Native Point Reserve Swan Bay, Tasmania, Australia
By Rocket2015 on 10-Feb-16. Waypoint GC6B4W7

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

No luck today

Great

.

Loved the area, unfortunately couldn’t find this cache after a lot of looking

Co-ordinates wrong and clue didn't help.

Visited Native Point Reserve to have a look around and search for a couple of caches here. The track is very difficult to drive, poorly maintained and full of large potholes (which today were large water pools). We went to the listed co-ordinates, then viewed the hint, and searched all of the hinted objects but were unsuccessful. There is a grassed area at the end of the track with a pebble beach, similar to the one across the river at Gravelly Beach (the name gives it away). Probably will not return here.

We have a few hours spare while up in Launceston so using the time to get out and about geocaching, particularly focusing on picking up as many of the strays we either have not yet collected or the ones we previously have had dnf’s for.

Have not been to this part of the East Tamar before and it’s another good example of if it wasn’t for geocaching probably would never have visited. I’m so glad we did , what a beautiful out of the way reserve. Missed the turn at first so needed to double back. Gates were open there were big puddles almost ponds across the road so took a bit to navigate.


The coords appeared a little out so a fair bit of searching ensued. Just about to give up when decided to have another look and there it was, very clever, but not my favourite type!! TFTC

Looked in lots of tree stumps at the coordinates and further around. Didnt find it.

This was found while on holidays while visiting family. We spent a few days float around the backroads and find a number of hides. We made some great finds and containers, in some fantasitic locations.

I'm sorry for the late logs but catching up on some finds found when last in the area but not logged.

Another great location and a hide that took a bit to find. Got there in the end.

There is so many great views along this part of the river and this was one of them. An easy enough find, once at GZ.

Tftc. Found a while ago but a trip here again reminded me to log it!

Found it after a few attempts , GPS cords are bit off
Thanks for the cache

Found it, but due to a phobia, the log didn’t get signed

found it after a billion attempts.

Found this place when me and the wife was out looking at property came back another day with geokids and the 4x4 as the geo wife did not want to take her car down here had a bit of fun on way in as it had been raining so some big puddles to play in

Track has washed away a bit. I started and discovered it a bit rough for a 2wd. Turned around not far in. Just a word to those other 2wd catchers out there.

out and about with 1 Lil Rafa today caching in the northern part of the state, having completed most of the caches on the Midlands Highway its a straight through trip to Launceston or beyond, This was the first for the morning, a pleasant drive out to this reserve, watch one of the water holes that almost sank the car, lucky for 4WD to get us out. TFTC TNLN log dry, thank you spiderman and Rocket2015.

Thanks for the cache Rocket2015. Heading north today with RLD4963 for a weekend away at Low Head. Decided to take a few little diversions along the way to find some caches, and this was the first for the day. Have never been to this little reserve before and would not have known about it had it not been for geocaching. Took a little minute to find the right location, but then the cache revealed itself. Thanks for bringing us here on a beautiful sunny winter's day.

It took us an inch wincy amount of time to find it. Be careful!

I didn't know that this reserve was here. Thank you for placing and maintaining the cache for our enjoyment.

Found together with Angus88.

Yay finally back out here again so happy that I was able to find the cheeky bugger. TYFTC

Cache went missing again, seems the log it was hidden in had been rolled down the bank and cache stolen. Have relocate to another spot on the same area, hint in photos.
Happy caching

Parked the car and enjoyed a nice walk to location... once there a quick search and the sneaky little critter was discovered )

Tftc

Reminiscent of choppersrule thanks for the opportunity to find such a lovely secluded place

A quick drive down the river this morning, I can to find this back at the start of the year but had no luck after a bit of a search. A message to the CO and confirmed that it had gone missing. A wait for replacement. Back today to make a nice and quick find. A little creepy crawly though.

I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 5000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 70 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

TFTC

The little critter appeares to have wandered away.
Have replaced with a new creepy crawly tonight, so all good to go.
Happy hunting
Cheers
Rocket

I was poking about with a stick looking for this hide and nearly jumped out of my skin when I found it! Clever little cache and a lovely spot. TFTC.

What a positively divine location, I enjoyed everything about this cache, the drive in and checking out the other tracks, the little lunch spot at the end of the track and the container. Well done on bringing me out to this hidden gem.
This cache was hunted, tagged and released by activehunters tftc.

