A Sticky Situation Hillwood, Tasmania, Australia
By katiemac88 on 20-Jul-15. Waypoint GC5ZRHN

###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.

No time to go look and original casing was pinched so bye bye to a not so sticky situation.

Had a quick look after having a bite to eat at the cafe In hillwood with no luck

Searched high and low

Was here with Fabulist & we took longer than we should have to try and find this being our first for the day. The only place we could come up with from the description describing needing tweezers or a stick to poke was a hole in the roof inside the bus shelter but nothing was in there after many poking and prodding of other “ holes ” in and around the vicinity of the bus shelter.... sent a msg to the owner... to see if by any luck we could get a quick response no such luck but that’s ok we will definitely be back. Was a lovely nest also of eggs so if you go please don’t move or disturb the eggs as they’re very real and mum and dad where close by.

Found easily with some thought!! Tftc

Came thinking I would be here for a while. Can't believe how quick I had cache in hand. Wow. Thanks for the cache!!

Had to think outside the box! Just as we were about to give up, we found it. TFTC!

Tassie Trip Day 213 - Well after the crafty one decided to do another cross stitch it was realised that an important cotton was missing so it was decided that a trip to Spotlight was required and that meant Launceston again so off we went and after collecting the required material it was time to return to camp and we cached along the way.

This was our first stop and it was a nice spot to stop and after looking around for some time a finger in the right spot soon revealed a cache that was not quite the one expected but alas it was a log and signed and returned to the location.

Thanks katiemac88 for showing us the area.

Thanks.

Found it. Look up. And helps if you are not short

Finally found it after several dnfs

In Tassie for a couple of weeks, 12 years since our last visit, when we actually found our first 60 caches.
We just love the way geocaching can offer so much more in the way of scenery and history than any travel brochure. It is interesting to see the number of original caches which are still in place after 12 or 14 years.

**FEEDBACK TO CO** Cache seems to be missing an outer container. CO visit might be worthwhile! May be a Throwdown?

Thanks to 'katiemac88' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

On our tour around Tassie we made here a quick stop.
After a while looking we can find the cache.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

DNf but will come back again to look.

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.

Stopped off here to take a quick detour and look around the area. This one took a great deal of searching and it was eventually the geo teen who came up with what we had been looking for. A nice sneaky hide.

Thanks katiemac88 for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

After driving through Hillwood and replacing a cache of mine, I stopped by and thought I made a quick find, thinking "it's a fake birdnest" but then realising that the birdnest was not fake as the three birds inside it were actually blinking, and their droppings were down the side of the bus shelter.
Signed the log and replaced. TFTC

It’s bad when you can’t find your own cache! Got the whole geofamily out of the car to help with this one, Geodad soon had it in his hands!

Log sheet replaced, all ready to be found and signed over the Summer break!

We are covered in dirt and we’re just giving up when Angus 88 sniffed it out. Tftc

Took 20 minutes but it shouldn’t have. Found with Maggie. Log full. Took photo as proof of find. Tftc.

There are a couple of ways to think about this cache and it is obvious once you have found it! TFTC.

Very tricky, whole family looked and looked, Geodaughter yo the rescue!!!

Love it, I had but of an idea what I was l looking for so it was quickly in hand.
This cache was hunted, tagged and released by activehunters tftc.

Found it after about the 3rd attempt at it!
Good hide. Well hidden

I feel like this isn’t in its correct hide because the last 3 times i looked here it was definitely not in that spot today it was super easy to find took about 2 mins. CO should check if it has cache creeped placed back where found atm its still there going strong but not a 4.5 right now. tftc

Heh good one

Heading north to get a few new caches which have gone down since our last visit to Tas, TFTC

Found it

Beautiful sunny day for caching with girls.
Found it after abit of search.
Great hide
TFTC

accompanies with Robbyns, 63roos Whitepaws9..hide well....Thanks

Accompanied ALL7 and Whitepaws9 and Robbyns..
Thank you for bring us here and great enjoyed trip of Tasmania..

