##Cache Maintenance Required please.##This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs. The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance). If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on. When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided. If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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 youBalayangCommunity Reviewer -Australia

I checked all the logical locations for something that would be magnetic and came up empty. It might be there, but perhaps the CO needs to stop by and check it out.

Out on a caching day with tassietan and we decided on the Jericho-Oatlands area.
Having overshot the cache we did a tricky uturn (not easy on this highway) and parked on the right side of the spot.
tassietan had the cache in hand in no time while I took a pic.
Thanks OldSaint.
 
15-Jan-22
Out with RoadieM today targeting some Jericho and Oatlands caches. Overshot the cache so had to do a u-turn - not an easy feat on the busy highway today! Parked safely and I made a quick find while the cars whizzed by. Thanks OldSaint.

#12718 - 4:53:00 PM; An impromtu visit to Hobart so the geogirls could attend the Salamanca Markets provided an opportunity for a spot of caching. Noticed this cache on the trip down and made a quick stop to claim the find on the return journey. No problems collecting this one today as the highway was quiet. TFTC OldSaint Smile

Such a great spot to view the table. Unfortunately at this time the sun was just a wee bit behind it.
About sunrise would have been the best time for a professional telephoto shot with Quality, Canon L-Series glass [^]

I did find the booty but Wink

Muggle Hubby noticed the unusual shape of the table as we drove along, so we stopped to find this cache and get a photo of the feature, whilst dalerious located it.
I’d love to see it with the tablecloth on.
Thanks for placing it here OldSaint

I have viewed the Table over many years while traveling to and from the north of the State. Never had reason to stop here. A quick find. Tftc

I would say that you would have to leave early if you wanted to eat at that table. It was nice and clean today. TFTC
 
18-Oct-20
On the way back over the border and into the north west, so grabbing a few drive-bys whilst we can. This one and another further down the road seem like a good idea. Nice and quick, and considering the biting cold wind just as well ! TFTC OldSaint.

Stopped here on the way south and pulled up behind another vehicle which at first we thought may have been a fellow cacher. But no, it was just some muggle on his phone. We waited for about 15 minutes and then gave up and headed further south to grab 4 caches around the Jericho area. Returned later and the muggle had finally gone so dashed in for a quick find. Had to take the container back to the van though as the lid had been cross threaded and I couldn't get it open.
Thanks, all good now!!
 
10-Mar-20
Great view of the table at sunset!

We found this cache after a day trip to Hobart for work & finally returning to the NW before dark means we have time to collect some geocaches along the way. Thankyou for this cache!

Found it easy but there was lots of traffic so getting it signed was a little harder.

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 OldSaint for this hide.
Interesting views across the paddocks.

Long day completing the Apple Geoart trail, checked into our overnight accommodation and found just enough energy to grab some quick PnGs around town before dinner. Busy road but kept the engine running while J+J quickly dashed between traffic to make the quick grab. May have been safer coming the other way.

Hi OldSaint, thanks for the cache.

RLD4963 and I decided to go for a drive this morning, to find this cache and a few other new ones nearby. We loaded the GeoGSP in the car and headed off. A lovely drive to GZ, and yes, there is a perfect view of the 'table' from here.

A quick find at GZ, thanks so much for adding caches to the area, it's great to have an excuse to stop along the highway.

Thanks to the COs for their placements and apologies for the late logs

A quick find here

Today was a long day out but purely for caching with JLrockstar, we decided that we would head down and tackle the new TTSS series starting near Orford. Followed by a few other caches. All together a total of 121 finds for the day.

We had planned to come North to visit family in Launceston over the weekend but decided to take the long way detouring via Sisters Creek and Tullah to collect 2 dragon zones for GCA caching we did not have. Along the way we targeted a few caches and this was one of them. There were so many caches we went past as time was limited, but it gives us a reason to return. We travelled over 700 km and are still not home. This was our first stop in our long day of caching. It was raining quite heavy and no view of the table. Cache located and signed and we were away. We had rain until we got to Devonport and then the weather improved. TFTC

Have been passed this one a couple of times, but have always been in a rush and no time for a look but today on our way home from a weekend away we stopped! Lady membsec had to wait for some traffic to pass by before crossing the road and taking in the view. The cache was soon in her hand and she managed to sign! She got a bit confused with the previous logger as they signed the log book as 10/9/19....but on the cache page it is 10/8/19......think goose may had had rain on the brain??!! Nice view and no traffic for the crossing back to the car.

TFTC
 
Our normal Saturday caching trip was looking in doubt due to the bad weather but after a look at the BOM radar we headed North in the hope of getting away from the worst of it, goose jumped out and grabbed this one but climbed back in the car to sign where it was dry.

Thanks for the cache.

Just a quick stop here for us today. Stainless steel rat didn't even unbuckle his seat belt. I snatched the cache from its hiding place and returned to the warmth of the car to sign the log sheet. When the coast was clear I alighted from the vehicle with all the grace of a sumo wrestler and returned it to safely.
Next stop Oatlands for a pie.
That's two from two OldSaint caches for me (SSR found an extra one in between)
Thanks mate

A quick find on our way home from Hobart. We had a bit of time on our side so stopped on way to search for some caches that have been on our list for some time. TFTC

Hello OldSaint thank you for the cache.

I had driven past this spot many time and hadn't stopped before.
This time as I saw the cache flying past on the GPS screen I quickly stopped and walked back to have a look at the view and to get the cache.

Of course I was heading towards Hobart from Launceston when I realised this cache was ahead of me and of course it was on the other side of the road...I found somewhere to stop, waited a bit for the traffic to pass and was over the other side to take a photo and sign the logbook. TFTC.

Hi OldSaint thanks again for another hide, all good at GZ and a sensational view across the Table this morning.
 
23-Jun-19
We came south today to visit family before we head to the northern island later this week. Two new caches were published during the afternoon and they were on the way home. We were a little later leaving than intended and wondered if the light would hold. The weak sun had set by the time we arrived but accurate coordinates and a common style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. To our surprise the logbook was blank. So we will claim {FTF} at 16:50. Thanks OldSaint for the cache.
