It would seem there are one or more aspects of this cache that do not conform to the Groundspeak geocaching guidelines.
The CO has been given the opportunity to rectify the situation but this does not appear to have happened.
As the cache is no longer guideline-compliant it is being de-listed to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
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.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###
I note this cache is carrying a banner regarding the [The Melbourne Event 2015](https://geocaching.melbourne/event2015/)
Apart from the fact that advertising a geocaching event on a cache page is a really good way to have your cache de-listed, the activity was actually held a number of years ago! This is precisely the reason why such advertising on a cache page is not sanctioned in the geocaching guidelines.
Please remove the banner and then enable your cache.

A quick P&G while I'm in the area today.
First shot landed just where I wanted it to! The rest was text book as the rev head Sri Lankin mob turned up in their modified prides of joy.
Cache is in good condition and so is the tree.
TFTC CM!

Found it from the ground. Hubby proposed going up with rope. Um no. Kids had fun saying hi to local bin chickens while we ate lunch.
I was working near by today making some garden beds and visited the cache. One day I'll learn to climb and get this one, it looks like a great time!
Staying with family in Healsville for the weekend checking out the local cuisine and scenery. I snuck gear into the car juuust in case. While the fam and babies took an arvo nap I headed off to the local park. Took a little bit to spot the cache - looking at the wrong tree!
Ohhh there we go...no time mucking about. Got a line up straight away and was at the cache within 15min. A local asked if she could take a photo of me - always happy to oblige! If muggles ever wander what the strange man with the rope is doing I just smile and wave - they do the same and keep walking. Back down on ground and at the car before Nanna had even woke.
Thanks CM Jnr for your cache placement - a lovely tree to climb in a really different kind of spot!

Spoiler Alert - found it but would need specialised equipment to reach it! Too hard with three kids in tow!!!
In town for the weekend for my mum's 80th Birthday party and its time for a cache or two as we depart on Sunday afternoon.
I came, I saw and I laughed! Next time I'll be back with a ladder, a very big ladder...

If you fall off the bike you must get back on and forget what has just passed.
Outside this game the people don't believe that people climb trees for recreation.
Recently this banana met a man who was a high access stone mason. Everyday he would accend buildings to repair them and many time up to 100 stories. New York has that sort of opportunity. Discussions with him had wrongly assumed because of tree climbing an arborist was my occupation.

It is the thrill of climbing once all the issues are solved. Like a high difficulty puzzle where life is at play. It is exciting to all and don't be told otherwise as the process consumes the mind.
As indicated by the handful of people who attempt this process Australia wide. It is a very very select group.
The bananas don't ask for hints in this game, never used phone a friend and individually resolve each treasure with their own unique style. Climbing is no different. Our methods although ridiculed by many have bought great almost unbelievable satisfaction. If we fall, and there have been a few, there is noone to blame but ourselves.
But the jigsaw of how our best way to resolve this is slowly being completed.
This treasure resolves another piece in the jigsaw.
Thanks Clever Monkey Jnr for this satisfaction.

Happen to be around when CO placed the cache. I was pleased to see Jnr picked a good tree for her first T5 hide. Was fun to take turns throwing the line.
To easy after just doing Captain Risky up the road, but with time restraints today and a market in the car park today I decided to take lunch to go.
I'll return another time to go for a climb here.

After an epic adventure at the Cathedral Ranges State Park, º and I headed to Healesville to find a tree cache and enjoy a dinner to conclude the day. I have never tree climbed before so today was a whole new experience. It was fascinating to see how the ropes were slingshot through a fork and how everything was tied down and setup. In the end, º went up first and I followed afterwards. By about 10m I began to get very nervous and had to keep control of my fear and panic by continually repeating to myself "Up & pull". By the time I could reach the cache I was literally shaking and it was a small miracle that I kept a cool head up there.
In the end was able to unscrew the cache without dropping it, SL both with a pen and blood (a cut received whilst climbing), visited TBs and nervously replaced the cache. Went through the steps to descend and I can't tell you how thankful, relieved and exhausted I was to be back on terra forma.
My first T5 cache, first tree climb but hopefully won't be my last. Thank you ClevermonkeyJnr for setting up this cache. A fantastic time! Favourite for this personal milestone in my caching life.

[font=Courier New][size=4][Blue]Oaky! are you kidding, how could I not find this one[/blue][/size]
[font=Courier New] Headed out bright and early today to get my self some high terrain caches and stop in at event. Well I was a little shy of my intended target and didn’t manage making the event, but boy did I find some excellent caches and this one was no exception and how could not resist stopping finding a cache called “Oaky”
Not long after arriving I had a rope set up when a van pulled up only a few meters away from GZ. The driver soon asked what was I up too, I resisted saying almost 300 metres instead I just went with practicing rope skills. He then explained there was a Farmers market on today, Hmmm better gets on with it then.(Farmers market or not this one had my name on it) So he then went about his business and I mine
In no time at all I was at the cache signing the log taking a few selfie’s and generally enjoying the first cache of the day, by the time I had got back down more vehicles were arriving so I quickly packed up and I was off to the next cache. Great timing I say
Thx Isabella for an excellent cache and nice meeting you at another cache 8hrs later. Cant wait for your next cache to be published
[font=Comic Sans MS][size=2][blue]Danke sehr , mein Freund
Cheers

Since this cache might get crowded over the weekend ... NOT ... I went after work to hang out a bit in Healesville. It was an marvellous evening with nice colours in the fading light. Oh. Light. Yeah I think I need that.

On that note I was a bit in a rush to get the line up but all worked out. The muggle-what-the-hell-is-he-doing-factor was fairly low so everything was packed up 20 min after arrival.
Thanks and Cheers
