###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###
----------
I would not normally act without a Needs Maintenance log first, but if the logs are accurate about the cache access being blocked by the homeowner, I think it prudent to temporarily disable the cache until it can be checked out by the CO.
Please respond to this situation by **15th September** to prevent the cache from being delisted 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 an actual date when you believe the situation will be resolved.

I went to this cache before lockdown and notice it is still showing on the map. I suspect it has escaped reviewer attention because of the found log, when it is actually not possible to log.
This one is bricked up and the people clearly don't want people creeping around the side of their house. It is not a good location IMO.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
I suspect grumpy home owner has patched up the hole after removing the cache.
Dang! Look fir a while and thought I found the spot it had to be but it just wasn't there! Will come back with fellow geo'ers !
Found during a leisurely stroll with Snivelbert. Streets very quiet on a Sunday morning at this time of year. TFTC!
I had taken my car to a nearby carwash and dropped by this cache on my way home. I am a bit embarrassed to admit this but I drove around the block a few times before finding the alleyway. I eventually parked in Ballantyne St and walked down the road and then down the alleyway to GZ. As I approached GZ I spotted the hide as it was a bit different from its surroundings. When I retrieved the cache I found that the log had been ripped into many bits. There were still plenty of spots to sign so I signed one of them at 4:15 pm. TNLN. I tried to sort the pieces into chronological order before putting them in a snap-lock bag that I had with me. I then rehid the cache as found. I used hand sanitiser before and after finding the cache.
Thanks Erica_Imogen_Dad for the good hide, although the log could do with a bit of TLC. Before heading off I went for a walk around the block and saw lots of renovated old houses, although some were better than others.

It was a good spot but watch out for the red back spider and the ear wigs + more
First find. Will be back with a pencil to record. Great little alleyway. Batt Family
Found. Didn't leave anything. Forgot to bring a pen. The pencil inside is blunt. Fun to explore.
TFTC. Geocaching with my Grandchildren. They are muggles and enjoying geocaching. There was a great distraction but we found the cache quickly.
I went maybe too far down the lane to start. Nicely done for a neat alley hide. TFTC
Thank you Erica-Imogen -Dad for your cache, I rode down from Thomastown for this one, a great hide and find I took nothing but left a small coin. I had a sticky beak at my surrounds and yes the lane ways are great.

Did not persevere with this one. Feels like you’re on private property even if you’re not. A muggle living across the road watched my every move..so I abandoned the search
Great one, super simple, accidentally went at 2:30am after playing a show in the vicinity. Next time I'll read the description before venturing
TFTC but the handsome dog did not like me - neither did the owner who came out and said ‘who in the f**k are you! Not sure I like alleyways any more️ And it’s day light.
Out and about with echidna44 for another great day of caching in the north. We wanted to clear out some of those puzzles we had solved and not having attended a puzzle day we have some more answers. This was a nice easy one to make a smiley. Lovely to see the craft in the old buildings here and is even better to seeing them maintained
Thanks for the cache Erica_Imogen_Dad

Out with xambo4u, we were admiring the lovely old houses here.
A quick find, thanks Erica_Imogen_Dad
