I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, smiley_bear, 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 Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.

The cache owner needs to:
* Investigate the situation and either restore the cache, or address any other issues, such as correcting the D/T rating if necessary.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done, and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.

Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary, or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this, that is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.

Alternatively:

* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.

In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by smiley_bear and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*

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

Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

Searched high and low for this one but no luck. ️ Would suggest it needs checking.

tassietan and I looked everywhere for this cache without success.
Sadly, I think I lost one of my favourite earrings whilst having my head in places not designed for heads.

6 people spent a bit of time looking. No luck today.

Most likely gone. Couple of muggles hanging around so didn’t look for long
 
24-Jul-21
Three people crept around on hands and knees, and craned their necks around a billion angles trying to find it.

Looking forward to giving this one another go, some other time.

Today we had a spot of paintball and a barbecue lined up in celebration of a birthday, but naturally we figured we'd take the opportunity to pick up a couple of caches along the way...

Said barbecue was actually held at Pioneer's Park, so naturally we had to track this one down while in the area! Arriving at the GZ, it was immediately obvious there were plenty of places it could be hiding!

We started our search in a particular corner that the GPSr was pointing to, but a five-minute search turned up nothing. Fortunately though, after moving the search a little further afield, the cache was soon in hand.

Thanks for a fun hide in a beautiful spot!

Out for a quick cache run with FWBs, so this was the first of 20. Taking us through Richmond, Sorell and Midway Point before heading home. Now here is a rear occasion, where FWBS had done this one a few years ago and I had not. Interesting bridge design.

Found on my travels around Tas over the Xmas / New Years break.
Was in need of a “pit stop” as I made my from Dunalley to Hobart, and before jumping back in the van and on my way again, a quick search on the app showed this cache close by. So close I couldn’t resist the short walk to go find it. There seems to be many of these wood carvings around Tas. Very impressive indeed, not only to have the vision of what you could do with such a lump of timber , but also the skills to shape it into a sculpture as such.
Didn’t see anyone else about today so made the search an uninterrupted one so all quick and easy.

TNLN, Cheers.

In Tassie with family doing a short trip around this lovely island. We saw some amazing scenery, wildlife and visited some beautiful places while touring around in our motorhome. I took the opportunity to stop and grab any caches when we could stop. We only had a few DNF's and made some good discoveries and clever hides during the trip. We had some fun and laughs along the way.

Stayed in town over night so got up early and was rewarded by making a quick find at GZ, while out on the bike before leaving this pretty area.

Thanks smiley_bear for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

A nice stroll with the kids, ate some nice fruits growing wild near the river = yum. then found the cache, however could not sign log as it was wet as can be as not kept in snaplock bag at all! did not have paper on me to replace wet logbook. TFTC but needs upkeep.

Tassie Trip Day 94 - Today was a shopping day and a visit to a couple of cache to hopefully clear the Sorell caches and almost all have been finds however today we found all but one and got some more information for an ongoing multi.

This was an easy find and a quick one after the small walk to the GZ it was really nice walk.

Thanks smiley_bear for the placement and showcasing the area.

Stopped nearby for morning tea, so of course I had to take the opportunity to grab another cache on our way south towards Dunalley. Last time we were here, we camped at the Football grounds working for BlazeAid - 5 years ago. Good memories. A quick find and after signing duties were completed, I added a PT then returned the cache to its hidey hole. TFTC smiley_bear.
 
Nice little walk down by the rivulet for a fairly straightforward find by geo-partner. TFTC!

More of a small than an XS. There is room for a path tag or two. Great, relatively new walkway along the creek. TFTC!
