Giggle town six pack #5 St. Matthews New Norfolk, Tasmania, Australia

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, tx4000, 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 Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.

The cache owner, %CO%, needs to :

* Return the cache to good health by fixing the problem, re-enabling the cache, and posting an Owner Maintenance log if a Needs Maintenance attribute needs to be cleared. Otherwise :

* Post a Note Log to explain the situation and request more time. Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this, that is for use when you actually 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%.
[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 be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided. If there has been no action to repair the cache or explain the situation, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance 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.

Thank you

Although the cache continues to be found, there's a number of logs that indicate issues of container damage and a wet log. It is definitely in need of maintenance by the CO. Unfortunately, the CO has not completed the maintenance required. As such, it's time to bring this cache to the attention of a Reviewer to determine its future.

Found it! Cache missing lid, log damp. Full log to follow.

Usually, if a CO doesn't check on their cache within a month of me logging a NM on a cache that needs it, I usually place a Needs Archiving log. I'll give this a few more weeks before I do that. Hopefully, the CO will respond.

On the way to Mt Field. Log wet. More to come.

A quick find at GZ. Log signed and cache returned.

The lid of the cache is damaged and the log is exposed. A new cache container and log is required here.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

TFTC. Took photo of log as slightly water damaged to sign. Container also broken.

Good little cache! Thanks ️

Well i have been meaning to grab this before but never did, so i was out here for the market and also grab a few others, as for the cache it was a quick find.

I am back to weekly caching now and apart from long walks almost back to normal, one thing that hasn't changed it my late logs, sorry about that.

Thanks for the cache.

A quick find here, cache is all good

Today I headed to Hobart to attended the celebration event in the evening and decided to make a day of it and find some caches along the way, around new Norfolk, the CBD and lenah valley . A great day out with around 60 finds.

Thanks for the cache

Really smart place to hide

Easy find

So much history all around Tasmania. Ended up in NN today due to circumstance but great to see this old church. Thanks tx4000

All is not wasted on today's walk. .ta

Brilliant!

This one was trickier than expected! Good one

this was mine and my friends first cache and it was super fun this is really cool

After finding the cache in the nearby cemetery we went on to find this one. I had what I thought was a good idea of where it was. I found ground zero and thought hmmm that doesn't look quite right. I look a little lower and there was the cache. The logbook was nice and dry. Thanks for maintaining this cache

This was an interesting experience!!! There was a van with 2 muggles parked right next to GZ making searching impossible. While we sat and waited for them to leave we watched the cars coming from behind us [we were outside the police station]. Of at least 20 cars that came around that corner from behind us and turned up towards town not one turned legally, with all crossing the solid white line. Think the local police could get their daily quotas by just sitting outside their own police station!!!
Anyway back to the cache, after wasting too much time waiting I got out and phoned my imaginary friend whilst checking out the situation. Then the van finally left but another vehicle pulled up in its place and out hopped what I suspect was the church minister. He stopped and asked me if I was okay and if I needed any help!!! I must have been looking a bit desperate. Told him I was just waiting for a phone call and he wandered off inside.
Finally, we could deal with this cache, the only unfound one we had in town.
The church had a notice up saying that there would be no services due to the current situation but that people were free to enter for personal time.
Thanks, nice to have a town full of smiley faces.

TFTC quick find, nice town, loving Tassie

I could not see it at first, but I finally found it!

Found thank you for placing and maintaining the cache for our enjoyment.

Suscoe dropped by ST Matthew's today, a quick find and then an enjoyable visit to admire the windows.

Thanks for the cache. We were in NN today for the market, and KingSmev and I ducked off for a short excursion to find two nearby caches. This was the first one, and after a bit of a look, I suggested where it might be, and KingSmev spotted and retrieved it.

TFTC On my way to doing the Tassie Zodiac Trail.

The first time I came here parishioners were exiting the church. The second time I was more successful. TFTC

Thanks tx4000 for placing this cache and keeping it on the geo- game board.
Nice creative little hide to find in the dark after doing the Tassie Zodiac Trail.

Done this Cache on a weekend away to Hobart all by myself so was able to find 44 caches including some lengthy multi caches. Also got to see my favourite comedian, some family and friends and a spot of shopping. Just what this girl needed!

Followed the fishing line to this little cache near the heart of the bustling country town of New Norfolk. Lovely little Anglican church with lovely polished pews and beautiful stained glass windows. TFTC tx4000

An opportunity presented to add to the list of finds in an area we have been to occasionally was not to be missed. It was good to be able to enjoy the stained glass windows before locating the cache with the excellent accurate co-ords.

Quick find at a lovely location.
TFTC

We had to abandon our first search due to muggles in the area so went away to find another cache instead. When the same muggles turned up at the second site we knew it was safe to return. Came back and cache quickly in hand, not the hide we were expecting! TFTC.

Good hide

Day 11 of my trip from Adelaide and after a pleasant night under the stars at Bronte Lagoon, I headed back up to the lakes to visit some old haunts and grab a few caches. Then it was down to Hobart via Bothwell and New Norfolk. And I was blessed with some great weather!

Not quite what I was expecting but a quick find nonetheless.

Thanks tx4000 for the cache.

On our tour trough Tassie we come to this place. After a short search we can find the cache. A nice hide and everything is fine.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

Found on second look. Log full and wet. Replaced with a sheet of paper. Thanks

Came with my friend, Runsis, to New Norfolk for a relaxing few hours...
We had a lovely devonshire tea at the nearby cafe "The Quilted Teacup"
The cache was spotted after a short fossick...
TFTC tx4000

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Last night in town so I paused by the church after dinner for a quick and easy find to mark my stay in New Norfolk with a smiley on the geo-map. Thanks for a quick and easy find tx4000 - the log book is a bit squished and worse for wear... Could do with a fresh replacement, but I had nothing on me, sorry.

A good reason to stop and explore this lovely area. Thanks for this cache!

Quick find. New log needed. Tftc. Greetings from Adelaide.

Thankfully the gardening was being done around the corner.

Quick find, our first time at this church tftc
