Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, JGang, requesting additional time.
An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.
Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.
Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.
Alternatively:
* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.
In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by JGang and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.

Was hoping for a quick drive by. No luck, I would suggest a maintenance check as it appear a significant part of the bank has slipt possibly buring it. On holidays from SA traveling with Lidds and MissGoosey
Unsure, looked all along the cliff and under it. No clue where it has gone. Maybe washed along the river when it was up
I have been here before. And I say that with double meaning.
My car is back on the road so I looked for a more distant cache to find. Having logged a DNF on this cache, and seeing lots of finds since, I thought it right to try again.
The drive was nice, on roads that were very quiet. I parked where I parked before and headed for GZ.
The river has been up - there was a lot of mud all over the place.
I set about looking for the cache. The river may have flooded but the memories of my first hunt here came flooding back too. I seemed to look in all the same places with all the same results.
I expanded the search along the river and even higher on the bank.
I don’t know what I’m not seeing here, but I’ve been here before.

Never new this place was here, thanks for finding a new place and swimming hole for summer
Found by Team MICKS- Meme28, I C Nothing Cirrus_Wa, Kapelula and Sir Fancy are on the road again for another fun weekend of caching. All caches found easily and in good condition. Thank you for placing.
Who the heck is Heck, and why does he have this hole named after him. Curious. This cache was found quickly and easily once I worked out what level I should be on.
Final day of another great WAGB weekend away and we started slowly around Bunbury meeting up with everyone to say our farewells before finishing the pack and hitting the road for home.
I took the long way home checking out next years location and grabbing caches and labs along the way.
A couple more close to home and the day was over with 15 finds, 9 adventure labs & 0 DNF’s.
Thanks JGang for placing Hecks Hole for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 12:26 on 6/6/2022.
This is find number 5203 for me.

In Bunbury and Collie for WAGB2022! A massive weekend of caching and catching up with friends. A big thank you to all the COs that have placed caches for this weekend, as well as COs maintained by existing listings. You have made this weekend what it is! Apologies for the generic logs. Cheers JGang! 
Day 4 Of our WAGB22 adventures: A great start to the day- a scenic country drive although a bit bumpy along a 4WD track. Cito event in Collie. Several more caches found and lots of laughs . What a full day . Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining their caches for others to find , tftc
Day 4 of caching our way around Bunbury and surrounds for WAGB22. Ive enjoyed the variety of hides down here. Thank you to the COs for placing these caches out here for others to enjoy. Apologies for the generic logs.
Day 7 of WAGB22 Week, out to Collie around with some more infill through Bunbury and Dalyellup.
Today amassed 57 finds, 7 FTF’s and 1 DNF (fire had been through the area)
Thanks to all the CO for setting up and maintaining their hides. Sorry about the generic logs.

I was in Collie on a successful mission for a FTF elsewhere. I decided this cache as a second would do fine. Getting here was a little problematic. My car GPS reckons I can turn right onto this street; a road barrier opines otherwise.
At GZ I settle in for what should be a quick search. But not for me today. I looked here and there, farther over there, under this, and behind that. Twice I did all this and no cache could I find. For a D1 I’m thinking maybe not here.

Looked for about 20 minutes, was unable to locate, looked like someone had a party down here so they may have taken it
TFTC! Hubby made the find here, find 6 of 9 & an AdLab with no dnfs, a great day out caching!
We descended the wonky steps and were pleased to see the bench and table down there by the river, what a lovely location! TFTC!

We were able to plan a road trip to Collie for this weekend and mapped out a few unfound caches down Mandurah way, through Bunbury and some other back roads to fill in the day. This cache was o e we had on our to do list! Cheers and TFTC.

Found it and as from the other time I sent message it had been washed out of its hiding place.
I found it in the long grass and placed it back under ledge as close to the coordinates as I could needs to have some maintenance done and re placed to original spot , but is able to have the log signed. Tftc

Descended the wonky steps to be met by a rapidly flowing river. We were unable to get to GZ. We will probably be back on day.
TFTC first one for my Brother and Sister, Brother had his hands straight on it, he's got a knack for it.
Lovely spot, quick find. Thanks to the previous finders for tidying it all up! TFTC.
Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
Today we’re out with ebenie as well as 2+4 and a scramble down the stairs to loads of Geo trails leading nowhere but wow what a great spot! All sorts of silly fun with a repair kit so a nice new fresh log in a zip lock bag.
Thanks for the hide and JGang.

Caching in Collie with Two + Four and megawat60 and ebenie. Found eventually, I ran back for a fresh logstrip, a zippy, a TB and a PT. Thanks for the cache and the exercises.
Out and about with M4YB, Megawatt60 and Ebenie. With 4 teams hunting for this one meant we had found it fairly quickly. Log was extremely damp, a quick dash back to the car to the geo first aid kit to patch this one up. TFTC
Out and about today and I decided to check the map to see what was nearby.
I find myself with time to kill so I stopped by here for a find.
Decided to grab this while visiting the area for the non event at the pub.
Many thanks to JGang for placing and maintaining Hecks Hole. I found it, I signed it, and put it back as found.

Thanks so much to the geocaching community for keeping this going!

After trancing around Collie on foot caching this was a delightful spot to stop... see photo.
Mrs Riddell found the co Ord’s off about 8 m which made this very easy find harder than it should have been, finding it instantly after widening the search.
TFTC and the lovely secret location on the Collie River.
