Logs

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###
----------
I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.
The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:
- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.
- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) it on the basis that it has been abandoned.
Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

no finds in 14 months after regularly getting found before that date. Needs a co check
Headed to Kingston on the Murray for the Easter weekend what a lovely spot. Lots of great geocaches to be found on our quest to reach 4000 caches this was our second find of the morning TFTC
Here with CPWanderer & hevwalker caching around the riverland area. They kindly stopped & pointed me in the right direction. Nice view, thanks for the cache.
Out for another day of sightseeing and caching with Biggles of Oz and Mrs Biggles. This cache was en route so we stopped to find it. After parking the geo4WDs at what looked like the old ferry entrance, we wandered back to GZ and made a quick easy find. This was the seventeenth cache of sixty two for our trip. TFTC, the history and bringing us to this spot. TNLN
We were touring around the area today and this one piqued our interest so we headed in here to locate the cache which we did, fortunately! I guess the old road would have suffered flooding at various times too which would have added to the usual ferry delays.

Quick and easy find.
Found this one while checking out the flooding Mighty Murray!

Nice little article in the Murray Pioneer Friday, 23/09/16 about the KOM ferry service.
i think it would be a bit of a wait to get this one
Thanks Jardry for putting this cache out for us to find

Out and about finding some caches close to home that we hadn't grabbed yet for International Geocaching Day. Quick and easy find by Mr 4. TFTC!
Tried this one last year, but from the wrong side of the river, then had to wait 12 months to do it successfully. Thanks Jardry
Found with geokids gnomeo2007 and stunkypanda2006...Having a caching holiday in Loxton and surrounds. Beautiful day to be out and about. TFTC.
Always a picturesque place...I have always wondered how many thousands of cars had lined up at that spot over the years, waiting for the ferry. Cache was in good condition. Replaced as found. TFTC!
Came down at night. Glad we stopped before the cache. Might have been wet!!!

Spending the rest of the week up at Cobdogla, so what better way to relax than going geocaching!
Picked up a few of the caches that had been on my list for a while now, great to be able to mark them off.
Got an early start this morning, and found a total of 12 caches this morning, with this being find number 1 for the morning.
I had attempted to find this cache several times, but each time I arrived at GZ either someone was there, or a houseboat was parked nearby. Great to be able to mark this one off the list!
Thank you Jardry for a great cache!

Camped at Loxton, grabbed a few caches in the morning, and had the afternoon off.
We enjoyed the scenery, and picked up a good variety of hides.
All caches were located quickly, signed and replaced as found.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Jardry, for us and others to find.

A great day's caching as I head toward Berri, it was a lovely warm sunny day with great scenery. Another good find here.

To start the school holidays thought take the CatKids to find some local caches. Beautiful weather for our family day out. TFTC much appreciated
There were no ferries working the river today! This would have been a very busy area some years ago. Glad we came down here and found this cache.
My sister & B-I-L were camping at Cobby so i decided to drive 2.5 hrs to join them for the day. B-I-L fished. Sister, Jen came with me & geodog, Mandy, geocaching around the area.
A lovely area for a riverview. My Pirate Ship Voyager had a visit. I know it's not the sea but it's still a lovely waterway. A favorite area. TFTC Jardry.

Found quickly on a day of exploring this part of the Riverland. Interesting to see that the ferry ramps have lasted pretty well for so long after the closure of the ferry. Thanks for adding the information on the cache - makes an interesting read. It is hard to imagine waiting two hours for a ferry in this day and age! TFTC Jardry
Found It!
I remember this location well - not for the ferry though. Back in primary school while on a school camp we came here and used the old ferry ramps to launch our kayaks. But before the kayaks had even been unloaded from the trailer one of the kids had somehow fell up off the side of the ramp and ended up standing in chest deep water and mud. He didn't smell too good for the rest of the day...

Walked down the wrong road first then looked at GPS and found the right road and the cache. TFTC
Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega
Now camped up at Plush's Bend for a few days it was time to head back towards Barmera to find some caches and explore the area.
Some very interesting history and some awesome scenic spots that Geocaching took us to today. [^]
Enjoyed our picnic lunch nearby at Bruno Bay before moving on. Took us too long to find this cache.
Thanks for the cache and for helping us explore this area

Caching with earthlight and the xtrailers we set of to go and do a few caches around this area today, a quick find and dropped a fresh log in there as the other one was full. TFTC
3LG and myself went to visit the x-trailers in Berri when we all headed out to locate this cache and many others in the area today.

Tftc. Took trackable PC9VVG. noticed that it hadn't been logged as left there. Will have to try log it on website soon.
I went cross country to reach this and the others? Well they just drove around
Geosense took me straight to an obvious place which turned out to be false alarm... Then a further search turned up nothing... Then Moll1989 looked at that obvious place again... It seems I need to search better -_- TFTC!
Cache #209, SLTNLN.

Day 4 of a caching long weekend to Mildura with Aussie M&M and mogni. . Having parted ways with mogni who was caching her way to Melbourne we began to cache our way home. Been'n'done it. Thanks Jardry.
This was the last day of our Sunraysia caching adventure with mogni and brisal5. Sadly it was time to travel home. We did a couple of caches with mogni before parting ways and the two M's and brisal5 then made a slow and quite indirect journey home picking up what we could along the way.
We took the long way back to this one, as we were not sure if the road from the previous cache would take us all the way. Never mind, we got there eventually. What a great spot. Loved it. Favourite awarded for bringing us here. TFTC Jardry.

A few caches as we head east towards home after a trip to Adelaide and Wynarka.
Thanks for the history lesson and thanks for the cache.
