I can not see a needs maintenance log on this cache,
From the [Help Centre,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=57)
>If you find a geocache that is in need of some help (e.g. container is cracked, logbook is full or wet), please post a "Needs Maintenance" log on the cache page so the cache owner and the community is notified. This log adds an attribute to the page (looks like a colored cross) to alert other geocachers of the needed repairs. Logging Needs Maintenance does not increase find count. Needs Maintenance logs are not forwarded to reviewers.
and from the [Archive help centre article](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=56)
>Please use this log only when there are serious problems with the cache or its location. Do not use it if the cache needs repairs, or you didn't find it, or the location made you uncomfortable. Please consider first contacting the owner of the geocache with your concerns. Use the profile link next to the cache owner's name at the top of the cache page to send an email, as well as logging to the cache page about your visit.
If you have no response from the cache owner after 30 days then I'd suggest using a Needs Archive Note. Except for in the most extreme cases, it's normally best to give the cache owner a chance to fix the issue before alerting the reviewers.

This one is definitely gone the owner is no longer active and there has been multiple dnf's here. This spot could be great if the owner was prepared to look after it
Im pretty sure this one is gone as my coords were 16m off and the tree I think it was supposed to be in doesnt have much "hiding space" Im also fairly sure this owner has left the game
Despite searching every tree within a 15m radius of GZ, I failed to find this one.
I was wondering where this boat ramp was going to be so I was surprised to see this ramp in the creek. A nice little spot. The coords had me in the middle of green space but it was obvious where the cache would be. As others have mentioned the container is broken but the log was still dry. The coords were about 14m off for me but still an easy find. Thanks for bringing me here.
A sneaky boat ramp to a hidden creek. This area would have been gold if I knew about it as a kid. Geodaughter was walking around looking for some skanky Pokemon while I walked up to the waters edge and saw plenty of small fish. tftc
Well I wouldn't have known there was a boat ramp in the area. Good to file away for future reference. Found the container and as others have advised the container is broken and has yet to be repaired. Did find a dry log for signing. TFTC The Sumner Family
Off with our list in hand and geo dogs in toe found this perfect beauty quick and easy needs to be fixed broken case in half log was wet in past dry now please fix
Found a cool mushie in an open field right near this cache. The geopups have loved todays little trek too. Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache.
Cache container is busted, half a lid, bag is holed, and whilst log has been wet in the past, it is dry now, but will not stay that way. Locals obviously know it is here. May need a re-think on location, perhaps....
Well, had been here before, but did not have adequate footwear to go wandering across the long grass, so chickened out.
Today, looks like the grass has been mown/burnt down. But much shorter, and I had the right footwear!
On to GZ and a quick find, though the cache is still in disrepair. Cache container is busted, half a lid, bag is holed, and whilst log has been wet in the past, it is dry now, but will not stay that way. I will log a separate NM to CO shortly. Signed and fixed as best I could. Looks like locals have a drink here from time to time. TFTC and showing me the boat ramp too.

Thanks for the find but needs maintenance badly, actually dangerous in current condition. My four year old found it lucky I opened the lid as a massive spider has been using it as shelter, dangerous because geocache is smashed and open to weather, log book mouldy
Found with lilpil, cache smashed to pieces.. Logbook soaking wet, really upsetting to see. Either way thanks for the cache, beautiful area
right decription .... but a lot of shooting around . checked also on that boat ramp . thanks .
Found it by good luck as GPS not at all good! Lid was open & things had fallen out. It was lying exposed in the middle if the tree so lucky. Have hidden it better with lid secured. TFTC
Grabbed while in the area looking for a nearby GCA cache. Not problems with the cache....log is a little damp but certainly nothing that stops it being signed.....all ok really.
Never knew this ramp was here and I lived in the area for few years.....a few years ago.
Thanks Sumner Family...

Found it! Actually met someone riding around on a quad with his son and puppy who knew what geocaching is, but hasn't actually done it himself. So that was cool! I beat Ginger Ninja to this one. Yeaaaahhh!
Found with melting meerkats, Charliee_bug & theweirdone!
Found with water in cache log was ok to right on though
Good find

Out for the day with melting meerkats, McCutieBumm & theweirdone
Another good find but again filled with water, needs to be checked. Also, bring the aeroguard.

Container half full with water, but still able to sign the log. Bring the aero guard unless you want malaria. Lol Found with Charliee_bugg, McCutieBumm, and theweirdone.
Arrived at the end of the road and parked away from the other cars parked there with there boat trailers and commenced my walk thru the grass. Mowed recently. After a short walk arrived at an area where GPSr indicated was GZ. After a short search soon had the log in hand. Made my entry and replaced where and how found. TNLNSL TFTC The Sumner Family.
My three month Brisbane adventure has started. Day 25, Redcliffe.
I didn't do much with geocaches yesterday. I gave Mum a hand with sorting instead. Awful day it was, hot and sticky, and eventually wet. Today seems much better. I need to get to Costco today, so the GeoSchnauzers and I are heading in that direction to go caching, then I'll do the shopping. It promised to be a much better day than yesterday for caching, but we got saturated on one cache. We had almost got to it after a 150 metre walk, when the heavens opened, with no actual change heralded by said heavens. It must have been waiting to get us in the open!! We didn't knock off, though. I turned on the car's heater and did park and grabs until the rain stopped and we dried out. In the end, I reckon the dogs and I got about 4km of walking.
No 3 of 26 today. Thanks, The Sumner Family. Good cache, nice spot. The dogs and I enjoyed a walk around the area, and views of the creek. It looked like the tide was in - plenty of water.

