This cache is being archived as there is an issue which has not been maintained. The cache owner can reactivate this listing by placing an "unarchived" log against it should they see fit.

Came past today with the kids to show them this cache which I found several years back. Alas time has not been kind, container mostly disinterested and not much left. Time to go I think

Quick find but as other have said, it had water inside the container. Emptied it all out and let dry for a bit.

TFTC.

As per our log this cache is a water sodden paper mache mess. Needs maintaining as per logs from last winter

Well I found what was once the cache but it was just a container out in the open and full of 3 inches of water. All that was left was paper mache. I attempted to dry it out but it was a losing battle. This cache needs replacing or drying out completely and then putting into black plastic. Hopeless the way it is. Previous logs all indicate it has been wet for a very long time.

Found this one on a night journey with Shael6636. Thanks for bringing us to this great park! Cache was a bit damp, drained it of fluid, and did our best to tidy it up. TFTC.

Our last one in this lovely bush land. Amber enjoyed her wander around here as we did with 3BlindEyes, on a really lovely sunny Perth day. TFTH, TNLNSL

either this cache or 3 sisters needs a new note pad. Didnt have one handy as we were on bikes and didnt really think about taking anything as we were just going for a quick ride on the bikes.

Number two of three finds in this area of bushland

Found while looking for a geocaching.com cache. TNLN. Thanks for the hunt.

A lovely COOLer day for a caching bonanza. Another easy find in this group of 3 GCA caches. Thanks for the hunt, talook.

Quick find while continuing the nice walk through the bush. We'd been wondering whether we should call this a sport, but there were people on the other side of the fence who were wandering around looking for small white balls, and they call that a sport! Thanks for the cache talook.

Thanks for the chance to stroll thru this area of Perth picking up several caches. TNLN SL

Our second GCA find in this area......looks like the kids like the area with some fancy cubby houses and swings to play on nearby.

Thanks for the series of walks in this bushland.

Sixth of 14 for the day - my best ever day.
The container was half full of water and very smelly. I discarded the ruined items and dried it out, put the container in a plastic bag.
LCC, T rubbish, L horse & mini hiliter to re-stock the cache a bit.

A nice simple cahce. TNLN. TFTH.

3rd of the day and the 2nd of three nice and close to each other here. Only a little damp (forgot to bring a clean plastic bag..sorry ) Arrived about 1.25 Took the croc keyring, and left a USA $0.50....SL

Cache very damp, poured out some water, dried it as best we could, but we didn't have our bag of "extras with us". Maybe the next person could take a plastic bag with them to give it a bit of extra protection for he winter. TN-LT-SL

Found with Teamroc on our CacheQuest#2 TFTN TNLNSL.

Found with Baldivis Settlers on our second cache quest. TNLNSL T4TH

Quarter full of water - stubby holder absorbed most of it. Logs were okay, although the fronts of the pages are all used up. Took nothing, left shell. Thanks!

Saw a Kangaroo whilst approaching the GZ. Wow!! It was only 10 m from me. Didn't expect that!! I think it was heading for the cache and I must of spooked him/her (kangaroos don't like muggles either). 2nd of 3 finds today in the area. Unfortunately kangaroos = ticks

2nd of 3 caches right near my parents house. Good opportunity to drop in.

Hello,another easy find not far from the other cache.Left keyring.A lady walking her dog must of thought i was up to no good.Anyway thanx for the cache. Gus

A nice and quick find. Lot of lovely wild flowers everywhere. Enjoyed walking around in the bushland. (Beware ticks I got it) TNLNSL except s/card. Thanks to talook for the cache.

Upgraded cache container, the later was getting small with the added calling cards and some more goodies.
Kangeroo's were a plenty and the odd rabbit.
Wild flowers are showing up every where, Take the time to have a walk around the lime stone tracks and soak up the sun and fresh air.

Short walk to this one, easy find.

SL tnln thanks

was being driven round by mum so she bought me to the area to grab a few more finds. great location and interesting container.

Checked the Cache 13/8/2006 weather conditions: light drizzle, only one person spotted jogging in the area. Found a couple of golf course flags and returned them to the Golf Course , all I got was a thanks, you would have thought they would give me a game of golf or a bucket of balls to hit off for my troubles, any way we do the right thing by people and satisfaction should be our only reward..right, sigh.

Found easily. At least I knew which cache I had found with the card that was inside (I left the card so the cache can be identified).I also put the log book (papers) in a zip lock bag just in case water enters the container. SL TNL:collectable mini police badge. t4th

Checked the cache 11/08/2006 7pm all is dry and in tack, added a calling card for the next person to take with them

I think that you will need to seal the very top of this container as although no water tipped out it must have been close as the log book? was very damp.

Signed log. Thanks for the cache.

Took in your comment PappaBear_Left , I exchanged the container for an up market one sparing no expense also marked the container 'Cache" so yeah you did get the right one, sorry no exchanges in this one yet but hey I am going to leave a calling card next time as a keep sake, I have concealed the container from mugglers and to make it a little more of a challenge.
I took in the weather conditions in my hide so hunters could still come out in the rain, unlike me I take the conditions as a challenge.
P.S left my own comment in the log book and yes it was drizzly so no rain doesn't worry me none.

Seek and thou shall find

I finally had some time when I was not sick in bed, in the area, and had a pause in the rain for the time being.

An... unusual... cache hide. There was nothing to suggest that it was, in fact, a cache (no note or name on the first page or anything) so I hope I've actually found the right thing!

I signed the log, and looked across the bush to where I could just.. about.. see the other cache from the mysterious talook!
