No activity on this account in 5 years (or in the last month), so it's time to go...
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
A repeat DNF to flag this cache for maintenance... As mentioned previously, there was nothing to crawl for and I believe it has gone MIA.
Hi there two_of_us. I was out hunting this afternoon and after finding #1 and #3, came looking for this cache. I believe that the cache has been muggled and is gone - there is nothing to crawl for.Thanks to two_of_us for the cache.
Bit of luck to complete mission with only 2 of the required 3 clues. Some good stuff for the geo-kids in the cache.
In view of archived #2 cache I have left the setting of the lock on the required missing number. That way next finder if they have visited #1 and #3 should be able work out full combination.
Maybe this practice can continue until #2 is returned to life.

Out for a day of exploration & dodging rain, this was one of the caches we found on our travels... After finding two of the caches in the series (we guess there must have been more at some stage), our sights were on this one... Once close to GZ, we had a short walk to find that Master 5 quickly discovered
Hmmm.... Now what to do? I know, I will give it to Jase to work out . It did not take too long... In fact he had the logbook to hand by the time I could get my phone to open!
TFTC two_of_us . Cache was in good condition.

I was headed to the hills for a lunch time bbq and decided to do a few caches in the area before going. Did this little series whilst dropping off a few GCA moveable caches and then moved on to do a few others. Only only had two parts of the required information so this final was more of a challenge than it might otherwise have been. Eventually signed the log. TFTC and the series.
After my failed attempt here about a month ago I was contacted by a previous finder who kindly let me know the final number. I decided also to replace the cache for number three complete with the missing number hoping the CO wouldn't mind. As it turned out the CO contacted me yesterday and gave me the green light.
I was coming up on a milestone and picked this one for the magic number. So after fixing up the old man's computer in Armadale the geodog Charli and I headed for the hills. Found a parking spot about 170 meters from GZ and we were soon at the cache. It still took a couple of goes to open the lock but I was very pleased when it finally released.
So glad to cross this one off the list. Find number 1100. Giving it a favourite.

After finding a nearby cache myself and the geodog Charli decided to have a bit of a stroll and complete this series in the process. Didn't all go to plan as number three looks like it has been destroyed by a fallen tree.
With only two of the required three numbers I sat down for about twenty minutes trying to jag it but was unsuccessful... Bugger.

We found this and logged it as out 2000th cache. The cache is safe even though there has been a prescribed burnoff in the area. We had to Guess the last number of the lock as the 3rd cache was burnt and gone.
Thanks for the nice walk in to forest.

A bit of a walk through the bush to get to this one but an easy find in the end. Lovely series, thanks.
Had to find this one so I could pick up my pig from Take me home country road #4. When I first started geocaching my sister Gleakk and I decided to have a travel bug race. Gleakk released hers from #4 with the intention of it making it's way to wish you were here (gc3q0h3) and mine from wish you were hear to take me home country road #4. With a bit of a detour along the way the little pig finally won the race! Did this with my other sister Sparklyamy while on a trip back from Brisbane.
Picked up Pig on the wing!!!

Great concept. TFTC and walk today, while we were in town for work. Will be back again sometime soon.
#1184 - 17:50; In Perth on business and having finished the day's work, mastahdemoli and I decided to grab a few caches on the way back to the city to add to the tally for the day. After a quick find not too far from our final appointment, we made our way to complete this series and drop off "Pig On The Wing" a TB which was racing to try to reach the final cache in this series since July 2012. Parked the car at the recommended cords and made our way along the track to GZ after collecting the first three parts of the series and the information required for success in part 4. Made our way to GZ and found the cache quickly. Using the information we had gathered to open the cache took a little bit of effort, but this was soon rewarded. Log signing duties were completed and the obligatory photos of Pig on the Wing completing his mission were taken to record the moment for posterity. I collected little piggy back in July when I knew I had a trip west on the cards, but after several false starts, he made it to his goal. All that is now required is for GLEAKK to come and collect him. TFTC two of us
GPS would not settle here so we used the clue and soon spied a likely location, retrieved the cache and opened the lock no problems! Thanks for a great little series and a wonderful way to end 31/8!!
Found the cache yesterday after collecting the three clues. Tried all ways including as instructed but could not open the lock. Gave up in frustration and came home. Googled "how to open combination locks" and first hit showed how to open the very lock we were dealing with.
Back today with definitive instructions and opened it first try. Glad it was only 3 k's away from home. TFTH worth a favorite.

Fiddled with the lock for ages, with increasing haste as the rain came in. We were sure we had the correct numbers but, oh well, a good excuse to do the loop again. The dog will be happy!
Out with the grandkids (zigolphin) and after a nice walk through the bush on the track we saw the hiding spot from the track. Fumbled the first try with the lock by going too far with one of the numbers but went slower the second time and was successful. Not the type of ammo box I was expecting which was easily retrieved with my walking pole.

Finding the cache was the easy part, getting the combo lock open was some-thing else and it would have been so easy had I read the instructions Not the first time I find the hard way to do!
After finding #3 I continued down the track to this one. The GZ was awesome, what a great spot. Finding the cache was no problem.
I tried my hand at opening the lock but wasn't successful the first time. So I sat down, and tried again, and managed to get it this time! Woohoo!! I was very happy as I don't have much experience with this type of lock.
I left the Travel Bug Dog Tag TB in the cache. Thanks for the walk and the cache two_of_us!

This was our second try at this one, we were not sure if we had the numbers from the previous caches recorded correctly, we checked with the CO and we did have the right numbers so off we went for another try today. hey presto we got it thanks for the series we enjoyed the walk around and today we saw some Kangaroos. ...
We are a little unfamiliar with combination locks and with the instructions a bit vague it took us a while to get in. We're not going to take on safe cracking any time soon . A great little series in a fabulous location at this time of year. The ground orchids were out amongst many other wild flowers. T-TB and stickers D-pathtag TFTC
Take me home, country road #4 (final) was transferred from gleakk to user two_of_us

I'm glad that this got published tonight as that means that I can have a sleep in tomorrow and do not have to worry about getting up early to finish of this great series. Found without problems even though it was very dark out there and the track was a bit rough on my knee as I kept missing the rocks with the torch. Swapped travel bugs and have given this a favourite for the 4 caches.
Thanks gleakk for the cache.
