###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 Budgietas 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 you

Find #2 for the day it was decided a good brisk walk was needed and to breathe the best air in the Southern Hemisphere... arguably! This was the choice of Geocaching activity so this trail was it.
I haven't really made any inroads on this trail but as the months grow gradually warmer i will be in this part of the hills more frequently as i love forest walks and calorie smashes Big Grin

This one was found and the log was signed at 11:09 on Wednesday 18 August 2021.
The cache and contents are in good order Cool

Today we set out to make the short walk from Fern Tree to Silver Falls, picking up all the caches along the way. In the end we managed to track down two of the three caches along the way (with one DNF, unfortunately), and ended up stopping for a quick park-and-grab on the way home.

This was the first cache of the day. Arriving at the GZ, we had a pretty good idea where it might be hiding, and were happy to see our hunch was spot on. Our only trouble was avoiding the constant stream of muggles using the path! There were a couple of times we thought we were in the clear, only for a new bunch to come walking or riding past...

Log's in good condition, and all tucked back safely in its hidey-hole.

TFTC!

Today was a clean up day, putting smilie faces on some caches that we just never seem to get to. Being such a beautiful day we were enjoying our walk. We did a circuit around the area, amazing that we haven't been here before. A quick find and all was in good order.
