Logs
This cache is classified as a Traditional. The coordinates listed on the traditional cache page should be the **exact location of the cache.** From a number of logs it would seem the co-ordinates provided for this cache (on the cache page) are not where the cache is actually located. From the guidelines [Listings must contain accurate GPS coordinates.](https://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx?expand=1#coordinates)
It would seem the circumstances pertaining to this cache do not conform to the Geocaching guidelines. The CO has been given the opportunity to rectify the situation but this does not appear to have happened.
As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in Subject), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.
Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Found with help from previous log entries. We sat on the nearby park bench and 2 of my 3 geokids did some "swapping". Cache is nice and dry and in good order.
### MAINTENANCE REQUIRED? ###
I notice from recent log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of owner intervention as there are one or more comments in regard to the accuracy of the cache co-ordinates. Therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
A basic tenet of geocaching is that listings must contain accurate GPS coordinates. At the moment it would seem that this requirement is not being met in regard to this cache, see the guideline here: [Listings must contain accurate GPS coordinates.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#coordinates) Could you please update the listing with accurate coordinates? A how to is here: [How do I update coordinates for my geocache?](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=61)
Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; ***"if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can."*** see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance ) and here's how; [Temporarily Disable and Enable,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) also check out this Blog: [Helpful Tips To Keep In Mind As A Geocache Owner.](http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/)
Please respond to this situation by ** 19th August** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.
**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Kids are having a blast caching around St Helens today. Left some of their treasures. TFTC
We found it more by luck than hardwork. Had given up searching and were on our way to the toilet when my bright eyed 7 year old found it on the right.
Its easy to find a cache when I use the correct co-ordinates. Took the TB and will move it to Hobart. TFTC
Found today at 1300.
Nice easy find using the updated ones provided by previous caches.
Thanks to them.
Nice memorial to those lost.
Thanks for bringing us here.. now off for fish n chips lunch and let the Georodents go beserk at the nearby park.

#2995 (Streak day 355)
Final day of our trip to Tassie.
After a DNF at a cache near our motel, we came here for today's find.
Started at the published coordinates but nothing.
Checked recent logs... Ash, one of those.
Grabbed **Fnsaws** corrected ones. For a quick find.
Yep - S41 19.604 E148 14.860 is pretty much on the mark. Glad it's a decent sized container.
Took to the nearby bench to complete signing duties, discover the TB since it doesn't want to fly interstate, and replaced.

St Helens was our last stop for the day, as the sun was setting we had fish and chips just across the road from this Cache.
After having a good look for this Cache and having no success we were just about to give up and getting ready to log a DNF, we decided to check some of the previous logs. If it wasn't for the log by fnsaws we would never have found this little blighter. We think that the co-ors for this Cache could do with an update.
Thanks Tassie Devils

Fourth find for tassie second by myself, the original waypoint it sends you to is incorrect but found a closer waypoint in the comments!! Very hard when juggles are around!!... Now to get it back!
Thanks to fnsaws for the updated coordinates for this cache. We enjoyed this park and its features and spent some time taking it all in before looking for the cache. This is a great memorial and we appreciate having a reason to stop and visit it. TFTC
As per the Fnsaws the new co-ords and photo are spot on. Heading towards the original co-ords one can see this cache is suffering from a severe case of "cache creep". Perhaps the CO could look into this[?] SL, tidied up the contents and left some extra loot; TFTC
Found it. Glad to get this one this time round. After seeing some finds on it we decided to have a retry. And yes, it's way off GZ. And yes the photos posted are no help. So we searched all over to 30 metres all round which is a lot of ground, But found it around S 041 19.604 E 148 14.860. Seeing as this is supposed to be a difficulty 1 which it isn't because of the wrong coordinates we've put a pic in line up with that and cache will be directly to your left.
Also found it thanks to clues given by others , particularly the last families photo
Yay! We found it and are looking right at it in our pic. Coordinates are out for sure, reading the log helped us find it. Don't give up, it's definitely there.
Found it but only because of the people yesterday. Coords are way off and will need changing. Also the hint is useless.
TFTC Anyway

