I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, the_lazy_hiker, requesting additional time.

An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

In Boranup forest we saw the largest Karri trees so far. Very impressive! Apparently there were also many Kookaburra's around, sometimes it got very noisy there Smile. Thanks for this cache!

TFTC! Had a lovely couple of days away with the Geowife, which ironically Cravo10 and ItsKate had booked into the same town as us for the weekend.

With strict instructions on how many caches I could get from the geowife it was a bit like pulling teeth to grab some caches and had to trade off buying a few extras for her to get "just one more"!! This would have to be some of the most expensive caching I've done for some time!!

We were lucky as the Geowife loves a sleep in some pre breakfast caching is allowed, which saw us renting bikes from the hair marron on Brussel highway (highly recommended) and tackling a bunch of the rails to trails series and the caches around wharncliffe mill, which was a huge amount of fun.

This weekend has got me extremely interested in completing the cape to cape track, so we may be back down this way sooner than we otherwise would have. It was a great weekend with some lovely views, awesome wineries, some breweries and who can't resist the olive oil and chocolate factory!! Thanks to the local COs

So a little get away down south was on order just a short stay to enjoy the tourist attractions or just some of our favourite food and beverage places. I will be honest B12 told me he was heading down and I thought a great time to catch some caches with him down there.
It didn't take long for the partners to soon see through the "coincidence" however luckily the 2 ladies love a sleep in and made for enough time to find a handful in the mornings.

Day 5 of my Cape to Cape hike (today's stretch was 25km, starting near Contos and ending at Hamelin Bay), and it was nice to get a pleasant change of scenery with this stretch of the trail going away from the coast and through the bush. Some nice wildflowers (I always love seeing donkey orchids!) were on display. GZ was about 10m off for me today, but I was very grateful for the clue which helped me make the find without too much difficulty. Beautiful walk, and only saw one other human (at the Trig lookout) the entire time I was in Boronup Forest. Thanks for placing this geocache in the area eric.sonja, gives added interest for Cape to Cape hikers like me.

Day 1 of a 4 day cape to cape trek with some muggle buddies! and hopefully not the only cache I can snag on our way to Yallingup.

After giving the speil about what geocaching is about I had help in looking and one of my (maybe not so much now) muggle buddies alerted me to its location!

Thanks eric.sonja! I love this area!

Easy find. My favorite bit of forest in the South West. Lots of wild flowers and pretty orchids this time of the year. TFTC.

This is a very personal GC to me as my dad grew up here. Donovan road is named after my pop who lived down on the farm at boranup for many years . I was very exited to show my partner where my dad grew up as the scenic views are awesome! and we managed to get within 100m of GZ in my lowered 2004 Astra coupe Smile tftc! my personal favourite !!

TFTC - eric.sonia. Camped out at Boranup to do some Cape to Cape walks. Nice to find some caches along the way. Gad 2 goes at this one. Left it a bit late in the day and even though we were on the money, it got too dark. Tried again the next day and voila! a nice easy find and a pleasant walk on the track. Left Urch's TB and swapped dental floss for a Turkish bookmark.
 
08-Apr-13
Our day of walking was close to wrapping up, I shot ahead so I could be assured of grabbing this one. Just off the cape to cape walking track, it was in a handy spot, good sized container as well.
