----------

Hi there kangadrew72,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.

You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache to check, repair, replace 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 logs of praise to roll in.


- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**


- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

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.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

Looked for a little while before moving on.

No luck unfortunately looked for quite a while too

Dnf

A group of 6 of us couldnt find, i fear its gone

We will be back in a few months.

Ummmm I looked around as much as I could but didn't find it. I think I know where it is but I will have to try again when it's quite

Nice one to start my Sunday

A few years back I had a look but the weather closed out. This time with my new hips and no wands to deter I found it. TFTC

I spent ages unsuccessfully looking for this when I started geocaching several years ago. Today I found the cache straight away. The log is full! Tftc.

Wired one it not magnetic

Did snoop doggy say full menu log hungry dogs gota eat

Took us a while to find this one but got there eventually!

I had the day to myself so I headed to Eltham for a walk and to do some caching on the way around. As I walked up to this one I was a little worried that I would be quite exposed whilst searching in the middle of the day. Turns out I hit on where the cache was hidden very quickly and could retrieve without drawing attention to myself. All good here. TFTC kangadrew72

Tftc!

Out for Friday after work exercise. Planning to pick up a nearby solved puzzle but a muggle was making that near impossible. Spotted these ducklings while walking over to this one. What a beautiful area this is and a great tribute to those who fought for us. TFTC

.

Found this tiny nano after looking in a few wrong places. Very nice spot to take a seat and reflect. TFTC

Found on ground, replaced low, took a bit of searching, sitting on the bench helped! TFTC, definitely a nano.

The rain had finally stopped and I needed to get some approved exercise after being at home all day. I parked in the nearby carpark and went for a walk in Alistair Knox Park before returning to look for this cache as it was so close to where I parked. I didn't have to worry about social distancing as there was nobody around. Once my GPSr settled I found the tiny nano thanks to the spot-on co-ords and signed the log at 4:20 pm. TNLN. After returning the cache to its hiding spot I used hand sanitiser to stay safe.

Thanks kangadrew72 for the good hide in a very pretty location. I must admit that I did smell like rosemary when I got back in my car.

Tftc - found in fading light by our team - (safely) avoiding the Coronavirus madness at stage 2....but expecting 3 soon.

TFTC A quick and easy one on the path of a multicast. Nice to sit down and relax!

Snuck away from the nearby festival for a quiet find away from the muggles. TFTC

Thanks for the lovely seat in amongst the sweet rosemary whilst the jazz festival is on. Thanks.

I took followed the same path as jimmytherat here - failed the first time, second time sat on the bench near GZ and spotted it. The info boards here were the sort my Dad would like, although I was wondering what the connection is between the cenotaph here and the one up at Kangaroo Ground, which is for the old Shire of Eltham. Thanks Kangadrew

After the GPS misdirected us a tad I didn't take long to spy this one. TFTC.

Wow. This one was very difficult. So many place to check and so few that held the geocache. Only the last location obviously.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocacher experience here today. So many geocache in the area that it would appear we need to make a return trip in the not too distant future.

Rated: for Overall Experience

TFTC kangadrew72. 2nd time here for a pleasing find. After a search around, and despite the tinyness and well camoed colour of the cache container, saw the blighter ‘in plain sight’ while having a break on a bench near GZ. A fav for me. Jimmytherat.

No TOTT to extract the logsheet. Will return another day.

An easy find in a very tranquil spot TFTC

Not too difficult once the GPS settled. The cache seems a bit unsecured though, and at risk of moving/getting lost easily. It was nice to visit the memorial - TFTC

Found @10:23 pretty quickly once the gps settled. Cache was on the ground below what I believe was GZ making the search fairly easy. This was the last jewel in needed to find to get the Mystery at the Museum souvenir. TFTC!

Found with a nice muggle who ended up making the find! Thanks for placing this cache kangaroodrew72

No luck

Unlike some other local muggles caches, this nano is still tucked away and in place ready to be found. Nothing fixed here today as all is well. Search hard, it is a nano after all!

Had concerns about this cache with so many DNFs but a find last entry made it worth a check. However no luck

Out today trying to grab a few caches before it really heats up. Find 2 for today. I was here with Bunadoorian when he found it - so now I am back to find it and sign it in my own name. Cache is all good. TFTC kangadrew72

No luck

No luck

Drat! Tried but beaten.

took me a while.

