I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, twobiggles58, requesting additional time.

An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing 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 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 twobiggles58 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 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.
Thank you

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

This cache is no longer

Was out for a morning of caching with Nutwood33 and this was our first stop. He had found it a few years previously but after quite some time searching we turned up empty handed. Think the attached image may have something to do with it...?

Caching with Friesianess and I recommended this cache as it was a clever hide. After Friesianess came up empty handed I also looked but could not locate it. I remember the cache quite well but location has changed.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Was it in the tree that has recently fallen down?

Hopefully we have better luck next time. Garden bed was full of rubbish and had our young kids so one for next time for us!

Last morning in Launceston before flying home to Qld. Decided to go for a jog on the northern side of town. A 11km route took me past 12 caches with 10 finds, 1 DNF and one with two many muggles. Thanks to all the COs for the excuse to get me out of bed instead of sleeping in. This one was an quick find

Found

Tftf log is full please replace

Getting away for a mountain biking trip with friends, we had planned on a holiday to Derby during 8-13/02/2022. For the most part, we spent our days MTB-ing Blue Derby (Black Stumps) trails, as well as riding Blue Tier Forest Reserve's trails, such as the upper section of Bay of Fires, Blue Tier and Atlas. There was an opportunity to find a few geocaches in Launceston before driving to Derby, and on our final day with our flight departure in the evening, we travelled back via Scottsdale and Lilydale, and visited a few spots around Launceston such as Cataract Gorge and Trevallyn Dam.

Today, with the majority of the group departing quite early back to Adelaide, it allowed a full day of heading back and checking out Launceston with our evening departure. We checked out Legerwood's awesome timber sculptures, before proceeding around Scottsdale and checking out a Bridestowe Lavender Estate. Other highlights including Tunnel's railway tunnel, and Lilydale waterfalls. After enjoying a Launceston bakery lunch, we then visited Cataract Gorge for a few hours (whilst completing *Launceston Cataract Gorge* Adventure Lab), walking along the gorge, and then proceeded to the lookout at Trevallyn Dam. Our final drive then took us to northern Launceston in Invermay, before checking out the City Park. A terrific day checking out this quiet Tasmanian city.

I was attracted to this geocache by the high volume of Favourite Points, so I had mentioned to my muggle friend that this would be a good one to visit. After a few minutes of searching around and then finding the cache, I could see the creativity of this cache, but perhaps over time, it has lost a little of its charm. The cache container was in good shape, but the logbook was full, and in need of replacement. Thanks twobiggles58 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Lovely little park, tftc (could use a new log book )

Thanks

Log full and damp thanks for the find

Found this one a while ago before I had premium, the geocache was very well hidden! TFTC!!

TFTC. Cache and contents are in good order, however log book is full and requires replacement.

Quick find after a visit to the museum nearby.

Lovely park and a fairly quick find on our holiday in Launceston. Thank you for hiding this cache for us!

TFTC! Nice I’ll hide in a nice park

Visiting from Townsville and continuing our anti-clockwise loop. St Helens to Launceston today with stops at the Lavendar Farm and Hollybank Adventure centre.

Thought I’d check out this highly favourited cache. Quickly found. I wonder if there was more to this when it was originally placed.

Thanks twobiggles58 for creating and placing this for us to enjoy.

Happened to be taking a rest after a long walk & thought I'd just check if there was a cache in this park... turns out it was directly behind me withon reaching distance. Love that!

At last I've been after this one for a long time TFTC

Brilliant hide, TFTC

Great hide!! TFTC not many muggles around in the rain lol

Wow! Well disguised! TFTC.

Very cool wall, I cut my hand finding this

Foubd with Ryan but not gonna lie I'm a bit confused about his hand story. Had to do a double take but then found this brilliant hide! Log is very full.

TFTC

Found before dinner in Launceston. We haven’t seen one of these before - cool!

Showed my girlfriend this cool cache, found it but parts are missing from what I remember. Might need looking into?

Found it

Quick find here. Very clever cache

Found it after bit of looking! Hint was useful and no need to trample the garden. And no agapanthas in the gardenbed anymore.

Tftc, took awhile but got it

Good spot

Not as hard as I expected from the rating. TFTC

Found on our Launceston holiday. It was now time to go to the footy! Got dropped off at the ground and blended in with the crowd as we made the quick find. What a lovely location. TFTC twobiggles58!

Took a while but ended up being both the first and last place I looked.

TFTC!

Easy find

Out and about for another day on the road in Tassie. There was no rain today but the wind still cold, so put on the coat and picked up only a few, as passing through the area. Stopped off and discovered some great find and the country scenery was enjoyable along the way.

