The situation here has been reviewed again.Sufficient time has elapsed since the issues were highlighted, and nothing has been done to restore it. Circumstances that prevent timely maintenance can arise, and ample opportunity for the Cache Owner to get in touch to request a time extension has been provided.No request has been received from the Cache Owner, brilou9, for further time to restore the cache.** It appears to have been abandoned by the Owner and, therefore, will be Archived.****Caches lost in this manner will not be Unarchived.**This area is now available for other interested players to utilise for cache placement if viable locations can be found.

### 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.It certainly needs to be 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, or the posted coordinates.* 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 that 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 brilou9 and to take it off the playing board to prevent further inconvenience to our Geocaching Community.[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 taken by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will conclude 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 and 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 youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer

I really think that this one is missing.

Either the termites have beaten us to it (and eaten the cache & its contents) or it has got on a plane and gone for a holiday It could be half-way to Germany by now

With four sets of eyes, still no luck. Tree may have fallen since last find concealing the cache.

Had a good look, but couldn't locate.

Disappointed to get this one but really didnt see many obvious places

Sooo satisfying

Yah easy find with MellyJR20

Hallow it is!! Cheers with VB2013

Headed over to Darwin for a break with tmann421.Really enjoying the weather and the challenges of the hides.Logs signed tm/ww NZNice quick find here.Thanks to the cache owner for their efforts

Nice find with woolwood9 today. Day 4 of our 9 days in and around Darwin. SL *tm/ww NZ* *Thanks for the reason to visit the area!* Another good quick stop for the cache along this nice walkway area.

Found

Arrived into Darwin today staying at a lovely farm stay.
As we had to do some maintenance on our own cache we headed to the airport region to do a couple of caches around there.
What a great way to tour the country following the geocaching trail.
Thanks to the CO for placing this cache

Day 67 of our greynomad trip up north from Vic, after a the JLWEvents in Wudinna SA, a tour of Maralinga and caching to claim LGAs in the Eyre Peninsula, through to Allice Springs, Uluru and now Nth NT, we have finally escaped the southern weather that has been wet and windy. Not sure that we are acclimatised to the northern heat yet as we are feeling it by early afternoon, but out sightseeing and caching in the morning. It is also day 66 of a streak, so we would like to keep it rolling.

A bit of caching around Jingili and a visit to BCF and Spotlight on the agenda today. The right approach revealed the hide.

TFTC SL TB's visited

A return visit to Darwin with iluvtrekking after eleven years. Enjoying the mild dry season weather as we explore the city and suburban caches. Thanks for the hide.

Travelling with richlink on a trip from Perth to Darwin and return down the centre. Today, we are enjoying the sights of greater Darwin. Thanks brilou9.

The first cache of the trip well the first we found at any rate. Also my first ever cache find in the NT

This trip was sort of in place of a trip to a Mega that got canceled due to accommodation problems, I was quite happy when Goose said do you fancy to caching break in the Northern Territory as this would be the last State or Territory for me in Australia.

Our plan was to fly into Darwin on the Friday night have a couple days in the area then start heading South stopping overnight whenever we needed to, our next goal was the drive to the geographic centre of Australia at Lambert Centre and then head back to Alice to fly home ten days later.

We both had a great trip finding some important old caches, large ones and the odd clever one too, we found Ammo Cans all over the place which was nice as i think we have found most of the ones at home in Tassie.

Thanks for the cache.

Found on 30/06/2023 thanks to brilou9 for placing this cache for me to find.

A quick find nearish the airport. Now we've made a start. Thanks brilou9

Our Northern Territory journey began in Darwin around 3am after a very delayed flight. We drove as far north as Fresh Water Camp (northeast of Darwin), followed by a loop to Liberated Cox (out to the west) and Litchfield National Park returning to Darwin. We then headed south with overnight stops at Katherine, Daly Waters and Devils Marbles before reaching our southernmost accommodation at Erldunda. From here we did a day trip to Lamberts Gravitational Centre on onward past Finke. Our last couple of days were in Alice Springs with a side trip via Hermannsburg and Glen Helen, all up covering just under 3800km. My thanks to all the COs with hides throughout the territory for helping make our trip so enjoyable.

I’m visiting family for the week and finding time to geocache as well. Found two caches so signed the new log as the original was too wet. Tftc

Just back from the ANZAC parade thought it would be fun to have a little adventure tftc

Cache replaced and ready to be found

I thought I'd search for a few caches whilst waiting for my flight to East Timor

I had a solid search for this one but came up empty-handed

Some very clever hides along this trail. Thanks Brilou9

Quick find

Nice Cache

On a business trip to Darwin I was looking for some caches and quickly found one here on a short sunday stroll.

Greetings from Germany and TFTC

Walking backward from Novotel. Easy find and SL.

Found it

Real simple one

I gotcha, cheers!

Good spot

Apologies for the late log. It's many years since I last visited Darwin (pre-caching in fact) so when Hawthorn had an AFL fixture scheduled there this season I planned a brief trip to see the game. Having watched the game and spent the night in Darwin I was heading back to the airport. I had a challenge of needing to find 10 finds in the NT (including a puzzle and a multi) and unsure of my finds from the previous day I left in plenty time and got the uber driver to drop be about 1km from the airport terminal so I could try a few more before my flight.

