I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Poldenracing16, requesting additional time, and it appears abandoned.
Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache.

###Cache Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO.
The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 4 weeks to see if either
- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken
**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

Suscoe was heading north today with our final goal being Devonport.
It was a clear day with loads of sunshine.
The temperature got to around 24 degrees as the day wore on but the breeze kept things pleasant.
We enjoyed our trip today and found a good range of caches and even got to chat with a local farmer along the way.
We have been amazed at the wonderful countryside that we have seen as we have travelled around Tassie, it has been a terrific two week visit.
Thanks to Poldenracing16 for this placement, all quiet here today.

Geo-partner and I are on a two week camping trip from Melbourne. We plan to go anticlockwise around Tassie and find as many caches as we can, and experience as much as we can!
Got this on the way to Launceston to visit family! Thank you!

This gave us a good reason to take a break in Campbelltown. The GPS had us between 2 features. I picked one while MummyPenny made the find in the other. Thanks Poldenracing16.
By a very babbling brook found this little beauty.
Even had a picnic table and chair nearby
Thanks Poldenracing16

Found on day 4 of my road trip from the Central Coast, NSW to Tasmania and back. Today: Hadspen to Cambridge, and seeing The Cat Empire in concert tonight in Hobart!
Finally found this one after being attacked by thistle and disturbing some native bees. Oh well, got there in the end!

Nice choice of hiding place Jakob. Logbook is a little damp but I was still able to sign. TNLN. TFTC.
Thanks for placing this quick find for our drive from Ulverstone to Hobart. Great container! Tftc
A nice easy find once I found the right tree and a fantastic cache container, I loved it. TFTC.
Another part of Campbelltown we would never have gone to otherwise. Unfortunately cache container and contents spread all over the ground. Maybe previous finder was a bit slack hiding and securing ? So we collected up all that was there, signed a damp log page and made a good job od hiding in its otherwise great spot. TFTC Poldenracing16
Thanks Poldenracing16 for placing this cache and keeping it on the geo- game board.
Nice little hide, I have never seen a cache shaped like this. Got a bit of mud on the car on the way in so that will give the kids something to clean when I get home!
Done this Cache on a weekend away to Hobart all by myself so was able to find 44 caches including some lengthy multi caches. Also got to see my favourite comedian, some family and friends and a spot of shopping. Just what this girl needed!

Hobart to Devonport, with a spot booked on T1 at 5pm. Rather sad to be leaving this island of fascinating, often gruesome history and incredible scenery.
We must say a big thank you to all the local geocachers who have placed such a variety of caches, which we have enjoyed finding during the last fortnight.
Satellites today had our GZ 8 metres south west of where we found the cache.
Thanks to 'Poldenracing16' for placing this cache.

I was in Campbell Town for a meeting today, and had (made) enough time to clear up the few caches that are here that were, as yet, not found and logged. This is a corner of the town that I had not been to before, so I appreciate being brought here. I stretched my ZHCE (Zero HydroCarbons Expended) policy just a little bit, as I did not have time to walk here from the meeting venue, but am comfortable that, having driven this far for other (more legitimate?) purposes, that was not too unreasonable. The log book was full, and as I had my caching kit with me, I was able to supply a new one as a supplement. I left the original log in place for the CO to recover if desired. Cache owner may like to log an "Owner Maintenance" so that the "Needs maintenance" attribute is removed.
Found with Stan_d_Man while having a few weeks in Tasmania, our seventh day in Tasmania. traveling from Bicheno to Richmond via the Heritage trail. Nice hide, Logbook stil full. TFTC Poldenracing16

Tassie Trip Day 133 - Today we again went off on a drive this time we made our way to Campbell Town and collected a few caches and have a look around.
What an interesting palce, a dead end that was once busy but this time it was quiet and the cache was found after extending the search.
Thanks Poldenracing16 for this place to stop and cache.

I was killing time waiting for a friend to get home in Campbell town once when I was probably 18, had a snooze in the car out the front of his house but the local constable wasn't happy with that and moved me on. I left there and was aiming for the spot closer upstream but missed a turn and found this place (In the dark).
Came back today, very pleasant.
Completely forgot it existed until now.

Ball in treeWe were in Tassie for Father in Laws birthday. We were heading back to Launceston from Hobart and stopped off for lunch. Begged the driver to do a quick detour.
Bit of water lying around here today.... TFTC... took the TB to continue its adventure!
We are camped at Lake Leake campground and today we decided to come to Campbell Town and Ross to have a look around and get some caches at the same time. [^]
We had a bit of a problem getting to this one at first as the GPS was showing roads where there were none!!
Eventually we found the track we needed then after letting the GPSr settle down we found the cache all tucked away nicely.
Thanks for the cache Poldenracing16.

In Tassie for a few days with 6hinemoa2 for some fun caching in the Southern state. The GPS wanted to take us the long way round here but we managed to find the way in. 6H2 had checked this area but a second check came up trumps. TFTC
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 .
Thanks for encouraging us to stop today.
