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.

Searched with 4 people & dnf it.

7 pairs of eyes hunting around for about half an hour but no joy.

6 kids and 2 adults could not find this cache. We looked and looked but eventually the freezing rain sent us home....
Good luck

Went up the hill and down. Found a little spot which looked sensible but alas......

So much oxalis sour grass growing. We hunted up and down for ages. Read logs. Looked at pictures. Nope. We found many beer bottles... a 1/2 buried pipe section, that looked perfect for hiding a cache. But no cache.

Our first cache! The boys were sooo excited that this geocache world even exists. It won't be the last. Hooked

Don't think to many pick up there dog crap

First one I've found since moving to Australia! Lovely spot!
- Canadian friend.

Found this afternoon between dog walkers and rain showers. Cold and windy out today. Many thanks for the cache.

Found @11:54
Did this one while walking Geo Puppy and waiting for fish and chips. Quick easy find with accurate coordinates.
Took purple pencil topper, left pussy-cat.
SL Thanks for the cache Understar+Jai.

Fairly easy to find, just follow the path inside the fence and it under a branch at your feet.

Great way to start- our first geocache find

Partner thought cache was down another route luckily I redirected him haha nice spot! TFTC

Our 100th find!!! Nice easy find on our way to lunch.

1st cache under our belts, many more to come.

Ros and Kirsty found our first one!

A camping weekend with TinkerTraveller and other muggle friends in Barwon Heads. Had to make a find on the 1st of the month for a challenge cache and this happened to be the closest. The Geokids and their muggle friends loved the Gz and would've happily played here for a while. TFTC.

A quick stop en route to the local fish and chips shop on a camping weekend. Geokids were thrilled with their quick for find. Tftc

I've been meaning to search for this one for a while, having exhausted the other nearby caches on my semi-regular visits to Ocean Grove. For some reason I've just never gotten around to it until now though. Quite a busy little spot for dog walkers and joggers which we had to wait out before I could send in my 6 year old on the initial scouting mission. Pathway having been identified I joined her on the little hill and we quickly spotted the cache. Reasonably easy to get in and out but I'm not sure how you managed it in your wedding clothes without ripping or tearing anything. Thanks for the cache Understar+Jai.

Went on a Getto gang geocache hunt today :p, Nice easy find but the log is full. TFTC

Found it!! Our very first one, a proper treasure hunt on Easter Sunday!! Thanks guys

AWSOME find for Easter Friday, took a trackable.. Happy Easter

Thanks for the cache. Quick find.

Found!

Out taking the dog for a walk and scouting locations with Ausfox when swung by here for a quick grab.

Cheers and TFTC

Was working on the beach this afternoon, so decided to go early and do some OG caches. Unfortunately, only had time for this one. Parked at the SLSC, and jogged along the beach. Jogging with a phone and a pen is not half suspicious (let alone loitering in bushes off-path). TFTC!

Thank you so much, 1st geocache with my family and our dog Charlie on my birthday

Found whilst out for a ride, this one took a little bit to locate, dare say there may be some cache creep. Found whilst walking away from the clearing after almost a dnf. Lots of doggy poop nearby. Signed log and left where found.

In Ocean Grove for an appointment and had a few minutes to,spare beforehand. What better way to use the time than to find this cache TFTC and the story Understar+Jai

Quick find while kids where at a birthday party in OG

Tftc

Love the story of how you placed this cache - would like to see a picture of you in all your finery placing the cache! Ducked into the gap in the fence when there were no muggles around, and the junior GeoKid quickly made the find. The GeoKids forgot their swaps today, so all left as it was, except for the addition of my name on the log! On our way out got a funny look from a lady walking her dog, oh well!

TFTC!

A bit in the open, moved under more camo

brought friends to find their first geocache. they also were just married less than a week ago. t4tf!

We decided to get the Geoboys (not if they can help it!!) out of the house on this sunny day, so whilst they and Geohubby headed off to play in the waves, I wandered down this path which I have used once or twice before to see if I could find the cache.
Upon arrival near GZ, I needed to out-wait a few muggles before heading in. For once, the GPS (Android phone) was quite definite about where it wanted me. The only problem was that there was no sign of the cache . I looked high and low, looked at another location which suited the hint...no luck. According to all the logs, this should be an easy find...but it just didn't want to show itself. Finally, I opted to PAF. Fortunately I received a quick reply. After a bit of discussion, I decided the cache definitely wasn't where it was supposed to be. I decided to retrace my steps somewhat and suddenly spotted what I was after! What was it doing there? According to the hint, the cache is now located about halfway to where it should be so the COs may want to check this one. Not sure what it is doing there, but I suspect this cache has not so much "crept" as "galloped" from its original spot.
Thanks Understar+Jai and congratulations on your nuptials (first time I've ever said that in a log)
!

