Unfortunately there has not been a response (or regular update) from the cache owner within the period requested and, as per the original advice, this cache is now being de-listed (Archived) as abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment.

If you wish to contact a Reviewer regarding this cache, please send an email via the profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the Cache Name and GC Identification Code.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###

----------

I notice from one or more recent log entries that **this DR 2.0 cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.** Therefore, 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.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating 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.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

Cache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when there appears to be a problem with the cache.

**Based on the recent logs, perhaps it's time for the CO to make a visit to this cache please.**

We have been back a couple of times but the cache is not where we found it when we were penless. Assumed it was muggles until a recent found was logged. Couldn’t find it again today.

Gfgeebvr

High and low, no luck

wuwu...

couldn't find it.

Bring your fisherman’s rain jacket

Found it on the ground and put it back where GPS leads. Didn’t have a pen. Will come back with one and hope to find the cache in the same place.

Took a bit longer than anticipated.

With mrs one/ eyed and daughter and son-in-law found this one okay tftc from one-eyed

The 15km restrictions meant that we have a tiny tiny crossover with my in-laws the one-eyeds. This is pretty much it ! The only picnic park in the crossover range. And it has a cache. So we met up with the in laws after a couple of months not seeing them. The cache was a “must get”. Well when we reached GZ there was a muggle gentleman there with his two little daughters who were building a fairy house. So we had to fess up what we were doing, and explained Geocaching to him. With some different thinking Mrs Iamapom found the cache. We think it may have come adrift from where it was supposed to be… and perhaps needs to be reattached ???????

Found by iamapom at 18:20 on 6/10/21. Thanks to PsychoVanjie for the Traditional. This is Iamapom’s find number 2379. Greetings from Melbourne Australia.

Just catching up on my August logs. Out getting some air and clearing our some in this area. Thought I was up for a long search but quickly had it in hand. Thanks PsychoVanjie for the excellent hide.

TFTC! Second time here for the goods!

No luck for today, we’ll be back!

Couldn't find it

Found it on the second attempt:)

Found it on second time round. Even once found clue didn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Haha nice one

Good hide. Found with ondalookout and broi 84

Wow !!! Very very clever. Not in the place i thought

Second time coming to here and still could not find it

Did not find

Did not find. Looked high looked low. GPS wasn’t fantastic and I’m not sure about this cryptic hint.

Couldn’t seem it

sad

Found at 13:13
Nice and quiet here this afternoon so I was able to search in peace. The GPS had me a little distance away but after checking hiding spots there, I looked in the obvious spots a few metres away and grabbed the cache in the third place.
Thanks PsychoVanjie for the cache

Julesc21 and I looked around for this one for quite some time. Not sure that the hint really helped much. Eventually I spotted something (using a TOTT) and Julesc21 was brave enough to retrieve it. TFTC!

This one was difficult to find - so many potential hiding spots! Diana8 eventually spotted this one. This was a great one - tftc.

TFTC

No luck

No luck, so many potential spots! Walking distance from home so will try another day

Took a while to find this one. Wasn't quite where we thought it would be. But perseverance paid off. Tftc

Logged the DNF and in frustration when I was leaving flung my hand around and hit the cache . So many good hiding places here but a bit of luck is always welcome!

Nothing in sight here! My GPS wanted me to go south . It eventually relented and I was able to find the cache. Thanks Psycho.

A quiet spot for a quickly found cache. Thank you!

Accompanied with kangas11, bit searched and found your cache PsychoVanjie, thank you so much for placing it.

Accompanied with crank1 for caching day around in Ashburton and Chadstone area. We had been searched and almost gave up but gave us another try so finally found it. Good one! Thanks PsychoVanjie for bringing us here.

Very hard people

Looked for 45mins everywhere

This was our first Geochache! We really liked the hiding spot

Lots of places to hide a cache here. Took a few minutes but came up trumps. TFTC

I found this cache today on our Huntingdale Hunt. Finding my way in took a bit of a divert. Thanks from D B-A.

