Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, _Angus, 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 _Angus 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

tassietan and I are out for a long overdue caching outing.
We spent a long time searching for this one, following quite few geotrails, but came up empty handed.

RoadieM and I are out on a much needed geocaching day. This was my first cache for the day but unfortunately after a long search, we couldn't find it.
No luck here today. I was there for awhile but didn’t want to leave the Geo dogs tied up too long at the pathway.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.
I kept going between 2 paths and couldn’t find it. Will try again another day.
Hello _Angus thank you for the cache
A nice easy find as it was out in the open uncovered.
Today was a lovely day on the east coast just a little windy.

A nice easy one to start this series along the springs beach. I might sit on a stump and work out whether i walk or drive.
After a feed of fish and chips at Triabunna we came back to Orford for some more caches. I started following SSR into the bush but backtracked and found a different way to GZ. It wa much easier! A quick find if a well stocked cache.
Thanks _Angus
Thanks _Angus
This was a nice surprise of a cache that a came at from completely the wrong direction and the goose found it first via the short path!
With the Budgie busy this weekend it was just myself and Goose that choose to go North to Orford today as we had spotted a nice looking little series along the beach, it was also perfect for calling in at one of the TTSS caches to fix or update.
We did the maintenance first and while we discovered a possum on the old cache, we also found that the council had put a new bridge in and the cache could be moved back to it original location. after that we started finding the Magic Beach Series by Evedar who for having such a low find count has come up with some very good and interesting hides.
Thanks for the cache.

Only realizing there were some new hides up here i decided to come grab them all today and a Golden Oldie i couldn't get last time due to wet road conditions.
Parked in the cul-de-sac nearby and made my way to this hide. Muggle kids were having a creek-adventure nearby but outta sight so i snaffled the cache and wandered away from GZ to sign the log. That was done at 08:32 on Wednesday 27 April 2022. Overcast and chilly but no wind which was most welcome when it's cold
(Whatta Wuss!! You can tell i'm not a True Tasmanian hey? I love warmth and warm weather conditions 
[^])
Re-hid the cache well and as i was walking back i could hear the 'Young Adventurers' approaching near GZ... nice timing
All is in A1 condition in the cache

out and about to get some caches on our holidays all aboard. a search that took some time but in the end we found it. TFTC TNLN log dry. a nice view from GZ.
We were in the area doing the Magic Beach series and stopped to locate your first hide. Accurate coords led to a quick find. TFTC
Thanks for the cache Angus.
RLD4963, the two GeoGSP's and I were in the area and this cache was on our list to be found.
It's a busy little intersection here, lots of kids and parents on bikes, walkers, and doggoes out with their hoomans.
A nice quick find at GZ.

We came up to the area to find some caches that have been published since our last visit.
Quick find but it was out in the open, so we hid it with some cover.

Congratulations _Angus on your first hide. Accurate coordinates and a common style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks _Angus for the cache.
Thought i should come for a short drive today and find these few caches around Orford nd Tribunna. TFTC
GPS wouldn't behave so had to use my geocaching senses to locate. Generous size container and all contents in good condition. tnln sl tftc
A quick detour on the way home from a two-week camping trip around Tassie. We found the cache laying out in the open so tucked it back in its spot and covered it up. TFTC
