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.

No luck here either

Had a really good look for this one. Pretty sure it's not there.

I know where it should be.. but no luck for me today! Tftc

Couldn’t find this one. Might need to be checked.

Couldn't see it

Tassie Trip 23 - Today was a suitable day for a drive around and see some sights and check the roads for a trip later on with the big box behind and the suitability of the road. It was decided that a trip to Waratah to check out a possible camp location.

Now on our way to Waratah proper we managed to stop at the cementary however today we were unable to find the prize.

Thanks Boagsratz for bring us here and showing us the interesting location.

The had fun looking for this one.

Found it on a cold wet day. Need a pen and the log book is wet but a good found

Couldn't write on the log book it was wet, also left a toy army man in place

Found on a cool and damp afternoon while out and about from our nearby camp. A great resting place for a cache! Tftc

What an amazing old cemetery. Wandering among the tombstone you wonder about their stories. Tftc

Hi there Boagsratz.

We found your cache **"Twelve Steps of Caching (step 7)"** at 2:23:00 PM today. (This makes our grand total 18921).

We are camped at Waratah for a couple of nights, before heading down to Zeehan and Queenstown. After setting up camp we decided to head back to Hellyer Gorge and then cache our way back to camp. We thoroughly enjoyed the drive - it's much easier without the caravan - and ended up finding a variety of container types, and sizes. Our find count for the day was 5 caches, with 0 DNF's.

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

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache exactly where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found it with girls

Thank you for bring us here,

We would often stop in to visit an old cemetery. We were lucky this one had a cache as it won't be able to be seen once the trees have grown back. Thanks for bringing us here and for the cache.

Such a quiet place for a cache, good hidey hole too. But I was very dedicated and located the cache, all logged and replaced. Thanks for the cache.

Drove out from Waratah to see the Water Tunnel and continued to grab this cache. An easy find and retrieve. Added my name to the log and returned the cache to its hidey hole. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find. Pity about all the other steps. Maybe I will meet up with them along the way. TNLN SL TFTC

Getting used to this place, but what a beautiful tree that we think should be a hundred years old. TFTC

Lovely old cemetery. Thanks for placing the cache here.

Over from the 'big smoke' of Hobart for a long weekend of caching we called at this one after we had finished at the Aussie day event just down the road, with three caching teams this one didnt take long to find and we were soon all adding our names to the log book.

Thanks for the well hidden cache.

Found at 12:36 on 26/01/2018

The best caches I have found so far by type are:-

Traditional [Moorgreen P3:1, Penny Pincher](http://coord.info/GC32Z5B) By [Sven&Cup](http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=6596795)
Multi [CoaledHearted](http://coord.info/GCKGZ5) By [CraigRat](http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=256663) 
Unknown [Men In Black Holes](http://coord.info/GC1DVB0)  By [SG-3](http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=918045) 
Letterbox [Rolf's Letterbox](http://coord.info/GC5NCYM)  By [membsec](http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=5318842) 

Maybe we should have started at step 1 but I don't do things the normal way and we were near here. After the nearby Australia Day event we came here with TazScout and stainless-steel-rat so with 7 pairs of eyes it didn't take long to spot the hide. The cache tried to sneak further into it hiding place but we got it out eventually. We made sure this would not happen again by securing an object to block the deeper hole. Thanks Boagsratz

Quick find
One of the cache for our run to the Australia day event in Waratah
Caches found 15 - inc 1 x FTF, DNF 2, Left alone due to muggles 2
1 new path tag, 1 x souvenir

A quick find after the Oz day event in Waratah, did a bit of a caching loop with SSRat and Goose&Egg with the event as one of the stops. TFTC

TFTC. Found on a beautiful summer's day. Cheers

Glad for my long fingernails and twiggy wrists... left pretties. Beautiful spot. Tftc.

Found Deep, luckily not 6foot under.

We are jumping all over the place with this Series - or just doing them as we come across them! Yes, we can definitely relate to all those statements in the cache notes. It was very busy with quite a few 'living' muggles visiting this little place today. So we persisted and were patient until they ALL departed. By the time the last couple left, we had worked out where the cache was, and with some difficulty wrestled it from its hiding place.

Staying at Burnie for a week as part of our 8 mth holiday in Tasmainia.. Went for a little drive today ( only 170kms) just love the scenery. TFTC

Found whilst out at about chasing snow TFTC

Found with the Puggle Pirates. The cache was lying in the open, so we tried to hide it in an appropriate place close by.
The contents were quite wet (we drained the cache container!).
TFTC!

Nice quick find before heading into Waratah for lunch. All good with the cache and contents. Thanks for placing this cache in an interesting cemetery.

Hides in cemetaries are always good. Usually no-one around to wonder at your antics & we don't look peculiar lurking about even if there were. Plus old cemetaries have their own interesting appeal. Even the sun came out to say hello. All boxes ticked thankyou. TFTC.

Peaceful spot.

Again a tough but rewarding find.

Just the one place the cache had to be. Did a couple of rotations before spotting something not quite right.. A challenging find.. thanks..!!

Easy find. Cache snug and dry. Interesting white lichen. TFTC Boagsratz.

