Unfortunately there was no response (or regular update) from the owner within the time requested and as per the original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).

###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. 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 any 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 Bessie's-Mob 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

Didn’t find

Tried all likely spots without luck. Looking at logs there are DNFs since early this year. Maybe time for CO to check that it exists at all.

Had a pretty good search around the “A-gave” plant, but couldn’t find it. Maybe another day.

DNF

Have had a couple of goes at this one and pleased to have finally made the find. TFTC

Found it, no froggies tho
TFTC

Awesome work. Great fun.

This weekend, I headed south to NSW to Lismore and Casino on Saturday, followed by Springbrook National Park on the Gold Coast on Sunday, meeting different geocaching groups on both days.

Today, I started finding a few geocaches in Lismore before joining Beardman75 and georode in travelling to Casino. Our focus today was the *Ferg Loves Puzzles* series, and we managed to find a few others in and around the township of Casino, before departing around 15:00 hr back to Lismore. I then took the solo journey to stay the night at Robina, travelling via Goolmangar, Coffee Camp, Nimbin, Blue Knob, Mount Burrell, Uki, and Murwillumbah. A long day out and about!

No luck for us today, and we were obviously missing a clue. We searched the obvious structure, and then expanded our look to inside the garden. We understand one of the clues, but then again, another log noted to not look into the garden? After 10 minutes of searching and still confused, we left with a frown. Thanks anyway Bessie's-Mob for the cache placement.

No luck for us today. Followed the hint but were empty handed...

no luck for me today.
had a look but it was a little lite on as the council workers were watching my actions.

One of the reasons I enjoy geocaching is that I learn new things. With the hint I got to learn some more botany; which was much needed as my gps was jumping around heaps. TFTC!

Hint and previous logs be noted. You do not need to rummage in the gardens. A tad overgrown but cache is still tucked away. Mind you don't disturb the cute tree frog. TFTC

Not sure who challenged whom, or if it was a matter of pride to find this cache over other Brisbane based caches that couldn't. Either way we ended up at the train station to search the gardens. Took some heart that you didn't have to enter the gardens to find the cache, even the short armed ones in our group of five.

A methodical search came up with an empty soft drink can, a cute green tree frog that appeared to enjoy the attention and finally the cache it its lair. The clue is good and previous logs are correct, you don't need to enter the gardens. Thanks Bessie's-Mob for showing us the train station.

Group effort to locate this cache. My contribution was mainly standing back and pointing where others should look... TFTC!

A fun cache we found over the weekend trip away with friends to save space we signed as The 5. Which consisted of myself JACS Team, Gcoven, TeamARF, EatSleepCacheRepeat and Ardom.

Seems we had an extra set of eyes helping us look - a cute little tree frog.

We got a bit psyched out by the DNFs and thought we wouldn’t find this, but sure enough it was Batman (TeamARF) who made the find in the end! We also found the cutest little tree tree frogs amount the agaves

Well, Bessie's Mob: I must say this blue frowny face has bothered me on this map since our DNF way back in March, 2013. That's a long time ago. We didn't find the cache then even though we weeded the whole garden looking for it. At least our searching got rid of the weeds and improved the look of the garden. We are SO GLAD to say the cache was found today just where we've looked many times before. Just a different approach and there it was. So happy we could sign the log and change that frown upside down and from blue to yellow. Woohoo!!
Cheers and happy caching!

Beadling around the backblocks of Casino with Liz and Bruce, and Aussie Laihona A couple of social gatherings and caching made for a fun filled day.

Not a quick find but the cache is here, and it’s all good No need to disturb plants or enter the garden. Looks like previous cachers have been a bit rough.

Just because you can’t find it doesn’t mean it’s missing

TFTC Bessie’s Mob

We had advice from PAFs as to what and where, including a good search in and under all possibles. Nada. Reckon it needs a checkup.

Couldn't find this one, despite a really good look around.

We searched in the heat for 30 minutes and then after making a couple of PAF calls tried again but still could not locate the cache.

Out geocaching today with Wandering Me.she has eyes in back of her head. Another great find. Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment Bessie's-Mob

Second time around but no joy

After a hint from fellow geo able to sign and have smiley

TFTC

Not what i was looking for.. But thanks geo-kids

Took a little while to locate, lucky for the hints!

I can't believe it I finally found it after 6 attempts Lucky I brought my son along

Good

Not Today

3 time no luck.

Reading the hint helps haha

Tried at night not sure if was this issue

Easy find, good clue.

It was very quiet here on a Sunday.
That made it an easy find.
TFTC

found it with tamagotcha and cup_cake_2001on a hot spring day. Second attempt here and happy to get the smiley.

Got me....2nd time round we tried again and hubby got it....yay. tftc

)

No luck for us here today

No find for us tonight.

Thanks for the cache. Was able to search on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Found with No_Tomorrow.
Cheers

Had a great day out geocaching with Wayn0 today collecting caches to finish the Mystery at the Museum game.

It was great to avenge this DNF.

TFTC

Spent a bit of time looking with no luck, might need a check. Thanks

??another D sorryNF

No joy today but this always another day

Quick in & out. TFTC

Found it

Not today. Started raining so I've abandoned the search.

