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 kill this cache.**
#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 and repair and/or 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 praises.
- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page telling them what the situation is, 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 the listing is next checked, all will be fine for a little bit longer. But 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 this page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks so as to keep everyone up to speed with what is happening.
- **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,

Because of the pandemic, many caches became
unmanageable in the time
needed to race out to them and I have not been able to
justify the time to keep this cache going.
I know you may be sad that this cache,
like many of it’s partners is going, but
sometimes it is an old cache that makes way for a new one.
Until next we meet on the caching trail, have an
extra special time caching. KD.

Found after 2 days and reading the comments. My photo is of its location so spoilers!
Have been eyeing off this geocache for sometime now. Just always driving past on route to another series of GZ’s. Found on my afternoon lockdown 4.0 Appreciated the opp to not be upstanding
Quick find and nobody about today in the wind and threatening rain. Log is wet and difficult.to make a mark but just managed. Thanks.
A quick little park and grab. Myself and GeoDaughter jumped out of the car to see who could make the find first and ........ (drum roll please)........ I GOT IT

Found this. Took a while and I got help from comments (thank you!). I need this help because I’m new and not very good.
Still a couple of spots to log your finding but won’t last long before requiring maintenance. (Room for 5 more I think).

Spending the afternoon collecting a few smiles in the area. Thanks Kangadrew72 for King and Country.
Visiting my son and stopped to collect this one. I was lucky as I could spot it from the car. Thanks kangadrew72
My planned walk this afternoon got cut short by the rain, so I thought I would just drive by a couple of nearby caches on the way back home.
Parking just opposite the feature here I made a quick dash across in the rain. After a very short search I found the tiny little container and retreated back to the car for log retrieval, signing and log returning.
With these containers I usually find the rolling and returning is the longest part of the whole process - usually longer than finding the container - and I was grateful for the dryness of the car.
With that done it was a quick dash back and re-placement of the cache in its designated spot. TFTC

TFTC! Did this one on my bike which I don't recommend as the area is very hilly. spotted it on the end of a bolt from the footpath. Put it back the exact same way I found it but presume that it's suppose to be a little better hidden, will leave that movement to the CO as am not entirely sure. Signed as 'GP 6/5/20' to save space. This is the smallest cache I have found, surprised I managed to roll the log back up and get it inside the lid. Logbook and container in good condition with enough space left for another 6 months. TFTC!

Found after almost half an hour of struggle, even smaller than I anticipated! Tftc!
My first effort with my two grandsons and we couldn’t find it. I’m sure it’s within arm distance sitting on the bench. Oh well.
Out caching on a summer's evening with Ozlsn when my phone died! Luckily, hers still had power. A bit of scrabbling about in the fast fading light and we had the (teeny tiny) cache in hand. A lovely little park. TFTC!
Tricky! Was scrabbling around in the fast fading light, temporarily distracted by an unfortunate loose nail but found it in the end. Tftc!
Found It!
A quick find here before it started to rain. Something about nanos and the spawn of satan was muttered...

That is the smallest I have ever found. Make sure you roll it up good so it fits back in
After a wander along the Yarra Stopped here for a snack and refuel and at the same time, grabbed a well hidden cache. TFTC
A nicely hidden cache in a well maintained (if small) memorial park. I was pretty lucky today as the rain, that started as I left home, kept the muggles away. This made for an easy find as the cache is in a standard type of place. TFTC and Thank you for bringing me here.
Heading to Lower Templestowe to visit a friend today and I have driven past this one so many times. Today was the day to stop by and hunt it so I did! Wandered into the park and had a look around before following the GPSr and the cache was quickly in hand. Thanks to kangadrew72 for this one
Second of three caches that we found quick-smart this afternoon. Sneaky hide and signed the nearly-new log. Tftc
HOO RAH, HOO RAH !! .. Took me three looks & then I had cache in hand !! .. Decided to leave home early to give this one a go, as I was going to my geodads for an early dinner .. Unfortunately, he couldn't come for the walk with me, as he is under doctors orders to do absolutely NOTHING !! (he just got a pacemaker put in) .. The LB is totally FULL, (so NEEDS REPLACING) but I managed to initial it over someone else's name that had faded .. SL, TFTC
Lest we Forget. Thankyou for bringing me to this memorial. It was a clear early Sunday morning but the walkers and cyclists kept me focused.
Located and log signed. Definately time for a new log.
Cheers bmtc18

I was heading over to Bulleen this afternoon... and left a little early so I decided to stop off and find a cache that I driven past many, many times since it was first published. A quick stop and a quick find... my biggest problem was finding somewhere to leave my mark as the log sheet is full.
Thanks **kangadrew72** for putting this cache here.

Found by Mary and David, in company with pprass, at 15:48:00. Peter had planned ta bike ride for us to follow the series along the trails through the parks. Started out fresh, but gradually the hills took their toll on old legs and on the remaing life of our eBike batteries. Still managed more than 6 hours with about 20% charge left. An interesting series with a variety of hides to keep us on our mental toes. Our thanks to kangadrew72.
Found at 3:50 PM GAFF1 in the company of maccamob.
Well that's it for our day - 6.5 hours and 29 cache finds on our bikes. A lot of ups and downs, but with great company the time and effort just passed us by.
The cache was found in a very exposed location, so we replaced it a bit better.
Thanks kangadrew72

I was heading back to the 905 bus after a long day at Westerfold and Candlebark and I saw a couple of caches close by, just begging to be found. How could I resist. I was pooped but mustered my remaining energy to turn this one into a yellow smiley.
TFTC. Found just enough space above an old log to sign. Log does need replacing
Found a cute little hide. Log is completely full so had to sign over an old faded and unreadable signature. I usually like to be a good geocacher and replace a full log as a courtesy to the CO. But it’s impossible with a nano as I’d have to throw the old log away, and it’s not my place to do that.

Stopped here for a spot of lunch and at the same time, grabbed a well hidden cache. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams
This seems like one of those parks that doesn't get much use - too close to busy roads for much relaxation. I was a bit surprised that there weren't more names on the memorial to be honest - Templestowe must have been only on the city fringe then. Thanks kangadrew for this one.
Gps jumped around a little but once it settled a quick, easy find with not a muggle in sight and very little traffic.
No log inside container so unable to sign.

Greytiger and I are on the hunt today. We thank you for brining us to this memorial park. The log was quickly signed and cache returned. TFTC.
Thank you kangadrew72, this was a quick find for amaali and I however what a great spot for a cache and to reminisce about times and men long ago.

I was in the area and heading back to the car when I noticed this was a short walk away. I made the detour up to GZ and found that it was empty. Didn't take too long before the cache was in hand. I signed the log, replaced the cache, paid my respects, and moved along. TFTC
On my way home from visiting a relative. thought I would stop and pick this one up didn’t take me too long and it wasn’t too difficult to extract. Enjoyed the solitude
Had cached nearby earlier and couldn't leave this lonely one. It was dark when we arrived so lucky it was a nice quick find. Thanks for the cache.
This one was a quick grab on our way home just to finish off the area. Fortunately it was a quick find as the light was gone by the time we arrived at gz. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Out to gather a cache to fill in a day on the geo-calendar, this was a quick find. Thanks kangadrew72
TFTC, I drive home past here most nights, decided to stop and grab the cache.
Got lucky and found this one almost immediately without even seeing it until after I had touched it.

This was our first for today and having seen that it was a nano, I had absolutely no hope of finding it quickly. But I looked about, had a seat and it was in hand within seconds. Sometimes you are just lucky! TFTC.
