Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Trimbletas, 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.

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Investigate the situation and either restore the cache, or address any other issues, such as correcting the D/T rating if necessary.
* 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 Trimbletas 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 there, and in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

The coords and clue seem very clear, so when I could not find it, I was surprised.
Spending a few days in the north of the state with RLD4963, whilst the GeoGSP's have a weekend away at a doggy resort. Given the very specific hint we were expecting a quick find, but no. We re-arranged a lot of mulch, but came up empty handed.
Out and about for our second day on the road in Tassie. We woke up to rain and fog, so put on the coat and decided if in caches were to be found today, I'd have to suck it up. Stopped off and made some great find in some nice areas, despite the weather.
Took off for a walk in the rain while hubby cooked his breakfast while staying in the camp nearby. Found the rock decoy and then expanded the search to make a easy find.
Thanks Trimbletas for placing the cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy the find.

I looked at the wrong name to start with but got it right in the end.
This weekends adventures was instigated by TazScout with a discussion/statement 'Day Walk' followed by a map of the area around Sheffield and Railton on the 8th of April, after we all talked to our significant others and arrangements made and diaries double and triple checked we had a sort of plan on the 15th and accommodation was booked for a busy weekend of walking between Sheffield and Railton collecting those caches along with any other GC or GCA we could find the time to grab as we were in the area.
Along with a wonderful walk we had time to catch up with friends and find some great caches, so a perfect use of our time, i think we all were better for a caching weekend and swear we wont leave it as long next time, thanks to all the CO's for making this trip possible.
Thanks for the cache.

Had a day out with Stainless Steel Rat and Goose & Egg. Decided we'd tackle the Railton/Sheffield run. Of course we picked the busiest weekend of the month with three events in the area one of which being cycling so we had plenty of company on the track.
We were fairly certain we'd found a cache here before, either way we signed the log just incase this was new or we forgot to log last time. TFTC

Could not find cache .. lovely lady stopped by and knew what I was doing and helped me out but still no find
Took a little expedition to Railton this morning to log a few traditionals and some multi's as well. We also wanted to investigate the new coffee roastery and cafe called "Gear" House of Grind. We can report that the coffee is excellent !
Like the previous cacher, we are in the dark as far as the whereabouts of this cache, even though we were looking in broad daylight. The hint is plain enough, but all possible locations were examined carefully with no result. Thanks for sending us here to the rail platform where my wife used to get off the train from Deloraine to stay with her aunt just up the road.

All good with this find..nice little park..enjoyed sitting on the seat filling in the log book..beautiful day..Tftc
Found the remains of the logbook lying out in the open with no sign of the container. I have it with me and will give it to you next time I see you.
Very tricky find, haven’t noticed it in all the times I’ve been to the park
Good hide thanks
Good hide thanks
Stopping overnight so it was a no-brainer that I should look for the nearby cache. A quick find thank you. The log sheet is a bit damp and will need replacing when possible.
After spending the morning in Latrobe we decided to take the more scenic road home. We enjoyed the topiary as we passed through Railton and managed a quick leg stretch and grab before heading off. SL TFTC Trimbletas
The last day of our Tassie motorhome tour, cut short due to Corona virus. Finding a few caches before we leave. TFTC
TFTC camping in this lovely little town, going to the Steam Fest tomorrow, touring Tassie for 6 weeks.
Suscoe headed out for a big day of caching today.
Great weather for caching.
We enjoyed the lovely countryside and the delightful villages as we went on our way.
Thanks to Trimbletas for this hide, a quick find for us and we enjoyed a snack in the park.

I was passing through and decided to stop off to grab this one. It was a nice quick find. TFTC.
Odd style of caching trip and run with code 1, not done this before with two cars and the partners in toe. Still was not long before a happy routine was established and away we went, chasing caches as we travelled the TT towards Dover.
We covered a fair way one day one staying at Liffey falls, followed by Jones river at Hamilton and then onto white, beach.
OK so we got a little side tracked.

Quick find with the hint
Today I decided to take mum for a trip to collect some caches around Railton and Sheffield. A total of 11 finds. A great day but way too hot for Tasmanian’s.
I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 5000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 70 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

Quick find as I was leaving town.
Chose to camp behind the local pub instead of the RV stopover , probably a better choice for vehicles that aren’t self contained.
TNLN , TFTC , Cheers.

Cache was exposed but I returned it to the place matching the hint. Cords were 10m off for me but hint is great.
Tasmania Trip Day 7 Today we headed out to Latrobe and Railton for some caching and some great scenary.
After an unsuccessful search in the bush we traveled to Railton to find a few Multi caches we began with this traditional in what was a wonderful location to stop at.
Thanks Trimbletas for placing this cache for us to find today.
