### 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 megawat60 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.Thank youBalayangCommunity Reviewer -Australia

Every time I go to this, I always find it, but now Im too far away so CBFed looking after this anymore!

Same as the title. People are playing boat in the morning. Will visit again in difference time.

Did a bit of poking and hunting but too no avail

Took a long time with Grandfa and bro fun cache was soo hard but easy at the same time

Another Dnf here

I swear I felt in the same spot several times. TFTC

Found the old one quite quickly...good thing to the old guys nearby we old girls are invisible.

Cool thanks

Forgot pen but great hide in general Took pictures instead. Just happpende to have another mint tin with me. It's the older one of the 2

Couldn't find it might be muggled

Found this time.

Great spot, here doing the AL and thinking how is this the only cache here? It's beautiful!! TFTC

Super hard with all the early muggle activity tftc

Managed to turn sad blue face around. Tftf

Found it. TFTC megawat60. Happy to make the find here, replaced as found.
last time I came here there were people having a picnic on the steps. I was in the area doing a AL and remembered there was a cache here, bingo

No one to bother my search early Saturday morning, no boaters but several coots asked what I was doing.
Cache is in excellent condition.

A nice early start had us heading NOR to target a couple of areas that we had not spent too much time in before now. We followed our GPS from cache to cache and picked up this one along the way. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there megawat60, I was in this area today and found your cache Watching the Boat People! GC76MJ2. Our name was added to the log book at 6:45 am on 25 April 2022. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

We took up Geocaching on 3 March 2013 and this cache brings our total find count to - 13409.

No luck today

At last! This DNF has been spoiling my map since June 2018! Every time I am nearby I remember it... slow the car... look over to see the host is in use... and carry on driving. Today though IT WAS EMPTY So I zoomed into a parking spot and quickly walked over for a look. Didn't take too long working my way around the structure before I had success. Very pleased to finally put a smiley here. Thankfully no problems here today - TFTC

Thanks for taking us here found after a through search of the host

The Better Half and I came north of the river today to do some of the newly published caches and others around them. Once at ground zero cache was found without problems. Log signed and the cache returned as it was found.

Thanks DCell for placing this cache for us to find.

Felt like we really committed to the search, no luck! Looks like not seen since September

Had a fairly thorough look, but it was hot so we might try again another day.

No luck here today

Sorry didn’t find.

Thanks very much DCell, for the new log sheet! The water must have been up a lot higher than usual this winter! Thanks again.

Log book was very wet so I've replaced with waterproof paper in a plastic bag

Nice find but log was wet and I was inblento write in it here is some photo evidence

Took a little while but got it eventually. Log very wet TFTC

Braced myself for a long search but actually found after a few mins. Log is soaked so have taken a pic if co wants proof TFTC

Nicely hidden but the log is drenched

This one was beginning to look like a DNF, but observing GZ from multiple different angles eventually paid off.

TFTH .

Found after several attempts. Had to ask CO for directions. The cache is well concealed and hard to find. A favourite point awarded. Thanks for the hide on the lake.

With the water level lower than before I felt confident having another look for the cache. Alas came up cache-less again. Will have to ask the CO for a clue on where to find this elusive cache.

Short time locating this one but found itvat last TFTC

Ooh this took some time. Luckily there were people sailing remote yachts and we could sit and search relatively unhindered TFTC

Took a bit of searching this one, but when I finally just took a seat and relaxed I found it in the first place I looked TFTC

Found with Bjp? Took ages but we got there.
Tftc

Found with Timmo2402. Took a lot of searching for a well camoed but not too hard to find cache. Don’t know how we missed it so many times even with nudges from the CO. TFTC

Doing a maintenance run and all still all good here. A photo of the blank log sheet and the cache looking at the race course!
Can’t see that the D rating is wrong, so its staying at a 2* rating

I check this one so often, and I always find it, so maybe I should up the D rating? Doing some work out of town so will have another check when back in the area.

Looked for ages. Couldnt find.

3 DNF in a row. Needs a check up

Searched thoroughly but just could not find

Catching up on a few logs that I’ve never got around to sending. Please excuse the generic log. Thanks for the find.

Too many muggles to have a good look

Looked a bit more thoroughly, still plenty of muggles, made the find after 5 minutes. TFTH

Yes the last find was catpacity.

Doing a maintenance run and all the DNFs I thought I’d best check but all good. Strange that AtCatpacity was the last signature I could see.

No luck today 0/2 at Jackadder!

First chance to search with no boat people standing on GZ. No joy. Searched 20 minutes and did a little research.

