As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

This cache is definitely gone - if there was any chance that it may have still been present the new fence that is being built would make well and truly sure that no one is able to access GZ anyway. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I note the cache owners are "disbanded" and that this cache is up for adoption - suggest archiving.

We couldn't find it! We are thinking it could of been muggled and or bulldozed think it needs to checked!!!

Hunted around couldn't find sorry

Sorry, didn't find this one, we all looked very hard. I'd suggest Mischief's Crew review it . Either that, or we weren't looking hard enough.

Searched high and low for this one, but all to no avail. So many spots to hide it. We spent nearly half an hour looking.
Very nice spot, maybe we'll try again another day, we,re often walking through here.

TFTH.

Lin & Jim.

Was hoping for an easy find on this one but a good search yielded no results. Bummer. TFTH anyway. No luck today.

Good cache

Thanks Holly, great way to spend a 10th birthday party with some friends!!

Thanks, TNLN.

Found it. 11/11/12 N+J ??

Found with Duncdonut73, Kellexley and Princess Fiona. TFTC

Found with duncdonut and Princess Fiona. TFTC

Out for the day in the Byford Hills to tackle some of the newer caches that have recently appeared.
Weather was set to be quite warm so an early start was made with team OOH YEH.
No snakes seen today thank goodness and despite our best efforts to keep the ticks in the bush a few hitchhiked their way back to our homes.

We started off our day with this wonderful treasure chest. Loved that it was filled with treasures. GPS took us right up to it. Grandsons would have loved to find this one.

TNLN TFTH Mischief's Crew

Since the geo hubby was home i thought it was time to tackle the rest of the byford hill caches. We picked up skippy 46 on the way and made an early start before it got to warm. We put on heaps of bushmans spray so we are hoping not to bring any ticks home with us this time, but we will see. Started at this cache and this one was an easy find and the cache box contained lots of treasure TFTC

Found with Mihiwaka while on a caching run in the Wungong Regional Park ... our first find of the day. Took a few minutes of searching because the GPSr was playing up, but an easy find in the end. Very impressive treasure Trove. TNLN. SL. TFTH Mischief's crew.

easy

Hadn't intended to come out this way today, but here I am. Found another cache not too far from here, and did a search for any caches nearby that were loaded onto a friend's garmin that I am trialling. Was surprised to see this one pop up. Didn't know what I was looking for, but it was hard to miss. Another smiley face earned. Thanks Mischief's Crew

Awesome so much fun my five year old loved it

We decided to go for walk to burn off our lunch, so we decided to scout this one out. A quick walk to GZ and the usual hiding spot was seen, Chil found the cache and was happy to see a large cache for a change. Sl TFTC Mischief's Crew

Nice hide TFTC

Took a bit of a while to find this one. Cache all in order. Found while with the Family Bushwalking Club on avisit up the Wungong Gorge. TFTC TNLN.

Wungong trip.

First cache for the day out walking with WA family bush walking club. TFTC!

Coolies

Took geo coin

Great walk and nice cache! TFTF... Took a coin and left a coin!

Treasure hunting with yoplay found the loot have taken the trackers and placed new treasure not hard to find the large ammo box

Quick find after a day rock climbing in Wungong Valley. We left a TB and a Geocoin that have both traveled pretty far!

After we all enjoyed a picnic lunch, Mr iluvtrekking and richlink ge-hubby set off on this track to make a few finds. This was the first find along the way and the ammo was full of goodies that kids would love.

A reasonably quick find after a pleasant walk to GZ. I'm over here on holiday from Wales visiting family and can't help thinking that my 4 grand-daughters aged between 3 and 8 would all have loved being involved in finding this one. TFTC

Awesome walk amongst the trees !! Thank you

a nice walk to the cache, glad there was a nice breeze, we took onr of rugrats and her family with us. they are hooked and the latest grandchild can say she did her first cache at 21 days old. had to watch out for the ants along the way as they were very busy.

