### MAINTENANCE REQUIRED? ###
I notice from recent log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of owner intervention as it would seem that the accuracy of the cache co-ordinates are not as it should be. 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.
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, see the guideline here: [Listings must contain accurate GPS coordinates.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#coordinates) Could you please update the listing with accurate coordinates? A how to is here: [How do I update coordinates for my geocache?](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=61)
Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; ***"if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can."*** see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance ) and here's how; [Temporarily Disable and Enable,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) also check out this Blog: [Helpful Tips To Keep In Mind As A Geocache Owner.](http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/)
Please respond to this situation by ** 11th August** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.
**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.

Actually checked it on the weekend. It is still there. It's just about 20m away from the GZ.
Kids day off school , lovely cold day. Had a good look around and checked a few other places it might have gone to but no luck. Maybe a Bunyip took it back into the bush.
Looked around under the trees using the hint by couldn't find the cache, second attempt at this one
I think this one had gone walk about. I found a label from a Golburn Valley tub but no cache. It's not in any of the logical spots.
Spent a short time searching but had no luck. Will try again when back in the area. Thanks anyway.
Needs a new log. Almost out of space and I used my only paper for another cache.
Being the nearest unfound cache to home, I decided to do this one today. Had difficulty finding the hiding spot. TFTC
Watching the local cricket and a short walk and quick find. Tftc in this beautiful location
Wow such an old cache and still going strong, no one was around today so it was really easy to search around,
Thanks [:x]
Thanks [:x]
Today Fleabag- needed a difficulty 5 cache for his final Road Trip souvenir so we headed out this way and Muttley! also tagged along as well. While we were in the area we gathered a few more caches in the couple of hours that we had available today.
No sport going on here so we had the place to ourself today. I had already made the find and signed the logbook before Fleabag- had already arrived at GZ. Quite exposed and a lot of entries in the log book. Surprised it doesn't muggled. We then headed off to the next one.
Thanks -e^ip for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

A bit of a family find with 'lalyra' and 'neamks'. Traded out the dinosaur. Thanks for the fun!
Nice easy find for the kids. Had a koala travel bug that wants to go places starting with "K" so the Karawarra plant nursery in Kalorama seemed like the perfect spot. As a bonus the Chestnut festival was on the oval so great little outing for the family.
An easy find in a well kept reserve and I took a stroll through the native gardens and nursery while I was there. Thanks for the cache.
Big day of caching for us. Taking the travel slug to move to its next cache!
Log book is a bit full, needs a new one

Our first cache. Took a solider and hermit crab and left a dinosaur and 1 cent US
Found with DD19. We had terrible reception so we had no idea which tree we were looking for. We did find a huge pile of spitfires though! Pic attached. These are apparently harmless, so just interesting not scary. Anyway eventually we went to the correct tree and it was quite obvious so we rolled our eyes at how long it had taken us and felt quite silly! Lol. Thanks for the cache! All in good order.
Great spot, big cache, well hidden! Great find for first one for the year. Signed log and left a trackable.
Awesome hiding spot. We made a run from the car as a bee flew in the window. So forgo to grab the pen. Had to walk back and get it. Kids were sad as there is no playground here. Thanks.
Was actually really worried about finding this one, especially with the GPS playing the circle game again but made a quick find and then headed over to look at the Native Plants at Kalorama Reserve nearby.
This one took me ages, as I am not so keen on pushing through swordgrass. We got there in the end, just as my son was getting fed up, and was pleased to find a nice big container.
The last of a night run last night
5 out of 5 successful
Picked up TB, will drop down by the beach

Spent a little longer looking due to a pre dawn search, searching wrong places after looking at the hint but found none the less
Took tb left nothing no pen, couldn't sign physical log

We saw this cache as we headed up the road but it looked like it would be one of the very many we had to bypass today. However, as a previous cache was in no state to leave a trackable we were happy to stop here on our way back to our daughters. Signed the log and left the trackable safe and sound.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks to -e^ip for this lovely find.
Our fifth ever.
Found with crypto29 on a glorious Saturday afternoon.
Sat and watched some kookaburras doing their thing and had a lovely time. ^_^

#1613 Second of 7 today while enjoying the Dandenongs. Took a fair while to find this as it was 20m away from where my GPSr wanted me to look. Mrs laurenda widened the search area and made the find. Thanks -e^ip
Suscoe's 7th find of 24 for this afternoon.
A delightful walk to GZ, the GPS was unsure of which one to select so we wandered through the options and finally located the cheeky chap.
Thanks to -e^ip for placing this cache.
On the way out of the reserve we spotted a couple searching for things in the ground with a little spade, perhaps they were looking for truffles or mushrooms, quite interesting to see.

