Cache is lost and I’m not living within reasonable distance to continue to care for it. Apologies for not archiving sooner!

Will take a look at its whereabouts by 8/8/21. Not sure what has happened to it!

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

Hi there adrianmldn,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.

You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.


- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page telling them what the situation is, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and, when the listing is next checked, all will be fine for a little bit longer. But be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.
If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date), please ensure you visit this page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks so as to keep everyone up to speed with what is happening.


- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another Geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**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.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

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

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Found by Poppy,Nick,Evan,Dimi 13/4/20

Definitely a good hid.

Nice find, took a little bit of looking to get it

Cracks

Found it look between the rock in the coner

Found!

Ye its their thought i may get jabbed by syringes but yeah anyways

It was crazy how we found it when I had no clue how these worked. 10/10 would goecach again.sadley we didn't have a pen

Fun looking for it, might have to scavenge through for a while.

Found by pure luck

Found pretty quickly but was just luck, might have to bend to find it

Lots of scrambling around the bank of a smelly creek looking in all manner of nooks and crannies but no luck.

Finally got it after poking around - how many times did I look in that spot! It was the sound that did it! TFTC

Found a comfy rock to sit on and claim the find. Thanks.

We saw the kangaroos
Thanks for the cache

First find!

We Were about to give up but we read the hit and it help use and then I saw a pic someone did and it help us too. It took us 36 minutes to find but such a good catch -Anastasia & Dimi

2nd found with my goergeous bf

Phew. This mystery at the museum thing makes you work hard. I had to cycle a good 5-10km to get my last clue. Now for the gems! Please be close!

Nice quick find on a cloudy day !

I had a meeting in Reservoir today and decided to find a a couple of caches afterwards for the Mystery at the Museum adventure. This was the second of the two caches that I found today. I parked in Davidson St, about 40 metres from the cache, and then wandered over to GZ. I searched a couple of spots without success and then spotted the cache when I looked from the right spot and from the right angle. [^] A couple of dog walkers passed by before I could grab the cache. I soon retrieved it and signed the log at 3:45 pm. TNLN. I carefully returned the cache to its hiding spot.

Thanks adrianmldn & sarazamia for the cleverly camo'd cache. I haven't found a cache container like that before. I didn't see any kangas today but the grasslands looked interesting.

Out and about with echidna44 for another enjoy day of caching with a new challenge in mind. Its to catch a jewel thief. Having done some prep on what we needed it we are now on their track. Parked very close and with a short walk and a muggle to pass by we checked out a few options before we had it in hand. Brings back memories of cleaning those shoes. Thanks for the cache adrianmidn & sarazamia

Out with xambo4u, we were chasing shadows, fingerprints and footprints with extras along the way. We parked close by and as I waited for the GPS to settle, xambo4u came up with the find. Thanks sarazamia

Took us a bit longer than it should as we saw the hide but looked elsewhere first. When we finally circled back there it was. Tftc

Foundcorrect side marked. Great treasures to look at. Left a treasure also.

A fun little drive by for the way home. I'm a bit of a grassland nerd, so was very excited to see that! It had a couple of burn patches, a big requirement for top tier grassland management, which was amazing to see. I'm very keen to see it in spring! Thanks for bringing me somewhere new I wouldn't have seen otherwise, and for a great cache!

Great hiding spot, bit stinky though. Cool tin

Definitely one to revisit on another day.

Was a good cash but guarded by zombie flesh smell

Nice quick find on my way home TFTC

I wasn't sure where to park the car for this one end ended up at the shops in Moira St. I used to go to the milk bar here when I was a kid and we were visiting my aunty and cousins who lived in Anstey Avenue. I spent so much time in this area as a child and young adult.
It was a nice walk to the cache site, but the cache was a little more difficult than I expected.
Found it in the end. TNLN. TFTC.

