Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement or an indication as to when this might take place

It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

Hi there geodosscache,

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)

**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:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache 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.

- 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.

- 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 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.

Apparently removed

Couldn’t find

Had a look around then read the recent logs. Seems to be rather gone

Think it's gone

This cache has been removed when the council removed all the fencing. We found it previously and came back with friends to admire but it’s gone. Pity. It was a great hide.

I fell that the Geocache has been moved...

I may have been in the wrong spot looking but near children play equip with kids there. It would have looked a bit creepy to linger there.

Damn it the gps did not work well and the massive space was hard to work with. Sad to admit... DNF

I couldn’t find this cache! Saying that, there has been some machinery come through and I wondered if the cache has been damaged? When I was “on” the cache I was in the middle of this torn up dirt.

Nice hide. Fav from me. Thanx

Good hiding spot for this cash.

We found it! Clever thinking doesn’t take much but takes some observing.

I was pacing up and down this morning, unable to find this cache - I often struggle with the D1.5s and I don't know why!
Eventually something caught my attention a short distance away and on closer inspection I found the cache. That's a really cool hide, thanks geodosscache!

Love it!! Thanks for a first of its kind for us!

Clever!

A clever one this hide. Eminently findable but hidden from a muggle. Well done geodosscache.

That is one of the more hilarious finds, completely by accident. Very clever hide.

Today we decided to do a short trail, to stretch the legs and get the kids off their electronic devices. Eldest child Luke has recently had an operation to stretch his calf muscle and is now in a leg brace (AFO) after six weeks in a cast. He needs to exercise his leg and today doing this series and a few others we ended up doing about 5kms according to my phone - which will be his longest walk since the operation.He did really well.

Little Miss was happy to play at the nearby little park while we searched for the cache.

A very cheeky hide! Surprisingly busy spot here, so had to grab between muggles!

Thanks for the cache geodosscache. Nice to find something a little different.

Great hide!

Lovely walk through the area and all very quiet. Starting doing a search around the spot with a 360 degree loop. At a certain point something was to quickly attract my attention and before long I had the cache in hand. Log signed and cache returned.
TFTC geodosscache and a favourite.

Found by caughtatwork at 17:09 on 14/07/2019
This was a bit of a challenge after the wet and windy and cold day, it was now starting to get dark, but we persisted and the geocache was found and dutifully logged.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache experience here today.

After a bit of a break, back into it tonight with double figures. Bit of a walk and some drive bys. Good to be out again. Thanks for placing the cache

Out and about with Trailstevo tonight, first time we have been out is about 7 weeks due to a trapped nerve in my back. Its been a slow an frustrating road to recovery but im getting there. After a day of heavy shower, hail, and just generally cold we were lucky for the rain to hold off this evening. Some really great hides today, one in particular Magic Spell, WOW what a fantastic cache. Clocked up a few kms and blew out the cobwebs. Thanks to the CO's for the fun evening Mister Doctor, Geodosscache & Kirsten Fleur.

Have 5 hours between jobs today so it was off geocaching to fill in the time. Very cold windy day so had to keep moving to keep warm. Loved the cache. Giving it a favorite point. Stamped log thanks for the cache.

This a amazing. Took forever

Navigation was very off but found it eventually cool design!

Finally found it by ICMG... took us forever to find it... the gps keeps giving us two different location

Kids were getting upset if cannot find this one...especially one of them stepped on dog poo... bad dog owners for not cleaning up the mess.

Last one for today. I literally found it by accident when I put my hand on it and felt some unexpected movement!

Awesome idea, love it. We searched the area for a couple of minutes until I spotted something that didn't look quite right. Luckily no muggles around near this one.

Was caching with ilukaperi for a little while before we were due to meet up with a larger group for an assault on a couple of night caches. Unfortunately we later realized that we hadn't updated the date on our stamp, so all the caches for today are dated the wrong date in the log book, oops.

What a cool little spot this one is, and a very creative container that had me guessing. Luckily I had ilukaperi with me as she spotted the unusual. TFTC!

I did like this one. Great hint,great hide. TFTC!

Nice hiding spot

Found

This was the last day of the calendar that I needed to find a cache for the 2 a day challenge. Great hide. Fantastic. Favourite for me. Thanks to geodosscache for the placement and fun.

