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.

The leaning tree was easy to find
Alas the cache was not !!

Beaut view from the seats though

Had a good look around but didn’t find it.

Caution. Black berry vines.

Interesting spot, but not what you'd call dry. Cache & log wet, photo attached. TFTC

Found unable to log

May the way of the Hero lead to the cache!

I cache your reality and substitute my own! TFTC.

You need to have a view from the river for this one

Had to get a slightly different perspective to find this cache but a " lower" view helped. TFTC!

Second attempt at this one, GPS wandering around a bit, but used the hint and found the right tree this time .

Travelling around Australia and now in Tasmania!

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

This was a beautiful spot thanks for sharing it with us. Mrs Felix made the find as Mr Felix was having no luck on
his first perusal. [^]

No luck with this one today.. DNF
Found the leaning tree and possibly hide spot, but no cache anywhere to be seen.
Will try again another day.

Great hide, another one off the DNF list

Ran out of time, and weather turned bad. Will call back

Lovely spot great cache

Wow this is an awesome little hideaway. Tftc

found it.

Glorious sunshine for day one of a three day geocaching trip to the beautiful Tamar Valley.
We enjoyed visiting this picturesque area very much. Thanks for the cache and for placing it here.

A most challenging hunt, so many candidates befitting of the hint.. thanks..!!

We used the handy parking spot to get within a few metres of this one. We then proceeded to spend rather longer than we'd anticipated (in the drizzle with umbrellas no less) as we managed to identify two hint related spots & the vegetation was, well, wet, drippy & yukky to poke about in! Still a lovely peaceful spot to admire the yachts at anchor - when we weren't looking for the cache that was. [Blue]Find # 1884. Thanks for the cache flange_1&tribe TNLN.[/Blue]

Sneaky sneaky!! Lol TFTC

DNF after finding Batman's Breakfast. Blackberries are absolutely everywhere! I'll find this one another time...

Found it after a little while, thanks

What a beautiful location for a cache! Loved the walk down to the shore and sadly took longer than I should have (obviously needed caffeine)

Sneaky cache, glad the tide was out

A quick grab while doing the caches in this area with katiemac88.

Missed the path on our first drive past but found it coming the other way. TFTC

Log was a little bit damp, not too surprising. Took a bit for the GPS to get us into place but soon had it in hand. TFTC

Log wet. Restocked goodies. Tftc

If only we lived here, a boat or two around, l can only dream, a beautiful area again. Gosh caching bring you to some lovely spots. This was made harder to find by us not thinking straight, we must be getting tired. Grabbed and signed and off again. Thanks for bringing us here.

Bit wet but log is dry

Easy find on a night of caching. Luckily, no blood was drawn!
TFTC on a beautiful night!

Found with FAMI1

Nearly ended up in the blackberries but used our geosenses and soon found the cache. Be careful on the slippery, slimy rocks! TFTC.

I managed to draw blood retrieving this cache! The cache was dry and in good condition. TFTC

Nice easy find thanks. A bit of a scratch around had the cache in hand. This trip to Tasmania going anticlockwise from Devonport is our third trip and the first in our motorhome. This is another cache, there will be many more, hopefully.

#1907 09:52:00 We are travelling Tassie. In between we tried to log some caches. This one was a quick and nice find.
Thanks for the hide and greetings from Bavaria [green]Sospetto & Sospetta[/green]

NEMESIS BE GONE
a hint from a previous finder made all the difference.
The GPS read 2 metres as I was about to leave so coords were fine it was just me
Thanks for the cache flange 1&tribe

It took some searching, as the GPS didn't want to settle down. I was sure that it would be near the big tree near the road that is surrounded by prickles, but we eventually found it much closer to the waterline.

Nice weather for geocaching today, being Recreation Day and all. Found with DaFiChNi Team TFTC

Amazing little grove with a view and oysters everywhere. Thanks again Flange for taking us out and about. What a great way to spend a recreation day holiday. TNLN TFTC.

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. Didn't want to fight with the blackberries.

TFTC

Had a look this morning. As the last log said, quite a few leaning trees. Also a lot of blackberries! There's been some fairly recent alterations to the scenery here due to the amount of water coming through GZ. We checked thoroughly where our GPS indicated GZ to be, and then had a quick circle out, but soon had enough of the blackberries.
Might try again another day and see if GZ has moved. TFTH

After a 5 min search, we had the cache in hand. Tftc

There were lots of leaning trees here bt after a few minutes the cache was in hand, SL, TNLN, TFTC

Rainy day made for a cool experience. Nice!!

found it @ approx. 14:30

after the GPSr settled, quite an easy find.
Looks like an awesome spot to launch a boat to Do a spot of fishing.

Another nice, easy find on our East Tamar caching day. TFTC flange 1&tribe [^]

Stopped - looked - GPS wouldn't settle - hint pointed to a mixture of ivy onion weed and blackberries - not for us.

