Hi
This cache appears to have some problems. It is the cache owner's responsibility to read the logs and check the cache to sort out any problems with it and give an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find.
**The cache is being Disabled to give the Cache Owner an opportunity to investigate and fix the apparent issues.**
Once the cache is operational again, the CO should write an *Owner Maintenance* log advising that the promlems have been fixed, and to remove the *Needs maintenance* attribute (red cross) if that is showing on the cache page. The CO can then write an Enable log to return the cache to play.
If the cache cannot be fixed it should be archived.
**If there is no response to this log after 30 days the cache will be Archived.**

The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

I think it may be missing. Found the native cherry but no geo near it

Like others, looked all around the likely spots. Nice view, but no cache for me . I think it may be missing.

This weekend was spent on a caching trip up the East Coast with Porkchop6977, staying overnight in Swansea before returning home on Sunday afternoon. In total we ended up finding seventeen traditional caches, two mystery caches, one multi and one EarthCache. Unfortunately we also had one DNF - this cache.

We began the second day of our trip with a journey north to Bicheno. After stopping off at the blowhole, this cache was next on our agenda. We made our way up to the summit of the hill expecting some good views, and certainly weren't disappointed in that regard! We'd assumed that the cache wouldn't be too far off the track, but soon discovered that wasn't actually the case.

As a result, we started clambering our way down the rocks towards the GZ. Nearer to the location, we were presented with many possible hiding spots, several of which could have matched the hint. None contained the cache. A more thorough check of everywhere we could think of within a 15m radius revealed nothing. In all, we easily spent at least 30 minutes looking under every rock and shrub we could find, with no success.

We're inclined to think it's been muggled, but it's always possible it was just too well hidden for us. The recent run of DNFs does seem to be a bit of a clue that something's not right, though...

Still, lovely spot!

No luck with this one today.

Thanks

Great view tftc took TB 497HWE

We look a long time around, go up and down look under Stones and in Caves.
Sorry nothing. Greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

Gps would only get me within 14m of gz , plenty of boulders to search under but turned up nothing even after googling native cherry tree images.

We looked everywhere, and after looking at the hint, we found the exact place which fit the hint and coordinates, but it wasn’t there. There was a lot of trash and we can only expect that someone took the cache.

TFTC! Gotcha

Tassie Trip Day 152 - It was a day for just collection a daily again getting a little tied and sore from the walks but alas a find is needed so off I go again.

After visiting this one on arrival and a second try for GZ and expanding the search the hint made no sence to this geo cacher but after looking at all the possible spots in a range from the GPS out to about 6M it was decided that the cache was a DNF.

Thanks for the view Tardis.

Thanks for the cache Tardis. Out and about with RLD4963 on a weekend away up the East Coast, decided to grab some caches along the way. This was the first stop for today. We managed to find a nice little track and in a couple of minutes we were close to GZ, it was then a matter of find the 'path of least resistance' to GZ and then narrow down the cache's actual location. The cache was soon found, but no container, and the zip lock bag was worn and had some small holes that were only going to get bigger. In addition, the log was also pretty worn and full. For once we had some replacement parts so the existing plastic bag was placed in a a regular (1L sized sistema) container, and a small notepad in a ziplock bag was added to be used to continue the log. It was then time for soaking in the views and taking photos. So glad this cache was placed here - a beautiful place to visit with wonderful company. A favourite from me. Cheers.

If this is a terrain 2.5 i don't want to kniw what a 5 looks like in this country. That was some serious climbing. Log still wet

After wineglass lookout yesterday, we were not keen for another steep ascent but with a cache on offer we made an effort. Pen reluctant to write on damp log but did the best we could. Thanks for bringing us to this awesome location.

We camped nearby and found this cache after some search between rocks and trees, thanks for hiding and greets from dresden, germany

A great view over the township. The cache log was very damp and could do with a change.
This cache was hunted, tagged and released by activehunters tftc.

3:04pm

In town today after a morning at Natureworld for a look around.
Had some great seafood for lunch before putting on the hiking boots and taking a walk to the only 2 traditional caches in town, this one being the first.
Bit tricky getting to the right Gz as the pointer was jumping around a bit but managed to spot a suspicious and not so natural looking pile of rocks in a crevice.
Cache needs a bit of TLC, has been reduced to just a leaky ziplock bag and fairly damp and over full log that’s hard to write on.
Great views and walk though.

TFTC, Cheers.

This one took a bit of finding. Unfortunately the log is wet and very full so a replacement needed. Great area. TFTC

Log needs replacement - no space and very wet.

