One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still 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.

This is an easy cache to find if you read the hint. Based on a row of DNFs and hider's absence from website for 2 years, it's probably time to archive.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 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 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Spent a while and could not find, maybe next time

No idea...

Our 2nd DNF today.
[red]We spent quite some time here at around 9:03:00 AM, but even with four pairs of eyes we couldn't locate the cache.

Looked all under the bridge & the building but couldnt find it

Thank you to whoever pushed it half way under the bridge made for fun retrieval!

Had to go a little cross country for this one, which was fun nonetheless. Clever hide in a great little area.

May be next time I come to bunbury

Fount it bit hard to reach though

Lovely spot, feel as though e are right in the swamp. Cache is hard to see if the light is wrong. TFTC

Not quite where it was supposed to be, bit further under, left where found.

Nice find lego men are gold what a stetch

Nice walk, cache was........interesting to get to in the new location, it's a long stretch.

Our 1st full day of caching in the Bunbury Area.
This was avery nice boardwalk to reach this cache which was quickly found.
Thanks Mr Macca

Nice stroll. Tftc

great spot. really enjoyed this walk tftc

Thank you for showing this beautiful place! But I got sunburnt on my head

Many greeting from Germay!

Found it on this cloudy day, but unfortunately no pen ! Tftc

Thought I'd do this one on a cooler day. Wasn't quite within arms reach but I was obviously luckier than ben was 1992 and didn't have to army crawl through the muck.

Thanks Skippy 46, Ooh Yeah, Ben was 1992 and Kristybelle for being brave and retrieving this one to place more suitably. Cheers guys.

Nice afternoon walk watchung the swans

A lovely stroll around the bird park nice to see the black swans close up. thanks to skippy for moving the cache to an easier place to reach.

Out on another day of caching with skippy 46, Kristybelle and ben was 1992. we decided to do another run to bunbury and pick up a few on the way as well. We waited for some muggles to leave and then searched for the cache. I spotted it fairly quickly but getting it wasnt so easy. There was only one way to get it and that was to army crawl through the swan and duck poo.....im not sure if the cache should really be where it is but we replaced it where we found it. TFTC Mr Macca

Arrived at GZ to find some muggles but they didn't stay long when we arrived. The cache was spotted in no time at all but retrieving it was something else. The smell was horrible from the bird poo and who would have thought that swans poo was like a large dogs........eeeeewwwwwwwwwww. Anyway, ooh yeh and I volunteered the youngest of the group ( ben was 1992) to be the one to make the retrieval. This was certainly a first for him, having to army crawl thru all that smelly doo, but he was a good sport and didn't give up, even tho it was in the middle of the observation box!!. Finally we had the cache in hand, logged signed and container replaced not quite so far under.

TFTH Mr Macca

Messy work for my bf LOL

Was the lucky chosen one to army crawl through sh$t and retreave cache

Well hidden

Thx Mr Macca. All quite cache in hand.

Nice hide! Thanks for bringing me here. : )

Found it

Great find Lots of birds

nice walk found with validioness

TFTC, Geohubby got down and got dirty knees to retrieve this one, if you interpret clue properly it is where it should be. Took smiley face, left Hoover Dam badge. SL. Great observation spot for birdlovers.

Good hiding spot. Not where the clue told us. Get prepared to get your knees dirty. Got my first Geocoin. TFTC

Thanks for the hide. A beautiful spot the birds are really quiet walking right up to the board walk. After looking on the other right soon found it.

TFTC, Helps when you are at the right end of the bridge Took boomerang and left Smiley badge and mosaic glass tile.

Found the second time around..Just call me muddy knees.

Had me looking for the right hand side..Looking at the hut, or from the hut.

Returned he cache where I found it.

Our sixteenth find on an epic weekend of geocaching in Bunbury. Lovely walk through the wetlands. No sign of the TB.

TFTC!

TFTC!!

Dropped by to pickup my TB and make an addition and relocate it.

Had a good look around inside the hide, then read other comments about expanding the search and still had no luck. Didn't know how adventurous I had to get. Maybe I should read the hint next time!

On the positive side, it was a nice stroll with loads of birdlife everywhere! It's been a long time since I've spent any time around the Big Swamp.

Woot Woot!!! Found it on the second attempt today! Had pretty much looked right at it but had my head at the wrong angle [:o)] Not quite where the hint says it is, but probably a more stable location for it IMO. Dropped my first Travel Bug in. Look forward to seeing it make it's way around the world! TFTC!!!

No luck today...Hope hasn't washed away...

Loved the zig zag raised wooden walkway to get there! Geokids though they spotted a platypus burrow nearby. Loved all the wildlife around [^]. Lovely area except for the monster Mozzies that were the size of small birds

TFTC Mr Macca

Found with most of the 'B' Crew! For my 40th!! Great for birdwatchers. Such a lovely place!

