This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter.

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

String of DNFs, a 'needs maintainence' not responded to... (CO last online July 2018). This one needs to be archived.
It looks like this one might be missing. Can the CO please check whether it is still there
Upon further examination, found the cache which I originally thought was rubbish!
Goes to show how good the disguise is

Thought I’d drop in to a cache on the way back from running some errands nearby.
I found a place to park super close by, and headed straight over. I parked very close to a house with a resident sitting out back, so I knew I had to be stealthy.
I went down and sat on a rock to wait for the people passing by to move along.
Once they were gone, I started to search, and I was sat directly next to the cache, and found it very easily!
Re-camo’d it, and now it’s on with the day!
TFTC!

Found it at 3.00pm on 29th December 2018. On my way to speedway had time to kill before thrills so what better way for a pirate to find treasure. Yoohoo me hearties
A quick find after waiting for some health nuts to jog past. Crazy people, it's so hot today. Thanks karabash78
Initially we thought this was going to be a definite END but MR VC had a gut feeling & went with it.
Yrs, we found it & in only a couple of minutes too.
The cache is in need of serious maintenance, preferably replacement or archiving.
We did manage to sign the log which is in surprisingly good condition for the overall state of the cache.

DNF. Went looking, couldn’t find, maybe washed away as it looked like there was heavy rain or flooding.
Riding along the bike path this morning, saw me down in and around rocklea, so thought i'd nab this one while i'ma bout. This cache is the lowest on my local map (while down visiting a mate) before needing to refresh for a new cache area, so i've seen it's enticing green circle for a good long while now. Glad to lay claim to a smiley here.
Great little park.
Found at about 9:30am.
Find number 698.
Thanks for placing a cacbe here!

The second find for this afternoon. Didn't take too long to find with accurate coordinates, but cache container needs replacing (it's practically rusted apart). Replaced as carefully as possible. TFTC!
I wandered along the bike path from my last find to this one. I was quite surprised at the number of new houses being built here. This would not be my choice for a good spot to live. I hope they got a good price on the land. 
I passed a few people along the path. Other walkers, scooters and bikers. There was a bloke with a dog near GZ, but they were slowly making their way along the path too, so I just waited till they had made it far enough away before I stopped to hunt.
Not that rock, not that one - its that rock.

Rolled up here on my dodgy ankle but it was a quick walk to GZ It has been frustrating having to go slow for such a long stint.
TFTC karabash78! All is good here.

Took a wee while to find. In the end phone had taken me straight to it, but it can be unreliable so didn't trust it to begin with.
Grabbed this one while working in the area. My GPS was swinging me around but once it settled and reread hint it wasn't too long before I had the cache I hand tftc
Couldn't figure this one out initially but figured if it was still here... looked around once then again then something caught my eye! Yay! Yes, it's still here. Thanks for the cache!
Happy International Geocaching Karabash78!!!
This was the third cache on the list today.
Easy find. Nice place

Couldn't find it but will hopefully back to look again.. has been some rain so original owner might need to go and see if it's still there ?
Was early to collect a client from nearby so made this quick find to fill in time.
Thought this one might be at a near by structure turns out it was much easier . Cute container. Signed log and replaced as found. A rainbow came out as I was leaving. Tftc
With the kids in school and Mrs OC at work, I made the most of a few hours out and about by heading to the Southside to collect a variety of older caches and unusual icons.
Quick find here but log was totally manky. Replacement put in, but requires some maintenance by the CO. Thanks **karabash78** for bringing us here, this find makes
#3413. Discover our trackable TGQNRV .

#3413. Discover our trackable TGQNRV .Found this cache but log was wet (saturated) and unable to be written in. Took photo to show condition of cache. Cache also rusty and has ants inside.
Quick find here after work.. Loved the little croc the log but is in bad condition and only just usable.. TFTC is this lovely quiet park
Picking up a nearby puzzle close by that the aliens left, parked nearby to collect the rock. Container was easily found but wished I'd read the previous finders notes as the log was beyond salvageable and I could barely sign it. Thanks for the cache karabash78.
I visited the Rocklea markets early this morning and dropped past here on the way home. The log is very wet and almost impossible to write on. I suggest the co visit or the next person could bring a zip bag and new paper. TFTC
Parked in the shade on nearby street and made our way to GZ.
Great coords, quick find nicely tucked away.

Out and about in the area for another big day or geocaching. 
I parked close by and with no one around started the search.
I soon found the cache tucked away.
Thanks for the cache.

Out getting a few caches in the area.
Arrived in the area and after a short hunt the cache came to hand.
Signed the log and returned to hide.

All good with this cacheOut this way for a change and decided to collect my daily cache whilst in the area. Was disappointed to discover the troll one had a string of DNF on it. So we walked over to pick this up. Saw a family of ducks with 10 ducklings swimming in the creek. The logbook is very wet but I was able to ply open the back pages and make my mark. TFTC!
I'm not sure if it was recent rains, a dogs nose or the hands of a muggle, but I found the container completely out in the open this morning, with the lid open and the log book about 2' away... I guess that was an easy find...
I snared the rather damp log, etched my name, emptied the water from the container then assembled and tucked it in the place I thought most obvious for the hide... [^]
All done, I headed off. I hope it was washed out of its lair and wasn't the work of a muggle of three.
Cheers karabash78.

This was fourth cache of eight caches decided on a late Saturday morning, even though it was a bit cool. Took the walk to GZand cache was spotted quite easily. This spot would have been flooded the weekend before, and this was noted by the damp logbook. TFTC karabash78
After the rains of last weekend and the condition of the park when we arrived we thought this would have to be a missing cache - but we were proved wrong. Still in its hiding place - log was damp. TFTC.
After finding a nearby cache, I headed to this one. At GZ, the cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC
After finding the Troll nearby, strolled along the path to find the Rock. GZ was found easily and soon had cache in hand. Logbook signed and all returned to its hide. Added a little more natural cover as was a little exposed.
