Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.
Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

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

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.
The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by 8th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:
- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.
- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 8th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) it on the basis that it has been abandoned.
Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the instructions posted above.

Damn, I was here a year ago and a homeless guy was sleeping nearby, so I saved it for another time. And now I have to think the previous log is true unfortunately...
amaali found this quite quickly, while I was wandering around, a good hide in a great area.

This is my second day in a row travelling to Melbourne from Geelong to enjoy finding a few caches.
On the way up we passed through some light rain but then the rest of the day was full sunshine.
While in the area today two new caches were published so a couple of FTF's was a complete surprize>
We had no problems with this guy so thanks for placing skakids.

Suscoe headed out for a day of caching fun in the inner south east of Melbourne with our great mate Bushfire.
Little did we know what this had had in store but a couple of FTF surprises greeted us during the day!
Always a bonus.
We enjoyed a delightful Autumn day with sunshine, a cool temperature, great cache locations and we learned a bit along the way about this area.
Thanks to the skakids for this hide.
A nice spot and a good location for the cache.

I had to wait for some BBQing muggles to clear and then I made the find easily. TFTC
Bit of a wait until muggles on the bench opposite moved on, but then a quick find
Quick find, Never saw such a Cache before.

Quick find on a Sunday morning. Waited on a nearby park bench and waited out a couple of people who were exercising. Thankfully they weren't in it for the Long haul!!
I had set off from Albert Park by bike with a plan to do a loop via Windsor, Balaclava, Ripponlea, Elwood, St Kilda, and back.
A lovely little park tucked away. There was little activity when I got there so I was able to make a quick find. TNLN. TFTC.

Sheltered from view, an easy find. Almost managed to lose it after signing, but saved it from its doom.
I'd intended a bike ride in the Western Suburbs, but the weather had other ideas, so a Quest on foot became Plan B.
In all, starting from Prahran, and finishing in St. Kilda, six Quest cache locations and a further seven other skakids hides were visited, resulting in ten smileys, a DNF and two "did not attempt", while people enjoyed the slightly cooler conditions in a couple of local parks.

Out for a late morning caching run with lochb before a planned meet-up with our caching team mate G of GJMMelb this afternoon, we headed for this one - in a park I'm sure I've cached in before. Approaching GZ, we soon found the cavern and spied within a pair of objects - one possible, one seemingly unlikely but which seemed the more out of place of the two. Sure enough it was the cache and the logbook was soon filled out and replaced (slightly less obvious than before).
We'd hoped to grab another of the series on our way back but alas the traffic and parking gods were against us so we decided to leave it for another day. TFTC skakids

A quick find in this interesting little park.there was even a marque to rest in. Thanks for the cache
I've come to this one like 4 times in the past 6 months but each time there were muggles around and im suss enough looking in my wheelchair. Finally got it... had a big girly moment of not wanting to put my hand in there gave my both my boyfriend and a friend who i was on discord with a good laugh at my girly shrieks lol. Normally im not too bad but as i had to pull myself into an assisted stand and grab it with spider webs i was being girly lol. Got it took some loot and put some in.
Had a good poke around with a stick, nothing doing. Then I read the previous log. On to the next one!
Spotted this one hiding out of reach at the back of the tree. I grabbed a stick and as I attempted to manoever it within reach it slipped into the nether down the back of the tree. Sorry!
Had a spare few hours between games while spectating at the Schools Cup Volleyball tournament at MSAC so headed out to find the nearby caches. Had to wait for some muggles and their dogs to head off before making the find. Thanks for the cache skakids!
I have found most of this series some time ago so it was nice to find the last one in the series. Thanks for a great series skakids.
Back in Australia, for the three weeks SGAT, "SisterCornys Great Australian Roadtrip": In a small campervan from Sydney to Melbourne along the coastline.
After finishing our journey, we stil have two days left in Melbourne which we will spend caching and sightseeing, really a nice and vibrant city.
This is our last day Down Under, tonight we´ re flying back to Europe after a great time here. We hope to come back one day...
Wow, that´ s what we call a cool hiding... Worth a FP! Found without any muggles nearby. TFTC

