Too much DNF ️

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

----------

Even though the 'Needs Archive' log is not appropriate in this instance (there is no proceeding NM log), it would seem that this cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention.

Therefore I am logging a Needs Maintenance log and hopefully the owner will take the opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary, before it genuinely comes to the attention of a Reviewer.

'ShannonPC' advised by email of 'Needs Archive' Guidelines and protocols.

We checked out the rocks and checked out trees. Wouldn’t have minded a better clue please

Almost a year to the day since this has been found. With hypodermic needles lying around I feel it may be time for CO to confirm if this is still here. TIA

After a while searching we decided to move on after seeing all the DNF. We dont believe it has been muggled however, we think this is a very clever hide that just eluded us today with our narrow time frame! We shal return for our smiley!

Hhhm. I really don't know..

So many rocks, and the hint sis not help much.

Sadly a DNF had to be logged

Rocks! Needles... Haystacks... pointless search, lazy hide. Needless to say, we gave up quite quickly.

Sadly this one has eluded me today. I’ve had quite a good hunt.

Found it - great, creative cache. But it was full of water. Log book too wet to sign. Covered over but this will need some maintenance. TFTC

TFTC skakids. Nicely camoed. Alas the log is a bit damp. Dried the inside with a tissue. Should be ok for a while but suggest a bit of maintenance sometime. Jjmmytherat.

The kids loved this cache

Great camo! I like the originality. TFTC

Awesome cache and camp! Made up got not finding the other round the corner. Log is quite soggy so I wrapped it in a leaflet I had in my bag to try and give some protection. Giving this a favourite

Down from Sydney for a couple of days. Made this grab on my long evening post dinner stroll. Initially I was looking in the wrong spot but realised my error move on and quickly spotted the very nicely camo’d cache. TFTC SkaKids

Not sure what’s happening with my device tonight, it keeps spinning and just being weird. So I decided to check somewhere with rocks by the street, but there was just rubbish.
I checked again and it had settled, 16m west... this looks more likely! Lots of hiding places here but I soon found the well camouflaged cache, thanks skakids!

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

When I need inspiration a skakids cache often hits the spot and this was right on target. Love this style!

TFTC skakids

Nice camo but quick find since I just happened to look straight at it . Log is dry now but has been quite damaged by water at some point...

Very clever little hide! The log is quite wet and mouldy though. Thanks

Today some cache found in another district of Melbourne. TFTC greetings from the Netherlands team Sylmarke.

I surprised myself by zeroing in on this one immediately in spite on the good hiding place.

Out caching with OzHockeyChick, Geo_Seek, CTheExplorer and sezzy2683 working our way through the quest series. Clever cache and hide. Great camo. This one gets a favourite point from me.

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

Very clever camouflage. Great company. Thanks for bringing Us here

On a quest with jascat, Geo_Seek, Sezzy2683 & CTheExplorer, to find as many Quests as we can.
I like the camo on this one. A fav point here.
Cheers skakids

Beautifully disguised cache. Nice work. Soggy log. TFTC

Good spot, wet it is, more so after flooding rain of past few days. TFTC

I was visiting this area for a work event. After an earlier than expected finish, I went for a walk in the heat to look for a few caches. There were a few workers near GZ but they were more interested in their phones than me. This was a well hidden cache, but unfortunately the log was rather wet. TFTC

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. The logbook was totally wet, but I tried to write my name in it anyway, TFTC!

Spotted immediately despited the nice camo. I;m impressed that this has survived here so long! Log very wet - I managed to get my name on it, but I suspect it won't last for long - definitely needs a plastic bag. TFTC

Well this certainly turned into an interesting experience.

As I arrived at GZ a lady decided to do laps of the nearby track.

Great middle aged man in the bushes at night with torch was not a good look!!

She had not spotted me so far so I timed my look every time she had run past.

Eventually found the camo.

Nicely done.

Great hide in a nice little suburban park.
Great camo. TFTC

After being muggled out on a maintenance check of a cache of mine, I decided to make the trip worthwhile...and this cache did that for me. I really like the container! Not where I first looked, but I soon had the container in hand. Thanks for another in your great series, skakids.

With an afternoon to spare and a desire to have a decent walk I chose an Area not to far away with a cluster of caches and set about grabbing some of the quest series...20,000 steps later....well I found the container...but it was empty, I found a piece of paper to make a new log. Tftc

Love the camouflage. TFTC

Quick find. Good description, nice hide. Tftc

Nice little park. Saw the cache straight away thank goodness. TFTC

Great cammo - you get a favourite point from me.
Out and about for a quick run. Working at F1GP

This one took some time to find! Cool cache, thanks!

