HBT Stormy Welcome Battery Point, Tasmania, Australia
By AINSTAR, scottymyth on 20-Oct-12. Waypoint GC3Z1HJ

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, AINSTAR, 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 Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO, AINSTAR.

The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 30 days to see if either

- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken

**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Thank you

Long list of DNFs,, needs checking.

No joy here either

Looks like this one might be missing

Couldn’t find it

Picked a bad time to be milling about on the track. Right on peak hour with many muggles heading home from work or out for their evening cycle. No luck today

Seem to be missing !!

Another i couldn't find anywhere.
The obvious spots and the not so obvious spots either.

Another quick find in Tasmania

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

What should have been a quick find eluded me today, nothing there where hint suggested.TFTC.

A quick and easy find

Nice hide, thanks. Loads of cyclists zipping by, grinning at me. They know. They're watching.

TFTC! A very busy place this one. Still nice to find another along the cycleway while on foot!

Thanks

Time to stop and put lotion on as the day is heating up.

Thanks AINSTAR, scottymyth for HBT Stormy Welcome

After our event in Salamanca we headed out for a big walk to pick up 12 caches. We also added in fish and chips, a Devonshire tea and a few beers. All in all it was a super day out caching! We walked 15kms and did 15k steps so that cancels out all the poor food choices we made.
Enjoyed the quality of caches we found today and hope to one day return to Tassie to get some more caching done.
Another quick find on the bike trail exactly where the hint said it would be. TFTC and series

Another quick find by another great view.

The hardest part about this one was trying to find a comfortable place on the recently mown slope to sign the log!

TFTC!

TFTC. Kids loving the series

Maintenance run...all in good order!

Fun trail. TftC.

Quick and easy find.

A nice quick find. Just the way I like them.

Relevant title for this one! TFTC!

Nice easy find which completes the evidence for me for the Who Stole The Jewels challenge. TFTC!

Easy to find with the hint. TFTC.

Found it

Hello again AINSTAR the last of the quartet attempted this morning and this was the third one found. An obvious hide had us logged within a short while and back to the car for us. All good and dry at the hide, thanks for our hide and seek pleasure.

Last cache for the day.

Many cars at the street but not so many muggles. TFTC

Quick spot but had to wait for all the muggles to clear off! Pretended to play on my phone for a bit then made the grab. Tftc

Things were rapidly spiraling out of control after a relatively healthy and sensible mornings sightseeing. By pint #3 at the New Sydney I recognised that we would not last if we kept that up so decided to set out for a walk. I'd spotted a lovely looking stone 'castle' up here on a hill earlier in the day so I was really keen to get up there and have a gander and maybe have a coffee at the cafe there. turned out there was no cafe, the governor was home and not feeling hospitable, and soon enough we were shown the nearest exit.
Anyhow, this little series of caches kept us going for a while and got my geosenses tuned back in. The view of the bridge was great from this spot, but i felt very exposed capturing the geostash. I had to time things just right between passing cyclists and cars. Cheers for the fun and getting us out here by the water scottymyth

Tassie Trip Day 100 - Well it was the finish of the super maxi's in the sydney to hobart so after getting breakfast down it was on the bike taking the quick trip to the harbor to see the boats come in but arrived a little late but saw three boats cross the finish and one boat already getting configured to enter the port. It was a nice day and a great way to start the day and after seeing some boats make there way into the dock it was time to head back and collect some caches along the way back to the camp ground with a trail along the way to collect.

Arrived at the GZ and soon found the cache and left that mark for the log and returned it to the all important palce from where it came

Thanks AINSTAR, scottymyth for placing this series for us to find.

Lovely day for a stroll along the waterfront heading towards the Tasman Bridge. Cache an easy find as spotted a little something a little out of place. Log quickly signed and secreted away as power walking grannies approached.. thanks..!!

TFTC!

