Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Rocket2015, requesting additional time.
An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.
Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Investigate the situation and either restore the cache, or address any other issues, such as correcting the D/T rating if necessary.
* 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 which 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 Rocket2015 and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[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 by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume 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 there, and in good condition, 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 you

After waiting for the muggles to leave and searched as per the clue but no luck Cheers
Looked around where the clue specified but couldn't find it today - the falls are spectacular though!
Not Found by Facitman and Mrs Facit at 10:15
After skipping the cache near Russell falls I thought this might be doable but with no one around and the hint read I still came up short.
Beautiful falls so well worth the walk cache or no cache
Thanks Sue & Peter

Nice little hide and a quick find thanks to the detail hint. On holidays from Adelaide. WONDERFUL spot. TFTC
Let’s walk a bit further he says! Not just for the Horseshoe Falls but the geocache that’s there. TFTC SL
On the way home to the north west after three nights at Strathgordon and two at National Park, doing our bit for the economy with a winter sojourn during various lockdown procedures.
It was amazing to see the falls in full flow on two consecutive days. Today was quite spectacular ! This was the first for the day, dodging walkers, photographers and a full blown running event of some kind down in the visitor precinct. Very conveniently placed hide, which we retrieved and rehid whilst avoiding the interest of muggles nearby. Put a rock on top of the container, as we were abit concerned it might gat blown off its little perch. All good otherwise at GZ, thankyou Rocket2015

Had to be sneaky as it was pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon. Platypus nearby kept the muggles distracted though! Left a gold star toy ring behind TFTC
Found it quickly while there was a gap in people walking to look at the falls on a busy ANZAC day.
A day trip to Mt Field was on the agenda today with the aim of doing the 3 falls track.
After visiting Russel falls, EeePees joined me on the walk to Horseshoe falls.
At the GZ everyone was more concerned with looking at the falls. No one noticed when I squatted down and grabbed the cache. Signing duties done and then it was our time to look at the falls. Tftc Rocket2015

Another smiley for the day. This was a really cool hiding spot, so a fav point is awarded. The walk was....ummm..tiresome, but after many stops, and perseverance from my fellow walkers, I made it. So glad I did as the reward at the next falls was SO worth it. Tftc
A few muggles here today. Had to wait and "do up my shoelace" to retrieve this one.

This is a brilliant cache on account of the amazing location and excellent clue that I imagine is an extra bonus when it’s wet. After a day up higher (and being in awe of hard core Taswegians who make the effort to ski in winter)and walking my legs off, something compulsive wouldn’t let me drive by without finding these caches. So apart from that the massive towering ‘regnans’ were gobsmackingly impressive. A fave for location and nice clear hints. TFTC
We didn't actually find this cache, it was handed to us by one of the many scouts who were visiting this spectacular location. We signed the log and replaced the cache where we thought it belonged. TFTC

Got lucky no muggles really around, spotted it quickly from the walk up.
Beautiful waterfall.

Looking for something to fill in time whilst not studying, it was suggested that I finally get around to logging THOSE caches long found but never logged. Some even have funny stories of being visited not only once or twice, but a few even have had a third or fourth visit before realising I've been there done that. The date is as near to the correct day the cache was found.So sorry for the generic and late log.JABs.
Holy moly did this take time.
As soon as one group left, another came... for what seemed forever was actually probably only a half hour or less.
It was such a beautiful location to relax in though, i stood back savouring the moment.
Thanks for hiding a cache here!

Great hide in a beautiful spot. Had to be sneaky because of muggles. TFTC ️️
I didn’t realise that there were caches here. Found cache but didn’t have pen. I asked several passing people but no one had a pen or pencil. I took picture of log I hope that is acceptable. A very pretty place.
Our Tassie Christmas holiday continues as we enjoy tripping around, but spending far too little time in each place.
This morning found us exploring this area and enjoying some quality caches and beautiful scenery. There were lots of birds and animals around in the morning and we were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves before the tourists flooded the tracks.
Thank you for your cache, placed responsibly in such a special location. A favourite point from us

This picturesque setting is so nice to see!
The geocache was much easier to find once reading the clue. Once again found with clone5com and AnonymousUser.

