###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###
This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) by **26th August**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing.

**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.

Great history. Quick find on a beautiful day. Cache needs replacing. It was full of water so we couldn't sign it. TFTC

As others have mentioned, container is broken. Logbook is wet & mouldy. It's a pretty spot so a bit of TLC would be great to keep it active.

Found it with Tweety2 on the way home from Edithburgh JLWE Event. We were just unable to sign the log due to soggy & mouldy, see pic attached. Needs Maintenance, picturesque area.

This is the only proof that we found it. Because the log was glued shut with mould.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Needs maintenance bad... container is majorly brittle.. just like my leg.. everything in it is saturated and stinks.. The weeds are waist high.. which caused me to fall over a large log... Instantly bruised my leg and foot... was funny afterwards but not at the time.

Hi there Reviewer,

RE: The cache "Cocky's Crossing"

I'm following up on my "Needs Maintenance" log which is now well over 28 days old.
There has been no action by the CO. The cache appears to have been abandoned and perhaps needs to go.

Hi there supachick.

We found your cache **"Cocky's Crossing"** at 1:24:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 16037).

Our trek today took us from Gladstone, through Crystal Brook and on to Merriton following the "next closest" route plotted by the GPS. Then it was through Wandeeran and Lauriston before heading back to Gladstone using the same method.. On our trek we found a variety of container types. & ended up finding 18 caches with 0 DNF's.

Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The cache is UV damaged, very brittle and mouldy. It really needs some owner TLC. mouldy
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing,.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

The area is hugely overgrown after a wet winter. Luckily the GPS lead me close to GZ and after a short search, the container was uncovered. Container lid is broken and the log is saturated. I would tread carefully here once the weather warms up and joe blakes become active. Tftc

Heading to Coobowie for a few days before heading back to Qld
Nice easy cache to find on the day

Thanks! Container is broken and a little soggy inside.

Fun explore on a beautiful day. TFTC

#2410 - Found by Bruce in the morning on our ride from Port Germain. The scrub has been substantially cleaned so wandering around was easy compare to previous logs.
All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour via the highest peak in each State and mainland Territory.

Many thanks to the cache owner supachick for establishing and maintaining this cache. We had our morning tea on the other side of the River Broughton in a nasty westerley for bike riding.

Nice hide. Thank you for the fun from Sydney! We enjoyed finding this one (:

Our tour from Sydney to Ayers Rock took roughly two weeks. We can't reproduce which cache we've visited at what time any more. That's why we logged all of them at the same days, so don't be confused about that (:

Beautiful day for a Good Friday find...3/4/15

KarpyKarpyson and I embarked on a sweep of the Port Pirie region today. 30 caches in total for me. This one took a while as the GPS had us all over the place. KK found it while I was off with the fairies thinking the high terrain would send me over the edge! TFTC

with Limbage on a day of caching on the way to and around PT Pirie ... thanks for the hide .

Found It!
Nice little spot for a cache! No water in the river today despite all the rain in recent days...
TFTC

I had a bit of a battle with the scrub here looking for the cache
The creek had water in it, but I would not have wanted to fall down the steep creek bank to get to the water [:o]

And just when I thought I would never find this cache, it appeared

Parked on the wrong side of the bridge and in walking back across the grass Mr Beetle trod on a broken bit of bottle which went straight through his caching shoes [thongs]. Not a good start to our search here but no real damage done which was lucky.
The cache was a quick find and pretty much laying there totally exposed.
Amused as we drove away from this one that the local farmer has baled the roadside verge - got a fair few bales off it too.
Thanks.

Bush bashing fun!

Nice spot will go back for lunch someday after a rain TFTC

Out with the kids and cousins from port Lincoln, great day for caching

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia after having attended Oz Mega.

The day was fairly warm with the odd shower to keep us alert. We managed to find a few caches along the way with the caravans in tow, so we only stopped where it was safe to do so.