Would not of found this cache if it wasn’t for my dads eagle eyes. Thanks for the cache geodosscache

Early Friday afternoon while in the area on errands proved to be the perfect opportunity to visit the freeway reserve and the road less travelled series. Of course it was also a perfect time to come and check out Old Freeway Land. Coming in from the west, this was the first time the signs about trespassing and so on were spotted - mmm confusing! Anyway, hunted around for a good 5 minutes before a tell tale sign came into view. A favourite point for the classic "hidden in plain view approach". Well done geodosscache! Signed the log and was on my way. Nice work!
Cheers

Hi from Canberra

Quite a clever hide next to a very interesting reserve. We really liked exploring this area. Thanks

Deceptive hide that I walked straight past, thanks for your workmanship

TFTC! One of our favourites! Love the log and how we’re all kept posted

We won't see a freeway here in our time - pity. Thanks geodosscache.

Fantastic hide. Found it by accident when taking a rest.

Just amazing.

What a clever hiding place. Tftc and a fav point from me.

tftc, however it is a pick-up whilst doing the good Phd series

I found a couple of caches this morning and then picked up the "part-time" member of my team and the geobeagles. We had lunch close by and then the beagles were demanding walkies so the trail along this old freeway land looked good, particularly as there were a few caches along it. [^] This was the third of 4 caches that I found today.

It was déjà vu for me when we arrived at GZ. I had previously found [Walbrook Dve (GC2VX5D)](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC2VX5D_walbrook-dve?guid=f8726757-e7a1-4945-bb7f-c4ff414b370d) that was in a nearby tree but was muggled a few times so the CO archived it. This was a much better hide. Although we noticed the hide as we approached GZ, as it was a bit OOP, muggles wouldn't notice it as it was so well camo'd. We retrieved the cache and signed the log at 3:40 pm. TNLN. We then went for a walk along the nearby trail.

Thanks geodosscache for the cleverly constructed cache, which definitely won't be muggled anytime soon. The geobeagles enjoyed sniffing everything along the trail.

Find #10058

I decided tonight was a good night to start a regular Thursday night caching run. Weather was ok, not too cold as long as I kept moving.

One pair of Dog walkers was all that I saw in the whole time I was in this linear park. I walked about for a bit Thinking "Where would I hade a cache" Nope, that didnt help. Checked the hint and started again, bingo. Nice job on the camo, container took some time to extract. The ants were not too happy either!


Many thanks to geodosscache for the cache. TNLN.

Big things are continuing to happen! *Are you joining the fun again in 2019?*

Haha! Love it! Great hide! TFTC

Hunting down caches with favourite points for the current souvenir, so headed to this one. Nicely hidden. Once found it took a bit to get log out and broke my pen in the process, at least I could still sign my name! TFTC

We were out and about with the geodog doing a nearby series when we saw this cache pop up. We were fascinated with the information regarding the history of the green beltway. TFTC.

Been to Mitcham for the day and just on way home to do the the road less traveled series to catch up. I came to find this one. Really good one!! Fav for me. Thanks geodosscache for placing this cache

After collecting two other caches in the area I was heading back to the car to collect the geo daughter and noticed I was walking past this cache. Decided it was worth a quick look and soon found this clever little hide. The cache was a little difficult to retrieve but eventually managed without needing to get a tott from the car. Thankfully no muggles came by either.

Thanks geodosscache for the cache.
Found at 6:50 pm on 4/4/19.
Find # 1397

Now this was unexpected! TFTC

Little hard to get out but has to be one of my favorites

Cool cache, we were watched by a keen canine as we approached. Nothing to worry about, it wasn’t agitated and was behind the fence. Clever cache, Ta

Need go eyes for this find

Last time I’d checked the app there were a couple of DNFs, so I bypassed it as time was precious. Today I thought I’d give it a go anyway. For some reason the DNFs had disappeared and more finds had been registered. That gave me great hope! After a short search I noticed something not quite right. I investigated further and the cache was in my had! Luckily it was too hot for Muggles to be around either on the track or in the playground. I enjoyed the search and love the great hide! A favourite vote is added here.

I took a bit of a diversion off the path I was wandering along to look for this one. After reading a few logs it was clear I was looking for something a bit different. After my initial search turned up nothing, looking at something from a slightly different angle revealed the well hidden cache. Nicely constructed. TFTC!

Found by Mary and David at 1533. Congratulations on your COTY nomination. A long way from maccamob HQ, but we decided to do a few nominated caches around here this afternoon. We've seen this kind of hide several times over the years. Our thanks to geodosscache.

Found it very clever hide

Found it clever

I am sure that we have collected a cache right near here before but more than happy to gather another smiley. Had just finished the nearby Road Less Travelled series and so had to take the detour on the way back to our cars to collect this one. Great cache, thanks for placing it.

