Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Xinders, requesting additional time.An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.BalayangCommunity Reviewer -Australia
###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.
Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.
Alternatively:
* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.
In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by Xinders and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

My GPS was not doing too well but it seemed to be pointing me into the water. Maybe the water level is over the cache, or maybe it's under the fallen tree that was blocking my way the other way
An easy find with good coords but unfortunately the log roll was solid and unable to sign. Photo log to CO.
Wasn’t even possible to get it -_- too much water. Don’t waste your time looking for this one
Spent a good while searching today but to no avail.
Water’s higher than I’ve ever seen it and there’s been some wild weather lately... might need a checkup by owner?
Still a nice location though

Lots of fallen wet leaves and bark so didn’t spend a huge amount of time searching,but not in any obvious tree spots
Couldn’t find it, may be due to lots of bad weather recently. Beautiful spot though!
Found! The find took about 15 minutes with the jumping GPS. The retrieval took about the same. About 2 million ants! It is a confirmed ant nest. Signed log and put back a little less inside the ants nest. TFTC
Found it but couldn’t sign as it was swarming with ants, didn’t want to risk getting bitten. TFTC and a nice walk through the park!
Found it but couldn't sign as it is now an actual ant nest...eggs etc inside the tin. Maintenance required, sorry
Found it! Well hidden Log papers in plastic lock bag needs new pages as damp.
Found it! Couldn’t sign didn’t have a pen. Great hiding spot! Lots of ants on tree.
Out for some caching today practising our social distancing and frequent hand sanitising. Actually my hands have seen more alcohol lately than my stomach!

Found !! Was in a black little tin btw not mint but was painted over the mint to black (without giving it away)
Headed to the area before a work dinner tonight, after finding the cache I realised I’d left the pen in the car so had to run back and get it before adding my name to the log.
Thanks KatO'9eyes (and looked after by Xinders) for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1621 for me.

Find 11 of 22 with 3 DNFs on a pleasant, sunny bike ride south of the river.
Parked bikes up, stomped into bush, stomped back out again then made the find. Flippin iphones.
Many thanks for the cache, Xinders

Found it night - very tricky. Took a bit to get near GZ using an iPhone. Found covered in ants. TFTH
Quickly found it. Ant nest is still underneath, so shook ants off. Added more paper for log and new zip lock bag with pencil. Very nice park. TFTC!
Finding a few caches in the area, this was the next one we encountered... Made the short walk across the nice park to discover a pen lying on the ground which lead us to the cache 
The second one today!
TFTC KatO9eyes & Xinders
As previously reported the cache was overloaded with ants, but we luckily had the determination to beat them & add our names to the logbook!

Day 181 of our 366 day straight challenge.
Found the cache easily enough but as I attempted to get the cache out of its hiding spot it got swarmed by ants. Managed to get our name in the log and the log back in the container leaving it in situ. Log is full but I didn't have any spares on me to replace. Tftc

Geo son and I thought we’d give this a go on the way to another cache. Found it so quickly and off again. Never been to this park before. So shady, will be lovely to come back to in summer. Tftc
We definitely found the spot that matched the photos and descriptions, but nothing there
Found using previous logs. No need to wet your feet. Knee high to a.....
Replaced log book while back here.

TFTC. A lot of ant, cache not closed properly ants all through. Tip: it’s not the big tree, look lower. Coordinates sending us to tree lined path, but it’s by the river bank. Have fun, may need bug repellent in summer.
Sneaky little hide, woke up the tiny ants living within. Tree showing signs of splitting, precise hide spot precarious, at risk, so replaced container to more secure spot.
Local council workers mowing lawns. TFTC!

The old Garmin was "all over the place" here but luckily Spot looked in the correct location and came up with a "Smiley Face". Thanks for bringing us to this area KatO'9eyes and looking after it Xinders. All is good here.
Easy find this time, kept the feet dry.
Forgot my pencil but found the rainbow eraser in the cache. Will return at some stage to sign the log.

Muggles around the park but a quick find here. Did not sign any of our caches today as we were in a rush and none had writing stick in them. TFTC!
Hard because you kind of have to guess where the lake should be if you come in summer. MY FIRST FIND!!!!
Nice easy one on the way home from work, maybe not so easy, sometimes I think its just blind luck

Quick find however the lid was missing and the cache full of water. I emptied it out and luckily the log was dry. Might need a little TLC to ensure it is water proof. TFTC
Awesome find. miss 10 found it by accident. Bag is ripped we replaced it. Hope that's ok.
