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, turnercaitlin, for further time to restore the cache.** 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.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 turnercaitlin 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
DNFSearch Time=7MToday Found/DNF=1/2Finders Note It is very likely to be missing no container in sight
Had a look for this one back in November last year but came up empty handed. I guess the geocaching gods were looking kindly on us today as a quick find was made at GZ. It probably helped that I had just found Patrick across the road and the similar container was an easy spot. Mind you I'm sure I looked there last time.Always good to rectify a DNF.Thanks turnercaitlin. This one does need a new log sheet though.
After lunch with family members some of them came with us to do some caching in the Prospect area. We did some caches in a quick loop on a beautiful afternoon. Grandson made the find here, not sure if the cache is in it's original position as it didn't match the hint at all. TFTC
I was away for work this week and while up in Launy had a chance to meet up with TazScout as I hadn't seen them in ages, it was nice to catch up and find a few caches together, 7 years ago along with gooseandegg we all walked Dooley's trail together.Found on 18/01/2024 at 20:07:00 thanks to turnercaitlin for placing this cache for me to find. The best caches I have found so far are:-Sentimental [Moorgreen P3:1, Penny Pincher](http://coord.info/GC32Z5B) By [Sven&Cup](http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=6596795)Traditional [Hanging Around in Toorak](http://coord.info/GC62KAP) By [bobthebuilder_123](http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=586681)Multi [Gawler Fort Knox](https://coord.info/GC5T0W1) By [**JEM**](http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=11449141)Unknown [Men In Black Holes](http://coord.info/GC1DVB0) By [SG-3](http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=918045) Letterbox [Rolf's Letterbox](http://coord.info/GC5NCYM) By [membsec](http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=5318842)Earthcache [Totem Pole](https://coord.info/GC862H8) By [The Hancock Clan](http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=263428)Visit the [Geocaching Tasmania Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/318455407771/)
SS Rat was in town for a few days and we caught up for some before dinner caching around Launceston.Lucky this one was quick and easy, a group of kids came running up to play in the park as we were replacing. TFTC
A quick find here today, cache is all goodToday nettieknows and I headed out and about Launceston to find a large chunk of the new caches that have been published around the city, a lovely afternoon with just over 20 findsThanks for the cache
New log added. Willow has been moved - coordinates accurate but no longer knee height
21255During our great trip around the world we arrived in Australia after visiting Canada, US, and some places in the Caribean Sea and Central America as well as Fiji. Besides lots of sightseeing, we can't do without caching, of course. That's why we also passed by this place, searched for the cache, found it and successfully signed the logbook.Thank you for hiding and maintaining the cache. Only thanks to dedicated owners is this beautiful game possible.Wir danken alle Cache-Ownern fr ihren Einsatz, denn ohne die Gemeinschaft ist dieses tolle weltweite Hobby nicht zu realisieren.
No luck at Patrick so decided to try Willow, now i have a better understanding of what we should have possibly been looking for. Tftc
Found it but I didn't have a pen. Founds with coblysmumma. Will go back an sign later x
Found the cache not hidden on the ground with lid off and what I suspect part of the log nearby. I have contacted CO regarding this.
Found this geocache with anxiety aid. We both saw it at the same time. An easy find but it wasnt the other day. Thank you for this geocache.
No luck for us here but I guess we were cache blind as I see it had two finds today!!!Better have a better look next time we come to Launceston caching.Thanks.
Like two dogs were playing up, so I didnt spend too long. Looking for this one Ill come again.
Super cool and creative. I really like this one watch out for the birds with the babies.
This is a pleasant park, well deserving of a cache. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find of a well presented cache. In dull conditions the cache blended very well into the environment but not so well in full sunlight. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks turnercaitlin for the cache.
