###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of 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 any 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 Blundo Busters 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 there, and in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

A few caches while working in Richmond.Either too good for me today or it’s missing. Thanks
Found, although I found the cache on the ground, open with the log missing. I have sent the CO a message.
Have had this very simple find as a reminder how difficult it is to cache in lock-down in NSW
I looked a few times and all in the wrong area - well, of course, they were in the wrong areas or i would have found it already! So, on my last day in town, i dragged a colleague from work with me and said goodbye to Richmond with a very fitting "FOUND IT!" Log, of course, was dutifully signed and cache safely placed back. TYFTC SLTNLN
I've only managed to find a few while here in NSW so hope to return one day for an onslaught of finds. Stay safe in NSW. I'm headed into quarantine now. Peace, love and caching!

Had a few minutes to spare while my train was terminated. Found it easily. TFTC.
Log is too soggy to sign clearly. I don't have a replacement log with me. Sorry. Photo of log.
A quickie! Went for one suspicious looking item but found the ‘real’ one right next door!
While out doing the tour of Macquarie towns, we happened to park only 130ms away from the cache, so aubeasty and went for a short walk. No muggles around although there was a train sitting at the station. Found in the only possible spot.
An early morning snatch and grab was easy to pull off when I was able to park right beside the cache.
Tftc and easy start to the day.
Tftc and easy start to the day.
A quick find while parked nearby doing the Macquarie Towns AL. Not a typical BB hide, this one!
We searched along the fence for a few minutes, before following the etrex to where the cache really was. Very good coords. TFTC Blundo Busters
Pretty easy find. Went with a friend and showed her it and she was really happy when she was the one that found it.
Usually I travel by train to do caches this far from home but with all the restrictions on public transport numbers at the moment I drove here today. That actually was a bonus as I was able to go further afield so all good.
I have only been to Richmond station once before and went in the opposite direction so I didn't realise what a lovely historic and picturesque station it was.
I found the cache and signed the log then walked over to the fence to take some photos with the cache in my pocket. The wire was hopeless so I went onto the platform for a better shot. With that accomplished I un-opaled and went back to replace the cache. It was gone!
How could that have possibly happened, I hadn't touched my pockets??
Then I noticed it had magnetised itself to my car keys, phew!
Replaced where I found it.

First to find no name on log forgot to bring a pen very clean we did not have high expectations of finding it

GZ has changed by council and therefore made it impossible for this hide to remain as was originally hidden. I will relocate some 20m away shortly.

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.
If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Not too many muggles about to hinder my search.... Accept for a train driver sitting in a waiting train. I looked over and of course he was watching me and probably wondering what the heck I was up to. Quickish search but DNF
Not too tricky to find thanks to the clever clue. Forgot a pen so took a photo instead. TFTC
Poursuite de notre séjour à la découverte de Sydney et ses environs.
Aujourd'hui, nous partons vers les montagnes bleues. Un arrêt ici afin de faire les provisions pour le pique-nique.
Pendant que le petit groupe entre dans le magasin avec le guide, nous en profitons pour venir déloger cette boite.
Meeci pour cette cache.

Continuation of our stay to discover Sydney and its surroundings. Today we go to the blue mountains. A stop here to make provisions for the picnic. While the small group enters the store with the guide, we take the opportunity to dislodge this box. Thank you for this cache.

On my way to north Sydney straight after work today to set up a good weekend of caching. Making most of daylight I started caching early to do most of the driving later when dark. Once near Windsor and Richmond I also did a bit of night caching. Quickly found.

Thank you for the cache

Took us about 20 minutes to find, 15/4/19 was really stuck, hidden really well, thank you
TFTC tricky lil cache and i should have stuck to my first thoughts as that was its location lol but went back to first thoughts after lookn for a few minutes elsewhere
Geocache No: 676
Time: 03:15
Condition: The log is full
Experience:
Came to get this one after I prepped my train. Had an hour to spare before departure and thought I’d duck over and grab this one. We’re looking to move close to this area soon (hopefully) so we’ll hopefully be knocking off all the Richmond caches soon enough.
This one was easier than I thought. Usually BB caches can be quite hard with the St Marys Trainspotter eluding me for years. This one was in the second spot I looked and was in good condition. The only issue with this cache was that the log is nearly full. I’ll report that it needs maintenance though, if I had the paper on me, I just would have replaced it myself.
Thanks BB for yet another great cache.

TFTC! What a hide! Such a tricky one to find, and as others have said security is quick to ask questions, all in all though fantastic!! Thanks guys!

Celebrating Marsbar’s birthday! Aiming for one for each year! 38th find of the day - this puts us one cache over the Target, however after Blundo Buster eluded us at our first stop today, we couldn’t resist attempting this one.
