### **A TIMELY REMINDER** ###
### (CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED) ###

Thank you for temporarily disabling this cache for maintenance - it is appreciated. However, I've noticed that it has been disabled for a while now . . . . . . . somewhat more than the few weeks suggested in the [**Guidelines,**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#maint) so it's time for me to take some kind of action. I wish I didn't have to, but others are probably wanting to know what's going on with this cache.
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list.
- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked 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 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 (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.
- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**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.
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, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, Archive the cache. Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then.
Please don't send me an email but instead follow the advice posted above.
I believe this cache is a Summer only cache, unless you fancy a swim!
Hi there lamarhabry.
It's our last day in Mount Gambier. We tried to extend our stay at the caravan park but were told we would have to move to another site[xx(]. WTF, why can't the incoming patrons move on to the site we were to move to?
Nevertheless we enjoyed our outing and found 7 caches (& DNF'd 3) in our cache run today. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander our way around Australia.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Headed to an event at the Mount with cabbos and naturally left ourselves plenty of time to cache our way there.
Waited for the muggle and his dog to move out of sight before I spied it from down low

Too much water now it's up to the bottom of the bridge. Tried to get frogs to help but they just kept saying " It's a ripper It's a ripper "
As with the previous cacher we did not find any sign of the cache. Maybe it's gone?
Did not find, was very muddy, probably got washed away :/ or we could just be very bad geocachers
Cool find... But yes as yesterday finders said - is wet - lucky for me they added a dry piece of paper to write on.. Be careful not to wet anything else or drop your phone when looking for this one !!!!! Dance Laugh Sparkle - Big Smiles
Found with Yoshi Warriors today as we grabbed a few caches around the Mount, this one was a nice straight forward find and we were soon back on the road. Thanks lamarhabry for the cache.
In Mount Gambier with Happy Pants for a day of caching. Fortunately it was quiet. A straightforward find. We soon had our names on the log. Thanks lamarhabry for placing this cache.
Suscoe headed out early today as our time in Mount Gambier is quickly disappearing.
It was a very foggy start to the day but as time went by the blue sky gently emerged and a splendid day was had by us.
45 cache finds in total which was a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed all the finds.
This is a terrific location for geocaching and we have loved our time in the Mount.
A quick find here in the park.
A quiet spot today.

Great Cache First Day out and found two caches! Look Hard it is not where you expect.
Easy! Eldest geokiddy found it no problem! Needs new log, getting pretty full. TFTC
Love your clue lol.
What a nice tidy park with nice shortly kept grass.
Good co ordinates on this cache made it a quick find, so we didn't have to look dodgy around the housing area.
Thanks lamarhabry for the cache TNLNSL

Found this cache with clare007 and hevwalker on an expedition to the south east! We had perfect weather on our trip …. Picking up some great Traditionals, multis and puzzles and a number of earthcaches. We also attended the Aussie Outback Event in Mount Gambier and local teams TT016 and Spanner111 took us on a nightcaching run!
Quickly located!!!
Quickly located!!!
Staying in Mt Gambier for a few days of relaxation with the hubby and geokids (age 4 & 6). Naturally I had to pick up a few caches in this cache filled town! I ditched the boys and went for a short drive to feed my cache addiction! A quick find here. Some lovely houses and walking tracks rough here. Thanks for the cache
Getting out early before it gets to hot and to work up an appetite for Xmas lunch. TFTH
Thankfully there wasn't any water around today so a quick and easy find was in order. TFTC
In Mount Gambier for a caching weekend with Mrs. M, as Mr. M was away in Canberra working and perhaps getting a cache or two. Caught up with mogni and headed out for another great day of caches and laughs.
I could see it from the first place I tired. After a stretch and feel I was able to grab it. Thanks lamarhabry. Glad it didn't drop it.

I tried to find this once before, but the water level was too high.... today we had a chance.... A quick spot by brisal5 and we had the cache in hand.
Thanks
Thanks
Very tricky hide and glad we Brian's long limbs for this one. TFTC lamarhabry.
This cache was found after a short hunt. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache lamarhabry.
This was a great hide my first ever time at finding something even got my hair wet
Found it in about the only place it could be hidden at but finding my way out was a bit trickier due to all the dead end streets. TFTC
Log is now full. We were out for a drive today and thought we would find some of the newer caches, around town. There were a few muggles about, but they didn't notice what we were doing. Tftc2/05/2015 4:06 pm Find #765
**Happy 15 Years of Geocaching**
We decided to head out while there was a break in the rain to award ourselves with a souvenir to Celebrate 15 Years of Geocaching. We walked over to GZ, what a beautiful area here. Found this one quickly today. TFTC

Took ages for us to find this one. Lovely natural park. Met a muggle family there & explained what we were doing. The granddaughter helped in the hunt. TT016 geo-hubby found it. Not where the co-ordinates indicated but signed & placed correctly. TFTC.
took a very long time to find.
found it in the drain pipe close by.
we returned it to where the co ordinates said it should be.
found with hevwalker12.
