Bunjil: I cannot see any information that indicates the CO has taken steps to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore the cache is being Archived to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article here.

Geocache Description:

There are not many muggles in the outer reaches of the Doncaster car park on most days. There is, however, a little walk to reach the site from the bus interchange. This is a standard small container, but not obvious to the casual eye.

Travelling the full 903 Smart Bus route in Melbourne will take a cacher in a large arc from Mordialloc through the south-eastern suburbs to Box Hill, Doncaster, Heidelberg, and then along Bell Street to Essendon and then to Sunshine and back to the bay at Altona.  The full trip from end to end by bus will take approx 4 hours. The “Caching by 903 Bus” series of caches is intended as a set which will highlight some of the key points along this route, and take in a few other interesting sights and places along the route as well.  

This cache is part of the eastern half of the route, from Heidelberg to Mordialloc. These caches were all placed while using the bus. While the intent is to use the 903 bus if possible to find the series, most of the caches may be found individually by those who may not want to put in the time needed for the full trip.


So, get on the bus, get off at the appropriate stop, pick up the cache, and get back on the next bus to come along.  The wait is usually only about 15 minutes between each bus.
