Unfortunately, this one will need to go.

###Cache Maintenance Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.

The cache owner, robtas, needs to :

* Return the cache to good health by fixing the problem, re-enabling the cache, and posting an Owner Maintenance log if a Needs Maintenance attribute needs to be cleared. Otherwise :

* Post a Note Log to explain the situation and request more time. Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this, that is for use when you actually 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 robtas.
[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 be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided. If there has been no action to repair the cache or explain the situation, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance 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.

Thank you

No cache but found frog

Couldn’t find it spent a while looking

Sadly was unable to find

18/4/21

Looks like the terrain around the area has been disturbed, and there's orange barricade netting at the gate entrance, so I'm lead to believe that this cache no longer exists.

Can't access the area

Epic fail you pwned us n00bs... You are only as good as your next find.

Looked for a while but all the entries to the park were blocked off with orange workmans fencing so it may have been moved or removed

Late log so apologies. Glover is such a recognisable painter of the times so surprised to see this! Time for a stop. NO Bingo bango - nice spot though. I’m enroute to the East coast via Ben Lomond. Everyday is a great day even if you can’t find the treasure - not many options so I’d say it’s gone

A bumble bees nest right where the cache was supposed to be, with bees who didn’t seem happy about me being there, so didn’t want to poke around it too much.

Found on 22/10/2020 with Craig

This cache helps me with my '366 hidden date' challenge... only 30 to go.
I know this town well, in my misspent youth i had several friends who lived here. I used to ride my bike (the type with both wheels the same size) between Evandale and Nile, Relbia and Youngtown... the market was always a bit "not my thing ". Glover on the other hand had captured shine pretty marvelous vistas.

Thanks for the cache robtas. RDL4963 and I were heading to Launceston for the weekend and decided to detour via Evandale. This was a nice quick cache, although the log is a little damp, we were able to sign the log. Such a gorgeous little town to visit, but I could never live here as I could never have such a neat and manicured garden

a lovely town with lots of history and nice buildings, pity it was an overcast day or we could have stayed here longer, found the cache and continued onto the next one. TFTC TNLN log damp but just usable, might need another container to be waterproof.

Quick find on a very nice location.

Nice

Quick lunch stop and a quick find. Thanks.

Found it! Thanks

TFTC!

We are in Evandale looking forward to watching the Penny Farthing racing this weekend. All quiet this evening so took the chance to grab this cache before all the action begins tomorrow. TFTC

It was just up from our house, took a little bit to find it!

Last one found today on our trip around the back roads of Nile, Evandale, White Hills and Ben Lomond

Great spot

Suscoe was enjoying our last day in Launceston.
It turned out to be a mixed day weather wise with cloud, drizzle and sunshine later on.
There was also a decent breeze as well.

Thanks to robtas for this hide, we learned something new here today.
What a lovely town.

Out for a Valentine's Day lunch with my lovely CoTE. A very full and enjoyable ploughman's lunch at the local bakery, followed by ice cream that we didn't need, but hey, it's Valentine's Day. Then a leisurely stroll hand in hand to this sculpture. CotE generously provided a pen from her bag. Log signing was no problem as the place was muggle free. I covered the hide a bit better than I found it. TFTC robtas

Great cash great spot tftc

Found it

Hello robtas thank you for the cahce

Today EeePees and I were on our way to Launceston to pick up some furniture and on the way we stopped off to find some caches.

A nice quick find thanks to the hint.

Hi robtas, many thanks for the cache, found with my great mate AlbyDangles.

Today we were heading north under the pretence of collecting a piece of furniture; but of course we were geocaching, and may I say, a great day out with fantastic company.

This was our first and only "GC" stop in Evandale, and AlbyDangles has found this one before I knew what was happening!

A nice spot to spend a few minutes in this lovely old town. I'm glad there wasn't a market on today!

Thanks for the reason to stop here.
Cheers, EPs.

Good hide

Great little park with a lot of history especially about Mr Glover

Easy find on a market morning. TFTC

Found with my mum DaryVafder, not sure what this old guy is pointing to? thumbs up maybe?

17/12/19 down from QLD for a holiday and today we are doing some local caches.

Nice quick find. Cute, quaint town well worth the drive through. TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

Found it 10 December 2019, Geocaching app doesn't upload offline log anymore TFTC

Made a very quick find on a busy market day.

Found this while out for a drive, I've never seen this statue before thanks for the cache

Can do with a new log book.

Beautiful quiet spot. Great location.

Found signed returned. Lovely town.