: )

Found with carle22. TFTC

A nice easy find to round out a great day long walk, albeit in somewhat inclement weather, with a couple of other Geocachers from the West Australian Family Bushwalking Club.

Re-logging under new team name ONLINE ONLY (were formerly part of TheChatterboxes but the team had got too large). If CO is not ok with this please contact me. Thanks.

Watch for the ants. Took The Jeep trackable, and shells and left frangipani air freshner. Loved the treasure chest.

My first cache along with help from nelsonthedog! Bush lovely before offical snake season in October.

Found it!
Fantastic afternoon's caching with Team Tsotras. . .except for Jess, who doesn't like us any more. . .

TNLN. . .TFTC Mischief's Crew!

What a wonderful walk.. We have this as third on our hunt for the afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed the walk out here, Left the Jeep Travel Bug.. Someone else can continue its journey..

found with petensoaf

jess was too busy to play with the oldies today...........

You have the honour of making this my very first cache. Congrats to you. I was going for a run and decided to look for the cache. Lots of nice things in there, but I was not prepared enough to leave anything. Will be better prepared next time. Actually decided to head off and find Steel Gong up the valley further. That became my 2nd cache.

Nice walk, will come back to check out the gorge. Thx for bringing us here. Lot of antZZZ. tnl clay frog sl t4tc
ps There was a label for a turtle TB but no turtle. hmmm

While walking through the Wungong Gorge I found A Pirate's Treasure for Holly.

Thanks for the cache Mischief's Crew.

Was so happy just walking the trail and forgot about the cache and ended up going back 100m to find it. A nice spot with the sound of running water.
TFTC left toy.

Found with some newbies, "the Black Patch". A great time had by all and hopefully a great intro to geocaching for them.
A lovely walk too. Took Pirate TB. TFTC

A nice easy flat walk. BUT the ants were everywhere except at GZ thank goodness. Chwiliwr covered cache with leaves but they have blown off. I too did my best to cover. I set out to find this cache today as I had a Pirate TB looking for a suitable place. Dropped it off TNSL and almost ran back to the car to make sure I didn't get 'ants in my pants'!! Loved the walk and the area TF bringing me here.

Last cache for this morning in this area. Was a very enjoyable walk in to the cache. Only saw one muggle walking his dog on the way in and a couple on the way out. Found the cache a bit exposed once I got to the right side of it so when I put it back used some leaf litter to help disguise it from casual observation.

Thanks for the cache.

Awesome cache. Took pirate toy, left golf ball.

Lovely walk in my favourite park. A nice easy find though nearly got taken out by the wire fencing hidden in the black boys... sure I won't be the last We took another trail back home which was covered with ants. My young boys learnt quick not to stand in one place too long. The cache is in good condition. My young boys were absolutely delighted with the contents. TN LN TFTC.
Sorry, being new to this Geocaching, I'm not sure if I mention the Travel Bug which I left. I'll be logging it elsewhere as per instructions.

Champstarr...TFTH...

Last cache for the day, called by after completing a series of newly released caches in the Jarrahdale area and another nearby cache.
I enjoyed the walk into the cache, there seemed to be a few people in the park today.
Thanks for the well stocked cache, took nothing left nothing.

Beautiful walk alongside the creek. Lots of huge orange butterflies in the first part of the walk, very impressive! Loved the cache and the treasure box!!! Left a 1948 penny to add to the treasure stash, and did some small swaps. TFTC!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Very nice and green at the moment. Nice walk, never been in this area before. DO watchout for the fallen fence-it's at ankle height and very hard to see (if you are looking for something else

A quick grab after some of my other efforts today, thankyou!! But you could have warned me about that rusty barbed wire though, that hurt a bit

A well stocked cache in a nice location, thanks for bringing me here Mischief's Crew

TNLN - SL


Cheers

Nice easy walk to this one and a nice hide, took Skewers left bat and ball toy, signed log thanks for showing us this place. We have often seen a few cars parked to entrance to this park but never stopped before.

