I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement, therefore I have no option but to archive the listing.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include **GC Number and Cache Name**) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

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 our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore 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.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when a seeker reports a problem with the cache.

Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, have a read here: [Cache Maintenance Guidelines.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) The guidelines advise; **if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can.** This Help Centre article tells you how it can be done; [Temporarily Disable and Enable.]( http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 )

**Please respond to this situation within 28 days - so as 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 indicating how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned and archived without further notice.

**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 DNF for this. Not sure if it is still here?? CO will need to check, as a 1.5 difficulty with a straight forward hint shouldn't have so many recent DNF's.

We are adding to the DNF list here. Certainly worth a check by the CO.

Looked with a previous finder... No luck...

The series should be checked out to make sure they are all there. This one has had a few DNFs lately.

Another DNF for today. Not a good win-loss ratio, but it happens sometimes. Thanks anyway DudleyDaDog. I enjoyed watching all the doggies nearby.

Five sets of eyes couldn't find it. Off to the next before it rains!

Please check think it was muggled

Poked around but no success on this one today. A lot of muggles around this area

Tried looking for this one, but there were a few people on their afternoon walk. Eventually got a gap and looked in some likely stops, but couldn't come up with the goods.

We found this cache on an afternoon Easter Monday caching adventure in Werribee.

Found it, log book is wet t4tc

Found

All a bit damp. Had nothing but a pen to sign.

A bit wet inside container but good find.

Easily spotted. TFTC. 11/03/2016, 11:00 Find #1590

Enjoyable little find. Defiantly worth doing these tracks again on a bike. Tftc.

Found and logged. Cache has been wet inside. Log bog still dry tho.

Tfth

Found it

Out for a bike ride on a nice day. T4TC

While we chose to ride our bikes around this series, there were quite a lot of dawgs out walking their owners today, not quite sure if any of them were actually named Dudley! Our second stop and another quick pick-up in a very peaceful setting.

Sighted Trackables:
- Dogs Abound (TB6W4G9)
- Venus5 (TB6E7BG)

Our thanks to DudleyDaDog for bringing us to this location.

I travelled up the highway from Geelong to do a party drop off for Geoboy #1 and decided to grab a few caches before heading home. I'm always up for a stroll along the pretty Werribee River and as these caches have been regularly popping up in my notifications for a while now, I thought I'd have a look.
This was my first find of the morning as picnicking muggles were a little too close for comfort at #1. On a rather warm day, I made it to GZ without encountering any of the local wildlife and made a quick find.
Thanks DudleyDaDog !

good 1

Lovely spot where the river looks fresh and inviting and a number of dogs were having a great time retrieving sticks from the water. We waited until the coast was clear, sign log, took TB and dropped off a TB. TFTC DudleyDaDog

Hey still here, on to number 2 and this is a pretty place and I can see why the muggles like to come to this place with there dogs.
We came to the next and this is where we came across a couple of men playing with there dogs swimming in the water, we sat and watched the dogs going in and out of the water playing with sticks and just running around madly enjoying themselves.
The reason why we were sitting as GZ had to be in Stealth again, just as we through we were safe to retrieve the log along came more muggles, we could not do anything but to have a bit of a laugh and have some fun just like every other muggle, waving and being friendly, saying "Hello" with smiles on there faces some holding hands and some throwing balls, some just laying around in the park, Geo-husband was enjoying climbing around the trees and rocks, what a day we had, Thanks DudleyDaDog
TFTC

Doggie swimming hole! I pulled out some snacks as coverage while the muggles threw sticks in the water for the dogs to retrieve!

Found with Mrs Blue Duck on a lovely day's caching expedition. Really enjoying the area and quality of the caches. TFTC. Everything good with this cache. On to the next!

Cousin dropped tb's off for me.

Last one for the day, it's heating up out here real quick

Find #2182. Found @ 23:34 with AmethystPig

We made the trek to the area to try our luck rocking out with Ross Wilson and the lads, but it was not to be. To console ourselves we went for a walk to grab the DudleyDaDog walk in the park series.

I scored a second find in a row by getting to this one first. I spotted it from just the right angle on approach.

I'm never quite sure whether something is about to go horribly wrong when blindly stuffing my hand in strange places. So far, so good.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache DudleyDaDog

Found at 2330 on a night caching stroll with SirJ-Oz. The most likely hiding spot proved to be the right one, making for a very quick find. All was well with the cache - thanks DudleyDaDog.

