Hi there Tally Tiger,

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 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)

Thanks for your cooperation,

Another in a long list of DNFs, think its time for CO to check if its still there.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Had a good look around, but alas looks like it’s gone

Today we did not find Nuts about caching on our travels. We searched the object at GZ, I have to admit with all the DNF’s our hopes weren’t high of finding the cache...& it is hot today so our search may have been a bit half hearted. We poked around hoping we’d see something promising but it was not to be.

Thanks Tally Tiger for being part of our geocaching fun.

Must be missing

Spent 25 minutes looking here in all the nooks but could find any of this cache at all. I think it could have been muggled.

DNF

Think we found the correct spot however cache Itself appeared to be missing?

Didn’t find the cache.

Thanks for rhe hide. Lovely park.

Mrs frilk and I were on our isolation walk getting much needed exercise during these strange times. Although the skies were grey, the temperature on the cooler side, and the rain mildly persistent it was great to get some fresh air.

A quick find. TNLN. TFTC.

Note: hand sanitiser was used prior to handling the cache and after it's return

Sunday stroll in the park. Nice hide. TFTC TNLN CIGC

We found it it was hidden perfectly dad just went there's a hole here I went and just saw it but we had wait minutes because like you said there's lots muggles

Drivibg by, thought we will grab this cache... A lovely park.
Got out of the car it was dry as a bone, then the skys opened.
TFTC ZACAATT

All quiet in the park aside from a few dogs in the distance. TFTC

Phew. Easy for a 7yo. Thx a heap!

Absolutely amazing area! Great hiding spot too!

Mad Invite

Found it! Great spot, not to hard just look around and be careful of bugs and cockroaches!

Today we were out caching without quiet1_au and lochb so concentrated on caches that they had already found. This was the last for the day and in a lovely spot. We were impressed by so many off-lead dogs that weren’t escaping, don’t think we would be able to say the same for our puppy if she was with us!! Lol Cache was reasonably quickly found and in good condition. Left 2 TB’s

It’s a nice day to be out caching. I had to drop geo kid 1 at an activity and the other two geo kids 2 & 3 came with me.
As soon as we parked the car we could see the beauty in this park. The green grass and trees , people walking their dogs or just strolling through. The kids couldn’t decide which tree they would climb. There was just too much choice. Then they saw the acorn tree and their eyes lit up like dinner plates.
Well I had to pull them away from it for a short time in order to help me find the cache.
At GZ the kids made light work of it spotting the prize rather quickly. Then they were off again, back to pick some acorns.
We really wanted to stay longer and explore the park more but needed to get back to pick up geo kid 1 nearby. We will definately come back here with a picnic lunch to enjoy this wonderful space.
On our way out geo kid 2 admired a tree with gorgeous purple flowers on it sniffing them to see if they had a scent. They did, a pleasant sweet smell.
Thank you for the cache in this beautiful park ZACAATT

A great host for this cache! Has so many possible places to look for! Thank you!

Out today with Bunadoorian to pick up caches in different Local Government Areas. This was find 4 for today. I had my geoeyes on today and found this one. Cache found in good condition. I loved this little spot - and I felt I had been here before - a bit of de ja vue! TFTC and for bringing us here Team ZACAATT

Grub62 and I were hunting around for this cache in the wrong tree until finally we found the cache. Cleverly hidden. TFTC.

Found your cache today. Team ZACAATT, thanks for placing it.

Needing a walk and a new 366 day, my muggle partner and I made our way to Alnutt Park. As a dirty westerner, I said “Al nt”, whereas the sophisticated south easterner says “aawwllll not”. A beautiful tree it’s in, perfect for a geocache. Thanks!

Can’t believe we didn’t have a pen! Merry Xmas.

Quick find. Nice park.

A good quick find at night in a lovely park

Nice park. TFTC

After meeting our geocaching partner who had been waiting for about 10 minutes, we quickly found this easy cache in this beautiful little park. TFTC

TFTC

Great find- although pencil is missing

What a great tree!!! Perfect place for a cache. Thanks for taking me here

Easy find. Didn’t have anything to put in it so left as is. Thank you!

I am quite familiar with this park. I came a number of times with a friend and her young nephew, and also grabbed a FTF way back in 2005. From memory, it was close to this cache - in fact it may have even been the same object.

After some recent distractions I had today off so made a start on the detective quest. For me this was a fingerprint.

Thanks for hiding and maintaining the cache.

Postscript: After checking the final of "Go Nuts in Bentleigh" by dak's Emu Mob, it showed as being within 10 metres, so I think it's the same hiding spot. What a coincidence.