A lovely cache. Took badge and left fridge magnet. Signed the log. TFTH & TFTC

Our first find of the day we were trying out the Magellan eXplorist GC, GPSr.
Great walk and easy find by oldest geo-daughter.
TFTC, SL

We came here after visiting Armadale Reptile Park where we let G. O. Lizard visit some of his friends. We loved the reptile park and were glad we thought of going there. It was also a lovely walk to Holly's Cache and lots of nice treasure in the box. However we TNLN except for our lizard friend

Never been into this place before, so we really enjoyed the stroll down to the cache on a fine Winters Day.
TNLNSL...Many thanks for bringing us here today, a well stocked cache for the younger ones too..

I can't believe we didn't know this cache was here before. we came this way a couple of months ago for another cache ... doh. thanks for the walk and the cache TSLS SL

A nice walk to gz and lots of loot in the cache. TNLN. Thanks Mischief's Crew

nice cache found this one only 350 metres away from a different. TNLN SL TFTC

Found this on the walk back from Seeing for miles with Miss Terry. SL TNLN TFTH

My first geocache in Australia for a couple of years - nice walk in along the track on a warm afternoon and great assistance from Piglet's sister in law and three little Piglet assistants. Put in a couple of geocaching badges and a transformer - took out a DVD, cuddly horse and a head net - middle-sized Piglet assistant was suffering from the flies! TFTC.

We enjoyed hunting for this cache.Thank you for sharing it with us.

Easy walk - kids found it - glad we did this one in winter. Remember when this land was a farm before being purchased by the State Government. Look out for rock dogs on your way in. Took nothing left eye glasses cleaning cloth key ring. Great treasure chest! TFTH

Today is AlliedOz B'day and what did he wish for? Caching and lots of it! So an Annual Leave day was booked at work and an early start to head down south for a full days walking and better yet caching!

This was our first of a few today, a pleasant stroll along the road to the cache, lots of ant hills but due to the recent rain and a colder day they all seemed to be in slow motion.

The cache was found without too much fuss, cachers be careful as the nice long green grass is hiding the rusty wire fence at the moment.
Nice to see an Ammo box, the treasure box appealed to our youngest BIG time, so much so we might have to make one for her after the disappointment that it was not a trade item Life is hard when your 5.

Grabbed the Lewis Bear TB
Took :Car
Left: Pony

AlliedOz aka The Jokers

A nice walk along an easy trail....except for the red ants...they were everywhere!!! Took a few small toys, and left a few toys
Left Meriwether Lewis (2J7YR4) TB.
TFTH!

Took 3 kids with me, found after a little searching, lots of treasures. Took torch, some jewelery. Left Dvd, kids toys. Nice location, great walk for the kids.

This location is familiar. We remember doing the old archived cache a few years ago.
I took the bike out for a spin and rode along the track to within a few metres of the cache.
The cache was easy to find and very well stocked. We liked the Pirate treasure chest.
We took the mirror and added the Fly net.
This time the stream was running even though it hasnt rained for a long time. We didnt hang around too long as last time we managed to collect a few tick bites while here....once bitten, twice itching.
Thanks for the nice cache location.

nice easy cache with relaxing walk
Took: rock neclace
Left:love braclet
signed log book

A lovely walk along a very nice - flat - track Had no trouble finding the cache.
Unfortunately the ants found me, and I'm not really very fond of ants. I was quite a sight hopping around from one foot to the other while trying to sign the log book and chat to my husband on the phone from Argyle. LOL
I didn't see the GCs in the cache, but there was a recent maintenance note from the owners that suggested they may have taken them to move along. But I was a bit distracted because of the ants too.
Lots of black cockies and other birds out and about this afternoon. Thanks for the walk and the cache!

Just re-logging caches i have done under a different team name (3BlindEyes)

Dropped in today to leave a couple of travelbugs (coins) I brought back from Germany.

