Greetings from Hong Kong!
Have a trip to Australia. Of course I seize some chances to find some caches along the places we visited.
Performed a search but found nothing. DNF.

Hi there skakids,
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention. You would have received an automated email from Geocaching HQ recently which explained what needs to be done.
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) .
**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.

Pretty sure this one is gone. Could not find anything and the previous DNF's confirmed it
Plenty of doggos out and about..nice walk whilst killing time at the hospital

Hmmm I think this will be a cache threat keeps me up at night. Second time looking in all the obvious spots but cannot see it anywhere. Upside, had a cute sausage dog come say hello. Thanks!
Spoke too soon. Took a look back after walking away and right there smiling back at me. Yaaass! Lid is missing but it’s coping fine. TFTC.
Grandpa Bruce lived in a government camp hereabouts for a few years in the 40's - his dad was a policeman stationed in East Melbourne, and permanent accommodation wasn't available. He remembers falling out of a tree. We don't know which one - there are a few around here. Anyway, this hide didn't require any contact with trees, and gave us 6 out of 6 for finds today - for us, that's a big day. Thanks skakids.
Today was the second day of this year's Open House Melbourne, and I was booked to visit Australia 108. Deciding not to drive and park, I used public transport, and made the most of my time near the CBD. On my way home I detoured to quickly grab this one. Nice easy find.
My thanks for the cache, skakids.

22 July 2019 11:40 I saw it first night dismissed it as too obvious. I read wrong. The lid is busted off but log is dry. TFTC skakids TNLN SL
A quick find and visible from afar. Container is damaged as previous finders have reported. TFTC
Thought it might be difficult with all the sports going in but we spotted it as we walked up to it, pretended to tie our slip on blunstons and signed it while sitting on the bench. The log is very full.
Found it. Took me a while because im apparently blind XD. No pen inside sadly will come back and sign another time.

After dropping passports at the Chinese Visa Centre last week, it was time for us to return and collect our passports and visas, so also time for us to pick up this cache, which we couldn't hunt for when we were here last week, thanks to a muggle who was sitting way to close to GZ for comfort and didn't look like moving any time soon.
Today, thankfully, GZ was clear and the only muggles we needed to worry about were passing by. We chose to sit pretty much exactly where last week's muggle had been sitting while we waited for the traffic to thin out. The iPhone was showing GZ to be seven metres (+ or - 10) from where we sat, but turned out to be only two metres, so pretty good coords.
Apart from a missing lid the cache is in good condition.

RGSBruce and I were here last week to apply for visas to travel to China, after which we had come to Fawkner Park to hunt for a few caches, including this one. Sadly last week, a muggle had taken up residence on the bench near GZ and had seemed to take out a long-term lease. Not having much time, we didn't bother hunting then, so today we were back to have a go.
Fortunately the bench was vacant today, so we took up residence long enough to confirm where the cache was hidden then retrieve it. After out little rest, the cache was quickly found.

This is one of those that muggles see everyday without noticing it. But nice and easy for even a half experienced cacher.
Thanks
Thanks
Grub62 and I were out this way and decided to do a few caches in the area. We were hunting around the wrong location for a while before we located the prize. A new log sheet was supplied. TFTC.
Bunadoorian and I were en route to St Kilda for a concert so decided to find a few around this area of Melbourne. what a lovely park. We have driven past here a few times but have never been in. Bunadoorian had his geosenses working well today. Cache was missing a lid and a new log sheet added. Find 3 for today. TFTC skakids
Nice easy find but might need a new log sheet soon, current one is a bit tattered. Tftc!

Cache 4960 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.
Thanks skakids for the cache and the fun!

These quests are adding up. My iPhone is leading me in some funny directions but counting down the distance is most successful.
Found without much difficulty.

This turned out to be my last find for tonight. Had planned to clear out the area by got distracted with uni work and chatting with a fellow cacher. I shall return. Tftc!
Found with raindoctor and Shuci! Going to try my first Polish meals in my life!
EXCELLENT hiding spot!! Managed to sleuth it from under all the muffled noses... thanks!
I love it when a cache provides you with a great picnic location. We had a spectacular view on a starting helicopter and a nice picnic while singing the logbook. TFTC!
Crawled around everywhere as it was surprisingly quiet but couldn’t see it anywhere. Next time...
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:
A quick pickup here at probably the only sensible magnetic spot. Signed in and moved on the next on in this lovely park. 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!
Greetings from the Dutch.

This one took us way longer than it should have. Sometimes it pays to not overthink. After a search and not coming up with the goods, we sit down and did a rethink.
We looked again at what we had first thought was an obvious place and lo and behold we soon had the container in our hands.
Simple but clever!
Thanks

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!
