###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) within **28 Days**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing. The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

**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.

I concur with previous Logs, Mabar has not been Online since 22 Oct 19 therefore it isn't going to be maintained.

Found this one after dark - well we were passing nearby and I had 2 Aust Metric Conversion stamps to add to the collection. Took the notepad to write notes to remind me about looking for stamps with bicycle themes. Enjoyed looking at this stash.

A smooth find SL TFTC
 
25-Oct-09
As we pulled up at GZ, Mrs Tiedysmileys calls out 'I can see it' and leaps out of the car to retrieve it. Turns out to actually be a dead rosella there instead.
Left the bird and signed the cache.

Lovely quiet location in the hills to hide a cache SmileSmile . The road was a bit soft after the recent rains and a couple of wet muddy "holes" on the exit to the west would probably have stopped my 2WD a day or two earlier Sad.

Found by Mary & David at 1740. Love these back roads, and we certainly have enjoyed your caches placed there. This one was no exception. Plenty of birds saying goodnight. Thankfully we didn't literally run in to any large fauna. Our thanks to mabar once more.

This was quite an interesting hiding location for this cache, I'm sure there are many similar articles being used as furniture in homes around Australia. Also another type of cache container we haven't seen before. Had no stamps with us today so took nothing but left a postal pack
Thanks mabar for the cache
 
29-Jul-07
A quick find on my way back from Poonunda.
I didn't have any stamps to swap so I left a Kangaroo instead
Thanks mabar

Another quick drive by on a caching expedition in the Eudunda/Kapunda region. I’m all out of stamps today!

TLNLSL Cheers, Rav 4 Raiders

My last one for the day for a total of 16 in a 460km northern loop. Pulled up beside the obvious spot. Had no stamps to continue the theme, so made no swaps. Off home now. Cheers Mabar Big Grin
 
11-Jun-07
Thanks for the co-ordinates, Mabar and Matmob, accidently confused them with Robbie and had deleted them off my gpsr. Swapped a satchel for a gift bag and card. TFTC

Jet another stop in the Mabar tour of the area, and another nice drive [^]
The cache was quickly located and theme was obvious. Unfrotunately I had nothing appropriate to swap so just TNLNSL.
Especially liked the container as well. I have been looking for something exactly like this for a while. Where did you find it?
Cheers, TFTC.

Did not get the instrument out of the car. Where would it be. Only there. Great post box. Can you get some more please.
 
10-Mar-07
Nice drive up to this one. No stamps with us, so left a geopin instead - thanks mabar.
 
04-Feb-07
A great Sunday arvo drive to this one. As geokid was approaching the cache location it was being guarded by a bearded dragon! Scared the daylights out of her! Lovely things really, just a bit scary when you aren't expecting to see one at such close quarters! Why did we want to look at the stuff in this cache on a weekend?!!!!! See enough of it during the week! Anyway, took nothing, and left postage prepaid postcard. TFTC
 
31-Jan-07

What a quality little cache from mabar. I used to collect stamps and I have a similar “cache†somewhere home in a cupboard. I wonder where that box is?[?]?. Plenty of these packs – but none on me to swap today.

Another silver but how can one compete with a damn Postie [?] It just can’t be done!! WinkWink

An easy find – spotted from many metres.
Clear skies from TeamAstro.
