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.

### **A TIMELY REMINDER** ###
### (CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED) ###
----------
Thank you for temporarily disabling this cache for maintenance - it is appreciated. However, I've noticed that it has been disabled for a while now . . . . . . . somewhat more than the few weeks suggested in the [**Guidelines,**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#maint) so it's time for me to take some kind of action. I wish I didn't have to, but others are probably wanting to know what's going on with this cache.
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list.
- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache 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.
- 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 (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.
- 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 those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, Archive the cache. Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then.
Please don't send me an email but instead follow the advice posted above.

thanks Mozz88

Found this one in an exposed spot, already opened with contents scattered around. May have been done by a muggle or suspicious looking magpie nearby. I packed up the contents, filled in the log book and duly returned it to a less exposed spot. TFTC.
Easy found it.
Be careful of the swooping magpies as the neighbours feeds the birds in the backyard

First time finding! Took the kids straight after school to the nearby park - an easy enough find but still enough to excite them and look at/follow directions whilst hunting. They can't wait to do the next one!
Nice quick and easy find. Surprised at the container size for the "burbs". Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here.

A glorious day out caching with Papillon4506 and GeoTurtle37.
Nice sized cache for suburbia!
Thankyou moz88 for placing this cache here for us to find.

Well it’s been a few weeks since I’ve had a Geo fix and no work today meant I was map searching last night. Knowing I had my GeoDaughter with me made for some easier yet still fun finds. This is the first one for today and hopefully a good sign that we’re going to have good Geo luck for the rest of our hunting.
Thank-you for the hide and give my GeoDaughter a place to stretch her legs and make the Find.

Never knew this park was here and driven this street many times ...thank you !...tftc
Managed to get to this one just before the rain started. Great hiding spot near the play park. Thanks for the cache!
After an hour or so at the 'Hill', a nice quickie was needed before heading home. This one fitted the bill perfectly and I had the stash in hand as soon as I arrived at GZ at 14:55. Just the way I like it.
TNLNSL. Thanks moz88.
**PS:** I didn't spot either listed TB in the cache although I wasn't able to have a really good look due to time constraints.

A very easy find today which was good as I was thinking that I really should head for home.
Out and about with Mrs 80 degrees this morning , had our walk and now for a couple of driveby's. Mrs 8 had already done this one so leaving her in the car I made the dash across the park to mark of the easy find. Pretty obvious where it is, would be easy for muggles prying eyes. Thanks for the cache moz88
A foggy night meant the park was real dark and we used a nice and bright head lamp to finally find the Fort. Given the amount of rocks around the cache it could be a fort. Signed and returned.
Unfortunately, there were no TB's in the cache.

I was in the area and had some time to kill so went caching. Found this after a brief search. Nice spot for a big cache! Thanks
On the way home from bball. Stopped by and though we did not find a wooden fort we did find a rock one. Swapped a coin for a coin. Tftc
Found @13:55 on Anzac Day
Found after a quick search
When the coords were off I feared a lot of bush rustling however a quick scan of the area & the camo made it clear where it was. Probably the most colourful cache I've found in a long time!
Took - Weird spongy bike handle thingy
Left - Badge / Kangaroo Pin

On the way home from work and chasing a cache or several to inch me closer to that milestone
Found about 10 meters south of the coordinates, maybe the iPhone, maybe not. A nice large container, I originally feared it may have gone missing but no, it's in good nick.

Took the kids out for this one. Love seeing their excitement for what they will find in the box. Thanks for bringing me up this way.
The GPS had me slightly somewhere else but then I saw a telltale sign of a cache and soon signed the log. Looks like there's been a party here, a lot of litter around. Thank you : )
After spending the afternoon setting out 3 new caches in the Plenty Gorge Park, I decided to reward myself with a few searches. This was the second of 2 that I tackled. It was an easy find and I could imagine forts being built there. It brought back old memories of my brothers and I building forts in bushland in Ferntree Gully back around 1958. It was good to find a cache were I could off load a few TBs I have been carrying around. Thanks for the memories and the cache. I gave it a favourite point.
Found quickly when realizing needed a cache today and this was nearby and sort of on the way home for Mrs 80. Co-rods a long way off but was obvious from the distance. Tftc
Our first ever find! We did a little trade, had a little play... now off for our next one
I checked up on this on the weekend. Was a little bit disappointed to find that there was not many tradeable items left in the cache. I started this cache with many items so that there would always be something for everyone upon finding. The rules for geocaching are do not take something unless you leave something. And this should be of equal or greater value.
There was also some broken toys, rubbish and an old battery - didn't think that was the best thing to leave in a cache. I will replenish the cache with things to trade shortly - could everyone who visits in the future please be mindful of the rules of the game. If you take something, leave something. And please don't leave rubbish items or broken things or my pet hate for finding in caches - hairtyes!
Thank you and happy hunting

I needed some time to myself, and a decent walk... or several short ones. There's a series in Diamond Creek that I've partially completed, and fits the bill quite nicely.
This hide was on the way, so I parked nearby and took a short stroll into this park, which we used to play in when the kids' godfather lived backing onto the reserve.
Wow... an impressive container! So shiny! A little less hidden than it might have been when I arrived, better protected from sight and the elements when I left.
Thanks, moz88.