While visiting from Ohio on the *Viking Orion,* I hopped on my folding geobike for a ride along the bike trail early in the morning. I started to look in all the wrong places for this one until noticing that comment about the hint being in the name. After that I had the cache in hand in just a few seconds!

Thanks for the cache Ainstar

Found while visiting Hobart from Vancouver Island Canada on the cruise ship Noordam. TFTC.

Great description. Found by Strongy

Today, we decided to make our way to a plant sale being held at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Part of the attraction was the opportunity to buy some plants for the garden, but the real reason to go was for the opportunity to pick up some caches along the Intercity Cycleway.

This was the fourth of five caches we found between the Regatta Grounds and the RTBG. We originally missed this one on the outbound leg, due to discovering a mother duck and eight ducklings just down the path. We watched in suspense (and with a little trepidation) as they slowly made their way away from the busy road, and (thankfully all in one piece) waddled their way across the bike path and train tracks to the water. Was definitely a sight worth seeing!

Having successfully been distracted by the extreme display of cuteness, we walked on another 100m or so before we realised we'd forgotten to keep track of our location. Rather than double back, we elected to pick up the cache on the return journey.

Fortunately the cache was easily located when we returned. As mentioned in the description, the hint truly is in the title!

TFTC!

Found! TFTC!

G'day AINSTAR, and scottymyth - thanks for the cache and the series; and thanks membsec for the maintenance.
Can't believe we rode past this one, despite ready the welcome sigh!
A nice quick find with the hint, once we got back to GZ.
#1032 @ 1515hrs Saturday 14th July 2018. Happy Bastille Day!

Today we (JnrEP & I ) parked below the NW corner of the Tasman Bridge, bicycled over on the northern side, snuck along the track under Rose Bay, then around Rosny Point, a late lunch near Eastlands, back over the bridge (south side), back towards the domain a little and then back to the car. An enjoyable outing on a cold wintery day, with 8 finds and 2 DNFs.

The clover brought me luck and only one big step to GZ. Ignoring the cars driving by I was able to sign my name in the log book. TFTC

This has been the best cache I've found. Very sneaky, love it!

Bit hard to do subtly but got it. Tftc!

I noticed this little trail in my geomap as I’m visiting from Brisbane and I’m so glad I went for it. Such stunning locations and nicely hidden geocaches. TFTC!

Omg. Almost lost it. Thanks from Canada Signed as SM09

Number 3. Picking up pace

Quick find. TFTC

Just take a walk and knew quick where it has to be. Just sat down waited for a few muggles and got it.

Nice view! TFTC

Did a full maintenance run on the HBT series today for geo-daughter and son-in-law. All good with this cache.

Well I found a geocache here. Nicely tucked away.

Lovely night for a stroll... TFTC

Found on our holiday to Hobart. A nice easy find at GZ - very nicely named! TFTC scottymyth and AINSTAR!

Found today on a lovely sunny day. Had to act quickly between muggles on the track whilst looking inconspicuous to the constant stream of muggles driving by...luckily I am excellent at being invisible! Thanks for the original placement Ainstar and scottymyth, and extra special thanks to membsec for their recent maintenance run on this series.

tftc loved the hint sadly no trade but put one in

The name was enough of a hint to find easily nice shot... tftc!

After not finding this one a while ago, we searched again today. Once at GZ a quick easy find. Felt pretty conspicuous with the cars passing right next to us but they wouldn't have any idea about what we were doing. TFTC

My 4th find for the day whilst on my way in town for the Taste Of Tasmania [^]
A quick find with no whizzy Muggles flying by at the time of the find and re-hide SL at 10:45 on Fri. 29 Dec 2017. The nice new fresh replacement logs are good and dry [^] TFTC AINSTAR

All good with new cache and log. Thanks to membsec.

Completed a maintenance run along the HBT Trail today for Scottymyth and Ainstar. Replacement cache and log now in place.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a Reviewer Note here (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

We had no luck here today. Surely the CO needs to come and do some maintenance along this picturesque walk
