Logging this properly this time. The lid of this cache is completely smashed and the inside is very damp. This sadly hasn't changed since I last stopped by here pretty much exactly 2 years ago. I hate to have to do it but I'm marking this as NA because if Snuva isn't going to fix this despite pretty much every log mentioning the damage and despite me having actually messaged him directly then I think we should give this beautiful site to someone who will care for it. TNLN SL
TFTC... I think.

Hi
This cache appears to have some problems. It is the cache owner's responsibility to read the logs and check the cache to sort out any problems with it and give an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find.
**The cache is being Disabled to give the Cache Owner an opportunity to investigate and fix the apparent issues.**
Once the cache is operational again, the CO should write an *Owner Maintenance* log advising that the promlems have been fixed, and to remove the *Needs maintenance* attribute (red cross) if that is showing on the cache page. The CO can then write an Enable log to return the cache to play.
If the cache cannot be fixed it should be archived.
**If there is no response to this log after 30 days the cache will be Archived.**

The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

TFTC - what a lovely spot to sit and watch the river. It was a bit moody today but very peaceful. Cache is definitely in need of TLC, not sure how much longer it will last in current condition. Dropped off a dinosaur for a visit.

Great spot for a cache! Unfortunately the container is looking a little worse for wear and the log book is wet but great spot! TFTF

Found with geoboy, needs a replacement 1L sistema container as this one is seriously past it!! We made some swaps anyway. Log also needs replacing, poor cache needs some love, but it's no wonder seeing how long it's been there

Great spot

Unfortunately this one really needs some maintenance as the lid is broken and has fallen into the cache. The contents, including several logbooks are quite damp, and a 'normal' pen probably wouldn't be able to leave a mark! Unfortunately, I had no supplies with me today to 'fix' anything. I'd be sad to see this one archived.
However, its a nice spot for a cache, we enjoyed our visit here today, so thanks Snuva for the cache and for bringing us here. Now, we're off to find some lunch!
#1031 @ 1345hrs Saturday 14th July 2018. Happy Bastille Day!

Today we (JnrEP & I ) parked below the NW corner of the Tasman Bridge, bicycled over on the northern side, snuck along the track under Rose Bay, then around Rosny Point, a late lunch near Eastlands, back over the bridge (south side), back towards the domain a little and then back to the car. An enjoyable outing on a cold wintery day, with 8 finds and 2 DNFs.

This was the cache that brought me to this area today as I needed a cache from 2004 for a challenge at home. I chose this for the name and story. Great spot. Shame the lid is damaged and log books are very wet. Fav point for the view and the history. TFTC Snuva.

Tricky find in the dark. That's what happens when you underestimate the time it will take to get to the cache in winter. The cache was full of water and needs attention. Log was wet.

Took a slightly more difficult path down to this one, then once at gz spotted the much easier path back up. Found quickly at GZ. As others have said, log books very wet but still managed to sign. Tipped the water out of the box but unable to dry further, needs maintenance. TFTC.

The view here is stunning [^] Bellerive is certainly a lovely suburb Smile Parked the bike up and made my way to GZ to discover a cache in a cool hidey spot. The lid is damaged and contents within were wet, but the log book was signable Smile Dried the cache out and replaced the items. SL at 16:20 on Tue 27 Dec 2016. TFTC Snuva Smile

I found this after a little searching. My instincts told me I was in the right spot but I walked past two or three times before spotting it when I came from the right angle. Turned out it was a little visible so I covered it with an extra rock when I hid it again. The cache was pretty wet inside and the logs were damp but still usable. The bag protecting them was ripped though so it was useless so I replaced it. The lid of the cache is broken though so when I replaced the cache I put it back upside down to try to keep the rain out.

Was a gorgeous day though and a great view. TNLN SL TFTC

Attached photos of the view from near GZ. Sorry about the tablet case getting in the way. It's a new tablet so I'm still learning how to use it and I didn't notice the case in the way until I got home and looked at the pics.

We are irregular visitors to Hobart & when we do we are faced with a cornucopia of caches. Which from the hundreds do we choose? Well today, this was "the one", simply because it gave us another tick in our Jasmer grid - that placed month & year thing we'll never ever complete. Being ex-Hobartians though, we remember the day exactly, just like the '67 bushfires, the moon landing & the Pt Arthur shooting. We were surprised to find the original (now full) logbook still intact & could read the note & the finders marks of yesteryear. Great to see these older caches still going. Thanks Snuva.

Found this one while walking along the foreshore track for the first time. The cache had a bit of water in it when I found it. I drained the water out and the logs are still in decent condition as they were being elevated above the water by the swapables underneath. This was a beautiful spot and I'm really happy this cache brought me here. Managed to take a few good photos too. TFTC

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

No specific plan for today but eventually we decided to head out with the bikes to tackle some caches.

A great day not too hot, not too cool. Some of the bike paths were a bit scary with loose rock and so many hills! Is there any flat bits in Tassie [?] [8)] [:o)]

Fun day and only 1 DNF right at the end of the day. Twisted

This cache was fully exposed so tried to cover it when replacing it.
