HBT Branching Out Queens Domain, Tasmania, Australia
By AINSTAR, scottymyth on 11-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4WV01

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, AINSTAR, requesting additional time.

An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

###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 AINSTAR 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

Had a thorough look around and cannot find it.

Tree came down on what I would consider the location, given the new coords.

New Coordinates put you right in a tree off the trail. Looked all around, but could not locate.

This cache has been bugging me since our first DNF many years ago. Had another attempt today and again came away empty handed.
Definitely proving to be a nemesis cache for us.
Maybe one day - thanks!

interesting clue…

DNF

Removed

I’ll write this one up as a DNF but to be fair I only had a very brief look as I was out on some scooters with the family who aren’t particularly interested in geocaching!

Coordinates changed from:
S 42° 51.551 E 147° 19.584

Coordinates changed to:
S 42° 51.545 E 147° 19.579

Distance from original: 42.7 feet or 13.0 meters.

Maintenance

Maintenance has been performed with updated coords also.

While out and about today we found a few caches on the way and this was one of them.

From our last DNF we made a quick find today. Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

As we were in the area this afternoon decided to do a maintenance run on Ainstar's and Scottymyths' caches in the area.
This cache had certainly gone, as reported. new cache in place with new log book and all ready to go once the COs complete the formalities.
GPS is pretty ordinary in the area. The following coords tended to give a better reading -
S42 51.545 E147 19.579

Owner is investigating. Doesn’t require archiving at this point.

Cache gone cut tree gone ️

##Cache Maintenance Required please.##
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance).

If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.

I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.

If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Cache gone cut tree gone ️

Gone ️

This cache in gone

Thwarted. Confounded. Bamboozled

Couldn't spot this one. This one also wounded me. I she'd blood for this fun! Lol

Out and about but failed to unearth this one. Spent some time here, but no luck today.

I’m normally not bad at this type of hide. No luck today

Dnf

Everyone has a nemesis cache and this one is mine. I first looked for this one over four years ago, when I logged my first DNF. Since then, I've had a couple of chances to have another look but still no success. Today, the GeoGSP was on a doggy playdate, so I had plenty of spare time to have a look. Still no luck, I sat up off the track (in the shade) and tried to spot it, took my time, didn't worry about muggles passing - there weren't actually many, it was mid-afternoon and had warmed up. Tried looking at all possible angles, hoping to catch a glimpse of sunlight - but no. I'm tempted to log a needs maintenance, as there is evidence of some fairly recent pruning along the track. Of course, I have no idea if any of the branches pruned had a cache attached, but maybe they did.....I'll attach a photo of some pruning at/near GZ. Till my next attempt........

The sun was in the right spot to lend a hand for this one on my walk north today, so a super quick find at gz.
The logbook is suuuper full and needs to be changed... STAT!
Wrote over the instructions. Gasp!
Thanks for the cache.

??????????

While other family members were orienteering at Cornelian Bay I set out for two caches along here. Didn't take long to spot Branching Out. tftc

Took a little while .. navigator seems to be struggling abit in this area ... we signed on the last blank spot, so needs new log in sheet

TFTC

️️️️️

Great placement... lovely walk

Found it

Found

The sun was kind enough to shine on the cache, now to get to it. TFTC

Found thank you for placing and maintaining the cache for our enjoyment. Log sheet is now full and needs to be replaced.

Hi AINSTAR, scottymyth,
TFTC, Out and about today with EeePees riding this track, me planning on finding 8 or so and EeePees finding none as he had previously found them. We decided to ride to Cornelian Bay and find the caches on the way back to the regatta grounds. I was looking for quite some time until EeePees pointed out the general area and then i found it easily.
Thanks again,
KingSmev

TFTC! Out on a bike ride around Hobart today and found this one. I thought a little tricky, then suddenly I was on it!

Took the long way to this one.

Located a geo-trail near the giant fallen tree and thought it would be the fastest way to it. Turned out there was a geo-trail starting 2m from GZ. Good bushbash, though.

TFTC!

Well hidden in plain sight! Great work.

Got myself in the right ballpark and got the navigation screen up after 5 minutes of looking. Found it quickly after that, TFTC! Find #53

TFTC
Found with c@chetracker

TFTC #1077 found with rachb

The sun was shining on this one which made it easy to see.

Nice spot, tftc!

On our tour through Tassie we made today an bicycle ride along the coast.
We can find the caches mostly easy. So we had an wonderful day.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

A nice quick find

Found it after a while lol

We previously found a few caches in the HBT series, and today found ourselves with a bit of spare time to try to track down a few more. We found three today, leaving a few more to find another day.

In all we're really enjoying this series, the waterfront scenery is great, and it's really easy going along the track.

TFTC!

