### **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.

@23:54. I was out caching with Burge this evening and we couldn't find this one. Our second DNF in this series tonight but the history of DNFs and NMs suggest it definitely needs to be checked by the CO.
Magnet present. Cache may still be there in a hiding spot. Did not have too much time so will have to return. Magnet like the koala( which I did not see ) too obvious.
This one REALLY NEEDS maintenance. Nothing but actual DNF's (forget the newbie's who logged finding the magnet) for three months.
Sought out this cache today, but as noted by others, just the magnet was found, no cache in sight. Does not look to have been replaced by CO yet as per earlier log.
Hope to come back again once fixed.

Forgot to check the activity before arriving here on the bike ride home-seems to still not be replaced. 
I had this on my GPS but hadn't checked recent logs. I found much the same as what Muzza described but unfortunately no cache for me this time.
Looks to have been tampered with. Thanks to muzza for the careful investigation and message. Will replace it asap, thanks for all the great feedback.

I had a look for this one but I couldn't find it today. I hope it's still there. I did find a small square thin container but all it had was a film negative. Nearby was a square shiny magnet, that exactly matched a discoloured part on the box - it very much looked as though the two had been glued together at one stage. I took a photo so will try to send to the CO in case that was the cache. If so, then it needs maintenance. If not, then I gave up my search too early.
My thanks to pjpantelis for placing it.

Arriving at GZ there didn't seem to be too many possibilities so had a stab and there it was. A neat little hide that sits very well.
I had no trouble closing the container, but it was not so easy to get it to be completely airtight. I can see how some water may have gotten inside previously. All sunny and a perfect afternoon to visit today.

Will hopefully get there later today or tomorrow to fix the log! It's waterproof paper but I'm assuming some of the pen entries have started to run. Thanks for all the nice comments, I'm curious to know what the koala business is that's popped up a few times below!

After attending the Westall event, headed out to find some more recently published local caches.
I had found the earlier numbers in this series so I thought I should have a go at the newest members.
I headed over to GZ, the GPSr had me at a particular object, I thought the cache wouldn't be there but I had a look anyway, sure enough the cache was found, it does sit there nicely without being seen.

Finally found this one. Think outside the box a little and you will find me. The cache needs a little tlc. Great place. Thanks for the cache.
Happy April fools day, it is fitting that this cache that has fooled me earlier, I have finally gotten. I am really happy with how this was hidden as others have said the paper is wet due to the cache being hard to close
Sadly we could not find it, despite trying for close to 25-30mins. After a while, mini-seekers got bored and started playing on the field. Maybe we'll try again? Nice touch with the furry friend
Thought we would get out and about in the sunshine today and do a few caches. We found this but think you may want to do some maintenance on it. TFTC.
Tough find given the GPS could not make up its mind, but curious geokids always help on ones like this.
Another beautiful weather day so another bike ride was on. I headed down around Moorabbin then Cheltenham to look for a few caches.
After not even being able to search at the nearby #5 due to a BBQ I headed over here to a nice deserted park and after spotting the koala in the tree and deciding that was not the cache, I searched elsewhere and came up with the find.
Thanks pjpantelis for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Logged with the new official app for Android.
Nice hide, as a cricket team warmed up nearby.
I've had to go in and edit the log as the new gc.com app STILL uses Seattle time instead of local time for logging.

In my attempt to complete P366 this year, I came up against one huge hurdle. A period of time in which I needed to find a cache on 7 days in the space of 10 days. Without my Ps at this time, it was a tough ask. Through my trips to uni and various 10pm trips with mum I managed to complete this, while trying to juggle many other commitments at the same time. Hoping I don't have to come up against this again this year! This was the 1st of 7 days required in this period.
I was lucky that I managed to convince a mate of mine to drive me out here after we finished a rehearsal of a local musical. Oh how I wish I had my Ps at this point. A nice easy find once at GZ.
Thanks PJ!

Find #2460. Found @ 22:49
An outing tonight to grab some this series that had popped up recently in one of my previously cleared out areas. As I approached the area from my previous DNF, I spotted a shifty couple of people skulking along to a vehicle. I figured they must have been cachers, but didn't really think anything more of it.
As I got to GZ, I had a quick look and missed it as a car pulled in next door and set their security light off. I hung around in the darkness for a bit, and when I stopped hearing them on the other side of the fence I had a better look around. It took me a little while before I spotted the hide in the most likely location that I had checked before.
On the way back to the car I checked my phone and found that I had a message from lemmykc. He and a friend had seen me at the previous location not finding anything and come here instead. Good to see you in the field, skulking away in the darkness.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache pjpantelis

Hope this cache lasts longer than other hides that have been in this area over the past few years, TFTC loved the Koala in the tree.. Guardian of the cache maybe....
Having grown up on Rowans Rd i was excited to see some new caches in this area. Back when i had time to hide a few caches these parks were on my list to hide caches so i am pleased someone has now done it. So while visiting my mum who still lives on Rowans rd we came to find this cache. We were not disappointed a great hide. Thanks for the cache and the series
FTF # 9 @ 5:20PM 8/03/2016
Find # 229
I had been sitting on the couch playing Xbox with the kids. We stopped for them to eat and I went to check my emails for the afternoon. Looked like Bunjil had been busy as a few new caches had been released and one of them wasn't too far from home. Despite the un-forecast 40+ degrees, I decided to jump in the car and have a go at the FTF. Upon arrival, nobody else was there so I wandered over to gz and pretty quickly had the prize in hand. Upon opening, I was faced with a blank log and a scary face (no offence intended). I signed the log and dashed back to the cool of the car. TFTC and series pjpantelis.

No bickies in the FTF hunt today due to hot weather and a great deal of prevarication.
Will I, won't I.
No, I won't go I decided.
Oh all right, yes I will.
Traffic wasn't great, worse in the opposite direction. So my arrival at GZ was not delayed too much.
As I pulled up I quickly checked the logs to see that Justin had beaten me to the prize by 10 minutes or so. Oh how that name still haunts me from FTF hunts of years gone by.
Thanks PJ for the cache. I don't recall doing one like this before.
I hope you continue to hide caches for us to find