I wandered in on a Saturday
That should avoid the Skool Bus Muggles

And alone at GZ I poked around for a while
The cache name must mean something !! [:o]
So must the clue ??
Yet they seemingly contradict each other !! [:o]
Or so I thought for a while

Then it struck me !!
Not a brick, but the obvious answer to what I was lookin' for
A few minutes later of searching ...

*... I have run I have crawled,*
*I have scaled these city walls.*
*These city walls !!* [:o]
*Only to be with this cache.*

*But I still haven't found,*
*What I'm looking for !!* [:o]
*But I still haven't found !!* [:o]
*What I'm looking for !!*

Then suddenly !!
A lightbulb moment !!
Of course !!
And a few seconds later I was wresting the cache out of the camo

Amazing how quickly you can catch a dose of "stupidness" while out caching

TFTC.

Quitters luck came to the fore with this one. We were about to give up when Mr DaFiChNi put his hand on something interesting. Thanks katiemac88 for organising the cache. We also found a gorgeous swallow's nest in the corner of the structure, complete with young sleeping birds.

Not today

After some help from CO and Hilbert’s I was able to find this cache, it’s not that easy but it’s not 4.5. This took me ages and definitely would not have found it without there help!
I have seen a similar one before.

Cache is in good condition, Log will need replacing after a few more logs TFTC

Geokid was a great help finding this one tftc

After about 15mins of searching, geohusband had this one in hand. Glad he grabbed for it and not me! Very sneaky hide indeed. Tftc!!

The second type of these ones which we have encountered glad to have this one complete now. Awesome cache and good hiding spot

Sorry to DNF it. Maybe another day.

This one defeated us. TFTChallenge

We were heading to George Town for a couple of days caching so we called in for this one. Our GPS just wouldn’t settle so we resorted to using our phone and good coordinates resulted in a quick find. Thanks for the cache katiemac88

Cache still there
Just well hidden as the difficulty level says.
Sometimes doesn't get put back in the original place which makes it harder to find.

Might need checking up on couldn't see anything....!!

We looked for over 45 minutes and this smiley successfully evaded our search. I am posting this log on 10/11/16 and see that the owner verified that the cache was not missing on 10/8. it is definitely a super good hide. - Zeke & George of Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA

A gorgeous day to be out and about with Astro who's visiting from SA, and a perfect chance to pick up a heap I'd not managed to collect yet.
Many thanks katiemac88 from the Wacky one

A quickly find but putting those nanos back to bed is a doozy.

Thanks to katiemac88 and *clear skies* from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!

Found after a short search. Hardest part was opening /closing the nano. Nice one, TFTC

as we headed back to Launceston for the night we pulled in here to look for this cache. Our GPS had a massive meltdown. The previous two times it did this we lost everything. This time we didnt ( I saved the caches on the GPS and card as well). While the egg got that under control I wandered over and grabbed the cache using my phone. Perfect coords led me straight to it, no issues at all. Quickly signed but not so quick to roll up. Nice one! TFTC

Dnf

Cache is still there! Came back to replace and had a better look, and found cache in a different hidey spot. Back in original spot

99% chance this was muggled. Will keep it active just incase someone comes looking and finds it hiding somewhere on the shelter. Will replace on my next trip past.

oooooh tricky! Spent a good 20 minutes with the geokids poking pretty much everything about with a stick - no luck! Will be back for another try.

After not finding one of these cache containers for ages we find 2 in 2 days! It was exactly the hide type we were expecting though and was quickly located by Mr Beetle in a deserted area. Probably the fact that it is school holidays helped. Thanks.

Heehee ew! Nice hide, TFTC SL

This was day 66 of our trip out of Sydney to visit the southern states of Victoria and Tasmania and was day 24 of the Tasmanian part.

This was a very nice trickly little cache to find. Of course it was in the last place checked. Thankfully there were no muggles around to hinder the search. After the log had been signed the cache was replaced where we had found it. Thank you for bringing us to this area and thank you for placing this cache for us and others to find. We are giving it a favourite point for the camo and the hide.

