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.

Solved the puzzle, couldn't find the cache. TFTH.
 
10-Apr-16
Came for a look tonight. Looking east of 3 rocks behind the pole. Looks like someone's done some fly tipping-even found an old TV. Probably a bit hard for night time. I do note that there has been some earth work since the last find. Maybe one for day time.

Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today. Hasnt been found for a while we noticed.

Hope we had the right GZ, but seems to make sense with the hint. [xx(]

Thanks anyway Cheesy pigs

Cache zombified.
For some reason this one has just sat there on my lists so today I gathered the information needed only to discover that I have been driving past regularly! Today I stopped 8m from the cache and grabbed it. No creepy crawlies today (Not that that would have worried a ZombieCat!). Cache in good order.

Homework to workout for solves as success got it... stop to found and sign the log then on way to friends for grand final day. .. GO HAWKS. ...

Homework before come to Tassie - nice hide spot... Signed the log. Thanks Cheesy Pigs.

On way from the Montrose Trail when Lady Membsec calls with a solution to this one. It is on the way home so why not grab it? Pulled over to find myself 8 mts form the cache. Quick find. Apart from a few bugs on the outside of the cache all is in order.

Solved this puzzle in February but haven't been able to grab the cache until today. We were driving when Knight #4 quickly told the driver to pull over as he remembered about it. Once out he made the quick find. TFTC.

We have just started doing unknown caches and this was a nice easy one to 'research'. Gosh, critters love this hide, several skinks went scurrying as fast as they could, I'm sure they were feasting on the slugs attached to the container. Previous logs had warned about the grubs so we came equipped with gloves!
Very busy area for traffic but quick and easy to find. Thanks for the cache.

Second go lucky slightly difficult but easy find with clues TFTC TNLN great day for caching

Had found the info a while back, and have driven past this one a few times, never really sure where the best place to stop was. Finally had a chance to stop and grab it today, although my ears are still ringing because EzziBell screamed when she opened it and several bugs ran out. TFTC.
 
I must have driven passed this one a few dozen times now, having solved it a long time ago it felt good to pull over and after a short search have the cache in hand.

Its nice when you find that your answer was right and a good job since I cant remember what I did now.

Thanks for the cache.

#20 of 31 days! Worked out this one last week... Today had a chance to grab it!! Was a bit worried about potential creepy crawlies.... But just 2 slaters jumped out at me as I opened the cache... TFTC
 
19-Aug-13
Enjoyed this puzzle. We love our music and even though the Bear can't sing for nuts, he still was belting out the words in true Peter Garrett style. He probably dances as well as Garrett too. A nice easy drive by after pick the cub up from school. TFTC.
 
18-Aug-13
Worked out a most of these puzzles the other night. We thought a quick driveby was in order. GPS was a but 'drunk' but the clue helped us find our way. Miss J found it but refused to pick it up as it was covered in slaters. We cleaned the container up so she was happy to replace. TFTC (and puzzle)

This was the second of the Midnight Oils series we've knocked off. As a bit of an Oils fan myself we've had all the coords salted away in GSAK for yonks, but getting to them is taking a few 44 gallon drums worth of midnight oil burning.

The contents of this one came as a bit of a surprise as the description was telling us no room for swaps. Not only were they present but a couple of geocoins to boot. Nabbed the TNLN TB which we'll move on to somewhere more remote - but maybe still aboriginal related - on the big island.
 
09-May-13
Enjoyed day today and little dull cloud, homework at home before fly off to here Hobart to visit my family, puzzle solves well and cache well thanks Smile Drop TB x2...
 
13-Jan-13
After reading previous logs about critters, I carefully tipped the rock over with my toe and then bumped the huntsman spider off the cache. Lots of traffic so ducked back into the car to open cache and log it. Put it back safely. Just a note to those scared of spiders, it's not there now. We go down the road a bit and the spider came running up my trouser leg so I trapped him under the gps until we pulled over to let him free.
 
18-Dec-12
Just picking up the cache and my hand was covered in ants. Other than that an easy find on a busy piece of road, TFTC.
 
28-Sep-12
I worked the puzzle out sometime ago. A quick puck up on the way home from work. Tftc!
 
21-Aug-12
Second time I have solved this one. I worked it out in my early days caching but found it a bit out of my way at the time. This time I decided to get it and was surprised to find cache guarded by a lizard and an army of bugs.
 
06-Jun-12
This is one of not many unknown caches found. Thanks Cheesy pigs.
 
21-May-12
Yet another cache that I had solved the puzzle for a long time ago, but has taken me a long time to finally visit GZ and sign the log.
 
25-Mar-12
Had other things to do today, so not a caching day. We could not go without at least one though, so happy to work this one out and grab it on the way home for dinner. TFTC!
 
20-Jan-12
This cache was found as part of a big day of caching the Hobart area with lots of caches found and many interesting sites seen and visited.

No trouble working the puzzle as this is one of my favourite bands.

A big thanks to my dedicated driver/navigator, who played hard ball and gave no hints and only got out of the car at the caches he hadn't found, and my little mate who came to most of the finds with me.

This was a second cache I have worked the same answer but could not find for looking. Today was a good day for hunting. A busy stretch here and dropped cache back in to not be seen placing it back.
JABs.
 
19-Jan-12
Worked this one out zonks ago. Nothing slow about us!! Took a marble & left a peg. TFTC
 
17-Jan-12
Not a big fan of the Oils, but I don't mind this song. Cache was a quick find this afternoon, which was good given the heat! Thanks Cheesy pigs for the cache.