This cache was hard work, one of those where you look in all the wrong spots before you find the right spot. Clambering up and down and then up again. I was so glad to see the cache I almost kissed it. I have never seen a container like this before. Cool.

Could not for life of us find it

Bit of a generic log for the ones found today, Sunday morning in Melbourne and sun yet again is shining so thought I'd go for a drive and find a few more caches in the nearby suburbs. Needed to go out early before it gets ridiculously hot. Today was fairly successful with 8 finds and 2 did not finds. 80% hit rate is pretty good.

Well this one took far longer than it should off, I searched under every rock, it smells bad there right now with all the rain and has lots of wasps and other insects everywhere. Anyway I eventually found it after reading the description again and again. Cache was a great container.

Log book signed and returned.

Thanks for the cache and the hide.
Find #291

I haven't seen many cache containers like thi sone.
Nice easy find with the clue and a much smaller cave than I expected.
Thanks guys

Found the cache no problem. Interesting container.

Tftc

Nice quick find to finish the day off!

Finding some areas to walk Shadow the geodog this afternoon. Found this one quickly enough and then walked along the track and spotted the kangaroos.
TNLN
thanks adrianmldn & sarazamia

TFTC nice little hide

TFTC

Found with help. A harder find than it should have been. Nice unique hide. TFTC.

Awesome spot, too many spiders!!!

Awesome spot bring change of clothes will get wet

Good one

We wanted to give up, because I could still discover the cache.
Thanks for the idea and the hiding. Greetings, Reki

Nice one do me it

Found this one after much looking around too low. If it was a snake it would’ve bit me. Nicely hidden in a container I have never seen before. I had to take it to the car to fill out the log as it started to rain just as I found it. Left a little critter and my tag. TFTC

Well we’re on a roll today. Headed out with GeoSon to pick up a couple before heading to the dentist. I’d seen this one on the map for a while and today was the day to turn it into a smilie. Thanks for the hide, I also was new to this type of container

Good to find a new container once in awhile. TFTC

DNF did not find it

Clever spot and a different sort of box. T4TC

Nice hide. Took Whale Wars travel bug. Forgot pen! Thanks!

Nice

Noice!!

Loved this hide. Great spot. Thanks for the hind.

Nice hide! Cransie and krams and cook

Pleasant day for caching. TFTC.

Very easy

It took 30min for me to find it but in the end we did but the sad thing was that there was nothing in there

After a visit to the nearby Edwardes Lake and enjoying all the exercise equipment and playgrounds along the walking path I finally convinced the kids to get back in the car. After finding the caches located here first of course. So on the way back home we programmed a short detour to go past another couple of local caches and this was our first stop. After a quick search and a couple of different ideas I looked from the right angle and thought I spotted something. I wasn't sure whether it was the cache or not so carefully prodded it a bit closer and sure enough there it was. Interesting container to use for the hide, I don't think I've seen anything like that before. Thanks for the cache adrianmldn & sarazamia.

Needed to make some use of the remaining long weekend and want to get as close to 200 as possible
Clever little container....

i really wanted to find a cache on the first, and at the beginning of the week, it wasnt looking likely as I had a full schedule, but hoorah! infectiopus diseases are rampaging through schools at the moment, like a roman army, but with germs, (not that roman armies were devoid of germs). As a mum of four, I dont often feel joyful when schools send home the red slip of doom, but this time, it was a client with a case of hand, foot and mouth, and not one of my children. although I felt sorry for the client, I was secretly glad to have a chance to nip over and get me a cache. I have a black, black soul. obviously. Looking on the wrong side of the creek, from where the GPS indicates, but the one that 'felt right' from the description and hint, I eventually found this cache, after a little unecessary rock hopping. I, too enjoyed the novelty of the container and the way in which it opened and closed. I even googled it a little later, when I got home, to see if I could find what it was. I had presumed some sort of fancy-pants balm or something. maybe I was wrong, as I never found it on google. Later after getting a little lost, and driving back past the spot where I had been sitting, a large dog was sniffing the area with interest. maybe he was interested in caching too?