Took a short geocaching trip into Prahran on a beautiful sunny day. I had attempted this one a while ago, but was muggled out, despite loitering for some time. This time, there was only one dog-walking muggle to be seen, and although they were very slow with their walking, I eventually had the whole park to myself and was able to easily retrieve and replace the cache. A good one for Halloween, methinks! TFTC!
We had enough time this morning to wait out the muggles in this popular park. Once the coast was clear we zeroed in on the coordinates and found a spot that matched the title. Yep, only a geocacher would touch that! TFTC
Nice one. Was staying nearby on holiday and wandered down to this one for a nice easy find, once we had outwaited some muggles who were way too close to gz. Excellent hide, well done. Tftc.
You can never fault Skakids for effort. They definitely take pride in their work!!
Of course this can mean that you can sort of work their caches out reasonably quickly. Whilst not as subtle as their usual ones still a great spot and a great hide!!
Last of the day 6 out of 7 found though the missing one burns and 23000plus steps.

One last cache before lunch, we still had time. We entered the friendly park to see a muggle eating lunch under a huge gum tree, almost looking straight at gz. Thankfully she was engrossed in her lunch and we spotted the unusual and spectacular camouflage on the other side of foliage and were able to conceal ourselves and our activities. A great cache, two TBs retrieved to travel on with us, TFTC skakids and a favourite point for the amazing camo.
Today i Made a cachingtour in Melbourne and I found this cache. This was the Best of the Series. It was a great hidden cache. Greets from germany
An exceptional cache, brilliantly constructed and executed. Searched about for a while before spotting something not quite right. Discretely retrieved and replaced and so worthy that I left a couple of TB's to continue their journey.. thanks..!!
TFTC. So elegantly hidden! First find in oz. Greetings from tel Aviv, Israel!!!
We attended this event today at 4:10pm as number 15 of 23 on our Australia Day Elsternwick and Around Tour. For the third time today, we had to outwait muggles. Thankfully, a conveniently placed outhouse gave us opportunity to refresh. Thanks from D & HA B-A.
New Years Day a great quiet day to grab a few caches with Happy pants and the geo kids. A quick find here, with no muggles about in this nice little park.
Thanks skakids for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

I reckon I was out this way in Oct 2014 grabbing a few caches as this park looks familiar to me as I had trouble finding a way into it, as I did again today. Never mind today we had a couple of kids in tow and they made the perfect cover in searching and locating this cheeky hide as we passed through the park. Managed a straight forward find and we soon had it logged, thanks skakids for the cache, nice work!
Had a lovely chat here with a young lad from Norway. The park is a great hidden treasure for the locals.
Many thanks skakids from the Wacky one

What a lovely park. So quiet - even the bike rider at GZ (well 10m from) was reading.
Karel from Norway or somewhere rides for diliveroo and had the big cube box on the lawn. He kept reading as we approached but we introduced ourselves as geocachers - what do you do. Well so was he - so he signed the log too and said he will get around to logging soon. We had a lovely chat about Europe and kangaroos. We moved on.
Thanks to skakids and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Found on a lovely sunny day caching in the area. Nice sneaky hide and great container. TFTC
Ummm... pretty sure I know where it is... but there was also something apparently sleeping or dead in front of it... I don't think it's part of the cache because nobody else is registering the shock I got... so ummm... maybe next time.
1st cache found on our 3 day of caching in Melbourne team GoldJ fly back to Hobart this afternoon, the Carnival Spirit sail out as well. It has been great catching up and caching together. This was an excellent cache fav from me. TFTC
Today (Cup Day) is GMelb's birthday but is also the date of MMelb's first Uni exam for the end of the year... on Cup Day, at Caulfield Racecourse at 9.30am .....
Oh well the only thing to do is we will drive MMelb to his exam & go caching until it is time to pick him up again! We tried to access the cache in the Lake Reserve via the tunnel under the racecourse but the gate was locked so we headed back to the car and headed off to find other caches in the area
We were starting to get short of time for the pick up so decided we would look at c:geo to see which caches had high favourite points and this was top of the list!
Wow that is very cool!!! Have never seen the likes of that before!!
TFTC skakids - fave point from us - GJMMelb

After doing some exercise around Albert Park Lake we decided to pick up a cache on the way home and chose this one which had a lot of favourite points. Despite a couple of Muggles up the end laying on the grass facing away from the cache, and taking no notice of us, there was no one else around. The GPS was all over the place, but Mr Pooky widened the search and soon had the cache in hand. A great little hide and well constructed with a very clever natural cover. A favourite from us as well TFTC TNLN.
Luckily not too busy today !
Yesterday I was looking in wrong places....today went straight to it ! Good sized container!
Great camo !
