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

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that may need some attention. You would have received an email regarding this recently so perhaps it is time 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.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** 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 (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.
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 information/advice posted above.

I thought this would be an easy grab after dropping geokid Matthew at Bounce. I parked in the street and confidently strolled to GZ. I searched high and low, stuck my had in places I probably shouldn’t and nothing. I left disappointed and went pickup the geokid only to return for a second go this time with his help. Still nothing. Just a big DNF Hrmpf !!!!
Found at 13:42
An early knock off today and a detour for a couple of caches on the way home. A very nice park that I enjoyed walking a couple of laps. The cache was an easy find for me as from the angle I approached, the sunlight caught it and it reflected nicely.
Thanks GeoQuacks for the cache.

We haven’t been finding too many treasures recently, but this was an easy find for the kids after dropping Mummy off at work on a Sunday morning. Left the orange skeleton head and took the badge.
Found @05:30am. I work in nearby Cato St so this has been on my radar for some time now. Finally decided today was the day so I got up a little earlier and found it very quickly, took me a few more minutes to work out how to get it out while in my work clothes and before I knew it the log was signed and it was time for coffee.

Mrs Crackers was meeting up with Crackergirl in Richmond and had some spare time on this lovely autumn afternoon to look for a couple of caches. I attempted "That Was Too Easy" and enjoyed wandering around the park collecting all the information but was muggled out at gz. This was the next closest and I was surprised to see the reference to Anderson Park. I had indeed enjoyed the view there but was even happier to find that this park was muggle free enabling me to have a very quick find and sign before replacing the cache back in it's hidey hole.
Thanks GeoQuacks for the cache, we are glad that you returned to the game.

Quick find together with Parkermon, while in the area for a race. Swapped a ring for an acorn with a hat.

Quick find on way home from the footy with the setting sun making a pretty backdrop. Took TB. Thanks to GeoQuacks for placing this cache.
Find #3348. Found @ 19:38
On the way home after an appointment and I decided to divert in the opposite direction to grab this cache. There must have been some sort of activity going on across the road because there was a sporadic stream of muggles to and from there. This had the side effect of making my torch lit search more staccato than I'd intended.
It didn't take me long to locate the container though, and I retrieved it and retreated to the nearby illuminated seating to sign. Having found a trackable within, I decided to swap with one I've been carrying.
With the cache returned to it's hiding place, I returned to mine.
Took trackable, left trackable signed log and visited some other trackables.

Just catching up on logs.... A nice find on the way to the city. I discovered the TB but didn’t pick it up. Nice park
Well I searched for this one for some time, It wasn't in any of the obvious locations but then after a while I saw it sitting right out in the open on the wall! Can't believe I didn't see it earlier but I guess I was looking for something hidden rather than something out in the open. I dropped a TB and returned the cache to where I thought it should be, but CO might want to check ( and let me know if you can't find it!)

Nice, easy find on the way home from the multicultural event in the city. TFTC
TFTC, quick find on a lunchtime walk. Had to wait for breaks between muggles out on a nice day for a walk to fetch and replace cache.
23:01
At the end of the holiday weekend, a late foray using the train and the bike...
The ride to this one from the north was a good workout. The cache was where I hoped upon arrival, nice placement indeed, GeoQuacks.

The geokids were supposed to help but when they saw the park, they were off. No help at all except for finding go! Great natives- trees and birds. No muggles and only a low hum from the freeway. Tftc
What a view from Anderson Park!
This is a nice spot too.
A quick find.

Found with +Wife.
We actually did the multi in Anderson Park first.
Looking at the map afterwards and noticed this was almost the last cache not found by me.
A situation that called for action!
Although the road was quite busy, GZ is nicely secluded.
Thanks for the cache GeoQuacks.
Took the Millenium Falcon TB.

No sign of "Greed" the Dashing Duck, but since the old cache went missing I guess you already know that. Perhaps it is time to mark it as "Missing"...

Needed a small to drop off trackable. Good urban sized cache. This is my confidence in letting it remain. Just the busy road at busy times may be a problem but good hiding spot. Thanks GeoQuacks for the cache.
Anderson Park’s awesome isn’t it! When I have time on my lunch break I grab a bench and enjoy the views.
Found today on this hot day, with nobody around, here’s hoping it isn’t muggled again. Thanks!

Cache being replaced today. Sorry for the delay. A smaller container until it passes the test of time. The big one was a bit expensive to lose so soon.
New container in place. Please make sure it is well hidden. I will put a camoflauged bigger one back if this survives for a few months.
First cache of 2018! I meant for it to be the last of 2017 (on Dec 31), but then got sidetracked watching kids and families play at Anderson Park. So we went back this evening to find it. Nice hiding spot, and the box was big enough to leave a trackable. TFTC!
Planned to get this cache as I looked up caches that had the word VIEW in them. Unfortunately the view of the city’s fireworks was quite limited, but without time to go to the park we drove past (in Anderson st) we walked around until we could look through the trees and the buildings to see the fireworks.
Thanks for the cache here, it was quite deserted tonight

