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

----------

Even though this cache is findable (occasionally), it is in need of owner intervention as it is not Guideline compliant. There are multiple logs in regard to the accuracy of the cache co-ordinates.

A basic tenet of geocaching is that listings must contain accurate GPS coordinates. At the moment it would seem that this requirement is not being met in regard to this cache.

The cache has been temporarily disabling 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.

Please have a read of these Help Centre articles:

- [**How to get accurate coordinates**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=128&pgid=673)

- [**Update geocache coordinates**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=61)

**Could you please update the listing with accurate coordinates?**

Please respond to this situation by **28th November** to prevent the cache from being archived for not being Guideline compliant 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.

Yet another DNF, but cool location for one.

Could not find on the 26th October 2022. Looked what felt like everywhere

Checked all the logs. It wasn't there. One log was already turned over, probably the location.

big stick

Someone had definitely taken this

Found the likely spot some way out fron coords. Clear cache hole. I would say this has gone missing.

Lovely sunny day to find a cache. Geo kid and his class pet cheetah found it. Tftc

good spot

I could not find it anywhere

Found by Rebel Acts.

Out and about with My good mate Omegaman1971 on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon. I was keen to do the Shane Warne tribute caches today and any others that were on route. with the weather being so nice a lot of places were over run with Muggles, this made it very frustrating with some of the placement, but we found them due to experience and stealth,

This is one of the caches found today. The coordinates are way off, thankfully we got lucky and went in the right direction of the cache.

Thanks xenoborg for the cache.

U

This one was located in a pretty good place but somehow I just couldn’t find it!

???

Also found cool toadstools, worms and snail shells

The location was off by about 10-15 metres, but after reading the hint, it was a quick find.

TFTC =)
Picked up a geocoin.

After not finding one nearby, I headed for this one.

Took ages for the GPS to settle, and after it insisting the lawn was the place to find the cache; I resorted to the clue.

Found it in short order and dropped off a GeoCoin/Travel Bug I found while cleaning up at home.

Found lucky 3rd time

Found it!

Mozzies at evening

Found it the second time. Well hidden. Dont bring dogs tho because there are lots of broken brunches around.

Eventually found this one. I needed the hint as I was searching all likely Candidates and after widening the search, I ended up being about 15 m from GZ.

found it

Your coordinates took me to a tree in the middle of the open space.
After reading the hint the cache was quickly located. (Nowhere near the tree)
Took the '[Khaleesi & The Doctor](https://coord.info/TB8T28H)' TB to move it along.
Thanks for the cache xenoborg.

Quick find with kids and nephews today (although coords are off). Thanks for the cache!

Yes, it is quite out of position

TFTC easy find but coordinates quite off...

TFTC… dropped off a travel bug

Didn't find

Found it just after last post

Found this one a decade ago, recently moved to the area and glad to see it is still here! TFTF

Found two containers at Hinkler Reserve. Search the logs carefully!

Nice hide on a nice day

Well hidden. GPS off by a few meters.

Great hiding place!
Our first cache!

It was very windy and my jumping gps had me travelling 30m in different directions. A friendly local and dog stopped and helped me search. Cool cache container!!

Thanks for the trip.

Yay, finally found it. The GPS is off but we found after 2 tries using the hint

Great hiding place go with hints
Found with ondalookout

Found with imgeojoe gps a little off 5-10m

Yay! 9 meters away from the location point. Found by Jett and Kai 30 of May 2021

Found it thanks in a quiet park today

Found it

Well well well. GET TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!!!

There are two problems with this geocache.

1. First there are two geocache as you can see in my pictures below. There is the cylindrical geocache and the rectangle geocache. I don't know why there are two but the paper log in the cylindrical geocache is wet so I did not sign it.

2. The second issue is that the location of the geocache is 9 metres away from Ground Zero. In fact, if you are standing on Ground Zero, you should take a bearing of 54 degrees and move 9 meters in that direction.

Happy GeoCaching.....

Good fun!

Good fun!!

My gps was playing up here for some reason. I just could not get closer than about six meters to the cache. So I just looked everywhere and eventually found this little chap, 11 meters from where it was meant to be, according to my inconsistent, annoying gps.

Wir haben Ihren Cache heute sicher gefunden.
Die Koordinaten waren für uns etwas verkehrt. Etwa 10 Meter oder so.
Vielen Dank für das Versteck und vergessen Sie nicht, Ihren Känguru-Sport zu binden.

‘Tis inside not under.
Tip:don’t try to find it in the dark.