Who would of thought 2:30pm on a Thursday there Wittber 30 people racing boats here - standing on the structure. Come back later.

We clearly can't cache on a hot day with bored children. Mr 6 was occupied with the mud though

Good little hide TFTC!

After spending the last 2 days completing an unforgettable personalised geo-adventure, we found ourselves at the nearby restaurant with the organiser, blinknurdead. Following a quick lunch we decided to take a walk around this beautiful park. Luckily there were no "boat people" here this afternoon, and after a thorough search, we finally made this find. TFTC Megawat60

After organising a secret Santa geohunt for atCapacity, it turned out the final stop was in this park. What a perfect excuse to go geocaching (pfft, like you need an excuse). I managed to stick my hand in some green bird scat before eventually finding it.

TFTC!

Awesome cache! Easy find! Thanks mate

We got there in the end!

We were lucky today there were no boat people in sight so we made a quick recovery and replaced it where found. Thanks for the cache megawat60

Found this cache today in between muggles. Did not have a replacement log with me. I will try and get back with a replacement. TFTC megawat60

No boats today but a constant stream of muggles. In a break in the walkers managed to get my hands on it. Log is soaked and barely usable. Managed to make a mark. TFTC

To hard for us

Haha got it - nice hiding spot, helps a lot if there’s nobody around

Sorry Megawat even with a hint from a previous finder we were unable to locate the prize and not sure that knees will stand up to another search. Maybe we will have to ask the grandies to help next time.

Headed out today to cleanup a few caches North of home. Started with a couple south and then a loop through Mosman park, Wembley Downs, Woodlands, East Perth, Maylands and then back through the city to home in Cockburn.

Had a great morning out with all finds and good to cleanup a couple of DNFs from previous visits.

Thanks to the local COs for their caches and I look forward to finding more down the track.

A real knee bender, but conquered !!

PP1 found it before us. Enjoyed watch some boats - very impressed they have thier hobby... Thanks megawat60.

Got wet feet & a cache, although the former was quite unecessary. TFTC & showing us this lovely spot Sir Megawat60

All good to go! Walked up and had it in hand in a nano second, exactly where I left it on the last check.

This one might be time to let the local Boat People have some peace!

3rd DFN today. Like previous cacher, gave the area a rather thorough going over but nothing

Searched all over this one in between muggles coming & going... Oh my I am really not an urban cacher!!! Must have been here for about an hour before calling quits, pretty sure I gave the structure a good going over, but obviously not good enough

TFTH megawat60

Had a good look here this evening. But if no one saw me, was I even there?

Thanks to the recent maintenance had no trouble here. TFTC megawat60.

With 2 DNF's and the fact that I was in the area today, I thought I would pop in and check on this one. Boy I was pondering archiving it and starting again, but I persisted in my search and finally found it. It had moved a bit so cache creep was in action, but all good and replaced in its original position.
Happy hunting

2nd DNF at this site. Had a good look but couldn't spot or feel the cache.

didn't find him

Found it tftc

Cute little lake here and loved looking for this cache! Tfth

Nice hide in this beautiful area. Took us a while to spot this one as there were many muggles around. TFTC

DNF will try again when not as many muggles

TFTC. Found whilst enjoying a picnic lunch with Dearing Clan.

Found with Otley 5!

Tftc

Great spot to sit and watch the boats. Not scary at all to reach

Looked under and around with 2xextra eyes. No luck however.
No boat launches today so was a free and easy search.
Will declare, no one was brave enough to go reaching into the unseen corners (arachnophobia )
Will come back another time as we come to this excellent park fairly often for walk or play or bbq etc.

No luck here today, not helped by the 1000’s of muggles going past on this fine Sunday afternoon!

Tftc

This one didn't take long to find on a lovely cool morning. It was where I expected it to be. Had to search carefully as there were loads of muggles around this morning, but no 'boat people' to be seen. Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache.

Came back at night time with a torch, not sure if I'm more visible this way or in day light. Signed the log so all is good tftc

Out and about with The_Hall_Pack on a smiley hunt today, happy to say we didn’t encounter any boat people and we came up trumps here today TFTC

Out with Parkacruz having a ball

Not going to log a dnf, only a half hearted attempt as muggle less than 10 metres away. Did try the reverse camera trick and tying up my none existent laces.

Looked twice and couldn’t find it

Easy and quick with The-Shredder. TFTC

No boat people around. Tftc The-Shredder

Great find didn’t bring a pen though sadly

????

We came on Wednesday afternoon right in the middle of a comp. we watched the races and then when they were all packed up we were able to have a hunt around. What a great little hide.
