### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###
----------
Hi there The3Rs,
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.
You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.
Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so the cache is being temporarily disable - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)
**You do need to respond to this enquiry in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**
#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-
- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache to check, repair, replace 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 logs of praise to roll in.
- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
You need to post a note to the page (within 14 days) explaining the situation and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
Be sure to indicate **the actual date that you expect to have it fixed** so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.
- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.
Honestly, it's better for you to decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.
Thanks for your cooperation,
Bunjil

Great hide. Didn’t take too long but just enough for the cold winter night we found it. Good luck!
This was our first geocache. Thank you to the creators for this. Names entered into the Log.
Just catching up with some late logging on caches found with ilook4geo. This was one of the caches we found and the log was duly stamped with both names. Thanks go to The3Rs for placing this cache.
Went out on the caching hunt with goingplaces2 and found this cache. No problem with the find and signing duties were soon done. TFTC.
It's been a long time since we Geocached, so it was an easy find in a pleasant area.
Found it thanks to some footprints in the long grass! Was scared of snakes due to previous posts, but none in sight 
Bunjil, we have placed a new container inside the old one. New log in ziplock bag. Old log left here.
Saw this was in a bit of strife so thought I would retrieve the TB before it disappears.
cache is busted, full of filthy water and so scratching around was unpleasant. TB seems to have hone so I will write a note there as well and hope one of the more recent finders has just not logged.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###
----------
Even though the 'Needs Archive' log is not appropriate in this instance (there is no proceeding NM log), it would seem that this cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention.
Therefore I am logging a Needs Maintenance log and hopefully the owner will take the opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary before it genuinely comes to the attention of a Reviewer.
'bucrog52' advised by email of 'Needs Archive' Guidelines and protocols.

This cache needs archiving looks like CO not playing anymore. Hasn’t been active since 2014
Very easy find.
Container is broken and will need replacing, was full of water.

For those Cache Owners unaware, Catnap777 & OZREG have formed a team under Geocache Guideline:
1.17. Merge accounts.
This allows logging of old finds under the new account with Username of TeamOZCAT.
Please contact if you have any queries.
"The truth is out there, and so are many more caches"
Cheers from Karen and Reg.

Found this afternoon while out for a drive in the new truck. Kids didn't want to come but their loss as we found a geocache then up top for a great view. Interesting road to see into the army base and all its gear. TFTC.
Found it quite easily to keep my run of caches (1per day) since the start of the year going

Find #9928
After a couple of nights camped at the base of the big hill, buhfuhguh and I headed home via a small detour to NSW to retrieve a missing Phone. Quick one and another LGA for buhfuhguh
Many thanks to The3Rs for the cache. TNLN.
Big things are continuing to happen! *Are you joining the fun again in 2019?*

After a great day of hiking in the high country yesterday, it was time to pick up Ahomburg's phone after leaving it in Skullracing's car. So what else to do then pick up a couple caches throughout our meandering way home and get a couple LGA's that I am missing along the way. Thanks for the cache and the great day.
After a couple of intense days of caching around the area I wanted to take things a bit easier. I decided that I would revisit some of the DNF caches and see if I could turn that frown upside down. I also wanted to grab some of the caches that were just a bit further to drive.
As I was driving past I thought that I would grab it. It was great to see all the old army vehicles. TFTC.
