The situation here has been reviewed again.Sufficient time has elapsed since the issues were highlighted, and nothing has been done to restore it. Circumstances that prevent timely maintenance can arise, and ample opportunity for the Cache Owner to get in touch to request a time extension has been provided.No request has been received from the Cache Owner, bubblensqueak, for further time to restore the cache.** It appears to have been abandoned by the Owner and, therefore, will be Archived.****Caches lost in this manner will not be Unarchived.**This area is now available for other interested players to utilise for cache placement if viable locations can be found.

### 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.It certainly needs to be 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, or the posted coordinates.* 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 that 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 bubblensqueak and to take it off the playing board to prevent further inconvenience to our Geocaching Community.[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 taken by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will conclude 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 and 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 youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer

No luck here for me either. Thanks.

Great walks, here and the escarpment. DNF here.

Looked for an hour but I Could not find it

We decided to stop here for a lunch break and a find a cache. The lunch was great at this beautiful place, but we could not find the cache.Thanks for bringing us here!

Completed the walk Loved the surprise art work and viewLeft a star to shine Tftc

Had a long search before the walk then another shorter one after but no luck. Thought we checked every nook within the rocks but just couldn't see it. Just got some more spinifex splinters for our trouble. Great walk but very hot on way up until we hit the palm shade. Awesome views & rock art & colourful rocks.

Quick find tftc

Phew, finally the muggles parked on either side moved on, and the cache was quickly found. Great spot, TFTC!

Wow... this is an oasis. Would love to have done the walk but we've booked a camp site closer to Katherine and need to get there at a reasonable hour.
Climbed over the rocks then spotted the cache from the car at just the right angle. Tftc

Too good for me!

After spending a few days in Kununurra we hit the road again with iluvtrekking as we headed to Darwin with one overnight stop enroute. We were stunned by the amazing vistas we saw along the way - truly breathtaking. Lovely picnic area with only a few muggles about. This was a difficult find and it is entirely due to Mr iluvttrekking refusing to give in that we were able to log our find. Thanks bubblensqueak

Traveling from Perth to Darwin and beyond with richlink enjoying the spectacular scenery and interesting locations on offer. And what an amazing place this is. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to do the full walk a short walk had to suffice. Thanks for showing us this stunning place. bubblensqueak, the cache was in place and in good order.
NB: deteriorated containers and logbooks are replaced where possible.

On my way to Perth via Broome with a few detours for LGAs. TFTC.
Nice quick grab before my morning walk. An excellent walk.

We looked high and we looked low but no luck for us here today.

Thanks anyway.

Had no luck at this one.

A couple of muggles cars in the car park but they were doing the walk so we were able to crawl over the rocks and find the cache. All in good condition. Signed the log, returned to original location and then we did the walk. What a beautiful escarpment and some interesting rock art toward the end of the top of the ridge. A magnificent place. TFTC

Rocks.....I thought how hard can this be. Unfortunately a DNF for me today. Thanks for bringing us here. Will have to visit again when passing this way one day.

What a lovely walk this is. We seemed to see more artwork the more we looked all along the escarpment. The cache was a bonus we found as we returned to our car. TFTC

Quick find after a lovely walk around the valley.
Left: trackable

Nice and easy find - no trackable within the cache unfortunately. The cache is registering a travel bug inside at the moment.

Starting to head back east towards Victoria River and eventually home after spending 5 fantastic weeks exploring this part of our magnificent country.
Only a couple of Britz vans in here but there was toilet paper everywhere among 5he Rocks what is wrong with some people.
Searched in a few places found the cache and can report that all is good at GZ.
Thanks bubblensqueak TFTC.

My husband and I started caching in 2006. Placing quiet a few caches over the years. Unfortunately Garry's life was cut short in an accident Dec 2016. As we moved around a little with his work our caches are well spread out and I currently don't have the time to get to all of them to replace logbooks. I am asking if you are planning on visiting any of our caches if you wouldn't mind taking along a spare notebook and replace if necessary. Already I have had to archive a few but would love to keep the remaining ones going for years to come. I would be most grateful to anyone for helping out.

We found this cache on the way from Victoria River Roadhouse to Kununurra.

Many thanks!

Found this cache during a sabbatical but forgot to log this cache.

#157, 15:19, Found it with Cachebox!