Heading down to Brisbane today so I decided to make a detour to grab a few caches on the way. It was nice and quiet at GZ and after a short search the cache was soon in hand.
Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Quick find, nice spot here. Might have to throw the boat in at this ramp. Left TB stamp in logTFTC
Out and about with team Slow Puncture, cleaning up our maps.
An afternoon adventure that was to turn into a crazy caching evening!!
When we pulled up to this one, there were muggles galore! I was worried that we wouldn't be able to retrieve the cache, but, the cache was a distance away from them.
We made the find fairly quickly but took longer than necessary due to the mass mosquito population!!
When we started slapping each others mosquitos, we realised, we had to go!!

SP were out with Angela from Team DNA, eliminating pesky green dots around this area!
This cache is placed quite near to where we previously had one "Come On Down To My Boat". So it brought back memories for us.
The cache was a bit uncovered and also a little damp inside, so we fixed both those items while we were there. TFTC, Sumners.

Out for an afternoon with GeoGran when we stumbled across this cache. Took 2 x TB to further their travels. TFTC.
Beautiful day for a spot of caching with Dak07a. Surprised to see Liz and Bruce were here yesterday. It's nice to know that even with their vast tally that there are still some left for their enjoyment. TFTC Sumner Family. Dropped two TB's I brought back from my world cruise. Then Dak07a decided to take them as they don't have any others at the moment.
Staying with friend in Burpengary and happy to see lots of caches in the locality. Nice one. We found the cache after a short search.[^][^] Thanks to The Sumner Family.
On checking another cache details, I realised that this cache is different to the other one I missed. Will have to go find doggy heaven on gca so I have both in this park.
Today's journey was about doing some inroads into the increasing numbers of unopened green boxes on the peninsula, so I swung by here for a look. Place to myself, so a quick find. Thanks for placing this cache, The Sumner Family. Found in good condition.

This is a fantastic spot!! boat ramp to a little known creek, well done for putting a cache here.
Thanks The Sumner Family
Thanks The Sumner Family
4 for 4. Found on 2nd qttempt at this 1. Watch for 8 legged wild life. 1 decided to cling to container.
This one was found quickly - but only because other cachers have listed alternative co-ords - the ones listed are no help at all. Perhaps the cache owner needs to check the accuracy of their GPS as this seems to be a common theme with their caches. TNLNSL TFTC
TFTC. Found after a nice lunch at Mermaids in Deception Bay. Tide well in. Cache was found on ground so has been replaced into correct spot.
Someone's guard dog seemed to have escaped onto the street and chased me on my bike about 100m.
Easy find with the one big tree close by. TFTC!

The coordinates were out a bit for us but we soon had the cache in hand, thanks for the cache.
I got in contact with Nyssaflutterby to see if she wanted to come caching today, she got in touch with Lady Membsec and soon we were all in spangle and headed off for our last day of caching together before Christmas. Nyssaflutterby was in charge of where we were going today and it soon turned out to be operation clean out Nyssa's map.
Nyssa needed a nearby cache so we easily convinced her to pull over for this one as well. She pointed the right place out since the coordinates weren't good for her. We got closer and I followed my gps to a very unlikely spot to see just how bad they are. I was only about 5m away and if you just use common geosense it should be an easy find as it was for Lady Membsec. The log was signed and cache replaced as found. Thanks for the cache Sumner Family

Got a phone call this morning asking me if I wanted to go caching, did they have to ask? No!!! Of course I did as male membsec was heading off in another direction for a different activity. Car arrived and in I jumped. I had no idea where we were going and I didn't care. So Nyssaflutterby, Net88 and Lady membsec were off for a final caching day before Christmas.
It is the silly season and we fitted in quite well today. Many fun stories to be told. This cache caused some confusion as Nyssa had already found the cache and pointed us in one direction but the GPSr wanted us to go in another directions. Nyssa was correct!

Out and about with Whint today It took some planning last night to find an area that had sufficient caches we both hadn't found. The fellow fishing at the boat ramp didn't seem to mind us parking and wandering off The co-ords were off by about 15 metres for us, but the title and hint led us to the hiding spot, and the cache was a quick find. TFTC, The Sumner Family.
IolantheK & I were in the area cleaning up the caches... this was next on our list and we were happy to check out the boat ramp... not what I was expecting but we made our way to GZ and soon the cache was in hand.

GPS a fair way off but used logic and had it in hand pretty quick, thank god as the mozzies were nasty. TFTC
