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.

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.

Still no contact from owner

The wall no longer exists can you please confirm this cache is still in play.

.No sign of a wall or stairs please check and report.

There is no broken wall here anymore, council has removed it and renovated area, pretty sure cache has gone with wall, could CO please attend to this or archive

Did not find, no broken wall here, can owner confirm cache is still in play

Did not find. Some locals suggested the broken wall has been removed?

Out and about for the day to pick up some more smileys. TFTC

Found it TFTC

Another morning drive around to find a few more caches in Bunbury.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good quick finds.
A different puzzle with a nice safe hide at GZ.
Thanks for the cache Mr Macca,
[Red]Roostaman[/Red] (from NSW).

Thx Mr Macca. Interesting way of locating caches.

took caite16 on a tour of bunbury and had to get this one too

mum took me to get some caches that i didnt have a smiley on TFTC

An early start saw us at the part with walker and doggie muggles. We soon found the start point and wondered which way to point and how far. After a bit of scout around we had the idea and soon headed to the right spot after. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

[I found it... eventually. ] I think the coordinates are very different to actual location though.

Left bagdge, took 5 cents! Easy find

This was our 3rd cache find in a caching run of 10 Finds & 1 DNFs today.
We found it at 09:48 so this now makes our total find count 7700.

Another day out caching with The Drovers. We started quite early in an attempt to beat the heat - and by and large it was a successful day.
We spent quite some time here today, and eventually figured we were a little "short sighted". Some of the mothers tending kids in the area thought we were on a team building exercise, and we didn't disillusion them.

Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Around 2 metres.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks Mr Macca for the hunt today.

Another morning caching with Ian and Penny, before we went out to lunch.
We walked around for some time, before the penny dropped.
After that, it was a quick find.
Told the Mum's watching and wondering what we were doing, that we were team building.
Many thanks, Mr Macca, for the cache.

Massive fun on the playground while looking for it!

Jonathan family found today whilst playing at the playground. TFTC

Wow! What a great geohunt cache! This is definitely the best mystery cache I have done

Nice playtime cache. A nice think and stroll on a balmy summers evening!

Found it. Pretend the aero glider isn't there.

Easy find tftc

Great cache thanks for the find!!

had me stumped for a while there then I looked at the date when it was placed and realized so then I found it straight away. tftc

Easy cach!!

Fairly easy, wrong gps

GPS wrong. Good location. We went in the wrong direction and when we figured out what direction it was easy.

Nice one, thanks Mr Macca.

Didn't quite complete this cache in the spirit it was intended, but I managed to locate it all the same.

TFTC Mr Macca!

we were confused for a while. tftc

So glad to have this one crossed off. Been a few times but lots of muggles and gps had me on the road so gave up within minutes. Read a few of the previous logs and the clues again and found it ever so easily tonight.

Must be careful in the carpark later at night as we did come across a young couple 'parking' the other night

Easy find, so many childhood memories in this park TFTC

Lots of childhood memory's TFTC

Was lost with gz the clue helped otherwise wouldn't found

Pleased to report the cache is still in the right place! Keep
Looking fellow cachers - think
Hadrian's wall!

DNF, searched everywhere we thought it might be, next to hint, that didn't help us either. Thanks anyway, it is a great playground for kids

What a great playground can see why it is so packed out. Will have to come back another time when it's not so busy maybe with some kids.

Wasn't sure if the cache was still current after all the construction work, (didn't check previous logs before heading out) Lots of muggles due to being fathers day. Will have to come back and search again.

Found between showers on a wet Bunbury winter morning. A long way from the construction site, but had to locate it without lining up the drink fountains. Thanks Mr Macca

Our second DNF on our epic Bunbury weekend. Tried not to look suspicious hanging around a childrens playground. Could not for the life of us see where it could be. There's construction going on, and a whole area was fenced off. Wondering if it might be behind the fence.

Ran into fellow cachers at this one, and we all worked together to make the find here. Geobuddy put us in the right vicinity, but Chwiliwr was the one to find the cache first. Is always great to catch up with others on my geocaching expeditions. TFTC

Had just arrived at this one and was deciding which was the right direction to head when we met Mistraluna and geobuddy. Went back to where Mistraluna had been whilst geobuddy went the other way. Should have followed geobuddy as it was the right direction to go. Cache was soon found and the log signed by all.

GZ had us in the middle of the road, not at the fountain. So that was a bit confusing until the log was consulted again. Geokids sent to the park to burn off youthful energy [^] Step one done easy enough but step two gave us a few choices. Last one came up trumps. Geowife overheard another cacher (Jusmop) waiting for us to leave and advised to wait while the cache was returned to the final GZ.

TFTC Mr Macca

Good easy one. Although the GPS coordinates are about 100m out!

