Unfortunately I am archiving this cache. There were a few DNF’s in succession so we popped over to check the cache. We had to search high and low for our own hide to discover it wasn’t at GZ but somewhere else chucked under some rocks.
We put it back where it should have been and it has been great to see it getting found again.
Nothing worse than finding a damaged cache so I’ll archive this one and rehide another when this pandemic eases.
Thanks to all who have stopped by to find this one and for the feedback. Happy caching!

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
----------
I notice from recent log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of owner intervention
Everyone likes finding a well maintained cache with a dry logbook. Unfortunately, there are one or more comments in regard to the state of the cache log for this cache, which leads one to the contention that the cache container is no longer weatherproof.
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 to make the cache weatherproof
Please respond to this situation by **17th August** to prevent the cache from being de-listed for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating a date when you believe the situation will be resolved.
**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Spent a fair bit of time looking for it but couldn’t find it. Will have to come back another time.
Found on our walk. Very cleverly hidden. The log book is quite soggy and needs a new cover. TFTC.
This one was harder than I expected. It was full of ants and needs a watertight container. Tftc.
Spent 20 mins looking for it. Even with all the clues from other people we had trouble.
Didn’t find, might of got moved since the last three people hadn’t found it. I’ll be back
I had a few spare hours this morning to search for some more caches around South Morang.
Here I spent ten minutes search high and low, while avoid the attention of the passing walkers and cyclists, but was unable to locate the container.
I will return another day to search again.

Super hard, another geocacher (with 14 years experience) joined the search but we both left without finding it
This was super fun to find! There was alot of trash around but the minute I saw it I knew!!
After a brief search of the area with my GPS being a bit all over the place I found this well disguised cache. I really like how these new railway stations have been made into multifunctional areas and are now used for lots of different types of activities like geocaching. TFTC.
After coming here briefly and obviously missing what I should have seen, armed with hints and help from others I returned today and found the cache. Looks like I missed seeing one of my caching friends Riddell here today. You never know the people you will meet while caching and always glad to come across old and new friends. TFTC.
Walked past it first round, but Mrs Riddell was soon into it. Sneaky hide, good find.
Love those ah ha moments.

With a little help from a previous finder I was able to turn a frown into a smile. I had another great ride up to here and beyond, so Thank you pocketrocket&friends for your great hide in a wonderful spot.

Catching up on some long forgotten logs! Found this one with omegaman1971 a while ago and totally forgot all about logging them... great to come out and grab a few caches in this area that l have visited over the previous few years grabbing a few smilies as we cache around the burbs, thanks pocketrocket&friends for the hide.

Out and about with Happy Pants back in area we haven't cached for a while.
Just like old times hanging with my caching buddy, heaps of laughter and fun times.
Nice work with the container.
Cheers for the cache

Out with xambo4u, we returned to Mill Park to do a few more caches in this area. Despite the forecast of 33 degrees followed by heavy rain and hail, we had a very successful day.
We parked, then found access to GZ. After reading the hint, it was a quick find of a sneaky hide.
Thanks pocketrocket&friends

Out and about with echidna44 clearing out some more in the North in 33 degrees heat. Parked in the street and made the quick walk through the entrance way. Great way that they are using the space here but thought the train travellers may need more here. Worried about which option we are going to be led to but glad it was not on the equipment. Went for our first obvious spot but soon realized it needed a bit more. Checked the hint and then it was a quick find. Thanks for the cache pocketrocket&friends
After claiming a very high D/T challenge cache in the You Yangs yesterday, only a two km walk but the walk there and back was the easy part, but the climb ,thorns and huge rocks proved a huge challenge for the ageing Bushfire who had done the same walk two years ago on his own but two years means a lot when your over eighty, but I made it, so today these caches were very easy but I am still feeling the effects of yesterday.
My very special caching partners, the suscoe’s invited me to tag along for a visit to this area which I have never visited before even though I have been caching since 2005.
I could not get over the number of great old Red Gums that seem to have been reserved with their own little bit of space and the number of old fallen huge old logs that have been given their own space as well.
On my day in this area I logged as I went with FLL, which simply means that I will follow up with a decent log ASAP. I had a please explain from sbrundan as to what it meant so now you know what it means and here is my full log as I said I would place tonight or as soon as possible.
Special thanks to all the cache owners whose caches that we have found today as without you guys placing caches we would be back in the early 2000’s when if you found two or three caches you had a good day and travelled many km to get them, oh so different today.
Thanks pocketrocket & friends for placing this cache for us too find and we did not get wet.

Suscoe headed to Melbourne today in the great company of Bushfire.
We had decided to target some caches along the Plenty Road area and we enjoyed travelling around the Mernda, South Morang suburbs as well as part of Bundorra.
It was a delightful day with plenty of sunshine and a mild breeze for most of the day. It did get quite warm during the afternoon as the cool breeze seemed to disappear.
We had a terrific day and thanks goes to all the cache owners for showing us this area.
Thanks to pocketrocket&friends for this hide, great to see this wonderful new facility and a few trains headed overhead while we were here. We were impressed with the open space under the train lines, what a brilliant idea.
Took a little while to find this on but soon enough Mrs. S spotted it.

This one had us wandering back and forth for a few minutes before the clever little hide revealed itself. TFTC!

Very tricky hide was a mad dash here being locals and school holidays thanks for the chase we didn’t get wet but could have if we went too far in .
