###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

This cache is carrying a maintenance log which needs to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make regular visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. You need to disable the cache if you cannot attend to it promptly - I have disabled it this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days**

If you cannot respond to the situation as requested, please add a note to the cache page detailing the situation **and providing an actual date when you expect the situation to be resolved.** This is to allow others to understand the what is happening - as well as - to prevent the cache from being de-listed as abandoned.

Have a read of the [Geocache Maintenance guideline](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) which explain a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing this cache up and running in the future.

I am at the exact location and have looked thoroughly, and judging by the most recent entries, it’s definitely not here. :/
 
15-Apr-18
Saw the DNFs and decided to attempt anyway. No result - could CO step in ASAP to tend to this cache.
 
06-Apr-18
I had previously found it and happened to drive past yesterday when Jalmac were there.
Walked past later to find it missing. The owner needs to attend. Such a great natural spot, but many muggles passing. Very likely someone has deliberately taken it away. Sad
 
05-Apr-18
Couldn't find this today. After reading previous entries I think this cache may have gone missing
 
01-Apr-18
I am fairly certain this one is gone. I found the brick a while away from GZ but no CIH. There was also another obvious spot at GZ which had nothing there. Or maybe I am just cache blind.
 
01-Apr-18
See my DNF. I think CO should check on it.

09-Mar-18
Had a really good dig at the right spot. Nothing here or I am cache blind.
 
02-Jan-18
Quick find, but logging took a while, as running muggles had to pass
 
22-Dec-17
Found this one cache today at 10:15pm after a beach party. Thanks from D, HA, H & A B-A
 
15-Dec-17
Scored a soft ball. Find 1630 while out with The Swaggies at 15 December 2017 12:35 pm
 
15-Dec-17
Out today with Yorsys collecting a few local caches. Find 5698 Thanks to the previous finder for the brick as the GPS was wandering a bit.

The hiding place for this one was way too obvious so I put a brick in front of it.

Thanks suzuiqSmile

I was walking down the path thinking to myself that that spot would be a good hide, stopped to check my GPS and found it pointing directly to the spot I noticed. Couldn't see any cache there at all, but found it well hidden. Had to wait for a couple of walkers to pass before returning the container back where I found it.
Nice Community Garden just up the road, with a couple of people working in it.
Thanks for the cache SuzuiQ

Checking out some running/walking tracks and cafes in the area and stopped here for our picnic lunch. A very popular spot on this sunny school holiday day, but this cache was well away from the high Muggle area. Another quick easy find in the obvious spot. TFTC and brining us to this park. TNLN.
 
15-Feb-17
Another quick find.. Tftc
 
05-Feb-17
Madness ? - attempting to find the cache after the GPS had died !! Wink

Back to the car, quick recharge & off again in the drizzle, before the storm ! Boy did it rain !!

Nice quick find in the right spot !

TFTC, botany notes & self-inflicted excursion, suzuiq.
 
05-Feb-17
Today was a bit warm for a bike ride so I took the car instead so I could enjoy the air con after returning from each short walk and search. It also enabled shorts and thongs caching as well to keep cooler.
I only had about 2.5 hours but managed to find all that I looked for except for one which looks like it has been in a fire.
Nice quick find, even managed to park mere metres away even with the road works going on nearby.
Thanks suzuiq for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.
 
02-Feb-17
Nice easy find.

A last minute decision to head out caching today with lukie1987. A quick online search to find an area we both hadn't done, and here we are. Smile
GPSr had us out in the open for a minute, but then settled on the right spot. TFTC Smile
 
09-Jan-17
Ended up heading out with ozhockeychick to a location we both haven't cached in.

We ended up gettign a few under our belts and the weather was perfect for caching in.

TFTC.

Ending a 2016 slump with 4/4 caches on a cloudy New Year's afternoon. The younger geobrother made a quick find here. TFTC!