After a long search Phoned a friend, they told me exactly where to look. Nothing found

I had a free evening tonight and the forecast was good so I put my electric scooter in the car and headed out for some caching.

A nice hide here and despite muggles about I was able to use stealth and sign the log.

Thanks to PsychoVanjie for the placement and fun.

DNF

Took a while

GPS just refused to cooperate. Had a good look around but no luck

Found @08:36 #7442
Well after a DNF this was the next one attempted and bingo found it. A nice morning with a number of magpies singing away nearby.

Day 176 of 366 completed.
TFTC PsychoVanjie

I was in the area and didn’t have to be back home anytime soon so took the opportunity to stop by and find a cache. Luckily for me a quick find was made.

It’s finally great to be able to enjoy the outdoors without having to wear a mask due to Covid 19.

Thanks for the cache here PsychoVanjie

Finally blue smiley to . Dog needed a walk and I thought it was time to finally pick this one up after a year. Had started picking up the Wonders of the world.
Soon found the dummy /original cache. Was that where it was in the first place ?
Then found the real cache quite quickly.
Covid safe caching. Thanks Psychovanjie for the cache - year later congratulations to your first cache - Photo sculpture close by.

One found or was that two. Thanks for the cache.

Now that “no shared facilities” recreational activities are allowed, today we ventured back to the west within our 25km limit.
Spotted the old one quickly, then the sneaky one not long after.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, PsychoVanjie

Zero cases Melbourne! Well done. Out to enjoy the sunshine within our 25kms on this wonderful day.

Found the original cache and then spotted the new location soon after.

Thanks PsychoVanjie for placing the hide!

Found it but someone take cache list

People sitting at or near the site when we arrived, so bailed out.

We found the first one but ALMOST missed the 2nd one. Great hiding place!

Found the old one quickly, but couldn't get the new one.

One of the water tanks was leaking but we made a pretty quick find. TFTC

Found the old but not the new.

Found the old and new! Thanks. First one we've done for a while thanks to lock down!

Found it on 2nd time with TashWord

YAPIDKA! Out for a 5 km radius ride exploring the trails on a bike in the burbs close to mums whilst in “carers role” - have to say it’s a far cry from the mountains in my backyard at home, but having said that, Melbs does a great job with its numerous parks and green belts. In fact I must have been here in peak hour as it’s so busy! Used the hands san and noted the last visit. Impressive water collecting system. Goods located after the initial muted smile. TFTC and the incentive to follow unknown paths

Found it. Thanks.

??

Cool little collections.

The weather was looking good so plans were made to catch up with omegaman1971 and Happy Pants to do some caching , we had a great time finding caches in the area.

Thanks PsychoVanjie for the cache.

With Listmaker I wandered in to this one. A car parked where we thought he could see us, but in the end he couldn't. We made our way up to the cache and before too long we had the clever hide in hand. Many thanks.

Good hide! Alansee spotted the nicely done cache before me. Well done and thanks, PsychoVanjie!

Exciting find for our group!

Happy to find the first one! Yeah!

I used to play basketball here years ago as a kid (although I'll admit that I wasn't very good at it), so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that there was a cache here. The cache itself was a nice, easy find and cool camo and spot. All in good condition. TFTC and for reminding me of a lot of good memories.

A quick and easy find between possible Rainstorms.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

It had to expand its Search Radius!

Quick easy find. Nice to do some caching again after the lockdown a great hide I looked right over it
But lucky AngeliqueAnja found it

Thanks for the cache. PsychoVanjie
Caching with Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

On a quiet Sunday this one was a quick find. Nice hide which I looked past the first time.

Thanks for the cache PsychoVanjie.

