Hi there Zapz_Tv,

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 cache - 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 you cooperation,

Went in the spot it is meant to be in. But we got nothing.

Gave up searching due to so many mosquitoes attaching up

Just lots of mozzies & no luck

Just lots of mozzies & no luck!

Searched very thoroughly.

Can't find it

Mosquitos drove us out xD Had a good look around though. It’s possible it’s missing - more possible I was standing on top of it and didn’t notice lol

fun we found it unintentionally

Great to found by accident. It was quite wet though.

We were out that way getting some sourdough baking from Ket Baker, and decided to head down this way to nibble on some lovely fruit Danishes. To work that off (fat chance!) we rambled into the light bushland in search of the cache, and soon found it. TNLN, SL, TFTC!

There was nothing in it but I liked wondering looking for it

Found on August 16, 2020

Easy find

Found, a nice meander in the reserve. Not hard to find once on it like most others we've looked for today

Cheers!

Found this today! Book is completely drenched so unable to sign

Found it YEAH!

Found it YEAH! VERY easy

Found it! Although the book was very wet and we didn’t bother writing in it. Still fun though and it was our first find!

After doing some shopping in the nearby Kingston shopping plaza geo hubby and I decided to head to this location and add a smiley to the map. After losing our bearings we soon had the cache in hand. It wasn’t hidden very well so I rehid it better. The log is also extremely wet! TFTC

Nice!!

Tricky to find, junk inside but fun to explore

We found it! Nice little walk!

Easy find but fun

Great spot, unfortunately log book was wet, might need some tlc!!

Nice trail.

TFTC

Great afternoon for a walk and lovely in the reserve today.

Tftc found with dad. Lots of mossies .. log book is a bit wet. Cheers

Very easy find !!

Found book bit wet though

Found, but everything was very wet so I couldn't log it

First find! Thank you

Thank you to the creator. Unfortunately it is all wet now.

That was fun cheers

Found a bit exposed so the search was short. BTW it has a very soggy loggy.

Nice easy one for the kids. Lucky they have good eyes

Good one

Found with the help of my adventure buddy

Thanks great spot!

Nice walk from the park and good find for the kids

Nice walk, pretty difficult to find because it was hard to calibrate the compass

The hint didn’t make much sense till I arrived at GZ. Once there this is easily spotted. Cache is in good condition. Thanks for the walk in the area.

Great find, left s gift

Yay!

Not wrong about the mozzies!

Bring mosquito repellent

This is a good 1 in the bush close to a great playground. Thank you

Fun little walk

Yay

Great first find

Look for small red block of wood

??

Nice walk, great park nearby

Was a bit of a challenge after taking the wrong path but once in the right direction a simple find. TFTC

I actually couldn’t find this till a photo on here helped me locate it. Can’t see it from the path

Found

Animal gave it away running

After a delicious dinner at the nearby Mexican restaurant (recommended) we went for the short walk to find this cache. Easy find. Saw some dog walkers who asked if I was geocaching. Wasn’t even near the hide when we met TFTC

The red door was a bit of a give away. Didn’t want to paint it black though. Little Revs loved this one.

TFTC

I remember finding some other hides in this little reserve a few years ago so was glad to see a new cache placed here. After a hilly bike ride towards gz I took the opportunity to recover while walking towards the hide. Thanks for the cache.

Lovely surroundings and cute camo’s. Thanks for bringing us here. Will be back again with the youngest son to enjoy the giant slides.

Kids played at the great playground then loved the search in the “forest” tftc

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie
I had a fun day out geocaching.
Thanks for the hide here.

This was found after the kids enjoyed the playground.
Nice walk to the cache and we found it after a short search.
Thanks for the hide.

Found with McAdies and jelly_bean14.
It was a nice day to be out geocaching and we enjoyed the cache location.
Thanks for the hide.

Tully’s 1st Find!!

Out for an early morning walk before it heats up and this has been on my radar since we arrived at our holiday house on Monday. This reserve is well hidden and I doubt many people even know it's here. I was greeted by a warbling magpie on the big gate on my way out. A quick find, log signed. TFTC

We enjoyed the walk to this cache and as the previous log has said, we decided to check out the fairy house and then look for the cache. Hubby spotted this one as we headed back to GZ. SL TFTC

Tftc! Found after being thrown off course by the fairy house

Trickier than I thought.

Thanks

Easy!

Found it after a quick walk

Thank you! Discovered a lovely walking area & playground!

Found by the kids on a sunny spring day - the new park upgrade nearby is super popular with local families and fantastic spot to stop in if you are with younger kids

Taylor twins found it! Lots of mosquitoes.

It was a hard one to find but eventually found it. Mosquitoes everywhere though!

I have been in this park a few times now over the years and enjoyed the bushland. A little cross section of trails meandering about. Hardly ever anyone here. Today they were on the new playground. An impressive sight.

The cache was found after searching on the wrong side. Thanks for placing this.

Tonight or should I say this morning, I found myself in Ocean Grove when work started to die off so I thought I would grab my cache for the day while I was in the area. Today marks day 200 of a cache a day streak. Only 165 more to make it a whole year
IT was quite different walking the trails around here at near 3am. The animals that you here scurrying around make you jump a little at times.
I worked my way around until I found a track that got me to GZ and when I had gone a little to far I spotted some colour as I turned around and bingo there was my prize.
Thank you Zapz_Tv for the hide that brings up my 200 day streak

Easy

Found.
Thanks for the cache.

Found it! Nice walk as well

Lots of mozzies around!!

Thanks for the cache on a wonderful Saturday with the family

A really gorgeous park with an awesome playground! Great place to go on an AFL Grand Final Arvo TFTC.

Really tough as GPS took us all over the park before a perseverant little geocacher found it!

Nice walk in the bush. Not sure what the fairy house us near by but it’s lovely with kerydn21.

A peaceful walk along the bush track a wrong turn but quickly back to the correct track and before you knew it the cache was found, signed and returned to its hiding spot. TFTC SL

Nice new playground nearby

Found in dark

Funny find just at sunset and getting dark so got out the torch looking and Found it.
Logged “found in dark”. (Eaten by mozzies)
Mozzies! Bye! Haha

A good stroll to this one on wet tracks. Not a soul seen not surprisingly.
Tftc

Awesome find! We will be back to put a treasure in!!!

When GC HQ published details of the "Museum Mystery" jewel heist, we made a pact to accept the challenge and join the hunt to recover the stolen jewels.
Having consulted the detective and filtered the relevant clues, this is one of the three recommended hiding spots where we could find a topaz.
Yes, there was a gem waiting for us.

Thanks to 'Zapz_Tv' for contributing to the fun.
