MFCPMTM # 9 Balcatta, Western Australia, Australia
By blingg on 02-Nov-10. Waypoint GC2HHTF

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, blingg, 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 blingg 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.
Thank you

Did not find it

I think someone took it, sadly

Was right at coords as others in log noted but no cache sadly

Didn't find

i think someone took it

Nicely hidden this one TFTC

Why on earth aren't the dual access path lights on at night! The darkness made for a very creepy hunt in this area.

TFTC

Cool spot. Found the cache on the ground but still hidden. TFTC

Had a little walk to get to this one as the bike is out of action! As the previous log said .. the co ords are spot on and I chose to use a stick too... TFTC

Was worried about snakes so used a stick to poke around, trust the coordinates, thanks

sneaky

Clever hide. Tftc.

Rusty old thing very small weakish magnet but found it after a while was lookin in the wrong place

Found it with clues. no pencil in there so byo pen if you want to sign the log.

Great spot!

Quite hot these days so got this one at night while walking the dog. TFTC

Found by BIL who had only been caching since this arvo! Need to get them an account now! Tftc

TFTC! Thank you also to Lyn Pat and Nathan for the photo. I was with two tired but insistent children so was relieved to find the cache.

Nice walk in the sunshine. Quick find. Tftc.

Sneaky off the track a bit

The magnet was a bit weak but I manged to get it back in position after finding it at ground level.
Coordinates were good enough for the task.
A lively b walk from a back road to here even if there were a lot of over far bikes during the morning rush.
Thanks.

Another NOR trip. First of the day
TFTC

Out enjoying the weather on this beautiful day and to collect a few smilies, happy to say we came up trumps here TFTC

Cool spot, nice path.

Nice location. Quick and easy in and out.

My first! Didn't know what to expect.

Watch for spiders!

Had to look at the clues for this one!

Found it after a bit of tooling around. TFTH

It's been a while since Cravo and I have had a full Thursday feee for caching, with the stars aligning today we met at Cockburn gateways with a clear plan to head North of the river.

We started near Woodlands and ventured from there heading north and staying between the coastline and the freeway. Managed to make our way all the way upto Reid highway near Duncraig and we can start from there and move further up on our next caching run north.

Thanks to the local COs for a great day.

Out NOR with Barnzy12 again today. It has been the month for getting caches in this area as we rarely come up this way apart from me now everyday for work. A late start and early finish to what is a usual Thursday adventure due to the want and need to avoid traffic congestion



blingg I found your cache MFCPMTM # 9 thanks for placing this hide and bringing me to this area.

Had a nice cycle trip with The-Shredder from our place towards Joondalup. Thanks a lot for placing all these nice caches along the way up north.
TFTC Skyryser

Skyryser and I searched quite a while. After checking previous logs we found it. Magnet is not working anymore so the cache is lying on the floor. TFTC The-Shredder

TFTH blingg was just round the corner looking for another cache when I noticed this was fairly close by so decided to walk around here. Quick find at GZ, LS and a walk back to the car.

Tftc blingg a very very quick find in the first place i looked. Ned kelly would have been proud of you lol

Looking for ever still no find, maybe been moved.

tftc

TFTC a nice quick find

Cool hide. TFTC

Quick find, tftc

The old ned Kelly hiding spot

blingg, I found your cache MFCPMTM # 9 dry and healthy . SL and replaced cache as found. Thank you for taking me here and TFTH.

A quick find here this morning after a brief detour on my way to work. From the previous logs, I had a good idea of what I was looking for and I had brought a pair of gloves with me. All is good with the cache, thank you blingg.

Took awhile to find thanks to a hint off another cacher I managed to locate it with ease! I'm clearly pretty rusty tftc!

Found! Hard to spot!

Found it. TFTC blingg

Visiting nearby, and as we left we spotted this one on the map. Brisk walk down the bike path and cache was soon located. Interestingly, we found number 1 this morning. TFTC

Well hidden.

Found it.
Beware of snakes, lots of dry leaves.
Didn't have pen on me.
Tftc

Thank you! Quick find on a lovely evening. Was a nice walk down from the nearest train station.

Not easy top spot

Cool hide! Great camo! Think old metal and rusty! TFTC Blingg

Awesome

Nice hinding spot. Kids are good at findi g tricky ones

Replaced damaged cache

Our first time Geocaching and success
Definitely new container needed, unfortunately we forgot a pen!

Definately needs a new container

We forgot our pen

Found

Not where I expected being the cycle path series. Had to read the logs to believe where GZ was. TFTC

TNLN

A rather unusual spot for a cache, but find nonetheless. TFTC

A little tricky here...TFTC

Found with help from the blogs

Yay- easy find.. Container is a bit squashed.. Maybe needs to be replaced as is difficult to retrieve log book.

