Not Down the Lane Broadmarsh, Tasmania, Australia
By HAZZA07 on 15-Jul-16. Waypoint GC6NFTB

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, HAZZA07, 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 HAZZA07 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

Lots of horses but no cache. That said there isn’t a lot of mobile reception either, and which may have been why we didn’t find it.

Sorry dnf

Spent too much time here for nothing. I think it gone,
.

No luck up here

Couldn't find this one.ay meed checking

Thanks

Didn't bother to stop after reading previous log. May need a check

Second visited today, took me 30 mins looked around but no see any berries area... still nothing there..

CO need maintenance

With a house directly overlooking me and all that thick Ivy my search here was brief.
discovered an old tin container under the ivy but no cache was there so i widened my search a bit but still didn't find anything. Oh well, can't find 'em all.
I bet it's a ripper hide too

Thanks for the challenge and the nice countryside views. It was a nice leg-stretch

Not enough time

????????????????????????????????????????????????

Today we headed off to Launceston for our first post-COVID-lockdown getaway. Having now found most of the caches along the Midland Highway, we elected to take a slightly circuitous route via the Highland Lakes, picking up a few caches along the way.

This was an interesting one! Approaching GZ in the car, it was pretty evident where the lane in question was. That said, an initial examination of the section between the road and the gate turned up nothing, and only proved that there were many potential hiding spots. The blackberries seemed pretty unlikely (ouch!), but there was plenty of long grass to hide a cache in. Unfortunately, no amount of searching turned up the cache, even after taking the hint into account.

Our only option was to widen the search, hoping the whole time that the residents of the house across the road weren't paying too much attention to us - we'd have struggled to explain ourselves if we'd been questioned!

Eventually widening the search paid off - we finally spotted something hidden away just off the lane, a little closer to the road than our GPSr had suggested. It's definitely well hidden!

Thanks for a memorable and unusual cache!

I came through here last year but couldn’t find this one, back today and made quick work of the cache.

Today I decided to head down to Hobart for the day and collect some targeted DT caches and some others in amongst them for the day, apart from the 30mins of rain the day was quite pleasant for caching.
All up 49 finds and 10 adventure finds.

Thanks for the cache

????

Saw some syringes, no blackberries.

Thought that there may have been an issue with recent burning off in the area, but thankfully the cache is not affected. Found the cache after a little bit of poking around. TFTC!

found it but funniest looking blackberries I have ever seen. left some stash

Found it!

Today we try to catch some caches to make friendly Smilies.
So we drive in this area and can find on the way this cache. Everything is fine.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi.

Tftc

a nice quick find . all's good with the cache . thanks HAZZA07 got them all now

Lol finally found

Found fairly quickly after getting down and dirty - well not really but certainly down... first glass bottle cache I have seen, left a dinosaur so that at least the next Geokid has something to look at Thanks HAZZA07 for this hide.

workers parked at gz having lunch so did not look . will have another go next time i'm up this way

Confused by this, as there were no blackberries at GZ (picture); only another plant (convolvulus?) and a discarded bed mattress. I expanded the search a little, but a DNF.

Okay, now I have looked at another image and see my mistake. There is a metal container among the convolvulus (not blackberries). I should have found the entrance to that. The blackberry hint confused me as there were none there.

Tassie Trip Day 50 - The weather was looking good so a drive was decided to go for a little trip and see what we could see and as usual collect a few caches along the way today we managed to collect 15 smilies and also 2 frowns (DNFs) so it was a really nice day even with the change in weather during the day from find to rain but the rain was only intermittent so it was ok for the day.

Arrived at GZ and soon had the cache in hand however it would appear that the container has shrunk in size but the log was marked and returned to its place of finding.

Thanks HAZZA07 for showing us this place.

Took a while but finally found it

Found it. TFTC

Retuned to this cache and found it. I saw it previously but was put off by the needles. Came today prepared and quickly found the cache.
TFTC.

A little perseverance was required.
At one stage I thought someone was calling out to me, but no one appeared to be around.

a different outcome from the first look for this one, the new cords are better. TFTC TNLN log dry. a cool dry day off from work.

This one had us a bit confused but we found it.