It took us a while to locate this well hidden cache, and then the challenge continued as we attempted retrieval. Luckily this wasn’t too hard once we were in the correct spot, where you couldn’t even see the cache from!
This is a amazing area, with stunning colours along the escarpments. We are lucky to be here when most of the country retains a lot of green and the contrasts are fantastic.
TFTC TNLN

Had to pluck out this cache with my fingertips. Thanks for bringing cachers to this beautiful spot - I've left a signature item!

Amazing place for a break. Giid find and after the log, I continued with lots of photos,
TFTC

An easy find with incredible views. Perfect spot to stop during our day of driving to WA. TFTC

Found it. What a beautiful piece of country. Thanks for this gem. TFTC

As what I read I was expecting worst or maybe I'm just lucky because I found it very quick
Thanks to the owner for the cache. The lunch was perfect and I will come back for the walk.

Found it!!! Awesome area

Found it! This one we had to do. Our friends Team Renica has also placed a cache in the Netherlands with the same name.

We are continuing to travel across northern Australia from one side to the other after attending the Red Centre Experience. We were camped at Timber Creek last night and are heading eastwards. This area was a very convenient place to stop and have our morning cuppa. While Pa organised that, I managed to add my name to the log. TFTC Stamped log. TNLN

After having a very pleasant day's caching in Katherine it was time to head west and pick up some caches between here and Timber Creek.

We pulled up here and couldn't believe our luck as there was only one caravan here and he was parked quite a way off so we started to search in case anyone else turned up. Unfortunately this one took a lot longer than it should have and we went round and round, up and down, under and over and were still empty handed. Another two vans had pulled in by now but they still weren't a concern at gz. We were about to call it a dnf and thought one more go and this time we must have been looking at a slightly different angle and spotted the hide and very happily added our name to the log before returning the container.
On our way out we counted another four caravans going in so it looks like we got in there just before peak period.

Thanks bubblensqueak for the cache.

Quick find in this beautiful NP.
Wanted to stay the night here, but seems that it's not allowed anymore.

Greetings from Belgium

A really spectacular fabulous little gem - the walk up to the base of escarpment has everything and the rock pairings are marvellous. Take the time to head up then grab the cache! TFTC Quick find.

Good easy find- had the car park to ourselves TFTC

With bikesu. She loves hiking. Tftc

Did this walk in 2014 in June. Decided to do it again today in the afternoon. Phhhh .... Beautiful but hot. Going now back to Victoria Roadhouse for our overnight stay. Tftc

Another awesome part of the ranges here. So many wonderful walks and beautiful areas to explore. We bypassed this spot last year, as we were towing a van. Back this year, and still towing, decided to drive in. So glad we did. Plenty of room to get in and out and a spot that would have been a pity to miss. TFTC and for bringing us here.

More than 3 weeks of holidays in this amazing country, from Darwin to Broome throug the Gibb River Road and beautiful spots on our way back to Darwin (Bungle Bungle, Lake Argyle, ...)
TFTC greetings from France
Une piste à droite et je découvre un coin bien tranquille pour une cache. Superbe. +1PF

I drove up here in the evening and the sun shining off the long escarpment was absolutely spectacular. Then next morning I returned very early to do the walk. I was able to do it all in shade, which was cooler. The view through the silhouetted trees as dawn appeared on the far escarpment was a beautiful scene.
The cache I did look for for awhile and was relieved when I found it, as I wanted to give this a favourite for bringing me here. TFTC bubblensqueak.

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! Our journey started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island, before heading to Melbourne via Goolwa, Strathalbyn, Coorong, Mount Gambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell, Cape Otway and Lorne, cramming in as much as possible on route. The second leg of our journey was a fabulous 9 days in Tasmania. Having then returned to Melbourne we set off on the third leg of our journey, which was to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. We then spent a few days in Sydney with geocaching friends efore flying on to the Gold Coast for the fourth leg of our travels, that included visits to Lamington National Park, Noosa and an overnight trip out to Fraser Island. We then flew from Brisbane to Cairns, where we spent a couple of nights before heading out to the birding hotspots of Yungaburra and Daintree. Following on from a visit to Cape Tribulation we turned to Port Douglas. After a day out on the Great Barrier Reef we returned to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs and the fifth leg of our travels, which was a wonderful week driving the circuit to and from Ayers Rock in our 4x4 camper. On returning to Alice Springs we then flew on to Darwin, where we picked up another 4x4 camper. We are currently making our way towards Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!

We found this one after a brief rummage among the rocks, and then we went on the very enjoyable Joe's Creek walk at sunrise. Thanks so much for the cache.

Awesome area. TFTC.

Tftc!