I do like caches which involve some effort in their placement. This is a very neat cache. Thanks geodosscache

Well What a clever Hide . Thanks geodosscache

A lovely afternoon stroll after work with Mrs Papi4506 & hergab69.
We could not pass by without looking for this tricky hide. I remember there being another cache near here once before, and that was where we began our search. I then spotted something, which, upon closer inspection, turned out to be the hide. Very clever indeed. Worthy of the nomination. A fav point from me.
Congratulations for the nomination, geodosscache

Out for a walk and some caching on this lovely sunny Melbourne Day. This was the third for the day. After arriving at GZ it wasn't long before Mrs Pooky noticed something that was not quite right and she soon had the cache in hand and the log signed. TFTC and bringing us to this diverse walking track which we had not ventured to before.

Great hide. We collected this while doing the road less traveled series. Out and about with OzHockeyChick and Papi4506

A clever hide and the end of my caching in this area today. It’s been fun exploring a small part of Melbourne. TFTC

Thanks for this cleverly hidden cache! A quick and easy find!

*Found with [Geooh Live](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohLive)*

We were here before but the container was missing. Came back today to put our names on the new log. TFTC geodosscache

After a shopping trip We went caching Nice hide. Very sneaky. Took a bit of prising to get out of the spot but signed the log never the less. TFTC

Suscoe had a delightful day out in this area.
It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze every now and again.
We enjoyed the streetscapes in this area, a mixture of older homes and some new large builds. We also liked the walking trials too.

Thanks to geodosscache for this hide.
Pleased to see the replacement, thanks for doing this.

Found this one once again and replaced container and added new log sheet. No longer needs to be listed as needs maintenance as cache is ready to be found. E mailed the CO, but no reply, they haven't been on GC website since early Oct 18 so they may no longer in the game. Thanks geodosscache for the hide, worth a fave point.

Arrived, found the hidey hole, but no cache to be found. Unfortunately I didn't have a suitable container in the car that could suffice.

Found the place - very obviously his home. Alas, the cache has gone walkabout.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

School's back so the mums are out caching! Today's aim was to visit as many nominees in the 2018 Victorian Cache of the Year awards as possible before school pick up.

Thanks to DorkasScott's local knowledge we were at this cache at no time. Alas, no cache was hiding in it's excellently constructed hiding place. We're claiming the smiley as we definitely found where it SHOULD be; the container is just MIA . . .

Found the spot ...my old childhood area it was nice to explore and tell a few stories as well

Out and about with a list of 12 local-ish caches that have been nominated for the awards and 5.5 hours in which to find them all. My partners in crime today were chief navigator & pen-rememberer: Dorkasscott, and puzzle-cracking cache-list-organiser: Hera (of Zeus, Hera & kids).

We walked to this cache as we listened to Dorkasscott tell tales of times gone by, when Wobby’s World was the most exciting place in the East. It wasn’t long before we spotted the telltale signs of a cache camo, however there was no cache at home for us to sign

Have emailed the CO and have a photo that can be provided (although Cachly wouldn’t allow me to attach it via email) to show what we found.

Congratulations!

This geocache has been nominated in the Victorian Geocache of the Year Awards for 2018 in the category of Best Traditional Geocache.

There is a geocaching event for the presentation of these awards.

Details, including voting forms can be found by at GC81CQZ

Found the gz, but no container. E-mailed CO but still waiting on a reply, may try to find a replacement container as the hide is pretty cool!

Clever!

Very clever my favourite one yet

Maintenance run saw us do a few close to our one. Thanks. So peaceful and quiet here. It is hard to imagine putting cars in this space.

TFTC - found it by accident! Ha!

Thank you geodosscache for your great cache, this one was found strictly by accident, amaali, killermilla her little sister and I were having a chat and looking around when I put my hand on something and bingo a fantastic hide, a bit of work must have gone into it.
Greytiger

Greytiger found this one while having a lean. Great cache it gets a Fave from me. TFTC.

A beautifully crafted hide.
Thanks geodosscache for the effort you put into this one.
Chiefton!!!

We found this cache today as number 1 of 45 on our 15 Year Caching Anniversary Celebration Run (First Cache Find 2/1/2004). A nice hide to start the day with. We found the cache Walbrook Drive about 10m from here in 2011. Our 8th cache find in this green belt. Thanks from D & H B-A.

Great hide well worth a favorite, TFTC

Fantastic hiding place! Brilliant!

Really an excellent spot and a great use of camo. I couldn't have thought of much better hides to earn the souvenir on offer than this one. After completing the recently installed series of caches I couldn't agree more about a great break from all the busy surrounding roads. A bit of nature in the heart of the middle suburbs!

Beautifully hidden in a location I would never have thought of visiting. TFTC

I love caches that are hidden so naturally into their surrounds. Definitely a fantastic cache to mark my 300th find! Tftc

After a short search we found this beautifully hidden, well crafted cache. A favourite point. Thanks geodosscache

I was about to go on but then touched something and was soon signing the log. Tftc well done.
