###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###
----------
I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.
The guidelines indicated that regular visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by 16th August,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:
- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.
- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 16th August). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to Archive it on the basis that it has been abandoned. Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then.
Please don't send me an email but instead follow the advice/instructions posted above.

Found after a bit of a hunt. Good to read the activity logs rather than the hint. To the right of 'Len' from the seated area. Under the bush. TFTC
FlyingPigSquadron has landed! Lovely spot. Hint dwpenda upon your point of view! Log full TFTCH
Cute little park we would never have explored otherwise. Also found a fairy garden under the gum trees.
21st find on day 3 of my 8 day road trip through SA.
Not such a quick find this one but found it eventually. Sneaky
Thanks millbell

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

A new job and a seachange for me, means I am now in an area with lots of geocaches. Having survived my first day of work, an evening walk and a chance to grab a few caches.
Thanks to millbell from mogni

Technically to the RIGHT of Len if you’re facing him. It’s not under the rocks you think it’s under. LNTN TFTF Found with Dungbeetle
Ignore hints and read logs, place alive with No space left on logbook, lovely spot in evening
Found it eventually after checking all the rocks, in the area visiting friends camping

After checking every rock to the left and right (there was no not normal rock) i gave up. But i enjoyed watching the 100’s of parrots.
A few quick afternoon caches down south with Purrfect Di, Sebastbat and Jack.
We came, we cached, we sat, we enjoyed the rest baby!
Thanks for bringing us here millbell , and thanks for the smiley

Came to chuck in a shrimp net and turned on the map to see if any geocaches were about.
I don't reckon a zip lock bag would go a stray to keep the log book dry. (Unfortunately I didn't have one on me. Lots of rocks but found after a bit of a search. TFTC. 
Found on a lovely sunny still winters afternoon of caching around the South Coast. Never knew this park was here, fav point awarded for bringing us here. Found after a short search. Log signed.
Found and swapped container to a bigger one to fit the goodies in.
Fresh Clue: looking at lake, right of Len.

Found on the way home from a lovely weekend at Port Elliot. Thanks for bringing us to somewhere we would never have found otherwise. TNLNSL
Gz on phone search was accurate and yes from looking at 'Len' from the seat it was to the right
Finally found after we ignored the hint, as some previous logs have suggested, and thought like cachers. TFTC
Quite a hunt with many scavengers...apparently it was the other left! Found with laconic20. 4 from 4 this easter. Tftc.
We had searched for this one earlier in the day and missed it but revisited after reading previous logs specifying not to take the coords too seriously. A systematic search eventually turned up the cache. Hint wasn't much help since we didn't know what direction to start from! TFTC
We are on an LGA adventure/surprise visit to Adelaide from Melbourne for my Aunty's 80th birthday... via Swan Hill and Loxton! We chose this route so that we could find caches in a few of the LGA areas we have missing in Victoria for the Vic Polygon LGA Challenge cache and then we could also do some of the Wandering Hero caches from Loxton to Adelaide.
After a few days in Adelaide we headed down to Hayborough for a few days, this whole area is so beautiful! Today we were heading for Hindmarsh island, grabbing a few caches along the way. GMelb made the find whilst JMelb and muggle sister were taking photos of the lake and then he joined us. When walking back from the lake to the car we saw a man with a very large labrador that was attempting to be a lap dog, it was so funny!!

Day Seven of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I dragged out the deadly treadlies and rode the pathway as far as Basham Reserve, stopping at Port Elliot for lunch and collecting a few caches and some DNFs on the way.
Had a look here - nice park,but no cache for us.
I notice that a few cachers have put other co-ordinates in, maybe we didn't widen our search enough.
Thanks, Robmc.

Day 7 of our SA holiday. We decided it was a bike-riding day now that the gale force winds had stopped and the sun was out. We went as far as Basham Reserve,collecting caches and DNF's along the way and then made our way home quite quickly along the bike paths. We also enjoyed a very pleasant lunch in Port Elliot. I think this is definitely one of my new favourite towns. Loved it and Horseshoe Bay.
Just another DNF here for us today. Len's seating area was rather hot just after lunch and we had absolutely no success despite the hint. However, having trawled through the logs Rob reckons we need to have a second look. This sure is a pretty park though and we watched a young family arrive to feed the ducks on the other side of the lake in the shade. So many pretty gardens here.

The inquisitive lady over the road watched us. She watched our every move. I distracted her by the tree survey and four-fun found the cache amazingly in the first place he looked.
We did uee and drove off. We came back into the next street, and there she was again, following us.
Weird.
Thanks to millbell and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

After taking a seat to 'pond'er the answer, I rocked back and forth until I had the cache in hand. TFTC.
