Hi
This cache appears to have some problems. It is the cache owner's responsibility to read the logs and check the cache to sort out any problems with it and give an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find.
**The cache is being Disabled to give the Cache Owner an opportunity to investigate and fix the apparent issues.**
Once the cache is operational again, the CO should write an *Owner Maintenance* log advising that the promlems have been fixed, and to remove the *Needs maintenance* attribute (red cross) if that is showing on the cache page. The CO can then write an Enable log to return the cache to play.
If the cache cannot be fixed it should be archived.
**If there is no response to this log after 30 days the cache will be Archived.**
The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Visited GZ today with a previous finder who confirmed that the cache is no longer present. Will also log a needs maintenance.
There was a market on, and a cricket game too, so GZ was as busy as a mosquito at a nudist colony. We had a half-hearted look while we ate our sausage from the market BBQ but found nothing. Not a total waste though, I bought a nice jar of REAL raspberry jam at a stall.
A bit of a DNF day for myself and goose, we must be loosing our touch, searched for a bit and as best we could but with a market on we had no luck.
I had a half baked idea where the cache would be, but it wasn't there. Looked at another place which was about 60ft away but not there either. With very little to go on, I had to settle for a DNF. Some better guidance could be given as to which object to look at.
I really loved this neat cache, kids looked stared at it and dismissed it - doh. A fav for us. This is a catch up log tftc
First geocache for the year! Maybe even for last year too
Geokid asked if we could grab some caches on his last few days of school holidays where I had some much needed time off work. First point of call was this one, it's not 200m from home and we hadn't found it yet!
Quick find, geokid hasn't lost his knack even with 12m or so not caching, he didn't even need the clue!

Commenting without giving spoilers is tricky. Anything I say might give it away.
Good one for a newbie.

We decided to grab a couple of caches up this way on the way back from the Asylum Exhibition for Dark Mofo at NNF. This was a well hidden cache but a quick find. The best thing about this cache is we discovered the dog park behind GZ which we will definitely be back to make use of! TFTC tx4000
Found on a trip to Myrtle forest with membsec, AINSTAR, Zanlickbackpak and ImmyMoo. TFTC
Great day for a family trip to the Myrtle Forest falls. On the way home called in to grab this cache with ainstar, scottymyth, xman and immymoo. Very well constructed cache container and so appropriate to the cache, deserves an favourite point.

Camping in the Derwent valley for a few days, so have spent some time chasing some caches in the area.
have seen this little town in the news a lot over the years for snow and fire, so thought I'd head out here and take a look around the area and grab a cache on the way past. Beautiful country and not too far from the city.
Quickly found the cache once in the GZ.
Loved the very creative container, very appropriate for the location.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
Staying at the showgrounds and planning an assault on the Montrose List caches and out exploring the area in preparation. Managed to detour via this cache. [^]
Liked this cutie, no fires today thankfully.

Grandpa and I ducked around to look for this cache and as an active member of this fire brigade a number of years ago, I'm glad to see a cache near the shed.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Found in the company of Peter (of Sue&Peter fame). Lots of activity at the site today - numerous cars, trucks and vans, evidently to do with film making in the district. Thanks tx4000. TNLN.
We called in after a walk to Mount Marian and were stunned by the large number of vehicles there, including large trucks with film insignia. We did learn from one of the people there that filming was going on at Collinsvale.
With all this going on we thought it would make looking for a cache a bit hard, but we managed to snaffle it quite quickly and without drawing undue attention to ourselves. Quite a nifty cache container.
This was a joint search with Barad Bunch and a non cacher who knew what it was all about.
Gr8 little cache. There was no swaps in here today other than the Tb I grabbed so I put in a handful of trinkets
Noone about this afternoon which makes for easier searching. Found after a few minutes of working out the possibilities. Love the container. Left a TB to further his journey with another team. TFTC
This cache gets a favourite from us, not for the really terrific container (hope it doesn't get muggled) but for your tribute to the staff and volunteers of our Rural Fire Brigades. We all owe these people so much. so a big thank you to them and to you tx for reminding us of their ongoing service to our communities throughout our state.
As we approached GZ, there were many muggles socialising around a very vigorous fire immediately outside the doors of the fire station - certainly not far to go if help was needed if the fire got out of control. However, we soon worked out that the cache was sufficiently far away from them for us to continue the hunt and the strategic placement of our car helped. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a very thoughtful and well constructed cache container. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks tx4000 for another very good cache.
Hi tx4000
This is a great cache with a very appropriate cache container.
Sainted at 1003hrs.
Enjoyed the old machinery around the area too
Thanks for the cache and cheers

Cache zombified. Dropped KiddyCat off at school and headed out for this one. Easy find of a very cool container. Surprised there are not more caches in this beautiful area. Deserves a fav for the container and area. Thanks for the cache and ftf tx4000.
I enjoyed the drive up from Molesworth, which I think I've only done once before.
At GZ, there was a man flying an RC helicopter, and two others watching him.
They decided staring at me was more interesting, so I didn't feel able to stuck around and search.