Being cold, there were very few in the park, so this turned into a quick find.

Thanks twobiggles58 for placing the cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy the find.

A quick find, lucky the first place I look was a winner.

Out caching with D@geo
Thank you for the Cache twobiggles58

Found with gwd.aussie while enjoying a tassie caching adventure. Had just attended a James Boag brewery tour and noted this highly favorited cache. Even after a beer tasting the cache was quickly found by gwd.aussie

Thanks twobiggles58

Nearly overlooked this because it was too obvious. Looked again and there it was.

Well this was a DNF for us in January of this year, but today we hit pay dirt almost immediately. A really extensive search last time yielded nothing ............ we can't understand how we missed it other than to say that all the previous finders have said how sneaky etc. it was. Ended up being a bit of an anti-climax in the end. i am not being derogatory towards the CO (thankyou twobiggles58, because we do like your work), but one can be slewed by the logs of others sometimes. Thanks for placing this one here twobiggles58. I must say though that perhaps the cache container has become detached from its intended hiding device, as we found it just lying about, so to speak.

A thankfully quick find of Launcestons favourite cache! Definitely a lot of praise gone into the cache by previous finders, although it's been here almost 10 years now and beginning to show its age a little. It's not quite the Meyer Shop, but a nice little hide that pays respects to the big green shop over the road
Thanks for the hide.

Cache needs maintenance

I HATE YOU THQT WAS SOO GOOD

Nice one.
Not sayin nothin, just givin it a quiet fav.
Seriously twobiggles58, great cache. Thanks. [^]

This was my choice of where to find a cache today as it intrigued me that a cache could have 88 favourite points in the middle of a park in the city.
My curiosity was piqued and I ha to find the answer.
dalerious quickly located the area, and the cache container, but was tricked. I was the one who located the cache, added my signature, and another very well deserved favourite point.
That will add to the enticement of luring another caching team here to appreciate this cunningly contrived cache.

A trip from the N.W. to Lonnie for other purposes is definitely a chance to log a few foreigners. Mind you I'm not knocking 'em. We've found some good ones, and this one is obviously pretty damn clever, and today was not acquired ......... so a watch on this one until we have another chance. TFTC twobiggles58

Very well down FP from me

Spotted the cache quickly but took a little longer to find. Excellent workmanship
TFTC

Tftc

Nice hide thank you. A few goes trying to work it out.

What a fantastic cache! theOGT and I found it, another cacher knew we were going to enjoy this when we first arrived. TFTC

Favourite from me. TFTC

This is super clever, very cool I like it

What an excellent set up!

Found, after two attempts.

Following a few sessions of rollerblading, on separate occasions, the cache was found thanks to some assistance of a second pair of hands.

“Oh! So that’s why it had so many favourites. I thought it was that but I didn’t know for sure.”

The contents, container, and coordinates were all good

TFTC!

I love this. One of my all time favourites for sure. 7/26 for today

FOUND

Took a long time to find, loved it

AMAZING find, terrific idea for hiding - one of our best finds yet! Thanks

Found - very creative cache! Touched and inspected a couple of times and dismissed it before realising it was indeed the cache. Thanks heaps for this cache!

Getting a favourite for sure! Tftc

Found thank you

Well we have to say we had an interesting experience looking for this cache. Well our GPS led us to a giant big droopy branched fir tree and immediately we said "Wow" no wonder this has so many favourite points. We could see some skulls, a hat, some carved sticks and a tent but nothing was very clear as there were so many branches that we were looking through. We then had to find a way in, which wasn't happening easily. Mr EMC held back a few branches so chikinlittler could crawl in a bit being so tiny. He starts crawling in beside the tent and next minute he is saying "there is some fruit in here". "and it is real fruit". At this point we are wondering what on earth we have stumbled upon. Mr EMC decides to have a read of the cache description and we immediately realise we are not where we needed to be. We must have discovered some homeless / travellers campsite. Wow, what a sneaky place to camp indeed. But very prickly getting in. So we moved from the fir tree and went over to where we should have been. Looked at something first and then dismissed it. Looked about a bit more. Decided to go back to where I had first looked and upon a bit more of an investigation something looked a bit odd. Did more checking and finally had a log in hand to sign. Fantastic cache and more fun with the interesting start we had. I wonder how many others will do what we did. Thanks for showing us this park. Eatmorchikin from Brisbane.

