As there has been no response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, I have no option but to archive this listing on the basis it has been abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include **GC Number and Cache Name** ) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will unarchive it. Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when a seeker reports a problem with the cache.

Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, have a read here: [Cache Maintenance Guidelines.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) The guidelines advise; **if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can.** This Help Centre article tells you how it can be done; [Temporarily Disable and Enable.]( http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 )

**Please respond to this situation within 28 days - so as to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.**

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned and archived without further notice.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

reading through the logs it appears this one may be gone and it looks like the CO may be out of the game these days - might be worth a review.

Garden beds have been remulched don't know where to start without turning everything over

Pretty sure we knew what we were looking for but no sign of it.
Greetings from Wales

Came looking for this one with Geo son and daughter. We looked everywhere but couldn't find it and decided to paf for an oppinion. The area has recently had a revamp and looks like the cache may have been muggled.

A DNF for us today.

Tks ... Tminney ... GazMag

Searched, realised where it was, got there and someone had just started their lunch right where I'm sure it is. After looking awkwardly around them, I realised I'd give this one a miss and maybe return another time.

**Smilie #4348**

Well, this cache had us looking around for a little while before the penny dropped! LOL ...
A light bulb moment & the cache was soon in hand.
We did have to extract the cache almost from 'under the nose' of a muggle seated nearby but he was more intent on fiddling with his mobile phone than paying any attention to my antics.
Replacing the cache took a little more stealth as the muggle was still there, only about a metre from where the cache needed to go. LOL ...
Made our mark & replaced as found.

**TFTC Tminney **

Another day out caching with Vegan Cachers.
One more smilie for our map.
Nice quick find.
TFTC

Nice find

OMG I love this one!!! Nice to have room for treasures. Left a ball. Took nothing TFTC!! AWESOME

Defs was on the wrong level. Took a while as we were looking at the wrong place. After looking at previous logs I realised where it was. Tftc

This one had as stumped for a while. GPS bouncing round and the clue not making a lot of sense. Eventually Mitchiemus had a bright idea and shouted "found it", in no time! Tftc

Was on the wrong level for a bit but eventually found it nice cache

Nice cache

Think this is one that local knowledge would make easier! We got there in the end, reading the description several times as we were very sure that our original location was as different to the description as you can get. Changing streets helped us find our way in, and thankfully we've found a cache container like this before so that made for a quick retrieval at least. Thanks for making us think (and walk) and Tftc!

Thanks geodog for helping us! TFTC

Thanks geodog for helping us! TFTC

Looked here a long time ago and had no luck. With another year of GCing experience under my belt I have learnt to read descriptions. In this case it certainly helps. Turns out I wasn't even close the first time.
Today I read the description and followed the advise. Arrived to find one muggle doing a scratchie at GZ. I had at least another 30 minutes on my parking meter so I'd try and wait him out. Looked at my phone and caught up on all the facebook and general news while also looking for a cache. Spied something that looked promising. Man left. Yeah. Swooped in and yep that's the cache. Signed and sealed.
Moral of the story. Always read the description. Thanks for a fun cache.

Here for some training ... had a bite to eat then went treasure hunting in the dark.

No one anywhere till we got to GZ and there was a muggle in the shape of a cleaner. We tried to out wait the muggle but with no result Purple decided on another tactic .... making out ....the cleaner left quick smart and we found the cache.

TFTC Trimney.

Found with Geojaygnome. Greetings from Ottawa. Tftc!

TFTC! Found with Brigspa while on an extended Australian holiday!

Well we were very low at the start lol finally worked it out SL left some fairy dust TFTC

Nice find, See what people meant about the levels.

Geocatchers in action

On my last day in Brisbane I was walking with my partner. Found this great little cache.

Was out and about with my partner before he heads back to Perth, decided to find this well hidden cache tftc

TFTC. Left a geotracker

Nice cache in a nice place tftc

Good 1 m8 I r8 8/8

Went looking for our first geocache today with @bexxta and found it after a little while of searching! Thanks for the clues! Be sure you're on the right level and stay on the path.

Very sneaky hide.
Thankfully no muggles, although lady in office (who I didn't see) must have thought I was strange.
Signed Log.
Left a swapable.

TFTC grabbed while walking back to hotel. Was initially on the wrong level but worked it out

Tricky. But cache is at risk from local gardening works.

Found it, working in area

Nice little quiet area to sit and eat lunch

a DNF for us today, better luck next time!

Found it! Realised, like many others, that we were on the wrong level. The owner might want to keep an eye on this cache as there is construction is pretty close by.

David is in Brisbane for a day so decided to grab some caches. Took me a while to figure out how to get into the space, but was a nice find once I got here. TFTC

Sneaky, love the container!

Really nice place and an easy find, at least when you figure how to get to the right level tftc

Very tricky! Workmen around too.

Yay! Tricky at night but used my phone light and bang, there she was. Cool hint too.

