The Kardy Cache Kardinya, Western Australia, Australia

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 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'm 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 30 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 month or so to keep everyone up to date.

I have been here more than what I've logged by the way and fully understand that hint but there cache isn't there.

With mistraluna on this one.... It's been way to long since someone found it and there are too many DNF's and it is also very dangerous to cachers safety...

Not logging a dnf here after reading previous logs. Think this one is long gone, and a risk to future cachers.

Hi everyone, I just checked up on sandsr's profile and his last visit was in June so maybe this cache might need to be archived???? I personally just am not going to replace as I don't know where the cache was meant to be and I don't want to be poking around in a bush with syringes in it...

Please check up.

A very late log. I forgot to do this 2 weeks ago. I think the owner should check on this one as it hasn't been found since June and this wasn't my first time looking. TFTH anyway!

Indeed they have changed the Sunday trading laws!! And yep, it was quite busy there this afternoon. Had a good look though, and found nothing but rubbish

Thought this would be a quick easy grab on the way home from work, and being a Sunday arvo, not many people around. Well this proved very elusive, heaps of rubbish and yep a used nappy! I'll have swing past and try again.

Had a good poke around but only found a used nappy and some other rubbish.

I'm pleased to be able to remove this one from my DNF list. Nicely hidden. SL. TFTH sandsr

I needed to phone a prior finder since I was having no luck finding anything except a whole lot of trash. Even then I struggled. Was relieved to be able to log the find since it's always difficult to find a time when I'm anywhere near this cache outside of shopping hours. Thanks for the cache sandsr.

Found this one on my way home from a fun day caching with Mr FelixII. A relatively easy find in the end. TFTC sandsr

I appreciate that you give a decent description of the cache....I just hadn't processed that this was a shopping centre....a very busy shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon; and the trolley bay really wasn't helping. I had to abandon my search, and will return in search of a quieter time so I can actually search for the cache.

We thought today would be an easy day to find this cache as the shops were closed, however this was not the case. The little thing was nowhere we looked!

Well after cycling all over Fremantle today with Tanzanite we were supposed to be heading home so Mrs Felix could get ready for work tonight.

We best just go on a little detour and pick up this one whilst we arent too far and hopefully far less muggles on a Sunday afternoon.

Well it took us quite a while to find the cache. But just as we were about to give up Mr Felix came up with the goods.

TFTC sandsr

[:(!] Went for a late afternoon of caching with Mrs GrumpyBump and one of the Owers Corner clan (geogranddaughter), arrived at GZ and we had the cache in hand in a matter of minutes. SL TFTC/TFTH

Ahhhh... my first cache for the day, and what an epic fail. The place was muggle infested so I'll have to go back another day to give it another crack.

Mrs Felix was on a frog hunt today (GCA), but decided to try her luck with a few other caches after only having 1/4 good fortune with the frogs!

Far too busy with Christmas shopping muggles to have a proper look today! Have to come back another time, after Christmas..

Did manage to pick up lunch at the kebab shop though.

Could not find this one for the life of me

Search all around and on a last ditched attempt had the cache in our hands, TFT long Hunt

Sunday night only the take away crowd to look out for TFTC

Too many muggles at mid-day on Saturday. Will be back at a quieter time. TFTH

There's a lot of rubbish around GZ. There is a pee scent too. Please give more clues.

There was a car-boot sale in full progress as we arrived but thankfully it was in an adjacent part of the carpark and we were shielded from the many muggles in attendance. After letting our GPS settle down, we were able to make a quick find. TFTC sandsr

GPS was having trouble zeroing in. We GUESS we were in the right spot but too many people around to keep looking -- and so much rubbish in and around the bushes that we could have looked at it and moved on. Will try again

nice hide found in the middle of peak on a saturday afternoon. really need to reconsider the container as the log book was completely ruined and something had made it its home.

Being a Sunday afternoon it was very quiet and we were able to park right next to gz. A quick find, however the cache is surprisingly soaking wet and needs attention.

Luckily it was night time for our Kardy find. Parked right next to GZ, and used the car to hide our activities from the Take-away crowd.
Thanks, Robmc.

One of 4 nearby caches done after dark on our way home from a day's caching up in the northern suburbs.
Parked in the prime position here and soon made the find.
Thanks

Quick find on my second attempt. plenty of muggles around but nobody took any notice of me with my "can't see me" (reflective yellow) jacket on Log was damp but I could still write on it.
TFTC

The log is still soggy and need replacing urgently. Thanks sandsr.

I eventually found this one with a little help from Lizzar. The log is a bit soggy and probably need replacing. The container doesn't appear all that watertight and it looks like the recent rain we had has managed to get in.
TFTC

Last time I found this cache I was under the impression that the original was missing and so I searched for and found the replacement cache left by TeamAstro. Since then the cache owner has confirmed that the original is still in place, so whil I was driving past today I stopped in and found it quickly in the first place I looked, and signed the logsheet.

Thanks for the cache sandsr!

Great spot, nearly missed it! TFTC.

