I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from, nor action by the cache owner Angus88 within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

###OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE###
This cache has been flagged as most likely needing some attention. **It is time for the CO to take action.**
I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicate your intention) within 30 days**, so everyone knows exactly what is happening with this cache?

These are your options:
* Take positive action to maintain your cache (Repair/Replace/Correct co-ords etc_) and post an Owner Maintenance log and ENABLE your cache, and then monitor your logs to ensure the problem is resolved.
* If you don't plan on fixing it up then please Archive it so it is removed from searches and someone else can utilise the location. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your cache.
* If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log before the deadline. Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.Please don't send me an email but instead follow the instructions posted above so that all documentation is logged with the cache.

**If there is no restorative action or communication within 30 days , then when I circle back to this one it will be Archived.**
Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible to be Unarchived.

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.

Out and about picking up caches as we travel around this area of Tassie. Have seen some wonderful sights as we venture into some very unique wilderness!

We missed this last time we were here. The tower doesn’t exist anymore and an attempt of putting plants in the tower footings has occurred. We had a good search and thought about replacing the container but really there isn’t a good place other than prickly bushes which isn’t appropriate. Not sure if the CO is active in this area any more and therefore may need archiving.

The tower has gone and the CO doesn’t seem to be in the area anymore! No where to hide a replacement other than prickly plants!

Found on a wet cold windy day. Great views. TFTC

In Tassie with family doing a short trip around this lovely island. We saw some amazing scenery, wildlife and visited some beautiful places while touring around in our motorhome. I took the opportunity to stop and grab any caches when we could stop. We only had a few DNF's and made some good discoveries and clever hides during the trip. We had some fun and laughs along the way.

This took a bit of a hunt to find this and after expanding the search and reading description and previous logs, we made the find. The container had water in it and the log was very wet.

Thanks Angus88 for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

Found while travelling around on holiday from WA. Many apologies for late log! Thanks for the cache Angus88.

On our two month travelling trip through Austrialia, we are enjoying all the wonderful places and scenery. We will stop on the way to visit some nice caches as well. This one we could find.

Found it. Damp and a little hard to write on. Only had a pencil.

Nicely placed cache. The red splodge on the log is me, the ink ran on the waterproof paper. It’s nice to get a signal after being in the Corinna wilderness for days.

Tassie Trip Day 36 - Moving day today but with a bit of difference we traveled from smithton to waratah via burnie so after arriving we also decided to go a little further than normal. So off we went with the box on the back and stopped for a cache here and there before leaving the box at the Waratah caravan park and traveling to Corinna for a little more caching.

As the time was marching on we decided that this one would be a good one to go for along this the detour road for us today as it was the furtherst from our previous find. Arrive at GZ and collected the cache however the log was so soggy it was a paper mass of pulp so as I had a log we place a new log sheet in and managed to find a new plastic bag to put it in and returned the cache to its hiding location.

Thanks Angus88 and it was nice to see the area and get a couple of finds for our efforts.

We found it, it’s very small and it was full of water

After quite a drive along the gravel road, it was nice to arrive at GZ for a quick find. I only passed about 2 cars during the whole drive. TFTC.

Nice quick find for us here today. Thanks for the cache.

TFTC Sl. Found after reading previous logs. GPS way out.

The tower appeared at last
It's a long and winding road from Arthur River to get here
But the views are superb [^]
Though the overcast weather made for rubbish photographs

A short wander around and a cache was soon found

Only one question remains !!
What does the tower do ??
Three antennae !!
Two for receiving and one for transmitting ?

Who knows !!

TFTC.