This is a cute cashe and an awesome park. Thanks

Easy, fun find

It was great to have a reason to stretch the legs and a beaut day for it. There were lots of dog walkers out and about, but no problem retrieving and logging the cache. Thanks for the hide.

A favourite spot with the geokids. Perfect hide. TFTC

#247. Apologies for not logging this cache earlier but I have been distracted by life (not in a good way). TFTC

A great day for caching but that also means the muggles and their mutts are out and about. This is why I had to sit and wait a while for the area to clear just enough to conduct a quick search and make the find. Great park for the kids. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams

Quick find. TFTC!

Catching up on a couple of long forgotten caches that l found a while ago and this was one of them that l found while out and about grabbing a few caches around the area. This one took me to a nice quiet park and l set off to the gz and thanks to good co-ord's soon had the cache in hand. Appologies for the late log and many thanks for the hide Team ZACAATT.

I was aware this park existed, but had never been before. It’s gorgeous! The gps swung around a bit, which always makes it hard, especially if there’s no hint... but in the end there was one standout, beautiful location, and that’s where I found it fairly quickly. TFTC

Caching day in Bentleigh/Brighton area with nice weather. Nice and found. Thanks Team ZACAATT for placing the cache

I had no idea this beautiful park was here. Found the cache quickly, which is good because it is heating up fast.

Geoson loved this park so we have spent a lot of time here. Great to revisit and find this cache. TFTC

I often love stupidly hot afternoons like today as they provide an opportunity to check out caches in parks that might otherwise be too muggle-heavy, as an alternative to otherwise visiting under the cover of darkness.

I should have done this cache ages ago - my closest friend lived on Rose St for several years - but always kind of kept it up my sleeve for a rainy day, or in this case, a bit of a scorcher. So when I found myself out on an emergency supermarket run for cooling treats for my overheated family, I figured I had enough time for a quick-ish detour.

The entire park was entirely muggle-free when I arrived, so I sauntered across to GZ, which was quite a shady spot to search, and from there it was just a matter of trying all the various potential spots until I found the right one.

Signed the log, thanks for the cache, Team ZACAATT.

Had to look in a few places but the nice hide was soon found.

Found during my lunch break thanks

This one was a relatively quick grab and log punctuated with a really nice area, TFTC and I'll definitely come back here to relax

Found the nicely hidden and conceived cache not long after looking, few muggles about but nothing to worry about !! TFTC #413 and visited some trackables too )

Found this cache during a detour from a maintenance run on my own caches in the area. It took a bit of poking around. As I snuck away, I heard a teenager telling her friend 'That tree over there has a hidden treasure thing in it - I found it with my dad'. TFTC!

So many dog walkers out on a Sunday morning, had to clear right out of there to sign log. Thanks, nice park

A nice quick and easy find on the way home.
What a lovely park to sit in tranquility away from the madness of the traffic.
There were lots of dog walkers and the end of the day was providing a orchestra of bird calls as they made their ways home.
Thank you for bringing me here.
TFTC

A few workmen and other muggles in the park but a reasonably quick find. TFTC

Found it

In Melbourne for grandsons 2nd bday. Grandson had a great playtime whilst his mother did last minute bday shopping. Of course I was delighted to notice there was a cache nearby. Tftc

What a lot of dog walkers!

After coming across something very unexpected, the cache was soon in hand. This is now 31 in a month. Tiny for most, but a record for me.

Thanks team zacaatt.

Lovely park. Nice stroll in a sunnyish day. TFTC

Yep

Found it with Farles75 just before dark. What a lovely park and a nice clean cache. Thanks.

Nice easy find near dusk. If we had a dog we would have fitted in better
Lovely little park, much larger than first appears. Cache in immaculate condition, very well maintained

So many places to hide a sneaky little cache here. Luckily it didn't take too long. Thanks for the cache.

12 Jul 2018, Found @12:30 pm, Find # 1733

A planned meet up with Papi4506 brought us to this area. Nicely tucked away. Quick find.

Thanks to Tally Tiger for placing this cache

A quick and easy find while we were caching in the area and a lovely old tree. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Took a while but we found it

A nice cache in a lovely park. Tftc

Out and about with Echidn44 for a day of caching. After a couple of multi's we needed a couple of quicke's and this was one. What a beautiful interesting tree. Thanks for bringing us here ZACAATT

Out with xambo4u, we were glad to do a traditional cache after a morning of puzzles and multis. Loved some of the trees in this park. Well hidden cache, thanks ZACAATT

Find #3477. Found @ 14:00 with The Good Lady Wife (j-bean stayed in the car).

We were on the way home from a shopping outing and I wanted to divert to grab a cache or two. I convinced TGLW with the promise of steps.