Took me a while with this one. It took me in circles for a while but I soon found it!!

Thanks for the cache.
We went on to look at the Native plants garden next door.

I do not believe this cache owner is active anymore. The maintenance request for this cache lies on the coords being out by about 20m
Out and about with echidna44 today for a walk in the hills. Came up the non preferred way to tackle this one. Needed to widen the search to pick this one up. Resorted to the clue which gave us a little guidance
Thanks for the cache -e^ip

We spent far too long looking for this one, and had to widen our search by quite a few metres before making the find. Thanks -e^ip
15:29
As we had to be up early to take their mother to work this morning, the girls and I decided that we may as well start our caching early. Besides, it's my birthday, so I get to choose the day's entertainment.
There were plenty of hides near playgrounds that I'd saved for the next run with the kids, so plenty to keep the girls entertained as well, plus a couple of fun walks in bushland and rainforest. Even their first encounters with leeches in the Dandenongs didn't dampen spirits, so we ended up with over twenty smileys and countless big grins at the scenery, fun containers, cool hides and the joy of the outdoors.
The day was marching on, so it was time to start caching our way down off the mountain. With two hides in close proximity, this was a natural place to stop. The elder girl couldn't be coaxed from the car, but her sister was enthralled by the little flowers carpeting the area.
The clue wasn't going to narrow down the search options by much, but I fairly quickly found the cache, tucked away some twenty metres away from the spot the GPSr was pointing toward.

Found it but co-ords are out. Did not take anything but topped it up with a few items.
Just as well I had a lot of help today - there were 6 searchers. Our search spread out until the awaited call went up. Thanks for the cache.
Out today with Team_coxy for a fun relaxing day caching
Had to widen the search by about 15 mtrs to find this cache

Out on a cache run with Datruk on a nice winters day.
Had tried this one before with a very old GPSr that had me all over the place. Even today with an etrex 19 running on both GPS and Glonass networks still had us all over the place. Eventually found the illusive cache and signed the log.
Thanks for you effort and cache.

Having found another close by, and with a little more time before our planned morning rendezvous with the rest of the caching team tackling "T for the C" we took a walk over to this cache, and then struggled to get a decent satellite fix. Having seemingly exhausted our options of hides and about to chuck it all in, lochb finally made the find. I don't know whether it's the age of the cache, tree cover and/or bad satellite configuration but we estimated a possible 20m offset from the published coordinates - so in our experience some perseverance and methodical searching will probably be needed here. TFTC
We finally found this cache after a bit of a search. It ended up being 23m out on my Oregon. Off to do T for the C now! TFTC
Another TDC run, and another day/night out caching. A cold night, with some good caches found, and no DNF's. A few mysteries and a few multis included in the caches found. My personal thanks to all the cache owners for their hides.

Another walk and quick find. TFTC.

A quick stroll across the oval and another cache found and signed.

I'd been looking forward to meeting up with The Demolition Crew for another run through Melbourne. The night air was getting cold, so you could tell Winter was well on it's way. We were held up at one particular cache tonight, but after few attempts we were able to walk away with no DNF's. Thanks to -e^ip for the cache.

I like walking between caches particularly when you get to walk past some good looking muggles doing boot camp
Another quick find with Melbermans while out on our Easter Sumday picnic in the Dandenongs.

Find #629 logged at GZ at 12:40, after visiting rhe Council nursery adjacent looking for native plants for my little garden. T4TC -e^ip!
Took us a bit of a hunt before finding this one. Once we checked previous logs and saw other co-ords, we used those and then found the cache about 16m from where GZ is indicated by the listed co-ords

Missed the turn in for the nearby cache, and came to this one, only to find they are in the same park! Lots of hunting needed for this one, as the coordinates were out, and lots of trees have spear grass around them. Once I uploaded the corrected coords from the previous log, I got a better vicinity in which to look, and turned it up. Thanks for the cache.
