Logs
Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.
Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).
If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###
----------
I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**
Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.
If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by **28th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:
- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.
- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 28th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache on the basis that it has been abandoned.
Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Needs Maintenance. I have visited several times over the past couple of months and have had no luck. Can the CO please check and see if it still there or archive it.
Had another search now the fencing is gone but still no luck. Checked under and behind and in all the obvious places.
Sorry TheWobblys, will spend a bit more time looking next time I am in the area.
Hasn't been found since mid 2016 and I logged a needs maintenance last month and no reply from the CO, is it time to archive?
Quick find with my mirror. Container may need replacing as the lid falls of and the log is squished bits of paper and no ziplock bag.
Was afraid of spiders, front camera trick did the job after half an hour
A visit to the Cain Street walkway today brought Opa-Shrek and I to the area, and once that was done and dusted we were free to head over here to this nearby one - it would have seemed silly to leave it, right?
My GPSr wanted me at the playground fence, and as a mum, and underserved by playgrounds, I happily followed its directional call and commenced hunting there... Opa-Shrek on the other hand, a little more wary of playgrounds than I, chose to look elsewhere. He came up trumps this time.
Thanks for the find thewobblys.

Headed up the M1 with Mumma-Kel to do some caches around the Lake Macquarie area today, and after completing a nearby series down near the beach, we decided we might as well knock over all of Redhead. Which brought us to this park with its interesting historical structure. The GPS on both our phones were adamant that GZ was in/adjacent to the kid's playground (which fortunately was vacant), but while Kel concentrated her search there, I looked elsewhere ... and made the find. Thanks for bringing me to this interesting location Wobblys, and for the smiley.
Took us about 20 minutes. Good location, playground was fun for a 24 year old
Found using my iphone on forward-camera..... 
Good to see some owner maintenance on such an old cache. The lid has come adrift though. TFTC
Good to see some owner maintenance on such an old cache. The lid has come adrift though. TFTCReturned to cache gz helping out some new cachers. Cache seems to be missing. Certainly not where we located it a month or so ago
Found it on the second visit with Deheaps. Had to look a bit further afield. Good hide. We replaced the plastic bag. TFTC
Interesting place to come. The plastic protection for the log is torn, and log is damp.
Just as we arrived some girls grabbed it and rode off. Might need to reassess.
Me and my family went look but were unsuccessful, this was or first but,we are moving on to look for another
after a quick search and almost walking straight into a spider web with a really creepy spider in it, soon had cache in hand. SL. TFTC.
Phone had me looking to the west but snaffled it as I expanded my search. TNLN TFTC
6727 Out today for a bike ride and to explore more of Newcastle. What a great track. Geez there were muggles everywhere enjoying it too. Found 31 sorry about the copy paste.
Alittle break from being on the track. Knew where to look for this one after reading the hint. Started at one end and when I got to the other end I felt it TFTC

Tftc!
Took a while to find this one. Its lower than i first thought. Sneaky sneaky.
Got it on halloween, at least 30 treat or treaters around and still managed to get the find

TFTC!! This was a hard one!! Heaps of halloween kiddies out & about but none of them were looking at us. Too busy eating candy haha. Took a while to find. we were searching in the wrong spots. About 20 mins later we finally found it!! Loved how sneaky it was =)
This would be about my third attempt at this cache and finally found it. This time I used a mirror to see around those tricky corners. Also the co-ordinates are a bit out by my GPSr.
Had lunch then went for another look this time we found it just where the hint says