Dropped the family off at the wildlife place and I set off to have a crack at the nearby caches. Couldnt get to line up GZ from the fountain as there were quite a few people in its near vicinity. Made an easy find none the less. Great concept though.

Cheers

Found this quite early before all the children were out and about. Liked this one alot! TFTC!

Found it with Lucy. Flies were horrendous!

Brain boggling

was just about to give up lol

Found this time. I realised there were two sets of steps!! Easy find once I got the right ones TFTH

An easy find once we got the direction right! Lots of muggles about.

good one

What a fantastic place to visit. We had fun climbing the rope net and enjoyed finding this cache. TFTC

Easy Find TFTC

Quick and easy - TFTH

It is always a worry when a cache starts near a playground, but fortunately, this one led us away to GZ.
Thanks, Robmc.

The playground was not in use here today and anyway the instructions take you quickly away from the action anyway. We were easily able to follow your instructions and were quickly rewarded with a cache find.
Thanks Mr Macca

Didn't find any of the McSwamp caches today This one had broken beer bottles and other things all around the area. I didn't poke around too much as there were few people around. Thanks for a nice trip out to the swamp though

Nice place, kids liked it. TFTC

tftc

was a fun find after I worked out the clues lol

A nice simple find, once I read the discription again

An easy find TFTC

An easy find TFTC

Lined up in the wrong direction at first but soon worked out the error of my ways. A good bit of fun

We scratched our heads for a short while but then it seems obvious. We lined things up and it took us where we wanted.
The swings are extensive.
We were thinking that this park would be a good place for an outside event and picnic.
It had BBQs and toilets and lots of room for a large group to sit and chat.
Bunbury has lots of quality parks we wish Perth had the same ratio.
Thanks for the cache

This is one of the best playgrounds I have seen. There are some excellent pieces of equipment that I would love to bring my grandchildren to play on. There are also two sets of spouts, one lot metal topped, the other black plastic - the information provided relates to the plastic topped ones. From there it should be an easy find. Thanks for a puzzle with a difference Mr Macca.

Found on a Bunbury caching day with urch. We faired much better today having looked at the previous logs after our DNF and realized we were looking in the wrong area. We scored a hint from some fellow cachers at the event this morning. When we got back to McSwamp we found 2 sets of spouts and we of course had used the wrong ones . Thanks for an interesting and different puzzle cache.

Loved this puzzle… thought it was great.
TFTH
Found with Maddmum

Pop up Pirates did a great job at solving the clues but after a race to the cache, I found it.
STL TFTH

helps if you read all the directions !!!

We didn't find this one.

Found it with friends, lovely park, lots of muggles around though. Easy find. TFTC

I LIKE!!! Not just follow the GPS! TFTC, SophieBol, The Klaas & El Campo

Loved the instruction! My friend found it very quickly. Tons of Muggles around. X

Pretty straightforward when you head in the right direction! Number 7 for the day. TFTH.

Clever cache t4th

A very clever cache. nice to find one without the GPS and relying on your senses.

If anyone finds a scout pocket knife can you please contact us. Many thanks 2+4

Found it

Almost missed this one. Too many muggles, but we took a break at the wildlife cafe and they soon left. TFTC.

Took us a while but after a bit of a rethink we got it. TFTH

mmm... lots happening all around, great for the kids. TFTC

A bit of a change of tactic. Thanks

Thank-you.
Logged as ktmsa.
We had so much fun with this one, and had to watch the muggles very carefully .

4th one for the morning after the dawn service.found with volKayno

went back twice
found it in the end

Found ok, but had to be very careful as their were council workers in the car park close by, had to be under the guise of sitting taking photos of geo-grandkids playing.

Quick grab on the lunch time walk.

Found this one with Melliemouse and English Rose. TFTC!

Found with Justoid and English Rose. Justoid had an incident with a tricky drinking fountain - so be warned (although it was pretty funny for English Rose and me). It's worth noting that there is quite a bit of earthworks going on, however the cache had not been disturbed. TFTC.

melliemouse

Oh yes, melliemouse and I couldn't help but laugh at justoid as he attempted to take a drink from a slightly dodgy drinking fountain. Melliemouse is right in warning future thirsty cachers Found te cache just as the workmen left the scene.

We were wandering around the playground and couldn't find the object we were looking for and about to turn back, hey there IS the spot far away. Got it allright. Thanks for the cache.

This is my 950th Cache (GC+GCA) - yay!
Found together with Varuna. We followed the directions in the description, but it still took us quite a while to find the right spot. It was quite a bit further away than we were expecting.
Thanks for the cache!

A nice straightforward find after not finding the last one
tftc

Good to get this one. Thanks Mr Macca

Found it easily with my friend Allie. Cheers!
