Unfortunately some clean up work has taken place in the area and the cache is no longer around.

--------

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by 8th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) 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 don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.

- 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 (by 8th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

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 at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) it on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the instructions posted above.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

The area now looks very, very different to what it looked like when I found the cache.
I suggest the CO should pay it a visit ... I suspect it is now gone.

There is evidence of a fairly recent clean up in this area. The cache may need to be checked - is it still in its hidey hole?

On dark but kids used phone torch n found it.. Haven't been but there still on to it.. Thanks
Left Pink skull keyring cheers happy days

Erinku found 5-5-18

This was a nice find, only took about 5 minites. I liked the hint

Cool spot like this

Fun find close to home TFTC

Tftc. On a lunch break. Forgot to bring a swap, nevermind . A nice open park for the locals. A quick find so much appreciated.

First cache I’ve found with toys in it! How exciting. I was with RuskyDaHusky who swapped a toy.

Went for little trip with MichelleGeo66 and 65Coupe. I swapped a small toy for a rubber snake. TFTC.

We 'dug' this one. Thanks.

Nice quick find

A caching day on my own while Petal is at work, so I headed for Traralgon again to get a few more from what's available, this being one of them.

A nice easy find, thanks kstam for the placement here.

Nice one.
As with so many cache locations I had no idea this park was here.
I nice spot to sit, relax and enjoy my delicious mocha coffee.
Thanks for a great cache.

Found with Roostaman while visiting the area.

Gooood

Great Cache.

Good hide

Great hide. Good to come and remember those that serve and served.

A quick dash to find this one in between rain showers so that I can get the Blue Switch souvenir. Thanks for placing this cache!

First find for me anf my daughter very excited!

Nobody watching so I snuck in for the find... Tftc

Sorry for the late log. Found with giraffe_legs

Didn't think to look there at first

A nice park that I had all to myself, probably because of the drizzle rolling across at regular intervals. Even on a cloudy day the GPS needle got down to zero, and I found this nicely sized hide.
Thanks to kstam for the cache.

Nice to see a memorial to the first Australians and Torres Strait islanders who fought for our country.

Found on a nice day in Traralgon. Just visiting but threw in a few hunting trips!

Nice little hide, full of great trinkets

Needing to pick somewhere to break the drive we chose this cache. A quick search and geoD soon had the prize to hand.

Thanks for brining us to this lovely little park.

TNLN SL TFTC

Found with my beautiful friend. Sneaky quick find. Tftc.

Late to log found this one Wednesday after doing the last of the Christmas shopping. With the kids passed out in the car we were just around the corner so we thought why not. Minus a jumpy gps go with those caching eyes i had muggle brain at the start. As always tftc with grannygeo & apple460

What a lovely Park found very clever tftc found with apple460 and teammoss5

Good easy drop off tb sl tftc with noonab

Found this one pretty easily, didn't think it'd be there at first for longevity but it was! Some
Great swaps in here, took a couple and placed a few more in return. Grabbed some travel bugs off belladekka too.

Nice Cache a great day out with SQAU

Found it with aqau while heading back to Bairnsdale after attending a Christmas party in the area.

Lovely spot.... even with the creepy crawlers guarding it well! TFTC
Took TB and taking it for a trip to WA after showing my joey scouts next week... they have been wrapped with geocaching treasure hunts and the story that goes with this one is pretty special
Thanks again

Nice spot and park
Found with michelleclerks

Found it retrieved it signed it and replaced it. Left TB to find some more
spots to rest.. Thanks kstam FTC.

Suspicious when it led us into the trees but great sneaky find!

Have been meaning to collect this one on the way to dropping my kids off for a few weeks now but today, happily kid-free and between work appointments, with a recently purchased coffee in hand I decided to make the trip. Using the coffee as a disguise (person on a work tea break, clearly!) I wandered across this park that I've never stopped at before. Looking slightly incongruous given my work clothes I ducked into the tree line, scrutinised my phone and have a brief search. Stuck my hand a little querulously into a dark place... and cane out with some dark goods! Nice and simple (apart from the fear of creepy crawlies!). Thanks for the cache and for breaking into the Ellavale virgin territory!

Tftc!

Thought i would grab this while in town. Was going to get it yesterday on remembrance day but could get here. TFTC

Found it on Remembrance Day.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget

[Scrat](https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=4376822&page=1) visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

After a short drive from our location in the Traralgon CBD we soon had the cache in hand. Thanks. Silkyie

Found it Kstam! Left some ninja turtle ooshie and kinder surprise swaps! Great hide and great coordinates. What a fantastic cache and a glorious day in this freshly grass cut park! Love it! TFTC

No cigar today

A woman pottered beyond the fence-line
Felt quite creepy crunching around in the undergrowth
Spent twenty minutes with no success

Gippsland's worst searcher strikes again!

*FTF* at 1:15pm

Today was not a good parenting day. It had started well, with arts and crafts, biscuit baking and the baby slept too, but when the baby vomited for the third time (not ill, just so excited by his new drink bottle that he's drinking so much he vomits) and continued his day-long tantrum, I HAD to get out of the house. I saw on facebook that the Traralgon East CFA were having an open day and thought, a 1 and 3 year old boy and fire trucks, this is sure to be a hit. I get out there, with an awesome stop at the train tracks where the boys can watch a train zoom past and then it just devolves into more hell. The 1 year old has a panic about the giant koala mascot and everyone in sight is smoking (it's a kids' event at a fire brigade for pete's sake!?! What is wrong with you people?). So we're hightailing it back to the car when a text comes in about a new cache. I dismiss it.....then glance at the proximity to home.......Anzac Park....why do I know that name?

No trains stop us at the crossings, we spot the familiar park, I find the perfect side-street to park in and I unload the boys. Up the hill, through the thick, just-mown grass to gz. Just as I'm peering at the phone, checking the (excellent!) coordinates, the 3 year old shouts "CACHE!!!!! A CACHE!!!!" and absolutely dives in head first for it. Just so you know, you made his day. He's never been the first person in the party to spot the cache, even though we've let him think he was, and I could not be prouder. Then, as he exacted the honour of opening the cache with the 1 year old, the fact that Thomas the Tank was in there, well, he nearly blew his lid with excitement. Thank you for the FTF coin, we've also taken the TB to journey onwards (Thomas is still in situ as we had no swaps on hand), congratulations on your first cache and because of the joy you gave a little boy today, we're giving you a favourite point. BTW; exciting to find a really big 'small' cache too, great camouflage.
