###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 d.e.t.a 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.

Inside a meter, nothing to find down low .
Seems I'll need a full set of garden tools to uncover this one....

With so much cover washed here from the heavy rains it could have been anywhere. I looked in a few places near larger features without luck then abandoned the search.
I did what I thought was a pretty good search but no luck for me here today. Looking at the photos in the cache gallery it looks like the area is a bit more overgrown now than it used to be. Thanks for the hunt.
fond it! The location is quite accurate but I did spend some while searching.

Seemed like it was out of place. Placed it back where I thought it should go. TYFC!
Really thought this was gonna be a DNF as I almost got scared off by 2 scary looking spiders but I prevailed (WARNING - photo is of spider, don't look if you don't want to see it)
Been a few months since this was found! Still there and in ok condition, needs a new log. Cheers!
Find #: 2,351
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Pleasant autumn morning
Cache condition: Completely full
I decided to go for a jog 'n cache around the area, and this was my third stop. I missed the container on my first pass at GZ and looked elsewhere before returning to the right spot - CIH! I found somewhere to write my name on the log, given it is full. TNLNSL TFTC

Took a while to park! Log saturated and full so had to take photo. Good hide needs new logthanks
A relatively quick, late evening, find.
The log is completely full, and requires replacement.
I barely managed to scrawl my name in between some previous signings.

This one needs maintenance. The log is full and damp so I couldn't sign it. But thanks anyway
Not too hard, once the iPhone settled I spotted something that could be a cache on closer inspection it was.
Very small container. Their was a detour so it took longer to get there. Great cache.
This was my third visit to this one and the last two times saw me walking hither and thither, looking someone who had lost his internal compass. This time, I walked at to GZ and there it was! Okay, so there had been some gardening done in the area and the cache was plain to see, (but only for the caching eye). TFTC.
Another one found near train tracks. Nearly derailed us but then I remembered the description. Hint was handy and it was CIH. TFTC
Over time i think people have moved it from the intended spot. That why GPS was 11m away from it...and the fact that the container has magnets glued to it.
I have put it back to within 2m of GPS.

Today we headed back over to North Ryde and Denistone for some more short walk and "park & grab" caches. And amazingly we ended up making the exact same number of finds (17), and also the exact same number of DNF's (4), as yesterday. This was the 7th of 17 finds for the day.
After suffering a DNF at "The Derelict" we next drove the short distance around to this one. Parked the geomobile in Clanalpine Street and then walked down to GZ for a reasonably quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC d.e.t.a.
Find #2631

Yep ... this is not as obvious as I thought a 2 star difficulty rating would be. Reading other logs assisted with the occasional photo added. These weren't spoilers. TFTC.

Headed to Eastwood for my daily cache. Searched fruitlessly around trees for a short while before resorting to previous logs. A recent photo got me closer and after moving some natural camo, I had my name in the log.

OCW morty 8888. This was the first cache of the day and despite the two pairs of eyes the cache was not sighted.
Located at 8:09am. Finally! Yes! This has thwarted me for awhile. I was completely convinced I was searching for something different and was always put off by the exposed GZ. Today was different. Emboldened by the recent finds I returned to make another attempt before starting work and I had CIH within a matter of seconds. DNF expunged! Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!
It's there !!! GPS kept sending me in circles near GZ. Couldn't see it anywhere & was about to give up when a comment in the log gave me an idea. Scratched around & bingo !!!
No dice here today. Had a good fossick through the GZ detritus. I fear this may be lost like the CO’s other nearby cache. L’chaim!
Went to the PUTT PUTT GOLF ERMINGTON one of the last few weeks until it closes for good. Sad news but good memories. Quick find with markau. Thanks for the cache!
Seeing the cache was harder than expected. It also had a large guardian (the nice kind thought). Getting it out was quite easy.
After at least half an hour of searching, we were ready to give up when I spotted it out of the corner of my eye. Though getting it out proved almost as hard as finding it.
Good cache

Looked for a while, but fading light, jumpy coords, and the knowledge that it's a micro in spidery plantlife meant I didn't find it.
Out and about to complete my mission. Managed to nab a park directly across the road. Had to scout back and forth a bit and managed to find it in a spot that I had already looked TFTC
Out on Friday night fun with team CRuDSS. Found after a search by us all. Dave8153 came up trumps.
Found with Team CRuDSS on a friday night jaunt. Took the geopuppies with us. This one took us a while to locate and without my team I might have given up. As we were sitting in the gutter signing the log, a motorist stopped to check we were ok, brave P plater to challenge 4 adults and 2 dogs but its nice to know some people still look out for others. SL #2719 on streak day #1555 TFTC
Team CRuDSS is ContactPete, RIS768, Dave8153, Snoopy1976 and SPY79
Out with Team CCRuDSS tonight and this was our 3rd Tonight. TFTC

Put in a new log whilst walking towards a sustainable house in denistone. TFTC.
Did this on the way home from work and found it in the second place I looked. TFTCM
