I am no longer in the area and I have been receiving a mix of DNF's and found. So the best thing to do is close it

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. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
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.

Looked for awhile but the mossies where really bad and no bug spray so left this one not finding.
Introducing a few muggle mates to geocaching today, this is our first for the day. Looking for a good mix of finds to show them this one did not dissapoint. At GZ we found the cache in good order. Tftc Treking Trev
Easy find today. Not sure what happened last time . Nice to redeem a frown into a smile. Lovely morning for a ride. TFTC
Walked along the entire hunt object. Plenty of places where rocks have been removed but nothing that I could find. Maybe I’m cache blind due to my lockdown ninja mask
Took a while, but eventually got it after using the hint. Was our first find. Thanks for the GC find
Thanks Treking Trev for this cache placed in this nice section of green space. Was a straight forward find. We took a TB that was located in the cache for a trip up to Far North Queensland.
First Cache for my 8 year old daughter. Took a little searching. Head left from the Main Switch board
Out for a lunchtime cache hunt on my way home and saw this one nearby. Parked close by and headed to the GZ. Initially headed in the wrong direction, but found what I thought I needed. However, GPS was jumping and kept directing me about 15 metres from where I was. Definitely came into the actual GZ from the wrong side haha! If I had just followed the coordinates in the first place this cache would have been so much easier!!! Eventually found the place I actually needed and searched the obvious places, but couldn't find the cache.....confused I expanded my search area and realised *duh!* I had tiredly been going in the wrong direction. Found the cache, left a trackable, signed the log and left. Enjoyed the butterflies flying around, but not so much the mosquitoes.
Thanks Treking Trev! Don't forget the mosquito repellent, the warmer weather is here!
A quick find in the expected area. Log was mush, so I replaced it in a new bag. TNLNSL TFTC
Originally found 13.04.20 with Jorien16 when she first introduced me to Geocaching. Now that I've been converted from muggle to full fledge Geocacher with some caching experience, I thought it time to come back to where I lost my Geo-virginity and log my first for myself. TFTC truely, you were my first, but you won't be my last!
Cache in need of maintanence as cache and logs full and water-logged.
Came in search of trackable listed, however was'nt in cache contents. (Missing??? Or not listed as taken.)

Tftc. Found thanks to some helpful rubbish. As a bonus geokids had some fun in the park.
Have been encouraging my 11 year old niece to keep fit and this one was perfect along and running path. She absolutely loved it. Easy find.
We couldn’t find this one anywhere! I am under the impression it is a large one too?
It's rare that we know we're living through history, but make no mistake, in years and decades to come, we will look back on and remember these COVID-19 lockdowns. Thankfully, we are still allowed out for essential travel and exercise. I'm happy to combine those for a quick geocache find to ensure April sees just a little bit of the love. The future really is uncertain.
We're allowed to be with one other person, so I was with a friend also in complete isolation today up this way for.. an essential thing. On the way back I noticed this older hide hasn't yet been visited by me. It would be a quick detour, even if as per normal, the North Lakes streets confused me slightly.
Parking was at a premium (more residents at home I guess) but we parked up and dodged joggers before wandering the thirty metres to GZ. A few steps away, I spotted the container poking out and made a beeline for it. A quick extraction and sadly, I can confirm the logbook is in a bit of a wet state. Unfortunately, we had nothing today to fix it up.
And that was it. A potentially cheeky find, but I believe it's well within the restrictions at the moment. Thanks for this geocache and keeping it going, Treking Trev

Found at 9:07 AM GAFF3.
Out for a morning ride on the bike picking up caches around where we are staying. Cache was found after stepping back and observing where a nook for a cache would be. Unfortunately the cache log is very wet as water got into the container.
Thanks Treking Trev.
Feedback: Not sure why this cache is shown as "Other" for size - it's a small.

DNF this one we followed all the instructions but nothing. this was not even showing up as a cache on my husband's iphone
Parked up close by and wandered over to GZ, after a bit of a search cache was in hand. Took "Tuffy" TB to continue its journey around Australia. TFTC Treking Trev 
Not sure y its classified as "other", but a quick, spur of the moment find while in the area; sorry I had no swaps but TFTC
Found it, mosquitos were attacking in force! And a magpie came to check me out

Cache needs some refreshing, everything’s a lot soggy! I’ve added a small log in a ziplock bag in the mean time
After moving a whole bunch of rocks we didn’t need to we realised we didn’t need to move any really big rocks. A fun find. Thanks!
Went looking yesterday with no success, decided to go back today and with a group of 3 we found it.
Searching near electrical unit and rock wall, compass tool was not helpful. Lead to a plant which did not yield a cache.