This one was next on the list and it was easier to get to than the previous one which was a relief. Picked the right spot and soon had the cache in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache brilou9. Good news was I ended up with 13 finds (excluding Adventure Labs) over the two days so mission accomplished for the state/territory challenge!

Great hide. Enjoyed this find. Great cache too. Thanks

Great cache

Spending a few days in the area. Thanks for hiding this cache and giving us the opportunity to explore .

Snake central! Careful peeps!

Wet and flooded area, but nice find

Log a little damp as no plastic bag found. Cache on ground moved to slightly higher location

Continuing our search for some sunshine. TFTC brilou9

An early start from Perth to Darwin, after collecting our luggage and car, we headed out to start chipping away at the Darwin caches. After a brief search we came up trumps and walked away with a smiley here today

Found 9/8/21 photo taken

Out on our bike today, so nice on the god cycle tracks. just doing the ones along the sleep hollow trail.

Enjoying the hollow series, cache had just been maintained from the looks of it. TFTC!

Maintenance done

Nice quick find today.
Fairly obvious given the hint, but not a difficult search if you are prepared to reach and move some camouflage.
Visited 3 TB.
TFTC

We found fishing line but no cache so wondering if the cache needs maintenance or if the fishing line is not related.

Tftc nice.

Nice easy one, thanks. TFTC

Cache maintained with replacement. Good to go.

Found but unable to open . TFTC

Quick find before leaving Darwin and NT and returning East. Tftc

Quick find on an airport foray

Darwin Day 2, Sector 2 (Ludmilla - Dripstone Park)

Stopped for bit at the Golden Arches near Bagot to cool down a little and have a little snack. The heat has been building up through the morning, and yet, there’s still plenty more caches to find. I cycled northwards through the Northern suburbs to get to the coastline, where I will turn around and head south, back to the city.

The following is the specific log for each cache:
Very nice set of caches by this nice trail. This first one was fairly straightforward. I walked up to the right tree and spotted the cache immediately. TFTC!

Found both the old and new logs
TFTC’s

The container was on the ground, so I put it where I thought it was probably meant to go. TFTC.

Today we explored Darwin and surrounds picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them.

This took some time but got there in the end, tricky!, thanks brilou9 for the cache..

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Having a couple of spare hours between flights, I took the opportunity to go for a walk and find a few caches near the airport.
This was a quick find. Thank you for the cache brilou9.

Found with the LandlockedSailors. Tried to dry it all out for replacement. Tftc!

The log wasn't just soggy... it was a sloppy mess by the time we found it! Dried out the bag and replaced the log with a fresh piece of paper.
TFTC, brilou9

Cache intact and area cleared for finding it.

TFTC

Found cache but was too soggy to write on the paper.

Cache check after cyclone Marcus.
Parking is still available nearby but the usual spots and drive through are still blocked due to the fallen vegetation. If caching the area be mindful of the vegetation around and over the path as the wreckage from Cyclone Marcus has not been cleared.

Inaccessible still post cyclone to check at this time. Will check when area is accessible again.

After shopping and dropped off the grandchild in the kindergarden had a nice walk back to Jigili waterpark.
Found some caches on our way. )
Sometimes the shet was wet, sometimes found anything

This one was wet.

TFTC!

Logbook is badly soaked.

Seeing that this cache had been both replaced and relocated I came back for another look. This seems like a much sleepier hollow and a nice place for a cache to live! This is a lovely area - thank you for placing this series of caches and bringing me here.

We headed out today to try and find some of the caches along Rapid Creek in an area that we hadn't explored before.

This cache was found quickly and was in good condition in a lovely location.

Thank you for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.

Coordinates changed to:
S 12° 23.996 E 130° 52.511

Distance from original: 190.1 feet or 58.0 meters.

I have replaced the cache again and moved it to a nearby location. The old location became a busy through fare and meeting area, and during this time the cache has been removed several times. The new location is nearby but in a less conspicuous, and quiet traffic area. It still has relevance to its name. I trust the new co-ords are accurate but there is overhead cover that maybe interfering with the GPS signals. Feedback would be great.

Too good for me today. On a previous visit I didn't stop as the area was full of people. No-one about today but lots of evidence of a fire and recent party. I searched all the appropriate spots I could find but came up empty handed. Thanks anyway.

Cache checked still where it should be

A late night stroll brings me to this site. Gps a little over the place but settles down eventually. I checked everything in 10m radius and gave up when the excessive time looking outweighed the D rating. Starting to miss my oregon 650 GPSr it has waaay better reception in covered areas!! Not sure whats going on with these hides but am starting to think no one is logging DNF's as other caches nearby are being found!!!
How is the CO going to know if they need checking peeps!!!
Thanks for highlighting this path it was a pleasent walk

Out and about on a lovely dry season day with CaD and corunnaroad... soon had this cache in hand Thanks brilou9 for this series:)

LOvely area to cache in. Thanks for placing a cache here. Enjoying the series with DBO and CAD1.

Out and about on a lovely dry season day with DBO and corunnaroad... soon had this cache in hand Thanks brilou9 for this series:)

Cache replaced with restraint in place to try to deter from it walking off again. Cache all good to find again.

Needs maintenance as it appears to have walked or been assisted to walk off the job. Back in business very soon without trainers!

Congratulations Deafsanta and deafpwee for FTF.

YAY YAY our third luck FTF with Deafpwee TFTC