Great Camo! Quick find, first cache back after a long break

I love this Camo! Nice little Spot.

Greytiger and I got it quickly, a well made cache. TFTC.

Good hide found quickly, amaali and I are on a roll we hope it continues.

Love the camo thanks for the cache

Nice quick and easy find on the way home in between rain showers.
A fascinating park with an interesting history.
TFTC

My first Australian find, nice spot in a sunny day

The first cache I have found in Australia! TFTC

My final - and favourite - find for the day. Was in South Yarra for some last minute Christmas shopping, but the highlight of the day was traipsing around these back streets and finding some really good caches. Thanks skakids!!

Found this quicker than I expected in this great little park

Great cache. Hidden well. Took about 10 minutes to find it

Yay i cant believe i had found it... i came back up to melbourne today and it was the first one i hit. Looking at the area and the hint nothing made sense to me plus where i thought it was, was just not suitable for me to get my wheelchair in there. So i sat looking at my phone to hit the next one i was just about to leave when i had an idea so after some manoeuvring and getting out of my wheelchair i actually had the cache in hand i couldnt believe it.. holy cow... very proud i was able to get this one as i didnt think i would be able to.

Found after a bit of a search tftc .

Found while visiting Melbourne for work for a few days. Tricky hide and well constructed container had me pondering for a while but got it eventually. Thanks for the cache skakids!

Attempted. Got my wheelchair in places that i shouldn't have been able and spent more time extracting me and my wheelchair than looking. Maybe next time when i bring someone ill find it

It was difficult but I got there and I had a ball it was amazing I found it let's get it

TFTC!

TFTC!

Found at 13:29
Back for another look after a dnf a long time ago. Found pretty quickly this time but I did have to wait for a smoking muggle to move on.
Thanks skakids for the cache. Very nice camo.

We approached from the north, through the apartment building complex and were admiring the gardens both in and outside the buildings. After our youngest spiderling, now freed from his stroller, took a faceplant into the rocks (he's fine, just clumsy beyond belief), the elder spiderling and I made the find of a creative container. Happily signed, we were on our way for more. TFTC skakids

Great cache
TFTC

Rode my bike to this one and waited while a guy walked past with his dog. Had a look around, checked hint, had a look around, thought more about hint, had a look and found the cache.
Nice camo. Nice cache. Nice park.
Thanks skakids

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I have got a nice streak going and hoping to let it run for as long as possible. I usually cache on my own but sometimes I will collect my nephew stinky bob and my brother stinky tom who both enjoy this hobby.
A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Temporary log

Coordinate 2 metres of, took me few minutes this one! Tftc

Found on an Autumn caching walk through the laneways and footpaths of Prahran and South Yarra.

Has it been that long since I first took up the Quest? It seems like only yesterday that I was wandering in the rain, but nearly four years have passed...

I thought I might get muggled out of this one, as the locals were still enjoying their Sunday... But needn't have worried, as the closest wandered off as I got my bearings. Besides, it's a good spot for a snack break.

Nice work on the camo. It's always great to see a decent sized container in the inner suburbs.

Thanks, skakids... It's good to be back.

Tried a couple of spots before finding the correct one. Neat container and TFTC skakids

Today i Made a cachingtour in Melbourne and I found this cache. Greets from germany

Plenty of windows over looking the gz, but taking a seat to rest the sore feet enabled me to search the likely place for the cache. Log signed and returned without incident.
Thanks for the cache skakids

At a bit of a loss for something to do today, so messaged sedgwickDave and he was up for a mini cache run, so off we went for an afternoon of fun. The sun was shining, so why not? Most of the caches were found with no problems, with a couple having us scratching our heads.

This one was my favourite container of the day hands down. Really well done. Oh and a quick find.


**Thanks to skakids for the cache. TNLN. **

Out on an urban run today with ahomburg finally on the hunt for more caches in this great series. Nice container & hide. Wow best camo yet.

TFTC skakids

I'm in Melbourne for a month or so. My mate is in hospital for surgery, and I've come down as support for him and his wife for the procedure and its aftermath. I am getting ready for medicals myself, and am on a diet and a 10,000 steps a day regimen. What better way to make the steps interesting than to find geocaches along the way. Day 15 of 10,000 steps. Caching day twelve. Cache no 1 today.

I was so impressed with the Quest series yesterday that I am going to hunt down more of them today. I'm going for the second block to the east of Fawkner park. There are a couple of non-quest caches around as well.

Nice park. I spoke to a nice dogs, and a couple of mums and toddlers before claiming the cache.

Another quick easy find while killing time before a movie! Great camo! TFTC TNLNSL.


Side note logbook almost full.

2 spaces left in log. Very good cammo.

