###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of 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 any 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 pelusa 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 there, and 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

The cache and nearby wood sculpture have been vandalised, and the cache has disappeared.
I don't intend to replace it in this location.

No luck here today after a quick look.

Was going to have a go at this cache but there was roadwork happening and a set of traffic lights set up which made it really impossible to stop for a look, and, with the last few logs as DNF's I gave it a miss.

Don't think it is at location anymore.

Is it undies?

No longer at location

Not sure if it's there anymore. The carving certainly isn't and I had a brief look where the cache should have been.

Not where we were certain it would be from all the comments. Not sure if it's no longer there.

Tftc - quick and easy pit stop

Had to not only think like a somber, but had to act like one too!!!

TNLS

There’s a beautiful wood carving here now and I didn’t have a thorough look for the cache as I found it last year but it wasn’t where it was last time. Might need some maintenance

Found while we were here to celebrate our parents 60th wedding anniversary. Cheers

found it ! Guys , get a wombat on the team!

Decided to make the way up the mountain today to put another smiley on the map. I’ve passed this stump multiple times over the years. But the chainsaw upgrade does look nice. TFTC

Log not full didn't properly

31st Dec. 2020, replaced full logbook with a new logbook. pelusa

A days caching from Canberra to Nowra and back. The main aim was the Te Amo series. I stopped by this cache on my way past. Awesome. Cache easily found. Left TB. TFTC.

Hi, Stumbled onto this one by accident. I gave the cache hide away an upgrade. So all will have to return to visit this site to see that. No idea what GEOCACHING was until inspecting the contents of the container. Interesting. The hint for this one may have to change now...

On a day trip with BarberBlackSheep from Sydney to Bawley Point and back for work, on the way back I decided to break up the drive with some geocaches.

With a broken foot I am going for more easier caches, sat in the car while BBS made the retrieval and after 5 minutes of waiting for him I hopped out (literally) and made the find TFTC

I felt like a wombat

I looked in the same place a couple of times, don't know how I missed it first time TFTC

Went geocaching on the day adventure with Adventure-fox
After looking for 5 minutes and having no luck, she hopped out of the car with her broken foot and made the find instantly
TFTC!

Today Loci612 and I (Darksidedan) left Canberra at 5am and headed out to Goulburn to pick up Fitzy_1965. Not long after we were at the first cache of the day. An FTF north of Moss Vale then onto Nowra to find a swag of 40 plus caches for the day. The days highlights included seeing two Sea Eagles, millions of birds, a Wombat and A Dolphin. In Total I drove 660kms and we cached for a total of 16 hours including driving time.

This cache was one of the caches that we found. The cache was signed DSD for Darksidedan. Thanks for the cache and the adventure. We will be back this way to clean up any caches we missed this time.

A Very Big Congrats to Loci612 who got his 10,000th cache find and managed to do his 6th D/T Loop on the same cache. I was glad to be there for such a milestone.

**This Cache:**

I thought like a wombat, and the cache was very quickly located! Not even hidden by any camo, kinda just sitting there, seems to be working though!

Thanks! Shame the view here is a bit obscured by the trees now! I am sure it was better back when this was placed

---

**Today:**

Myself, DSD and Fitzy_1965 planned a long day trip down to Nowra, and Currarong to pick up some caches! I was nearing my 10,000th find, and 6th D/T loop so had a cache lined up for the milestone! We left Canberra at 5am, picked up Fitzy from Goulburn, grabbed an unexpected first to find in the Southern Highlands, and then headed down to the coast!

The day lasted 16 hours before we finally returned home after 9pm. A very successful day, I don't believe we had a single DNF! My milestone cache did take 1 hour to find though, phew!

Thanks to all the CO's and DSD + Fizty for the company

We thought we were going the wrong way and pulled over. I decided to check if any caches were around and this one was right there. Definitely have to think like a wombat.

Bit smelly

Geo ex wife used to take me here :/

Heaps of mosquitoes

Thinking like a Big Wombat, it was an easy find. TFTC

Tftc

My GPS had me all over the place but thankfully Ausmacuser's GPS was working and we found it quickly

Good hiding spot

Beautiful little spot. Terrible weather today TFTC!

