Scrap Art II Vasse, Western Australia, Australia

Unfortunately the whole feature has in fact been removed. Sad day for me as this was my very favourite sculpture in the Scrap Art series. It was a popular cache too with 197 finds so thanks to all those who visited this location.

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.

I have to go to Margaret River on Monday so will go past and check it out.

Lol I feel bad reporting this- was a shock to see it gone after all these years driving past! Ill look to see if the sculpture is in the scrap metal pile at the tip tomorrow- you might be able to retrieve the log at least

This is not just a cache missing, The whole art and cement block has been removed! Ive been looking for years trying to find the cache despite it becoming a premium cache. Finally became a premium member and went looking today but the whole lot is gone :O !!

Go grandma!! Arnup crew!! That's was tough!!!!

Arnup crew!!

Finally found the tricky bugger on my 3rd attempt. Must admit I had assistance from a PAF. But non the less it was good fun. Tftc

Had a reasonable search here but lost out. Will return with professional help....my Geowife.

Tftc found on our second visit to this one. 1st time the school was open so felt a bit weird hanging around. This time we had free reign but fortunately found it in 2 mins. Probably the only place we didn't look last time. Great hide.

tftc second time and got a smiley on this one was bit of a tricky hide lots of possible spots for it to be

Heading down to Margaret River for lunch we left home early to get some geos.
I was worried about this one as there was plenty of places for a cache hide. Surprisingly it didn't take too long before I made a find, replaced it and was back on the road
TFTC

Unfortunately a dnf here today. We will return.

Interesting feature for a cache, least it wasn't a nano I suppose, found after a close and methodical search. Thanks richlink for the cache.

Holy dooley, now that took some searching! Made for a satisfying find. Cool sculpture! Found with Minergal, RoxyAWorld & the geo

Not an easy find with so much to look at! I'm blue da ba dee da ba die...
Found with Fabulous Panda, Minergal and the Geo Pups!

Tricky cache on an interesting art piece. Found with the Fabulous Panda and RoxyAWorld. TFTC

Well that took a while! 4 Adults and 5 Kids all over the artwork and after an age we finally put our hand on it. A well earned lunch!

Thanks ricklink!

Wow that took awhile. I searched, researched and looked again. I wasn't going to give and finally my fingers won. TFTC

A find for Geomum after the geokids gave up to play in puddles! Great spot! TFTC!

Well a find here but not after we had to PAF not always sure if this is a correct way to find a cache.

TFTC. richlink

Thanks for the cache.

Took awhile. Glad it wasn't a school day.

Teamed up with wellsy21 to attempt to grab half of the WAGB Arrow caches. Before we got there, we found some other caches in the Busselton, Vasse and Carbunup River area first. This was the second cache of the day for us. wellsy21 had no luck last night in fading light so was determined to grab it today. After arriving to find a brilliant piece of scrap art we set to work and I came up with the cache here after about 10 minutes of methodical searching. TFTC richlink.

After attending the WA goes big event we headed out to start our second day of caching.

found with Overington clan and bec_was _ere

tftc

nearly had to dnf this cache tried twice yesterday one in the day then at night but the sprinkles were on & lack of light, headed out with Krabiboy this morning he had it with a couple of mins very frustration structure

Searched and search this huge piece of Art Work several times, finally resorted to PAF only to find the cache in the place I had been over several timesTalk about cache blindness. [:o)]
Great hide. TFTC Richlink.

Found with Mum & Dad (jasenjanine) ... TFTC

Down in Busselton for the Big Event, we spent the day finding a few of the puzzles we had solved plus a few others along the way

I am only just reading all the logs on this one & have found out how tricky this one can be? Sorry to those that have had trouble as I found this one in the first spot I looked I'm guessing there was a bit of luck involved lol!

TFTC richlink [^]

Persistent is the word of the day

Tftc

TFTC! Found whilst attending the WAGB Event in Busselton. I enjoyed an epic three days caching throughout the South West of WA.

All caches were found generally very well maintained by the local COs. Thanks

Loved the artwork. Special thanks to the CO who answered my SOS call here. Fav pt.

The only DNF of the weekend. So frustrating when everyone else found it.

We were looking for a loooooong time without any luck. Totally puzzled with this one. It would seem that the art work has fallen apart since it's golden days so to us there wasn't that many spots where it could have been, yet no cache for us today.