Please see notes at 'A walk in the park with DudleyDaDog 1' which relate to the entire series.
Thanks again

I have had my eye on this series since publication. Today being my RDO , it was the perfect opportunity to collect some smilies !! With the sun shining and a cool breeze blowing, I jumped on the bike and headed off. There were a ton of muggles with there 4 legged friends here today. Thankfully I wasn't disturbed in my searching. A very picturesque journey along the river was my reward. Thanks for showing me an area I had never visited before. TFTC DudleyDaDog

Another P366 day here.

After work I ducked down for a fairly quick find.

On the verge of sunset not many walkers around.

I signed and moved on.

TFTC

Again took a few minutes and then while marking the log a wet nose hit my face! Panic to return the rather large box, but his carer didn't appear 'in time'. Quick pat and on to the next one. T4TC

I was in the neighborhood wasting my time on an unfindable cache. I should have just taken this virtual walk with Dudley! Thanks for the series!

Ahh, the sound of running water.. Quick find , sign and return. TFTC now if I hurry along I might get a couple more done.

Made it to this one quite easily, even with one daughter on crutches. She managed the paths quite well, but chose to stay back from the more challenging bushy areas. Kids are enjoying the larger containers full of lovely swaps. We realised later that these weren't strictly swaps, but are glad to have popped some extra bits in as there are a few little people in our family, and it would have been slim pickings for the next finder otherwise. TFTC!

Had to walk past and come back as I hit gz as a family was coming along. Easy find all good TFTC.

Found at 11:45am after a short search. We had been told by other dog walkers that there was a fenced off lead dog park ahead, so Shadow was looking forward to a run.

thanks DudleyDaDog

What a great series of caches, beautiful walking tracks and well maintained and stocked caches. TNLN. TfTC.

Second day walking this area with the Geo-pug and so another cache grabbed, winter rains make the area alittle muddy but still able to get the cache.

had a time limit for the dog walk so it was off home after finding this one

All in good order

thanks for the cache

can any previous visitors or next visitors email me a Very GOOD spoiler so a non cacher can drop off 2 TB`s in a few weeks time? They have gps on cameras to find it so any help would be great. Happy hunting.

The geokids were getting grumpy after spending a bit of time at the nearby playground but I managed to convince them to have a quick walk along this path to try and find some of the series. We only got a chance to look for 3 of them but they were very excited at the haul inside the caches and the fact that they got to pick something to keep. Thanks for the series DudleyDaDog

Decided to grab a few caches to edge that little bit closer to the magic 10k mark. These were on the long way home after a nightshift in Melbourne enroute to Bacchus.
Glad I smuggled Tess the Geodog in to work too, as she enjoyed the run here of this terrific series of good sized caches. I jumped on the bike and we were on our way.
Glad I took the low road on the bike, as it took me straight to this great old tree
My thanks to DudleyDaDog for the series

Enjoyed the walk along the Werribee River on a lovely winters day with many other walkers and bike riders .
Enjoyed the caching fun and being here .
Tftc DudleyDaDog

2nd out of 4 finds in this series. Will return to finish them off when
we have a little more time.
Beautiful day for a walk along the river.

Awesome cache. Thanks for the toys!

Today was my last day of freedom before starting a new job and my goal was to get to 300 finds before starting work. I wanted a series of caches that was going to get me over the line, and this was it. This walk has been on my to-do list since it was published as, many years ago, I had a dog named Dudley. He was a basset hound, always getting caught up in his ears, lol. I was expecting that the collection of these caches was going to be a 'walk in the park', however it proved to be a little more challenging than that. It was still a pleasant walk in the sunshine, an opportunity for me to contemplate the days ahead and indeed, the days gone by, as I thought of my long-gone dog and how much I think he would have enjoyed getting his ears wet here!

Well, this is it—find #300. Woohoo! Goal attained, I can go home now ... Only kidding, I'll finish this walk first. Found this one after another short search, signed log and moved on.

Another quick find and off to the next one!
Thanks for the cache
Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face

Found taking mum and dad on their first caching adventure

Found today

I enjoyed the walk along the river. The water was so still here today. No muggles or muggle dogs around and another nice sized container. All the freebies have gone now.

I was on a mission with the little Na'wals today to grab some things for Mother's day. We don't travel into Werribee all that much but decided to come this way to day so we could grab a few finds too. So after being at the shops we moved the car to another car park and went in to find these ones. A great place for a series and a great walk along the river [^] Stroller was in off road mode. I did see too many left dog logs from owners that don't pick up after them Had to dodge many of them. Cache was found quickly. Stamped and returned as found.

