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.

Couldn’t find it after a good search. Most likely fallen under the spell of a muggle. T&B
Called for this one on the way to work but no luck and from the look of the past picture it is not there anymore.

My first night in Hobart since I was six years old - why has it taken me so long to come back to this beautiful, beautiful city. I like to go out on a run to get used to a new place and get a vibe for how the locals live. This was my first tasmanian cache, now I only have WA to go. Thanks for the hide.
First for the day. It was really peaceful this morning. But too much dew to sit and relax.
With a lot spare time before the flight tonight a trip through the city to Wrest Point and grab some caches, after looking in the tree I then looked elsewhere and there it was, nice one
Greetings from the USA! What a lovely placed geocache for my first Australian find! I wouldn't have seen the beautiful beach on such a gorgeous morning
Two Norwegian travellers on vacation/geocaching in Australia. Travelling by car from Brisbane to Adelaide with stops in interesting and not so interesting places. We have been travelling almost 5000 kilometers before we returned the car in Adelaide two weeks ago. Then we flew over to Hobart, hired a new car and will do a Tassie roundtrip the next 2 weeks. We have done the big highlights, Cradle mountain Nat. Park, the northern coast and the big cities. Today Bruny Island is our destination. Started from Richmond on a warm and sunny morning. The weather changes fast here in Tassie so who knows what weather we will have on Bruny Island.

After being thwarted by some kids who turned up when I was about to start searching last time, today it was quiet at GZ. It took longer to get the log out than it did to find the cache. TFTC
There is a beautiful little beach down the walkway worth looking at which I never new was there TFTC and leading me here
Came here in the afternoon for a scroll along the bench, we found this cache, a great park and church.
Thanks
Thanks
Once the roadworking muggles cleared up and went home, it was a very quick and easy find with a beautiful view over the bay on a glorious spring day.
A quick find in a pretty park overlooking a frequented by penguins and from which dogs are banned. TFTC
Find # 296
Staying nearby while competing in the Targa Tasmania, we decided to go for a walk with Missmash once the day's stages were over to get a couple of caches. This one was the closest so we tackled it first. When we arrived, the description indicated a probable location so we headed straight there. After a short search, we found the nice little hiding spot and had the log signed. Thanks for bringing us to a nice little piece of Hoabrt with a beautiful view. TFTC.

#2248. Found on a blustery afternoon just the Dawn Empress departed. Great idea. TFTC
Another nice view of the river and a walk down to the beach[^] How good is that after some foul weather days SL; replaced as found TFTC
Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
tucked up safely in snug we decided to head out to see what was in the area. Wow wasnt it a windy couple of days.
Lovely area for a cache.

Hi smiley bear; thanks for replacing the cache. This is a nice spot, and muggle free during my visit. I'll come back another day and wander down to the beach. Whilst its a familiar road, I was unaware of the beach/access! So, thanks for the hide here. It's nice to sit whilst signing the (new) log.

Replaced cache. Please don't remove just open and remove log. Log only, please BYO pen/pencil.
Spent a good amount of time looking over the seats but could not find the cache... Have to try again another day
Out for a stroll on a beautiful warm day in Hobart. Found this sneaky little one hiding. Log and cache in good condition. LS and TFTC. Very lovely vista from here. Beautiful walk from this chapel along the beach. Thanks for bringing me here, would never have found this walkway to the beach without your help, smiley bear.
Staying nearby and found this one after a brisk walk on a chilly morning in Hobart. Had trouble to get my fingers to extract log due to cold but what a lovely place TFTC
Found it while on a quick weekend visit to Hobart. Went for my morning walk and picked up this cache. A frosty but sunny morning...a real beauty. TFTC
Find #: 1,083
Companions: None
Muggles: Quite a few walking along the road
Weather: Cool autumn morning
Cache condition: Good
In Hobart for the annual rellie-visit I needed to pop out for a quick shop before we headed out of town, and decided to find a few quick caches (the advantage of being away from home, where I've found all the close ones!) I parked on the road and headed into the cute park, to find a young lady resting just where I needed to search, presumably mid-exercise. She had good staying power, so I admired the view for a while before giving up and returning to my car. At this point she got up and walked away, so I quickly returned to make a quick find. TFTC

