I am archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action or communication by the cache owner Caxixi within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

##Cache Maintenance Required please.##
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit.
The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter.
See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance). In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.

If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.

I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.

If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache.

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Thank you

Looked around for a while ended up finding a glass jar with a pendant and tiny bits of blue paper in it, in a spot that looks suitable for a cache but as it did not have a log nor pen nor anything that it said it was a geocache we left not sure of a find so logged a DNF. Hoping to return some time to find and log this one. If this was the cache, may need maintenance.

??

The map pointed towards the middle of the road. But the road didn't seem the same in reality and the map

Looked but couldn't find. Wasn't helped by GPS jumping all over the place.

We can not find Fred. What a pity!

Got distracted looking at my phone and walked straight past it on my way down the track. Sun had set and was beginning to get a little freaked out about being alone in the bush after dark as solo female traveller. Fortunately my friend eventually came to my rescue and picked me up! Thanks for the cache! My pen had run out but I’m sure you can see where I tried to make my mark!

Found, missing log though

No luck finding this, and plenty of blackberry scratches to boot!

So beautiful here

Good find.

No log needs some TCL!

No log!

Quick find but needs maintenance. TFTC!

nice hiding spot

A lot of water has come through here.... no find for me.
Maybe Frank has grown legs and wandered off ....

Hi found the gps was far off found by WM ES AJ

TFTC!

Caught one. Nice spot. Driven past so many times and never knew of what was hiding nearby.

Located the cache fairly easily, not quite at GZ.

New log is very wet, pages disintegrated when I tried to turn over a new one, so found a dry section to sign on the back of an older page.

Old log is in a bag, somewhat a biohazard.

Emptied moisture and tried to wipe out with the corner of my shirt. More TLC needed.

TFTC caxixi

Found! A few metres off. Needs a bit of TLC - but thanks for the cache!

Thanks for taking us to this stream

Found after reading previous logs and updated coordinates.
TFTC

I must be getting better at this! Didn't take too long at all. Wilco has taught me well Way too wet to sign, but I tried anyway. Sorry I didn't have supplies to replace the bag and log.

Found it, was challenging as others said GPS is all over the place . Nice little spot .

It took reading old logs to find alternate coords for TaurusSix and I to find the cache.

Forgot a pen (oops!) but the logbook was too damp to sign, anyhow. Great cache, very sneaky!!

The co ordinates took us to the middle of the road, but did the where would I hide a cache and gleaned info from logs we soon had it in hand. But not before out middle child had to lie and say we were looking liarbirds to a hiker passing on the road. The cache is very wet and the log is now pulp. We have done our best to clean it out added a clean sheet of paper but it will need replacing along with the log bag. tftc

Easy find for geohusband after sending me to figure out GPS position from the road. Needs new log- its very wet! Tftc

At last we found this very wet cache!! Many months ago we were in the area and searched for a long time and came out empty handed. This time using a previous finders coords, we finally found the little beast! We hadn't extended our search this far last time. The log was very wet but we did manage to sign our name in it.
TFTC

Easy find with clues log sodden needs attention from CO TFTC TNLN nice quiet place

This was our second geocaching for us! Thank you

TFTC! Good hide..

Log book is very wet, really difficult to sign the log...

Hi Caxixi, thanks for this cache. Was in the area hoping to do 4 caches; but this was the 2nd and last; as Frank proved elusive, he must be a cunning trout. GPSr was all over in under the trees, and I also tried using SSR's coords that he posted back in his March log. I was about to give up and head off, when I gave it one more try, and noticed a likely hide. YES! Found it. Yay. Unfortunately as per many previous logs, the logbooks are really damp although I managed to find a dryish page (near the end of 2015) on which I was able to leave my mark with a gel pen. In the end, I didn't really check at what coords I found the cache, sorry.
A bit of a milestone, 400! @ 1755 Thu 24th Nov '16.

Good found. I suppose the box got under water.
All wet.

Looked around for a while, couldn't see anything.
Possibly was there, just wasn't looking hard enough, or unfortunately has been muggled

Lovely spot... But it appears that this site may go under water at times.

May need to be relocated.... But definitely needs replacement log and bag.

Tftc

A quick find, unable to sign the log book. Cleaned out the container, but I didn't have a spare log book or plastic bag. TFTC.

Took a little bit of searching but found the cache exposed in the open. Tucked it away nicely. Log waterlogged and needs dried out. TFTC

Nice, TFTC!

Took a while to find gps is a little off.

DNF! Gps all over the shop

Reading memsecs dnf didnt fill me with much hope of a find today but with two pairs of eyse it was spotted (not where goose found it)
So I added my name to the log and discovered this cache is over 10 years old! no wonder it has moved I bet ground zero has changed so much over that time.
Coords added to my log of where i found it.

Thanks for the cache.

Having completed a near-by series we moved on to this cache. Searched and searched with absolutely no success. GZ took is to a likely hide but nothing to be found. Has it gone walk about?

While doing the tricky tree series we veered off and grabbed this one. It was quite exposed so we hid it a little better when we returned it.
Tftc

While out doing the tricky tree series we veered off to grab this one. It was out in the open so we signed the log and returned it to a better hiding spot. Tftc

Quick find tftc

After a fun walk through the bush, we found it in a lovely shady spot. Thanks!

