### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
----------
A basic tenet of geocaching is that the cache log needs to be signed to record a find, as per [**here.**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#logging ) At the moment it would seem to be somewhat difficult to meet that requirement in regard to this cache.
Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; *"if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can."* see [**here.**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance)
Please respond to this situation by **18th June** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating a date when you believe the situation will be resolved.
**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [**Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [**Temporarily Disable and Enable**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

ROAD TRIP! Well a short one. Heading down to Mount Gambier. Direct way has very few caches that I haven't found. So take the scenic route and grab some caches along the way. [^]
A quick find. I too disturbed the resident spider. The log book is chockers but a found a spot in the middle to stamp.
Thanks Aaron1984.

Found the cache after a short search. Went a little too far off the track initially but that helped make the find a little easier. TFTC
Found on a quick weekend away at the nearby Hooded Plover campground.

TFTC,
Now caching as we head towards our main objective.
Having completed our time at ACT, Snowy's, Dandenong, National Riley Rally on Philip Island, Geelong, the Grampians and now Robe / Beachport, it's time to cache our way north to share a 50th with a friend on the Murray River and the Red Center Experience GC6825Z before returning home with skibum1 from America via Broken Hill, Lightning Ridge, Killcoy and Armidale.
Visited a group of trackables that will be left at the Alice Springs Event .

Leaving the Robe area today to travel west, completing caches along the way, quick find, signed the log and replaced. thanks to Aaron1984. Nice lunch spot.
Out caching for the day to clean up a few caches that have eluded us before die to time restraints. What a lovely area this is. SL TFTC
Out for a drive around the SE with Freddo & Waldron [^]

Enroute from Robe to Loxton today and as I was getting bored driving on the highway I decided to drive this loop to Salt Creek. There were a few caches along the track but only selected this one (as I needed to attack the long drop so that was the driving criteria for stopping here!).

Came back and found it. The container had no lid so I replaced the cache with an identical one. TFTC
We tried to find this one but all we found is in the photo not even sure if it's right
Returning from Mt Gambier & thought I 'd travel the loop road as I didn't have my dog with me this time which is rare...a lovely place to stop along here & the afternoon was nice & sunny...quickly found the cache & onto the next one...Thanks Aaron1984
On our way home from Tea Tree Crossing. An easy find near a handy stop. Thanks
Quickly found after a short bush bash. The log book needs replacing and the container is buggered. Thanks for the Cache
Our third day of camping at Meningie for the Australia Day Long Weekend. We decided to head down to Kingston today and clear out around there and do some 4WDriving along the beaches. Beautiful spot, and a fairly quick find. TFTC
Today we are headed for Beachport, a short camping trip with Earthlight & muggle friends.A nice quick find on the way through. TFTC
Quick find with 3LG as we drove along the Coorong.
Cache lid missing so container needs to be replaced.

Quick stop on our way to robe. We have just started our year long trip around Australia and this cache number 2, dipping in a coin and car that will come to every cache. Looking forward to seeing much more of Aus as we travel and Cache. Nice bush spot.

Despite accurate coordinates, this well hidden cache took a little while to find. The cache and contents were in good condition. The hint is no longer useful as there have been changes to the area. Thanks Aaron1984 for the cache.
At 16.00h, I scratched my head about the clue. It will need a new logbook soon> We were camped at Tea Tree Crossing. TNLNSL TFTC - Unka Dave
No one around so was able to have a relaxed search. Found in good condition but put the logbook in a plastic bag because with a bit of luck it may rain later this year. TFTC Aaaron1984.
Thanks to all the owners of all the caches we found on the Road between Murray Bridge and Kingston S.E. We had a wonderfull day searching and enjoying the beautiful nature. Greetings from Belgium.
Day two of my holidays, heading to the Yorke and Eyre Peninsulas in SA. With a predicted top of an unusual 41° C, I chose to head to the coast for hopefully cooler temperatures. As it turned out, it wasn't much cooler, but a more scenic route. This was another quick find on my journey.
My thanks to Aaron1984 for the cache.

good that it didn't take me long to find the cache, mozzies were eating me alive! TFTC!
Free camping in Kingston, today we set off to see how many caches we could find in the Coorong that we missed a few weeks ago.
Beautiful weather not to hot not too cold, although apparently a storm forecast to arrive tomorrow. [xx(]
Great day to be out in the Geo Cruiser, so many great spots that were within our reach.
Mosquitoes, mosquitoes. Wow where did they all come from. Out of the car and attacked smartly.