A short walk from the safe carpark to gz. We made a quick find of the nicely hidden cache and wrote our name (with invisable ink, as that was the only pen we had) in the log. Tftc suzuiq

Staying in Chelsea Holiday Park (which is really a residential village with 5 caravan sites!) and went for a walk late in the day when it cooled down a bit. This was an easy find and made the walk worthwhile. TFTC

Quick find after work today in the rain... TFTC

I don't think there is too much wrong with a bit of mint tin madness. It gives us a find, gives us a reason to get out of the house and return to areas we haven't toured for a while.
Pulled up and grabbed this almost instantly, signed and rehid.
Thanks suzuiq for more caching fun
 
29-Oct-16
Thanks for the great hide. Fantastic park. Bring the family, fur family and picnic!

On holiday, for a few days, in Chelsea with our daughter. Out for a walk this morning in the ‘bracing’ air, blowing the cobwebs away, and picking up a few caches on the way Wink. Thanks ,suzuiq, for leaving your walk ‘encouragement’ for us along our pathway. Greetings from New Zealand
 
07-Oct-16
After the DNF earlier in the week the CO suzuiq kindly sent me a message letting me know that the cache had been muggled and had now been replaced. With a slight detour I found myself in the Bon Beach area and chasing this hide. The cache was quickly found with a nice new shinny log book inside.
T4TC.

Found a very flat mint tin on the ground near GZ but no sign of any log to sign.
 
02-Oct-16
Had a good look, tried my mint tin tool without luck. Another time.

Camouflaged well but found easily with hint!!!

My deepest and sincerest apologies for the absolutely woeful logging time for this cache. I currently have a backlog of 460 found it logs from the last three years. Yikes! Obviously, many of these will be difficult to remember and with such a big backlog I simply have to do a default log (other than a few special favourites along the way). I am writing this on the 18th of May 2019, when this log is for 18/08/2016 Thanks to all of the owners and sorry for the pitiful log!

Having found Mint tin madness 2, I continued my journey across to number 1. This area was well lit and I didn't even need the torch. Being night time. I inadvertently picked up an eight legged friend as I retrieved the hide. With him swept off my hand I was free to add my name to the log and then head back to the warmth of the car.

Thanks suzieq for placing this cache.

First find to day while on a errand out this way

Its the day of The Harvest festival so me n the wife thought we would come visit . Festival was good fun saw some bands watch a show and ate too many dohnuts. Well how better way to work of them sugary treats . Got to ground zero to find a lady who logged before me sitting right under a tree i was eyeing. Knew it could only be a fellow cacher. Nice to meet you mrs squared. Chatted a bit then log was covertly passed on to my to make my mark . I took her place signed and placed back to wence it came . Tftc will revisit this park again im sure
 
07-May-16
Easy find, well hidden. Met a fellow cacher as I was looking inconspicuous- nice to meet you to the gentleman who logs this very shortly! TFTC.

I was in Chelsea visiting a muggle friend who lives around the corner from this park. After lunch she said that she needed to walk her dog so I suggested I show her...and her canine Razz ....what geocaching was all about seeing as I had talked about it so often.

This was the last of three caches I took my friend and her canine to in this park. We found a cache a few hundred metres away and then had a lovely stroll along the trail to this cache. Thanks to the spot-on co-ords we found the cache quickly and signed the log at 4:25 pm. TNLN. We then headed back to my friend's place.

Thanks suzuiq for the good hide. It was lucky we found this cache quickly as my friend's canine was now getting mad and cranky. Razz I don't think that I converted my friend into a geocacher but she said that she would like to join me in some future geoadventures. [^]

A quick find after a frustrating DNF nearby - we spotted the likely hide early but had to wait for a break in the steady stream of Muggles about on such a lovely day.

Once a chance appeared Dad nabbed the container and signed the log. TFTC!

Find #1947

A quick stop off here on the trip home from work hoping for a quick find before the next errand. I headed to to the right spot and not making the find immediately I started to wander. Now sometimes this pays dividends but not in this case. I checked, I poked and I prodded, wandered back to where I started and tried again. This time I was a little more diligent in my search and the cache was in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache suzuiq.
