### 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 Wheirifly 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

This cache is sadly at the end of its life. Thankyou to everyone who hunted for this cache

Bit of a look around but didn't spot a thing unfortunately

Searched for a while but didnt found the spot So a picture to proof I got there.

Too many muggles to look thoroughly though

We were in Broome Australia for the day on our ship - Holland America's Volendam. We took the mandatory ship's Shuttle to town and went to do 4 Lab Stops of a Lab and find two caches. After that we went back to the ship before it got too hot.#####################This Cache: Quick Find of what was left of the container. There was only the bottom half of the container and no log. So we replaced that with a new pill bottle and a new log. Good to go again.

Thanks for the cache!

Found on a very hot and humid day visiting via the MS Volendam. Thank you for placing this here. Container is now a medicine bottle.

Thanks for The New container. Greetings from Holland

Couldnt find

Had to come back after the coffee shop across the road had closed as too many muggles made me feel uncomfortable. Found it laying on the ground missing a lid. Signed the temp log however needs CO maintenance. TFTC

Found

Thank you

Well this was funny, we are sure every man and dog were in town the morning we went to find this cache, so with us both being as discreet as we could we made the find and quickly returned the cache to its spot before any muggles had a chance to see what was going on. We apologise for the late log, we are so far behind in logging as Mrs Parkacruz has been busy with life ?? a nice quick find in one of our favourite places on earth so a favourite point here for the giggles and location TFTC

TFTC

A nice quick find.we were lucky as no mugglers about..

Found

No pen, but I found it

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching

Hey it's me Kobe and Luke We found your geocash

Found last week. I forgot to log it!

Not too tricky for me

Found with NutcacheBNE on a quiet Sunday

#5801I arrived in Broome this afternoon and made a quick find while exploring around town.Thanks for the geo-fun.

We were in Beautiful Broome on Spectator1s Starlight wish ?? I ducked off to find this cache while the others were souvenir shopping nearby- cute art pieceTFTC ??

Search and search could not find

Thanks for the hide. No pen to sign so took pic.

Found OK

Gotcha - Found with a bit of searching. Lid missing. Hope paper log doesn't fall out!!

Out for a road trip up north to try out our new camper and grabing a couple of caches on the way.
I tried for this one a couple of days ago when we first arrived but there were a few locals around. Today was much quieter which was just as well because it took a while to find. The lid is missing from the cache and the logs are just pressed in.

TFTC Wheirifly

TFTC easy find

We’re in Broome for a couple of nights between having arrived in WA from Melbourne on the Indian Pacific a couple of days ago and heading of on a road tour of the Kimberleys tomorrow. I took the opportunity to catch the bus from Cable Beach into Broome today to do a bit of shopping and to pick up a cache or two. Trying to do the ADLAB here was a huge pain in the behind, with phone and internet connection not giving the app a fair go. At least the Geocaching App was working the way it should.

I was lucky with the hunt for this cache as it was relatively muggle free around GZ today, despite there being a lot of cars going back and forth.

The cache is still missing its lid, but is otherwise in good condition.

TNLNSL. TFTC Fly.

A night time drive thru Broome and this was an easier find with no muggles in sight.

The sprinklers were on; maybe that deterred us

Didn’t see initially. Gps a little out for me. Lots of muggles. Great history.

Eventually found the cache. Lot of muggles around.

Nice little find thank you

Quick grab on the way back from the barbershop, great sculpture/carving. Container was missing top section…log held ok, but could use a new one

Cover of container is missing. Log still fits but could easily fall out

Thanks we found our first geocache. Ethan & Violet (Sydney )

Found it TFTC

Back in town to top up supplies and made a made a quick find here. Tftc

Found it

Ms Atalanta and I are spending a week at Cable Beach, near Broome and passing some time on the hunt for geocaches.
This one was on our hit list and was a quick find.

Broome Day2
A morning at the markets before doing a couple of caches close to town.
Surprisingly this area was very quiet this morning so with a quick search we spotted the cache.
Hubby retrieved it & then a quick sign before moving along.
This is an amazing area to explore, we found a variety of caches.
Thankyou to the CO's for hiding this cache

TFTH, I think the lid is missing and we didn’t have a pencil. Enjoying the cultural walks and history of Broome

Found this, took a photo too, but owner removed the log. Please contact me if you need verification. Thanks Colin.

Found w Caspian and Colin

Go low

TYFC great spot fun and eats took 30 seconds

Nice receipt as the log!

Morgo made the find and recovery here

TFTC ??

Found but looks like it has been taken/missing.

Added a temporary log to the container.

It will need fixing properly.

Wheirifly, I found Float today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

An empty case. Needs replacing.

The mint tin was definitely still there with a logbook when I found it on 4/7. I left my pathtag inside for someone to find.

Took a little strategic hand diving with so many muggles about, but was soon in hand! TFTC

Second look...cant find it lmao

Dived and found

Found this nice Cache together with Dino and Flintstones. Thank you for putting it out and maintaining it Fly.

Found together with Fred.