This took too long cache blindness

A lovely walk to GZ this afternoon sun shining not too many muggles cycling past needed a run up to get up the hill lol, spotted quickly and logged. Thank you AINSTAR for this series

Tassie Trip Day 100 - Well it was the finish of the super maxi's in the sydney to hobart so after getting breakfast down it was on the bike taking the quick trip to the harbor to see the boats come in but arrived a little late but saw three boats cross the finish and one boat already getting configured to enter the port. It was a nice day and a great way to start the day and after seeing some boats make there way into the dock it was time to head back and collect some caches along the way back to the camp ground with a trail along the way to collect.

Arrived at the GZ and soon found the cache and left that mark for the log and returned it to the all important palce from where it came

Thanks AINSTAR, scottymyth for placing this series for us to find.

TFTC

This one took me a while to find, it was a tricky as. Once I widened my search a bit it caught my eye and it's log was signed at 09:52 on 24/12/18.

The log within is dry [^]

TFTC AINSTAR

While visiting from Ohio on the *Viking Orion,* I hopped on my folding geobike for a ride along the bike trail early in the morning. I have a slightly injured knee so I wasn't sure about getting where I needed to be for this one, but figured since I was able to bike out here I might as well try it, and succeeded. Then I searched way too long for a cache I walked right past on two occasions. Oh well, at least I found it in the end. Getting back to the bike was the hardest part!

Greetings from Finland Had a lovely bikeride to MONA

Thanks Ainstar for this cache. Can hear the waves lapping. I made a meal of this one. Severe cache blindness but persisted and won in the end

Tftc

Danke für deine Arbeit und Grüße

Found by Strongy.

One DNF avenged. Cache blindness can be really bad sometimes.

Was headed into work a little later than usual and I also wanted a find today, so decided a bit later to work now won't really matter too much more! I parked at the end of Park Street and enjoyed a solo stroll along to GZ with not too many cyclists about at this hour.
A nice quick find once at GZ, especially from the right angle (as always).
Thanks AINSTAR for the cache and this series.

Team Lord. Great day out with Geokids. TFTC!

fun day with friends geocaching and found my first one

Out on a cold morning to get a few new caches which have gone down since our last visit to Tas, TFTC

The sun came out and so us cacher. Since a lot of trees lost their leaves due to the change of seasons this one was easy to spot from the path. Quick grab. TFTC

A lovely day for a walk along the river. Junior cacher spotted it from below. TFTC!

TFTC cool bison

I noticed this little trail in my geomap as I’m visiting from Brisbane and I’m so glad I went for it. Such stunning locations and nicely hidden geocaches. TFTC!

Sometimes it's just to much green. Greets from Germany
Red_Cherry_ & Graureiher

Nice one. Quite visible from the path of you know what you’re looking for... TFTC

Did a full maintenance run on the HBT series today for geo-daughter and son-in-law. The cache was there and remains in place, maybe slightly different to original location but GPS eventually reached zero and title fits.

I looked and looked and looked - but no cache could I see.
I checked old photos and found the exact spot from a 2015 photo, but no cache.
I expanded my search. Looked up and looked down, but no cache.
Soon I was just checking the same spots because I could not think of any new spots to look. That's when I gave up.

Found but gps took me on a merry jaunt first. TFTC

Completed a maintenance run along the HBT Trail today for Scottymyth and Ainstar. Replacement cache and log now in place.

Parkermon, AirWrecka and myself searched around for this one for quite a while and didn't find anything. Could it have been muggled?

Had two attempts at this one, once on the way and then again on the way back. No luck for us here though. Maybe next time, thanks.

I have no luck in finding this size cache in natural settings - not sure if it's a sign of getting older or being impatient. Pretty sure it's there, just a case of cache blindness for me, but recording the search as I did have a good look!

Nice and shiney

Another quick find, last cache into this direction, will see whether there are a few more on the way back. TFTC

I found this geocache with Mummy and caughtatwork while we were on holiday in Hobart for the Christmas week. Thank you for this geocache which kept us entertained while we were on holidays.

A bit of a tricky geocache along here. So many micros in trees. Thanks for this geocache here today which we found on our week holiday in Hobart.

Nice and easy thanks

We had a walk along the Ross Bay and made some Caches.
This was not an easy grab... here we were searching a bit longer.
TftC

Ok

With giraffe_legs

Nice hide! TFTC

I had borrowed a bike from a friend so that I could have a look around Hobart and grab a few caches on the way.

A quick find. TFTC.

TFTC

Took us longer than it should have. TFTC

Lovely walk along the biketrack, tftc

Super small

GYC Glenorchy

Found it, Logged it, NEXT!!!

Located easily at GZ under torch light at night time on a walk with the older Miss A. tftc

all's good

Lovely day for a walk to get these few new caches since we were over here 3YEARS AGO. EASY find TFTC

TFTC! Lots of bikes today, stealth needed

Another great cache! TFTC
