Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, petzine, 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 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 petzine 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.
Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

Todays weather forecast, one hundred percent chance of rain all day with a high of nine and a low of six. Very windy as well. That didn’t stop us from finding seven caches, and the weather meant there were no muggles.
No luck here, cache is gone. Needs to be replaced.

I think it is safe to say, this cache has truly washed away. After four DNFs I think this needs maintenance or to be replaced

Dear petzine, found your cache however not sure if someone has vandalised it or if it was uncovered by the high tide. Needs maintenance, Bentis123
Our first ever day of caching in Tassie. Loving the scenery around here. TFTC petzine
Down in Tassie for a break before Christmas and continuing our travels around the country, wow the countryside is absolutely glorious. Happy to say we came up trumps here and walked away with a smiley TFTC
Found whilst spotting whales in the Derwent. Perfect morning for both activities .
Geocache log damp inside container, but might be from the tennis ball in there!

Found it easily enough and made a quick self portrait along with my log. Enjoyed the quiet lil pit stop close to the waves
Well hidden in public spot. Big day training and studying. Building up to my first comp next weekend in Hobart so came down to weight train this week. Love it down here and love how the cache trails show me new spots. Thanks
Thanks for the cache. Beautiful spot for an afternoon walk and exploring rock pools and perfect place for a coffee ️ found this one with very over excited geo-kids and Psaltyranger.
TFTC fou d on a brisk evening still beautiful by the water with kunanyi in the background

Our last day of caching in Southern Tasmania, started with a visit to the iconic Salamanca Market, followed by some caching beside the Derwent, through the city of Clarence.
Luckily the locals were more interested in their dogs, rather than our antics.
Thanks to 'petzine' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

On our Tour through Tassie we made a stop to find the caches.
Here we can find the Cache after a short search. A nice hide.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

Most geocachers would have found it very easily, took a bit of time at GZ would you believe...once the hide was spotted you know it will be there. Thanks for the hide petzine lovely big cache and fabulous views.
Up very early to go Cache Tranmere, before the Iconic Boxing Day Test Match Cricket starts, I was off to my 1st find.
This nicely hidden cache was found and the log signed at 07:54 on Boxing Day 2018
The cache and contents are all fine

Hi petzine, thanks for the cache.
Found on a cycling ride with geoSonE after an enjoyable luncheon Christmas catchup with the muggle in-laws nearby. Stopped to grab a couple of caches, this being the 2nd.
Quick find, thanks to the hint, handy, as it was starting to get a bit warmer later this afternoon.

The sea breeze smelled good, and the cache found quickly. Took a moment to look over the rock pools too.
Tftc, this is a historical log now that I have my own account, was there with Didda_au when the cache log was signed. Was here for school sport touch rugby championship.
TFTC. BusterDanDan and I are here from WA watching the School Sports AU TOUCH rugby championship.
Sneaky sneaky.
We nearly gave up when I thought I'd try one more x. And waaaala. There the cache was 'growing'.
TFTC. Very cool. Also beautiful spot to meditate or just watch the ocean.

This beach area just gets better. Only problem is I sit down and soak in the view at EVERY CACHE

I'm convinced geocaching in a more beautiful spot isn't possible.

And after taking a comfy seat,
a cache was in reach
All good here at half tide !!
