Unfortunately this one has gone. I'll put another in its place if somebody doesn't get in first ??
### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present. Otherwise :* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information.. **Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**. Alternatively:* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by Greenish and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.Thank youBalayangCommunity Reviewer -Australia
Unfortunately, we couldn’t find this one today. I don’t think that it’s here anymore. Great views though.
Nice little hide. Felt dodgy looking along someone’s property line and a muggle parked in their car…taking in views or escaping for a moment.
Log needs some maintenance

Nice little hide. Found with Ja1me3_Cee. Log was a little wet, but still able to log it. Careful with all the Wally poo. TFTC!
Hi Greenish, Wandered up to this lovely scenic view of the Derwent today in a cache run with NatalieC1234, they had already found your cache so it was up to me to make my way down. Still positioned in its right spot with a little cover. Naturally log is a little damp but very writable. Now to get up after sitting down - all good! Great spot haven't been up this road before.
What a view! Nearly drove past this one but then decided to go up. So glad we did. Tftc
This was a nice quick park 'n' grab, even so, my stealth was so intense in nearly went outta phase with the regular time-space continuum... the nice high embankment played it's part too
SL back at the GeoMobile as to not attract too much attention to me loitering below next to the fence.
SL at 12:28 on TGIF 30 July 2021.
The log within is dry. [Great views here too ]

While caching in the area we found your cache along the way.
A quick find, cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

We went for a walk on the alum cliffs path and came up here on the way back.

Great spot. Been to the bottom of this road. Never the top. Easy find and smallest I've ever seen.
Find with Lekker_ding. Quick easy find, really nice view, well worth the small detour. Thanks Greenish
Thanks for the cache greenish.
Out and about today with the GeoGSP and decided we would go down to the dog exercise area at Kingston, so we stopped here on the way.
Nice view, lots of new houses around. A quick find.

I'm writing logs in the same week as I found the caches they are for, thats a first for a long time!
i looked for this one a long time ago with no luck and had plan to return the next time i was in the area.
Well years later I'm back and this time made easy work of the find, thanks for the cache.

We’re currently out and about filling in a spare half-hour with a spot of caching.
What a lovely view from this place! Great views of the Derwent, South Arm and the Tasman Peninsula!
We never would have known about this spot if it wasn’t for the cache, so a big thank you from us!
We had a local muggle sneak up on us while we were here and were afraid for a sec that we’d given the game away, but turns out he knew exactly why were here anyway: apparently he’s run into more than a few cachers here over the years! Apparently there’s snakes around, just an FYI for future visitors in summer months...
TFTC!

Could not locate this one today. Bad case of cache blindness, perhaps. Great view though, so we won’t be disappointed to return.
Picking up a few caches as we explore this great state on a 8 mth holiday. TFTC. TNLN.
Found on a brief caching trip to the Apple Isle. A lovely view indeed from up here. Fortunately, being a week day there was nobody about to interfere with my retrieval. Thanks for bringing me here and thanks for the cache.
Beautiful weather as finally sunny day, drive way to Bruny Isand for explore around, via stop some caches before arrival ferry..
wow awesome view, good spot gz, sign in as no trouble..
Thankyou for having us here..

Spied a few muggles in their houses so initially I was trying to be sneaky by pretending the geodog was interested in something. After not finding anything on the first pass I admired the view and read the previous logs. After reading about the locals knowing where the cache is I had a proper look and soon found the cache. TFTC
A man was cutting the nearby grass. We parked and waited. I got out and took a photograph of the nice view. Then the man went inside, so I went for the cache. Unfortunately he returned before I had a chance to find it. I returned to the car and decided I wasn't getting this cache. As we drove past the man he waved and asked, "Did you find it?" He knew about the cache! Then he led me to it. LOL!

