Unfortunately, as there has not been a response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, or provide regular updates, the cache is being de-listed on the basis that it has been abandoned by the Cache Owner.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [**Unarchive a geocache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

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

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](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.

easy find kind of wet

Out with the geofam today killing some time. Found quickly even though phone navigated us to the wrong botanical feature initially.

Cool Camo, TFTC

Quick, very obvious cache tftc

Our more or less straight line through the park took [@Nongon](http://coord.info/PRRPZ92) and me to this cache, which we could quickly retrieve. Our plan was to walk to St. Kilda, but somehow the sun was setting, and it was getting a bit cold, so we cancelled our endeavour, walked around Albert Park Lake and took the tram back. Thank you very for letting us spend a bit more time than expected in this park!

This was the second cache of the "Quest" series and again it was [@astoneee](http://coord.info/PR4ZE0A) who finally retrieved it! Thanks for showing us around the nice park with your caches!

Quick grab and go

easy find!

Quick grab and go whilst out with GeoSon.

Cache 4961 on 10 Apr 2019.

I am on a brief work trip to Melbourne from Canberra again, and found myself with an hour spare a little south of the city for a change. So decided to see how many of the Fawkner Park trads I could do in that hour.

At a steady and relaxed pace, I managed to find all the trads. Some of them unfortunately need some maintenance, the containers are generally fine but the logs are either full or torn/damp. I squeezed my name onto all of them but in some cases writing between lines or in the margins.

It was a most enjoyable walk around a very well maintained park with lots of muggles using it , even mid morning when many peeps would have been at work. Good to see such a lovely resource being so well looked after and used.

Favourite point dropped on one cache, but really meant for all the caches in the park.

This cache: glad the markings on the container were camo and not real fungus!

Thanks skakids for the cache and the fun!

TFTC

Easy

So many awesome hides thanks

Cool Camo. New log paper is fine for now. TFTC

Geocaching with Kirss on our australian trip. Found easily. TFTC. Greetings from Finland

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

Quick easy find on a perfect day

Log was too soaked to sign but thanks for the hide!

Nice combo but the log is very wet and should be replaced.

I am beginning to like this park.

Nicely disguised

Such a beautiful park, enjoyed visiting here on trip from Canada. Didn’t have pen to sign log but probably couldn’t anyways as log was very wet. Tftc!

Yeh needs some TLC this one

Log too soggy to sign, but otherwise ok

Managed to wander past at a quiet time. Still soggy inside (!)

Found the cache, however it needs maintenance ASAP.

TFTC

I Looked at a lot of trees and than i was happy

MAINTENANCE REQUIRED

I didn’t even want to touch it.

The outside is horrid & the inside even more so

URGENT!

If this is a geocacher’s 1st find, they will be horrified.

Found the cache, but not able to log it since it was completely soaked in water!
TFTC tho, nice hiding

Definitely needs maintenance and a new log book...

Left a keyring at 14:50 on the 21st of jan 2019 awesome hiding spot good job dad gave me a boost

I found the jar, but it couldn't be logged because it was wet inside.

Found but too wet to log! Needs replacement maybe

This one needs some maintenance. But good hide.

Slightly damp

Needs a new log. Wet wet wet!

Dirty and wet

Infected with insects!

Found the box floating in its hiding hole, took it off and found some maggots living at it's end (picture). The logbook is not in any condition to be ever signed again I think. Cool spot in plain sight, but this cache probably needs some maintenance. Thanks for hiding!

Got this cache right away since it was floating out the hiding spot. Took it and spread water all around, no chance to sign it. Found together with Turquoisepepper (see picture below). Thanks!

Tftc. Great cache. Unfortunately too wet to sign today. It's actually floating.

Found it but log absolutely soaked so didn’t sign. Great hiding spot though! TFTC

Sappy

TFTC, very clever disguise, too wet to log.

Melbourne Day 1: CBD and South Yarra - Prahran.

Flew in to Melbourne from Auckland for one last hurrah on this caching holiday, and got in nice and early this morning. Took a walk around the city while waiting for check in at the hotel and got a few caches along the way. Once I could check in, I took a short break and headed out again in the evening to get a few more. All good and nice in the city today, and picked up a nice number of caches too. Thanks for all the caches!

The following is the specific log for each cache:
Another quick find here. Cache is floating in quite a bit of water, and the contents were a little damp. But, I still appreciated the nice walk here. TFTC!

Today we walked with our cache trail Quest, beautiful park and wonderfully quiet. Thanks for this nice walk. Team sylmarke the Netherlands.

We are on vacation in Australia and of course we seek some caches.
Thanks for this one! We took the cache out of its hidding place, but it was so wet that we immediately put it back. A new logbook would be fine.
Greetings from the Dutch.

Needs maintenance

Easy but gross find - needs maintenance currently covered in water.

