This one has disappeared

### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. Perhaps it is time for the CO to check on this one please.

I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Your prompt attention to logs that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers. It is generally accepted that 3 consecutive DNF's is reason enough to check, see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance )
Please respond to this situation by ** 1st October** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Another extensive search again today with no luck... found plenty of bottles and the area is very wet

No chance this overgrown and gps everywhere

Checked every where no where to be seen

Got to GZ but had time restrictions and couldn't be bothered searching through these plants for it so next time when I have more time

Quick find at 10:20. Grabbed clue for the final.

Tonight we were trying to decide which cache to get for our 366 days in a row. In the end we decided this one has eluded us long enough and we weren't leaving till we found it. After 3 previous attempts to of which we didn't even get out of the car due to muggles in the playground. After about 20 mins of searching we decided to use a PAF. And it turns out we to were looking on the wrong side. A quick adjustment and... Nope still no find. Our PAF rang to say they were just heading out and could come and help me. Just after i found the bloody thing. Quick ring and decided we would meet at a cache. Hope in the car to leave and.......bam. Car won't start. That's right some bright spark had left his door open which resulted in a flat battery. A quick call and jumper cables were soon to arrive. A quick jumpstart and we were set and ready to travel to next cache.

A big thanks to the sims family and to nevil devil for coming to the rescue tonight.

Log signed and replaced.

TFTC TNLN.

Headed down to Geelong to pick up a new set of golf irons, so just had to grab a couple of caches on the way home. Despite the good coords, this really is much harder than the diff 1 rating. Well, it was for me anyway.
My thanks to StreetTeam1 for another in your series

The gps was all over the place today, so this one kept us busy for a few minutes until we worked out we had taken the wrong approach. With that sorted we soon had the cache in hand. Log signed and cache replaced we were soon on our way again. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

After today's Event in Lara Nevile_Devil and I had a little time to kill before I had to pick up my daughter from work. All was quite so we were able to make a decent search and we came up with the goods after a short while. SL and continued on for the next find

Nice find

I've driven past this one many times so I though I'd get this one in on the new year before the day finished. Great hide, wish I brought gloves though! TFTC

Searched for a good 10 mins but it was getting to hot so I let it get the better of me today

Geocaching my way around the area after having attended the Melbourne Mega.
Enjoying the scenery and variety of caches.

TFTC

Got this one today (after a previous DNF) on a return visit to Geelong to celebrate my oldest nephew's wedding. Actually I felt it rather than saw it! Tricky in an area with many possible hiding places. Thanks for this cache StreetTeam1!

An easy one, ONLY if your gps takes you to the right place, otherwise you'll be looking for a while.

At first did not like this given we thought we needed a machete but read earlier logs and with a change of tactics geochild had the hide quick smart. Thanks. Silkyie

Great cache! Hint: in the grass.

Found it nicley.
Thanks StreetTeam1

I'm sure there must be a trick to this one, given the difficulty and terrain rating, but I couldn't work it out today. Moving along...

Searched for about 15 minutes without success. I couldn't stay longer as I had a meeting to attend at Deakin University. Will have to come back another time...

Grabbed this one with Ohm3 after a quick search. The last needed for the series ... Now off to the grand final ! TFTC !

Looked quite tricky at first but persevered and had cache in a few minutes. TFTC

A fairly straightforward but enjoyable. This took much longer than it should have. Finally found it when I came out of the jungle. TFTC StreetTeam1 and M&G clan.

Found on another caching adventure with Trailrunning, The long weekend meant more time for caching so we headed to Geelong for most of the finds,. Thanks StreetTeam1 for the cache.

Another public holiday on a Monday can only mean one thing, a day of caching with Rebel Acts. We have so many puzzles solved for the Geelong area that we thought a trip that way would be in order. The overcast day meant that the GPS's were playing up a little, pointing us here then there. Very difficult when we were searching for so many micro caches shoved in bushes. A few outstanding caches were found. Thanks for the fun. Had to come back here after earlier visit was unable to be attempted as kids were in the playground.

