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.

No luck here!

Recently mown and no sign

Ooohh !! Another toughie to find
I scrambled around for a while,
got poked by the prickles,
and left with a burning sensation to come back and try me luck again sometime

Looked everywhere

Hi there FrognChook.

We are camped in Forth, and plan to find geocaches all around the area in the next few days. We found your cache **"Fire Bug 2"** at 9:43:00 AM today. (This brings our total find count to 18479).

We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey & found 7 caches (& DNF'd 1).

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.
###Thanks for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. Once upon a time caches seemed to be "regular" sized,and well stocked with goodies for kids to swap. Nowadays it seems like every other cache is small and devoid anything to induce children to enjoy the hunt. It made us feel really good to find this cache in a "special" place.###

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 5m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Back home after being in Tassie for a holiday, now the daunting task of logging all our finds, sorting through the scraps of paper with notes on them.
Had a few days of sunshine, a lot of days of rain, ended up with just over 105 finds all up on this trip, and visited many tourist spots in the north of Tassie.
last day in Tassie....
found this cache in good order
no muggles about. Quick find.

thanks to frognchook for this cache

Tftc - last time we searched this location quite extensively and couldn't find it - came back here today and it wasn't hidden at all, it was literally sitting on the rocks! I think someone may have taken it and put it back? We have hidden it in the spot we found it but covered it so it's not so obvious!

A nice easy find just as I am circling around to head for home.. thanks..!!

Out and about with Posswamy today, 5 out of 5 so far!!! Cache in good condition ( especially in this weather) but the container itself has lost all of its cammo colours. TFTC

Good hint

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! Our journey started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island, before heading to Melbourne via Goolwa, Strathalbyn, Coorong, Mount Gambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell, Cape Otway and Lorne, cramming in as much as possible on route. We are now here in Tasmania on the second leg of our journey. We then head back to Melbourne before setting off to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. After a visit to Sydney we will travel on to the Gold Coast, then after spending a few days in the nearby mountainous birding hotspots, followed by an overnight trip to Fraser Island, we will fly from Brisbane to Cairns, visiting yet more good birding sites. We will then drive up to Cape Tribulation before heading back south again to Port Douglas and a day out on the Great Barrier Reef. We then return to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs, where we will hire a 4x4 camper and set off for a week on the circuit to and from Kings Canyon and Ayers Rock. We then fly to Darwin from where we will spend the last two weeks of our holiday making our way to Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!

A nice quick find at Ground Zero on our way back to Devonport after a fabulous 9 days in Western Tasmania. Thanks so much for the cache.

Easy find on a miserable day TFTC

Not sure about the "difficult terrain" or the "cevpxyrf" for that matter. Area looks like it's had a bit of a tidy up but cache is still OK. TFTC FrognChook.

Nice easy one to find

A quick found on our tour on Tasmania. TFTC and greetings from Switzerland.

Today was day 43 of our trip out of Sydney to visit the southern states of Victoria and Tasmania and day 1 of the Tasmanian part as we arrived in Devonport this morning on the Spirit of Tasmania.

As we were staying nearby we definitely wanted to find a couple of local caches. This one was a very quick and easy find and after the log had been signed the cache was replaced as found. Thank you for placing this cache for us and others to find in such a beautiful area.

MrGT being a retired FF we had to do this one TFTC

Quick find on a good morning for caching TFTC

We're now two thirds through 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!

Nice drink down the road. Thanks

Road Tripping! Too smoky for me

Very nice. Beautiful town

Travelling around Australia, from our home in WA, today was our first day in Tasmania! Woot!

We arrived on the Spirit this morning and would you believe the first people we met in Tassie were the 2y's Tassies! Wow!

After some quick shopping in Devonport we moved on to Forth.

Was well after lunch when we decided to head out to find a cache or 2 to continue our geostreak and be the first find (smilie) for us in the Apple Isle.

And wow did you turn on the weather or what,a perfect Winters day just beautiful to welcome us 'Down Under'

Last one for the day before we went and enjoyed a wine in the sun at the local pub.


TFTC FrognChook

My first find in Tasmania. I have the Tasmanian souvenir now, so I can go home. Hee, hee, only joking, lots of sightseeing and caching to do. I dropped off the TB 'GoneWithTheWind11 - Padlock'. TFTC.

Find during my roadtrip in Tasmania, many hiking through national parks, and also caches roadsides.
Thank you to all cachers in the area

Greetings from France

No one around meant we were able to make a quick easy find. A nice easy location too! TFTC.