GPS was off a little bit on this one might be trees or might have been the big rain clouds closing in on us but luckily Hubby expanded the search and quickly had the cache in hand. A squishy big slug has taken up residence on the outside of the container and as he wasn’t causing any harm we let him stay there. TFTC

Nice hide here and a great morning for a stroll... as prooven by the many muggles out and about.

Thanks to xenoborg for the placement and fun.

A quick and easy find to secure the new years souvenir!

--- --- ---

Why did the chicken cross the road?

It had to expand its Search Radius!

A quick easy find for us today

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

A quick and easy cache for the new year!

Beautiful park ... it was tricky to find.

I found this cache today on my Jells Park Plus morning to stretch the legs. An easy walk in and pick up here. A pity that we did not get to try for #2. Thanks from D B-A

I was passing the area today, and this had been on my radar for some time.
It took a while to locate it, but the previous log gave me the confidence to keep looking.
Tftc xenoborg.

We were out today to try and find a few caches to complete the Ancient Wonders. All was quiet in the park but the cache took a few minutes to find - the GPS gods were not helpful. Checked the hint and then a quick find about 5 m from where we initially started searching. But all good in the end. TFTC

Out caching with quiet1_au today, we had our sights on completing the 2 lots of Wonders caches. (GJMMelb team only as q1 had already completed it) This cache was our Lighthouse cache and the last Wonder cache we needed for the day. We looked around where the GPS took us but to no avail so then read logs which mentioned the co-ords were out a bit, so changed our GZ and soon had the cache in hand.
TFTC xenoborg - GJMMelb

Found with snooway and fatfungi, GPS coords are off. As others have said, it's probably around 5-10 metres from original GZ. The rough coords off the smartphone were S37 52.829 E145 10.415

nonetheless, TFTC CO!

Took over 20 min to find. Found with funkyrave and fatfungi. The coordinates are a bit off though. Just as we were about to give up, I suggested another area to look and we found it

Took a while as the coordinates a bit off, but made it more satifiying when found!

With the first band of rain disappearing I decided to make use of the gap in the weather and the extended exercise radius to visit this cache, hoping to complete both the Memory Lane and Wonders of the World souvenir challenges in one go! (And indeed I did - a threefer!) Parking in a nearby street, I headed in to the park but with muggles around I decided to do a loop walk around the park and try again on the return leg. Hmm - it seemed bigger on the map... I was back again and after checking out on spot that didn't seem very likely, I tried another and then again from a different direction - ah! gotcha! Took the travelbug to move along - TFTC

As we were leaving the car, OHC heard a "hissing"sound. OH NO! OH YES! A flat tyre in the making. We changed it before looking for the cache.
Thankfully the cache was found even though OHC found it some distance from where we thought it should be.
Thanks for the cache.

Now that recreational activities (sans indoor facilities) are allowed, Mrs Papi4506 and I ventured out to explore within the bounds of our new 25k limit. We made sure to sanitise before and after every find.
We arrived and parked outside a house build in progress. As we left the car to head to the cache, I heard a hissing sound. We returned to Sebastian to investigate where it was coming from.
Yep, a plaster screw. Bummer. We set about changing the tyre, while quietly cursing the careless plasterers. A delivery van even showed up, glanced over at us, obviously figured we had everything under control, and went about his business without offering any assistance.
Finally, we were able to set off to find the cache we had come for. Thankfully, using the clue, we located the cache about 10 metres east of where our GPSrs were showing.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, xenoborg

How very annoying! So many logs and every log had nothing. Some are impossible to move and see under without a crane. Maybe I am blind not to see what others see DNF

TFTC nice quick easy find. Log in good condition and dry.

Our first geocache! Lots of fun!

Fun

I've been doing very little caching during lockdown so I looked at the map and plotted my daily exercise to take me close to this one. A nice little park out of the way and some of the stormwater management aspects were reasonably well integrated with the rest of the park. Lots of bunting up directing me which way to go but it wasn't too long before I got to the area near the cache. My GPS was a little out but it didn't take too long to work out where to look. Thanks to a few helpful recent comments I made a quick find. Thinking back I'm pretty sue I wrote the 7th as the date. No real explanation for that though I am sure I found it on late Saturday afternoon! Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache xenoborg.

Found on the 12th, logging it late.
After a few tries looking for this one I finally found it in a pretty obvious spot, thanks to the advice someone had left that it's more "in" than "under".

Sanitised hands before and after opening the cache.

Placed a trackable here too!

TFTC!

It was more IN the hint object than UNDER it. A quick find. Hand sanitizer used before and after signing the log book.