Hi twobiggles58, decided to pop into the Worker's Park tonight after work it was a tad rainy but that ensured there were no muggles around. Thanks to very accurate coordinates I was able to narrow down my search and that meant a closer inspection of a very neatly camouflaged cache container. A really terrific hide and as others have said it fits into the environment very well indeed. Fav Point for effort here, logged with ease dry log and all good at GZ, thanks for adding to my hide and seek pleasure twobiggles58.

GPS a bit jumpy for us today but still a nice quick find. Very sneaky. Tftc

GPS jumpy for us but just widen our search and used a bit of geo sense and wasn't long before CIH TFTC

Very sneaky. And very clever. TFTC!

Found thank you for placing and maintaining the cache for our enjoyment.

Out for a rainy walk around Launceston, made a grab here. Willy grab a few here hopefully.


Fantastic hide. Well done.

Thanks for the cache.

Mud and Kim

found late afternoon, very creative and well hidden.

Smart location

Really crafty!

Super cache !!

Thanks twobiggles58 for The Workers' Park

I think we both looked and dismissed this as being a cache. After widening the search area we returned to where we began and found the very cleverly hidden cache. A definite favourite point heading your way.
Cheers twobiggles58

We like it when a CO puts some effort in to making their cache fit the environment. Definitely a Favourite Point from us & TFTC twobiggles58. Kutgw

Fairly quick find while waiting for the car.

Found with TaurusSix.

I like this one. Clever hide. And nice and quiet this morning too

Tftc, last finder left a pen on brick wall - thanks son of steel for the pen

With the current Cache Carnival event nearing its end and needing less than 100 more points to achieve the final souvenir, we decided on a bit of a whim to travel to Launceston and pick up a few up there. There were still plenty of caches that could have been found in our native Hobart, but we figured we might as well make a holiday of it!

In the end, between hanging out at City Park and exploring other parts of the city, we ended up making six finds, and easily surpassed our goal of 100 points.

This cache in particular first piqued our interest last time we were in Launceston, due to it's high number of favourites - must be something good, we thought. We didn't have time to head out to Invermay on that occasion, so we definitely had to have a crack at it this time!

It was actually pretty quiet when we arrived at the GZ - we weren't hindered by muggles at all, despite it being broad daylight. Between our GPSr being right on the money and the hints in the cache description, it didn't actually take long at all to track down the hide.

We were a little mystified though - what we found was a fairly typical concealment, right where we expected it, with nothing particularly sneaky or unusual about it. We can't really fathom why the cache has accumulated quite so many FPs. Our best guess is that it was at some point a quite clever hide, but that it has been poorly replaced and is no longer much of a challenge, which is a shame. We'd love to see where it should have been (assuming we're correct, of course!) Since we don't know it's intended placement, we had no option but to return it as found.

Still, a nice little park to explore, in a part of Launceston we don't get to much, so definitely a good spot for a cache!

TFTC!

Found this cache while on a day out with some friends, it took a bit of hunting around but eventually we found it cheers for a fun one

We are staying in Bridport for the week with our family and decided to attend the events that are in Launceston and Lilydale. We also realised that maybe if we attempt some caches with large favourites points that we may reach the last cache carnival souvenir.

Mmm....not sure if it was in the correct spot! Speaking to people at the event we believe that the cache is not in it’s correct location but we couldn’t work out how to place it so we put back how we found it!

TFTC

I had been reading the logs and saw all the FPs for this cache so was expecting something pretty special, and I certainly wasn't disappointed! Amazing cache! Many thanks for this very special caching find twobiggles58 and of course yet another favorite point is added.

Found the well constructed container, but early morning fuzzy brain wouldn't allow me to process how to find the log. Will be back with caffeine enhanced performance later.

Can't believe that I couldn't find the log book this morning! I'm going to blame the early morning light and lack of breakfast. TFTC and the amazing container. Fav pt given.

Ewe found it a great cache

Today was moving day for us, after a week in the northern parts we headed for Hobart. In true Carnival spirit we plotted a course which would give us the opportunity to find caches such as this with multiple favourite points, in an effort to earn the celebratory souvenirs.
The park was certainly a place for quiet contemplation, until the Hawks footy players flew in - fortunately just after we had completed our work at GZ and dropped in another FP for this cleverly designed hide.

Thanks to 'twobiggles58' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

Searched around for a while, even touched the cache once and not realising. Finally worked it out. Amazing!! So creative.

The geoboys and I arrived late in the arvo with no muggles on foot but plenty of the auto kind passing by. We set to work and after a bit of toing and froing I had zeroed in on the cache.

Well thought out and well deserved of a fav point. TFTC

This is brilliant
