Hi there Cache Owner,
It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue with the placement. The cache is being temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.
Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current COVID19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue.
CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel it is safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame, as long as there is some indication from the CO. Don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.
#What should you do:-#
- Should the regional Health and Victorian Government requirements allow it **AND** you feel it safe for you to maintain this cache now, please feel free to do so. Don't forget to log an 'Owner Maintenance ' log and also Enable the cache once the issue is fixed.
- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.
#Please Note#
When the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.
**JUST A HINT:-** In case you are not aware, there is a 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)
Thanks for you cooperation,

What a beautiful sunny blue sky day and perfect day for a bike ride!
This was a nice park to visit and see the birds on the water. The cache was a quick find between muggles however I did not sign the soaking wet log as the pages were all stuck together. Photo taken for evidence if required.
Thanks for the hide and a showing another great place for a barbecue for future times.

Found it, there was water inside and the log was soggy, nevertheless, a good spot.
This was our second visit to the park as there were too many muggles around last time - a lovely afternoon for a walk. Thanks for the cache! The log was a bit wet - some maintenance needed.
Lovely weather today but it's humid and finding your cache
Geojill_11, thank you so much for placing it.

Thanks for the cache. Log was soggy and full of water. Tried drying it out a little though the logbook will need to be changed soon.
YAPIDKA! What a lovely park. Rarely venture past a particular meridian so nice discovery TFTC
After not finding 2 other caches we were determined to find this one! We did it with help of photos. Unfortunately our pen ran out of ink as well. Tricky find, but we did it.
After spending most of the day indoors on this beautiful day, it was time to get outdoors. Geo kid 1 and her muggle friend in tow, we set out for Namatjira Park for a geocaching adventure.
A pleasant walk through the park to the GZ. Nice lake and various birds wading and sitting on the banks. Saw a lovely family of ducks complete with ducklings.
At GZ geo kid 1 makes a quick find.
Container a bit damp and filled with a little bit of unnecessary rubbish. We removed it and only left some actual nice swaps that were already in there. We dried out the container and signed the log.
At the end of the walkway the kids saw some fur on the ground. We all had a discussion about which animal it could be from. Geo kid 1 and her muggle friend thought it was fox fur . I had thought it looked more like possum.
There were 2 others to find nearby so we made our way to those next, opting to take a short cut on the grass lake verge rather than the bridge.
Thank you for the cache here Geojill_11

Found after a pleasant walk in the park, signed and visited thankyou for bringing me to this place and cheers.
Are we missing something? Should be here but we can't spot it even after scrabbling around on all fours
Those pesky trolls know how to hide them. Took 20 minutes for find this one. But they got outsmarted. Great spot.
Cache was wet but logbook was dry. What a neat little park filled with interesting wildlife. Thank you for bringing me here.
Thank you for the cache.
Thank you for the cache.
Enjoyed the walk from the car park to GZ .. I was accompanied on my walk across the grass by a friendly group of swamp hens .. I guess they thought I had food!! The cache was quickly found, it was full of water but the logbook was ok. THanks Geojill_11 for placing the cache.
I had to wait a little while for the coast to clear.
Then my search started.
Luckily found in the second spot I looked.
I took the bench seat and signed the llog.
Then moved on my way.

Out and about on a (reasonably) nice Saturday afternoon, hunting for some caches in the area. Took me a little while here before seeing the hiding spot - TFTC!
Was DNF last November so today after work to find some caches in Clayton area for doing the Mystery at the Museum challenge. Found it. Thanks Geojill_11 for placing the cache
Today I went out to collect some of the 35 caches required to place the jewels in the vault for Mystery at the Museum.
I had a lovely walk around this beautiful park. A windy day, and a very quick find. Thanks Geojill_11

OMG the cache slipped way down and took a bit to retrieve it. Nice location. TFTC
I have an addiction. Why else would I be out hunting for a cache on an icy windy morning? Ah, the joy of discovery, fortunately a quick find. Sat on the seat to write the log. Dropped Magic TB. TFTC
Initially headed below and had a good look about with no success. Then resorted to blindly groping about and felt something familiar - there’s a joke there about taking my hand out of my pocket, but no that would be too rude? Cache retrieved and log signed and onto the next.. thanks..!!
In the area gathering supplies for a job when I found myself with some time to waste. I have cached this park before so I know the trails and how quickly I can scoot around them. With many a muggle wandering the park also I needed to wait a bit for the coast to clear before I attempted to search. This gave me time to contemplate where I should be searching and narrowed down my options. With a noticeable break in the foot traffic I went for it and the cache was easily discovered in the second location I looked. Sat and signed the log book, then looked back at who had been here before me. Now all I need is another opportunity to put the cache back. This may take a while. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams
Ah ha! Trust the 9 year old to understand the hint! Brilliant!
Found some muddy boots also!
Happy Mothers Day!