Good to have been able to complete this one thanks Cheesy pigs
 
20-Aug-11
Quick find, but hard to replace as lots of cars, had to wait for break in the traffic both ways to return cache to GZ. TFTC. TNLN.

Nice quick find but dodging muggles in cars trying to look somewhat inconspicuous. Where is the geo boy to pretend to need to spend a penny when you need him?!

Tftc and puzzle (solved a little while ago)

We had solved this puzzle before leaving Perth. One of several caches found in the area today. Careful of the barbed wire as you approach gz - I got caught up in it.
 
29-Dec-10
Found with ease after working out the coordinates.

This is one of my favourite Midnight Oil songs and one of only a few I know the words to! Well, some of them anyway. It was only once I found the cache and had a chat to Swampy that I saw all the pieced fit together, nicely done! I like when a puzzle related to the location. The barbed wire almost caught me too!

Cheers!

765 - This one was on the must do list whilst we are on holidays down here as I did the research back home before we traveled down here to make the correct GZ. Made the find this afternoon at 5:55pm. Thanks for the entertaining series Cheesy pigs.
 
Really easy find once the coordinates were worked out.

Actually, we forgot we had solved this months ago. We just happened to notice a marker on the GPSr while we were in the area.
TNLN, kicked away part of a dead furry animal near the cache.
Thanks CPs

#663 @ 9.40am on our Tassie Caching Adventure with DazzPete. This was the second in the series that we were able to solve prior to coming to the lovely Tassie & saw that we were close enough to turn back and grab this one. The Queen has been a fan of the Oils for many years.

Took: Frog

TFTC - a nice area to come a caching [^] pity we don't have time to do all the other puzzles solved whilst here

Thanks again to the geoQueen from skullracer1 for making the effort to solve a few puzzles here in Tasmania. In the end it was a quick P&G with the find to the Queen.

On the 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th year of geocaching we found this cache quite quickly with newbies Wanni21 and Fluffy Bunny. TNLN TFTC

Always liked The Oils.
Good song, no spiders on the cache!
 
16-Jul-10
I did the researched and found the co-ordinates a few weeks ago and got around to going for the find today. I got out of the car and looked around for some likely hiding places. Then I looked at my GPS and it said 0M to GZ. I looked down and there was the cache. How easy was that? Lots of traffic but I grabbed it during a break and signed the log. Thanks for the hunt.

It's always good to find these puzzle caches as we are never sure if we have worked them out properly. You southerners certainly have a lot more of this type of cache than we do up in the NW but I guess with practise they'll get a bit easier. The hint really helped. We attacked this cache in the dark and didn't realize we were on private property at first as the fence is laying on the ground. A quick rethink once we tripped over it and the cache was quickly found. Thanks.
 
25-Jun-10
We enjoyed completing the research for this cache and filled a few gaps in our knowledge. A quick find once at GZ. TFTC
 
17-Feb-10
Solved the series a while back, now slowly collecting the caches.
Easy find, though some stealth was required.
The spider on the container was u-u-ugly!
TFTC
 
04-Feb-10
Nearly back to Hobart, and we were forced to detour from the normal route, so took the opportunity to make this find. Didn't notice the spider...(it was getting duskish) (and I forgot to look). Thanks for the cache.
 
19-Jan-10
Tftc left a few small swaps and there is now a large dead spider under the cache
 
17-Jan-10
I had worked out these puzzles during my last trip but I think I will only gather them gradually at the rate of one a trip.
Went on a bit of a detour to find this one and once the GPS settled down it was a quick and easy find.
Thanks to Cheesy Pigs.

Hi Cheesy Got this one at 1128hrs in 38 drgrees of heat not 58. 2nd of seven today, taking the count to 335. Quick and easy. TFTC, HAPPY NEW YEAR and cheers OldSaint.
 
16-Dec-09
Found quickly on my way home. I had driven past this cache many times without realising it... time to catch up on the puzzle caches, methinks. I've wondered about a cache here for some time. I think this was an appropriate way of using the location.
 
12-Dec-09
This is probably my favourite Oils song, didn't need to google the lyrics.
Remember when they sang it at that big event, in those black tops covered in that word that guy wouldn't say. It was awesome.
Cache found after a bit of a poke around, fairly constant stream of cars so had to be stealthy. Luckily stealthy is my middle name.
Thanks CP
 
11-Dec-09
Bit of time to kill...had gps co-ord only so took a little rummaging without the hint....nice to come up with an unexpected find....TFTC..Cheers.
 
15-Nov-09
I still haven't decided if maybe I should leave easy terrain caches for when it's harder for me to get around due to geobub slowing me down. However as Lottie and I were passing anyway and our bushwalking weather was deteriorating, I went the grab. Nice easy find. . .and I guess there are worse songs to have stuck in your head!

Thank you for the cache.
 
15-Nov-09
Nice and easy find at 6.30pm. Thanks.
 
14-Nov-09
I saw this only this morning and I wondered about someone getting there before me. Then I started searching for Oils music on the net.
And just after I solved it, I noticed another new cache had been published (which I'd missed seeing when scanning through my emails) and started to look at solving that one.
Tummy rumblings saw me heading out the door so grabbed some food and off to the cache.
Took me a little while to find as I've not cached in nearly 2 weeks (OMG! I need to get out!)
Thanks Cheesy Pigs! *FTF*
 
14-Nov-09
Now Oils AIN'T Oils, but Midnight Oil have always been a favourite of Mr red tag's. We made this find on the way home from Eastlands this afternoon (OK so not the DIRECT way home ! )
Thanks, Cheesy pigs !