Found this cache relatively easily. However found myself being watched by multiple pairs of eyes from the nearby houses. Perhaps the weekend is not a good time to get this cache. TFTC
Grabbed old log if you would like me send it to you.
Replaced with a small piece of paper for a log

Hi Greenish, thanks for the cache. This was not my first visit, as was previously under the gaze of a local at their window, and so moved on. All quiet here this morning, so resulted in a smiley. Nice views, and more new houses popping up.
The log sheet is full. I squeezed in between a couple of 2015 signatures! A new log sheet would be nice.
THANKS.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
Today was about attending the morning event.
After the event Mr Felix and Mr Dunmowin joined the walking group across the cool mountain conditions discovering caches and snakes, whilst Mrs Felix and Mrs Dunmowin joined with Goodlook for a warm girlie day of caching, giggles, coffee shops, sailing, river views and sliding. [:o)]
All had a great fun day with new friends, just what we love about Geocaching.

Log was full here so we signed in a small spot in the middle. Sorry but the caching spares were with Mr Felix.
A beautiful view, but goodness there is a lot of poo in this section of land....all different shapes, sizes and colours...lol....okay, I know, "too much info!" but honestly, make sure you watch where you walk here.
A fun little cache, found by a cool trio of caching girls!
The cache log is getting full, sorry we didn't have a replacement with us.
TFTC Greenish!!

Woke early to meet up with the FelixIIs for the event on the mount. They were camped two van sites from us! We drove up together, dodging police and ambulance with flashing lights, fully expecting to find the mountain closed to traffic. Fortunately for us, despite the fog at the top, this was not to be. After meeting with the rest of the group at GZ, Mrs Dunmowin, Mrs FelixII and Goodlook - all interstaters, went back to the carpark, while Mr Dunmowin and Mr FelixII joined the rest for the walk across the mountain. . The boys reported snakes, stratched legs, freezing conditions, while the girls had the better end of the stick with coffee shops, foreshore walks and gentle, easy finds and a lot of laughs were encountered as they cached their way from Kingston to Sandy Bay .
As we left Kingston, we decided to check out the view here - and collect a cache as well. This one was way to easy, despite having to sit on my proverbial to retrieve the cache. Our girlie threesome had a bit of a laugh here, as I climbed back on to two feet in a very un-ladylike fashion. Thanks Greenish for the hide.

After waiting for another car to leave we searched for a few minutes without any luck, great view all the same.
Out and about caching with Ninjawolf and LRS
We were all set to leave due to a local in his yard when he asked us if we'd found it yet lol.
The log is full so could use replacing but otherwise all good. TFTC

Good location, amazing view. Log needs urgent replacement as it is very full.

Quick find, except the brilliant view was distracting! A fav point given for bringing us here, TFTC
We're on a six month stay here from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney, to tour in the caravan and also visit our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley
On four previous visits before this visit, we were muggles, so we have a whole island of caching fun ahead of us!

Located with the help of a friendly neighbour who was tending a nearby garden who had previously noticed tube. Log full. TFTC
Smiley grabbed this one after finishing work and heading to meet up with the Bear at the New Sydney Hotel for the Science in the Pub session. She had long enough to enjoy the superb outlook while she signed the log and replaced. TFTC.
little drizzle but still a nice day easy find with clues log full needs new log now!!
Found but forgot to bring a pen
Walked up hill through rain but was worth it, amazing view and also rain stopped just as I got up to the cache and found it. TFTC

Couldn't find cache. Found a 'hole' at the base of a post which looked like it would perfectly fit a cache the size of a film cannister. Hopefully I am wrong and just didn't look well enough
Whilst visiting friends in the street we all went to look. The GPS pointed to a spot and it was correct. TFTC Greenish
Got it with some help from a local muggle who had found it but left it there as they werent sure what it was
Found it! Was to dinner at a friend's house when geocaching was brought up. We had done a walk along the Alum Cliffs the other day and had wanted to do this cache but didn't get round to doing it in the end. So we decided that after so many homemade wood-fired pizzas and dessert pizzas, we needed to go on a reasonable walk to try and burn off some of it. Great hide! Was a bit hard to get up the hill afterwards - had to try many times before actually getting up
Logbook is completely soaked. TFTC!

Had a good look but no luck. The area has been whipper snipped just recently. What a fantastic view, so worth coming up here even if we didn't find it.

Found on this our second attempt. We were pleased to read that the cache was still there as this was a good excuse to once again visit this lovely spot with such great views of the river. Thanks for the cache.
