Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, eagle-00, 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 needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* 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 eagle-00 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 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.

Found but did not retrieve. Push out of reach. Take something long to drag out and access. Nice place and walk.
Found today on an explore of Ulverstone. I thought I saw a famous cycling celebrity today while searching. I approached him but was embarrassingly mistaken.
A nice spot and a well hidden cache that was right on the money with its terrain rating.
Thanks eagle-00
Thanks eagle-00
We had to come back a few times but we finally found it! Great spot I really enjoyed this one
Out and about caching in the area and this was one that we found. An absolutely glorious day to be out caching. TFTC
Nice walk to this one and then enjoyed crossing the rail bridge. Would love to know why this is called Policemans Point. Lots of places where this cache could be but then turned around and there it was. TFTC
A couple of days off from work and it seemed like a reasonable forecast, so I thought some time in the north west would be good with three aims. One get a break from work, two get a few puzzles that I need to claim a challenge cache in Hobart and finally get a few caches to get the wonders of the World Series done.
The drive up on Thursday was an indication of things to come. Regular showers and very cold. This continued right through the two days. At the end of each day my trousers, shows and socks where Completely saturated.
A few DNFs were had, mainly due to not wanting to search in the current shower more than anything else. Just over 100 finds for the two days, more on the first day less On the second.
Tftc.
Finally came and received this cache while here. Had missed it a few times before, but the weather was with me today, so grabbed it

In Ulverstone today with a list of caches to find. Thankfully this was a quick find as a cold wind was blowing and a quick shower of rain just starting. Thank you for placing the cache for our enjoyment.
Found it after walking round and round for a bit and was in the spot I first thought. Just need to look better.
Beautiful crisp clear day, no wind .............. perfect for a caching campaign. Especially now that Covid19 requirements are a bit more relaxed ! Nicely placed, but thought it was missing due to some fairly fresh graffti at GZ. Not many people about. Good start for the morning. TFTC Eagle-00
A likely hiding place spotted on approach & the log quickly signed. Took a few moments to appreciate the view. Thank you for placing this cache.
We needed a find today to fill a gap on our calendar so headed off Ulverstone way to try our luck. A short walk beside the railway line found us at GZ and we made a quick find with the aid of the hint. TFTC
Tonight in the company of KjStarr we decided to try and find some caches while out driving around. we managed to find 3 GC caches and 4 GCA ones.
approching GZ a likely hiding place was spotted and cache was quickly found.
signed log. TFTC

On a caching trip to the North West and this was one cache we had not looked for before. So we called into GZ and a quick find was had after a bit of a climb. Thanks Eagle for the cache
Find #4639. Found @ 11:37 with The Good Lady Wife and j-bean
We're on a family holiday to the Apple Isle and what better activity to do as a family than find some caches... except that the rest of the family aren't really into caching. Oh well, at least TGLW comes along for the walks.
After stopping in Ulverstone for a bit of a look around, we parked close by to look at the water, and try and find a cache or two. This was the first, and just as j-bean and I approached GZ, there was a pair of muggle youths that crossed the bridge. Not wanting to appear at the end of the bridge at the same time as they did, we slowed way down until they'd departed.
I looked in the right spot first time, but didn't see the cache, after inspecting a bunch of other options returned to the original location and found the container.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

Wasn’t raining today, in fact, it’s probably the best day of winter so far! Good little spot, TFTC
Looked for a while, tried looking at previous hints. Couldn't stay for long because of the rain.
Might come back another day.
Might come back another day.

Our last day in northern Tassie we cached along the coast east from Goat Island to Don. We found a great variety of caches, learnt about the history of the area and enjoyed the brilliant coastal views while managing to dodge the showers. No policepersons about, we made a quick find today.
Thanks to 'eagle-00' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

After finding the multi near by, a short drive down to the river and a search around. I was looking for a mint tin. Oops that not a mint tin.
Today caching was planned around the St Arnaud Preparation event at Devonport. A successful day of over 30 finds, 7 caches types and a new LGA ticked off. Was lucky enough to pick up 4 FTF s long the way.
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.

Took a bit of time to find as I convinced myself it was somewhere where it was not. Should have known better. TFTC Cheers from Canada
Quick find after reading previous logs. Log sheet was full, I have replaced it and a clip-lok bag. CO please contact me if you want the old one returned. TFTC
Needing this one for a Y in January for another cache challenge, Muggle Hubby kindly assisted by locating this one for us.
Thanks for the history and placing this cache for us.

I thought it was going to be harder than it was!! Husband spotted it from below! Tftc.
Found yah have been a few times before but wasn't giving up this time! Could do with a new log book. Thanks for the hide
Tassie Trip Day - 21 well this is our last day at our Ulverston camp tomorrow we move just up the coast to Burnie and as such we cleared out most of the remaining ones in town before doing an afternoon drive around some more of the area in the hills.
Arrived at the location and proceeded to search for the cache and after a short search it was soon in hand.
Thanks eagle-00 for bring us here and showing us an interesting location.

We arrived in Ulverstone today on our last stop of our Tasmanian holiday, and we went and grabbed some lunch and brought it back to this spot to enjoy. This was a lovely spot to visit today, with clear blue skies, and zero wind chill. Once everyone had finished eating, we headed over and located the cache after a short scramble.
Gratias eagle-00.

Bit of searching. Had to scramble further than expected. Took marble. Left sushi rubber. TFTC
I was in the area in order to meet a training commitment yesterday. The Chancellor of the Exchequer (treasurer) wanted to catch up on the craft shop that is closed on Mondays, so after leaving her to her shopping, I headed out to add another smiley to the score. The two nearest caches were showing multiple DNF's and with limited time, I opted to go straight to this one. The cache description gave me most of what I needed, but I was under time pressure (COTE had called to say that her shopping was complete) so I accessed the hint and made a quick find. The log is almost full and falling apart now, so could do with a replacement. Thank you for placing this cache eagle-00, it gave me a good walk and enabled me to escape the shopping precinct.
Hi there eagle-00.
We found your cache **"Ye old policemans point"** at 1:20:00 PM today. (This makes our grand total 18914).
We are camped near Ulverstone for the night, before heading further west. We thoroughly enjoyed our drive around the town today, especially as our GPS has finally acclimatised itself to Tasmanian conditions - and we were able to log caches that we had previously DNF'd. We ended up finding a variety of container types, and sizes, and our find count was 6 caches today, with 2 DNF's.
Thanks for placing the cache here. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

A quick scramble up the slope and there was the cache
Too easy !! [^]

Hi there eagle-00.
This is the 2nd of 5 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]
We spent quite some time here at around 11:06:00 AM, but we just couldn't locate your cache, so here's a DNF from us.

Our second cache after the Canada Day event. Muggles sneak up quick on you here as we found. Team R made a quick find after reading the hint. SL TFTC eagle -00
A very well hidden cache that took quite a bit of finding. No pointing policeman about, bit disappointed.. thanks..!!
Had the cache in sight but muggles drove in to the parking lot. Mr Youban again became the subject of photo session. Muggles were waiting me out so I decided on the old lady looking like she might fall at any moment scenario & they decided they didn't want to be ringing 000 & left. Cache retrieved & log signed. Great hide at the end of our walk. Kutgw
Found this Cache on our trip around Tassie.

At first I didn't go far enough up but spotted the container from the top. As a train had gone through only a short time ago fairly confident no more would be passing for a while. TFTC.
