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.

No joy for us either, it's not been found since the update, perhaps another visit from the CO is in order ?
Today was not my day for finding caches in Warragul. I searched for five caches and only found two, initially. I followed the GPS was sending, which was a fair few places. I poked and prodded with nothing but a sad blue face on the map to show for it.
A good look around the area today to no avail. The gps readings were a bit jumpy with the tree cover bot had to leave due to increased muggle activity. Will be back to this nice little spot again soon to have another go tftc Smity53
Sorry, but we have to log this as a DNF though we did end up good and dirty trying to find it. Hope it shows up for the next seeker!
Incredibly hard to find. I don’t really know. I’m guessing I’m looking for a lockbox which would need to be attached to something. But maybe I’m on the wrong wavelength. And maybe it’s a small container with a lock. Hmmmm for another day

I can confirm that the cache is ok and in place. I’ve updated the cords to put the finder into a closer spot. These are the best I can get due to the large amount of trees around! Be kind to the plants (:

I know where this bugger is, and what i need to look for and even on my second try.... you think i can find it???? Aggggghhhhh...... I will be back.... Again (
Well I gave it a crack.
The morning was brisk, the coast was clear.
I prodded and poked.
But sadly the treasure did not reveal itself.
But then again, I'm not very good at looking.

After making a trip to Melbourne yesterday I've gotten everything needed. Happy hunting!
A new container has been ordered. The cache should be active within the next few weeks.
Unfortunately I've received a message from a recent finder and they believe after the recent landscaping works at GZ the cache may be gone. I've worded my parents up to check on it as soon as they arrive home. If anyone searches in the next 48 hours I cannot guarantee the cache is still in place.
Checked cache while walking in the park with the kids - all good.
***Cache container and log in good condition***
***Thanks for placing this cache Smity533***

Clever indeed after a walk through the park I used to maintain for many years...Tftc
After attending the event in Warragul, we tackled quite a few of the local caches, with some of our new acquaintances, and others we met along the way. There were already others here at the time we arrived, taking suggestions of alternate ways to undo this clever device. Eventually the correct solution was obtained and locus cache as well as my name, were added to the log.
There's still a bit of daylight left, time to tackle another one.
Thanks for the opportunity to convert another green blob on our maps to smiling faces.

Found with a group of friends after 7 Months to the event in Warragul.

Warragul[?] An event[?] Mega something or other[?] Hmmm, maybe I'd better go and see what this is all about!
How could I say no to a day trip with Cybergran V for an event and some caching in an area where I don't think I have ever cached before!
Lots of fun was had and I even got to hassle a security guard later in the night when I did a virtual cache that unexpectedly popped up on my GPSr screen [^]
I attended 1 event for my first cache find for the day and then found 16 more actual caches
Sometimes though it isn't about the quantity but it's more about the quality and the people that you have shared time with [^]
Met some other teams here and between us, we managed to find the cache and actually get it open to SL book! [^][^]
Lovely area [^]

Great cache, just no water in the falls today.
Good field puzzle, took a few moments to work it out.
Out caching with Kato Potato, Mummy Short legs, D@geo, Mezza74 and SQAU.
Thank you for the hide Smity533

Attending "7 Months to the event in Alexandra - Warragul". Started the day with only 3 caches we were hoping to achieve. But as with all events cachers talk and here we were on a mini geo-tour of Warragul . Taking a slight detour from the trail of a multi we quickly had the cache in hand - now to open it. Thanks to Kato Potato for determining what we needed to open the cache.
Thanks Smity533 must get my hands on one of those.

