Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Cache_Crusader, requesting additional time.
An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.
Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

###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 Cache_Crusader 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 you

We didn’t find Under The Watchful 'i's while out and about on a glorious spring day.
This is the third tome I have been here and three times I have failed to find a cache located very close to public toilets. Not keen to be known as someone who hangs around said Facilities , after yet another 16 minute search, we left
Thanks Cache_Crusader for hiding this cache so that we could come and enjoy ourselves

We looked but this one eluded us today.
When we return in a few months we'll try again.

With GeoMaggie2. Found, stamped and replaced, with Maggie and Mollie, my GeoWesties, while roaming around Tasmania with our motorhome “Mylittlebus” looking for content for our TASMANIA ALL OVER facebook. Join us there. Thanks for placing this cache (and others), keeping us on our exploring toes.
Thanks for the geocache. Had me stumped for a minute. Travelling with Angus 88. Thank you for the cache from GeoMaggie and her sidekick Bonnie.
We’ll, it’s no longer an eclipse tin, and was displaced under a nearby bush, but we found it and returned to place. TFTC.
We had to look wider than anticipated and eventually located the cache. TFTC
Exploring Tasmania with hellyonfire cache by cache. The weather has kept us on our toes and our ears frozen, and we enjoyed every moment. Thanks to all the cache owners for the creative hides and/or great locations.

After morning tea nearby, Urch and I wandered over to find this cache - loved the hint that took me right to the cache. TFTC - my last for this trip to Tassie.
easy find and everything in excellent dry condition. I like the hint so a fav for those from us
After treating ourselves to a soft serve ice cream across the road at the IGA we made our way over here to look for this cache. An easy find was had with the good clue. TFTC!

#12653 - 5:03:00 PM; After an excellent Christmas lunch, I headed out for some fresh air and to collect some of the local caches in Bridport. I had a sense of deja vu as I approached this one and quickly had the cache in hand and the log signed. I'm sure that I've been here for a cache on a previous visit! TFTC Cache_Crusader 
A rare day off, thanks to working show day, so I decided to attack certain earth caches around the north east of Tasmania. My target for the moment is to get to 100 earth caches.
What a difficult cache to locate especially with the people watching me at one stage. Got the cache and recovered quickly

Thanks for the cache Cache Crusader.
RLD4963, the GeoGSP and I decided to take advantage of the Hobart Show Day public holiday and head north for a few days.
It was a grey old day today, but we enjoyed exploring different little corners of this part of the state.
As we approached GZ we first looked in a couple of potential hiding spots but nothing there, but we just needed to trust the coords - a short time later the cache was found and we were adding our names to the log.

out and about to get smileys for the GC game "reach the Peak". and this was on the list. a cool and light rainy day that stayed all week and until Sunday in both the north and the south. TFTC TNLN log dry. i got fixated on the signs and not the clues spent tooo much time in the wrong place.
Called in here on the way home from Derby today. Had my grandson with me who was on to this one straight away.
Pretty sure we've found a cache under here before. Perhaps it was this one and we forgot to log it.
Thanks.

TFTC. We was going to the toilet and then opend the app to see if there were any caches nearby. Luckily we saw one 15 meters away. We was looking dor an eclipse container but found a sistema container, so I suggest change the description.
We are spending the weekend up in Bridport, it is our first visit to the area and we are certainly impressed by the surrounds and its beauty . The weather is perfect today, which is amazing considering how much is rained and rained yesterday. Our aim is to collect as many geocaches in the area as practical while still having time to thoroughly explore the area.
It was market day today so this area was packed with muggles and we needed to park quite a way away. It was great to see such an engaged community with its local market. Luckily for us that is where everybody’s attention was and we were able to hone in on this cache with nobody paying attention to us. Which is just as well because it took a while. The gps played up for a while and sent us in different directions. But then reading the hint carefully and taking the best guess of gps we soon located the cache in its very good hiding spot. TFTC

We had a road trip from GT to Bridport. Had fun in the park then finished off a great afternoon with this geo. The first find for our 4 year old. He is stoked! Thanks heaps guys.
While up North chasing GCA caches for the Battleship games we stopped to find this cache. A quick find,but not in the first place we looked. It was very busy in Bridport today. TFTC
Found with gwd.aussie while enjoying a tassie caching adventure. Before leaving Victoria we solved many caches so there are plenty of caches we want to grab (not only solved caches but old caches, favourited caches, challenges and caches that help with challenges) however sadly we will not be able to find them all.
Hint led us straight to it now to check out our options for lunch.
Thanks Cache_Crusader

The Hint was right on.
Now for some lunch.
We are on our tassie caching adventure.
We solved so many puzzle caches, more than we can find in the short time we are here.
Also we have a list of other cache of interest to find.

Out and about for another day on the road in Tassie. There was no rain today but the wind was freezing, so put on the coat and picked up only a few, as passing through the North West area. Stopped off and discovered some great find and the scenery was spectacular along the way.
We pulled up here and both looked at each other.. We did this back in Dec 2018 but I hadn't logged it. Now to remember where it was. I this it was a quicker find today but not because we remembered it. The Alzheimers is starting to set in. Mr H enjoyed checking out the big 'i', who were very helpful.
Thanks Cache_Crusader for placing the cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy the find.

Found with RGSBruce on Day 5 of our trip to Tassie (his fifth, my fourth).
I'm a bit behind on writing up my logs, so what he wrote.

Day 5 of HerIndoorsOutdoors and my trip to Tassie.
Today’s travels were to take us from Launceston to St Helens, via Bridport. While we were in Bridport, we visited the Pavilion and when you’re that close to a geocache you’ve just got to hunt for it. So we did and pretty quickly fund it. Then we went about the business that brought us to The Pavilion.
The cache is in god condition.

I feel like I’ve found this before... but apparently not. Thanks for the cache- love Bridport!
Well, we've looked for this one on at least two other occasions, and never seem to find it home. On this trip to Bridport for a couple of days, we noticed some maintenance activity had taken place, and a recent log encouraged us to have another search. Mrs rhubarbroad cracked onto it immediately and we are very pleased to tick this one off. TFTC Cache_Crusader.
greetings from Newcastle nswI’ve wanted to come to Tasmania for ever, it’s always just been too expensive to bring our 4wd and van over, nearly 2.5k just for the boat (return) that $ always seemed to be have been better off spent ‘up the road’ on the big island for a few weeks rather than coming over. Anyway when plans were made to do a Big Lap we knew that it must respectfully include a lap of the little Island as well.
Having sold our hobby farm and put all of our possessions into storage here you have us, on the road wild and free in Tasmania.
Sorry for the generic log, but time, data and reception (gosh Tassy has spasmodic reception) are all factors in the decision to use a copy and paste log, we will always endeavour to leave a photo or two with each log and always leave a favourite point and unique comment(S) where applicable for the truly outstanding caches.
Earth, Virtual, Letterbox, Handmade and Gadget caches are always at the top of the list for us to find.
Thank you for being one of the CO’s who supplied us with a cache to find today.

a stop for some ice cream and stretching the legs. Disappointed to not be able to take the dog for a walk along the beach. Will have to come back alone another day to grab the final caches in this area. A quick find here.
Tried to have a quick look in the rain but got spotted by muggles so will attempt again
Today was nearly the end of my streak!!!! Had to make a decent effort to make it to Bridport to make a find today after flying in from King Island for the incredible golf that's around TFTC!
