The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Just reviewing some of our older DNF's and despite an anomalous "found it" it looks like this one is missing. Could the CO please check the status of the cache.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Cache is gone

Found the spot no cache

DNF we believe we found the hiding spot but it was empty

Dnf

like the previous log had said there is still campers in the area so we didn't even start looking for this one.

This is the first time in over 2 years of geocaching that I can honestly say that I didn't want to look for a cache because I felt unsafe. We had stumbled upon some ?illegal campers and there was just so much rubbish and toilet paper lying around. We tried to sneak around the campsite to look for the cache but it appeared that GZ was just too close to their campfire (I suspect also illegal) that we just gave up, tried not to make eye contact and bolted out of the place. Probably won't ever bother again looking for this one.

Found it with a few mossy rocks

Travelling around Australia and now in Tasmania!

Today we headed across the Tamar River to visit Hillwood. What a lovely spot.

No Eggs today! But found a cache.

Sunday afternoon cache drive in the Hillwood area. Quick find. Nice area.
The TB geocoin that's supposed to be in the cache is long gone, do wish people would log them once taken.

First time I have visited this spot and was most suitably impressed. Many campers and day trippers about, however, none too interested in what I was up to. The cache on the egg beckons, may have to get the kayak out of the shed.. thanks..!!

A couple of interstate campervans nearby gave us no problem as we admired the view of the Egg. Accurate coordinates = quick find = happy cachers. Tempted by the nearby T4.5 but forgot the water wings. [Blue]Find # 1887. Thanks for the cache flange_1&tribe TNLN.[/Blue]

We met some muggle friends at the entrance by chance and went in together. Bumped into a big group of campers from Western Australia that we had seen a couple of days ago at Lagoon Bay. Luckily they were not in sight of the cache. A quick find while we explained to our interested friends what it was all about. The kids went diwn y o the water for a play and a splash. TFTC

Great quick find! TFTC

Nice easy find. But I wish I had bought a jumper. TFTC.

I really like the medal inside. TFTC

Nice walk to the cache! TFTC

Nice walk to the cache! TFTC

After finding Batman's Breakfast, I headed over here to find this cache. A muggle was sitting on the rocks nearby, it took a bit of searching but I then found it. Just as we were about to leave she left. Took stamp left TB. TFTC find #179
1 TB dropped
4 TBs visited.

Pretty easy, thanks

Stopped for lunch with a view. We had to fill in a bit of time before we could visit more vineyards. What better way to spend time than geocache. t4tc

TFTC nice view!

Good find with katiemac

TFTC

Had a brief chat to a camper relaxing on holiday. Went for a wander and quickly grabbed the cache and signed the log. Wonderful spot. TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad Carer Lis Brown en route from Bundaberg Qld to Perth WA via all of Tasmania.

Camper set up near by, found it easy

Great spot good hide TFTC

All this talk about food is making us hungry. View is amazing. Think mum is going to retire here. Dad would love the fishing. Quick find. TFTC

Lot of bugs. Good hiding spot, pen not working

Almost eaten alive by the bugs!!

Pen is out of action however. As a result of blood being drawn, the log was replaced but wasn't signed due to the desired quick dash back to the car!
TFTC however. Found with FAMI1

Tftc great view

Nice place

Need new pen

What a beautiful spot. Very serene today. And to quote Monty Python, that is an ex-tree! TFTC

Found with proxy-babe. Left smiley

Nice little spot, never been here before. I'll have to bring the kayak next time. TFTC.

We found it

This was an easy find in dark tonight, but I gave Batman's Breakfast a miss - too cold to get my feet (or more!) wet ... TFTC

Has some swaps

Stayed here overnight thanks to the information from a tourist information
TFTC

Great place for a walk on a lovely May afternoon

Nice little spot on the river TSLS TFTC

#101 - 13:40; Doing a quiet recon run and found this was within spitting distance of where we were turning around, so made a quick grab. TFTC

Great views of the river. TFTC

Day 7 of our escape from the NT trip, seeking some relief from the tropical build up

We thought that this looked like a nice tight little cluster of caches we could grab quickly. Not quite so tight as we thought though with that bridge out.

Hi flange 1&tribe

Today was the second day of a two caching expedition with Budgietas and Cheesy Pigs. Yesterday was fine and just what you want for caching. However, today we woke only to find the weather conditions totally the opposit of yesterday - pouring with rain. Not good for caching and not even good for the ducks!
Yesterday, I left Huonville at 0700hrs, met up with the two other finders and left for Launceston about 0900hrs. Today, left Western Junction round 0645hrs and went for breakfast at Maccas. Cached all day and got back to Huonville on the first of November at 2340hrs. A great trip and I extend my thanks to Budgie and Cheesy for making it a memorable couple of days. Thanks to CraigRat for organising the event on the 31st of October.

This cache was my 10th for the day:
This was a great hide. The views were very good here. The island just off shore is certainly different to the Egg Island I know at Franklin. Thank you!
The weather is now being kinder to us than it was earlier this morning.
The cache was found, the log signed and container returned to its hide at 0908hrs.
From here it was off to find "Batman Ahead."

Day two had me find fifty-one caches, yesterdays caching produced fourty-one finds for me, total of 92 for the entire trip. I got a personal best for finds in a day again today and I think Cheesy set new one again today too.