CO may want to check this one. Gardeners seem to be removing plants in the vicinity of cache

TFTC sweet hide

Would never have found it without the hints

Difficult with people around

Very easy find once the muggle moved, the bored office lady with her blinds open is going to get square eyes if she's not careful

Tough! Couldn't have done it without some activity hints!!

This was a toughy, but found! Was originally on the wrong level

Sneaky little cache... Blu3wolf and I found it
TFTC

Thanks for the find.

Difficult to find, great hiding spot though tftc

Took us a while but got there in the end clever wee hide tftc

Logging TB

Thought it would be super quiet at 7.20pm but there was a couple chatting on balcony and then a cleaner and after I found the cache I thought I'd have a quiet moment and then a girl passed by. I thought she was caching too but maybe seeing me scared her off lol. I loved this one! Very cool and don't be afraid to explore

Realised there was another level!! Ah ha found you! TFTC

Lucky I had company for this one! I would have missed it otherwise tftc

On my journey through South East Asia and Australia.
Thank you for showing this wonderful place!

TFTC

TB out

As per many other cachers before us, we started in the wrong place. After coming up empty handed we read some previous logs, aaaah! Quickly we changed our search area in a more obvious place. Suddenly a muggle appeared and asked us if we were inspecting the damp! We said, "No, we're looking for a geocache!" we tried to explain but he was only interested in the damp and quickly went back inside leaving us to hunt in peace. We walked up and down until Mr. Herbz spotted the sneaky hide. No need to leave the path. TFTC.

Tftc. Didn't see it in the dark, but picked it up in the light of day. No problem.

Started out at the wrong place, but after some scratching and rereading the description I soon found the right way to the cache. Nice one, thanks.

??

We missed it!

Took me 2 goes! Tftc!!

Having terrible luck today, 3rd DNF in a row. Couldn't even think where the clue would bring us and then got confused with previous log about being on the right level?

Was looking on the wrong level. So looked up and found the right path. Very good hiding spot TFTC

The other cache near my accomodation. Took a while to find the correct entry to GZ. Quick find and sign.

It took a little work but had a lot of fun today's finds Noel 3 Vicki 2

I was down in the big smoke with my Muggle partner and they decided that it would be a good idea for them to have a sleep-in. I thought that this was a great idea to, as it would allow for me to go out into the streets and do some geocaching whilst in town.

I'd found a few other geocaches before this one and this was about my fifth. I made quite a large error here, and that was not looking at the satellite imagery for where I was going. After doing so, it made finding this hideaway a lot easier.

Once in the right area I began the hunt. After looking from this angle than that, something caught my eye. On closer inspection I was glad to see that this could be the geocache I was looking for. After a quick fiddle I found what I was looking for.

Thanks for the geocache Tminney. Everything is in good order.

A day out in the city had us find this sneaky cache...good one. I suspect we may have been viewed earlier in the day looking for it but came back in the evening to secure and sign the log.

Caching with samcheng. Found after a bit of a search. Nice camped cache. Fav point. TFTC.

Caching with Jeffrey949baker. We had no joy with this one at first so read a few old logs and then a quick find was made. TFTC

Looked high looked low.
The cache did not show.
Moving on....

Pretty good hiding spot

Being on the correct level is the key. TFTC

Every time we find a cache, we grow in our understanding of what we could be looking for. Found our first travel bug too!

Nice hide. We had to rely on our experience to locate this one. Had to think outside the square. TFTC

Too bad...

Me and my friend we were there looking for a while but I eventually found it!! TCTF!

Took a bit of digging, gps threw me off but my awesome friend found it! Tftc

Found it on an evening stroll right around the corner of the hotel. Along with Skyryser.
TFTC The-Shredder

A quick one in front of our Hotel. TFTC Skyryser

Quick find on Xmas day. Tftc

Well last time we were here we were out muggled but we returned today and not a soul in sight ,when in the right place a quick find TFTC

Second time here, I have no idea why I didn't see this yesterday. Tftc.

Out with Selva Girls and OrionJ. Coords had me looking over here but Mrs LHE Duo located it over there. Signed the log. TFTC.

After parking our cars in a nearby carpark, OrionJ, LHE Duo and I strolled to this cache. OrionJ had already found it, so sat back to watch us search. My phone had me somewhere where there are no hiding places for a cache. I put it away and began to search in the general area I thought it would be. It wasnt long before Mrs LHE Duo had her hands on the cache. We added our names to the log and rehid the cache before heading on our way. TFTC

#pinkladies UK

Found it after getting onto the right level. Didn't quite understand the hint so took a bit of looking but then spotted something that looked a little out of place. Great hide for your first cache. TFTC

after initial false start on wrong laneway located cache

I had to take my daughter to a specialist in Wickham terrace so thought I'd fit this cache in, I wasn't sure where the entry was until we got there and it was even closer then I thought to where we were headed anyway!
Quite a nice little area but a bit hot today!