Found it

Found a couple of weeks ago sorry about the late log

Had to outwait a father daughter muggle pair enjoying the amenities! Can hardly argue with that! Left a geonickel and a kangaroo , took a peanut! SL, TFTC!

Brought the GeoKids along for this one. Unfortunately they put off another group of cachers.... hopefully they come back and can pick up the TB I dropped. TFTC!

Forth find for today, TFTC

Quiet quiet Easter Sunday, no ankle biters or mini muggles about made for easy and quick search. TFTC

nice easy find while my daughter was on swing

Trapping through the shrubbery lost and confused. Worker from across the road stopped in for tea break so took geodog around oval while waited, and had a think. Came back and tried again from different angle and found it. Geodog found a ball, so gives this cashe 4 paws up. TFTC.

Had a bit of time left before heading to the airport. Less than 2km from where we staying so it seemed logical to check it out. Millions of snails in the grass...crunch crunch. TFTCSL

Found with bkj97.T4TCSL

With still a little time before brekky, we mosied on over here for a look in an attempt to open the account on this series. I initially approached GZ from the wrong side and was thinking about the need for a machete when a change of tack had me with the stash in hand at 07:50.

TNLNSL noted clue and our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks StreetTeam1 and M&G Clan.

We had the area tonight to ourselves as we searched for this hide with our torches. Yoshi Warriors soon found the cache and we gathered the clue for the series and set off on our way. The mozzies were getting a little to friendly anyway, tftc StreetTeam1,...btw, we had to return again a little while later and search the gz all over again as we had got to another cache and discovered YW had "lost" his brand new torch. We looked everywhere and after some looking and frantic feeling around and retracing our steps he eventually found it where it belongs, safe and sound in his caching back pack....and he's the brains of tonights expedition.

-In Geelong for some caching with Happy Pants. We were out to claim a few caches this tonight. This is ++the first of this series I've done. We had our torches out for this and the cache was soon found. Log was signed & we headed off to the next cache, only to discover my torch was missing. I was sure I'd taken it back to the car. I searched the car, couldn't find it. Returned to this cache again, still couldn't find it. Last place I checked was my caching backpack where the torch lives, I'm sure I didn't put it there??? TFTC StreetTeam1, I look forward to doing the rest of this series.

17:44
Following an enjoyable day at the Na'wal Zoo, this is one of the caches we were able to visit on our trip home. Another AFL cache to help us kick enough goals for the final.

Thanks to StreetTeam1 for the hunt.

The playground has a lot of visitors during the day, which has left us unable to hunt for the cache when we came through the area on previous occasions. Tonight was a good opportunity and we went in for the catch.
Now only the Swans are left to be found. Next year.

The third in this series found today. No problems accessing the cache though my initial approach was from the wrong side.
Another clue gathered for later.
Thanks StreetTeam1

On a day trip with 6hinemoa2 to complete 6 multis as part of a Challenge near Beechworth. We had lots of laughs, made lots of u turns and cursed quite a bit. Geelong is certainly multi heaven and we certainly found an assortment of multis.

Took some time to locate this one in overgrown garden but then 6h2 called the magic words. Also made this our lunch spot as the seat in the shade looked so inviting. Thanks for the cache StreetTeam1

Out in Geelong today chasing multis to complete a challenge for sorceysal. I was lucky enough to be able to have completed mine when in Eltham last week. We had a lot of laughs and fun tackling the challenges of 'multi heaven' in Geelong.
This was a little side teaser after which we stopped for lunch in the nearby shady park. Happy to have another number to add to the final co-ords.
TFTC StreetTeam1

A quick find today after being muggled out on a previous attempt. It's a good idea to pick your retrieval time for this one as the playground can get busy. Slowly working our way up the ladder with this series.

Fortunately all was quiet at the playground and although iI approached from not the best angle, the cache was soon to hand, thanks.