On our two month travelling trip through Austrialia, we are enjoying all the wonderful places and scenery. We will stop on the way to visit some nice caches as well. This one we could find.

Quick find after a bit of a scramble! Tftc.
Log needs maintenance, very wet after recent downpours of rain.

Had a very good look around but not to be seen, my GPS was being affected by something as well, couldn’t get a good fix. Did check every possible nook and cranny though - maybe next time

Found it! Now for a coffee and cake- I’ve burnt enough calories with that walk I feel I deserve it

Thanks for the nice spot. Tftc

Vom Strand sind wir hier zum Lookout gegangen, es wurde schon langsam dunkel und auch zum Regnen hat es begonnen. Den Cache haben wir einige Zeit gesucht, aber dann erfolgreich loggen dürfen. Schöner Ausblick und netter Weg hinauf und hinunter.

Found after a short scramble through the scrub. Only a log in a bag there.

TFTC

Great view from here which I had a rubbish bag and picked up some rubbish
Thanks for the cache.

Wow

If you look hard enough you will find it

First cache of the day, thanks for the view of Bicheno, TFTC

Thanks for the climb!!!

A chance to explore the lesser used of Bicheno's two hills. Cache is in need of some maintenance as there was no container and the plastic bag containng the log had some holes. Tftc

A quick walk this morning after arriving in Bicheno last night. Not too easy to find as the ap was playing up (is anyone else struggling since the last upgrade?). However once found signed and back down signs.
Thanks for the cache tardis

Terrain was difficult to climb but we got there eventually

Fabulous views once we climbed up onto the rocks at the summit. We could see the Blowhole doing its thing down below. We then headed for the coordinates and after much hunting we found the plastic bag with its logbook and other bits and bobs. We removed the muesli bar as food should not be left in caches as it attracts animals - especially when there is no outer container. Thanks for setting a cache to bring us here. SL. TFTC.

Killer views-and the museli bar was still date!left it for the next geocacher though.
TFTC!

Another lovely spot in Bicheno!

Thanks

Spent half an hour searching for second cache, no luck there. So signed in plastic bag under tree at 2mtrs. Thanks Tardis

Awesome cache, I think the last few people who found it found the wrong thing as there was much more ham a log in what I found, great spot though.
TFTC

Not sure about this found the log with one signature under a stone under the tree so we signed that?

A bit of a push upwards! However a good look down from very close. Orienteering tomorrow will be easier than finding this. T&B

We searched and searched but could not find the plastic bag. Pretty sure we were in the right place. We put another bag with a log under a stone by the tree because we did not want to go back to the UK empty handed. Hope that's ok. Thanks for bringing us here. it was a good place for a cache.

Hi there Tardis.

We found your cache **"Lookdown Lookout"** at 12:43:00 PM today. (This makes our grand total 18900).

We are camped at Bicheno for a while, and will use this as our base for some caching forays around the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our drive & ended up finding a variety of container types, and sizes. Our cache count was 5 caches today, with 0 DNF's.

Thanks for placing the cache here. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** There is no container, the damp log book and swaps are just in a bag.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Hi there Tardis,

RE: Your cache **"Lookdown Lookout"**

We are really sorry to report that the cache is missing its container.
It really needs some owner TLC as we didn't have anything with us to replace it with.
(If only we had read the previous logs).

Regards

Ian & Penny

After yesterday's washout in Bicheno,
I was back in better weather this morning

So a quick run up the rock was needed to warm me up

Up at the top,
I discovered that I had to get to a lower elevation.
Let the fun of scrambling around big, granite boulders begin [^]

It took me a while,
and a lot of scrambling around,
but eventually I found,
a cache and a smile

TFTC.

We found a plastic bag with the logbook. It's a very dirty place here. But the view over the bay is fantastic. TFTC

Found it today together with Rudolfonso. Had to look for a while but then found it. No container only a plastic bag. Enjoyed the views.
TFTC

Penguins *and* the cache! What a find! Thanks to the previous logger... I did not believe it when my son told me he saw penguins! How did they get here!

Got to 4 meters to the cache, found what we think is the hint, and were delighted to find something even better than a plastic container...two penguins!

Apologies for the late posting. I prefer to use my PC at home. With a little bit of time still up our sleeve we decided to try for a last cache before happy hour and dinner. We climbed up the track and that is where it all went pear shaped. Our reasons for the DNF are: Couldn't get the GPS to settle. Sooo many rocks and trees. And we had absolutely no idea what a native cherry tree looked like! So we scouted around several likely looking suspects but it was no go. Never mind, happy hour beckons!!

