##Cache Maintenance Required please.##
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance).
If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.
I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.
If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

Found with my Dad and brother on our way home from Kempsey.... 103 finds this weekend!
#4774
We're driving home after a quick, but busy caching weekend around Kempsey, finishing up with our highest find count day and weekend (73 and 100), a nice way to blow away that lockdown angst....
We needed one more to make 100 for the weekend, so detoured through Taree on the way home. Unfortunately this one has lost its lid, and of course the insides are a mess with water - it needs to be replaced.

The cache is certainly there, but without a lid its been wet for the past 2 years at least.... it needs to be replaced, maybe if archived a new cacher will use the spot....
Found with eemiaj while caching around the Taree area. Signed log as BE5150.TFTC.
Found but was full of water probably needs new lid. Emptied & wiped out & put new paper in & signed...replaced upside down so it doesn't fill with water again...
Needs maintenance, container's wet
Signed partly dry paper
Day 2

#6960 Day 2 of our "Dayboro Plan B" trip. mtrax & myself, having decided to ditch the mega came up with a last minute re-route using some of the accommodation we'd already booked and find some interesting caches. To this end we were very selective and only chose caches with sufficient FPs along the route. After one day this has provided an interesting selection. There were a few showers about today and the wet weather gear had to come out.
Another cemetery, here the cacahe was quite wet and was not sealed well. Great view from up here.
Thanks hatchook

Found but it is absolutely saturated. A nice cemetery nearby and a view of the river
Left the wife at the pool while staying in Harrington and had around 4 hours to cache around Taree picking up some caches and mysteries.
Drove over and parked nearby, found the hide and SL. The lid is broken, so isn't water proof, but everything is dry. Then I heard a noise coming from within the cache area. As i pressed on the cache it sort of chirped. Be careful when grabbing the cache.

Nice easy find at a good place for a stroll. The container itself had some water in it, but the paper to sign on was dry inside ziplock bags. Tftc!
Hi! Found it and checked out the little notes left behind, we have added a little treasure of magnetic awesomeness. Keep discovering little ones!
Another great cache unfortunately full of water. The container is no longer water proof. The log is also full. TFTF. Found with MawaHahaha
Our first ever Geocache!
We’ve swapped some trinkets and left a not.
(Just watch little kids near the electric fence)

TFTC! Container could use a bit of tlc, but still functioning. Beautiful day for a stroll.
Found tyftc. June long weekend 2020. Gatherimg caches ready for tackling NSW schoolies challenge. Find# 1886
Found the contents swimming in water The lid is cracked. Left a new bag and logsheet. SL; TFTC
Found @ 7:21pm with hccatcher11415
Easy find but the cache was full of water (the lid is broken) and the log a sodden mess (the ziplock bag was open).
I emptied the water out and got rid of any rusty/broken items. I also removed the sodden log and dried out the ziplock bag.
I placed a fresh piece of paper in the ziplock bag and carefully placed what was left of the lid back on the cache. You can see the remnants of the rest of the lid underneath the cache.
Thanks hatchook but this definitely needs maintenance.

5th find for allrounder and I on a stop over in Taree as we head through to Brisbane. It started to rain heavier as we drove to GZ but figured we may as well grab this one as we probably wouldn’t get back here to find. It was a quick grab however the lid was off the container and it was full of water. allrounder cleaned and dried the container best as possible and we placed a piece of paper in it so we could sign. CO may like to check on this one.

Forgot a pen. Will send a picture. Thx for the cache. Lovely peaceful place here.
Previous logs didn't seem to mention the termites. Container needs a new lid.

Lid was still broken. was full of water with spiders great find in a beautiful area
found after work. Collecting some caches for the current souvenir. Great size cache but lid is broken. TFTC
Found! Thank you! Due to nature of hiding spot, lid needs replacing to avoid risk to others engaging in the activity (as lid is damaged enough to let a spider inside). Was an interesting stop that we hadn't visited before - is the Saxby family grave the same Saxby family of the creator of Saxby's soft drinks? Had a walk through the area while there. Cache safely returned to its original spot once log book signed.
A very peaceful spot. Only observer was a Young maggie - quite unafraid and obviously looking for food. Heavy downpour of rain last night. The lid is cracked and the log is damp.

Noted a cache where my great grandfather, grandfather and father are laid to rest. (along with other family members).
Dropped by to pay my respects and grab a cache as well!
TFTC Cache contents a bit damp so I turned it upside down when I returned it to its grave.

The resting souls certainly have a lovely peaceful aspect overlooking the river. Glad to have been brought to this spot.