TFTC! Took a bit of searching, was mostly right next to it the whole time though :p

Nice find! GPS didn't settle right away but found it quick enough! TFTC

Didn't spend long looking but the last activity was March so thinking it may not be here.

nice and easy find, thanks

Nice easy find, thanks!

Thanks, our first geocache.

Love this one such a lovely place

A beautiful afternoon here and a quick find as the cache was not covered up. We decided to detour here after a visit to the nearby tip shop. The kids enjoyed hopping around on the rocks and pretending to fish with their sticks. We enjoyed the tranquillity of the creek area with the sunlight filtering through. As we had never been up this road so continued all the way to the end to have a look. TFTC

Found it

It was reasonably easy & required a little bit of seaching

Good spot nice and easy

Took a bit of searching and yes, quite damp!

After the map lead us the wrong way we finally found our way to franks party where unfortunately my drink was 'spiked' no sign of Fred today. TFTC

Tftc!

Found Fred first, then a frog who'd escaped from the cache - he's back in there. Not secret falls but still very pretty. TFTC

not enough clues! And so slippery down there.. make sure you wear your gumboots! Beautiful spot though!

We picked up our granddaughter Ella (7) from South Hobart Primary School at 3.00 p.m. and of course she wanted to 'go get a cache' so we drove the short distance to search for this one. A bit dark, damp and dreary up in the gully today so finding the cache made us all feel good. Thanks for the cache.

Have never been here before .The road works made it a bit tricky. TFTC

Thanks!

Found Fred and Frank on an afternoon walk. TFTC

Found Fred, looked a little dry, gave him a sponging.. Found the cache looked a little damp so I replaced the log book. TFTC

Took a while but eventually got this one. Log book was full, no room at all.

Needs new log book it was full and damp.

Picked the path with no blackberries and it was the right one. A nice quick find during some lunchtime caching. TFTC.

A bit difficult under the trees to get the ol' GPS60 to settle down. Finally narrowed down the options after realizing the a big stream flow would prevent locating the cache too close to the bank. Contents were a bit damp though. TFTC

Great one listen to the clues..
Thanks

Found this one after a quick visit to the cascades factory! Nice hide. TNLN TFTC

Aftedr finding The Oldest Sign I drove partway up Old Farm Road. Even though I once lived close to hear I had never been up there before. I turned around, found a suitable parking place and soon found and logged the cache. Thanks.

Found!

Kids loved it thanks

GPS had me on the wrong side of the road for a bit. Found after around 10 minutes searching. Bit damp and musty.

Finally! Not where I'd have put it at all which threw me! TFTC. Very soggy. Needs maintenance but been here a long time! Left word peg took nothing

Soggy

Hmmm 4 year old lost patience, GPS FLIGHTY

Had us fishing a bit but hooked in the end. Tftc

Found well after dark, GPS, a bit flighty.

A damp early pre dawn morning raid across town. Pulled up almost next to GZ and after a short detour the cache was located. Condition of cache and age is quite good. An interesting damp gully with plenty of wild life.
JABs.

Well since my last discovery near here a week ago I thought I might explore today the Old Farm Road. Went for a drive up to the end, well, where the gate is before it turns into a track leading up the foot hills of Mt Wellington. Certainly an old but fascinating road and with farm animals wondering about.

A quick and easy find. Although soaking wet the log book makes good reading going back to May 2005. Great to see caches that last this long. Thanks Caxixi.

Twas a quick find after letting the gps settle on the dashboard of the red puddlejumper, the cache was not at all hidden, the tricky challenge was trying to avoid the pouring rain to grab the cache.
To go with today's rain, the cache was soaking wet inside, so we gave it some TLC:
- wiped all cache surfaces & swaps with an old rag we carry
- cranked up the puddlejumper's aircon to 32degC and put the log book & cache notes in the drink holders to get a good air blast
- wiped out the log baggie until nice & dry.
After a few minutes the rain cleared, the logs & notes were much drier & we found a place in the log book to sign.
Though the end of the log book has been reached, there are plenty of places to log on the back of many pages.
Took a small marine animal for geokid & left 4 marine erasers.
We have replaced with a small amount of camoflage.
Loved this spot & never been here before so went exploring further up the road.
Cheers & TFTC Caxixi

Gps a bit jumpy. Cache was sitting out in open. Still not that easy to see due to colour.

Wet cache, wet log..... wet everything.

Had to pace this one in from the road, and then reconsider - where would I hide a cache? Got it. Too wet to leave any trackables though, seem the fish need water!

Logbook is full and whole cache is very wet....

Found fine once gps settled down, TFTC

Loved the beer palace nearby. Good stuff.

Today Brucie and Freddo had the all clear to have a big day of caching while Sally, two of the tadpoles and I went to the Salamanca Markets. They made the most of it and this was one of the caches they successfully targetted - thankyou.

Lovely spot for poo sticks.. Took coral, left dolphin keyring. Second of the day, first find for ms pirate moo.

Log book is full.

This time I didn't follow the GPS arrow all over the place and I simply had a look around for where I would hide a cache. This made it much easier as I found the cache in a few seconds. Unfortunately the cache is very damp inside, logbook included.

I had a quick look for this one, but found nothing more exciting than blackberries. I'll come back another day when I have more time.
