Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.
I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
If you require more time please be sure to post a note (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 to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

OK I'll 'bite the bullet' and post a needs maintenance log. Could the owner please check to see if it's still there.
Had a number of us looking and a previous finder was with us too, but could not locate.
Place where it was is being removed so owners may need to find a new place ... Hopefully it's just replaced not just taken down
A cool location on this hot day! As we are sorta local we will try to duck down regularly to keep an eye on what happens to the poor old structure

Went to St Kilda to take some photos of the sunset. I knew there was a cache somewhere around but I was surprised when I checked the GPS that it was only 12 metres away from where I put my tripod! Found the cache and hung around for a pretty nice sunset. TFTC Ring tales!
Happy Australia Day...
Stopped by at the playground on way home with my Bestie and Geokids for some fun.
Found this one on our way past on a lovely walk.

On approach to GZ we were unsure if we would be lucky enough for a find. There is a lot of bunting around this run down structure. But we were lucky to make a quick find :c) Not sure how long this will stay active if the structure is to be removed or worked on... maybe something for the CO to look into. TFTC!!
The structure is looking very worse for wear .... and covered in orange bunting .... so I wonder if this might soon be removed or replaced. No one about on a blustery day so this was quickly found! Thanks Ring Tales for the hide!!
Tried this last time we visited but muggles were enjoying the view. Easier pickings this time. Nearby playground is still a work in progress but the giant swings are back. Kids always enjoy this place
Mogni was in town, so that can only mean an evening of laughs and caching. The structure doesn't look like it has long to go. Nevermind...we got the cache. Thanks Ring Tales
Having spent many, many hours of my life here.... My father was a member of the tram museum I had a great chance to reminisce and tell stories of my childhood adventures.
I visited GZ with a previous finder. He pointed out that the cache was gone. The cache was replaced from the resources of the Pahero. The cache is now located 60cm south of GZ.
Didn't make it there on the weekend to replace the cache but got a log from DISK saying they'd found it.
Did not find this cache. Re-enacted the original photo and the space is definitely empty.
Had a good look around found where I reckon it should be some one had put money there but no cache.
Out for a paddle this afternoon and had a look for this one before heading home.
Spent way too long looking for something I couldnt find.

If this cache is hard to get for short people, then someone has moved it well away from it's original hiding place
Check the CO's picture.

A rat and a snake went a caching today. This was a quick find on our way out to the breakwater cache.tftc
Nice and quiet this morning to grab this one before heading to the breakwater SL TFTC
Geo - boyfriend spot the cache and today was a really muggle free area so it was easy find ! Nice place TFTC
OK so we must admit we thought we knew where to look and did so for a while why trying not to look too suspicious amongst the millions of muggles out today. In the end, we did manage to put our hands on the container but probably spent much longer on this than we should have. TNLNSL TFTC
Went for an early morning stroll along the foreshore with the geomutt and had the bonus of this nice smiley face reward. Like many others we see have logged this, we thought we knew possibly where it would be hidden as we approached and then began a fruitless search before Mrs TiedyeSmileys eventually looked in the right spot and had the cache in hand. Funny thing is looking back towards GZ as we left it, we could easily see the cache in plain view from that direction but were too focused elsewhere.

We had a seat right here before making the trek up the breakwater, and didn't realise at the time that there was a cache so close by!
On our way back to the park we obviously had to have another break and look for the cache. We found it almost immediately, but appears to be in a slightly different position to what the owner's spoiler picture shows.
TFTC!

Looked this structure over twice before we saw the cache [:o)].
How'd we miss that [|)][?]. Another case of 'The more we cache, the dumber we get [:o)].'

Thanks Ringtales.

Out for a day with Astro, Uni and Shonky to do the Nexy.
Found this one on the way home.
Neat hide.

Found at 2:02:00 PM with Astro, Uni and Waldron on a day out after riding on the NEXY. Came here for this cache and lunch. Thanks Ring tales
The perfect spot for a cache.
The perfect hide for the classic classic sized cache.
Nice work.
Clear skies to Ring tales from TeamAstro.

Checked up on the cache and it is still there. Have uploaded a photo of it's location if you get stuck.
Unfortunately couldn't find this one. We scoured the structure fairly well but it didn't turn anything up.
This was a good quiet place to hide a cache. It was about 3 metres off from the coordinates but still found it in an obvious place!! TFTC
Great hide. Meet another caching family while working on this one and with a little team effort, Granny was the successful finder. TFTC
Yet another cache published while I was stuck at work and unable to leave for well over an hour
Eventually I left and while still debating whether or not to head out to find this, I drove home, put the cache on my GPSr and then grabbed Brodie dog and went for a drive.
Loved the reflections out here on a clear night with just a small breeze
Took Brodie for a walk along the breakwater, until it became wet as the tide was high.
Loved the peacefullness and the *FTF* too
Coords were about 10ms out for me, however the hide was obvious, although using a somewhat unusual means of attachment. Please be gentle with this to avoid damaging the structure!