Down in Hobart from Wollongong for the World Cup, Australia v Scotland. Liam and I dressed in Aussie tartan for the occasion, plenty of attention at the cricket and a write up in this morning's Mercury! For breakfast we decided to head down this way for the Beach House cafe, before a little caching thereafter.
This is why we love caching. Cute church but what a view. We would have driven past and missed the opp for some great photos. Thank you so much.
Unfortunately we're traveling without a pen, so I'm sending the CO a photo.
Found with Liam264. TFTC!

We found this one during our camper-van holiday in Tasmania.
Thank you for the Cache and greetings from Germany.

We went for the short walk from Wrest Point past the amazing houses along Sandy Bay Rd. Nice little park, in which we found the cache very quickly. We then headed downstairs to check out the vertical boat rack, and a friendly duck on the beach. Cheers!

After strolling around the city I unfortunately missed my bus and had to walk about 8 kilometres back to my host's house. And what do you do on a long hike? Look for caches. And fortunately their was one. So my way back home wasn't that bad at all.

Sat in this little spot for a few hours, catching up with a good friend. Explained the game to him- he was quite surprised when I pulled the cache seemingly out of no where! Hopefully I have converted him. TFTC!

There were several choices, but I just worked my way around and found the cache. TFTC.
GPS had us looking at the wrong one for a while, but then we realised. Nice limitless park with s good view of the river. TFTC!
Prefect weather day, drive to south coast loop from sandy bay to south hobart via taroona, margate, kettering, small towns, huonville, ferntree for light caches with geomum.. Lovely view sea ocean, easy short walk to GZ, nice hide very well as no trouble...

Out and about with whitewebbs finding caches that have been published since our last visit to the area.
Thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Out and about with Tassie Trekkers on a glorious day for caching. Took a seat and found a cache. TFTC.
We thought we found one here once before. TFTC smiley_bear
A route was worked out to walk in a circuit to four caches in Sandy Bay that avoided much time on major roads. It took us past some quite large old houses we hadn't seen before.
It took two attempts to do this today. Muggles like to chill here, even in rainny weather.
Just a quick find and a short break before moving on to the next. Looks like we've been following behind another cacher today.
TFTH!
TFTH!
Zop and I seem to be following behind another cacher today. I hope we meet up. I love impromptu meet and greets.
Heading to Sandy Bay for Orienteering event so decided to clean up this area before the event. Straight to GZ and put hand on the cache immediately. A very quick find today.

Another family day for geocaching. The Taroona foreshore walk sounded like just the thing on a beautiful sunny day. Two daughters, two granddaughters, a friend and her young son made up our group today. Daughter Lisa and granddaughter Ella stopped to collect this one on the way to Taroona.
Lisa sat down to ponder a likely hide, but young Ella had it in a flash. She said to thank Smiley for this cache.

Hello from France

An easy find, did our lurking tourist act, signed the log and off to find the next cache. TFTC
Some more caching to be done before midnight to increase my find count for the year.
Looked in all the wrong places before finding the right one. I suppose it helps if I were to use a GPSr....
Thanks for the cache

Found with UhuTirol on a beautiful evening for a walk. Suspect the cache has moved a little off GZ but still Ok. Thanks Smiley Bear for the cache.
Walked down to the beach first before looking closely at the GPS and glad I did. A very cute and peaceful little beach with ducks hanging around. Went back up the steps and wondered what the openings are for along the bottom of the steel hand railing. Maybe to let animals through? If anyone knows please log it. Cache easily found. Thanks smily_bear!
Quick find in the company of Choppers Rules. Been to this park before for geocaching, but I was unaware the puzzle that ended here had gone.