TFTC and helping us to continue our exploration of SA whilst Geoaching supachick

Today we left Bute on the fantastic Yorke Peninsula and traveled with Felixll to Whyalla picking up a few caches where is was safe to stop.

Thanks for your cache supachick.

[Blue]# 9459 Found on the SA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
Another road trip north with Team Robins on the way to Port Pirie.
Not many muggles around and a quick find on most of them.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

An oldy but a goody watch out for snakes !!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Lots of history around here. Pity no sign of the buildings anymore. Thanks

Took the kids for an arvo of caching, would have been better
if it wasn't so windy. Just had to synchronize door openings
to stop things blowing out of the car.

Could have been difficult with all the trees about but we
lucked upon the find very quickly

TNLN, thanks supachick

Found on our way down to Kadina.

4 of 11 Finds, 5 DNF's on this run

2086 Total Finds

Spotted this one on the radar as we were headed to Bute. The Missus pulled over on the other side of the bridge, and I hoofed it back to this one. Again, SOGGY feet after walking through the tall weeds and grass. And, they would remain soggy the rest of the day, like the prior three days. I don't think my feet will ever be dry again.

Found while on a quick visit to Port Pirie TFTC

Out caching with Sars12. End of our caching holiday. Finding caches for the Scout Competition. TFTC

Good hide

Nice hide in the dark. TFTC

TFTC
Nice easy drive by with a short scenic walk. Through spider webs!!! Bahahahaha!!

May the fourth be with you.

Last one for today and that brings my total finds to 300! Celebrate!!!! TFTC left you a bronze girl.

South Australia 2013 with Sol de Lune. We headed off on 12/4 and arrived home on 28/4. The trip was to visit the SA series so more time could be spent at the Mega itself next year. We did a huge variety of caching around Murray Bridge, the Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Whyalla Region. Apart from one wet night and two wet days we were able to spend heaps of time caching.

Today we were traveling to Whyalla for the FTF trail. A bit more distance and less caching, but a fun day. Everyone has done a great job of placing a great variety of caches and we had a great day.

Thanks.

Albida

Grabbed with Albida on our 2 week caching run from Canberra to, and around, different parts of South Australia including Loxton, Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend, Yorke Peninsula and around to Whyalla before heading home via Broken Hill, Cobar and Parkes. We completed a few power trails and left a couple to do when in the area again for next years Mega event.

Overall a great many different styles and types of caches found. A great time was had caching for 16 days straight as well as camping along the way.

Thanks for adding to the fun with this cache.

After a few days in Kadina we now move onto Port Augusta.
This is a cache we found on the way.
Thanks supachick

I always laugh to myself when I pop out of the bush as a car is passing, I'm convinced they will believe I was having a 'comfort stop' TFTC! I would never see things like this area with it's historical sign if not for geocaches like this.

Found with my babe auzzie convict tftc

Finally found it in the last searched (which definitely wasn't the first). It'd look amazing when in flood. TFTC.

After a detour to a nearby cemetery, first of four for today, we were back on the main roads heading north. This wasn't here last time we tried but in luck today. Thanks

Spent an enjoyable day with Moses on the Move, travelling 400km over 14 hours, learning the history of the area and gaining smileys.
Thanks

Would be good when there's water!! Very good cache!!

Tftc found while out with razzadazza and waity90

Tftc

Took a while to find but we did it.

Took a wee bit of searching to locate it.

My second visit to find this one, I was right on the money last time but didnt find it among the thorns and sour sobs. TFTC

Our second attempt at this one, thought it had gone but finds turned up on the watch list, found ourselves in the area and was successful today even with the flakey coords under the trees, took a bit of searching with the soursobs covering everything TFTC

Our 2nd DNF today.
We spent quite some time here at around 3:28:00 PM, but couldn't locate the cache.
Ian and Penny

Found this one in the torch light

I had fun with this one - I nearly decided to go the hard way.
Thanks supachick.

