No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

I can not see a needs maintenance log on this cache,
From the [Help Centre,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=57)
>If you find a geocache that is in need of some help (e.g. container is cracked, logbook is full or wet), please post a "Needs Maintenance" log on the cache page so the cache owner and the community is notified. This log adds an attribute to the page (looks like a colored cross) to alert other geocachers of the needed repairs. Logging Needs Maintenance does not increase find count. Needs Maintenance logs are not forwarded to reviewers.
and from the [Archive help centre article](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=56)
>Please use this log only when there are serious problems with the cache or its location. Do not use it if the cache needs repairs, or you didn't find it, or the location made you uncomfortable. Please consider first contacting the owner of the geocache with your concerns. Use the profile link next to the cache owner's name at the top of the cache page to send an email, as well as logging to the cache page about your visit.
If you have no response from the cache owner after 30 days then I'd suggest using a Needs Archive Note. Except for in the most extreme cases, it's normally best to give the cache owner a chance to fix the issue before alerting the reviewers.

This one may need archiving as well, based on the last number of DNF logs.
Not a lot of description to go by but we're guessing by previous logs that's it's no longer here, as we couldn't find it either. Sad face.
Didn't find, but also didn't really have a GPS, was just going off the directions on the website entry. Will go back with a GPS another day and have another look.
Gave up because previous logs worried me and spent too much time on it if it isn't here
Looked atound the whole place and my guess is someone has taken it. 
awesome adventuring though
awesome adventuring thoughOut with RoddyC and Nadine 1989 visiting the Gold Coast today.
Ambled in and soon had a GZ.
Nadine1989 had a smile on her face and I knew the cache had been found.
Signed the log and returned to hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Skywarp
All good with this cache

All good with this cacheCaching day on the northern end of "The Goldie" today with Team Benders and Nadine1989. After a welcome lunch break, we set off for the final seven caches for the day.
Although hot, there was a welcome breeze blowing. The location at GZ though was not under any trees, so we didn't stay too long here unprotected in the heat, once Nadine1989 had located the cache - just enough time to sign and replace.
Found at pm on 24th February 2016. TFTC.

Out and about with RoddyC and Team Benders. We had a lovely day at the Gold Coast and collected 5 mysteries and some traditional ones.
First time ever geocaching, took us a while but we were so excited when we finally found it 
Easy find with Laura2302. Log was full so we put a little piece of paper for the next few people. TFTC!
Nice quick find in a beautiful area. Added an extra bit of paper in there so we can continue logging. BYO pen!
Nice quick find in a beautiful waterside park, wasn't able to sign due to the full log... but took a photo of the log as as evidence of find. TFTC !
Quick find but log needs changing, didn't have a spare on us at time sorry. Tftc
Hey thanks for the hide sorry i havent posted earlier - I thought I had already. Cheers
Paddled over on a kayak from where I was staying but couldn't find it. Shame you can't swim in this water because of the bull sharks.
Out and about today with bristracker and drumandspace. 
Last time I was here there were fishermen everywhere so I wandered off.
Today, with not a soul in sight it was a quick find.
Thanks for the cache.

Spent the day geofinding with Brother Colin and Bristracker. This was the first of many finds for me (and a few new ones for them, too). I didn't contribute much today except for ooohs and aaahs as we saw wallabies and a koala and lots of birds and interesting scenery. Thanks BC and B and TFTC!
Glorious little peninsula today. Not a muggle in sight. Quick find for three of us caching today.
Not far from my home, surprised I had not found it before. My kind of cache, I have to say.

I was heading south for an event this evening and collecting a few smileys along the way. This one made it to my "to do" list.
I wandered across the park and had a look at the water.
A nice quick find at GZ. I managed to squeeze my name in to the log, but it is chock full now. It needs replaced urgently.

It's still there... A quick find in a lovely little park right on the water. I took a seat and admired the view while signing the logsheet. TNLNSL. Thanks for showing me this pretty spot that I probably wouldn't have discovered on my own and TFTC.

A lovely spot to stop and soak in the sun and surroundings.
Found with staceemichaelolsen.
The log needs replacing almost full, space for 1 or 2 more.
ThNx for the hide

GPSr wanted me to head towards one of the trees. It just wouldn't stay still. So I went back and sat down to wait for it to settle.
A couple of muggles enjoying a spot of fishing back towards the apartment building but they weren't interested in me, thankfully.
The GPSr finally settled so I thought, I wonder. And sure enough, had cache in hand.
No need for a tool for log extraction for this one but had it one hand in case.
Signed and replaced.
Off to the next one. TFTC

Little tricky to find but not too hard. One of those quick ten minute finds.
Mrs Herbz valiantly braved the squalling winds and rain of the aftermath of Tropical Storm Marcia. Perfect weather for hunting ducks in fact. Armed with her trusty umbrella it took a while to locate this lillle Red Duck which, as it turned out, wasn't red at all. A nice hide, all is good with the cache. TFTC.
Out to find a few caches before finishing a cake due tomorrow. Found this cache easily and wonder how many people in the homes have seen cachers come here hahaha sign and dash lol
Thanks for the cache. Log 3/4 full CO.

Owner maintenance needed immediately. Radioactive_panda log should be delete ESPECIALLY THE PHOTO ATTACHED. made me very upset hasnt been removed already and sad someone would upload that and write a muggle type log. Should be deleted and ask cacher to do a correct log!!!! If they actually found it.
