I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, 4xplore4, 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.

Spending some more time up in the North and North West today and in between meetings and non geocaching related things also made time to search for more of the outstanding and previous dnf geocaches that we are yet to find in the area.
We were determined to convert these previous dnf caches into happy yellow smileys. So despite the torrential rain and boy it was torrential that is not an exaggeration we persevered.
Found this one on the floor, feels a bit awkward to be parked in such a neighbourly cul-de-sac. TFTC

Spending the day geocaching in the North and North West collecting as many yet to be found caches along the ways practical.
Alas this one is still a blue frown for us we searched and searched but could not see.

Out and about caching with Tassie Trekkers around Port Sorell, Squeaking Point, Shearwater and Hawley area and this was one that was targetted. An absolutely glorious day to be out caching. TFTC
A second day of caching in the area whilst camping in the now quiet caravan park. Found this one in a most unlikely location after retiring to the coffee shop half through our morning's caching trail. nevertheless found quickly and safe in its hiding place. However as others have mentioned this log is totally full and the only way to sign at present is to overwrite on top of previous faded logs. Thanks for the hide 4xplore4
Found with Lil Rafa and the geogsp. Staying in Port Sorell for a couple of days. Missed this one last time. TFTC TNLN log dry.
Thanks for the cache 2xplore4.
Spending a couple of days with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP in Port Sorell.
Didn't manage to find this one during our last visit in October. By the sounds of other logs, it was on the ground at the time and I didn't spot it.
Today we returned - being a Monday and it being a bit drizzly, we were hopeful of no muggles in their yards, and we were right. Today it was spotted within a minute. Glad to turn this one into a smiley.

Found it but the log book was damp and full of smuthered writing and log book is also full so co please replace log book but apart from that it was an awesome find.
Came back today to clean up some DNF's and finally found this one.
This bison tube was found on the ground, so i put it on a small branch that can be easily seen on the way in. i have told the CO.

On second attempt I managed to find the cache, however it was on the ground. It is now on a branch. TFTC!
Really don't enjoy this type of hide - in a cul de sac surrounded by people's private residences.
Approached GZ but pretty sure there were people directly on the other side of the fence so decided to bail.

On arrival here I immediately knew I had already done it with GeoMaggie2 in March 2019. Obviously forgot to log it. Found while roaming around Tasmania with our motorhome “Mylittlebus” looking for content for our TASMANIA ALL OVER facebook. Join us there. Thanks for placing this cache (and others), keeping us on our exploring toes.
This was my second attempt at this. On my first there were too many juggles in their front yards. This time no juggles and a quick find. Thank you for placing and maintaining the cache for for our enjoyment.
I have been here many times but there is always someone in there front yard or something today no one seemed to be around so made the search, started with the wrong bush for some time and moved further north, made the quick find then, log book isn’t to flash hot though
Today with COVID19 restrictions easing, I headed to port Sorell/Hawley beach area to clean up the new caches within the area as well as some I had missed on my last visit here. With 32 caches in the list for the afternoon only 22 were found. I will return.

Found quickly before dusk on New Year’s Day.
It felt a bit weird looking near several private properties, not sure if the CO asked for permission to hide the cache at this location.
Cache was in good condition.

Find #4620. Found @ 20:43 with The Good Lady Wife
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.
The Good Lady Wife and I went for a walk around the area that we are staying in to collect the local caches, and this was the first. I felt a little unconformable searching for this as there is a "for sale" board with a sold sticker on it. I guess the area is possible going to need attention when the property changes hands.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

We are staying at Shearwater for the first week of our 3-week Tasmanian adventure so as opportunities present themselves, I'm making sure see the local area via my geo-map as well as attractions further afield.
A straightforward find here today though I felt a little uncomfortable poking around so close to people's homes. Luckily, though, I didn't attract any undue attention. Thanks for the smiley 4xplore4.

This cache had be stumped from the beginning. There was a giant gum tree and then bushes couldn't find them anywhere. Gave up when a muggle walked past and found me scratching around in the bushes.
Mr 11 (CachecrewJack) couldn’t find this one til mum came to the rescue, he circled it lots of times. Great camo for kids, easy for adults made easier by a naked tree anyway lol TFTC
You know the times when you spend ages looking for a cache and the you find it. You start feeling not joy just anger towards yourself for feeling so dumb
After checking in at our accommodation & picking up some essential supplies for our stay we couldn't resist looking for a few local caches.
Took longer than it should have, perhaps we had a mainland idea of the hint!
Thanks to '4xplore4' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

Tassie Trip Day Three
Off a little earlier than yesterday we began with the last of the outer Octagon and eventually we complete the outer. After some consultation with the CO on some of the inner figures we returned after lunch to collect the remaining Inner Octogon prizes. After an unsuccessful attempt at the numbers of the Octagon final we decided to proceed to Port Sorell to collect a few more cache before calling it a day.
What a wonderful thing after doing so many mysteries in a row back to a boaring old traditional this was just what was needed to break the the day up a nice simple puch the coordinates in and go for a stroll thru some bush.
Thanks for the cache 4xplore4 it was a great spot and a nice easy find.

In Tassie for a few days with 6hinemoa2 for some fun caching in the Southern state. A very tricky hide that took us a few minutes to find Thanks 4explore4
Out with Sorceysal for a few days of caching fun in Tassie . We had just driven off the boat after a long night in the recliner lounge and were heading to Ross via Launceston.
Of course we couldn’t go past a cache along the way – detour – never!
We did a little geo dance here feeling very conspicuous as we did it. Happy to spot what we wanted,signed in and moved on.

Quick find, fortunately it is well hidden so local can't really see you. thanks 4xplore4
The search took a few minutes - given the court environment we felt a little out of place but the only signs of life was the postie on his rounds. TFTC
Once Sam (sung) settled on the correct set of long stems this was an easy quick find. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find. Signed log as SG as I often do in small logs to save space.
Hang around and you will find it!
Another beautiful day with my beautiful geowife. TFTC

G'day from WA. This one eluded me today. But hey, it's always a great excuse to come back to Tassie. TFTC
My first find, thank you to my sister for her help. A bit tricky. Loving this.
Stayed in Hawley last night and our main reason for coming here was to do the Octagon Puzzles. We were heading out for breakfast when we thought we couldn't go past this cache without a quick visit. Good cammo and it didn't take too long to find.

The smallest cache we've ever found! Awesome spot! Neighbours gave us a wave! Cheers!