Found it 2nd without TB Onwards and upwards TFTC

Geobuddy and I were heading southwards to check out a campervan for sale down in Margaret River. Great excuse to grab a few caches and TB's along the way. Was hoping there would be a bug in this one, but no such luck. Don't know where it has got to. Left space ranger action figure to guard future TBs that may visit here. TFTC

A quick trot over to McSwamp had me looking in all the places inside the hide before I finally expanded my search out a bit. Ayup, didn't have the clue on hand.

Nice place for a cache.

Thanks

Rode through the creepy zig zag boardwalk to make a quick find. Very peaceful out here this afternoon with plenty of birdlife active. Thanks for the cache Mr Macca.

We enjoyed visiting this little area of Bunbury. We especially appreciated the commonsence approach taken by Mr Macca in placing and assisting the hunter to have a successful find. No-one like DNF's. TFTC

A board walk through an enchanted swamp to a chorus of water birds. TFTC.

A very nice stroll. The boardwalk that takes a zig-zag tree-avoiding path through the dense paperbark forest is magical! Found the cache lying open on the ground, but it was undamaged. Put it back in what I assume is its proper resting place.

We found it during our 3-weeks holiday in Western Australia.

IN: TB COIN

Lovely walk from car. What a great area. Shame about the vandals who have tried to burn down the hide. Took TB which from its log should be in the Czech Republic!! Will take it to Singapore. Thanks for showing us this area.

Ducks, lots of ducks, TFTC

Wonderful spot. No TB.

Visiting from the UK with my brother, enjoyed a walk round the swamp and the wildfowl that were there, thanks for bringing us here.

Found it with Lucy. Flies were horrendous!

Simple find tftc

all good apart from getting covered in duck doo doo lol

Found it on my holiday when I visit my Czech mate in Bunbury T4TC from Czech republic

Nice walk tftc

nice walk lots of mozzies just on dusk

Last day caching around Bunbury. Took some time this morning to sort out if we had any accommodation tonight as we were extending our stay by another night.

Once that was sorted it was onwards with the list for today.

Well we found it but the hint tried to send us away without our smilie! It is not under the bridge! To that end it may also be muggled very shortly as the bird hide is in need of urgent repairs as the floor boards have a hole in them.

Think the cache will be exposed during repairs! Great spot which we had no idea existed thanks for bringing us here.


TFTC Mr Macca

Enjoyed the long walk and Mr Moneybox climbed down to retrieve the cache. More under the hide than the bridge but a quick find anyway. Saw lots of birdlife and the water hen chicks were so adorable. Big fluffy balls on long legs. Very, very cute. Time to archive the coin. TFTC

Good one,nice scenic location

First one for us in Australia. TFTC very nice place.

What a lovely walk to GZ. The paperbarks were so cool and there were lots of birds I'd never seen before. A shame that someone has set a fire in the hide. TFTC will have to search out the others on my next visit to Bunbury. Just ran out of time today.

went there with thisis2010 as we placed the coin the cache was easy seen as it was right where the fire was moved it across so out of site but belive the dumb people who tried to do the fire discovered an have removed the coin as it was no longer there

We could see the remnants of the fire. Easy find in a gorgeous oasis in the middle of surburbia! Tftf

found it today there was no coin there some bright spark has lit a fire in the hide and burnt a hole in the floor moved the cache 1 meter to the left so its out of sight

good

An easy find, Thanx Mr Macca

An easy find TFTC

this cache is def still there thought we'd give it ago today as there wouldn't be as many people due to the weather its not directly under the bridge use your cache brains to find this very straight forward find left geo coin

Lovely walk but couldn't find the cache.

Found a pen in bushes near to where cache is ment to be. Think the muggles have been. Nice walk though.

Had a quick look since I was in the area, but came up with nothing. Maybe next time

found with mortonstyle; we didnt have a pen!

found

Great location, we loved the wetlands. Thanx for the cache.

Saw a number of water hen chicks of varying sizes as well as 9 ducklings following mum on our visit.
TFTC

Lots of friendly birds and not a single mozzie. A nice hide at a nice hide

We followed the GPS while looking at the ample wildlife in the area. The park is beautiful.
We have no idea what sort of bird were there but there were lots and they didnt seem to mind humans wandering around.
We had a very enjoyable walk in the sun....lucky us it wasnt raining like it had the day before.
Thanks for the new look at Bunbury

From "Playtime" we continued to walk around McSwamp and despite being caught in the rain it was a most enjoyable and picturesque walk, particularly the boardwalk to GZ amongst the Paperbarks - quite beautiful! And thanks to the hint it was a very quick find, so we didn't have to linger too long in the rain. Thanks for bringing us to this area and the hunt Mr Macca.

Nice location. User friendly. Cache was in middle, under observation hut. Made it neccesary to lie on ground with stick to retrieve it.

Day was overcast.

Found on a Bunbury caching day with urch. Enjoyed the walk right around the swamp and especially along the boardwalk between the trees. Thanks for getting us to see this area Mr Macca.

Down from Mandurah for the Cache meet. What a truly beautiful location.. think I will be coming back here with overseas visitors in a few weeks.
TFTH… easy find
Found with Maddmum

I said got this way and she said go that way. We ended up at this cache and was a quick find.
Found it with Pop up Pirates.