Love caches in old cemeteries it keeps us in touch with our past. TFTC

A hobbsession, mayhaps?? TFTC.

No idea where the other 6 steps are but we found the 7th!!!

So my brother and his children have joined me on a trip to Tasmania from Mount Gambier in South Australia. My niece and nephew are getting very good at this treasure hunting.
Thanks to all of the hiders for bringing us to so many fantastic places.

Great spot. Found it when it was snowing. TFTC

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! Our journey started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island, before heading to Melbourne via Goolwa, Strathalbyn, Coorong, Mount Gambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell, Cape Otway and Lorne, cramming in as much as possible on route. We are now here in Tasmania on the second leg of our journey. We then head back to Melbourne before setting off to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. After a visit to Sydney we will travel on to the Gold Coast, then after spending a few days in the nearby mountainous birding hotspots, followed by an overnight trip to Fraser Island, we will fly from Brisbane to Cairns, visiting yet more good birding sites. We will then drive up to Cape Tribulation before heading back south again to Port Douglas and a day out on the Great Barrier Reef. We then return to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs, where we will hire a 4x4 camper and set off for a week on the circuit to and from Kings Canyon and Ayers Rock. We then fly to Darwin from where we will spend the last two weeks of our holiday making our way to Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!

This morning we were supposed to have crossed from Corrina via the "Fatman" cable barge, but on arriving at Corrinna two days ago we had found the barge out of order due to the cable having snapped under the pressure of massive tree trunks being washed down the river following on from a recent massive storm. Well, there had to be a bonus to the long diversion we now had to take, and indeed there was - a series of caches! - this was one of them. A nice quick find at Ground Zero, and yes, it's a hobby, a dedication, and an obsession! As we've seen it on a Frog Geocoin "Cache until you Croak"! Thanks so much for the cache.

TFTC

TFTC nice old cemetary

Another one done. Woo Hoo! I love the challenge of the geocache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. This is an amazing world-wide game of hide and seek. I love it! I also enjoy caching with my family, and meeting fellow cachers. It really is a small world when I read over cache logs.

**Thanks go to Boagsratz for placing this cache and maintaining it**. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and it is much appreciated. I enjoyed finding this one at 3:01:06 PM while on tour of Tassie with Jackson Lightning and our geo-family. I needed my Leathernam to shave back some bark to get the container out though. This cache was another "Found it" for me. TFTC! Cheers. *Jump Pilot*

Easy find but hard to get your hand on it TFTC

quiet spot, quick find. it is a hobby - i guess TFTC!

found on our quick week around tassie trip. Thanks

It's an obsession! Quick find, TFTC
We started out this morning from Boat Harbour to Waratah and on to Savage River then back through numerous smaller towns until Burnie and then back to Boat Harbour approximately 330 km round trip. It was a beautiful day, temp was just right and no smoke about. We've enjoyed all the caches and thank the cache owners for them

We've now only got six weeks left of our six month stay (til the end of March '16) from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney, to tour in the caravan and also visit our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley On four previous visits before this visit, we were muggles, so we're having fun finding the caches we didn't even know were here!

I like old cemetery

Took a little hunting but geohubby had his caching eyes on.. Tftc

A fascinating old cemetery. We had just had an evening meal in Waratah after a day of caching our way up from Corinna via Savage River to Waratah. A nice hide too. TFTC.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

Our last day in Waratah so we headed out to those caches that we had yet to find on our last few days here. Nice quiet town that we were pleased to have visited.

Nope its and addiction (obsession) for us!

Taking the time to go back and record caches I missed logging before -found this one about 6 months ago - but have been slack and forgot to report the find. TFTC.

What a magnificent old tree in this lovely historic cemetery. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad Carer Lis Brown and currently living at Corinna on the magnificent north west coast of Tasmania.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
Interesting bit of history here. Took a moment to enjoy it, even tho it was raining heavily. Just as we were about to leave we spotted an echidna. He didn't seem to know we there and came right up to our feet to have a sniff. Got some good pics.
Thanks for the fun Boagsratz!

Tftc. Log a bit wet.

Right in the dead centre of town. TFTC

10th find of the day for team KK

It's cold and windy. Classic trope for a cemetery. TNLN TFTC

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Found it nice and cold here!! Tftc

Im so glad our party of four decided to head north instead of south after we stayed overnight at Corinna.
Otherwise I would have missed all these quaint little places.
Thanks Boagsratz

Quick find. It has been a long time since I began working through the twelve steps series when I was living on the NW coast, so it was a pleasant reminder of the happy times I spent up here when I stopped to find this one.

We are definitely hooked and thoroughly enjoying the geocaches in Tasmania and Australia in general. TFTC.

Slightly wet - good hide-Very addictive - Jenny and Craig

Sharp eyed Bill found this very quickly. The lid was off but all was dry. A fascinating little graveyard. This trip to Tasmania going anticlockwise from Devonport is our third trip and the first in our motorhome. This is another cache, there will be many more, hopefully.

A nice easy find, interesting area. (Not sure why the lid was off though, we replaced it as found). One of several found on our way to Corinna. TFTC