What a terrific hide, I really liked this one I wondered what the works were all about and maybe the cache was disrupted because of them however I got down and dirty and find what I was looking for. Took nothing but left a coin.
Thanks to the owners.

2nd time coming and managed to find it this time it's a pretty good spot considering it's location

Took about 15 mins of searching, first find

Suscoe was up in Melbourne today.
A coolish day indeed with a few showers passing through and a little sun from time to time.
Well after all it is getting closer to Winter starting in 24 sdays.
The weekend makes such a difference caching in Melbourne, much quieter than the working week thank goodness.
Thanks to adrianmidn & sarazamia for this hide.
Found it today with quiet good co-ordinates.
It seemed on the correct side for us!

After a busy morning doing the caches along the M80 trail between Lalor and Greensborough with Posums and my geosidekick, we were making our way home the long way to take in a few more caches.

Posums had been here before, and had failed to make the find, so he brought in the A-team, which is pretty much me reading the cache description to my geosidekick, while she madly searches for it, usually making the find before I even get a chance to look!

Posums was crawling all over one side of the creek, while I was directed by the geosidekick to look on the other. After a few minutes search, my eagle-eyed companion began laughing at us - she had spotted the cache from the bridge, while Posums and I were madly searching everywhere to no avail. She is just unstoppable, this woman!

TFTC adrianmldn & sarazamia, and for the interesting container too! I've never seen one of these before, and I've been racking my brain trying to work out what it once would have contained.

Out and about with chof_hoe for the day picking up a few caches in the area
I have been here before and could not pinpoint GZ
With his and his partners set of eyes we soon had the cache in hand
I was looking in the wrong area after reading a few of the previous logs
A clever container that was fun to open and close
Signed off with chof-Pos
Thanks sarazamia TFTC

Find number 6045 at 4:25:45 pm
Found in the first place I looked but sadly not the only place I looked.
I tried every corner (so to speak) and eventually came back to the starting point to spot the likely location and sure enough, there it was.
**Thanks for placing this cache adrianmldn**

Searched the area and located the cache on the opposite side of the creek to the side the GPSr indicated. Go figure.
TFTC

Had a quick look at the cache after seeing a DNF. Some shrub is covering the area that it's hidden so I tried to move it out of the way. It's a little bit tougher to find than usual but you should manage! Happy caching!

My first geocache couldn't find it but I will be sure to try again soon

A drive out to this cache with the geokids and geodog. It was a dark night and we started to look. Given the map it looked like the cache was on one side of the creek so we looked there. However this wasn't the case. At the other side, we soon sound it. Very interesting container. Signed and returned.

Thanks,

One last little detour on the way home from a funeral for a friend.

Caching by torchlight is always fun. Parking nearby, I was initially concerned about the amount of rain we've just had, but I needn't have worried.

It's been a long time since I've seen or used one of those containers. Well done, adrianmldn & sarazamia.

I'll be back for this one, a great area off main roads thanks to the owner for placing it.

No kangaroos today. The cache was located, log signed and cache replaced. Thanks adrianmldn, great container.

Parked up the street and had a short walk to this hide, started looking on wrong side of creek, but soon had GZ in sight, A very unusual container, which I have never seen before, but not difficult to open, stamp signed log and replaced as found, Thanks adrianmldn, the nearby grasslands are well worth a visit and preserving, Picked up the TB for some more travelling

There was a trick to it.
As this banana doesn't do makeup the container was looked at in awe.
Nicely engineered.
Different
And appropriately shaped for the position where found.
That was the easy bit.

Now how do you get the damn thing open?

Snap.....

Looked inside and

How do you get it closed?

Snap.....

Just like a magician.

Nice quick drive by, Fancy a cave in this area. There is a knack to opening and closing the cache lid, so take care and read the instructions.Dropped off a TB. Thanks **adrianmldn**. TFTC
