I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore the cache, or any communication from the cache owner, sharonh1 , requesting additional time, within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note, and it appears that the cache has been abandoned.

###Cache Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO.
The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 4 weeks to see if either
- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken
**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

Camping on the Pipers River not too far away for the Easter break. Beautiful calm, sunny days and evenings. Lovely sitting around the camp fire with daughter, son in law, two dogs, and not forgetting 'the boss' of course !
Third day of caching activity after coffee (again) at that beaut little coffee spot in Lillydale.
Great pathways to walk the dogs here and watch the antics on Segways, and kids on the aerial adventure course.

Doing a lap of Tassie over the next 2 weeks while here on holidays from Perth.
After spending the night in town we spent time at the Gorge then Museum.
After doing the zipline course I came back to find the cache. Bit of a bushbash to get here but quick find once at GZ. TFTC

A massive day out with StainlessSteelRat and GooseandEgg but well worth it to apply a little TLC to some of our originals. It seemed a bit sad to lose some of the history of caching in our state so a rescue run was in order.
Of course, I left a trail of little Scouts behind in any container that they would fit in.
This was a return visit, initially found this one in 2014 but this area is always worth a return visit, besides this cache didn't have a little scout in it until now.

Well this was a BIG day and not in the number of caches found but in the time, distance and effort to do a bit of TLC on a shortlist of older caches, we wanted to do more but just ran out of time but we got a lot done today.
We replaced a moist log book on this cache before adding out names.
All is now in good order with this almost 7 year old cache.
Thanks to the CO for placing this cache in the first place all those years ago.
Second thanks to my fellow community cachers today (gooseandegg and Tazscout) for the company, putting up with my bad jokes, splitting the driving of 1000km and keeping me awake for 18 hours (naps exempted).

Initially we struggled to get to GZ, trying the the short direct approach. When we bothered to check the map properly we found the easy way in and followed a proper path to where the cache is hidden.
Thanks sharonh1
Maintenance check #4
replaced moist logbook and removed rubbish
A last minute plan was made to sort out a few issues in the north of the state. Stainless steel rat picked me up at 6.30am and we were soon northbound. After the usual coffee and toilet stops we had a good run to meet TazScout. With a real chance of losing some of our historical caches we decided action was needed so this was a day of TLC on a list of caches that severely needed some love and attention. It was a long but successful day with SSR dropping me of at 11.55pm.
Thanks and well done to my community caching buddies (TazScout and Stainless steel rat) who did the bulk of the work today. With my arm still in a cast I was just a third wheel but provided moral support

Lots of squealing was heard above when signing the log. Great location to hide a cache. Thanks.
Great spot. It was late in the day so we had a torch. Storm was eager to open it.
I quick circuit of the deck had the cache in hand, I couldn't really understand the meaning of the name of this cache until I looked up! It was a "DOH" moment. TFTC.
A bit of a bush bash to get there but in hindsight, there are tracks that can be easily followed without needing to stick to the bearing exactly. Fun though. Log book wet though but just writeable.
I slipped right onto this one. I'm sure if there are vampires they live at Hollybank. Thanks for the cache!
Came out to explore Merthyr Park with friends who were new to caching. We called in here on the way home but didn’t have long to search. We found a platform but it was probably the wrong one as my phone said we were quite a long way off. Had to race back to town so left it for another day.
Staying in Bridport for a few days to explore this lovely part of Tassie. We haven’t been to this part of the world before so with great weather we are having a wonderful time. We thoroughly enjoyed our walk to GZ! A short searched before we saw the container. On the way back we came across 3 segways riders!! Lovely area.

After a nice walk trough this beautiful forest we arrived at the location of the cache.
There were people on the zip line. We stayed there for a while to watch with interest.
Thanks for showing us such a beautiful place.

Took a shortcut through the bush to arrive at gz where after a short search the cache was found. Log fairly damp but still able to sign. Never seen this zip line before so will have to come back and try it out. Tftc sharonh1....cheers ST.
Came back to find this after a DNF a month a go, just lucky enough to find this TFTC
Found it. I approached from Bank of Holly on foot via designated path and saw no sign of restricted areas. Beautiful walk and loved the sound of the river running nearby. Early morning midweek hunt so no overhead muggles today. Thanks for the find!!
This was such a lovely walk - we often come mountain biking here but it was really nice to take our time and enjoy the forest. We'll definitely be back to do the zip line! A quick find when we arrived, TFTC:)
Apologies for the delay in posting our log. We've just had a great 16 day holiday in Tassie. Now back home on the mainland it's time to log our 108 finds of the trip.
Needed to walk more than one track to finally end up on the right one.

Used the cycle maps view and found this without going anywhere we felt we shouldn't. Nice walk in the forest, wish we had our bikes! Tftc.
Not easy to find the right track to walk to avoid the 'no go' zones but persistent driving and stopping prevailed. The find was easy. Kutgw
No problem in finding the cache. Water was in the container and everything we wet. A better container is what is needed for this cache. TFTC
Not sure that we made the correct approach here! Ended up doing quite a long round walk, but that's always pleasant in Tassie☺. We went on the treetops adventure a few years ago - had a ball! Highly recommended. Thanks for the cache and walk.
Went hunting and was looking too hard so started looking simpler and found it easy left a gift for the next *broom broom*
Walking around with venturers this evening.
This cache was hunted, tagged and released by activehunters tftc.

Left the geovan at old macs farm while we went exploring to the east, found this one after a bit of a bush walk. thanks sharonh1
Went for a wander around the beautiful Hollybank forest reserve this evening and navigated the many tracks to find the cache after a couple of wrong turns.
Log was very damp and soggy but was still able to sign the log.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
Staying overnight at Bracknell today we had to take Moggie_Jones to the Airport so a visit to Launceston was in order.
Ducked up here to find a new cache then realised that we had not found these caches either. A muggle was at GZ watching his family overhead on the zip line. He was very busy watching them so a stealthy find was made.

Really soggy log needs replacing. But as it is our 200th cache, anything will do! Many TFTC.
Should of stuck to the track but we found it after an above voice told us there's a track .. very funny times
No problems here, a short walk and then a quick find. Contents damp and log book is too although still signable. This one may need a maintenance visit soon. Thanks.
Hi sharonh1
I loved this cache.
Have only been to Hollybank once or twice before, so a return trip was most welcome.
Don't know that I took the right path (bush bash) to the cache but I did (track and road) on the way out.
Made the cache find even more fun.
I found the co-ordinates to be spot on which made for a very quick find.
I Sainted the cache at 1615hrs.
Thanks for a great experience.
TFTC and cheers

Came to Hollybank to ride around the bike tracks, we started off with the 'no sweat' which was more than we bargained for. So after that i looked for this cache and the other one on GCA, which i was unsuccessful. Found this one quickly. The ride above looks daring. TFTC find #236
Found this a while ago but it would appear that we forgot to log it so date is not accurate
Had to look for a few moments, kid was a bit disappointed nobody flew past on the zip.
An easy find as no zipliners today but one minute later and we would have been caught by the segwayers. TFTC!
Lovely spot but be aware of the tours in the trees u will be sprung where you shouldn't be
Hi
I have walked in this reserve before looking for a cache or two. This was hidden very well and should not have a problem disappearing.
Had a nice walk to and from the car, especially where the trees form a canopy over the path

Found with tdvm after our own zipline tour. Sprung by a suspicious segway tour guide as the group marshaled around us. Log book quite damp. Replaced the container upright to try to keep it dry.
Searched extensively could not find it. GPS kept saying it was way off the track in bush, found a likely hollow in a fallen log but no sign of cache. Would help if we knew what size to look for.