TFTC! My 700th find! Wahoo! Second attempt at this one. Came here a little earlier and it was peak hour for buses! Came back now as a train was about to depart, so pretty much a gave a wave to the loco! What a pretty area!

TFTC
Nice and quick cache grab after work, thanks to the hint.
Cheers

Being a gardener certainly helped to understand the hint.
TFTC

Find it on my way to visit my geograndma

Having a stopover for an hour or so while heading down to Victoria from Brisbane......Tough one. Had a few looks. Daughter found it quite by accident. Tftc.

Pulling in here on the bus, i had an hour to kill, and thought i'd load up the app to see if anything was close, and what-do-you-know, fifty odd metres away there is one hid!
Poking around gz a good ten minutes saw me frustrated and empty handed. Went away for a rethink, and when i came back, i went straight to it. That was random.
Glad to get a smiley here in casino before motoring on.
Thanks bessie-mob for hiding a cache here for us transitors!
Find number 1348.

Finally found! Second time trying such a good clue!

Using the the old GPRs in preperation of getting our new one and using GSAK. Now to learn how to do the logs. Hopefully they will all come through. TFTC

Missedya - Looked and looked but could not locate it.

Another visit another DNF. Hopefully it is one of those caches that are just causing me cache blindness. Due to the hint, I believe I was near the right clue even though there is a number of them to wave to you. Oh well it means I have to come back for another visit to clean this one up.

Very cool cache. Loved the hint!

Found with Justjessie. TFTC .

Found with O319 on our way home from QLD. TFTC

No luck for us today.

There was no waving hands of joy for me today. I will have to come back another day

With the rising temperature we decided to base ourselves at the Casino RV Base (which is quite similar to where to live). This is a great base and we headed to town and out Kyogle way today. Lovely scenery and we do like the roads less travelled. This was one of the caches we targeted and found. Nicely done. Thankyou Bessie's-Mob for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area

Visiting this lovely district with geo friend and grabbing a few caches along the way. The good hint was very helpful so a nice quick find was made, thanks Bessie's-Mob and TFTC

TFTC

Caching time in northern NSW today.

Nice quick find today. Good hint. Glad the cache has been replaced since our previous visit.

Log signed and replaced at 3.05 pm on 14 October 2017. TFTC, Bessie's-Mob

Last visit here it was really busy
Today's visit was the opposite
And I could stand around,
next to the bike until I finally found this cache

The local magpie was sitting up in a nearby tree the whole time,
just waiting for me to turn me back,
so it could attack !!
Fortunately a couple of kids on skate boards distracted it so I could make me escape

TFTC

Thanks for the experience, the smilie, and for placing this cache **Bessie's-Mob**.
This trackable log can be discovered.

i love gardening

Just cruising today from Kyogle to Grafton and doing some caches along the way. This cache surprised us as it was found very quickly and somehow we were not expecting that. There was no train at the station today so we were quickly on our way again. Thanks Bessie's-Mob for this cache placement.

Found tonight with Monti103. Tftc.

Found it. Was a bit grown over but not impossible

Needs maintenance. The logs were full, so we put in paper from notebook

TFTC

TFTC GZ was a little more overgrown since i was last here with Smee1961 took a little while but eventually found it

Searched for a while on a Sunday arvo but no trace of this one

No luck for us today, maybe next time

So, so frustrated on this one. Pretty happy that I got the clue correct. Even with the GPSr swirling around, I spent about 40 minutes before the 08.20 train to Sydney came in - which I needed to catch. I searched everywhere I thought possible for a decent cache hide, especially with regards to the clue. Really lucky that I found a cache much much later that night to keep my daily streak going. Got quite a few scratches and pinpricks of blood from the search today.

Surprisingly quick find. Log is looking a bit weathered. TFTC

Found immediately today... don't know why I had so much trouble last time....?? TFTC

Well I am definitely loco after that!! Couldn't find it anywhere!! Oh well, will try another time.

Sadly, we drew a blank with this one. Will keep it on a watch list to see if we return visit.

Found

Slowly heading west from Lismore today.
I have been to Casino before caching.
A few caches I did not find for a couple of reasons, too many muggles, cache blindness or I just did not visit.
A quick find once at GZ this time round. [^] How did I miss that last time [?]
Thanks for the cache.

Found by geokid in the rain! great hide... great hint.. read older comments.. and google is your friend...

Had a third crack at it and got the little bugger! Took different GeoDaughter (there are four to choose from!) - maybe that's what changed our luck. Still, what a search was undertaken for such a small area! TFTC.

Had two goes at this one to no avail. Problems with muggles both times even though it was pretty quiet when we went.

Luckily we arrived here in a quiet time. I have been here before (doing the obvious) when this place is teaming with people.

The clue was spot on but still we searched for a bit before laying our hands on it.

TFTC Bessie's Mob.

A year between road trips had kestal and I felt in need of another. We left toowoomba at 4am and arrived at Ballina just after 5:30pm. Woah, 13 and a half hours of caching...

A very pretty train station. Hint helped. TFTC

I think we may have been going a little loco by the time we got to this cache. We were 9 hours into our road trip when angloj and I found this one. We ended the day in Ballina 13 and a half hours after we started. After just a short search we were lucky to make the find at a very pretty train station. TFTC Bessie's Mob