Unable to find. Must be well hidden

Thank you! Beautiful place to visit and very tricky to find

Ugh, today has been frustrating as all get out. After getting off to a decent start it's all been downhill from there.

Thank you kangadrew72, amaali and I were hunting around for awhile but amaali found this one, I wouldn't have been able to by myself. Loved the memorial.
Greytiger

Greytiger and I had a few problems with this sneaky hide. The joy is in the find but you nearly copped the same as Margaret. TFTC cache in a nice location.

Out in the blustery day, I stopped to look for this cache to complete my hidden creatures challenge and obtain the turtle souvenir. Cache is safe and sound. Thanks kangadrew72

Found by the Swedish Tennis Players. Well hidden but fun to find! TFTC

Searched everywhere so DNF for us today

Searched with Crank1. No luck next time.

Out walking the dog with the grandchildren and thought I would have another look for this one. That is for the umpteenth time.
My lucky day as I spotted it straight away. Must have been because you replaced the log recently.
TFTC kangadrew73

Log replaced. Seems to however to be less stickable just now so will fix soon. Otherwise all good

This was a very challenging find.
I had a long day and had searched for this before to no avail. This time, I searched much more cleverly, thinking where the cache would hide. I thought I wouldn't find this without help but I did. It is a lovely memorial, smell of rosemary is memorable as life rushes by in the vehicle's that pass. Thanks for this history and for bringing me here!

I had a crack at the FTF on this one when it was first published and came out ... and probably have been back once or twice... still without success. That's the problem with a troublesome cache... even when you think you have tried all possibilities, you clearly haven't because otherwise you would have found it!

It was late in the day and I was walking back to my car parked on Main Road... and as I was going past, I thought "go on, have another go at finding it". Forcing myself to stop trying "old ideas" and try something new, I spotted something a little irregular. With a little poking and prodding I soon had the cache and managed to find somewhere on the log to leave my mark.

Thanks **kangadrew72** for this cache... it is so nice to change a to .

**NB:** the cache could do with a new log strip.

I have looked for this one before but I had better luck this time. The log book is totally full. I tried to replace it but I have nothing that small. TFTC.

My second war memorial find for today....not that I planned it that way but caching works like that sometimes. I’ve looked for this one before but quickly realised there was far too much traffic watching me! As I was in the area for some other caches, and with it being pretty quiet on Easter Sunday, I decided to have another look. Not an easy find as I soon found but once you find it you can’t believe you missed it!! TFTC

Tftc

riDICulously small, but still findable (just) hint: green atrociously tiny elephant

10:32, 12 March 2018, # 535, found with OzHockeyChick while doing caches in the area today nice hiding spot

The last cache for the day, which I couldn't find earlier this afternoon. I was back at this pretty garden after a PAF to the rescue. I looked there already! Just not well enough. Very sneaky find, and loving the rosemary smell, thanks!

Can't tell you how sure we are that this wasn't there last time we visited!!!
Quick and easy find this time . . . . . Absolutely sure it wasn't there . . . . maybe.
Thanks for the cache in this peaceful garden of reflection.

5:27 pm #4097
Back today for another look and ... you guessed it!!
Found within 15 seconds! Doh!
Thankyou kangadrew72 for placing this cache here for us to find.

Found it on my second attempt. A great hide

Wow looked everywhere but no cache for me here. Will be back tho

Got it

Well at least the rosemary smelled great.

Kanga drew can hide things so well this is the 2nd cache I haven't found by him today

**Find #1174**

After attending An Event today I joined the Welder team to help find this nemises of mine. I failed to find it on a previous visit. And Lucky for me The welder's Hunting skills are a class above mine. After a methodical search The welder found the cache and I got to turn this cache into a smiley face. Not sure I would have found it on my own. It wasn't that hard, it's just in a nice sneaky hide.

Thanks **kangadrew72**

TFTC.

#956 - 10.40am
Following the well attended "We've Turned the Corner... Summer's on the Way" event over the road, it didn't take much persuasion for the UltimateGeoCacheTeam to convince the Mini-Welders and I accompany him down here for our daily cache. It is a D2, how hard can it be?
Very hard.
The Minis created a convenient smokescreen, but it wasn't one of their finest performances. In fact, as the search continued they became more of a hindrance than an asset. Who was it that said, "never work with children or animals"??
But perseverance paid off, for as I was going over everything for the third time I discovered the sneaky hide.
Yay!!
Thanks, kangadrew72, for the smiley and the rosemary scented cologne.