The eco-dunny was just what the doctor ordered , and as luck would have it, there was a cache here as well.
We found this one after taking a walk to Lakes Naturally nearby. Found the cache no worries, but it might need a waterproof container soon.
Thanks Aaron1984.
Thanks Aaron1984.
Was aiming to spend the night in the park but unpacked camper turned a light on and packed up and moved on i have never seen so many bugs that can eat you. tftc but we arent staying.
Found this one during our month long tour of SE Australia. It is our intention to find as many caches as possible during our stay and as a result logistics dictate that this generic log will have to suffice .Hope the cache owners, to whom we extend our gratitude for their efforts, will all understand the reasons for this.All good wishes from us both.

I found this in a very exposed place which I figured was not the correct spot. I put it somewhere I thought might be right, but CO should check to see if this is right.
A very relaxing day, a couple of caches to make sure we have 'achieved" something for the day. TFTC JARH
Found on our way home from a fantastic caching trip to Mount Gambier.
We walked towards this one like a moth to a flame. Eventually we spiraled in on it. TFTC Aaron1984.

Samen met team osskeoppe tijdens een weekendje weg, met zeer koude temperaturen deze gevonden.
Was heading down to the Little BIG Event in Nelson Victoria, picking up caches on the way.
A quick find on the trip south. TFTC.
A quick find on the trip south. TFTC.
I was on my way to the Big Little Event and just happened to have to wait for twenty minutes for one group and then two hours for the really late latecomer to get to Tailem Bend Considering that I had the greatest distance to travel, that was interesting
So, I stopped and did one cache all on my own. Then when Honeysucker and firesafe arrived, we headed out and got a few more together.
When Huurtle finally arrived, we headed off in convoy to some very interesting caches and by the end of the day, I had locus cache'd on 24 and only had 1 DNF. [^]
This was such an awesome day as it included my getting the Corolla bogged in sand, firesafe getting bogged in mud (however he got himself out where as I had required his help to get out of my spot of bother), my first visit to the sea side of the Coorong, some great fun driving on dirt roads (anyone want to clean the inside of my car?) and some great company from Suzi Quatro on the CD.... all in all a fantastic way to get to an event!! [^] [^]
We parted company at Kingston SE and I cruised on my own to the Big Little Event at Nelson, getting only a few more caches on the way as by then, I was kind of tired [|)]
After a stop at Salt Creek, we came here and found this cache. Well, we did have a previous finder in our midst!

Zig zagging our way down the coorong road. Locus Cache, FireSafe, Honeysucker & myself, visiting some out of the way cache, missed on previous treks down here... And new ones placed since...
Quick stop while detouring to Wild Dog Island.

The Coorong has been neglected by "If" for too long [:o]
I have a few days to do something about that !!
As a young lad growing up in Adelaide, the family used to head out on skool holidays to Mount Gambier and The Grampians.
Sadly my parents never owned a 4WD until well after I left home, and so our drives down the Coorong were confined to the black top.
At long last, and with a bit of a nudge from geocaching, I have the technology and time to find out what lies on the south-west of the highway, out of sight
OK, so maybe getting to this cache is not the epic adventure I had envisioned, but it is a start ....
The cache was a nice easy find behind the picinic area [^]
Now for the walk to the nearby cache

# 1825. Stopped at this nice place a little off the main road and wandered amongst the lovely trees. The GPS was being just a little bit tricky and when I turned around I spotted the rather bold hide. TNLN and managed to sign and return with no muggles in sight. TFTC
Spent today caching the South East with Bettyboo3747.
I walked right past this one, but Bettyboo turned just at the right moment.
Nice drive around through the Coorong
Thanks, Robmc.

Rain eased after a few minutes, so ventured off to take photos, and find the other nearby cache.

Day 2 of our SA meander heading north to Port Augusta leisurely picking up a few caches along the way and hopefully catching up with a few South Australian teams that always make us Mexicans feel welcome. This is our first cache today and the first thing that we noticed as we arrived was how much the camping fees had gone up since our last visit, fortunately we weren't camping today so it didn't really matter. We parked and followed the GPSr needle to gz where the cache took quite a few minutes to locate as the GPS really didn't want to settle for some reason but we were able to add our name to the log before heading on the way again.
Thanks Aaron1984 for the cache.

While on a short holiday in the South East, we thought it only fitting to do a few caches.
The log was quite damp, but given the weather lately that is no real surprise. I replaced as best I could to avoid more problems.

Just the right spot to stop as we were camping on the Coorong. Collected my camping permit and a cache. Busy road today. There must have been 20 vehicles going past in 10 minutes.
Went for a drive down the Loop Road on our way home from Beachport and stopped in here to do the caches. Cache was found on the ground in the open so I placed it somewhere I thought it might belong.
Found with Team Temperance a newly intoduced Geofamily took a little looking around but found fairly quickly. The kids were disapointed that it didn't have the usual swaps as just a small to micro. SLTFTC
