Hi
This cache appears to have some problems. It is the cache owner's responsibility to read the logs and check the cache to sort out any problems with it and give an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find.
**The cache is being Disabled to give the Cache Owner an opportunity to investigate and fix the apparent issues.**
Once the cache is operational again, the CO should write an *Owner Maintenance* log advising that the promlems have been fixed, and to remove the *Needs maintenance* attribute (red cross) if that is showing on the cache page. The CO can then write an Enable log to return the cache to play.
If the cache cannot be fixed it should be archived.
**If there is no response to this log after 30 days the cache will be Archived.**

The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Unable to find this one

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Having grabbed this one before when part of Tascookies, knew where to look, but cache nowhere to be seen. Think this one has gone missing.

DOH!! I guess I need to get more than 6 finds worth of experience

No luck here today

Looking for our 23rd cache, I guess we're not real cacher's yet!

How clever!

Super tricky. Nearly gave up but then used geo brain better and found it

TFTH Yes I really like this one. My 107th and maybe no longer a neocacher!!

Found cache but no log sheet inside. Have put in a new piece of paper. TFTC

TFTC

AMAZING HIDE. Definitely earns a favourite.

Found by The Boofs on holidays TFTC .

Tftc

Tricy

Brilliantly hidden. Parked with 7m of GZ. Spent about 5min loitering around passing muggle motorists until Mrs GC threatened to get out of the car and have a real look. Daughter GC then picked it up. Thx

TFTC! Haha sneaky and muggle central today...

Found after a small search. Search was definitely made a bit longer due to trying to not look suspicious to passing motorists. Was just thinking to myself yesterday that hadn't seen a cache type like this in awhile. TFTC.

Love it! TFTC

Found previously with the lovely Jac. Cheers, thanks a lot.

Took me a few minutes of looking subtle as it's a pretty busy intersection. Pokémon Go is a good cover for caching Very nice hide, extraction proved a challenge though. Bring an extraction tool! TFTC

I am a true geocacher. Woohoo! Thanks so much. Loved it.

Sneaky.... nice little stream after the rains. ...

Nicely hidden, only found this one with the assistance of Spaceyfacehead (she has a real knack for these micro caches)
Hard to get the log out.

Very proud to have found this one so quickly. Beautiful mosaic. Thanks for placing this clever and crafty cache at a spot I normally just drive past. Found with onthrun

Found it

'Near' impossible to get log out. Impossible to get log back before cutting 2" off ( sorry). Loved the mosaic so gets a favourite for that. TFTC. So much traffic since we came to Margate 2 years ago.

Full of blackberries around!! Tftc

A quick find by MrsGT54. Love the mosaic works. Tftc

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

Our last day in Snug so we set about collecting some smilies before we move tomorrow.

No rain but the wind was a bit cool. [^]

Wow we have passed this intersection many times in the last month but never seen the mosaics. today after finding your clever cache Mrs Felix made sure to check them out.

Good hide,quick find on the way home from some shopping, TFTC
We're on a six month stay (til the end of March '16) here from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney, to tour in the caravan and also visit our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley
On four previous visits before this visit, we were muggles, so we have a whole island of caching fun ahead of us!

Quick find only because i have found similar caches otherwise a possible did not find. Thank you

Geohubby is very pleased with himself and keeps reminding me he is a real geocacher! Very tricky.

Found quickly only because I have seen this type of sneaky hide once before.
Thanks

Out and about caching with Ninjawolf and LRS
Had to really have our caching eyes in this morning for this one but found it in the end. TFTC

Very sneaky hide, took a bit of looking to find this one, good cache.
Found with TazScout and NinjaWolf.

What a wonderful job they've done on the mosaic and still intact too. Hope it stays that way for a long time to come. Cache found safe and dry. Thanks blindfreddies.

Definitely one of those caches where reading the description is a must! After finding the nicely crafted cache, we walked along to the other end to see the mosaics and had fun identifying the elements depicted as we walked the length of them. What a great community effort. TFTC, blindfreddies. =^.^=

Very cool cache!!! The river was flowing & noisy. My geobuddy Larry Laptop & I down this way to visit a chicken shop Riverbend & after some scrumptious afternoon tea we had to do a few caches!!! TFTC!

Thanks! I was worried when we started this one as there were a few spots I thought it could be, ( there was a very suspicious looking bird poo that I almost touched). Lucky Sarahtas was at her finest!

TFTC. Took awhile. I'm sure the locals were wondering what we were doing. Wondered the same thing myself at times.

Sneaky sneaky! Great cache, thank you!

Went out tonight for a walk and came across this, nice hide blindfreddies
Thanks

Nice mosaics. Never looked at them up close despite regular drive-pasts. Enjoyed reading the descriptive info plaques too, This makes our 12th ever find. Learning the tricks as we go. To us, this was a sneaky hide. TFTC.

Clear at the moment but threatening to rain good find log dry and safe

Awesome cache well hidden took us a little while but got there in the end! TFTC

Feeling like a true cacher! From the U.S. and working towards #5000. Love Tasmania! Thanks for the cache!