Out on a cold misty morning to get a few new caches which have gone down since our last visit to Tas, TFTC

Found the drum. Could find a cache inside but there were some syringes so I stopped looking.

Coordinates changed from:
S 42° 40.313 E 147° 9.044

Coordinates changed to:
S 42° 40.315 E 147° 9.054

Distance from original: 46.6 feet or 14.2 meters.

Updating coordinates on behalf of the CO.

Read back through some old logs and used the coords that had been suggested by a previous cacher before finding the cache. Certainly well hidden. TFTC HAZZA07

Hi,
Logs indicate that the actual coordinates are S42 40.315 E147 09.054
Could you please investigate the situation, and perform the necessary maintenance.
This may involve posting an Update Coords log to correct this problem. Perhaps the coordinates should be re measured using an averaging technique.
Thanks.

DNF with 63roos....

DNF for today with ALL7, took us long searched, but good spot, no cache!!!

Need CO maintenance!!!

No luck today

Interesting black berry TFTC

Sorry late log, found this while out caching with gooseandegg.

After looking in the wrong place we got it right in the end.

thanks for the cache.

Stainless steel rat and I were out geocaching on the 'other side'. We had one main goal, to take back Southern Midlands for Minotaur. If you don't do GCA you won't understand.
Anyway this was the only one I hadn't done along this road so ask SSR to make a detour so I could tick it off. At GZ we used the provided coordinates but found nothing but scrolling back through some old logs helped. Alby's updated coordinates were perfect and we then found the cache with no problem.
Now to backtrack to Brighton to continue our quest.

I was out by a bit but got there in the end. Enjoyable drive

Hold the phone! Found it just we were about to leave. One more look where the revised coords were pointing... and... aha! There's a drum! And there's a cache inside! So glad the ripped jeans, splinter and spider scare weren't all in vain!

TFTC - it's closer than you think! New coordinates were spot on.

Put off by the description, more so by the blackberries ripping at my jeans. Read other logs, found a drum (through a gate), but only a giant spider in residence. Got a big splinter in the back of my hand... time to go!

Great one. Xx found the drum

Neighbours were rather interested.....thanks for the cache!!

Hmmm.. after reading the previous logs came to this location with a degree of trepidation. Found the drum and thankfully there was no chicken in residence or other obvious sharp nasties present. The smell was something unique with god knows what and broken eggs about. Not up there amongst my most enjoyable caching experiences.. thanks?..!!

Quick find thanks to Alby's coordinates. TFTC

hi HAZZA07, was caching in the area today with Lil Rafa and the geoGSP. We pulled up just up the road a bit, and were soon greeted by 2 dogs from the very nearby farmhouse. The dogs were friendly but the resultant noise alerted the owner, who called their dogs back. We then felt a little vunerable to scrutiny as we walked to GZ. A fairly quick find, thanks to previous logs. TFTC.
Thanks also to AlbyDangles for his his CITO clean-up effort, helping to keep fellow cachers a little safer.
#589 @ 1430hrs Saturday 8th July 2017

Met up with EeePees today for an afternoon of geocaching in the Brighton area. We had now commenced the 'park and grab' part of our afternoon. Having pulled over on the side of the road, the GeoGSP decided to announce his arrival. This resulted in a visit of two dogs from a nearby farmhouse, and although friendly, their owner could be heard calling out to them. So we stayed put until they had returned to their owner and it was ok to get the GeoGSP out of the car and go for a stroll in search of the cache. We strolled quickly to GZ, EeePees spotted the cache and we were soon back in the car and on our way. Thanks for the cache HAZZA07.

Quick find, by using previous logs adjusted Co-ords. Thas HAZZ

No idea...

Had expected some problems but the corrected coords supplied by other cachers and the tidy up completed by AlbyDangles led to a quick and clean find.
TFTC

Unfortunately the only one we didn't get to look for on this trip out to Elderslie. Skipped this one on the way as it looked like the parking would be better on the other side.
Pulled up on the way back but a muggle was sitting at the window of the house opposite so we thought it prudent to not get out and search. Maybe next time!!!!

HAZZA07 thank you for the cache.

**NEW cords S42 40.315 E147 09.054**

After reading previous logs came ready.
1. Thick leather gloves
2. Surgical glover
3. Triple lined bags.