TFTC Fly

2 weeks in the Kimberley with Dino, Pebbles and Wilma. What a treat and not just that we went around to so many great natural highlights but we did Caches wherever we went which made me very happy and will be perfect to remember all those nice places we saw. Thank you all for showing us this beautiful state with your caches.

Today we came to sun pictures and while waiting to get in ducked away to find this cache.

This cache: A quick find after getting down and dirty.

Thank you Fly for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Travelling north with iluvtrekking. Got into Broome too early to check in to our caravan park so headed into town for a stroll. The shops were just starting to open so the muggles were thin in the ground. Didn’t take too long to spot the container and record our visit. Thanks Fly

Traveling north with richlink, to Darwin and beyond, gathering some geocaches along our route. We had arrived in Broome too early to check into the caravan park so we parked our vans in China Town and found this cache just a few meters along the road. Thanks for the cache Fly.

We tried yesterday but there were too many muggles. We tried again today and we're successful!
TFTC

Tftf nice little score for the day

Arrived to Broome today with mudnCraig and did this new cache in town, tftc!

Nice sculpture, quickly found by torchlight.

When GreyHams discovered a great deal to relocate a motor home from Broome to Darwin, things quickly slotted into place to head out for another adventure together. Three planes and a full day of travelling later we arrived in Broome, with the most amazing orange sunset out the windows of the plane.

Plenty of time to discover a few of Broomes caches and places before collecting our wheels the following morning. It slept 6 and had all the luxuries, it was huge, climbing up into it there was no going back and off we set!

The drive was full of changing scenery. Loved the Boab trees in all their different shapes and mass numbers, termite mounds and the red earth. Wildlife lined the roads, always cattle but birds, wild horses, snakes, dingo's, pigs and even buffalo! Stunning rock formations, waterways and even many little fires it was a great drive stopping for the caches as we passed... but no crocs (sad face!)

Leaving Broome we had overnight stays in Fitzroy Crossing, Kununarra and Timber Creek, great places but the highlight being the Lazy Lizard in Timber Creek. Passing through Halls Creek, Katherine and even Kakadu among many other little towns and stops along the way added to a great trip. The van was comfortable and a novel way to travel, the caches spread out over big distances a chance to stretch the legs.

Arriving into Darwin and the van returned it was into town for a few must find caches, and to explore the town, a tad warmer than we were used to at 33C!

Many thanks to all the COs of the caches we stopped at along the way and that added to the enjoyment of the trip.

Aquilus1 & I decided at short notice to add another 'crazy' trip to our growing list of adventures. Flying from Canberra to Broome and driving a 'war rig' huge campervan from Broome to Darwin. It could sleep 6! The hire itself cost almost nothing as it was on a 'relocation' deal.

We arrived too late to pick up the bus on our first day....not surprising really as it took 3 flights to get there. The hotel we stayed at in Broome at had a "competition" on the night we arrived and several barmaids in odd clothing.... "Welcome to WA" it would seem.

After picking up the battleship, we proceeded easterly on our adventure. In three days we would see Fitzroy's Crossing, Hall's Creek, Kununurra, Timber Creek, Katherine, Pine Creek, Kakadu & Darwin, as well as a lot of road.

No crocs spotted, but we did see dingo's, water buffalo, horses, lots of birds & cows.

Favourite stop by a mile was in Pine Creek, at the Lazy Lizard. Very cool and also the cheapest!

Thanks to all the CO's for placing.

Took a few moments, but we got there

Log follows

Sneaky little hide. So good in the early morning before there’s too many eyes. TFTH all the way from Newcastle

Lovely walk up and down the street, had to use a bit of stealth due to the time of day here. Found it, all good, someone has replaced with a new container next to the lid of the other one. TFTC

Found in beautiful Broome

Second attempt. Found early in the morning.
Muggles yesterday arvo.

Not on the magnet at the moment but there. TFTC

A short search & soon had it. GPS was spot on

Tftc

Off Coral Princess today. We came prepared having read the logs. A mint tin, sadly not magnetic as Mitre 10 is closed being Sunday. Sending CO a msg. TFTC! Nice to add a trad to the Broome tally!

Out n about with m4yb grabbing a few caches.
After a fun and mildly eventful start to our cruise from Fremantle to Sydney, we arrived half a day early in port so made our way into town and she was armed with a replacement. Nice to add a trad to our tally while we did the AdLab.
Thanks for the hide & Wheirifly

Found but only half the container so needs maintenance

Thanks to M4yb this Geocache is loggable again.

Found the lid but didnt have anything to replace it with and leaving tomorrow

As I don't live in this area any more, and it'll be a while til I get back, may someone please put a temporary geocache there? It has been affected by the floods. Thank you in advance.

What a beautiful Sculpture! But yes, just the lid of the container is left. Hope, you can mend it soon! Now we go to the shop next door fir a souvenir

Found part of the container but most of it, incl logbook, is missing.
Picture shows all that is left.
Unable to log consequently.
Thanks for placing though:)

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Found with GeoHubby TB142. Log missing needs replacing. Have attached a photo as proof of find.