After attending the nearby event today I was lucky enough to be included in a mini caching adventure with some familiar faces. Our aim was to tackle some of the long avoided multis around town and one of them just happened to bring us to this park. A slight detour to this cache was clearly indicated. So, despite the very very very sore muscles acquired after a recently attended gym class, I waddled up the hill with the rest of the crew and joined the hunt. An easy find but a not so easy solve. While mummy short legs went hunting for likely numbers further afield i did a quick search closer to home and made some suggestions to gwdaussie who then came up with the goods! Good fun! Thanks for the great cache!
Great cache! Where did you get the puzzle portion? It was great! After trying a few alternatives and alterations, we soon had the log book retrieved!
What a great cache. We had fun finding this one and finding out the code was even more fun. With some help from another geocacher we soon signed the log.
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

We happened to be nearby collecting clues for a multi and decided to jolly well walk on up here for this traditional. A lovely walk up the worst waterfall I've ever seen. A small puddle at the top was all the aquatic offering we received. I'm sure it's beautiful when it actually tries. Either way, d@geo made a quick find then we set about the challenge. A team effort meant Kato Potato came up with the clever idea and gwd.aussie detached the mechanism. The log was signed, cache replaced and we trekked back through this lovely park. TFTC Smity533
Rainy old day. Non geocaching sister found it. Geocaching husband discovered the code while I ran around in the rain looking at any signs.??!! TFTC
Came back to have another go with some more girl power. Everyone had given up but I persevered and I found it. I already had the numbers in mind so it didnt take too long to have it logged. A fav from me. Tyftc
Took the drive to Gippsland this morning to pick up our solar panels for the Camper and collected this nearby cache. Great camouflage on this cache and a nice tricky one to open, but after we looked around and found the numbers needed here, we soon had the lock undone.
We liked this one so much we've added a favourite point to it, cleverly done Smithy533.
Thanks for this cache and placement.

Quick easy find but the code stumped us for a while! Beautiful night to walk around the park. Thanks!
Great find, combination had us stumped for awhile but got it in the end. Thank you found with Khye123
Since it was such a nice day, we decided to take the kids down to the park for dinner. We just happened to pick Civic Park, where there was a cache we hadn't found yet. After enjoying our takeaway (yep, my turn to cook!) we wandered up the path towards the waterfall.
We reminisced about our wedding day, when we had a photo taken on the bridge at the base of the waterfall. We lamented the fact that the water was currently turned off. And eventually, we reached GZ.
A brief hunt around had the cache in hand, but the adventure didn't stop there. We then had to figure out what 3 digits could possibly be the combination. We tried a few different numbers to no avail. Then we read the hint and realised what we had to do. Thanks for the cache Smity533

Out with kmps to find a few of the new Caches in town. Well done Smity533.Love the cache container. Will give a fav point.
After a little cache maint with TheGGGs we grabbed a couple while out and about
this being one of those. Found it retrieved it signed it and replaced it after having
to over heat the brain and little with digits. Thanks Smity533 FTC. Fav added.

After searching everywhere and getting a wet bum finally found it tftc first for 2017 found with apple460 and teammoss5
Ha ha wasn't going to let this beat me after a paf to get a settled location the search was one upon finding it the hint made sense ended with a wet bottom forgetting it had rained while i tried to figure it out. Happy to mark this one off as the first for 2017 tftc as always with grannygeo64 & apple460
Unfortunately its a dnf for me after spending 20 minutes on this one with a gps that wouldn't settle kept putting me 2km away and the sun my annoyance grew but not before i found the old cache called chinese garden by the bounty trackers. Which of course is no longer available. My excitement died after that. I will be back and i will be logging a find
Had a look around but couldn't pin this one down. Mobile phone GPS are not always the most accurate. Will return another day

What a race!! Having Christmas dinner at my best friends house, all sitting around the table trying to explain Geocaching to my besties husband as the alert came through. Well I've never ran out the door so fast. Got a glimpse of the cache name in the car just as my phone went flat. Aaaahhhhh as we
Got to warragul it turned on. Raced to GZ only to find we had been beaten by de ja vu.
Great hide!!! You best me again, I was planning one here too

3TF phone was on silent and I just got home from work just sat down to check my emails and found there was a new cache only 3.47kms away and it was only published 30 minutes ago so I jump in my car and was off to find the cache but when I arrived I was greeted by De Ja Vu, Lottlot & Corey ( maybe a future cacher ) just coming up the path so it was a quick chat Trish had to get Corey back home to his parents so she left and Rob & Kate wondered back down the stairs with me to retrieve the cache. Nice cache first one I've seen like this. Giving it a fav point. Thanks Smity 533 for the cache.