Yes. Found it!!! Took some searching. You need to look as far as a 30meter radius from GZ. The 'hint' really helped. Great stash. Lunch box with green lid.
Well we tried every spot here including the flowerbeds and lavender bushes and all the other things around and as with everyone else... No luck! We think for a difficulty rating of easiest it either needs changing after all the dnf's or the CO should verify if it's still there. We don't think it is. But, thanks for the hunt in a lovely spot
We're on a six month stay here from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney, to tour in the caravan and also visit our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley On four previous visits before this visit, we were muggles, so we have a whole island of caching fun ahead of us!

No find for us this evening. Still nice to stop and remember, though. Thanks anyway, Tassie Devils. =^.^=
Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today. [8)] Hopefully we were just cache blind again.
Looked under all bushes, trees etc. but couldn't find, there is a tree full of memorial stuff so we felt bad snooping around so gave up!
Yeah found this cache today thanks to C's great looking. This is a beautiful peaceful place for a memorial. For those that don't know this park is also a memorial for other special people. Xxx
On our 3 week holiday in Tassie we did a couple of caches - and this was one of them. Searched the area two times, but didn't find it. Maybe next time we have more good luck.
Found during our two weeks trip in Tassie. Such a lovely island, great places to visit. TFTC!
Too easy....but pretty spot to reflect on all the lost souls
Nothing to swap, so took nothing

Thanks Tassie Devils for this one. Got it just before a serious muggle came along. It's all in good order. RoamingParsons from Bargara, near Bundaberg.
Another days touring and what better way of checking out an area than by spending it caching. On a placid day like today it is hard to imagine so many lives lost.
Took TB
Thanks Tassie Devils

Quick find today. Dropped off TB FISH OUT OF WATER. RIP to all fisherman that made the ultimate sacrifice. Tftc
Thanks Dinko1974 for dropping off the TB Fish out of Water TB6CJCB. What a fitting place to be released. Happy Geocaching.
We found this one during our camper-van holiday in Tasmania.
Thank you for the Cache and greetings from Germany.

Auf unserer dreiwöchigen Tour durch Tasmanien gemeinsam mit smellfooth, silli1310 und kapi84 hier vorbeigekommen und uns ins Logbuch eingeschrieben. TFTC.
We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
No bees around today. Fairly quick find.
Thanks for the fun Tassie Devils!

This is a great little memorial to those who perished while trying to make a living. A lovely little park, Tftc.
On our todays tour we visited this site.
We took the opportunity to search for the cache nearby. We found it and signed the logbook.
Thanks for this nice cache !

I nearly passed this one on my walk into town. It took me a little while to find it - the hint didn't help me much - but it is wheel chair accessible which did help me.
Stavamo quasi per rinunciare al ritrovamento quando ecco che la cache ci spunta proprio da sotto il naso. Grazie Tassie Devils per averci portati qui
We stopped nearby for lunch. A lovely little park to eat at. All is well and signed. Tftc.
The hint was accurate today... Lots of them around!
Dropped off Edmonton Oilers tb, picked up St Andrews tb II

# 7272. Holiday time on the Apple Isle with Robmc. Our last full day camping along the Bay of Fires so we made a very early start to find some caches around the Binalong Bay and St Helens areas before heading back to snorkel in those glorious azure waters.
Yes there were certainly bees here today and as I am allergic to them it was not fun to find the cache. At other times of the year it might also be muggle-free but today there were a lot of people lined up for the showers and the searching area is in their full view. Around the back side of the park would be a much better spot. Also everyone driving into town also sees the search area. Finally, got our hands on it and retreated to the table to sign the log. A nice little memorial park however.
Thanks Tassie Devils