Magnetic mint tin great hide

Clunk!

Needed the logs to find it. Could use a new tin

Thanks to previous logs I found this cache straight away.

Our Australia Day Geocache event started on the walk to this spot, luckily for me my Geo friend had in in hand after a bit of mucking around on the hill. Thank you blingg

A pleasant walk on this breezy not-too-hot Australia day. I gingerly approached GZ, wearing geoglove and soon made the find. The MT has been a bit dented by its cover, but alls well. TFTC blingg!

Picked up Mistraluna at Stirling Train Station, for a day of caching in the area.
We covered a lot of ground, visited many parks and a couple of shopping centers.
Found a good variety of hides, in good condition.
Thanks for the cache, blingg.

Teamed up with The Drovers today and headed up this way to try our luck. Quick find here too. Thanks blingg

Thought it would be a good idea to cycle and see what it's all about...happy to report it's very enjoyable. Rode from woodlands to Hepburn and return. Left at 5am and got back at 8.
This was the first cache we grabbed
Thanks blinh

If it weren't for previous logs I would have had no chance. TFTC

Grrrr, spent much more time here than we should have. Found it in the end... TFTH

Found @ 19:13!

Find #14 on an impromptu caching run after visiting a friend in Scarborough. Caught two buses to get there, but decide to walk back and find a few caches on the way!

Reached the listed coordinates and stumbled around a bit in the dark before eventually discovering the likely hide!

Cache was the first place I looked once I got there, although it is a bit rusty and the magnets (if that's what they are) no longer seem to work...

Recommend doing this one during daylight hours!

TFTC!

Found after about 5-10 min jumped on a piece of rusty metal and heard a klunk! That was the geo....thanks still in good condition

No problems finding this one after taking the stroll up the hill. TFTC blingg

Great to do some surfing this far from the ocean

Got on the Geo-bike with Geo-grandad for a little treck today! Was heading past this one so took a little break up the hill, but couldn't find the prize. We searched for a decent time, with out the help of GPS which was jumping all over the place, looking in all the good looking hiding spots, but to no avail. Met a BIG, not so friendly spider too...

An easy find but only because we'd seen another similar 'natural' piece of flora and fauna recently. LOL. TFTC

Where is it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great easy find while out with the vents for a day of geobiking

Easy find up a small hill

On our way home from a day out, we decided to take a little tour before returning to our daughter's house to make a quick find for the day. We parked the car nearby and strolled along the path, eventually arriving at ground zero. The cache was found easily and all seemed good. Thanks for the cache blingg.

Not too sure i like the idea of attaching our caches to rubbish...just saying.

Found and logged at 9:30,
13 caches for the day, While sightseeing in Perth on my home from Darwin via the west coast
Found the cache andlogg full of ants
Thanks dlingg

Found this one very exposed, have hidden a little better. Due to the exposure log is quite damp.
TFTC.

Last one for the morning - and this had me scratching around for a while. Nearly ready to walk off empty handed when one last effort and I had the cache in hand. Log is soaked from recent rains and I wasn't able to write anything legible - sorry.

easy find to finnish off the series still havent found number 5 will try it later TFTC

Out for a brief ride testing the modifications made to my deadly treadly. Thought I was grab a couple of caches along the freeway as I made my way north.

Another nice find, I have to confess I'm curious to know how you discovered that there were metallic items at GZ...

TFTC blingg

Found it with senior gc Grumpybump on a bike ride.

[:(!] Meet up with Aksay.in for an afternoon of caching on our geobikes, arrived at GZ and within a couple of minutes we had the cache in hand. SLTNLN TFTC/TFTH

Mr Felix is working on a super urgent work project at home away from the work phones and the callers saying, " Is it Finished yet! "

So of course Mrs Felix was fed up with tiptoeing around the house attempting to be quiet! Never mind all the household jobs she had to do, but of course house work isn't silent (vaccumming, washing etc)

So when banished from the house what would you do? Geo Bike loaded onto the Geo Cruiser and off to tackle some nearby multi's that have been on the todo list since we began this crazy game some 14months ago!

In the area here to do the WanderingAus multi but realised this was in striking reach of the GeoBike too.

Nice quick find in obvious spot. Was a bit surprised on the bike ride back to the car and heading for the nearby multi to come across a vehicle heading down the path! Luckily they pulled off as far as they could so I could just pedal on by!!!!!

TFTC blingg

Tricky, fun hide! Nice effort Blingg. We enjoy your caches. TFTC

Could'nt find it. Looked every where

A quick find with help ethanolshaunbasheep.
