatings from Belgium. @ 21u15.

Greetings from Belgium!

Before dinner I decided to get some walking and geocaching in. Enjoyed finding my way thru those colorful tunnels. TFTC

Caching day with kangas11 as the weather is beautiful
Good for us to get out from the house.
Interested to see many different arts
Found it
Thanks skakids for the cache

Good to be out of the house to do the caching day with crank1 in St Kilda area. Found it easily. Cool graffiti walls along the tunnel. Thanks skakids for the cache.

#4/9 of a lovely chilling summer weather biking Melbourne exploring day. Pretty nice gallery! I was not expecting to go to this intersection at al, but as I was approaching the Albert Park, I was attracted by the cubical colourful building and I took a little D-tour to come closer. I really like it's design! TFTC

I've done a similar one, so spotted it easily, great spot for it.

Found it

Found it
My first one!

First day in Melbourne and first few caches done (17 to start with) while exploring Kilda area in order not to overdo the first day with all the jetlag and stuff

Quick first geocache ever in Australia quick and easy

TFTC

Greetings from Latvia and Belgium!

Got it! Nice hiding place and camouflage. TFTC!

Pretty hard but good camouflage

Tftc

TFTC!