Found by The Empire with tackle_head & sully1.
Wet and getting wetter. Cache was in good condition though. Thanks for the cache StreetTeam1.
- M

The first of this AFL series for me today, in the company of tackle_head, plus one and The Empire. I'll need to return to Geelong again soon for the rest. The rain just wasn't wanting to stop, which was a shame considering it's December Nevertheless The Empire soon called the magic words once we had accessed the correct way in to GZ. Thanks to StreetTeam1 for the hide.

Found this cache in no time thanks to spot on coords and it being a muggle free area this am! Nice little park. 4 in the great series completed now - good series taking us to some interesting places.
TFTC StreetTeam1 and your notes

No Kids around and no sporting activity, so was able to search ythe likely spots without interuption. TFTC

Found with Wozzle68 on our way to Geelong to collect Chunk's boat motor after a service. Took us a little while looking in all the wrong places, but persistence, and reading the previous logs, paid off. TFTC.

Looked in the wrong spot like most others found in the end so all is good hehe. Found with chooknchunk on a day out in Geelong tftc

I'm slowly ticking the caches off in this series. Searched in the wrong spot at first then moved around to make a quick find.
Thanks for the Cache SreetTeam1

Quick find on a cool blustery evening. A little different to the temperatures yesterday. GeoKid had a quick play while the cache was retrieved. TFTC

Moderately easy find

Well, nothing about this cache went to plan . When it was published I was miles away so FTF was not an option. Next, I realised that it was located quite close to a hide I was considering placing myself.
Oh well, I could still find it and claim the smiley, right? Well, maybe. I was out for a fairly long walk and thought I'd incorporate finding this cache into my route. It shouldn't take long.
So I put the plan into action and headed for GZ, (which by the way, is a place I know particularly well having spent many freezing hours here during the season as the Geomonkey is a "Roosterette"). In earlier days, the Geoboys also spent many hours on this playground waiting for training to finish, but I generally gave it a miss.
Until now. Today, I headed over and had the place to myself as I began to search in, out, under, behind - in fact everywhere that the cache was not and even on a couple of occasions, right where it was without spotting it . Time ticked by and I kept looking. I read logs but wasn't quite sure which way to take the comments. Then, I was almost muggled out by the appearance of a bunch of kids from the school on the hill no doubt participating in the "Bushwhacked" PE unit which the Geomonkey also took a couple of years ago. Fortunately they didn't hang around long and I was back to the search.
Finally, after shooting off a quick PAF, I managed to find the little blighter on my own before a reply was forthcoming. Like others, I was not keen on this type of location and also like others, I ended up pricked, poked and prodded far more than I anticipated when I set out to search for this cache, but with the log eventually signed, it was off to continue my walk on a pleasantly sunny spring day.
Thanks StreetTeam1 !

Like Na'wal before us, we started on the wrong side , not thinking it was in There, but after a lot of pricks and pokes we decided to widen our search. After a few minutes we had the cache container in hand and were able to sign without anymore prodding from sharp vegetation.
TFTC

No better way to fill in a lazy Sunday arvo than finding a few caches. Took a bit longer than anticipated, eventually found the hide. Another hide in or near a playground....hmmmm, not a fan of these type of hides. TFTC StreetTeam1.

[red]Find #1689[/red]

After work today a cache was needed to cheer me up from the chaos of the work day. This was the closest on tbe radar. Lucky for me no muggles in sight so the search area was mine. I started on the wrong side, moved around and collected this find quickly. I remembered to get the clue this time unlike the last

[blue] Thanks for this cache Street Team 1 & the series, only a few to go [/blue]

Another one of those that I would normally take the grandkids with me to do not a lover of these types of places TFTC

Another of those hides we are not to fond of but luckily the area was deserted today. So with no muggle activity a very quick find was made. That four down and four to go. TFTC

Ditto Bushfires log...tftc

Quite an easy pick up but I too forgot the clue and had to return. I must say I am not a great fan of caches near playgrounds, luckily today I was there alone. Thanks to StreetTeam1 for the cache.