The hair nose wombat kids found it. Thanks for the Geo.

Last stop for the day....well after we turn around and come back to it. Phone GPS really bouncy so just started looking in any possible places and soon enough success, thankfully I was small enough to fit in

Nice easy one. Ta

Foundon a nice drive to drop off travel bugs thanks for the cache

On way down from lookout. TFTC

My Garmin had GZ towards the road, about 9 metres away; it preferred S 34° 47.641 E 150° 34.356. The logs were full, so I added a new waterproof one. TFTC pelusa.

Found it!

The geowife and I were heading to Huskisson for the two GCNSW events being held over the weekend. It was a leisurely drive down and through the Kangaroo Valley.
Pulled up in the appropriate spot and thought yep, it will be over there. I got out of the car and the compass needle pointed across the road.... so it was there I started my search. This just didn't seem right so checked the compass and now it pointed to where I thought it was going to be. Sure enough, cache found. Thanks pelusa.

Found

Took all my bravery to stick a geostick in there to extract this one. Tftc.

fitzy_1965 and I headed out for a caching weekend with the aim of camping at Wingello so we could attend the 'Let's Wing It, Again' event Sunday morning. We decided to pick up some out of the way caches between Moss Vale and Nowra on Saturday and then up around Picton on Sunday.

fitzy had found this one a few years ago but kindly stopped to let me make the found. Made like a wombat but managed to stab my leg on a stick on the way back out. Have a lovely bruise now.

Fun find on New Year’s Day tftc

Out for an afternoon's drive down the coast with Just a a cacher today and we decided to grab a cache or to while we were in the area.

A quick stop here today for the find.

Thanks for the cache pelusa

Drove to the coast with Black Bunny, and found a few caches on the way.
Thanks, pelusa! Happy New Year!

Thanks. This is my first ever!!!

Quick find on the way down from the lookout. Cut my leg on a tree branch on way out. Tftc

I was a sneaky wombat

Quick grab by master 7 tftc

Nice one! 3rd find so far!

Looked at a couple of wombat homes, but wary of putting hands in to feel.
Luckily could see it when I got down lower on my hands and knees.

Thanks

Well, not much of a view here but plenty of Sunday driving muggles. Blinkers were optional today, apparently. Lovely for those blind corners around the place. Quick PNG even with all the tree cover. Was interestingly to see the scratch marks on a nearby tree, looking suspiciously like shoemarks. TFTC!

Quick grab on my biggest day ever

Nice little area

Watc ur step. Its steep

A nice high spot..

A good location. Fortunately, no need to go bush, as we saw stinging nettles and a small stinging tree nearby. TFTC

"make like a wombat"... and any other creatures of the area as well I suppose... After beating spiderwebs away, the cache was in hand. Thank you for the hide.

Quick find

Nice easy find. TFTC

Nice quick find before feeding the local leech.

Nice find, thank you. Found with Han.

First find, stoked.

Easy find, TSLS

Found at 3:17:00 PM

Found a few caches in the area (those that weren't micros) during my short Xmas stay at Callala Beach.

Thanks pelusa

Tftc,
We have completed our round trip to Tasmania via ACT and Victoria and have now cached in every State and mainland Territory in a calendar year. We can return to NSW and sign the Challenge Cache now.
Heading home, but wait we need to change plans and go to Jervis Bay just in case it is not a part of the ACT.
Stayed at Kangaroo Valley last night. Having used all my Favourite points in Tasmania, it's time to build some again.
Visited trackables for others to experience.

Soon located this one signed the log and replaced. Thanks to pelusa.

Find #1054
We are homeward bound on day 5 of our geocaching roadtrip, we covered 1799km, found 91 caches and have carried home half the stock of most of the souvenir shops between Newcastle, Lithgow, Bathurst, Orange, Parkes, Young, Gundagai, Yass, Canberra, Batemans Bay, Ulladulla, Fitzroy Falls and Bowral.
Quick one here - thankfully a nice pull off spot for the car. Cache was quite exposed, replaced a little deeper in wombat bedroom.... TFTC