Sneaking in a few caches doing the playground rounds with the Geokids on a pleasant Melbs afternoon. Really cool hide and plenty in there for swaps. Also a Dora TB is again on her journey. TFTC
Out with au.fait, we had a very quick find and time to look at the Melbourne skyline. Thanks GeoQuacks
Out with echidna44 and made a quick find here. The lid had been screwed on so tightly I was wondering if I would be able to access the log but eventually managed to unscrew it. Discover a TB. TFTC GeoQuacks
Down in Melbourne for an appointment and still having MEGA fever could not resist the urge to find a few more caches. It’s a very hot spring day and the park provided a number of cool rest spots. Thank you for placing the cache and bringing us here - glad you returned to the game
Very cool urban hide we have just spent time at Alexandra at the mega my endocrinologist is just around the corner from here so couldn’t resist picking this up with geo wife jojobeenie good size Cache to for an urban area very cool thanks for your efforts here nice park we sat in the shade as it was 30 degrees listening to the birds
We had a social engagement at a local pub but figured we could pass by this cache on the way. Mrs LZZ complained about not using the steps and approached GZ the hard way but the cache was quickly found at 18:15 and we were on our way. Thanks GeoQuacks
I needed to fill a spot in the calendar and this one was close by, so off I went. It was getting on dark and I was worried that I might have some trouble, but I found it relatively easily. It was just there! As I was signing the log a hipster strolled past, but as he was wearing ear phones and I was dressed in darkish clothes I'm pretty sure he had no idea I was there. Unfortunately as I was leaving my hair got snagged on a tree branch! Urrgghhh. I was less than elegant in getting untangled and left with a birds nest of a hair-do and minus one hair-tie. If you find a black hair tie at GZ it's mine! Sorry nature, I really did look very thoroughly for it, but it was getting darker and darker.
Out for our daily cache with the geodog! We were hoping for a nice view... But we're disappointed when we found out the view was from a different park... Ahh well.. we got our log signed and our streak remains unbroken.
Welcome back to caching. And congrats on your first published cache. This was a quick park and grab for our streak.
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.
I thought about making an effort for a FTF on this one when it was first published but decided that a local cache in the context of an attempt at a long streak was far more valuable so I kept this one in reserve until today.
I must say this is a great placement and just proves that cachers are very resourceful. Many is the pocket park I have passed and said to myself, great place but where is the cover for a potential GZ what with the trend to plant ground hugging shrubs and smooth trunked trees so that the playground (if there is one) has sight lines to all corners of the recreational space.
This placement goes to show that you really need to get out of the car and have a good look around. The trees do a masterful job of hiding a cacher once at GZ and of course provide the right spot to hold a cache and a goodly sized one at that in the urban context.
Your eldest knows what they are doing.

Find #2099 logged at GZ at 8:06 PM. I too have been relatively inactive but could not let this one pass. Too close to home! Nicely hidden with a great view of approaching muggles. T4TC GeoQuacks!
This one is just outside my 5km zone, but I thought I would collect it as well as a few others today. Thankfully, no one in the park, so I could search happily. A good sized container was soon in hand and I added my name.
Thanks for the cache, GeoQuacks, and welcome back!

Given the recent logs mentioning the large container, I have updated the listing to regular size.
Thanks for all the finds, my daughter is very excited to look in the logbook.

Having arrived a bit earlier, this was where I met up with abl973 as we had a small run around the area. This a good sized container in a logical hiding spot, well done on your first hide. Thanks to GeoQuacks for the cache.
This was my first find for today as I met up with Square_pegs on a short urban run and you know what? I think I've been out here before looking for a cache. Nice work on the hide. Thanks GeoQuacks.
Found on 28 Oct 2017 at 9:38 am.
I had 30 minutes spare so a quick drive up the freeway was in order. Great on Saturday morning...parking everywhere.
There weren't too many places to hide a small cache around here but once I found it I reckon that's closer to a regular size. Still with no one around I signed the log and headed on my way.
Thanks GeoQuacks for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

STF at 3:30 pm.
I was busy when the notification of this newie came through so I couldn't leave immediately. I knew I needed to pass GZ on the way to an appointment later this arvo so I finished what I was doing and then headed off a bit earlier than I intended on the off-chance that the cache hadn't been found by the time I got there. Unfortunately the traffic was horrendous, being mainly mums in their 4WDs heading to pick up their kids from school, so it took me twice as long as usual to get to GZ.
I easily found a parking spot near GZ. There were still no found logs on the cache page so I was hopeful. Thanks to the spot-on co-ords I found the cache quickly but when I looked in the logbook I saw that I had been beaten by B1. It was a shame that he had already headed off as I had a few things I wanted to tell him about....table tennis stuff not geocaching. Anyway, I was happy to sign the logbook at 3:30 pm, for my 34th STF. I took the TB and left a smurf. Unfortunately it took me about 30 minutes to return the cache to its hiding spot as lot of school kids decided to hang around GZ until their parents picked them up.
Thanks GeoQuacks for the well-hidden cache in a very busy location....mainly when the schoolies get out. Glad to see that you are back caching. [^] I still remember doing your now archived Duck Pond Bridge cache, which was close to where I live, and also the horrible event that took place there not long after I found the cache.

A symphony of car horns.
That is what the bananas heard when we decided to hold up a lot of traffic when unexpectedly we decided to turn right. Their flash cars appeared to be backed up all the way to the Tooronga Rd Railway Crossing.
But once they were all told that we were hunting for a new geocache they all clearly understood and the rest of the traffic parted like Mosses and the water.
So as you can understand the arrival was quick.
So quick we were the first ones here. (FOH).
Arrival saw a gentleman who looked like he was signing his geocaching report but closer examination just indicated he was one of those old men who suspiciously hang around schools.
But while there, he had been given the benifit of the doubt.
Anyway a superb container was found where simular others have been known to use mint tins or micros. Short of an ammo can this has to be as close as you can get to excellent. Hope the riff raff don't find it.
Anyway as we are not very good at this game, it is always nice to do less steps at GZ than getting here.
The bananas thankyou as we drive now quitely through the parted traffic, waving to everyone for our success here.