In: Home Sweet Home
Regions of Germany

There are still lots of butterflies around and millions of ants....not good standing still for too long.

Thanks, great spot, Thanks for bringing us here, Nice walk,Geokid loved the cache, Thankyou very much for a very well stocked and generous cache.
T - Mirror Ball & Sticky Frog, L - Keychain & Essential Oils
Also took Doh Simpson Travel Bug, Our 1st, To move on, Thankyou Urch.

Another beautiful day for a walk in the hills. I really enjoy these mostly FLAT hills walks, very peaceful except for the birds and babbling brook and great scenery. Found cache well stocked but TN and swapped TBs. Left Doh! Hommer TB.
Thanks for the hunt, Mischiefs Crew.

We have not been to this area before - our loss - what a wonderful place for a stroll. Left some treasure took nothing.

Popped in with 3BlindEyes to check to see if our Cache Aid coin was still there or not, so many visits and not grabbed. Yah, it was! Lost at the bottom of the cache.

We also dropped off our new TB All Blacks Rugby Ball which has the co-ordinates for our new cache First Five Eighth.

Oh and we grabbed the Kiwi coin that 3BlindEyes dropped off. Had to grab that - I mean it's Kiwi!

Enjoyed a nice cold evening walk out to this cache with Mischief's Crew to see if their 'Mischief's Cache Aid Box Geocoin' was still actually in the cache as nobody had logged it out yet. It was laying down on the bottom of the ammo can, so it was still there. I grabbed it to move it on to another cache. I left the '2006 Kiwi - Japan 3' geocoin here to continue its travels. I also discovered Mischief Crew's 'Mighty All Blacks Rugby Ball' TB while I was here after they placed it in the cache. The mozzies were getting quite friendly while we were here! Thanks for the cache Mischief's Crew. Cheers! Mal

A quick find on a walk down this beautiful valley. Retrieved Amelia Earplane TB. Thanks for the cache Mischief's Crew.

We had a lovely walk through the field of butterflies. Caching kid loved them flying about.
Found the cache easily.

TNLN

*Found using the family group name Mackerals. Have decided to log it under my new profile.

Had to come back a 2nd time as the dog was playing up. Found ok. Took pirate paint set and pirate scarf (geo grandkids!).
Left bag of jewellery and pack of kids wipe off learning cards.
Also left Amelia plane TB.
TFTH

Why are pirates pirates?? Because they ARRRRRRRR...

Had to get that one in! This is a lovely walk which we have done twice now, only because the 1st time we couldn't get satelites on our GPS but decided to check it out anyway.

Today we had none of those problems and found the cache easily. Thanks to the friendly bull ants in the area Jan did a funny little rain dance that had to be seen to be believed. Sorry Mum, I know they hurt!

T: Dread Pirate Darkwing TB (who we think is gorgeous)
LN,SL

Thanks for bringing us to this area which we have driven past many a time due to living in the area for the last 33yrs but never ventured in.

Janale Girls

Just popped up to place Dread Pirate Darkwing TB as felt it was appropriate for him to visit this cache, along with Mischief's Cache Aid Coin to start its journey. Grabbed the Irish Hunter Geocoin whilst there, had to it's a dog coin. Amber wanted to move it.

Finally found it this arvo, just on sun-down. This was our 4th attempt after a run of bad-luck. However we also experienced the best bit of our caching so far - meeting other cachers - Mischief's Crew and 3BlindEyes! Which made it worth all the fuss
1st attempt: 16th june. approached from the wrong side of the creek and travelled up and around a forested hill (in the rain). Headed back to the car and decided to approach from the other side. Bumped into Mischief's Crew and 3BlindEyes, who gave us the correct co-ordinates and a GC. Headed off in the dark and spent 2 hours looking before we gave up at midnight.
2nd attempt: 17th june. Matt went out first thing the next morning and spent 3 hours out looking. DNF.
3rd attempt: 17th june. We all headed out again as soon as I got back from work. Spent a couple hours, until it got dark. By this time we were getting pretty aggravated. Decided to ask for a hint.
4th attempt: 19th june. Went out and found it after 5 minutes looking. Sooooo. happy.
Took: pins and a pad
Left: neat little pen-light
also took "cach" GC and "spend a penny" travel bug
TFTC