SisterCorny travelling Asia and Oceania for four month, stopping over in Melbourne for a couple of days after returning from NZ.
Day2 of our stay in MEL, today we walked from Richmond through South Yarra to St. Kilda, very different neighbourhoods, but all three great and very nice caches on the way. In the brilliant weather we had great fun exploring the city and finding hidden boxes...
Very nice camoed container in this hidden park... Easily found but worth a FP for the hiding! TFTC

Cool camp. Tftc

Find #1030

Out for a bike ride today on the quest around the area. Had a good streak of finds until I made it to the other side of Chapel St and then the time of day and muggle made me retire earlier than anticipated. thanks for all the effort in this series skakids!

Lots of nude sunbathing going on in the park today! Glad I didnt have to stick around too long as they werent the backpacker type of sunbathers like at St Kilda! haha

Found it! Nice spot

I found this one on a magnificent morning on the way to work. Weather so good you would almost forget it was Monday. Almost. tftc

Back in Melbourne and I wanted to continue the Quest series. After spending a bit of time in the area getting a coffee and some food, I thought I'd find this cache. Sat down in the sun and immediately spotted something. Yes, the cache! Creative and such a good spot! Thank you!

Found by Team Ninja 29/11/16, find number 941.
I had the day off work so I went into the city to finish off my Christmas shopping. I used to work in Richmond and I knew there were a lot of caches in South Yarra, so I detoured via the area to complete a few of the Quest series.
There were a few muggles having lunch over the other side of the park but the bushes gave me enough cover to find this excellently camouflaged cache. What a lovely place for a rest as I continued my tour of South Yarra. TFTC skakids!

Beautiful day for going after a couple of caches, took a little while to locate the right area and upon the find discovered my GPS was off by a decent amount. Beautiful modern park on a great day and some awesome cache engineering and camouflage that fits right in.
TFTC

Found in second crevice I spotted ! Great cammo as usual skakids !
Quickly signed before muggles walked past !
Not looking at all dodgy on my rock ! Lol !

#716 Ninteenth of twenty three finds on a mostly wet, windy and cold day caching around suburban Melbourne. Found after a short search. TFTC

With a couple of hours to kill between finishing a nightshift and an appointment in St Kilda Rd, I decided to grab a couple of caches. Finding a carpark was the hardest part, but once I'd managed that, I decided to walk to the three in this vicinity.

This was a nice easy walk from the previous one, and good coords revealed a very cleverly cammoed container. Hadn't seen this method before, loved it.

Fave added, thanks again skakids

Got a park close by and Geokid found this on our day in SoYa- South of the Yarra . I haven't seen this part of town in about a decade. Needless to say it's changed a bit..! Clever camo. Tftc

Oops, found this one a while ago and forgot to log. Great cache, cheers.

Tftc another clever camo

Aum found it after about 5 minutes of searching. Her first find!!!

Yoo hoo! I'm back after my slight diversion to other caches... And I stick with skakids caches the rest of my time out today... So let us continue... I wandered down to here - wondered why I hadn't done a slightly different order, but that's just me and my slightly challenged sense of direction. I liked this one - one I call a "classic skakids". It was a nice easy find but not because it wasn't well hidden, but because I have done enough to know what to look for. I've stuck a well deserved fave point in:)

Nice little park and awesome cache, took a little while to find until I gave in and checked the hint. TFTC

Madlyinthewoods + Samuel_woods.

Left an army man

Found it.

With a big day planned for the St Kilda area with Na'wal and DAB, we set off from Geelong in the early hours of the morning while it was still dark heading for our main targets...the Quest series. It was a fun day zipping around the suburbs finding the various hides , enjoying a laugh or two as we went. Having 4 people in the car came in handy when driving around the narrow streets , 1 driving, 1 navigating and 2 in the back to jump out when a park wasn't available.
A favourite for the clever container.
Thanks skakids for the sneaky hide.

** Smile # *3727* / Traditional # *2896* **

DAB, theTritonz and myself had a big day planned up and around the St. Kilda area. We set off from Geelong in the early hours of the morning before the sun had risen. Our main goal for the day was to complete the Quest series. Another great, fun day out with awesome company [^] and some great caches found.
Took a few moments to locate this one. And not easy finding a parking place. Good container. Signed and replaced as found.

**Thanks for this trad cache, skakids** [^]
**A favourite from me**
**Cache container and log good**
**Took Nothing, Left Signature**

Today I joined forces with the teams of The_Tritonz and Na'wal. We have had our eyes on this area for a while, which included the Quest series. A full day was enjoyed caching in this beautiful part of Melbourne. We found some very clever hides and enjoyed a lot of laughs. Thanks to all of the co's for your effort in placing these caches. TFTC skakids

Cool camo
