###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. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Take action to restore the cache or address any issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* 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 %CO% 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.

I posted a Needs Maintenance log for this cache back on the 21/03/2022. Unfortunately, the CO did not respond in a timely manner. I then posted a Needs Archive log on the 06/05/2022. Perhaps the Reviewer decided this cache did not warrant their involvement at that time. Unfortunately, this cache has attracted quite a number of DNF logs since and still the CO is missing in action.
Again, I bring this cache to the attention of the Reviewer to determine its future.

Had a good look with no muggle traffic around on a cold wet day but......no luck
The cache is no longer there...
We searched each and every corner ... the place is nice, but the cache is most probably lost.

Second time looking for this. Couldn’t find even with the clues from other people
Can’t find even with hints from previous people potentially been washed away with the recent rain
out for an early morning walk from the tourist park. An initial look I thought a lot of places it could be. My muggle brother in lay soon asked is this what you are looking for holding up the prize. Signed the log and replaced from whence it had been found. tftc
PS too cold in the morning for too many muggles to be around

Looks like this one needs some attention from the log. I think I found the spot with nothing hidden there... Or I DNFd
Disappointingly, there's been no response from the CO to the maintenance issues as reported. Time to bring this cache to the attention of a Reviewer to determine its future. Hopefully, the CO will get things sorted.

Any chance of a maintenance check w0lfpack4?
I fear this cache is destined for archiving due to a lack of maintenance by the CO. Time will tell.

A surprisingly quick find with the help of Mr L. Log is soaked and needs some TLC. Glad it wasn't a nano!!!!

TLC needed to replace saturated log. Also container cap has come adrift. Still works though.

We enjoyed a wonderful day at Scenic World. The weather was perfect for exploring. We will definitely be back. TFTC!

This was my first find for the day and thank goodness it was simple. I often struggle massively at these sorts of hides. Listening to the dinos roaring nearby. TFTC
Went back for this one after a dnf earlier. Turns out I was making it wayyyyy to complicated. Tftc
Had a wheely good time finding this one, was doing circles around the marker
I can finally cross this one of my list. Got it!
I was up here today for a canyon trip in the morning, and a night time glow worm walk through the grand canyon circuit.
So while having a few hours between trips I could have a quick hunt for some caches. Not that I've managed to find many the last couple of years. It's good to get out again.
Thanks for the cache.

Made this one a lot harder than it needed to be. Not much muggle activity due to rain. Thanks
Out for an afternoon cache run and after parking the car across the road we made a relatively quick find. With the cache in hand, we signed the log before replacing it as found. The container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache w0lfpack4.

A cache is in ordinary condition.that’s said that must have been one crazy coaster!! Love this history of the mountains! Tftc
Found it, TFTC. Definitely good time to hunt this location during lockdown. Not a muggle in sight.
Great find! No muggles about in lockdown. Left a little surprise for the next adventurers.
With around 20 minutes to spare before getting on the bus back to Katoomba we wandered over hoping for a quick find. I always approach these types of hides with trepidation, they can either be quick and easy or you can spend ages searching. Fortunately for us it was the former, log signed, cache replaced with plenty of time to get the bus. Thanks for the cache
Seriously made this so much harder than it needed to be. Previous logs really should have been enough. I remember trying to find this a couple of years back and failed. Got you this time. TFTC
Hi everyone, let's play a game of lets make these geocaches way harder to find than you need to! Gosh I feel stupid, just looked in more difficult places
Quite an tricky find, but came good after some wheelie good clues. Great hide. Cache is in good condition. Signed and replaced. Thanks for placing the cache.
This one was a little tricky because the GPS led us somewhere else. We read some logs and found the real GZ. TFTC!
Can’t find it, even after reading all the clues and knowing the appearance of the container!
The Dino's are a temporary display, but none the less a great place to visit. TFTC
Finally found it!!! Previous logs did help and having a little child who could get low and into tight spaces.
Love the nearby scenic world!!!

Found while visiting the Blue Mountains on a day trip with geobuddies StokesyWa and Chippyddd. Great clue made for s quick find. Room for very small swaps or drops SL TFTH TFTC Cache replaced as found ready for the next adventurer.
Found ICW Geo-Buddies Mystic Seer and StokesyWA whilst on a day trip to the Blue Mountains. Mystic Seer eyed it, StokesWA retrieved it. SL TFTH TFTC. Cache replaced as found ready for the next Geo-adventurer.
Found with WaywardWoman while caching in the area. A look at the past logs, and a find. A different place from where WW found it many years ago!. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
TFTC. Took us a while. Had us wheeling but got there in the end. Watch out for the signs and you’ll have it in hand fairly quickly. Not too many muggles about this morning.
Found it. Took a quite a while, but found it after reading a few recent logs and checking out some photos. Quite tricky, thanks.
We moved back to our van full time just few days ago and decided to head back to Blue mountains first thing. After couple days in Lithgow and nice hike to glow worm tunnels, we decided to drive to Katoomba. After the cliff walk we stopped here, tftc!
Gps was a bit off for me but definitely got help from comments and photos. Didn't have a pen on me so attached a photo of the cache as evidence. Tftc!
