###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of 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 any 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 bdonl 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 there, and 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

A nice location for a cache. After finding this cache we enjoyed morning tea in the carpark. TFTC bdonl
Met some ducks while here! I actually came with the junior guides a while ago but forgot to log it so decided to do it as I was walking by.
Found with WaywardWoman while caching in the area. Got distracted by a Little Pied Cormorant nearby. TFTC
After our son fell in the water, we decided to finish our look for another day. Will be back
Greetings from Oakdale 1A Junior Girl Guides!
After completing the Mother's Day Classic Walk for breast cancer this morning, I decided to spend the rest of my mother's day finding some caches
This was find #6 of 12 around Wollongong today. After parking in the Beaten Park carpark, a short walk and accurate co-ords led me straight to a nice easy find. TFTC!

Visiting the area from Maitland on a wet long weekend of geocaching. Quick and easy find. TFTC
Find 498 for the tribe
On a mission to make todays CITO find number 500 and just needed a couple extras to make up the numbers. This one was an easy park and grab but the playground nearby made it extra fun for the geokid. Geokid did hope for a moment we might find a Koala but sadly not today.
Another great little girl guide hide. The cache was dry with plenty of room in the logbook.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Found on my way back up to Sydney last week. I was in a bit of a hurry to get to an appointment but couldnt resist pulling over to get at least one cache on the way.
Once i reached the GZ i was able to zero in on the cache quickly and soon had the log signed and returned.
Thanks.

A very wet day to be out caching but none the less here I am signing the log in the pouring rain
Must learn not to wear loud colours when finding a geocache. But it was successful. TFTC!!
Great beginner cache! Our 2 young girls were very excited to find it on their own. TFTC
The cache name fooled me into ignoring the GPS, the GPS was correct! Thanks
Found a handful of caches with a mate from Wollongong. A quick find at Beaton Park after moving out from underneath the tree to let the GPS settle. Thanks!
Last cache of the day, thought it would be a quick find but coords had us in an unlikely spot compared to other caches in this series. Checked all the likely places and called it a day, after waiting for the local wildlife to depart.
Out for a lunchtime walk and dropped by here. Left my pen in the office, so took the attached photo as evidence of my find.
Cheers

Somehow I thought I needed to up the terrain raring a bit and spent way too long way too low before spotting the cache in a much easier spot. TFTC!
Found another in the Guide series. A straight forward find and was lucky there were minimum muggles about this morning. TFTC bdonl and the Koala Patrol.
Nice quick find to get me back on the road! Hardest part was getting the bloody logbook out TFTC
Only ticked off the first three patrol series a few days ago so added this since new publication as stop one before a day of caching which was getting me closer to a milestone. Finding this micro (not small) was quicker than getting the log out. Performed a little maintenance by removing some pages before returning to its hiding spot and hitting the road.
Had just got home after hiding one when the vital info came up . I have been looking at this area at lunch times for a while now , lots of opportunities. Jumped in geovehicle with geokid straight away , quickly identified gz and had CIH with a fresh log ! Lovely ! Thanks bdonl
Just pipped at the post by the krew, by about 15 minutes. My old basketball stomping grounds are across the pond. Tftc