Did this with Heidiseeki last year. Just saw that I hadn't logged it. I remember we looked for about an hour then found it a little further in, in the first place we looked. Might have changed position now.

At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking year through the world. Most of the time I'll spend in Australia and I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge during this trip. The chance of having a moving home zone should be takes, as it will make the challenge so much easier.

Today after work I took my chance to get this one. Found the box, but the 'O' is missing..

TFTC and greetings from Germany

Tricky find, took us a while. Got there in the end. Don't give up

Small micro coin dropped.

Artwork is starting to fall apart too hard for us

Found on 25/10/14 where I met a few other cachers and joined in the search great to meet some other guys out and about! Tftc this was tricky and it's not thd first time I have searched!!

This is my second visit here. Came here a few months ago with no joy.

Middle geoson and I started our systematic search again and I made the find after a few minutes. Why didn't I see this last time ?
Signed the log and rehid.

richlink I found your cache Scrap Art II on 24/12/2014 5:58 pm. This is my find #2409 and find #4 today. The cache is in good shape. Thanks for the cache!

Thanks.

Nice cache there. This was the second attempt. Thanks for the help ZilVert. TFTC.

Yep, part of the artwork is missing but now fewer spots for cachers to search - its still there! Left new log book.

Another failed attempt think the art piece has been broken too

Very sneaky! Great find though. TFTC

TFTC bit of hunting and minty came up with the prize. Fave point well earned!

Awesome hide so much fun met another cacher bekster12 tftc

Great location and a sneaky hide.

What an evil hide Luckily I had dimor with me to send me in the right direction. The scrap art is a lot smaller than last time I visited, but fortunately the cache is safe. TFTC Richlink

Finally!

Thanks to R0gue for leaving a log sheet.

Woohoo!! Yeah! Happy Dance!!

I tried to find this one a few years ago, and poured over the artwork from almost every conceivable angle, but didn't find the cache. After studying the logs I was a bit clearer on what I was looking for, so this afternoon I was back for another shot at it.

Well, the caching gods were on my side today because I settled in for a long search, and managed to put my fingers on the cache in the first minute of my search!

The log sheet was totally full, so I added a piece of notepad paper from my car. Thanks for the hide richlink!

Wow, tricky tricky!! Found by muggle Nanna who now is a convert geocacher !!!

Was just about to give up, then we got it! I call it luck - that was tough.

We were kept busy here! Eventually found it! TFTC.

Found

Found at 1:06:00 PM.

My wife had a mission today. Get this cache. I had thought I had logged a DNF on it before but looking back it appears I didn't. Naughty me! Well I have had a look without succes ad I know I asked Mrs Richlink for a hint at an event, but I forgot what she said! Today we arrived and started a look. Before my son had even climbed onto the concrete I had the cache ni hand as it was exposed.

Whew that was easy! But I put it back properly when I left....


Thanks for the cache richlink

Cheers

I signed in the last spot on the log, it needs a new bag and the container is missing one of its securing pieces.

Cheers

Many attempts finally found it.

Great hide tftc.
Bumblebees4

We thought it may have been taken because it was such a sneaky spot!

Sneaky little bugger - but great fun, and great challenge
TFTC!!!!
Need to go outside school hours as you will need time ...

Started in Busselton, and worked up the coast as far as Capel doing the odd cache with BettyBoo3747. Dropped in on Moneybox, then made our way south again.
Another one only 600 meters away did you say? All thought of home disappeared under the pressure of one so close. Just one more then home!
What a great sign! Took me a bit to work out what it said, but then the search was on.
Nice hide.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 5985. A sunny Sunday to be enjoyed in Busselton and as far as Capel before heading south again. A total of 21 caches found today with Robmc.

We did have to detour in to find this last one for the afternoon. Very creative piece of scrap art and it took us a while to locate the sneaky hide. A nice one to finish the day on.

Thanks richlink

Loved this one TFTC

Wow that took a whilE!!!!!! Do not givE up on this onE!!!!!!!!
No pEn so took photo!

Had a weekend down in Busselton and the Muggle-Wife says to the geo-kids "Lets take Dad out caching".

I didnt need to be asked twice. Kit ready to go and off we went.
We hunted and hunted all 5 of us for a good 20 mnutes. No luck.

Will have to add to our list for the next trip south.