Found on warm ride with desertfox41, TNLN .

found while on dirt bike cach ride with DEMON41, heavy tree cover as in previous logs, MAP62S jumped around for awile, settled down then pointed straight at the cach ! tnln thanks supachick

Found as part of a two day Northern areas run with Team Waldron.
traffic certainly wizzing by here, take care folks.
Easy find
TFTC

A 2 day trip from Adelaide to Pt Augusta and back wwith White Dog Gang collecting over 100 caches.

We travelled over 1000km in 2 days.

No angry cocky's here today.

TFTC

This was trickier than the rating suggested. GPS not playing the game in the tree canopy. Last chance luck kicked in on this one even with 4 sets of eyes looking. TFTC

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

Geodad went for a bush walk, Geomum waited at the car, then seen geodad walking around , asked him have you found it, not yet. Geomum then decided another set of eyes where better than one pair, by the time Geomum got to Geodad he said I just found it, well hidden, signed new log and left a reindeer. TFTC

Nearly gave up on this one before finally coming up with the prize. Signed the new log book and left the old one alone on the advice of previous finder

TFTC
Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

WE originally had trouble finding the container... called the previous finder....while he was explaining where it was to me, SXC found it! We signed the NEW log and went on our way.

Ok to be fair I did not find it but a fellow traveller did,I was in the area and after trying to find it some time ago thought I'd give it another go.I was looking in all the obvious and some not so obvious when my fellow traveller walked over with a log book and a perished container,fantastic I thought so I signed the log, went and got a replacement container and pencil and returned to the site.It was then that I was informed that he was marking his spot when he happenned to find the container,I have left a new logbook as well.So it's your choice which you sign but you have been warned

DNF on this one and definatly needs a look at. Either that or is very very very very well hidden

Had a hunt around for a while it was like hunting for a needle in a haystack. Quite a bit of overgrowth may need a maintenance check. TFT hunt anyway.

Couldnt find alot of growth around. But will be back for another look.

Add me to the list of DNF's - hunted high and low but there is evidence of flooding in the area

After a good long search I found nothing, not a sign! There is evidence of localised flooding hereabouts and I suspect the cache might have been washed away into the nearby creek some time ago.

Make ours DNF #3 here. Spent a good 10 minutes going round and round our GZ to no avail. Still a way to go, so we called it off then.

DNF this one. Saw previous searchers efforts but on our way home and time running out. Found 54 others on my Southern Flinders Ranges sightseeing and Geocaching holiday. TFTC – Unka Dave

I have to say this one beat me today but as Arnie declared "I will be back", to many sour sobs, not enough daylight hours left.

Found by The Noodler and Waterlogged. T.N.L.N.

Nice easy find while in Pt Pirie to play Canoe Polo for the Masters Games.

Came past here before, but decided to trust GPS and while geo-man was trying to find co-ord i ducked down to look in a bush and came up with the goods. TFTC

Whoo Hooo thought we would have to give up.... but a lucky find at the last minute!!

No luck with this one, lots of bull ants thou!! Next time i won't wear thongs

A nice easy find. I emptied the water out of the container. The book is still dry. Appears that there was a great rush of water through this area recently. What a great spot to sit and ponder after a long drive. TFTC

Found bricks and cache. TFTC took monkey left gecko

Not for us either .

Nup. Nothing. Not a sausage. Found the bricks. GPSr took me to the tree several times but then just moved me around and around and around. Spent too much time here with no real clue of a GZ start point even with a GPS(?) Grumble, grumble....

Plenty of history at this creek crossing. Found cache without drama. Thankyou for bringing us here and organising the hide.
TNLNSL
Cheers & TFTC!

No luck here today, re-entered the area from a few different angles hoping to enlighten my senses, no such luck. There's a few I've missed on this trip, I'll have to keep them stored for next time I'm out this way.

I was back, and I walked straight to the cache!
How did I miss that last time? Perhaps it was all the debris that had been wased from it this time.
TNLNSL, Cheers.

Spent a fair bit of time here looking but no joy
I did find two nice bricks right where the GPS said GZ was!