As the cords are out it took a while to find the drum once found I got ready for the clean up.
I managed to get **MOST** of the needles and syringes out of the drum.
I have left the cache at the front left side of the drum that way you don't need to upset the hen or go near any needles I might have left.


Found at 10:30:00 AM
**TFTC**

We read the previous logs after not locating this cache then realised the bit of the drum I had uncovered by dragging apart a heap of icy was the likely place. Pulled the rest of the ivy off and found an opening. Saw what looked like a cache container way in the back and a very big black chicken who refused to move no matter what we did. Also quite a few syringes and we decided not to assume they were from use with the horses nearby and gave this one a miss. Not that missy chook was going to move for us without a fight anyhow. Lol. Won't log this as a find as we never actually retrieved the cache but does need some attention.

TFTC. Found it ages ago but just realised i forgot to log it. Great hide.

????

Might be an idea for the CO to review this cache as per 2ystassies and budgietas logs. We didn't get out of the car for a closer inspection but bypassed the cache based on the previous logs.

Just for info....the Stumble's didn't even try to get this cache based on the information from Budgietas. We drove past, had a quick look and it didn't appear to be any cleaner. We didn't get out of the car for a closer look.

Found the cache but refused to reach in among the used needles to collect the cache. Cage needs to be archived before we have a major problem

8/10/16 11:53 am

Budgietas' log is a real surprise. The only things in the drum when we found the cache three days ago were over 2 dozen eggs and the logbook in the glass jar. Things have certainly taken a turn for the worse in a few days. At a minimum the cache needs to be temporarily disabled to take it off line, and then the area cleaned up. Then the CO needs to decide if the same location is to be used again or the cache archived. Archiving alone doesn't clean up the problem.

It has been some time since we have had a trip south specifically to cache. We set the date a couple of weeks ago and despite an adverse weather forecast, we still decided to make the trip. This was our second search for the day and took quite some time. We identified GZ and searched the immediate area. When we had no success, we gradually widened our search area and got quite a surprise. At one point we disturbed a large black hen sitting on about a dozen eggs. She took off and went over the blackberries - hope she returned after we left. We continued our search and used the name of the cache to focus our search. It wasn't long before we located the cache but there was another surprise. Although a feathered incubator wasn't in residence, we found the cache surrounded by about two dozen eggs. Being in a confined space we were rather circumspect as we tried to retrieve the cache as we know that eggs are a delicacy for snakes. Although it was probably too cold, we didn't want to take any chances and were very careful. We would not like to be retrieving the cache in warmer weather. The cache and contents were in good condition. After signing the logbook we saw that we were about 15m from the published coordinates. We took two sets of readings and the average was S42 40.315 E147 09.055. Thanks HAZZA07 for the hide. We are giving this a favourite because of the two unexpected finds.

TFTC! I think washing needs doing now...

No luck today, even phoned a friend who made a few suggestions. If correct terrain level would need to be higher, but still no cache, only scratches.

After a bit of a look with no luck I decided to widen the search area and something looked out of place and the container was found. Tftc

Whoo hoo found this one after a relatively short search...but got dirty and prickled during said short seach regardless! Thank goodness for Geohubby Willbert7074 , his 2nd find for us today cute little hide! Tftc

Good hide hazza07.we got some prickled

Found it at 11:45am. TFTC

Hi HAZZA07
Today was a very quick find on this cache.
Sainted the cache, signed the log and replaced as found at 1415hrs.
Horses were great to look at - know Gerard and Bob real well.
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

TFTC took me 2 days but finally found it good hiding spot

TFTC! A great hide and a very enjoyable find. Congrats to Hazza07 for your first hide and also to Ausandaus2 for being first to find!
This is definitely one of my favourite caches in Broadmarsh, so thanks again Hazza07.

Today I went on a cache maintenance run along the Elderslie Road with aus. We stopped to look for this one and initially I did get dirty, but no cache was found. Tried elsewhere and BINGO.
Thanks for the cache HAZZA07

Hi HAZZA07
Found today with deercheetah. We had a bit of fun looking in the wrong place!
Congratulations and thanks for your first hide.
