I am archiving this cache due to the unfortunate lack of action taken to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, flange_1&tribe, requesting additional time.Despite ample opportunities provided for the Cache Owner to respond, their silence leads me to the conclusion that the cache has been abandoned.In such cases, archived caches will not be unarchived, and as a result, this location is now open for the placement of a new cache by another interested party.Thanks,BalayangCommunity Reviewer - Australia
##Cache Maintenance Required please.##
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance).
If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.
I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.
If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

Cache has been destroyed only lid remains and fence is getting replaced. Requires attention
With just a lid and a scrap of paper this does not really qualify as a cache anymore. Probably should be replaced soon or let go.

Found With GeoMaggie2. On a caching day out with our four Westies. Thanks for placing this cache.
Thank you for the cache from GeoMaggie and her sidekick Bonnie.
Travelling with Angus 88. Easy find. Cache is beginning to disintegrate.

Geocache container is breaking up. Travelling with Angus 88. Nice flat walk. Easy find
Easier from inside fence. Much more difficult out. Note open hours 7.30 am - 6 pm. Maybe jump fence otherwise?
This one was so cool. Our last for the day. We left a little Christmas tree. Merry Christmas to you and your granddad.

Thanks for the cache FLANGE_1&TRIBE.
Spending the weekend in Low Head with RLD4963. After a slightly delayed start today (due to hot water issues at our accommodation) we headed out for a day of cacheing. RLD4963 had already logged this one on our previous visit to the area a couple of years ago, whilst I had been taking the GeoGSP for a walk. With the GeoGSP back in Hobart at his favourite doggy resort this weekend, I was keen to find those I hadn't had a chance to search for before.
After enjoying lunch and a couple of coffees at a local cafe, we headed to the parking area for this one, and after a quick stroll I was able to add my name to the log.

Travelling through this town and what better way to pick up local history than walking through a cemetety. Loved reading the headstones, and loved finding this cache . Thanks.
It is great to find an almost ten year old cache that is still in good order although I don't think the hint really matches exactly where it is. TFTC.
Very easy to find,left a cute suvinear in there also for the next finder! Never took out anything just wrote my name down.
Out and about with Lil Rafa to get caches for the Hidden Creatures series, all the way to Low Head, we found, signed and replaced the cache, completing the find. TFTC TNLN log dry, cool nights but nice days. easy find with clues, what a crack.
#14443. Day 15 of our 3 week holiday in Tasmania. Robmc and I are still staying at Low Head - such a wild and windy place today and I suspect most of the time, in fact! It is blowing like a banshee and with some heavy rain also has been rather bleak today. However, we drove back in to George Town and managed to gather up 11 caches for the morning before retreating back to the Pilot Station for lunch and a Museum Tour.
I always enjoy a stroll amongst the headstones of old cemeteries but this did not happen today due to the appalling weather. We found the cache quickly enough, added our names to the log sheet and beat a hasty retreat back to the car.
Thanks flange_1&tribe

Day fifteen of our holiday in Tassie. Bettyboo3747 and I are still staying at Low Head Pilot Station.
The forecast was wet, wet, wet, but more so in the afternoon (windy goes without saying!), so we jumped into the geomobile and set off for a couple of puzzles we solved last night, and a few other caches around George Town. Cached until it starting really raining, the scarpered back to the Pilot Station Cafe for lunch, then a tour of the Maritime Museum in the afternoon.
We usually spend a bit of time looking around cemeteries, but the weather was not really conducive to this today.
So we signed the cache and dashed back to the car.
Thanks, Robmc.

A quiet walk in the cemetery with a GPS that seemed to be going in circles. Of course we probably ended up on the wrong side of the fence for easy access. Signed log and replaced. TFTC
Really interesting cemetery, probably some of the oldest graves we have seen in Australia.

I've been trying to find out where the cemetery is hidden hereabouts
Not only to find a cache,
which I knew there would be one [^]
But more importantly,
I needed to top up the water bottles
Georgetown sure doesn't like to provide fresh water taps to thirsty travellers
But I know that if you can't find a working tap in a towne,
then head for the cemetery.
Cemeteries always provide ample rubbish bins,
and taps for the wayward camper to replenish the water bags [^]
Don't tell the Harveers !!
Let them run around in slow circles looking for a tap
TFTC by the graves !!
An easy find after quenching me thirst !!
And quenching me thirst for caches too

Hi there flange_1&tribe.
We found your cache **"NOT FORGOTTEN"** at 10:06:00 AM today. (This brings our total find count to 18671).
We chased some Georgetown & "out of town" caches today. We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey & had an absolutely wonderful drive. Our count for the day was 9 finds (& 2 DNF's).
Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape - and a bit bigger than the "micro" we were expecting.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Thank you I have never been to Georgetown cemetery, came after girls football match. Lovely cemetery.
Did not find. Found a few places could have been but no sign of a log book anywhere
A quick find the log was soaking wet and unsignable so we left one of our calling cards. TFTC This is a lovely area and we're enjoying our second day's caching here. The weather is perfect. Also looking forward to the event on Monday evening to meet and thank all the Tassie CO's who have added so much fun to our touring here.
We've now only got four 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! even know were here!