Found it!

Out on a walk with the family and this was the perfect place to aim for too encompass some great sea views whole being pram friendly. Had to avoid a few muggles to make the grab but a nice quick find.tftc

Nice and quiet out here today. Good to read the cache notes for the approach but only needed the first half of the hint to get the cache. Hope it hasn't been creeping. Congrats on a memory of a special day. TFTC

Nice find on the way to the beach.

Nice little find on the way to the beach

Yay

Found it! It took a while to find, as we were looking for it along the track, but eventually found it

TFTC! Very sneaky!

TFTC! Very sneaky!

Wish I had a furry friend to walk in this beautiful afternoon. Thanks for the sneaky little walk.

Short walk from the holiday house with the middle Geo kid to get this one. Quite a few muggles around so had to time our exit off the track. An easy find, log signed and then a walk along the beach on our way home. TFTC.

Found it quite easy but fun though

Found it!

Found with grandkids Z and K

Found it!

Yay! First cache for a long time!l left a natura souvenir behind

TFTC!!

Nice sunny day and on the way home from the osteopath and decided to do a few. Made harder by the high level of muggle activity. Once the activity died down, made my way to GZ and had a quick find, lucky i wore green.
Got back to the car and realised i dropped my keys at GZ :S
TFTC

This was a pretty easy find with the clues provided. It was a quiet Boxing Day morning down here today.
Thanks

An easy find though I wonder if this is legal even if it's clearly a well used trail, tftc!

Found

Good spot. Nice to do some geocaching in the evening when on holidays.

Nice cache on the walk through the beach. Thanks

While on a walk with some of my friends on the beach, we decided to do this cache. First geocache for 2 of my friends. Quick find. TFTC

Fun easy find!

Was a great cache to find with lots of hang-gliders overhead on a lovely day to visit the beach.

It was very difficult to find because there were so many different 'clearings' so to speak

Thought the forest

Nice quick find. Love the name!

Bingo!

Suscoe headed out this afternoon for a delightful walk in Barwon Heads. A cool breeze and an overcast sky accompanied us as we enjoyed a pleasant walk around the main street and across the bridge and back again.
A very low tide made the bridge crossing interesting with clear and shallow water making viewing the bottom of the river very easy.

After a well deserved cuppa we headed across to this cache.

What a nice story regarding the wedding, our congratulations go out to Understar+Jai!!!!!!!!!!!
We wish you a long and happy life together.

Back to the cache. Very good co-ordinates led us to GZ and a quick find was made. With the log signed and the cache rehidden we were on out way.

Well done to Understar+Jai for this placement.

Time to head home now!!!

found. was a hot day so bit weary of snakes and dont like going off track but found soon enough

Down this way to check on a cache in Kingston Park so I had to stop by and check this new cache out.
After an easy park and a short stroll I was at GZ and again the container was in full view.
As Phetlern stated in their log the blue stands out if it had been badly hidden so some brown or black paint would help to hide the container from unwanted eyes.
I moved it six inches and it is now behind the same branch and has some cover on top as I would not like to see it go missing.
Thanks Understar+Jai for placing this cache.

Our first geocaching adventure.

Thanks for giving us an excuse for a bike ride. tftc

14:04
This was our first stop on the way to Earth's Ebony, to log a find for International Earthcache Day. There were a lot of dogs coming and going along the track today. This one was actually out in the open waiting for us - no need to scoop anything! We signed the log and hopefully tucked the cache in securely enough that it cannot be disturbed, some cammo paint may help here.

Our thanks to Understar+Jai for bringing us here.

Out in the are and needing a cache to fulfill our caching addiction and seen this one so we made the detour to GZ.
After reading the hint we were soon closing in on the cache and bingo there it was waiting for us.
Congratulations on your wedding and first cache placement.
We hope they both last forever.
Thanks UNDERSTAR+Jai for the cache.

Was logging recent finds and this popped up on the screen so dropped everything and out the door. The GPS took me the wrong way near GZ so I went a familiar way. Arrived and Parked to see one car. Made my way to GZ to make a quick find and an empty log.
Thanks for the cache Understar + Jai

Saw this go off in late afternoon and figured I might have a chance.
After finishing off what needed doing around the house, bundled one of the kids into the car and headed off down.
Arrive at gz 15 minutes after the cache had been found log had signed.
Ahh well.
Continued on down to Point Lonsdale for some cache checking up on and turned out they were all fine also.

Thanks Understar+Jai for the cache
Log signed and cache replaced as found.
