### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. Perhaps it is time for the CO to check on this one please.

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.

Your prompt attention to logs that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers. It is generally accepted that 3 consecutive DNF's is reason enough to check, see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance )

Please respond to this situation by **28th October** 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 a date when you believe the situation will be resolved.

**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.

A brief stopover in Mildura on the way to Alice Springs.
This one was tricky because of muggles and of course finding it. The muggles where more interested in eating and playing so they took no notice of us sitting on the grass. Mrs A made the find after a bit of looking along the boundary. I havent seen a hide like this for a while. Enjoyed the view of the loco and visited an appropriate TB. TFTC Princes Peach 25.
 
28-Mar-17
Another great hide. Our GPS seems to be a little off in this town, which made the search a little longer. TFTC
 
26-Mar-17
Found the platform a short while ago but this has evaded me. A popular spot though.
 
14-Mar-17
I was in the area last night but there were too many muggles. This evening the coast was clear and luckily I made the find quite quickly. Thanks PP25.
 
12-Mar-17
After realizing what we were looking for. Bingo found
 
19-Feb-17
Our last night on the Murray River. I had to find this Cache because I love the Harry Potter Books.

Nice little hide. Good hint. TFTC

Thank goodness grumpynutcache was with me today. He is a genius at finding tricky little caches. This is the first I have seen of this kind. TFTC and the lesson in possible disguises.
 
24-Jan-17
Found with Kirs3
Pen not working - see photo
 
24-Jan-17
After several tries we found it. This is a fantastic hide and had us going for sometime. We found with fletch_4 but didnt sign log as forgot a pen. I did take a photo of the log to prove we were there. Absolutely brilliant hide. TFTC
 
17-Jan-17
Find #999 for me!!!! By far the smallest nano I've found. TFTC
 
11-Jan-17
On my first visit yesterday I just looked in the usual nano places both high and low. Then I went away and read the previous logs, which gave me a better idea of what I was looking for and I came back in the dark for some pressure free searching. Unfortunately a single car was parked in just the wrong spot in the nearby car park with lights on. I still had a bit of a look, but couldn't really shine around my torch so gave it up and returned this morning. Muggle central again on this fine day, so that cramped my style a little, so I thought I would just have to concede that you are too good for me and just let this one go for now! Decided to try my luck again tonight shortly before 10 pm. I continue to be amazed at how much traffic, both vehicular and foot, there is at this time of the night and lots of parked cars both along the roadway and in the carpark. Nevertheless all those parked cars actually helped to hide me from view. I confidently went in for the kill, I mean cache, and immediately tasted the thrill of sweet success. Opening the container was a bit tougher, but it succumbed eventually. Finally! Thank you for the hunt. Cache #2572.
 
08-Jan-17
Took a while because of muggles around. Great hide, didn't realise what the clue meant till we found it. TFTC
 
05-Jan-17
Great hide:-) thanks heaps
 
04-Jan-17
Bit tricky and very hot (38) so we quite for now at least might try again later tonight or in the morning when it should be cooler, and we can think straight
 
31-Dec-16
Cool spot for a geocache. Bit tricky for us but the hint helped and when mr6 searched way down low we soon had the cache in hand. TFTC!
 
28-Oct-16
A tricky one with lots of muffles about TFTC
 
17-Oct-16
Lot of green to search
 
16-Oct-16
Nice quick find whilst looking at the river
 
24-Sep-16
Great cache, haven't seen one like this before.
 
11-Sep-16
On our way to Sydney via Mildura, decided to add a few easy ones to our list
Our only DNF for the day. Another searcher joined us with the same result. Watch out for the stinging nettles - if you are "bitten", saliva works a treat
 
11-Sep-16
Found it!!! After a fair search and suggestion from a fellow geocacher about clever hides we found it!! Our first nano. TFTC Smile
 
16-Aug-16
Many muggles around and could not have a good look.
 
08-Aug-16
Gave up we leave tomorrow so that is that good hide i think well done
 
02-Aug-16

Found it!! Nearly gave up
 
09-Jul-16
Heading to Mildura with Clare007 and HevWalker for a couple of events and a couple of days caching. [^] After a particularly NON restful night at Berri that included a noisy fire alarm due to two fires, an evacuation for an hour, firies police and not much sleep. And I was the lucky one. Surprised The ladies had intruders, smoke inhalation and two changes of rooms as well. Razz But after a hearty breakfast it was finally time for some caching. Cool
After spending too long caching and not taking into account the time difference after crossing the border we were about 30 minutes late for the event. Twisted But after a hot lunch it was time for some more caching until the next event for dinner. [^]
After a quick fruitless search we checked the hint. Having seen this type of hide before I knew exactly what I was looking for and we soon had in hand. Smile Thanks princess Peach 25. Big Grin GZ looks very much like it could have been in the movie!
 
09-Jul-16
Found after an extended search with brisal5 & clare007...very cool train...it actually looks like the real thing...a like your hide...thanks
 
09-Jul-16
I was delighted when I discovered we were on the way to a Hogwarts Express cache search.
I have no qualms in admitting that I'm a Harry Potter fan.
brisal5, hevwalker & I soon found that the area was surrounded by, "Muggles" playing soccer.
The hint helped hevwalker make the find, thanks for the great location Lord & Princess
 
08-Jul-16
After dinner a walk with friends returned a find on several caches in the close area
 
08-Jul-16
After dinner we headed out for this cache in the company of Maccamob, Honeysucker and BernieH. It was a pleasant night for a walk abd once at the GZ Honeysucker came up with the goods to sign
Our thanks to Princess Peach25 for the cache
Regards

Travelling from Melbourne to Mildura to attend the "4 months to the Surf Coast Event - Mildura" event this Saturday. It shouldn't really take 12 hours to get there but we are travelling the geocachers route. Chasing some older caches as well as a mix of high favorite counts we had a long drive but visited some great caches.
After dark and the young ones about town seem to congregate here, grabbed the cache quickly and left them to there own devices.
**Thanks for placing this cache Princess Peach 25**
 
08-Jul-16
Found by Mary & David at 2150. Walked on to this cache with The Coffees, Honeysucker and BernieH from our previous find at the station. Many eyes looking make for a quick find. Our last for the day. Our thanks to Princess Peach 25.

#992: I was here yesterday too, but then mini-muggles were all over the place. Early this morning I had the GC to myself. I quicly spotted something that fitted the hint, I hesistated (for an obvious reason....) and then decided to go for it. And yes, the cache! What a tiny nano, it seemed even smaller than the many nano's I have found before. Thanks for all the Harry-Potter caches!
 
28-Jun-16
I walked across from the nearby 'Platform 9 3/4' and made a quick find here. But it was fiddly to get the cache out. TFTC Princess Peach 25.
 
18-Jun-16
Poking about... Nothing found
 
13-Jun-16
Had to return to find the nano that eluded us yesterday - an early morning walk did the trick tftc
 
12-Jun-16
Found dislodged on ground. Relocated where I found it. I hope it's correct

Lots of muggles but nobody aboard today . Nice hide TFTC
 
10-May-16
I though I was stuck for a while.
Nice hide but paper expands when its moist so the log was really quite difficult to access. TFTC
 
08-May-16

We must be out of practice as this one took longer than it should have but just as RamaTim was ready to call it quits, Eureka! Well done Lord Rossatron and TFTC!
