Logs
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, Silly Dad Australia, for further time to restore the cache.On this basis, 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.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 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 Silly Dad Australia 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 youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer
There has been quite a few dnfs recently, maybe time for a maintenance visit
No luck here today - had a good close look all around but didn't spot anything. Host is looking a bit tattered, not sure if natural shedding or folk searching but just something to be aware of. Will keep watch.
Spent my lunch break searching, but difficult to see with a high sun. Hoping it's still there
Finally tracked this one down after a few attempts in the past.
Thanks Silly Dad Australia for placing and maintaining this hide for us and others to enjoy!

SOMETHING DIDN’T BELONG THERE!! Was super tough to spot, but with determination and endurance we spotted it ! This was by far the most reward catch of the three
Almost gave up… started looking in a different spot and caught a glimpse of the cheeky cache in the pouring rain. TFTC
I don't know how He found that so quickly but I am sure glad he did as its time to heD home for lunch. TFTC
Find 12 of 14 with 1 DNF on a windy bike ride around Noranda, then a nice stroll around Thorburn Park.
Expecting a long search but Mr O had hands on it straight away. Getting it out completely was a bit trickier. Have put it back in a more accessible spot, taking the cache design into account.
TFTC Silly Dad Australia!

This one was really challenging and I will admit that I resorted to the clue to narrow down the search area.
Great hide!
Great hide!
Even after spending at least 1/2 hour here snd a PAF to a previous finder, we came up empty handed here, TFTH Silly Dad Australia!
Finding a few caches in the area, this one really had us stumped... Searched around & round, up & down to no avail 
We didn't give up & couldn't believe when we found it... Had searched there many times but was very well hidden when we finally found it

Loved the hide here, thanks Silly Dad Australia

Quick find of a sneaky hide. Ohhh I get the theme now! This one can have the fav for the mini series, hide and theme. TFTC
Out and about finding some caches around the Beechboro area today. Very well hidden this one TFTC
A nice series not far from home could no longer be ignored. All good here, thanks Silly Dad au.
Thanks Silly Dad Australia for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces.
Out and about with Cravo10 for a mornings caching north of the river and a little out east towards whiteman park. Nailed 20 odd caches and 5 labs to make a successful mornings work.
Enjoyed the variety of containers with a few easy ones, few muggle central locations, some bush stuff through whiteman park and some tree walking/stream crossings.
Special thanks to the local COs for some good quality caches. Well played.

Congrats on the FTF Everlasting and parkacruz! These are the first caches we’ve placed, glad people are enjoying them! Keep your eyes out for a couple more in this area that should be approved soon as part of this Frankenstein series...
This one took a good 10min plus a quick message to a previous finder. Very well hidden. Coords good. TFTC
Everlasting and I had some plans that quickly got changed when we seen these new caches get published, we headed to GZ and are happy to say after a quick search we had the cache in hand and claimed a joint {*FTF*} TFTC
Joint [*FTF*] with parkacruz, we search for a while until she spotted it - we signed the log. Thanks Silly Dad Australia.
