As there's been no response, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
Caches archived for Lack of Maintenance will not be Unarchived.
If you feel there is a valid reason to Unarchive this cache, please contact me via my profile, by email or messenger.

Cache replaced in same spot on sat 24th. Same type. Hopefully this one will last.

Actually I'll disable it again(sat 24). At ground level near a drain it's just likely to go missing again.
I'll think of someone else to go here instead that's more likely to last. Stay tuned.

Checked today (Saturday). Log appears to be missing. Disabling until I can replace it.

A nightime cache here in Tasmania. Great cache. Loved the views at night. TFTC.

What a doozy.... Blended in so well.
Once we worked out what the broken l was (it's not exactly evident) the rest was easy, but needed to explore further in the hole
Tftc

Very good hiding spot! Hint makes sense once cache is found!

Very good hiding spot, took a while but finally found it.

This is a street we haven't been in before. Interesting old houses. TFTC

Hi found it in a hole next to the Brocken L

Great Nano!!! TFTC!!

?

Found this one in th open. Not sure where it came from. Put it in a hole. Hope the owner can fix it up.

TFTC! All in the hint...

To many muggles today, will try again

Thanks AussieCacheHunter for new log. At precisely the moment I arrived a carload of people came out of their house and loaded up into their car 5m away. Went to go for a short walk but lost the pathway. Anyway cache found shortly after.

Checked on cache.
Cache is still there.
Have replaced log scroll with a fresh one.

Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today. [8)] Hopefully we were just cache blind again.

Thanks anyway AussieCacheHunter

Thanks. One more spot on the log left!

Couldn't open the lid tried with coin and fingernails but no luck so wouldn't find our names on the log but it is on here TFTC

After reading the logs I was starting to wonder my luck but I found it!!! No tweezers so not game to open & rewind log. TFTF!

Found it

Very clever, it's all in the hint

one of my 1st caches in TAS, tftc!

Very tricky little cache, put my hand on the cache two or three times before we found it Tftc

Oh wow! Just WOW! That was a crazy one. My geocaching daughter had already found this but was with us and was in fits of laughter at me and geodad scratching around and scratching our heads.
Finally located it, but gee, if your looking for it and wear glasses at all MAKE SURE YOU ARE WEARING THEM! !!
Thanks for a great little cache

Thanks for a great little cache

Ok I'm happy to admit that I can't find it and I can't for the life of me work out the hint! Several attempts here and it has me stumped!

Thanks to a little tip, it was actually quite obvious :p

Found it was driving me and the geoboy crazy!

Took a while! Found with geomum. Awesome container! TFTC

I find the hint but nothing!

Found my first micro. TFTC

TFTC found this one on holiday with Warpedpoodle and Leblet

Being only a little over 200 metres from where I'm currently staying I decided to make a detour on my walk home from work to get it. Unfortunately there was a muggle mother looking out for her muggle children right where the cache was meant to be, so I pretended I was a little lost and following my phone for directions and walked off up the nearby laneway. This morning I had a second go.
Very suprised I found it given the size and location. I will admit the hint helped!
Enjoyed the views.
TFTC

Nice one. Not easy, but cool

Finally!! We found it!
Thanks AussieCacheHunter for the help!
I saw the broken L and looked all around it but didn't find it the last 2 times and magically today it was there! Don't know how we missed it, we looked in exactly that same place. So glad to finally tick this one off. TFTC.

I AM SO FRUSTRATED!! Gaaaahh!!
This is my second crack at finding this GC, brought hubby along to help me, a friendly neighbour in the area gave us a general area to search, we searched for nearly an hour and could not find it!! I hate the clue! Makes no sense. We searched all through the rocks, I pulled that little plant a part, we made a huge mess of dirt, rocks, broken cement, sticks, etc... Nothing. It must be gone or someone has been a D-head and moved it elsewhere.

Was muggle central down the end of this little street! Someone must be renovating or something. I bailed. Don't understand the clue at all. Will try again another day.

Found with my daddy and logged much later. TFTC!

Found with Felix the spy and Arwen21, thanks!

Cool find

Cache found in location it was temporarily placed in by Sog n Paulus. Thanks Sog n Paulus.
Cache relocated to original hiding location and camouflage reapplied.

Found accidentally I think. Cache was out in the open. Replaced into a cavity. Hope that's OK.
We'll email owners shortly.
Nice spot though
Thanks

This one has been a pain, so glad to tick it off the list! Found on my second visit with EzziBell after phoning a friend. I spent 10-15 minutes here last time, and 10 minutes this time going around and around it - terrible cache blindness! Didn't want the people who live here to think I was casing their houses, so thought I'd best make sure of it this time. TFTC!

What a difference a nudge in the right direction does to help and a big thank you for it.

One same name in NSW near Qld border which we found in 2012 caused a bit of confusion when first noticed on the web. Anyway today we made a visit and left most frustrated others found it but we looked and looked without success.

An afternoon walk was the decision and in the New Town area, where a couple of recent caches had been placed. The start was near New Town Nursery due to the desirability of parking near the sports series #1 cache. Next was over 1K away and then the plan was a coffee at the nursery café, however we weren't as fortunate as Dippy http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=e5c9e712-48d4-4d9c-85bd-14f5e70bcfef because it was closed by the time we got there. Our third and final cache attempt was to walk up to valley views which up until now we had not tried and maybe we shouldn’t have bothered as it ended our outing in frustration.

Would be very hard without the clue

Nice one TFTC

After a long time of searching for the Cache and a nice talk with one neighbour we finally found it. That was my first Cache in Australia!
TFTC

Hard find, took a while, but after looking at hint it made sense, TFTC

Tough find but the hint made sense

Tough find but the hint made sense

Geoniece and I stood at GZ for a while. Geoniece saw the hidden clue in EVERYTHING around us, and the riddle clue made very little sense to me at all.