I thought I had found all the easily accessible caches up and down the Tamar's banks !!
But I spied this one on the map at camp last night.
Thus I made sure to take the scenic detour down to Windermere this morning on me commute to Launceston.

A surprisingly large bit of bushland is hidden here among the seemingly endless acreages lining the shores of the estuary.
The bumpy drive in revealed more lovely views out over the waters

Finding the cache was as easy as sticking me paw in a place where a creepy crawlie would hide
Gotcha [^]

Quick find on a family visit to Launceston. It got us to a new area to see. TFTC

A nice secret little spot and probably a good place to dangle a fishing line.
A quick search at GZ and we had the cache in hand. Thanks Rocket2015 for organising the cache.

Walked from main road without a pencil so could not sign. Took photo. Creepy but fun cache. Great walk. Tftc

TFTC an area I would not have found except I was looking for a geocache. Great cameo and all good at GZ. Had to leave quickly as it was nearly sunset and I did not want to get locked in for the night !

Bit of a search. Looking a bit worse for weather!

Great location.

Quick find as just thrown on floor, hidden tftc

Found it after some looking

First find. Live locally so thought it would be a good start... nice hidy hole! Thanks

Live locally so thought it would be a good start! Found with a little searching... thanks!

Visiting Tassie for a few days so great to get some caches whilst here. This was a bit of a tricky drive in with our 4WD - wouldn't like to tackle it in a 2WD at the moment. Found cache lying on ground next to where the hint indicated - probably animal activity.
Thanks for the cache Rocket2015.

Out collecting caches in the general area and this was one of 13 GC caches we picked up. We have been in here a long time ago collecting caches, so always nice to return for a smiley. TFTC

Last for the day and we decided to stop here overnight. Have cached and stayed here before. Pity those caches are gone. After the required happy hour when camping this cache was quickly located only metres from the van. Thanks, a nice hide in a great little spot.

After a frustrating DNF nearby this was a nice find (with a helpful hint AND accurate coords). Great spot with a cute little guardian, TFTC!

Found your creepy crawley on a Sunday Drive. TFTC.

Hi Rocket2015
800 kilometres for 28 cache finds; 7 on day one of the trip and 21 on the second: just 1 GA cache, the rest were GCs - during the trip I logged my 3000th GC find.
Places visited on day 1: Campbell Town, Trevallyn, Legana, Exeter, Supply River, Deviot, Beaconsfield and George Town.
Day 2: Bell Buoy, George Town, Lefroy, Beechford, Young, Swan Point and Launceston.

This cache was the 14th on day two.
The road in has taken a small belting after the recent rains.
Had a quick find albeit when the camouflage was removed I saw nothing. Searched with the hand and soon found it.
The cache was Sainted and the log signed at 1330hrs.

TFTC and cheers

Needed a find for ANZAC Day for dragon zone points so came out to this reserve to get two finds for one, gotta love it! Let mr sharnie's tribe get this one though, great cache container. TFTC

No reserve

TFTC wouldn't have found this lovely spot without it!Nice easy find

This cache nearly scared the fright out of Mrs G. Thanks Rocket. Fav from Mrs G

We had visited the location sometime ago when another, now archived, cache was hidden in the area. The road had many more erosion ruts than we remember from our previous visit and took careful navigation. Thankfully the wind was getting quite strong and was blowing the smoke away, although there were small waves on the river making it interesting for some small boats. We followed our GPS but it didn't lead to a location consistent with the hint. We widened our search area and, using the hint, located the cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. After replacing the cache we noted that both our GPS units indicated that we were 13m from GZ. We took eight sets of readings and the average was S41 18.505 E146 58.703. Thanks Rocket2015! for the cache.

Travelling from Dilston to Exeter via the Batman Bridge, just had to make a detour for this new cache. There's a reason why they tell little kids not to stick their hands in deep dark holes.. thanks..!!

FTF jointly with Tassie Trekkers. We were on a day of finding archived caches when the notification came through. We were about 15klms away and abandoned our archiving search and went for the ftf. Upon arrival we split up and started searching. The cache was located approx 8 metres from the given coords. clever cache container and good hide. A bit of a heart starter. TFTC TFTFTF.

Out and about with GulliversTravels54 when the alert came out we detour from our intended course and were rewarded with a joint *FTF*

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