Shockin' awful weather but a good find. thanks Flange.

nice place to do some fishing pitty it started to rain but good find

A terrific afternoon with the kids and our last stop of the day.

Found quickly.

Took a few photos while I was here.

Thanks.

A beautiful spot thanks guys

Elcato found 26/2/12

Visiting from the UK with my brother, enjoying our journey up the east side of the Tamar.Thanks for the hide.

Week 4 of a month's holiday in Tassie - Finally, i have time to do some caches before i go home! TFTC TNLN

A great little spot!

Nice quick little drive by, the boys ran into get this one on our way through this area.. TFTC

tftc found with afroboy and bear

Great views out over the water and a good hiding spot. TFTC.

A nice detour off main highway for this one. Lovely spot. SL TFTC.

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!
This was one of the lovely spots along the river. Couldn't get a decent GPS fix, so spent some time scratching about in the bushes here before finally finding the treasure, finding some prickles along the way as well. Thanks for the hunt flange 1&tribe.

Never been here before lovely spot, no wind today. TNLN. TFTC.

Found on my second attempt. TNLN SN. Great little spot. Word of caution, rocks there are very slippery.

Back again just to report that I logged this cache at 1605hrs.
Found it quickly and really enjoyed this quaint little spot.
Got some photos here, really appreciated. TFTC and cheers; OldSaint.

There were lots of leaning trees on our visit today, but after letting the GPS settle and systematic investigation we were able to find theright one.
TFTC

Found on day trip along the Tamar after a lovely lunch at Rosevears Tavern. TFTC

Easy find

We had tried for this about six months ago, but it eluded us. So today on the way to a couple of other East Tamar caches, we gave it another go. Still took a few minutes, but this time we came up trumps. TNLN. TFTC.

UncleTom returned - and this time he brought reinforcements! This time it didn't take very long before AuntyTom saw something that looked suspicious, and the cache was ours. TFTC

Two many leaning trees! Found after a short search. TNLN. TFTC.

Found it on our trip around Tassie.
TFTC

I searched for this one for about 5 or so minutes.... but alas, it was not mine to find. Back to the Geoute, and off Nowhere2Bseen went to have a look. Lucky for me, the cache ended up in his hands. We signed the log, then headed on our way TFTC

Down by the river sits a little cache. I disturbed a little creature under a rock, he got quite crabby and then scuttled off sideways. It took a while to find GZ but when I found it it just jumped out at me... Retrieved the cache and signed the logs and carefully placed it back again.
TFTC

Spent alot of time looking in the wrong places, eventually located it

Took a bit of searching. Hidden well. TFTC.

Took a second look in the same spot to find this one. SL TNLN TFTC

Beautiful area really enjoyed it easy find.

Great hide nice spot TNLN TFTC

Called in and checked this one today all is well at GZ

once a certain person finds this she will be kicking herself......The boss found it and she didn't see me hide it...lol

I noted that this one had not been found for a while but I was not deterred and after a short search and following the clue to letter your cache was discovered again.
It was none the worse for wear after lying low for so long.
TNLN
Thanks

Well after reading LandyClans log I felt even more pressure than ever to find this one! I searched and searched and once again I came away empty handed
I cracked under the pressure completely! I have no idea where this one is and Im to the point now where I think I have to have someone give me a 'red tag hint'...ie: either tell me where it is or lead me by the hand to it [8)]
HELP !!!

Took a bit of finding as the gps was all over the place but I eventually found it. Thanks

Lucky the tired was right.

Cache eventually found.
Lovely area
Many thanks

hahahahahaah, found it redtag. We laughed so much when we found this as we have read lots of redtag's logs and are huuuuuge fans, hahahahah. WE GOT IT.No Reb Bull either.
This is just another top location. We must be hooked good and proper as we were also working at the time. Thanks so much.

Our second for the day and what a lovely little spot to visit. Nice place to keep a floating toy as well, Thanks for bringing us here. NINO, SL TFTC

this is a tad embarrassing.... I think I was starting to fade a little
needed some red bull and maybe a helpful hint but at the time I didnt think to do get either!
next time maybe

Nice cache. My grandfather had a place a kayena just up the river which had a similar "beach" were I spent many hours while young. Anyway cache is in good condition, but the smell of the beach brings back memories.

Nice short walk down to the shore and an easy find. Cheers Gav [6170]

A nice bay. TFTC

Found this one eventually. Was looking in the scrub initially - at the right tree but to no avail. Decided seeing as the Cache name read the obvious thats where I should be and there it was. Obvious spot to a cacher when looking at it.

TFTC.

There were numerous leaning trees in this area but trust your GPS - it will lead you to the right one. A good hide. Took Geocache Coffee geocoin. TFTC