On a very relaxed drive from Waratah to Arthur River via Corinna today, stopping occasionally to find a cache. If ever there is a hard way to go to GZ, I can find it. I was still approaching GZ when Pa had retrieved the cache. Added my name to the log and returned the cache to its hidey hole. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

Had stopped for some photos of the plains and thought I would grab the cache while here. Gps had me on the wrong side of the tower, but soon found it. While it was a pretty poor cache am giving it a favourite for being in such an amazing area. TFTC

Gps coordinates seemed a bit off but found it thanks to the clue. Tftc Chilli Dogs

Tftc found cache 10 metres away horrible weather forced us to move on asap

Gps had us 10m away but Te-reading clues, info and logs made a quick find after some wandering around

While enjoying our holiday in our campervan in Tasmania, we found this cache. Tftc.

Toovee log was wet

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! Our journey started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island, before heading to Melbourne via Goolwa, Strathalbyn, Coorong, Mount Gambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell, Cape Otway and Lorne, cramming in as much as possible on route. We are now here in Tasmania on the second leg of our journey. We then head back to Melbourne before setting off to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. After a visit to Sydney we will travel on to the Gold Coast, then after spending a few days in the nearby mountainous birding hotspots, followed by an overnight trip to Fraser Island, we will fly from Brisbane to Cairns, visiting yet more good birding sites. We will then drive up to Cape Tribulation before heading back south again to Port Douglas and a day out on the Great Barrier Reef. We then return to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs, where we will hire a 4x4 camper and set off for a week on the circuit to and from Kings Canyon and Ayers Rock. We then fly to Darwin from where we will spend the last two weeks of our holiday making our way to Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!

This one took far too long to find in the wind and rain, but eventually we had it in hand, a good 6 meters away from Ground Zero as per our GPS. Having expected a fairly quick find we hadn't dressed for the rain, and so we were soaked to the skin by the time we got back to our hire car! Thanks so much for the cache.

Moving the geo van from Julius River to Waratah, time to stop for a cache. Gz way out in to be middle of nowhere, read comments from our friends the felixs, just as mr d found the hide, in our case 8 metres out, but in obvious spot. Signed and returned.

Thanks for the hide

Thanks for the cache and the mobile access!

Just happened to stop here for a Kodak moment, and lo and behold an internet signal and a cache! While Mrs SG phoned number one daughter in England, Mr SG did the deed with the cache TFTC

Plan for the summer. Hike, 4wd and Geocache around Tasmania. It will be a great adventure. After many trips touring around Tasmania i have finally made it up into the North West corner. It is great to see this trail of caches and drive that i has been made. We spent 2 1/2 days travelling around. Seeing all the sights and collecting the caches. Thanks

Reception was great here. Managed to book some tickets for more adventurers in the future. Cheers.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

Leaving our caravan in Waratah we set off in the Geocruiser towards Corinna. We grabbed a couple of caches along the way but decided to grab most caches on the way back.

Ducked up to grab this one before turning for home. Cache found in an obvious spot but at least 12metres from where our GPS was pointing.

Easy find, not so easy to find the Longback walk nearby (not signposted, we did find it eventually,can still do the walk if prepared to clamber over fallen trees for the first 10 minutes or so). TFTC

Where could it be?
That's a suspicious looking pile of rocks!

We found this easily having read the cache description and not concentrating on the GPS.
Great views of the countryside, and we had good phone reception here so caught up on a few contacts.
Thanks Angus88.

found it.

could not found looked for 30 mins or so

#1771 - A very appropriate name. But the co-ordinates seem a bit out for our Garmin GPS 62S. All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour. Thanks to Angus88 for establishing and maintaining this cache.

I spent way too much time looking at where my iPhone was indicating, using the hint all to no avail.
Read the description and the cache was found in seconds! The big sign at the start of the northern end of the Western Explorer road is wrong. I had great mobile phone coverage at the tower - why else would Telstra put equipment here?
Thanks for the cache!

Originally we had intended to cache today between Waratah and Savage River but, for one reason or another, we cached through to Corinna where we had lunch and caught up with Angus88.

Before going into Corinna for lunch, we drove a short distance up the Western Explorer to look for this cache. With easy parking near the cache, a combination of accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. There being no other entries in the logbook, we will claim FTF at 12:10. thanks for the cache Angus88.
