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.

We too only found the magnet (which was obviously from a magnetic key case), before reading the logs & realising this one was missing! This one needs to be disabled to save others from searching for something that isn't there Sad

Thanks for showing us this interesting spot shenbot Smile

Couldn't find but found magnet on ground

Couldn't find this one. Didn't help with too many muggles about. Was bending down at one stage and found myself being sniffed by a dog. Will try again next time when not so many muggles about.
 
29-Dec-13
Couldn't find anywhere. More tips?
 
07-Dec-13
GPS took awhile to settle and the dog near the cache kept barking alerting the owner that we have geo cachers around. The pressure was on to find it quickly which didn't happen quick enough..LOL..TFTC

Nice one, easy find and people everywhere walking their dogs. Sat on block with Garmin looking like a mobile phone and no one would have known I was filling out log.

Thank you for getting us around to look at the area, went for a walk up the track for a bit (just 'cause I could)

Made a second attempt after a failed night hunt with HopeFamilySeekers. Took my crew along this time and, big surprise, Mrs Mog went straight to it. Mini-Mog had a great time exploring the station and barking back at all the local dogs. Great spot.

Driving to Midvale for a swim, grabbed some caches along the way. No trains came along while I was there.

Thanks shenbot.

Took a few minutes as I managed to hunt all the possible locations before finally finding the cache in a pretty obvious spot .. I should be getting quicker at this Smile

We were in the area today, checking in with the local Caravan Dealer about our much longed for Caravan.

Knowing we had to find a cache today to fill in our geo calendar, we discovered this one was nice and handy.

Quickly found by Mr Felix, the log is just loose pieces of paper and we nearly lost them everywhere. Glad it wasn't windy today.

2 mountain bike riders came past as we returned to the car. Certainly is an interesting spot.

Nice little spot ! TFTC

Random little spot for a sculpture. Once GPS settled on me being in the same suburb as the cache it was pretty easy to find Smile

TFTC!

Found with richlink. The boys were going to make a quick grab but we had to send in Mrs richlink to sort them out. TFTH.
 
02-Jan-12
We found the original cache placed nearby a couple of years ago and decided to seek out the replacement micro cache in its new co-ordinates while riding our bikes in the area.

After some GPS confusion, we decided to look in the most obvious place, and kiddo was very excited to make our first find for the new year at around 6:35pm! Big Grin

For me it's the journey not the destination so riding along the heritage trail the was a nice quick stop; just the way it should be. Woohoo for my 250th find. Thanks for the cache shenbot.

great spot

TFTF. Not sure about the sculptures though ?
 
11-Sep-11
The area has retained an atmosphere of a suburban railway line - the platform and the line of the track can still be envisaged. It took us a number of minutes before we located this cache as the coordinates were about 7m out by our GPS. TFTC shenbot
 
04-Sep-11
No luck here today, thought it was going to be an easy find, but no luck - we will return!!

Found this cache second time around. Did look in this spot last time, but here it is this time. TFTC.

nice hide found in the dark

I like these caches that draw you to local pieces of history and art.
This one combined them both.

Many thanks.

Stopped to do this one on the way home after riding the Kep Track. Closest I came to stacking all day, riding one handed, braking, downhill, on gravel!! Nice spot, and I recommend everyone rides the Railway Reserve Heritage Trail. It's a bit slow getting to Mundaring, but that's because you're just loading gravities slingshot, and you fly back down!

4th for today. Interesting spot. Found the cache without trouble.

Thanks for the cache.
 
03-Apr-11
1st cache of the day on our way to York. GPS had us fairly close. Easy find. TFTC.
 
30-Mar-11
Yes....remember it is a micro. The GPS had us wandering in a 10m area. We are not sure if it was just a bad day for signals or if it was some other factor.
We looked in the trees but its not there so we looked in more logical places and found it about 300mm from the gound.
Dont overthink this one its not hard to find but dont trust your GPS except to get you within 10m.
We have often though of riding the circuit on our bikes but we think it would be best to have two cars and do a downhill run from Mundaring to this area for the pickup.
Thanks for the cache.
 
19-Mar-11
Fun! Love finding sculptures like these, didn't even know they were here. Agree with the person below who said knowing it's a micro helped. Only a few metres off GZ.
 
12-Mar-11
No luck with this cache, checked all around the area, may have to re-visit this site after thinking about it a bit more.
 
12-Mar-11
Hmm.....GPS was in an open area. Sat and thought about it but no luck. Will watch this and look again when someone else finds it Smile
 
16-Feb-11
remebering that this one is a micro made for a easy find Wink

second visit and after about 15mins I thought i was going to be logging DNF Red Face lucky for me the ten YO eyes work better than mine. Big Grin TFTC SL.
