Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement or an indication as to when this might take place

It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

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

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

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please. The cache has been temporarily disabled, to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed and also to remove it from search listings.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance)

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days, please** 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 30 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.

Located this find on my way to Fawkn Pa Ron. Thanks for the history. Well placed hide on a busy road.TFTC.

Great hide. Like the retractable!

Very delicate device the CO used! Very resourceful too! Found with Jason. TFTC

I've been walking past this one on my way to work for a while but there were always a few muggles around. Today the coast was clear for a few minutes. TFTC

Clever!

We originally found this one on 20/2/20 however we went on to finf it again to sign under our new team name. I remember finding this clever cache and then a bird flying to sit next to us and have a chat!

Yeah

Took me a few minutes to spot it then I had to play with my phone while waiting for the tram to leave. Shame the library is closed now.

TFTC

Saw this one but too many muggles about to get it out!

Funny looking cache, so it took a while to realize that it's actually a cache, tftc!

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Thanks goodness … no muggles around here today.
Found it nicely.
TFTH

We had to go into South Yarra for a meeting so headed in a bit earlier to pick up a couple of caches as well. There was a few Muggles around and lots Muggle vehicles queued up on the road so a lot of stealth was required. We continued walking past GZ initially and it was Mr Pooky who made the find on the return journey. We signed the log between Muggles and were soon on our way again. The log is full and needs replacing. TFTC.

I am currently on a business trip to Melbourne visiting from Germany and have to Sunday to do some nice caching in this fine weather.

Thanks for pointing Out the library

quick find some new log paper inside cheers

Quick find! Cool history. Log needs some tlc. Sl TFTC

Yeee

Thankfully everything nearby was closed as i walked past about eight pm, so i could search unhindered.
The interesting contraption was soon discovered, and i added my name kind of, to the scrap of paper present.
This cache needs a log overhaul big time. I've seen past logs added to cache gallerys before, perhaps in order here..?
Thanks for creating a cache highlighting this important institute.

TFTC!

Found it, but log was full. Couldn’t sign.

Tftc

Quick find but ... reached for my pen and it wasn’t there. My treasured pen, a gift from UK family, was probably lost at the last find (about 200 km away). D’Oh!
The nice people at the Braille Library let me use theirs so the log was signed OK.
TFTC

We went for a walk during the morning and there was this cache in our way. At that time we didn't have a pen so we save it in our map to sign if after. It was during our afternoon walk to the park. With no muggles on foot around we logged the cache. The logbook is full and is it good if the owner could replace it.

Geocache n 560

While working in the city for the day, I thought I would leave early and collect a number of geocaches on the way.

My GPS seems to be about 35 meters out, saying I am standing in a building on the other side of the road, but looking at the satellite map, I went to the correct location. Not sure I found it in the correct spot but returned it as found after waiting for the tram to pass and take all the bystanders away.

Thanks for the cache Ska Kids

TFTC a cheeky little one

At the end of our first day of geocaching during our current holiday in Australia this was our last cache to search for. The cache was quickly spotted by torchlight and log book signed. Thanks so much for the nicely hidden cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Cheeky camo TFTC

Nice!

Nice easy find, not so easy grab though. Watched a lot of muggles j walking when there is a perfectly good pedestrian crossing here

Came back to try again just to figure out a pathway and a pathway mean 2 different things. Another sad face converted to a smiley.

Sadly this is no longer a braille library.

Nice hiding spot, very easy, can spot from footpath

Nice local urban find. Handy lit tram stop nearby for nighttime signing. Cleaned up some rubbish whilst there! TFTC

2nd find for the day

Quick and easy after the previous dnfs

Very nice and interesting place this cache was hidden.

However, just could not figure out where it was, must have been blind

Found it, but took me some minutes. TFTC!

In Melbourne for an extended weekend to see a show and do some caching.

Caught the tram 2 stops to grab this one.. hopefully the rain will stop soon! Thanks for the history.

TFTC

Quick little find. Tftc

Quick find, nice start to the day

13 Aug 2019: Streak Day #166/366 (1 March 2019 - 29 February 2020). A quick find in the dark, took a while to log this due to muggles, TFTC skakids.

What a quirky container. Saw this one fairly quickly but definitely muggle central . Thanks for bringing me somewhere new. Had no idea this was here. TFTC

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. Found on my way home, with a slight detour. Another nice and quick find.



My thanks for the cache, skakids.

