I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement, therefore the listing is being Archived.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter the environment with Geotrash.

The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported. Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [here](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send your email via my profile - (Bunjil,)[https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K] and quote the cache name and GC number.

Need maint. Out with the Swaggies. Find 1337 at 26 October 2016 3:53 PM
 
26-Oct-16
We found your cache tucked under the lip of the concrete slab. By the look of the camo, it was not meant to be there. Magnets also have come loose. We left our mark and hid it where we thought it should have been.

Nice and easy. Thanks!
 
24-Jul-16
I needed a cache that started with 8 for a challenge cache, the challenge being to have found caches that start with each letter and/or number in your caching name. Despite having found over 1300 caches, I don't have one starting with 8! These are few and far between, but this one was in striking distance, at least, within striking distance assuming you have one and a half hours spare to be able to drive there and back. Luckily today I did, and once there, the cache was an easy find. TFTC!
 
17-Jul-16
Came back with geopuppy to collect the trackable and left a few trinkets
 
16-Jul-16
Good find thanks Geos
 
12-Jul-16
Cache has been replaced with a slightly bigger container (thanks Aldi!), a new log and I have left a trackable which I brought back with me from England - I'd be grateful if someone could move it on.

Also in the cache is josiejae's necklace which was rescued from the last cache container.

It's a full house in there so remember to bring your own pen!
 
11-Jul-16
Found this on the ground this morning, fortunately intact but someone's removed a vital magnet. It will be returned to service tonight but I have taken it away for some repairs.

Caching in the area today with an ex local made it a little easier getting around and his memories of the surrounding areas made for some interesting talking points as we made our way around gathering some smilies. We managed a quick park and grab with this one, Thanks Blanksy for the hide, I have played this game many a time when I was much younger and never noticed the green beret had cleavage!!

Field instruction manual (aka the logbook) is severely damaged and in need of replacement by military HQ
 
02-Feb-16
** ok, might as well go in theme Wink ***

Green Beret Jammalees SITREP 02 FEB 2257 hours...

2100 hrs... I was on an incursion into enemy territory when I came close to the coordinates for this rendezvous site.
2105 hours...Approached from the east with extreme caution just as night was falling, using my armoured vehicle (aka Prado 1) as cover. I managed to secure a park right on top of Ground Zero.
2110 hours...Went to make the grab but Bogeys everywhere in armoured vehicles... I ducked and ran for cover.
2112 hours... A second attempt had the ordinance in hand safely ensconced in Prado 1. However I can report some damage to the asset - they field log sheet is torn and badly in need of replacement.
2115 hours... I did what field repair I could with my military kit, ducked out of Prado 1 in a gap between bogeys and replaced the package.
2125 hours...Safely made it back through the enemy blockade at the Yarra River and had Prado 1 back in friendly territory...

It was a nice day to be out and about with my boys, to enjoy the nice weather during a bit of a cache run today. We all had a great time visiting some cool locations and some parks, where the boys would have a play before heading off to the next location.

[red]Find #2905 Traditional #2296 [/red] Big Grin

I was up at the crack of dawn today to make my way over to this side of the bay to grab a few caches and complete the Geo Yak series. I had a great day out even with the ordinary weather. I was lucky with no wind after a windy day was forecast. A little rain around early in the morning. This one was a quick find for me today. Stamped and returned as found.

[blue]Thanks for this trad cache, Blanksy [^]
Log and container in good condition. Smile
Took Nothing, Left Nothing [/blue]

Pretty straightforward. Although having arrived in the daytime I did myself faking a very long telephone conversation while a huge bunch of people from a just a couple of doors down decided to chat interminably on the footpath before parting ways. Thanks Blanksy!
