### 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 ShannonPC 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

Found in record time while walking with my geo wife. I feel like I have been here before to get a cache many years ago.
 
22-Feb-23
Super!
Pour moi, ce sera la cache la plus au sud que je trouverai jamais !
Je suis arrivée par en haut, j'ai même tenté de grimper sur le toit et la raison me disait que c'était un peu plus simple que ça
La vue est sublime et la balade pour arriver jusqu'ici est vraiment très sympa!
Merci ShannonPC pour la cache!


Great!
For me, this will be the southernmost cache I will ever find!
I arrived from above, I even tried to climb on the roof and reason told me that it was a little simpler than that
The view is sublime and the walk to get here is really very nice!
Thanks ShannonPC for the cache!
Greetings from France

Someone should put some money in this and say “if you find the cache that if you comment something specific they’ll double it”.Could become a tik tok trend. Otherwise fun cache
 
30-Sep-22
Took me and my 5 year old a little search to find it. Great spot!
 
11-Sep-22
According to S_38 we have been here before, but then too many people around to look. He went back awhile ago, and today together. I have no recollection of being here before, so I was totally excited about this spot! Incredible spot! The walkway is closed. So we parked in a different spot! Favourite for me!

Nice little hide spot. Quick grab and a great bit of history
 
10-Jul-22
Thank you for the hide. TNLN.
 
05-Jul-22
Thanks ShannonPC. I came down here more than a year ago but too many muggles and wandering GPS made it too difficult. Thankfully today was a nice peaceful easy find. I really like the history here. Favourite point for the location Smile
 
02-Jul-22
Out and about with the Rafa family caching.TFTC TNLN log dry. A very quick stop to find this cache as I was parked down the lane, a no no. Walked to the sandstone staircase and down into the cavity of the searchlight then out to the surrounds and to the right, GZ and a quick find sign and replace and back to the car and off.

Find #: 2,816
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Pleasant autumn morning
Cache condition: Good

After a jog in Battery Point I was heading back to my MIL's place and stopped off here, parking near the shops. The path around the point was closed so it wasn't quite as pleasant a walk as I had hoped, but the views near GZ are still worth the journey which I knew as I'd been here before for a previous cache. Once at GZ it didn't take long to get CIH - TNLNSL TFTC

Had no idea this place existed, which is why I love Geocaching

A beautiful spot on the river. Very high foot traffic. However exploring the structure didn’t look suspicious at all! Forgot my pen so here’s a photo. No TB in situ Sad