Started the day with a walk and a cache TFTC the shredder and Skyryser

Nice and easy with Skyryser. TFTC The-Shredder

The big move from Townsville to Mandurah WA. 5000km and lots of caches!:) After the geocaching event in Katherine, the next driving stint to Kununurra has begun!
Using the opportunity to collect some caches along the highway in order to get out of the car and stretch the legs.
Found quickly while making a stop on the way. Thanks for placing caches along this route giving us a chance to escape the car for a while!

tftc sl tnln

Found it was soo hot toooo hot to do the walk! But we struggled through the flys and made a quick find here ! I swapped pathtags and we signed the log.

Thansks for the cache will be back to do the walk when it's cools down a little

Great walk. TFTC. Found on our great Aussie Road Trip heading West

Thanks for the cache. I also found a bag of feathers. What is that about?

Wow!!!! What beautiful scenery. We couldn't stop taking
photos after we had found the cache. Bubblensqueak, you
have shown us something that so many other people would
never see..... Thankyou.
Cache good. Left our Path Tag for the next finder...

Little Squirell

Just adding a favourite point... Thanks

Found before we started the walk. Very beautiful scenery but pretty exhausting at 37°C without any shade.

Driving to Katherine, ducked in here for a quick look, jumped in the car to leave, quick look at the gps-hold it a cache 2 metres away. TFTC

Once again Mrs Trekker spotted it. Did the walk, what an amazing area. TNLN TFTC

Hot but well worth the effort. TFTC

TFTC . So many rocks to choose from!!!!! Took roadrunner travel bug and will move on.

Grey Nomading and caching our way up the middle, across to the west, down to Perth and home to Adelaide for Xmas. T.F.T.C.

On our way to Kununurrausing geocaching as a guide. Easy find. Stayed here for lunch, will do the walk next time up here, too much to see and do. Took TB and left TB.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found this cache and grabbed a TB that needs to get back into the system. Also dropped a TB. TFTC.

A great little spot to stop at. An easy find within the rocks. TFTC.

'twas a fun find.
We also met our previous friends from our last caravan park there.

Quick find on our road trip. Didn't have time to do the walk unfortunately.

Wow, what a walk. Not so easy at 40 degrees, but fascinating vegetation, great rock art and no one else around. One of my fav's in AU.

We met a fellow country family at the picknick area and let their daughter search the cache. She seemed really to enjoy herself! T4TC and greetings from Switzerland

The cache was a bit uncovered so I hid it so it couldn't be seen. Magnificent area. Looked longingly at the escarpment walk but it was the middle of a very hot day and reason prevailed.

Really beautiful setting, unfortunately we didn't have time to do the walk though. TFTC!

What a beautiful walk. And not difficult. The cache was an easy one to find.

Joes Cache was easy to find, but the valley was very nice, so we used the facilities for a short break and enjoyed the landscape.

Nice quick cache in a very remote but awesome part of Australia. TFTC. TNLN

This one we tried with a bit mixed feelings, as we saw dark clouds from the direction where the cache could be. On site we found the cache in a good shape and a planned bushfire nearby. So we did not walk, as the area was filled with smoke. TftC!

We found this cache quickly but couldn't do the walk because there was a bush fire very close and the air was full of smokke. For lunch and a walk we had to find another picnic area. Tftc!

Found, while travelling west on our second trip around Australia.
Drove down yet another dirt road, to find an interesting area.
Had a bit of a look around after finding the cache.
Thanks for the cache, bubblensqueak.

Fantastic walk Thanks for bringing us here TFTC

We found this cache during our trip from Broome to Darwin. As we did not have any internet connection in this beautiful but remote area, we could only log it after having returned to Switzerland. Many thanks to the owner, it was fun.

Every caching day must have its highlight and for me, this was it [^]
No not the cache silly !!
(Well at least that was why I wandered in here to have a look) [^]
The walk !! …. that you don't actually have to do to find the cache

With the day still young, I found the cache on a short stroll around the carpark.
I placed the budgie travel bug here where it should feel at home.

Then it was time to go for the stroll.
And as promised it [u]is[/u] a good'un !!
Take note of the suggested time to complete the walk too.
It may sound a bit too long that 90 minutes, but I reckon that is about right
Oh and wearing thongs, or a thong on this walk is just not on !! [:o]

TFTC

We have not had an internet service since leaving Kununurra so these are being logged a little late.
We are so pleased we did this minor detour into find Joes Cache. The area is quiet spectacular & worth a favourite point.
Thanks bubblensqueak
