The situation here has been reviewed again.Sufficient time has elapsed since the issues were highlighted, and nothing has been done to restore it. Circumstances that prevent timely maintenance can arise, and ample opportunity for the Cache Owner to get in touch to request a time extension has been provided.No request has been received from the Cache Owner, Bushies2, for further time to restore the cache.** It appears to have been abandoned by the Owner and, therefore, will be Archived.****Caches lost in this manner will not be Unarchived.**This area is now available for other interested players to utilise for cache placement if viable locations can be found.

### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.It certainly needs to be checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating, or the posted coordinates.* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute that is present. Otherwise :* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information. **Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**. Alternatively:* Archive the cache and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by Bushies2 and to take it off the playing board to prevent further inconvenience to our Geocaching Community.[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been taken by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will conclude that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition and waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.Thank youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer
Hmm not many places that matched the hint and I gave them a pretty good search I thought. Obviously not good enough! Thanks for the photo opp anyway
What an adventure, a few days ago while in Broome, we were urged to visit Derby. It wasn't on our itinerary but decided to go check it out anyway. Loved the Norval Gallery and enjoyed our time exploring town. On leaving it was suggested we head a bit up the Gibb to check out Tunnel creek. With a little prompting, we decided to travel the whole Gibb River Road, exploring lots of gorges and stunning scenery along the way. We free camped, stayed in an aboriginal community and a working cattle station as we explored the Kimberley. We had our first taste of water crossings with 30 flowing creeks and rivers safely navigated. We arrived at this cache with our "I survived the Gibb River Road" sticker ready to attach to our faithful automobile. What an adventure. Tftc
Stopped here and decided to tackle some lunch first, before setting about finding the cache. While we were having lunch we spotted what we believed to be geocachers. Quickly let them know who we were and had a short chat. Cache found, signed and returned as found. Thanks for the hunt

We found this cache, on this iconic road today. We were headed back to Kununurra after a few days at El Questro, including some travelling the eastern end of the GRR, with a couple of crossings of the Pentecost River - a definite highlight!

Quick drive and grab whilst all the muggles are getting pics under the grr signs
A quick find here while heading back to Kununurra from a good night at The Grotto. I'd be back later but I like a morning find to secure my current holiday streak. TNLN-TFTC! Onwards...

Heading north with richlink on our way to Darwin and beyond enjoying the spectacular scenery and finding a cache or two along our route. We found the damaged cache on the ground and in the the open. We have replaxed it, all new and ready to carry on. Thanks Bushies2.
Finally at the end of our adventure along the Gibb River Road. We notice the flashing sign warning of bad weather coming and felt gratefully that we had already completed the trip - so disappointing for many who had been planning for months to visit this spectacular region
We looked in all the likely spots, read previous logs and still didn't find it. It has been a while since it was last found, may have been muggled or washed away???

We have finished the Gibb. What a track loved every minute of it. TFTC. Lots I missed not really organised for this trip on the caching side .
Catching up on some late logs, now that I have time, while travelling.
We are on the road travelling up through central Australian and down the coast of WA. I was happy to grab a few caches along the way and this was one of them.
We're not able to do the Gibb River road this time but look forward to coming back. Stopped to talk we others, preparing the vehicle and it was then a quick find.
Thanks Bushies2 for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Just turned onto the mighty Gibb. It’s going to be great. No pen so took a photo of log. Thanks
The journey continues west with ilook4geo and this was an easy find for the day. It was a day of quite a lot of travel time with just the caches along the route to be found. The log here was signed with two more names before being replaced as found. Thanks go to Bushies2 for placing this cache.
1st cache for the day entries to El quastro, Emma gorge and the Grotto... very excited being on such a exciting road. Tftc

Find 17 of 17 with 1 DNF on an action packed day, with a whirlwind tour of Kununurra and then out to Emma Gorge for a fabulous walk/swim/meal and return under the stars.
On our way back in the pitch black we stopped here for a quick find. We were well outnumbered by the insect life.
TFTC Bushies2!

End of Gibb River Rd part of our 26 day adventure ride. Now onwards north. TFTC.
I didn't do Gibb river road but stopped for a cache. Maybe one day I do the Gibb river adventure, tftc!
Fantastic trip: Broome to Kununurra by campervan. Not suited for the GRR this time of year.
Many thanks for sending me down the road to find at least one cache.

The allure of taking my soft AWD through the Pentecost River was strong, so we hit the Gibb. It made it!!!

On our way to Wyndham. We can now say that we have driven on the Gibb River Rd.....well sort of! TFTC bushies2 we put in a new log as the old one was full. We have it if the CO would like it back.
After a good walk this morning through Mirima National Park we headed off to Wyndham to complete the caches there and have a look around town. Sadly the town seems to be dying a slow death with many things shut down and boarded up. We enjoyed seeing the Dreamtime statues at Warriu Park which were very lifelike, the history of the residency and probably the most spectacular the five rivers lookout. A beautiful arvo to be out and about albeit a bit hot.
Had three weeks holiday so decided on a massive road trip to the most northern part of the state - the Kimberley. An area we have never explored, but had always been on the to do list. We travelled through the towns of Mount Magnet, Newman, Port Hedland, Broome, Halls Creek, Kununurra, back to Broome, Karratha, Exmouth, Denham, Geraldton and back home to Perth. It certainly was a very quick trip for the distance covered, over 8,000 kilometres in total, we saw a lot in such a short space of time, but barely scratched the surface of what’s out in these parts.
We would like to thank the individual COs for hiding the caches throughout these parts, from the towns to the highways and byways. Thank you for choosing to share these locations with us and we appreciate the effort you have gone to. Thanks for the fun.

On the way from Darwin to Perth, the caches were a welcome stop.
Some could be found quickly, others I searched longer.
Thanks for hiding.

Found at 12:30pm after spending the night at the well appointed Wyndam Caravan Park, and an hour at Marlgu Billabong watching the amazing array of birds and big crocodiles. Heading off down to the Gibb River Road to El Questro, we may not continue past have heard many tales of woe, a worry free holiday might be the best choice! SL TFTC in this notable spot
We were looking in the wrong spot for a while but went further afield to find it. This is the start of our Gibb River journey - can’t wait for the adventure to begin. TFTC!
Hello from England! Woo hoo, we were finally ready to tackle the infamous Gibb River Road...this cache had a strong magnet!! Shame the area is so littered 
, could do with a good CITO... TFTC [10332]

Touring from Tasmania and just finished our drive along the Gibb River Road. Rough and dusty but amazing beauty to visit along the way. Such a great journey. Tftc
