Logs
Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.
Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).
If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###
----------
I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**
Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.
If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by **28th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:
- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.
- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 28th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache on the basis that it has been abandoned.
Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Last one to attempt on the trail, now having completed a whole loop.
Unfortunately did not find, but knew it was unlikely due to all the recent logs, and did not search for long.
Hopefully have enough data to make an attempt at the final.
Thanks for the cache!

Am 15. Tag unserer Australienreise legten wir die Strecke von Maitland nach Kempsey, wieder mit einigen Zwischenstopps zurück. So konnten wir auch hier fündig werden

This has got to be one of the nicest areas to go geocaching in. We have friends living nearby so we were very happy to see this trail with a great selection of caches. It was not too hot so we trecked the ups and downs and even saw 2 dolphins frolicking in the shallows as we continued with our cache hunt. There were a couple in the series that we think are missing. Thanks to subi-two for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. 
TFTC. Heat has gotten the better of us today so we decided to skip some and grab lunch. This means another trip to Nelson Bay to finish this awesome series!
If the Gothics used 'buttresses' like this there wouldn't be any Gothic churches standing. Paltry! Nice location though. TFTC.
We are off on our bikes to work on the trail today after two very windy days. Today it is a bit lighter so we decided to give it a go. So far so good.
Between the last one and this one we stopped at a cafe for some lunch. A shared yiros with some great coffee. A fitting reward after bike riding and hill climbing.
A short ride on and we found this cleverly hidden fellow.
Only one left to go.
Let's hope the few DNFs do not effect the coordinates of the final.

I came up from Sydney last night and stayed with a good friend in Elermore Vale so I could get a early start up to shoal bay for a day of caching on the power trail.
So here I go. Let's see what I can find today. All caches that I found were in a good condition there were lots of logs in many of them and finding where to sign in order was not always easy.
I love the day of day it did take hours and lots of walking. Tonight will be a early night back at Elermore Vale with my dear friend and some reds. Thanks for the effort you went to to place all these caches and to maintain them.
I notice that I'm now following JJ Batman and Team heart.

Before heading to Sydney we took the opportunity to hike this trail which led us thru the forest and part of Shoal Bay.
It was a pleasant walk with a few ups and downs, didn't meet much folks out there.
Luckily we found all caches except those already logged as DNF by other cachers and the bonus whose coordinates can't be determined as some numbers / caches are missing.

Ms Atalanta and I are on a brief sojourn to Nelson Bay so naturally a walk involving Geocaches is part of the deal. A nice easy one in this case. TFTC.
Scouted around the wrong tree for the bit then realised I needed to follow my geosenses. Tftc. Have put some banksia men in front of it for camo as was a bit exposed.
Quick find, found a little while ago and forgot to log! TFTC Follow me on Instagram @treasure_hunter905 
Another one bites the dust! Council people everywhere trimming trees etc but cache was still an easy find. TFTC JenneG and Budgy
As we planned our trip to Newcastle, a lot of this nice round in Nelson Bay. Today we went on a very hot day with our bicycles and could find containers for containers. Unfortunately we had DNF's at No. 4 and No. 25 to No. 28, so we could not determine the bonus. 
Too bad, would be nice if the round was complete again.
It was hot and with the bicycles the route was not easy, but the environment was nice and varied. Great views of the sea and the birdsong accompanied us constantly. [^]
**For numbers 1 and 35 give it a favorites point.**
> Thank you very much for the containers of the Moorhelmi's from Germany.

First find in this series for me. Hopefully I get the rest in the next few days while staying in Shoal Bay.