What a gorgeous little town! First place we’ve visited in Tassie and we’re suitably impressed! TFTC

A day out visiting the Ben Lomond area sightseeing and caching.
Last find for the day and an easy find and sign.
Tried for this one a few years ago but the markets were on and muggles everywhere so had no chance.

In the local area picking up a couple of caches and this is my last in Tassie for this trip. Pouring rain and now hail has got me heading indoors for the day.
Lucky it was a nice quick find here with thanks to the good hint.

Traveled from Hobart

Nice easy find. Found with Ozup tftc

Thanks robtas for hiding this cache. Great statue here (wink). On a motor home tour or tassy

Just like Art, the fact that John Glover is “Grandfather of Australian Landscape Art”, is in the eye of the beholder. Did Glover ever experience the full gamut of the Australian Landscape in his 18yrs of residency here. I doubt it.

An easy find. Went to Patterdale to look at the house but disappointed there was little association with the artist but a seven hundred dollar price tag for accomodation for the night! Glover’s paintings are lovely and my favourite hangs in the South Australian art Gallery depicting the house. A quick comparison of the painting and the house as it currently stands reveals quite a bit of artistic licence. Good spot for a cache and great the Glover Prize exists. TFTC

Yay.

Found it. Thanks Robtas

Nice easy find thanks to the good hint. TFTC

Found thank you for placing and maintaining the cache.

Found by Facitman with Rhinogeo on a Footy Weekend at 15:36
Another history related cache makes me a happy cacher. A comment in the description made us investigate a location I refused to touch by Rhinogeo moved further a field and made the find.
Thanks rontas

Found 28/7/19 15:36

Façitman and I did find a few cringeworthy items in one of the locations that matched the hint [xx(] but the partially uncovered cache was found when I broadened the search. The cache was replaced better than it was found

Cheers robtas

Love this place thanks

No problems today as it was very quiet. TNLN TFTC!

Great Cache

LLooking for caches while staying at Longford. Nice to learn a bit about John Glover. TFTC!

In the last couple of days we've travelled from our native Hobart to Launceston for a bit of a Queen's Birthday long weekend getaway. Today, we figured we'd make our way to the Evandale market for a bit of a look around, and pick up a few of the caches along the way and in Evandale.

This ended up being our first cache for the day, tracked down after we'd had our look around the market. With an endless stream of muggles making their way past, it was quite difficult to track down the cache without looking too obvious! Eventually though, a somewhat suspicious-looking feature was detected, and an "accidentally" dropped hat provided some cover to allow a safe retrieval of the cache.

Definitely a challenging search, but we were glad to track it down and meet John in the process!

TFTC!

This is quite the statue. Nice quick find with Mineek thanks to the hint. Cheers

Found

Neat

Found it!

Quiet near the market today robtas but all good at the hide. Added a sealed bag to the log so hopefully the log can be extracted more easily.

Easy find with hint. Difficult to get out of container to sign.

quick find while in town would have loved to stop here for lunch but too early.
heading back to Hobart today picking up some geocaches on the way.
On a Geocacing trip to Tasmania with Tankengine, hello from Canberra

thanks robtas

Found with Mtrax on our mini Tassie holiday! Today we drove back to Hobart from Launceston... Once again, the rain held off, and the sun was shining! Mind you, it was very windy! But that was OK. This was a nice cache find along the way - thanks robotas.

Catching up on old logs. Hope I got the date right. Found this while on holiday with Lekker_Ding. 20c to enter the market but we had no cash so were refused. How rude. Thanks for the cache robtas

TFTC

All excited that we were here on a market day, but weren’t allowed to enter as we hadn’t 0.20 cents pp on us!!! Luckily there was this cache! Tftc

While in the area thought I would stop while there was no muggles around to find the cache

Quite afternoon to go looking for cache

TFTC

Tftf

Easy find.

Tftc beautiful town

Came here to go to the Markets on the following day.
Good fun

A few hours before our plane to kill time we went for a tour and cache around this delightful village. Thank you

Tassie Trip Day 180 - Its time for a little drive today we traveled to Evendale and collected some caches along the way whilst admiring the lovely country side that is everywhere.

Well we made our way to another park and another cache in a park this was very interesting as those trees are so awesome and the age of them would be interesting as they dominate the area after going to the wrong one the correct one was found and the prize claimed with the log signed and all returned to the location it was found in.

Thanks robtas for a great place to visit and cache.

An easy find, thanks. Wish I was here for the Glover landscape prize exhibition next weekend!

Found during a fantastic trip touring around Tasmania for the fortnight. Very impressed with the historic town of Evandale and a great statue. Thanks for the cache robtas!