Three of us looked for 10 mins and were very excited about the path tag but there wasn't one
Log isn't signed after Joo & Eth dropped tag... Maybe whoever found it was so excited they were forgot ??
Thanks for cache Richlink. Awesome structure

What an awesome little school and I loved the art. Found on the school holidays so it was nice and quiet. It took a while but I got it in the end. Left behind a Pathtag for the next finder.

Early on a school holiday morning was the logical time for this one. Good to strain the brain. Tftc!

The hint about persistence is the key helped us... Very tricky but kids loved it.. Keep trying though it's not an easy find at all.. TFTC

Took a bit of hunting and head scratching but eventually came out on top! Great cache, thanks richlink!

This one was Heaps fun but of course i (geodaughter) found it thanks to earlier hints which helped out ALOT TFTC

Great hide! Fantastic sculpture!!!! We needed to look back at logs for clues!!! TFTH

Only after a blood sacrifice did we find this one! All good though, just a small flesh wound - please watch your head! There is no need to get too tangled up...thanks to the previous posts othErwise this would've gone as a DNF!! TFTC

Hurray, at last! (had a little hint from Moneybox )

GeoMum is on a roll of finds today! This one required cheating by peeping at a few others previous logs for done clues as it was stinking hot & we were tired after a big few days at a disco & being away exploring the SW again this w/end!!! We were on our way to Bunbury for the monster trucks & Crusty Demons:)
It's a great place to put a cache, very creative & a lovely piece of artwork. Another mans trash really is another mans treasure.
Thank you

A hard find. Well hidden.

Tricky! Our first find - so excited!

Yay I finally get a smiley for this one tho muggle partner did find it . He just managed as it was nearly out of reach but I was ready to see what tools we had in the car to help.

It was back at the CITO event in July when I overheard the CO giving a hint to another cache about where to find this one.
That hint proved very worthwhile when there are too many other places the cache could be on this structure


Find 20/24 and 2 DNF for todays effort.

TFTC

Fantastic hide richlink. My second attempt at this one, and a good while looking before finding it this time with Jaz and Casey. Cheers.

Great hide, very sneaky!

Persistence is the” key” for this one. Don't give up!! Brilliant cache beautiful piece of art. TFTC!!

Find #361. On an outing to play some archery and afterwards we found some caches!

After finding your nearby 'Take A Break - Vasse' cache we decided we could fit one more into the schedule as it was close by! This prove to be a fairly quick find! Nice location! Thanks again richlink for a great cache!

TFTC Richlink. This cache is great and worth of favourite points.

We were very lucky to get this cache as the container had been pushed out of reach and we had the tool to retrieve it. an interesting piece of art. Thanks richlink.

Nope, no luck for the 2 of us. We spent about 20 minutes searching, even searched away from the main feature, just in case it was a furphy.

Cheers

Bundy

We looked and looked but could not find. Had to leave after muggles asked for directions thinking we were locals (kids playing at school). Will be back.

With relief, FOUND. One tiny cache and a million possible hiding spots. Only one was correct and we got it. Wheeeeee !!

We looked for it the other night in the rain but gave up. Came back today and found in about 30 seconds! Tftc.

Yet another DNF from a previous visit down here finally crossed off the list and converted to a smilie. Thanks for the cache richlink.

Came here to do CITO but the kids are a clean and tidy bunch, a couple of pieces of paper aren't going to fill a bag

Attempted cache while here but no luck . Have since gotten a clue so will try again another day
Can tell wasn't really with it as didn't even realise the artwork make a word until moments ago (it's now 10.46pm) when looking at the pic.

Hopefully next with have this richlink cache off my list

Yes I am one of the many who grabbed this one during the event weekend!
Managed to collect without others coming or going close by for a change.
After a DNF yesterday I returned after quizzing a former finder to thankfully find it!
An awesome and interesting art piece giving a place just screaming for a hide! TFTC!

Certainly not an easy find, but a very clever hide TFTC

Great art and we found it! Well we did have help...there were a few other folks there climbing over it and one of the ladies was game enough to put her fingers where spiders live. TFTC

At Busselton for WA Goes Big in 2013 event. What else would you do at a caching event than find caches. We found em in Busselton. TFTH

Our first after the CITO . We were having trouble, so phoned a friend who set us on the right path. We were then joined by two more teams but clever Mr FWD spotted it by lying on his back. Tftc . Nice art.

Great hide, met fellow cachers Albany nomads! Funny how it takes 400kms away from home to meet people from home

A welcome sign and nice to help and meet some fellow cachers.