After 10 minutes (with me thinking that knock off time probably wasn't the best time to look for this cache as the locals all seemed to be coming home), for no apparent reason WHATSOEVER, I found the cache in it's spot. Pure accident. Geoniece then found the meaning of the hidden clue and was impressed.

TFTC - nice vista!

Clever little hide. TFTC

First one found in Tasmania, not far from our first night's accommodation. Nice view of Mount Wellington. Too windy for us to go up there though. Badja Jnr and I had nice little walk to find. Really love the architecture around New Town, particularly the Salvation Army headquarters that was right next to our accommodation.

Tough find even with clues good hide nice cache TFTC TNLN

Having driven passed this one a number of times and not looking at the map in great detail I turned off Main road today and ended up having to do a loop to get on the right street, upon looking at GZ we spotted a couple of old cars parked that look like the owner is going to get round to restoring one day maybe? but getting back to the cache we searched around for a bit and then after reading the hint and a bit more looking round the cache was found, good hide i must say and without the hint i would have been here for hours.

Thanks for the cache.
Found on 16.12.2013

The best caches I have found by type are :-

Took ages to find this one! It was still worth it

TFTC

Geokid with keen eyes found it. We used to live in Mr Stuart so really nice to come to this spot and look across the valley. TFTC

TFTC!

Not to hard because of the good hint.

TFTC my friend's first cache find - very exciting! I think she's addicted. First find for me in Tassie- enjoying the cache craze back home

Thank you. We have been meaning to do this one since it first went live, then it went missing and now we were wandering around after lunch, so it's done. Cute.

TFTC - Great hint and hide.

Great little cache but may have struggled in the wet today without a assistance from the bear. clever hide. TFTC

Couldn't find it.

Tough geocache. 5 out of 6 today. I would have been here for hours if I didn't being geoson with me. With his eagle eyes we got it in a flash. TFTC

Well this was only my fourth attempt at this one.... It definitely helps when the cache hasn't gone AWOL!! Great little hide TFTC

We had been meaning to do this one for awhile but then had noticed that it had been temporarily disabled. Now that it was back in business we thought it was now time. After the Cub's swimming lesson, the Bear and Cub headed here on a lovely Wednesday afternoon. A bit of searching turnout to be fruitless but then the Bear decided to actually read the description. After that, the cache was retrieved within a matter of seconds. Tricky little sucker. TFTC.

A beautiful sunny warm day great for a little geocaching. Parked in Main Road opposite the little car yard and walked up the path way. Took me a couple of minutes to work out the hint but it did help. A glittery tiny container once you uncovered it. No pen so not signed. TFTC

Ok I've replaced the missing cache.
Same place, same type, same size, as close to the original colour as I could get.
New log of course.

It's gone
I'll try and get it replaced promptly.

After 3 attempts, even with a bigger hint from wilco I still couldn't find this one..... So after last nights event wilco accompanied me... But still no luck! I'm thinking this one has gone! :/

DNF I know I'm in the right spot, just can't see for looking

Everyone else can find it, i'm sure I will too...sometime.

it was fun

Once again Hobart's weather was failing to cooperate. Starting to get on towards twilight, a light drizzle and about 9 degrees C so when two residents cars pulled up we gave up and headed back home to start dinner. To quote The Terminator "We'll be back".

Good view across the valley to Mt Wellington, the hint was a great clue made the find very easy tftc

Got out of the car and followed the GPS to the spot, must have cleaned my glasses well as I had the container in 10 seconds, great hide, SL, TNLN, TFTC

Omg that was such a clever hide.

"She who must be obeyed" came this time but the cache was in hand before she had time to look Wish he'd wait a bit. Got the clue - obscure but correct. TFTC

after 20 mins worked it out!a small ting!!

Found it, Tiny little thing.

After half an hour of hard looking, finally found it. Very small.

Sunny afternoon walk with the geofamily, we spent a good half an hour and were ready to give up on this one - a muggle came up to us and indignantly asked what we thought we were doing - withing five minutes she too was helping us find it, and just as we were walking away, a ray of sunlight caught her eye! Tiny, tiny cache, the clue was indeed not overly useful, but we found it, signed the log and went on our way. TFTC!

went looking for this in my lunch break, but can't find it. there has been some work done around the area so maybe its gone.

Took a little while but eventually found it! A nice little find

Nice little find - helps to read owner's maintenance entry!

Nice little find - helps to read owner's maintenance entry!

The general location was found easily enough on a warm sunny afternoon. I searched hard (with a few breaks for muggles) but was unsuccessful and was ready to give up. Then I recalled the recent Owner Maintenance log saying that the cache was indeed there. Kept trying (from a different angle this time) and spotted a possible hiding place. Yes! that was the spot. The hint did not make must sense though. Thanks.

Just checked. Still there.

Looked hard but couldn't see it. Rang a friend, made adjustments.....still zero I will return with she who must be obeyed - perhaps that will help!!

I've not been on this street before, they are nice views indeed. I can't think where all the muggles would come from though? Thanks for the cache - a novel placement for such a wee thing!

Muggle central. Luckily I took my photographer friend from strahan for cover. Whilst she was snapping away at some lizards I sat down fairly much on the cache and retrieved it. Signed the log whilst swarms of tourists were over the barrier.

A quick find in the rain - and there were still views today !
Thanks for the cache, AussieCacheHunter !

Found with Ainstar and Scottymyth! Nice hide TFTC!

A quick find with kittykatR and Scottymyth! TFTC

Thorough search turned this one up - nice view tftc