[blue]Thanks for this trad cache hide and series Dudley Da Dog. [^] Log and container were in good condition. TNLN [/blue]

Wonderful area. TFTC

Found 12:55:00 PM, whilst out on a solo cache run into the West.

TNLN, thanks DudleyDaDog.

14:14, 18 April 2015. I couldn't help myself and hunted for this one as well. #140 for me and #3 for the Bear.

TNLNSL. TFTC Dudley Da Dog.

We could see this from a mile away, so after we signed the log, camo'd a little better. Took nothing, left nothing, too many muggles to risk staying too long! TFTC

Being such a lovely afternoon and the last one of the School holidays there were quite a few young muggles on bikes making the most of this beautiful area so we sure did require some patience and stealth at times. Patience always pays off and they do move fast on their bikes - another good cache hide here.
TFTC DudleyDaDog

Tftc great spot will have to come back in the day time to see the river. Didn't get any further than the first 2 caches was dark and way too much dog poo. Was kind of disappointed that people don't pick up there dogs poo and tarnish such a lovely area

The girls are having a great time teaching their friend all about caching. TFTC

A nice and easy find with Bazinga01. Took nothing and signed log. TFTC

Really nice along this river. Lots of dogs out with their humans. Found while caching with Smurfy_CH & Dustieann

Lots of very friendly dogs around Nice walk along the river.

Great night cache run with Arkbell80.

Found by The Empire @ 1:20pm
There were some dodgy types hanging out by the river, they weren't interested in what I was doing. Gotta love school holidays. Thanks for the cache, and the lovely walk.

Suscoe's 2nd find of the day as we headed around this area.
A cool day was with us with a bit of cloud and some sun.
A nice find in the quiet this morning. All good here.
Thanks to DudleyDaDog for bringing us here.
A great little spot along the river walk.

This was our second find for the day. The satellites were telling fibs here, wo we went in circles until the hint helped us locate the nice hide.
Thank you for the enjoyable tour!

A very nice walk around the park for this series of caches today. No problems in finding any of them today.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks DudleyDaDog for these caches here today.

Rated: for Overall Experience

took a bouncy ball left a dollar

Our second find today while walking Geodog Harry the Boxer.

We came from number 3 and walking on the west side of the river.
My Samsung phone had the coordinates a little off but soon had the well hidden cache in hand.

Signed log, took bouncey ball for dog to play with... left small smiley badge.
Rehid cache as I found it.

TFTC DudleyDaDog.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there DudleyDaDog. We found your cache "A walk in the park with DudleyDaDog 2" at 12:26:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 10413.
[Blue]
We thoroughly enjoyed our "stroll" around the park here today.

[Green]Thanks for placing a large cache here. After caching for over ten years it is really sad to note that the trend of placing small caches (without swaps) is increasing. While nanos and eclipse tins sometimes have their place in an urban environment these, along with 200ml Sistemas, seem to be the norm these days even out in more remote areas. It made us feel really glad to find a large, kid friendly cache here.[/Green]
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape, but the listed trackable "QRANG's Utah Micro 2007 Geocoin" (TBX7A4) is not in the cache, could DudleyDaDog (or the Trackable owner) please "Mark the Item as Missing" so it can be removed from the cache inventory. This option is under Actions on the trackable's web page).
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Gps coordinates are a bit random but we kept looking.

Found after a short search.

Took a bit of searching before we located this one. Had to look a couple times in the same spot before we found it. Well hidden, and with a clever hint. TFTC

TheRustyDuck and I set set off today to find some of the newer caches in the area. This was a great walk along river and we both commented about how we never knew such a nice spot was hidden here. TFTC.

Found by Mary & David at 1605. We ran out of time the other day after we did #1 here, so popped back this afternoon to finish the other two. A lovely walk beside the river - very peaceful today, with only one dog walker and a muggle fishing to contend with. Neither were anywhere near the caches. At GZ, found the cache after a brief search. Now on to #3. Our thanks to DudleyDaDog.

Gps wasn't very helpful however walked around area and quickly found itoff to find the others in the seres

17/02/2015 9:33 pm Find #4309 and the second *FTF* while exploring this area at night. We spotted a couple of possums - I like how their eyes glow. The last time my daughter was with me and we spotted a possum while caching it was in a forest in Christchurch and she decided she didn't want to be there anymore and so she sprinted off…she had the torch. Same thing happened on the Gold Coast, except some nasty turkey looking bird took a dislike to us and decided it wanted a fight…again she sprinted, again she had the torch. She's a lot braver now I found the cache, nicely hidden with excellent coords. Thanks DudleyDaDog.