Tftc drove past many times and finally decided it was a good day to stop

A lovely mosaic I have driven past on a number of occasions but never taken much notice of until today. With the clue, I had a fair idea of what I would be looking for, with my mum looking very shocked when I produced the log after less than a minute of searching! Thank you for this cache!

Having failed to find this a couple of weeks ago, I had a think and went back. Right at the moment my phone made the tone to say that I was close, a German tourist was hanging over the railing. "Did you find it?" I said. "Yes, she said,"it was a schmetterling!"

After a bit of searching it was finally found. Very nice!

Took a bit of searching but enjoyed the blackberries while looking

We are new to this and don't know what we are doing. :p

Oyseka and us stopped for this one but although there was four of us we had no luck. Is it still there?

Tftc!

First Tasmania catch!

Nice cache!

Clever grandson found it once again

Prefect weather day, drive to south coast loop from sandy bay to south hobart via taroona, margate, kettering, small towns, huonville, ferntree for light caches with geomum.. Lovely view sea ocean, easy short walk to GZ, nice hide very well as no trouble...

On our way back home and thought we would stop by and find a couple of caches. This one is pretty cool. Signed and logged. Tftc.

Quick find with co-ords spot on. Good thing I had an extraction tool in the car! TFTC

A clever hide, deserves a favourite. It wasn't the first place we looked but the second, so nearly true cachers. TFTC

# 5498 Found and logged at 3:06:00 PM
One of 3 caches on a wet and miserable day in Margate TAS
Thanks for the cache blindfreddies
lgoody

We must be "True Cachers" because Knight #1 had the great cache in hand within 20 seconds. Favourite point added. Tftc

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Must be a true cacher ! TFTC

I've always wanted to stop and look at the mosaics and a cache gave me the perfect opportunity. Cache was quickly in hand, signed and returned. TFTC

Nice one. Very creative. Was almost going to give up when one of my kids found it!

Having just done a cache at the train we drove the short distance to this one and were pleased to find a parking spot right next to GZ. After an initial search turned up nothing we spread out a bit and after about 5 minutes this cache was spotted, it took us awhile to get the log out but as we sat in the car we managed to get the log signed and soon had the cache replaced again.

Thanks for the cache.

Nice hide. TFTC.

After standing back and surveying the area for a few moments the well cammoed cache was spotted. Nice hide. TFTC

Somehow we must have missed the mosaic but the cache was easily found. Nice sneaky hide. We have replaced the logbook. TFTC blindfreddies.

Mr Beetle made the quick find of this clever cache. Having found similar caches before certainly made this one easier. Thanks.

I like these ones .. TFTC

First thing for the day was orienteering at Coningham. Completed a pretty reasonable course and then took the scenic drive through Snug before heading home. Beautiful area and a very pleasant day to visit it. Thought it was straight forward until cache could not be found. Then some lateral thinking and of course there it was. Clever hide. The log is totally full and desperately needs replacing.
TFTC

This one beat me. I went to the 'usual' spot, where my GPS homed in on, reached in and felt. Feeling nothing I fetched a mirror and torch and looked more closely. Still couldn't find anything, so I widened my search. Still nothing. [xx(]

What a beautifully done Moasiac. I got out of my rig without my GPS as I saw the guard rail and these are a favourite mine. WRONG! I then went back to read the hint and thought it must be gone! But only for a moment. Soon had it in hand. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad Carer Lis Brown en route from Bundaberg Qld to Perth WA via all of Tasmania.

First time in Tassie - what a great country !!! TFTC

Great little cache. TFTC.

Found 03.02.14. We often go to Snug to visit a relative and we had looked for this one back in August when we first took up geocaching. Of course we did not find it - had no idea that hides could be as clever as this. We know more now and found it quickly. TFTC

One of these things is not like the others...love it. TFTC. Log is chockers

Found it had trouble getting the log out to sign it

Have known a cache was here for some time but never had the time to pull over for a look until today, found after a couple of minutes, very clever hide.
Have seen a couple like this one at the other island above us.
TFTC

This was our first geocache ever, with TSVMillsmob from Townsville who are old friends down in Tas for a visit. Yey, thanks guys for the intro!!

Found it with first time geocaches, Meankemi. We search for ages and ages. We were giving up and saying that we weren't true geocaches. When all of a sudden, one of our geoteenagers found it by mistake! Great hiding spot!
TFTC!

Gotcha !!! TFTC

This was a neat hide. Although I have to admit I did try to dismantle another part of it first. And gave wilco the choice of which contained the cache! Very nice mosaic too, I liked the cherries, the pelicans and the fish. It's a good spot for a cache, thanks blindfreddies.

A quick find: true geocachers unite. This is the first one of these we've seen in Tassie. Great. TFTC

Wow

We must be getting better! After 2 previous visits we were happy to put this one on the found list. Clever hide. TFTC

This was a quick find for us so I guess that makes us true cachers. We liked this on so its a favourite from us. TFTC

Bear was on the ball for this one. Great hide. Loved it.

Looked high and low but to no avail.

Mr Frog is still gloating after 7 days
TFTC

Clever hide