Out and about last night with the Geodog. Needed to get out for some fresh air and a few mini adventures. Drove around the area and jumped out for a few short walks. The woofa couldn't believe that we were going for so many walks! Luck she doesn't monitor distance of time! Thanks for the fun PhychoVanjie

Quick find on quiet Sat afternoon. Tftc

Nice smell of brownies nearby

Off the Beaten Track is now being reenabled due to COVID-19 lockdown laws being lifted

Used my isolation exercise today to take a walk around the oval here and try this cache. I was a little surprised to notice it was disable but I took the gamble that the container might still be in place and I could make the find. The buildings confused me at first and I was questioning my map and looking in completely the wrong spot. Once I corrected that things made a lot more sense and I soon had the cache in hand. Fortunately no-one around as I signed my name in the logbook. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache PsychoVanjie. Very nice job on the container here.

Nice walk on a beautiful day. TFTC

Due to the high level of finds that Off the Beaten Track has been receiving over the past few days/weeks, Off the Beaten Track is being disabled and will be reenabled when COVID-19 has subsided.

Stay safe everyone.

Tricky but we we got it !!!!

The geobeagles needed walkies and their human companions needed to get some approved exercise to relieve the boredom of being at home all day. We hadn't been to this park for quite a while so as there was now a cache here we decided to come here for a stroll and the cache. We parked in the carpark and walked the short distance to GZ. Nobody in the Community Hub building being a public holiday. There were several places to hide a cache at and near GZ. After wandering up and down a few times we noticed a possible hiding spot. After a bit of a dig we uncovered the cache and signed the log at 4:00 pm. TNLN. We then returned the cache to its hiding spot. We used hand sanitiser after finding the cache to stay safe.

Thanks PsychoVanjie for the well-hidden cache and for showing us this interesting Community Hub. After finding the cache we had a lovely walk in Batesford Reserve where we loved the awesome city view and the beagles enjoyed sniffing the wonderful Community Garden.

At the GZ I initially couldn't find the cache and I was about to give up when I decided to take another look.
Sure enough, the cache was well hidden in a spot I'd superficially checked when I first arrived.
Tftc

This one was slightly tricky as the GPS was not my friend jumping around everywhere.. using the map instead I found this one whilst taking in the pleasant lemony aroma from the nearby trees after the rain. Thanks.
I hope my luck continues and I can find some groceries at the nearby shops.

When I arrived at GZ, read the hint and looked at my surroundings. I was convinced the coords were way off .. back to actually looking at the GPS and following its directions .. I picked up a faint geotrail so guessed I might be on the right track. Then hand aha moment and knew what I had to do .. but it wasn’t that easy, the cache was carefully hidden by the previous finder and was snug and safe in its hide. The log was full but I found a space to sign before I realised I could have turned it over! Thanks PsychoVanjie for placing and maintaining the cache

Doing some maintenance, saw that log was full.

Log replaced.

On the way to visit my niece, I thought this would be a quick find. Wrong!!
I searched up and down as the GPS was jumping here and there, then I stopped to read the logs and made the find. Thanks PsychoVanjie

Combed the area from top to bottom. Took ages.
Only to reassess, study the clue and previous finds more closely, and bingo, it was where I had looked (obviously not very thoroughly) in the first place.
Should have been a quickie, but got there in the end.
Best plan is to KISS
TFTC

I could not get an accurate reading from my devices so I had to trust my instincts. I read previous logs and looked at the ground to work out the most likely place. And fortunately I was right. Good spot for a cache.

Grabbed this one on the way to work. Had searched for it before (when it was first published), but no luck. With the updated clue, I was back. Eventually landed in the right 'gap', and cache was soon discovered. TFTC

A tropical day in Melbourne and the leaky tank with a pinhole fountain was in action. If you can find that you're in the zone. All good at GZ TFTC

.

Find #4659. Found @ 22:55

I needed a find for the day to (hopefully) score the 02/02/2020 palindromic souvenir, and this was a relatively close to home caches. I parked in the almost empty parking area right next to where a previous hide used to be located and made my way to the posted coordinates.

With the recent rain combined with a hole in one of the nearby water tanks meant that there was an impromptu fountain.

I searched around in the spots where I'd place a hide, but they all seemed a bit higher on the terrain scale than what is listed. Once I readjusted my thinking, I soon found the container.

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

Nice easy find on the way home. Thanks