22 July 2019 12:02 Quick and easy find. Another one for my detective badges. TFTC skakids TNLN SL

Not in the bushes

Found it

Used my hands, not my eyes

Tftc. Easy and quick grab

Lots of people around this area so had to be sneaky once I'd spotted it.tftc

Grub62 and I were out this way and decided to do a few caches in the area. A very clever hide. I haven't seen one quite like this before. But arriving at GZ I took a clue from the hint and thought I spotted something different/out of place. We replaced the logbook but it would not fit in the inner container. TFTC.

Bunadoorian and I were en route to St Kilda for a concert so decided to find a few around this area of Melbourne. I loved the placement of the cache. Thank you for bringing us here and the explanation of this building. Bunadoorian found it while I was waiting for my phones gps to settle. Loved the camo on this cache. Find 6 for today.

What am I supposed to spot??

Had to be sneaky to find this one. Cool building.

??

Found

Whew! Urban caches are stressful. Found safe and sound. Log is full.TFTC

Good little hide; thinking I would have to feel for it, but not the case. TFTC

The fifth of 6 caches on my South Yarra Circuit on a sunny Friday afternoon.

My dad had a job servicing the talking book machines here!

Cache was quickly spotted. Looked like it had a quirky mechanism option. Not sure if part was missing.

TFTC skakids

Clever hide

Found with raindoctor and Shuci in a sunny day!

Thanks Chihchungchou and Shuci. Lovely day out!

yep we found the cache thank you!
greetings team Sylmarke from the Netherlands

Found, great case but too many muggles around to write log.. TFTC

What a great hide. Too many muggles to sign but did find

Just logged my 300th cache! Found while enjoying 4 months in Australia, log is completely full but out for a jog and didn't have replacement material. Tftc.

Got it! Nice little cache

*2 Jan 2019, Found @1:35 pm, Find # 2355.*

Out caching with OzHockeyChick, Geo_Seek, CTheExplorer and sezzy2683 working our way through the quest series. Clever hide, very sneaky.

**Thanks to skakids for placing this cache.**

Clever spot, enjoying the company of my geo buddies

1:33 pm #6773
On a quest with jascat, Geo_Seek, Sezzy2683 & CTheExplorer, to find as many Quests as we can.
Cheers skakids

Found it quick and easy. Spotted from footpath

It ain't a brick, that's for sure

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:
Interesting historic location, thanks for showing it to me. Amazing how long ago people already had the idea for such a place. TFTC!

Easy find TFTC

It’s hard to get with the muggles around

Thanks for cache! Was looking and did't find it then I saw it.

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.

From the Fawkner Park I headed towards the caches in South Yarra. This was the first one enroute, TFTC!

?

Found It!
A quick find here after waiting for a break in the foot traffic...
TFTC

Nice hide! Great coordinates make this one a quick find! TFTC

Maybe easy but not as easy at night.

I improvised with the iPhone and soon had the aha moment.

Retreated and signed the log as a tram rolled past.

TFTC

Quick easy find

Yay I got it at least. Talk about muggle city, they are everywhere!!
I had to go back several times over the past few Weeks to locate the cache (which should have been a lot quicker and easier than I made it) I could never have a really good look because of so many muggles on each visit there. on one of my attempts I am positive l spotted another geocacher looking suspiciously for the cache and pretending to take photos while searching, I commented to her without giving away too much that I knew what she was up to but she just denied knowing what I was talking about.
Finally found it yesterday but there was so way I could grab it when ALL the muggles in the area seemed right on to me. This morning, being a Saturday I headed down there and this time made the snatch successfully as there was hardly anyone around.
This is an easy cache, (if you don't over think things like I did) a clever hide and as the clue states, visable from footpath and no need to go on garden or property.
TFTC

Woohoo!

First search for the day produced the goods. Feigned a phone call while searching in the wrong place for a while but spotted while pacing back. Stealthy extract, sign and replace were required but weren't too troublesome. Nice old building and odd little container.
TFTC.

Very cool! I dont think I got too many looks lol

Ignored the obvious spot and then admired something closeby. Cache soon in hand. TFTC

I spotted something not quite right. Turns out it was the cache.
TFTC skakids

+Wife spotted the cache as we walked up.
Thank you skakids

Great cache!

Good little hide. Had to use some stealth to retrieve but managed ok on a late Saturday afternoon. Thanks

Quick find
SL TFTC

Good cache!
It was really tricky.
Took a few couple of minutes
TFTC

Nice quick find in a busy area. Tftc

A clever little hiding spot! Thanks

Tricky hide. Almost missed it. Tftc

Nice and easy find. TFTC

High traffic area.. But Confusedsloth picked it up quickly.

Found this one quick! Log is full