I found the cache Freddo and Astro left as a replacement. Seems to have a fair few names on it now. But by the sounds of it there may be two cache here now?!? TFTC

Did this in the after noon no one around TFTH

Found this one on our way from a nice Shopping Center. TFTC

Original cache is still where it's supposed to be. I couldn't see the rebel cache to remove it though.

Stopped in here after a day out at Adventure World, and made a quick and easy find. Parked right next to the cache location, and the cache was visible out in the open, so I covered it up with a few rocks. This is the same cache that Me&B and thompson_clan found, which is the replacement put here by TeamAstro and Freddo as shown in the photo they put in with their log, and contains the spirax notebook page added by How Do They Know?

Thanks to all the SA cachers who have done maintenance on this cache lately, and thanks for sandsr for putting the cache out

Pretended to be checking my tyres and pretty sure I found and signed the real thing. TFTC!

well thompson clan, we both signed something wrong apparently lol

Well I signed whatever me&b signed.

I think I found it?! "A" container was lying on the ground in full view, I had no idea where it was supposed to be so I just put it back with a bit of camouflage....will email owner.

TFTH

spent about 20minutes seeking this cache but although we looked under and around (as far as we could reach) we came away smileyless

TFTH

Started off the morning with a little cachin' and made a nice easy find.
TFTC

Quick find in a very busy location. I added another sheet of paper (a page from a spirax notebook) because the minilog is full. Looks like we SA cachers are busy maintaining some WA caches! TFTC sandsr.

This one took us alot longer than it should have but we did get there eventually, May need a proper log book soon as the piece in there is only very small. TFTC

first cache for the new year nice and easy to find.

A nice easy fine yesterday afternoon after the shops had closed. Funny that it was fixed up by one of my good caching buddies from when I used to live in Adelaide. Thanks Freddo and sandsr.

For your convenience, we replaced the cache. Also for your convenience, I snapped a shot of the frog with the cache in hand. Clear skies.

No caches to be seen so we replaced the cache under a piece of bitumen.

This was our second attempt at finidng this cache and yet again we weren't successful.

didnt look for too long as we came across a SYRINGE in the garden. Take care when looking for this one.

After being at the kardinya tavern for my 30th a few friends decided to have crack at this cache. they rang us and said don't bother there was PICKS in the bush
(picks is drug speak for needles) WE NEARLY TOOK OUR NIECE TO LOOK FOR It.

Please go and have look at your cache it sounds like to me that it is not geo-friendly,it's not your fault the humans are disgusting pigs cause they are.
I would like to come back and have a look for your cache. Its a bad thing that humans can't deposes of rubbish in a proper manor.
Mind you though needles have been in the back of my mind( and should be in the back of every cachers mind) since I saw used condoms whilst looking for piney lakes reserve geocache that was disgusting too.
Happy caching to the owner and once again its not there fault that people are pigs. No one puts out a cache thinking that this will happen. At least people are still keen to have a look.

I suggest a move to a better location May be the back of the shops. in the lane way ???

Yuck Not my cup of tea but luckily it was after lunch and I may claim a FIND for the yummy sushi shop

Much too much rubbish to contemplate grovelling amongst it for the cache, sorry!

Unlucky today. How much rubbish is there in one bush. Found a diaper. Eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!

Pushbiked past on Sat morning about 0900 - er...na I don't think so..

Be back when the whole of WA isn't out shopping in Kardinya.

Found with MTKEus...needed the hint to find this one..at first thought teddy bear might have been cache...but quickly discounted this and had real cache in hand soon after...thanks sandsr

# 675
On our bike tour this morning MickeyDV and myself stopped here and had a short rest at gz. After 10 minutes of search Mick found the container.
However, full of muggles no one really was interested what we were doing there.
TFTC and cheers from Germany.
MTKEus

Hmmm... Gets busy here!!

thanks for the hunt

I was hoping for a first to find, but we were beating by about an hour.

It was raining so we had to sign the log in the car.

I went to the spot first (where I thought it would be) but the the iphone lead burdboys away... but we came back to this spot to have another look. We found a big fox "teddy bear" too.

Well done on hiding your first cache!

TFTC

I got home from work and noticed this recent cache launch. My first thought was that Chwiliwr would have got it by now, but there was always hope.

Kooksta went straight to the cache but I lead him away ...

Well done with the cache and keep them coming!

Big thanks!

Found it! Well, actually Mjayrippa found it.
Thanks for the hunt. - Definitely one for when the shops are closed, unless you can get a park right next to it and use your car as cover.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 32° 04.105 E 115° 48.983
Distance From Old: 28.2 feet or 8.6 meters.
tweaked the coordinates

I think you need to adjust the coordinates so that they are closer to the actual GZ. The spot currently showing on the sattelite image is very close to where my GZ was on both GPS units. Unfortunately I cannot give one as I didn't have either unit with when I found the cache.

Published

I didn't notice this cache had been published until some time after the fact but I went anyway. I arrived during one of those cold showers so stayed in the car until after it had finished. The GPS had settled down on a spot behind the car in the middle of the throughway between the parking spots so I ignored it and decided to try at a more logical spot nearby. A couple of showers and muggles later I finally found the cache and the blank log so was *FTF*.

Thanks for the cache.