Horseshoe Falls is one of my favourite falls. It's only small but a beautiful setting. The kids found it once I read out the hint.
Thanks Rocket2015
Thanks Rocket2015
Went for a birthday drive up to salmon ponds and my field. Managed to quickly grab it he cache here. TFTC
I had a feel around for this one from the boardwalk but couldn't find anything. A hoard of muggles arrived before I had the opportunity to climb through the barrier so I ended up walking away...
Today we visited beautiful Mount Field National Park. On our way along the „Three Falls Circuit“ we found this cache. Amazing waterfalls on the way. TFTC
981 Beautiful day for a hike. We went to the 3 falls along the hike. Russell Falls, Horseshoe Falls, and Lady Barren Falls. A leisurely 2-hr walk/hike, and finding the cache along the way made it extra fun. TFTC Rocket2015!
On a motorhome tour of Tassie and finding caches along the way. We are staying in the National Park campground for a couple of days and did the walk to the beautiful Russell Falls and Horseshoe Falls today. We waited until all the muggles were gone and quickly grabbed this cache. TFTC
The excellent hint led us right to the hide. Thanks for getting us to linger a little longer at this beautiful waterfall.
This one was tricky...We had heaps of people storming towards the Horseshoe. But when they all looked in the other direction we could make our move and grab the Cache and sign it in no time.
During our roadtrip through Tasmania I found this cache "Horseshoe" from Rocket2015 on 4 februari 2020 10:30.
Groetjes/Greetings and TFTC from a Dutchman (a long way from home, but home is here the heart is, on the bus)

Worth the walk to see this little piece of paradise. Easy find once your gps works! Tftc
Found it when staying at the Mt. Field NP, on a walk at the afternoon, during my motorcycle holiday on this marvelous island.
On our way from Hobart to Strahan, but we were in no rush, so we planned a few detours. What Mr Google said was a 4 hour drive, took us 9 hours.
This was definitely one of the places that we wanted to visit. Such a lovely large waterfall that the whole family enjoyed. Glad we took the time to visit this waterfall too. Not as large, but less visited.
This was a nice quick find when we worked out the right place to look. Was able to return it just in time.
Thanks for the cache Rocket 2015

Also came here on our tour through Tasmania. This is also a very nice waterfall. The can was easy to find.
Replaced the worn/rust6 container tonight, old one was buggered and log was a soggy mess.
New container is a small screw top plastic container, that should last a little longer.

Tasmania Day 6: Queenstown - Lake St Clair - Mt Field - Hobart
We made the journey from the West Coast of Tasmania back to Hobart today, which was a very long drive, but brought us some fabulous views and a diversity of trails and waterfalls. The views from Lake St Clair were awesome, along with some of the best waterfalls in Tasmania (Russell Falls is definitely an excellent waterfall). We started off at 9 am and reach Hobart at almost 9 pm, so it really was a grand finale to our Tasmania road trip.
This is the specific log for this cache:
We climbed the steps up to this smaller falls after marvelling at the Russell Falls. A bit steep at parts, but nothing too strenuous. Easy find at the spot after dodging some muggles, but cache is in a poor condition. Anyway, still a find so TFTC!

Well, we did find it but it was all wet and some animal seem to used it for amenities (-: this one definitely needs to be checked
Tftc only took 5 sec nice view
Found with puddler and family
(Needs replacement log is wet, no lid)

Day 8 of our trip in Tasmania and today we are driving from Launceston to Strathgordon with StephLego, WillPunkey and Scoob Log boook to wet to sign which is probably because it is missing a lid
Today our journey took us to Mount Field NP. Here we went on the Three Falls round. of the 9 caches we found seven. two were denied to us. Thanks for the caches.
Found metal canister but need repair. Soooo many students around that it increased the difficulty haha
The popularity of this spot today meant that I had quite a wait to replace the cache. At least I had a lovely waterfall to admire while I waited. Cache still in same sodden condition as reported below. TFTC
Found the cache but it had no lid so was filled with water and log was soaked! We hope this cache will be replaced with a nice waterproof container since it is a great spot!
Out today in this corner of the country. Doing the various walks.
Stunning place.
Cache found easily, like the last no lid and soaked.
