### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.It certainly needs to be checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating, or the posted coordinates.* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute that is present. Otherwise :* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information. **Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to 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 choppersrule and to take it off the playing board to prevent further inconvenience to our Geocaching Community.[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 see that action has been taken by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will conclude that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition and waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.Thank youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer

No idea, looked up and down guard rail
 
15-Jun-24
Finally, as they say third times the charm this proved to be true. With a bit more geocaching knowledge since last time we looked i had a better look and actually managed to find it. All in good condition. TFTC
 
07-May-24
No caving in to Muggles in their cars today. It was perfect timing as there was none at all so i dived in and made the find in the 1st place i looked... would have come in handy on 19 December 2023, but them there are the breaks. Today was the lucky break given how quick it was found WinkTook it back to the GeoMobile to sign the log at 12:37 on Tuesday 7 May 2024.Returned with, again, no cars passing by CoolTFTC choppersrule Smile
 
01-Apr-24
Thanks choppersrule for hiding this cache, I needed a find for today to update my calendar and find streak. This is my find #1493 at 10:46 on 1/4/2024.
 
17-Mar-24
TFTC. I can confirm that the cache is still in play at the post coordinates and as per the hint. The cache is in excellent condition and log dry. It was a very quiet Sunday afternoon which made for a comfortable hunt for this cache.
 
16-Mar-24
DNF, after 3 no finds in a row im fairly sure that this isnt here and has fallen. I used the hint and looked at photos but no luck. If the owner could have a look for it that would be great.
 
04-Jan-24
Looked high and looked low but no luck for us here today, even using the hint. Maybe next time.Thanks
 
19-Dec-23
[Tuesday 19 Dec at 13:21]Had a brief look here but being a bit nervous of my surrounds and the Muggle Traffic going by saw me cave-in early here. Oh well, there will be another time.TFT Challenge anyways Smile

This is another cache that I told my boss that I wasn't going to look for after finding 4.
This one gave me the run around. Its now very dark and the street lights are on. I got a little sidetracked and concentrated on the wrong spot.
A quick call to the rat and I soon had the cache in hand!
Thanks for the cache!
 
25-Apr-23
Cache has been replaced by stainlesssteelrat thank you my friend

04-Dec-22
Thanks for the cache
In the north of the state for the weekend with RLD4963 and the two GeoGSP's. Today was another lovely sunny day, so it was great to be out and about looking for caches in some lovely parks and reserves. Having said that, there was a fair bit of rubbish around this area. Took us a few minutes before RLD4963 eventually found it.
 
04-Dec-22
out and about caching in the Launceston area to get out of the maze, a sunny day as opposed to Hobart. TFTC TNLN log dry.
 
29-Nov-22

Several of the friends in Tassie had a conversation and organised ourselves a maintenance run on this one. Back up and running, the log is on waterproof paper so doesn't need a bag but you will need to bring something to write with.

27-Mar-21
Made my mark in the damp papery stuff.

The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

Easter 2020 was supposed to see South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find with two classic geo art trails including the famous animated bottle and glass.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

#9220 - 7:47:00 AM; Found myself on an unplanned trip to Tassie to farewell and old friend of many years. I had forgotten how late it is until sunrise at this time of the year, but I set off through the thick frost to collect a few of the newer caches since my last mission in the area, to fill in some of the time before my mid morning appointment. I've driven past this cache many times in recent years and decided I had to get it off the 'to do' list on this morning's run. Found a convenient park and made my way to GZ, where the cache name provided the inspiration which led to a quick find. TFTC choppersrule Smile
 
20-Jun-19
Full wet and lognote no room sign in...
 
15-Jun-19
Nice cache but concur with other entries that the log is wet. TFTC!

Anyway
Via stop to easy spot, ...TFTC Smile

In the last couple of days we've travelled from our native Hobart to Launceston for a bit of a Queen's Birthday long weekend getaway. Today, we figured we'd make our way to the Evandale market for a bit of a look around, and then spend a lazy hour or two exploring the southern end of Kate Reed Reserve with SonOfSteel.

On our way back to our overnight lodgings, we realised that we were only one cache away from passing Porkchop6977's find count. We've had a bit of a friendly rivalry with him for a while, so naturally we had to track down at least one more cache!

This cache became our target thanks to it's convenient location near to the route home. By this time it had gotten quite dark which made locating it a little difficult, but a combination of a good hunch and a bit of teamwork soon had the cache uncovered.

Thanks for the cache, definitely the perfect spot for our needs!