We made our way to GZ past the plethora of geo-woofers (and muggle owners) inhabiting the park, only to find a muggle family nearby. They were occupied with kid wrangling so didn't pay us any attention.

I made the find pretty quickly and we signed, replaced and moved on to circumnavigating the paths on the way back to the car.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache Team ZACAATT.

Thanks

I needed a cache or two to keep my streak going, fill a calendar slot and work towards a particular challenge. I didn't have a lot of time today so I went for something local. Compared to some of the other hides by this CO this was a walk in the park both literally and figuratively.
The only problem was timing the retrieval and replacement to coincide with a lack of dogs and their humans in the area. I didn't succeed too well with the retrieval as a little french poodle began yapping as soon as he entered the park from the other side and followed me all the way to the bench which I thought was the best place to sign the log and ready the cache for replacement rather than standing around at GZ and have it's human wonder what I was doing.
After the owner called him back I waited a couple of minutes to make sure no one else was coming and then replaced the cache in the very picturesque hide. Thanks for showing me another part of this park.

This is a lovely manicured park, and on this cool damp morning was also quiet. Wandering along the path I soon found myself at GZ and soon after discovered the hide. I have visited this park a few times before and was pleased to have a reason to return and explore this section too.

Thanks to Tally Tiger for placing this cache.

Find #4324

I’m getting to the stage now where (as I guess I have been caching for long enough) that new caches often trigger a reminder of previously finding a now-archived one nearby. That was not the case here and I’m surprised that this ample park area hasn’t hosted a cache in the time that I have been caching. Well good to see one turn up here anyway and I stopped on my way home from work today to take a look. Even after dark there were quite a few people out and plenty of dogs off leash (and their logs) to avoid along the way). Once at GZ I was able to flick on the torch and after a short search I had the ache in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Tally Tiger. Great to have a new cache out in the area.

Working out in the garden preparing three new garden beds and then out to get a load of very good looking soil in the old ute.
I was going to spend Sunday shoveling soil but that all changed with a call from my very good caching mates the suscoe cachers.
Would I like to join with them on another trip to Melbourne to grab a few more caches as we have found most in and around Geelong.
Well how could you refuse an offer like that so here we are at this cache early on a Sunday morning.
Nice hide and we informed a muggle who wanted to know what we were doing all about what we do.
Thanks Team ZACAATT for placing.

Suscoe decided that we should have a big Sunday drive today and so we prepared our tour of the local caches and got our good mate Bushfire along for the adventure with us.
We headed off bright and early, a cloudy start to the day but then approaching Melbourne the sun came out and for most of the day it continued to shine brightly on us. We got back home around 5:00 pm with a good collection of finds to record.

Thanks to Team ZACAATT for placing this cache, we had a nice chat with a local about our past time here as well as finding this cache.

A lovely night for a walk in the park - if you're Nuts about caching.
Thanks Team ZACAATT

Nuts about caching? Who? Me? surely not! lol
A quick find on the way back from dropping our son home to Bentleigh.
Absolutely deserted at 12:30 am.
Thanks Tally Tiger. A great hide.

Found on 5 May 2018 at 11:11 am.
Today I had a couple of spare hours to fill so I after I had finished a multi I had been working on I was only a couple of kilometres from this new one so I stopped by.
I arrived at this park and skirted around the outside to avoid all the dog muggles and as I approached GZ I realised this was the exact same GZ that a multi by Sharnedog finished at so after a bit of a poke around I had the nicely hidden cache in hand.
Thanks Team ZACAATT for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

**Find # 5891**
**May 4, 2018 2:46 PM**
Nice location, and I think I've found a couple of previous caches here over the years including an old multi by Pprass which was one of my favourites.

**Thanks for the fun Team ZACAATT**

Quick, fun, well hidden cache.
So exciting to see a new cache appear near my work.
TFTC

*2/5/18, Found @ 6:47 pm, Find # 7826.*

On my occasional trip to Swinburne on a Wednesday evening, I stopped here and there to find a few caches along the way.
Many years ago I found another cache in this area, so now l have returned for another, it wasn't long before I checked out the right spot and the cache was found, log signed and cache replaced.

**Thanks to Tally Tiger for placing this cache.**

Published

We think we are FTF. But there is a log entry here that is before the publish date. We are happy to share! And it's my birthday so happy cache day to me. Our girls spent many hours in this park growing up and I have thought it would be a perfect spot for a cache.

Thank you Team ZACAATT for this cache.

Find #570 2nd?3rd TF
Lovely location. Even at 2pm plenty of muggles and dogs around. I have fond memories of this park to and overdue for a cache. Thanks ZACAATT for the placement and memories - great spot to have fun with finding and cover available as well.