Well after about six searches we finally asked for some help . As usual it wasn't so hard after all and we just kept missing it. Definitely earns a favorite from us. Tftc kangadrew

Had the Geo Family with me today and they made easy work of this one. TFTC

TFTC. I finally found this cache.
Signed and returned.

Out caching today with quiet1_au and GJMMelb. They had both found this cache on a previous visit, so were willing to help for a quick find. TFTC

29/04/2017 11:34 I had been pretty much told where this was and despite that I couldn't find it. Today I walked straight to it. Dunno how I ever missed it before. TFTC kangadrew72 TNLN SL

Came here to pay respect to the fallen for Anzac Day as we cannot make it on Tuesday
Log book is full we have a photo for proof if owner needs thankyou

It was time for some R&R, that's Rebel and Rossta caching time, We headed out to Eltham for a fun day finding caches, sorry for the log delay but I moved house and started a new job and the excuses could go on a mile, finally got a new lap top so catching up. Thanks kangadrew72 for the cache.

**# 16046** Found on our 2017 summer escape to Vic trip.
And now for another drive around with Rebel Acts.
This time we tackled an area around Eltham.
A good few hours of caching and many muggles roaming around too.
This was much harder than a usual D2 hide, very sneaky indeed.
Thanks for the cache kangadrew72,
***Roostaman***

I have seen small caches before but this is ridiculous. Well hidden and fun to try and search without looking suspicious. I suggest a pizza. It worked for us

Got itttt yay our first ever one! Soooo hard! An hour and a half later. Definitely couldn't 'spot it' as many people said. We had looked here plenty of times but it was so well hidden. Had a blast though!! Thanks heaps!

Situated in these absolutely lovely gardens.
A just memorial.

This one took us longer than it should have!
A little bit trickier than usual, but not bound to be muggeled.

TFTC

Enjoying a chance to cache in and around Diamond Valley. Our first one of these for the day! Nice hide.. TFTC TNLN

I was with several others who had found this previously. We searched high and low with no luck. Tead the hint...we'd looked there. Read the previous log.. Bother, it must be here. It was. Spotted this sneaky hide just as I was about to admit defeat. Tftc kangadrew72

Double checked cache location, all good today...

30/07/2016 10:22 Despite some clear hints from a previous finder I suspect this maybe gone.

Took a while of looking but found it in the end tftc

A nice hide. Almost logged a dnf. Tftc

We spent a lot of time looking for this one but could not locate it. The only thing that we came away with was smelling of Rosemary for the rest of the day.

A quick check of the cache to make sure all is well - all is indeed well.

No joy today. Will come back another time

Thought my GPS had it flagged, then thought I'd better step on it. No luck I'll try again with genius geocache son

had a good look tonight! It's a hard one! Will be back, this is just the first attempt!!!!

Spiffy- and I were out and about caching withe the aim of getting a few of the Eltham caches and a couple we had solved. This cache was spotted luckily after searching a couple of wrong spots. Thanks kangadrew72 for the cache.

Fleabag- and I headed out today for a few hours to pickup a couple of puzzles we have had solved plus then grab whatever else we found on our travels in the area. Had a few DNF's today on everything that was difficulty 2 today for some reason. Everything else we had virtually no problems finding.

Fleabag- was on the phone while we were searching for this one and he still found it before me!
Thanks kangadrew72 for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

There was a fair sized area here with many possible places for this cache. Quiet1_au and I looked for some time an eventually decided to call for help. The help gave us the specific area and so I went back to look while Q moved on to the next cache. I found the cache nearish to (but not at) the location suggested by a previous finder. Thanks kangadrew72
GJMMelb

Well this is a lovely spot, and one that will leave you with a reminder of your visit (the scent of rosemary) no doubt G' and I searched high and low for some time but couldn't locate this one so we eventually gave up and headed back to the car where he PAFed as I headed for the next cache (only to find that way blocked by muggles) With a good clue we headed back again and G' made the find, a little cache creep had set in which is why we had missed it previously... TFTC

Found on our caching day in the Eastern suburbs. A lovely memorial garden.
TFTC

This is our second attempt at this. We retraced our steps looking at the same spots. Dad was sure we were in the Ruhr spot. Then I saw it

On our second attempt.
I was sure I knew the type of cache and looked high and low. Then Legomango9 reached over and grabbed it.