TFTC! Tried to find this last year with Carlin&sondra but did not have any luck. Took my daughters today and I found this tricky little cache.

Expected this. Very pleasant little spot.

Dnf after search.
thanks

Back in Tassie with whitewebbs finding caches that have been published since our last visit, this is one of them. Took longer than it should, but found nano cache, hiding!!

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Out and about with Tassie Trekkers locating caches published since our last visit to the area. Took awhile but found it in the end. TFTC

Well I was lucky. Find place I perched myself to look I spotted the cache. Pure luck. Oldsaint was slightly annoyed having searched here before

Hi katiemac88
A caching day with Budgietas to Low Head and return to Huonville.

This was the 1st for the day

Had looked for this one once before - constant muggle interference as it was about school bus time on that occasion; so didn't get to really have a good look.

Today no-one anywhere and the big boy dropped into place before I could get a chance and BINGO!

Sainted at 0905hrs

Thanks for a great cache
Cheers OldSaint.

Arrived at the co-ordinates. Just getting settled into serious search mode when I thought I might be muggled by someone arriving early for the bus stop pick up. How do I look like I belong here now, and still keep up the search?? Then a change in the weather justified a not-too-obvious move to the next search location, and it was exactly the right spot for the cache to come to hand. TFTC katiemac88 and top marks for matching your style of hide to the location - absolutely appropriate!

Travelling around Australia and now in Tasmania!

Headed out from Loira to find some more caches on the Eastern side of the Tamar river and into Launceston.

Beautiful in the sun but when it ducked behind the clouds a bit cool.

Found your cache to help us with our exploration of the area. [^]

We were sure we knew what to look for on our last visit but just didnt see it. We had confirmation that we were looking for the right thing and in the right spot. Would you believe on our arrival today there was somebody waiting for the bus [B)]

So we headed down to the Hillwood Cafe and enjoyed a coffee and a pie before returning to search.

Cache spied this time log signed and we were off before another bus arrived.

TFTC katiemac88

Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today. [8)] Hopefully we were just cache blind again.

We are pretty sure we knew what we were looking for but alas didnt sight it today.

What a magic bus stop. Shame some thieving vandals have removed all the solar cables and lights. There was a lot of black forensic powder so hopefully they got a good set of prints to catch the thieves.

Third time lucky with a generous hint from CO I finally found this tricky little hide.
TFT challenging little cache.
Cheers

This is one those tricky caches that drive you nuts tying to find it. I'm sure when I do locate it I'll be kicking myself for not seeing it sooner. Another DNF today for me on this one :/

STICKY, found it with the Geomonkry Grandaughter Holly, on a good muggle free day. Took a little while. Thanks for the cache

Cool cache and hide. Took some searching but came up with the goods. SL TFTC

Out this way with sscharlie performing maintenance on UP, OVER, UNDER ,OUT and thought We'd better come find this one. Well that was a tricky little sticky! TFTC katiemac88

On a wet and wild night. GPS was spinning around with cloud cover. Getting dark and cold. Called it a DNF and will call again on a better day. Bloody nano's

Had me totally lost for a while there. Got to the point where I was about to walk away, however, just check that last spot - where would I hide it - and there it is.. thanks..!!

As a deviation to an unplanned trip to Launceston, we went looking for this cache. All was quiet at GZ - three cars but no muggles. After a hunt, with some help from PAF, the cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache katiemac88.

Wooooooooo Hoooooooo F.T.F with justafan1107 on our way back from a caching trip to Georgetown. easy find when the gps settled down no need for a stick on this one. great one katiemac88 T.F.T.C

What to do on a windy and rainy winter's day? Go geocaching of course. Found on a East Tamer raid with Choppersrule. While out and about in George Town, noticed a new cache had popped up. Called in and were lucky enough to claim FTF, yippeeeeeeeee!!!!! Very cool little hide, took some finding though, no stick needed today. TFTC

Published
