Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Staying a few nights in Charters Towers this morning we visited the library to learn about the archives section to hopefully trace some family history here from the Pioneer days.

Lunch at the stock exchange cafe then off to explore some more of town.

Loving the history in this town. Log sheet was full so we replaced it.

In Charters for a couple of days for a car service. Thought we would grab some local caches. An easy find by the drive in. Brings back lots of memories. The log is full. Added some additional Log paper and signed that. The next finder will need to handle with care and may need a special tool to extract and refit the log.

Being part of the GC Pirate game and so far from home we were happy to come across a town that had a few caches in it. As multi's are worth more tokens in the game this week we decided to concentrate mainly on those so a nice early start was had and we saw lots of Charters Towers on our tour.

We were remember the highlights of our youth going to the drive in on one day of the weekend and not doing much the next day as we had spent all our money unless you could sneak some one in in the boot to help fund the exercise. Being broad daylight there wasn't much hassle with muggles tooing and froing from the drive in but there was still a fair bit of traffic using this road. We spotted the cache easily enough and had to plan our grab and replace to correspond with gaps in the traffic, at least we can say we have added our name to the log.

Thanks Cragged for the cache.

Found at 4:20 pm before checking into this lovely Big 4 camp park. Soon had the little fella in hand but alas the log is chockers. Managed to jam our initials in before the reroll but there are no more gaps. We're amazed to find there are still working Drive In Theatres around. Guess it's the hot weather up this way. TFTC

Found a very small spot in the log to scrawl our initials. It's amazing to see one of these sites still operating. I thought they'd all disappeared! TFTC

This was the last one on our trip to Charters Towers. Easy find, but that nano log sheet was just too hard for my fumbly fingers to sign. Thanks Cragged, and all the COs in Charters Towers for adding a little bit of geo-spice to our visit. Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.

On our trip trough Australia with the hole family we looked also for some caches. They often showed us places we would never had discovered. Thanks a lot to all the people who care about this lovely hobby Big Grin.

Oh what a pity. I always want to go to carcinema! We even arrived when the movie started but with our campervan, I dont think they would have let us in...