Pretty gross from all the water- needs maintenance

Quick find

Was covered in tree sap, maybe skip this one. It’s also more micro than small

We have been enjoying this series in the park today, and think that the natural camouflage that has been used is very effective. This was another clever and well hidden cache.
Thanks and greetings,
Domsky

A last morning on a business trip to Melbourne. Similarly to other mornings during the trip, I started the day by running around few caches. This time I had a bit more time, thus few caches more compared to the other mornings.

I started the day in Fawkner Park, by visiting the series of caches in a very nice park. Thanks formthe caches!

Nice cache
TFTC

Thanks! It was a lovely walk!

#15 of 100 for GC7G5N3
Nice and easy! tftc!

Great find. No trackables and needs a new log book

After a walk/run around Albert Park we stopped to pick up a couple of caches on the way home. This was another quick easy find which we grabbed between Muggles. Good Camouflage TFTC. There was no trackables in the cache though.

Grabbed this while taking a walk through this nice park. Tftc

On a weekend visit to Melbourne bringing a friend for a surprise 50th trip, time to sneak off for a quick few caches nearby our accommodation. Cheers for the cache

Can have a fav. Very cool

Great camo, fairly easy find! We forgot to bring a pen though! TFTC

Found no trackables

Nice hide but did not expect the guardian! Gah! Almost needed another difficulty point for that! tftc

We've recently been on a road trip from Hobart to Adelaide. Today, while waiting to catch the Spirit of Tasmania back home, we found ourselves with a little over an hour to spare to do a little caching.

Examining the caches around Melbourne, we spotted Fawkner Park nearby. With seven traditional caches and one multicache in the park, this seemed like a good place to get a good number of caches in the time we had available.

This cache was the second of six that we found.

TFTC!

Good camo.

Thanks for the cache.

air ambulance at hospital thanks for the cache

Over here from NZ on holiday and as we had spent the day at Scienceworkx decided to head over to an event cache at St Kildas. As I was so close to 3000 caches decided to find a few before the event and make the event the milestone.

Saw this one on approach but had to walk past slightly whilst some muggles passed and then doubled back for a quick find. Great camo.

Thanks for the cache and a fav for the camo.

We are really enjoying our wander through the park, and the MSP half showed real subtlety in picking this one up between passing muggles. TFTC

Yay,, 3rd one for today.
Great spot well hidden and yet easy for us who know.
I am new at this and not very good at it so I love these easy ones.
. TFTC.

Another early morning raid into fawkner park on a magnificent Monday morning!

#1559 Seventh of seven finds on our morning walk around Faulkner Park. Nice easy find on a beautiful morning. TFTC

Found.... have trackable to pass on

Last one for tonight, making my score 7 from 7 so far this trip without a DNF or a Nano in an urban area! I acknowledge you as master of camouflage skakids. Cache was very wet and log full. I dried as best I could and added a piece of paper to act as supplementary log plus my calling card. Suggest another waterproof log might be in order.

As noted in my log, a waterproof log sheet seems to be needed.

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Tftc. Found while discovering the park!

Spotted from a distance away but a prime example of camo that almost perfectly blends with the hiding spot, makes me wonder how many people would see this cache every day without knowing. Took to nearby bench to sign and finally dropped off trackable I've been holding on to for a while.
TFTC.

.

nice walk in park,thanks

Down around this part of town for a conference so made sure to detour a bit on the way back to the tram to pick up a few of the numerous local hides.

Had to wait out a couple of dog walkers here after I spotted the well blended hide and then in for the quick retrival. Thanks for the cache skakids.

Easy

I found it

Heading over this way for a Science Talent Search session on a Saturday morning, this was the last of seven Fawkner Park caches.

Soon homed in on a likely location, and without even checking things out first with my phone (as I had been doing previously) I grabbed the container, leaned nonchalantly against a tree to sign the log, and was soon on my way back to the car.

And so finished my clockwise park tour!

TFTC skakids

Scoop de poop

Thought maybe vertically challenged here but was in luck. Loved the camo and a fav point today. TFTC

Tftc, accidentally picked up a bag of dog poo at first...

Really cool camo! Liked it

Well camouflaged!

Very well camouflaged! Thanks

We found two in the same tree, not sure if this is an accident or on purpose

First cache of the day with lililili111. Thanks for placing this cache. It's a bit chilly so we'll have to keep on moving!

nice place，and easy to find with raindoctor

TFTC from the Kayakviking! Nice walk in the park.

No Tb at all unfortunately but found safely

Log book is full, so we put a $1 in for good measure, happy spending!

No room left to sign, elements taken their toll on the paper also - left $1 as signatures!

A cool Sunday but no rain so I headed around the city to collect caches with 500 plus finds for a challenge. Clever cammo here. Thanks to skakids for placing this cache.