This area is one that I have never been to before and as I am out to finish all the Monopoly and AFL-Series today this was the another find today and after a little search there was the container just waiting around to be found. I like the previous finders don't like caches in or near playgrounds and there are so many other spots to place a cache.
Very quiet out here today with not a sole around so that was fine by me.

Out caching with geordiefamily and roadrunner. Out on a cold August night trying to knock off as many of these as we could. We had an enjoyable night with lots of laughter. Apologises for the late log.

Great work on the series which now seems to be archived.

TFTC

Cracking through these AFL caches.... TFTC

found but forgot the clue, had to go back! with dbelco and roadrunna! !

Suscoe was headed out and about Geelong today and a quick stop here on the way to somewhere else was made.
Took the right way in and the cache was soon located, oh how Suscoe dislikes that stuff!!!!
Thanks to StreetTeam 1 for another cache in this series and the last for us, series completed.
Time to do something else now for a while.

FTF 8.59. oh dear, how i wish id logged this one onsite and not had to return to log it, as now i note darth brijl has noticed that and is waiting for my log and details on my events here. well to start a long story that im sure not many of you will be interested in, but im sure will amuse some, and will certainly amuse darthy, who i must say was the hero of the hour in the long run. arrived at gz and as geokid was navigating, had us pull in to the main gate and drive round the back. a quick jog across the oval when i came to the dead end (yes i do run sometimes), saw us at gz and not a soul in sight, yes. found cache quickly and log was signed. as i was signing i noticed a familiar car pulling up some distance away and knew darth was close on my heels. signed the log and replaced cache quickly, crawled further along out of sight and popped my head up way past gz locale, so as hopefully to make him look in the wrong spot for a bit as im a bit or a b**** like that and those who know me will confirm no doubt. anyway ran out the gate with a seeya, but knew this was going to be my last cache for the series as he had come in the opposite direction and grabbed all bar leopold and of course the final. i wasnt about to drive all that way out as i had lots to do before heading out. anyway so headed home. all good, when geokid said she'd dropped something where id parked the car and begged me to go back. so back we went, item retrieved and i reversed to get back out. i dont know what possessed me to drive back to where i did, and as im often reminded i dont have a 4wd anymore (i swear ill get another one for my next car). well the grass was wet and i drifted. tried to pull forward but ended up going further back and could feel the car sinking and sliding. geokid got out to check and i could see by the look on her face this wasnt good. she came back with pictures and yes she was right, it wasnt good. big drop drainy thing behind me, with about a meter spare and a wooden fence if the drain didnt get me. aha i thought, chris (darth) is about the area, so the call went out help im stuck as i sat literally shaking and letting out a few swear words. i had ordered geokid out of the car and out of the way. message was sent to my friend alchey as i had a feeling a push was in order and i thought it might take a bit of brute force and a tow too and a couple of guys to do it. told him to wait for chris to let me know what was needed, and with no tow rope he was sure he could push the mammoth valente up the hill on the wet grass. i was doubtful and after a few unsuccessful attempts, further swear words, which shocked geokid as she never heard me swear before, and some well placed pieces of wood and direction from my hero of the hour, i was out of there. thanks for the video of the event geokid and the offers of help from alchey and the brute force from darth. thanks for the ftf from the CO and the comment from geokid that the mascara of all things she dropped was nearly empty anyway!!!!! nice to let me know that after i wasted time and all that happening in going back! went home to compose myself, have a tripple shot coffee and calm my nerves. so my plans of quick finds and escape in my dirty washing were thwarted. lesson to self...do not treat this car like a 4wd as it does not have the same capabilities. again thanks to the lovely people who offered to help and chris for helping and not getting squashed behind my car.

Pull up to GZ and see nobody here thinking I have the whole place to myself - WRONG! just as I'm 15m from GZ up pops geordiefamily with a cheeky grin and a 'Seeya!'
D'oh! Beaten again!

Clue noted and off to the next one in this great little series!
Also had to return here about 30mins later but I'll let geordiefamily elaborate on that Hehehe

Thanks StreeTeam1 for the cache
Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face
