LIPT No. 20 Lake Illawarra, New South Wales, Australia

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Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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.

Cant find it. Looks like it may have floated away when flooding. Also alot of trees cut down

Not found in two years. Please do the needful.

Area has been disturbed so guess it no longer here.

It’s gone

Not here

We looked for ages. Definitely not here. Onto the next one.

Think it missing.... some one who has previously found it was with us

Came with a previous finder of this cache... it's gone, needs maintenance

All gone

Searched area with 6 people no luck

Thought we would check but no luck for us

Nah

Has not been found for a while. Possible logs it could be in have fallen apart. Looked up and nothing.

Found this one on the 17/8/17
But totally forgot log
Thank goodness for my Geo Partner

Log has fallen apart

To tricky for me

?

DNF. Please check Tadpole and we will return

Couldn’t find

I did not find it I had a group of 5 people and we spent about 2 hours looking for it.

Hmm too tricky for us!

DNF for me...

No luck

Couldnt find

To hard

Tftc quick find with geo friend

3 for the day so far

While doing some caches around this area we thought we would put a few of the LIPT series caches on the list for the day. Each was a good find and added to our caching experience. The logs all had our name noted on them and were returned back to place before we left. Tadpole7 gets our thanks for being a part of this lovely series around Lake Illawarra.

Tftc quick easy find, had no pen so I didn't write in it

Arrived last night from New Zealand. A gentle morning bike ride before heading off to the Australian MTB orienteering champs at Wingello.

TFTC

We set out to do this powertrail today on the bikes - I thought it was about 30k total but we ended up doing about 45k, and cutting off a large part of the last third or so. I didn't realise that there is no 'nice' way up the western side - not fond of cycling alongside the freeway!

Another quick find on this one.

TFTC

Did not have a pen. Lovely view of the island

TFTC great view couldn't sign didn't bring a pen

Tftc

The hint helped

Found!

Found my fourth one! Went on a lovely little walk to find it

Found it

Needed to kill some time while waiting to get some scans done so figured caching was the way to go. Found the area quite easily but spent the next 2 minutes searching possible hiding spots before cache was in hand. Signed the log then set off to find nearby caches, after travelling 100m I realised I had put my keys down while signing log so back I travelled.
Great location for a cache

A nice quick find near the rather well set up "road system". Thank you.

Found it, smaller than expected...

Nice hint thank you for another good hide. My geo wife has found a new spot to take the kids for a bike ride

I found a teeny weeny replacement cache so I added one the more suites the recommended size,
No crazy drivers here today
TFTC !!

Good find we did it at night so pretty happy we managed to find it .

Thankfully these goe kids have good eyes! TFTC

Didn't think the "GeoGirls" (HappyUke & Halcyon123) and I would get a day in these holidays due to my trip away - but luckily the stars aligned for us to squeeze this one in right at the end! Unfortunately those same stars did not look with favour on our hunting, with a higher than usual rate of DNFs and DNBs (Did not bothers!). It was still a lovely day out - love being out and having a laugh with these two <3

Found! Not a sistema anymore - now an XS IMEC container, TFTC

The gang (Halcyon123, Nacki22 and me) got together again for a raid on the Gong caches. We found nine but disappointingly had quite a few DNF's. We had a wonderful day anyway... some lovely walks, lots of talks and a good belly laugh.

This was our eighth for the day. We were expecting a small but found an extra small. Loved the bike track nearby... it had everything for kids to practice their road safety, it even had traffic lights! Thanks

Out on a caching day with happyuke and nacki22. Love the bike track nearby. Will definitely be bringing the geokids here. Container a lot smaller than we expected. Definitely an XS. Tftc.

Found our 1st one!

Found it

Quick find! Id say an xs this one!

Well hidden!

Farmers friends attacked us!

We were looking about 5m away for a while before gps sent us to the cih. TFTC!

Great clue!

Thanks to whomever replaced this cache!! Definitely smalller than a sistema container as in the description.

Nice little one for the geokids. Love the nearby road safety learning area

Love the track!

Nice find with nissan 65. Beautiful still morning. Thankyou for the cache

Found with cullum68 on this lovely morning thanks for the cache

Searched but not here

Dnf

LoL..disregard my found it post.. this was definitely a DNF! Searched for ages, got eaten my mozzies but no luck, helps to make sure I've clicked the right thing before posting

Eaten alive by mozzies but no cache

We did it but could not find we don't think there's box there we think it may of been taken

This cache hasn't been found for nearly 6 months,we tried on a few occasions with no luck.....

Have searched for this twice- lots of mozzies- no cache.

No cache

Had a quick look, no luck. Lots of dnfs

Searched high and low. Can not find

Looked all over for this one. No luck

I was hoping after SueDan83 had found this I might be in luck, but sadly no joy for me.

TFTC

DNF

CO may want to check this one alot of DNF's
Thanks

We think we found the location, but I think it may have been muggled
Thanks

I think this might be taken

Lots of rubbish and spiders. Looked for ages

Didn't find, just lots of rubbish there. Could have been ransacked or possibly washed away by a high tide as it's very close to the lake shore.

Signed back in to the gc website. Backlogging a majority of finds over the last year. Started my own account and it's time to sync it out. To avoid confusion I wont change the date logged. Send me an email (via profile link) or a message in the message centre (also via profile link) if you have any concerns.

TFTCs

No luck either, needs a check.

We looked and looked and just weren't able to find this one!

We couldn't find this one, huge spiders and a rusty saw.

I had no luck here today.

Looked in all the spots where you think it should be and some others but this one had us stumped.
Great hide cause we did not find it.
Will return

Found with kittycakess and lil james

Keep ur eyes open look at the dogs walk past that go BARK!!!!!

One of two DNF's for Davaura Inc and myself today.. Cool bike safety track nearby though, even if i broke every rule as i rode over it :p

Found it really good hiding spot

Thought I'd have a look even thou prior logs had not found it. No luck, checked around GZ but sadly I think it's gone

Had a good look but couldn't find it team corny

Yet another dnf

Had a really good look round, lots of great potential but sadly nothing to see

DNF think it may have been muggled

Found it easily and replaced it with a new logging sheet
