It looks like the pooches have finally run free and are not coming back again
###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.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Investigate the situation and either restore the cache, or address any other issues, such as correcting the D/T rating if necessary.
* 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 TiedyeSmileys 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 be 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.
Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.

Rode past here on the wrong side of the fence, so we walked the bikes in for a closer look. No luck for us today.
Well this is a great area for a 4 legged friend, unfortunately I don’t have one.
I soon found the cache and was sitting down doing the logging business and all of a sudden I had 5 new 4-legged friends. All wanting to jump on me , some were wet from swimming. The cache certainly lives up to its name. The owners came and apologised and we had a quick chat patting the furry fiends, whilst I pretended to be playing on my phone (without any pooch of my own).
Once they disappeared, I returned it and left. It’s an awesome piece of work for a cache.

Looked for 30-45 minutes with no luck, hopefully it is still around will check again in a week or two
First time geocaching, unfortunately did not find. Wasnt sure what sort of radios to search in. Polish, I'm thinking pole, but I may be way off the mark.
First time geocaching, tried looking yesterday and came back again tonight. Guess I’ll try again tomorrow
Took us a while, but finally found it, great hiding spot and totally love the cache itself, hint def helped
An other great geocatch by tiediesmiley
This geo fan put some serious effort in the catches!
Thanks from the geo militia team jo canesciolto + volcom

Found with @ Michelle Mics. Thousands of mozzies tonight. Scratch scratch. Best hint so clever.
Suggested maintenance: No more space left to write on log sheet. One more line left. Log sheet to be replaced.
Great little cache, our dogs would of loved this park, missing the little fellas.
Great area for dogs to play. Was very impressed with the way it has been set up. Acres of room for dogs to run free, all within the confines of high fences and gates. Loved the cache container. It was very appropriate and well constructed. TFTC
Out and about the other day managed to locate this one, unusual packaging.
Signed and returned.
Signed and returned.
How do you say "busting for a wee" in polish?
Too many muggles and no toilet nearby.
Had to call it quits after searcjing fence line.
If I had a dog I would bring it here.

What a great find! Our first for Darwin. Took us a little while as the heat was getting a bit much for us. But soon Mrs A put everything together.

Too many muggles with their puggles off their leads to even give this one a try. Maybe next time we are in Darwin. We were here 16 years ago. Hope we get back soon!!!
Now visiting Darwin after the Red Centre Experience. 
Drama,drama that's all that seems to follow us at the moment. [xx(]
Having moved closer to the city, today Mr Felix had to return to the Palmerston Post Office to collect our missing mail. Just had to stop for a few caches along the way though.
Enjoyed this one. Fave point awarded.

What an amazing cache. We loved finding this one. The log is in good condition. TFTC
#7058 - 14:50; Day 20 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965, so signing logs as A.L.F.S. We had now reached Darwin, our most northerly port, after attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs. After a night in a cosy bed in an airconditioned room were were up and out early for a day of caching in and around Darwin. Managed 37 finds, but an eye watering 10 DNFs. Not sure what the obsession with nanos is in this part of the world. Cachers going a bit troppo maybe? All caches located were in good order, including this one. Took a stroll over to this one from our previous find and even encountered a couple of pooches running free. TFTC TiedyeSmileys 
Alice trip 2017. Day 18. Today Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I spent the day caching in and around Darwin. For a southerner it was a hot sticky day. Plenty of caches with lots of DNFs but at least it did not rain.
Thanks.

13513. Next find of Day 10 of the Red Centre Experience Roadtrip. In Darwin.
I flew into Alice Springs to meet up with my caching mates Sol de Lune, Albida33 and LuckyL10n (signing mostly as ALFS) to attend the Red Centre Experience and then venture up north to Darwin and then east into Qld before heading south for home - a three week caching trek.
Next stop for the day. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and it was off to the next cache.
TNLN - TFTC !! Nice Container !

Day 2 of our (fitzy_1965, LuckyL10n, albida33 and myself) stay in Darwin. It was a mixed bag of a day with about 42 finds, but also about 30 DNF or DNA because of the DNF's, but or course you get that somedays.
The ones we found were a mixture of micro's and small and a lot were in interesting places. Caching in the NT is different to the southern states, so a day of 40 odd is a good return....especially with a bit of sightseeing thrown in as well.
Thanks for all the caches owners and the fun in grabbing them.

What a cute find, it took a while but when we polished up our Polish he came running
Thanks! Great 2nd find!! And the history of the dog - son was excited to find it was an old army camouflage kit!
Yet another awesome tds cache. Love every one of your caches we have found so far 
Did not find last time. Was my first cache ever. This time found it instantly...geosense is developing!!
Weer een dagje afgesproken met ons nicht je. Vandaag gaan we met haar een stukje lopen Door het park met haar honden. We staan natuurlijk aan de verkeerde kant geparkeerd maar we lopen wel even een stukje om.
Ondertussen is nichtje bijna gevlogen maar we zijn nog net op tijd om met haat een stukje te lopen in het gedeelte waar ze los mogen lopen. Er zijn nog meer honden die gezellig met elkaar spelen en af en toe komen ze even kijken of wij er ook nog zijn.
Nadat nichtje is vertrokken even op de GPS kijken waar de caches precies liggen, we hadden gezien dat er 2 in dit park te vinden zijn.
Gelukkig, we zijn er vlakbij maar deze is al menig keer niet gevonden. Ook wij hebben er wel moeite mee maar hij kan niet al te moeilijk verstopt zijn volgens de gegevens. Dan blijft er maar 1 plek over waar we al wel gekeken hadden maar nog eens proberen. En ja, nu vinden we de cache wel.
Even de naam op de logrol en we kunnen op naar de andere cache in het park.
Bedankt voor het plaatsen van deze cache.
Groet team Geo Burgt.

We came to check out the dog park - can't wait to bring our pooches they are going to love it. Geohubby found this after a read of the hint - very nice and a favourite point from us for a good hide and a sensational location for the geohounds.
Today we explored Palmerston and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. Lovely run for the pooches enjoyed the walk to GZ love the container, adding to our favourites.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

We love doggies and our grand puppy back in Sydney would love this place. We speak Polish and gave you a fav point for the awesome cache holder. TFTC
GZ proved unevental after looking at recent finds this cache has been unfounded for quite some time. Owner needs to confirm that cache is still active
