Exploring Penguin: Don't Miss the Train Penguin, Tasmania, Australia
By GuitarRock21 on 08-Sep-19. Waypoint GC8DAFC

Due to ongoing issues with this cache, unfortunately, I will be archiving this one.

###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.


Something is going on here, it's not acting like T1.5/D1.5

The cache owner, GuitarRock21, needs to :

* Return the cache to good health by fixing the problem, re-enabling the cache, and posting an Owner Maintenance log if a Needs Maintenance attribute needs to be cleared. Otherwise :

* Post a Note Log to explain the situation and request more time. Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this, that is for use when you actually 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 GuitarRock21.
[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 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 there, and in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Thank you

Nope, coords don’t match the hint - looked couldn’t find it

Thanks GuitarRock21 out and about with 1 Lil Rafa caching on the lovely sun coast, to get lots of mysteries for a challenge. to walk to this site was confounded by the construction site of the new walkway along the beach, so the long way was taken. found within minutes. TFTC TNLN log dry.

DNF

Didn’t find it today. The coordinates had us by a pole, but the hint said beach.
We didn’t have any luck, it could be missing

Looked for this a month ago in the rain and with impatient children. It was a quick look so didn't log a DNF. Went back for a better look and was no more successful this time round

No find here today.

Looked all over. If at the beach entrance then its gone.

another DNF. Failed to find with whitewebbs

Out and about caching in the area but failed to locate.

Mrs rhubarbroad put her hands on this one pretty smartly. Contents dry and new log sheet in good order. TFTC GuitarRock21

I have replaced the cache as required, and updated the hint as required.

Tomorrow my new cache

Searched for this one but couldn't find it

Cache missed

Not here ️

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Hi

Think this container is missing

Well, finally had a day to go and do some caching and had some good weather!!!!
The plan was to get the cache "Shale Cliff" and some puzzles that had been solved around Ulverstone, then on to Penguin, and hopefully a few around Devonport on the way home. Was up early and out the drop before 6. The drive to Devonport was fairly boring with the GeoKids, as we had done this road so many times before, but worth it considering the goal.
Our target was for 50 GC caches to get my yearly tally to 500 and total GC to 5500. Luckily I was successful in this

TFTC

Coordinates had me at a pole
Hint said the beach (which was away from pole)
Nothing at either location

@the_emmertons_bmx

Nice easy find

Quick find by my daughter

Caching in the area we found your cache along the way.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

I have moved the cache to an appropriate hiding spot nearby. Apologies for the delays in replacing this cache. Happy caching

See 'Update coordinates' log.

Still too close to GC8FK6E Exploring Penguin: Watch Out for the King Tide.
You should be able to see this easily as they are both your own geocaches.

Do you know how to see the distance between two points?
Please let me know if you need some assistance.
Cheers,
Geoff

Replaced the cache in a different location today.

The cache has been replaced and is ready to go.

Apologies for the delay in replacing, the cache is ready to go now though.

Hi, apologies for the lack of the response/replacing of cache (this is due to upcoming exams, study, extracurricular activities/dedications and not yet in ownership of a driver's license). There is an appropriate hiding place which has been made available recently, so I should be able to replace this weekend.

Despite being disabled these 2 caches were in my GPS to be found, so made my way down to penguin to have a look, parked the car and made a nice walk over to this one, with no one using the equipment the cache was easy located and a nice and fresh log book was signed.

With today being my last day in tassie for a few months I set off to pluck up a few new caches in the north west before setting sail.

TFTC

This one is now too close to GC8FK6E Exploring Penguin: Watch Out for the King Tide.
Both yours, they should be at least 161m apart.
Cheers.

I have replaced the cache, in a different spot.

I have re-hidden the cache, so it is all ready to go. Happy caching

Hello, sorry for waiting so long to replace this cache and the other one in the area (due to covid-19, not being old enough to have a driver's license, and a large amount college studies and dedications). Given that the school holidays commences this following weekend, I should have spare time to replace these caches. I will advise if otherwise. Apologies for the delay in reacting.

The cache has definitely gone missing . I am disabling this cache to prevent unnecessary DNFs, until I get the chance to replace the cache.

Enjoyed the area, but couldn't find any cache.
Daughter did enjoy finding a "Fork" in the "Tree fork" but no cache attached.
Hunter

It seems this cache has gone missing. Will replace asap. Apologies for the DNFs.

Had a quick look around possible spots but to no avail.

Unfortunately DEZ055 and I couldn’t locate this cache after searching everywhere that matched the hint. Hopefully the cache turns up soon

Didn’t spend a lot of time looking

Looked for this one along with another team and no luck for either of us

Geo puffers

Nice hide, no kids about! Was on show so we covered it up!

The cache is no longer there, unfortunately. I have replaced the cache, and updated its location. Hopefully it will last a bit longer.

Sadly couldn't find this one today. Might need a quick check to make sure it is still there.

Too dark too many muggles had a bit of a dig around but gave up.

Out for a hunt to find our 400th cache and this one was 399, we have been holding of finding some in Penguin till our Nieces came home from doing a lap of Australia, now they are home we have enjoyed our day out together. A quick find had a nice well contained container, Hoping this one doesn't go missing as there isn't much coving it. Left a TB. Thanks Guitar Rock for placing and maintaining this cache.

Log to come

Wow what a windy spot we will take something and leave something. Kutgw

Thank you for the cache. Maggie the great GeoWestie caching with Carer. nice spot

TFTC

Great hide, kids had a play break before we head to our next cache. Added a few swaps TFTC

Found with LittleBoo17 and CachecrewJack

Good bye snowy TFTC

Found on our way to a wedding

Beautiful surroundings.

Quite hard to find

Awesome thank you. Not sure if there was originally a pencil in there but there isn’t now. Would’ve left one but didn’t have a spare I’m sorry

Nice quick find at a great tree, TFTC!

Great size tree, perfect for sitting on.

We loved getting up the tree! Tftc

Found it with koelbchen. TFTC!

Found with Sir-Castic.
TFTC!

Geoboy enjoyed the tree. I think generations of children have climbed it. What a great place to play. Tftc

Heading to King Island later today and we decided to do a few caches on the way to the airport. Quick find which is the way we like them and an interesting container.

TFTC

Only GC cache attempted today with the focus being on GCA caches. But as we had to walk straight past this one to get the nearby GCA cache we grabbed it too.
Second visitor to this one today.
Thanks, a quick find in the obvious spot to a geocacher.

Found this one a week ago now. Easy and quick find. TFTC!

Now that we are back from our mainland excursion, it is time to look for some caches that have been published while we were away. We opted to look for the four new caches in the Penguin - Sulphur Creek area.

This is a very popular area and when we arrived today, there were a few people in the general area. The area of the hide was obvious from the hint but it took a couple of circumnavigations before the cache was located. This rtime the cache container blended in well with the surrounds. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks GuitarRock21 for the cache.

Great our enjoyed journey along trip from Devonport. where we stay at Devonport for 7 nights. While we are on way to. Is it my cousin for tea which they lives in Penguin Found your cache today. GuitarRock21, thank you so much for placing it.

Dont think it will last long. TFTC

Nice spot with a playground kids would love. With a strong winds the cache could be in plain sight but apart from that lovely spot with a new trail can't wait for more. Found with chickenman21. TFTC!

Whoops logged as a DNF

Accurate coordinates lead to an easy find.