A nice easy find (thanks!) after our arrival home yesterday from Lancelin and other points further north. Wungong Valley is one of the prettiest and accesible valleys in the metro area, and we have it here in Armadale. Some very sore muscles and joints showed up on the walk too . T: Tea-towel, L: skewers and the 'Irish Hunter' TB, SL. Thanks to Mischiefs Crew for the cache.

Found it with mum.

tfth

It is a wonder I didn't actually trip over the fence and roll down the bank as well. But no, because I had downloaded off the website on to the Colorado we also were searching in the wrong area. It was dark as and trying to pinpoint things was really hard. So we took a wrong track that crossed a creek. Mal crossed it easy - the same cannot be said for me and then as I was already wet I stayed in the creek and Gav used me as a balancer. Then with a lot of walking off in the wrong directions as I was totally disorintated by this stage - to finally getting back on the right course we finally found it. One positive it was actually me who recognised the spot and found it.

BUT YES - IT WAS THE CAT who made all this happen - revenge for putting him the cattery for a couple of days!

I walked out here yesterday afternoon with the wrong co-ords which took me about 150m further on across the creek. My GPSr is about 5m out with the crew's so a short search later I had the box. I took a trackable and the prize.

It may be worthwhile going out to this one in the next couple of weeks as the butterflys, the orange ones don't know the name, are starting to hatch and we saw quite a lot still chewing away.

And Jude I don't know how you fell in the creek as the cache is no where near it unless you tripped over that wire fence and rolled down the bank. I'd still blame the cat.

t4th

After an email from arlorggen saying she couldn't find the cache, Gavin & Jude had a sneaking suspicion their co-ordinates for their new cache were wrong again! They asked if I could come out and check the co-ordinates for them, so they picked me up at 8pm and off we went for a cold night of searching. We looked all over the place for their cache and couldn't find it, but after we had walked a few kilometers, Jude eventually found it. Jude fell in a creek while crossing it to make the night interesting. After the cache was found, I got good co-ordinates of S32 11.785 E116 01.414 which I checked several times. It was a cold wet night, with puddles all over the place and soggy ground. One highlight was on the way back to the car where we bumped into Dead Reckoning. It was very nice to meet Matthew & Leena. We gave them the correct co-ordinates to the cache and I passed on the Whitly TB geocoin to them to have for a while. They were ecstatic about that. We decided to have a look for Miss Terry 03 while we were in the area but couldn't find it. Headed back to the vehicle just as the rain started coming down. A great adventure, which is what geocaching is supposed to be all about!

S32 11.785
E116 01.414
Well Mischief's Crew strikes again, actually the Jude part of Mischief's Crew strikes again. I transposed the 78 in my original setting of this cache. I checked and checked and then checked it again but was determined obviously to turn that 7 and 8 around.

We took Mal from 3BlindEyes to check on it with us tonight and so the above co-ordinates are correct. Confirmed by our stupid Colarado and two PDAs. I believe I will have to get the Ump to change the co-ords on the cache as I think it is over 160meters difference.

We met Dead Reackoning on our way back from checking it. They were off to find it and yes we did give them the correct co-ordinates. Sorry everyone but I could not allow them to go hunting in the bush with the incorrect co-ords. To me that would not have been nice to allow. So I am guessing they will be getting the F2F.

I think from now on any caches I place I will make them mystery ones. The mystery will be what goes wrong on it? Wrong co-ords, flooding, burnt out the same day or what? If the Ump will publish any more for me that is.

I apologise to anyone who went for the hunt on the wrong co-ords we are really sorry. If it is any consolation I fell in the creek tonight looking for it. Pay back I am sure. The head is hung low.