Thanks for the cache
Cheers OldSaint.

Thanks for the cache and by the way good to see you guys out and about again

What an amazing place - will definately be back here.

Just about to finish our Tasmanian holiday and decided to spend these days in Launceston gathering a few caches. Found quickly after using our geosenses.
Took tb.
TFTC

Returned in daylight this time for another attempt.
Things have changed since our visit last week. GZ looks like a herd of elephants has been through it. I see there's no DNF logged but someone has been looking hard for this cache.
The trampling made this a quick find for us, no vegetation to hide anything and good co-ordinates!
We left the Catch and Release-Bass TB, took a ball and left a lion.

Had a go at this one in the dark last night whilst grabbing a nearby GCA frog. Found a rock in the right place but all it had under it was a tea bag! All the other rocks appeared to be part of the scenery.
This wasn't a planned trip so we had flat batteries in the torch, and the GPS, which didn't help the search, however a quick hunt was made in the vicinity before the torch expired, leaving us finding our way back to the car in the dark.
Obviously another visit required, in daylight next time!

A quick grab from a nice place, SL, TNLN, TFTC

Beautiful spot and view. Easy find. Tftc

Yet another lovely spot along the Tamar

Lovely, peaceful spot. TFTC

Another nice hide beside the water. Enjoyed checking out all the nice properties on the way to the cache. TFTC [^]

Found without drama. Definitely going to have a crack at the nearby island cache with the kayak in the near future. TNLN. Thanks for organising the cache.

Found at 1.25pm Drove really close and walked to the hide. A little hunting required but Mrs80 spotted it and Mr retrieved. TFTC

I had forgotten how windy it can be out here. No island trip today!

great find on a realy windy day was going to try for the island but the weather was no good

Whats with all the oysters ? can't they be eaten or is it illegal to take ??
Beautiful area - tftc

While using the Batman Bridge camp as a base to leave the caravan this was one of the caches we were able to do. A lovely and scenic area, Brucie found the cache and then looked longingly at the next closest one (on the island). Not possible today. thanks FLANGE_1&TRIBE

Elcato found 26/2/12

Quick find, thanks for the hide.

Easy find, TFTC. Took fish left ball

TFTC

TFTC nice spot for a cache..

tftc found with afroboy and bear

Luckily the area was deserted today which led to a quick find. TFTC.

Will have to have another go when the fishermuggles aren't so busy. Today is a public hol so that's probably the reason. Grass very long and dry, hot day and a bit afraid of slithering reptiles.

Today's caching adventure took me on these most scenic drives, firstly north along the east coast, then south down the west coast of the Tamar. What a lovely drive, beautiful day, beautiful scenery, gardens in full bloom, a wonderful afternoon - and no DNFs!
Another picturesque spot with yet a different outlook to the Tamar. Lovely views across to the island - will have to get over there one day with a suitable craft to get the cache on it! There were a few vacant cars and 2 fishermuggles some distance away so was able to search undetected.
Thanks for the hunt flange 1&tribe.

Finally found it. Lol. 10-15 minutes of searching and the mrs found it. Nice hint mate. 100 trees and 10000 rocks. Haha. Tnln. Sl. Tftc

The twelfth of fourteen today. Some dodgy weather but some great scenery. TFTC

Another great spot along the river that have not been to before. TFTC. TNLN.

Quick find. Took nothing, left marble.

Lovely views across the misty water on a still winter's morning. Shame we had no fishing gear!
TFTC

Nice spot pity about the rubbish need to buy a boat to get the cache on the island
G1

Quick find a nice picnic spot, my daughter has free camped here several times. TNLN. TFTC.

As easy find for Mrs Twin, while the boys kayaked out to Egg Island to do their bit. TFTC

Out on our Sunday drive, Nowhere2Bseen set off to find this one while I waited in the GeoUte with Nowhere Jnr who was very much in the land of nod. 1 set of muggles wandered past... oh no I thought, where is he?? Then another set wandered past, and the next thing I knew Nowhere2Bseen was on his way back, grinning happily, a little black box in his hand . We signed the log while another set of muggles wandered past (busy area!), and off Nowhere2Bseen went to place it carefully back. TFTC.

A quick look around and I found some rocks... Found the cache and returned to MissyLJ waiting in the car with a very asleep Jnr Nowhere. We signed the log and went through the bits in the cache and then I returned the cache back to its hiding spot, just in time too... A couple and their furry companion happened along near GZ.
Nice spot... TFTC

Nice area. TFTC.

Drove in while someone was driving out. The smell of a very recent fire still lingered in the ashes of a put-out fire. Found quickly. No Cleaner uppers now.

Beautiful spot, few minutes to find cache. Tftc. Tnln.

There were a few 'Clean-up Australia Day' muggles around and hoping they made it to this area....way too much rubbish for us to take away. The tree near the cache has also been attacked, probably for fire wood. SL TNLN TFTC

[font=Comic Sans MS][green]Nice view on the way north

What a lovely spot to come to quick find, Left sticker of dragons for some girl to put on her shoulder.

Arived on day that the local community was having it's River Festival, after wending my way through the pink dragon ladies located cache quit easily. Left a Simson and moved Geocoin on.