Many logs here but found it

Found @12:25 #7259
Day #12 of a 365 challenge. A sunny lunch time with nice warmth felt on my back after a random search with for cache, found 11m out today. The hint helped alot. So the streak still continues...
TFTC xenoborg

Searched for twenty minutes, trying to avoid the dozens of dog walkers out and about in the evening. No such luck though! DNF

Actually we forgot to log it on the day we found it which was the 6/4/20

Navigation was a bit off but good spot

Thank you we found it!

My first ever geocache! Lovely little park and clever hiding spot. Thank you!

Out and about with Happy Pants revisiting areas we haven't been around in ages.
Found after a short search, cheers for the cache.

Out with omegaman1971 today grabbing a few caches on a Friday, just like the old days and this was one we came across in our travels. Co-ord's had us circling about for a short while before ducking in and locating the cache. Thanks xenoborg for the hide and for bringing us here.

Early this afternoon I only had to wait out a couple of passing dog-walker muggles before searching here, which was a good thing as (echoing a few past logs) the coordinates seemed a bit out, or possibly the overhead trees were messing with the tech.

However the clear hint meant there were multiple options in view from where I stood that fit the bill, and so it was that the container was found quickly in the second place checked.

Signed the log, thanks for the cache, xenoborg, and for bringing me to a cool little reserve I'd previously been unaware of.

The GPS in my mobile seemed a bit off, but the cache was soon found.
Tftc

Found on a cold dreary evening. TFTC!

Not very accurate navigation, but fun!

Out on my own today escaping jail. Nice park and enjoyed my walk. Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache

Quick find on a drizzly morning, nice to be back caching.

Beautiful little patch here, didnt know this was here - thanks for bringing me! A quick find in the sunshine, TFTC!

TFTC- beautiful Autumn day! Nice easy find!

I came to Hinkler Reserve today for my daily exercise, which I desperately need now that my usual sporting and other activities have all been cancelled. I also wanted to check out what it was like if we brought our beagles here.

I parked my car in a nearby street and then had a lovely walk along one of the many paths to GZ. The occasional muggle dog walker passed GZ but there were long periods with nobody around. I noticed that there were lots of places to hide a cache at GZ so I took a squiz at the hint but there were many spots that matched the hint too. I systematically searched a few spots until I eventually found the cache. My GPSr was saying that GZ was about 10 - 12 metres from the given co=ords but this may have been due to the trees as the co-ords didn't seem too bad from the nearby path. I retrieved the cache and signed the log at 4:50 pm. TNLN. I then returned the cache to its hiding spot and continued on my walk around the reserve. Even though the cache hadn't been found for a few weeks I still used hand sanitiser after finding the cache to stay safe.

Thanks xenoborg for the well-hidden cache and for bringing me to this beautiful bushy reserve. I didn't realise that this was an off-lead park so I will return soon with the geobeagles.

Yikes a late log - was brought up in this area when it was a single rail line to Glen Waverley and housing density meant little! Hinkley a place to ride around and I seem to remember much bigger!

Little bit harder to find the the other in this park, love it

Find number 8271 at 4:12:32 pm
Heading just down the road for a welfare check on my in-laws and looking for a cache nearby to satisfy my cache for the day.
A nice quick find but I did have to make a short walk around the west end of the park to out-wait some dog walkers that were hovering around the GZ.
**Thanks for placing this cache xenoborg**

#2244 The 2nd of 2 we found is this lovely reserve - yet another area we haven't visited before, in fact didn't even know existed although we live not all that far away. That's one of the major things we enjoy about caching - discovering new places we'd never have otherwise visited. Thanks xenoborg.

Out for a walk and a couple of caches to fill another day in the caching calendar. There was some Muggle workers on the other side of the reserve cutting down and mulching trees but they were no where near the caches. Once in the vicinity of GZ we started searching without luck and it was only after reading the hint and widening the search that Mr Pooky made the find. TFTC and bringing us to this reserve. TNLN.

Found at 16:07
With everything going on I haven't had the chance to go caching for a few weeks ago when the opportunity presented itself this afternoon I jumped at it. I picked a parking spot nearby and headed for this one first.
As others have said the coords had me out in the open but it didn't take long to try this direction and make the find using there hint.
For me the cache was at S37 52.828 E145 10.417
Thanks xenoborg for the cache

About 10m from the marked pint so took us a while but we got there!

Ps it is in a small systema plastic Container (we had no idea what a systems box was!)

A first I thought it may take a while, luckily spotted it from a distance away.

Heading home from Futsal and I decided to stop and look for a few caches here. It would have been an interesting sight seeing someone in a football kit plus shin pads wandering around. I was glad I read the logs - coordinates are definitely off here. TFTC xenoborg