Found snakes and kangaroos and after climbing finally the cache

A tricky find tftc

On our way to Wineglass bay we took a little break at this stunning lookout! We also had a meditation on top of the rock! Thanks a lot to bring us here Lovely greetings, Maronski-junior!
Backpacking in Australia!

What a great lookout - we hadn't been up here before, thanks for bringing us here. Clue was needed, we might have been here awhile poking around the crevices left a purple dinosaur. tftc

it was climbing and clambering for a while, but the view made a good impression. TFTC

Good hide Logan boys Ray 351

Beautiful views. Easy find with cache sticking out. TFTC.

Another beautiful day with my beautiful geowife. TFTC

Nice big rocks and lovely views!!

Found the coordinates, found the place as described by the hint and found the remains of some youthful gathering right at GZ. Had a good look around and under but if the cache is but a ziplock bag I think it has perished.
A good look out and thanks for bringing us out here. The kids enjoy climbing on rocks and leave the caching to mum! So everyone happy. Almost.

Oops! Yay! I spoke too soon. The bag is still there safe from youthful muggle eyes. Found it. The mummy is happy too now. TFTC.

Quite a hard find. Jumped around the rocks for a while, and looked under every rock, but sadly, this cache eluded me.

A 2 week trip to Tasmania to see what we can see in that time and grab a some caches along the way. This is our first trip to Tassie so we have been looking forward to see as many of the places friends have recommended as possible plus seeking out a few of the special Tassie caches and drop a few of our pathtags as we go. We are sure we will enjoy what ever we see and find.

Day 6 - Coles Bay to St Helens
Took some time to find this one as we tried a couple of different approaches to GZ. Mr K eventually found the cache after much scrambling over rocks.
This could do with a new container ~ 400ml sistema is a future cacher has one to spare.

Thanks for the cache Tardis [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry .

Greetings from Western Australia

This was find # 1 of 9 and 0 today giving us a total cache count of 3497.

We spent the end of 2017 and the first couple of weeks of 2018 travelling in a camper van around Tasmania, finding plenty of caches along the way!

We looked at different approaches to the GZ and GeoHubby decided on a preferred one and went down to find the cache. It took a little while! But he was successful and brought the goods back to me to sign. He's an excellent GeoHubby!

Log signed and all replaced as found.

TFTC!

Tough little Hide. No container just a ziplock under the rocks.

Spending the first day of the year caching Bay of Fires region.
A short walk up here for the view before a coffee in the village
Thanks for hiding this one

Gut gefunden. TFTC

Great hike up to the lookout today although the view was a bit grey.
TFTC Tardis

Nice little walk up to the top. Found quickly. Signed log. TFTC.

Walk around the path with AddictedGamer, then followed the trail into and through the rocks. My iPhone was playing up, so went on geosense to make the find. Wasn’t expecting just a bag. But all in good condition. Tftc!!!

Quick find with good hint and coords. Was here many yrs ago for the original cache.
The ziploc bag and contents are all in good order. Good views over Bicheno.
Tftc Tardis...cheers ST.

Finally got around to doing some logging. Travelling around in Tasmania and grabbing some caches along the way. love this area.

Took a scramble around the rocks but couldn’t see the size container mentioned. Then read the last log and it seems to have gone missing. Should be checked by CO.
Thanks anyway.

Container is missing. But found the bag. Tftc

Holidaying with Dippa46 this week and enjoying the scenery and all Tassie has to offer and of course some caching to mark our journey. Quite a scramble but it paid off in the end. TFTC

Found it. On our holiday around Tassie. MazzyMay and I had an interesting time looking for caches on our travels. TFTC.

Found with zack717 nice hide TFTC

Finally knocked this one off the list. Thanks.

No luck today for us. Gps jumping around.

Found it easy another! What an amazing view!! TFTC!!

Feeling tired and spent too long looking on this granity surface. B1 bent brand new glasses. But SL. TFTC.

What a fantastic view. Bit of a strain on way up. Tf tc

Found It! Worth looking for some of the other caches in the area.

Pretty hard to get to since it was raining, but it was all good after that. tftc

Easy found after breakfast on the top! Tftc

Thanks for the find, bit tricky with GPS playing up. Got there in the end

Gevonden op onze rondreis op Tassie.

That was a good workout for 2 oldies. Great rocks. TFTC

I had seven great days in Tasmania. Beside of enjoying the beautifull countryside I also made some geocaching and found a lot of great spots out there. This was one of it.

Thanks to Tardis for hiding and maintaining this geocaches.
