I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore the cache or communication from the cache owner pop up pirates requesting additional time, within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note, and it appears that the cache has been abandoned.

###Cache Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO.
The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 4 weeks to see if either
- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken
**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

Unfortunately did not find. We live just down the road and didn’t even know about it 
Hi there pop up pirates.
This is the 4th of 4 caches we didn't find today.
[:(!]
We spent quite some time here but we just couldn't locate your cache, so here's a DNF from us.
Regards
Ian and Penny

Found it! Left a Canadian trackable... please take with to its next destination... it wants to find a new home... thanks
Found it! Our first geocache, thank you so much for putting one in pleasant grove. We left a Batman
Went for a bike ride today and found a couple of caches while we out enjoying ourselves. Got off the bikes and started looking around, found the cache and signed the log. TFTC
Just me and Baby in the pram today. Took nothing. Left superhero stickers. No muggles around but there was a pink and grey galah perched in a tree that watched our every move suspiciously...
We took a trip down memory lane while visiting this cache as we used to live over the road in Falcon around 22 years ago, Pleasant Grove was in its' infancy back then.
Some things never change though, especially those nasty mozzies - memories came flooding back as they swarmed us while we searched for the cache. Made us very determined to make the find, sign the log and get out quick - exactly what we did. Despite this we really did enjoy our visit.
Thanks pop up pirates.

Had a huge day off planned with Cravo10, so decided we should head down South of Mandurah to cleanup some new series of caches that have been published and clean up the caches on the journey between Mandurah and Bunbury so that we can have a caching trip to Bunbury soon that doesn't involve too many stops on the way down so that we can actually cache out Bunbury and Busselton in the coming months.
Our first stop was the John Tognela walk trail caches, which included one archived cache found in great condition, lovely walk and special thanks to webbly wa for replacing the first one that was clearly lost in the fires.
We then tried for the ponder this series by Jinta29, which was going to give us some huge amounts of months unloved, found 8 of the 9 in the series, with a DNF on number one which gives us 48 months of unloved.
We cleaned up the OOH YEHs heading south caches on the way down which were all nice quick finds with good co ords. I wonder how far this series will end up going? Hopefully all the way to Bunbury
We then headed to grab the new yalgorup five caches that were recently placed, all found in good order and were in such a lovely area that I'd love to explore more, hopefully you can place a few more caches in this series and we can come back and spend more time exploring the area.
We then continued back towards Mandurah caching up a storm grabbing everything along the way that we could, including trying for some archived caches that are long gone, so we weren't all that successful on that front. We found a good variety of caches today and was good to finally make another huge dent in the Mandurah caches so we won't need too many caching runs down here to keep the area clean
Thanks to the local COs for their hides and we can't wait to come back to the area, we had a great day. Thanks

Out for a big day caching to start off the new year and try to beat our record for most finds in a day! We managed to beat our record and only had 4 DNF's for the whole day, go us. Had a great time exploring this area. TFTC SL
TFTC took a while as coordinates were out a bit. Not sure we would have found if not for the clue. TSLS
Out for a morning ride with geo son, before packing up and heading home.
Nice quick find made here with spot on coordinates

Originally found under family caching name clan-wallace, now re logging under own name.
Our GPS was about 11 metres out today but we found it anyway. Left a magic wand. There are some lovely houses on fantastic blocks around here, which is an area we have not visited previously. TFTC
Think this has gone missing. Checked the only stump and there was an obvious place for a cache but it was empty. Co-ords were not accurate. Suggest it needs checking again.
Looked all around near the coordinates and couldn't find it. Be back for it another day. 
Been back twice and finally found this one. My coordinates were very off. Loved this find. TFTC. Left some goodies
The hint is not quite accurate at the moment, as the stump is in plain sight - the srrounding blackboys have been given a recent haircut! However, we made sure the cache was well hidden. TFTC.
We were heading to gz and still had about 9m to go when I looked down and spotted the container 
. We removed a bottle of nail polish from the cache too 
pop up pirates - jinta29 found your cache Harold Basset-Scarfe on 27/06/2015 9:36 am. This is my find #3366 and find #5 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Thanks for the cache and to the person who re established it with a lovely log book too. Disappointed that there where no macadamias left
Out on a Sunday cache run with Itskate. On a mission to find 50 geo's in a day. TFTH
Dragged muggle partner up this way to be my driver and helper while I add some more smileys to my total
As we had lots more caches still to find in the warm weather we gave this one a good shot at but still no luck.
1/3 dnf
but managed 20

Interesting little park and good find while waiting for kids to finish sport.
[:(!] Did a three day caching run to Mandurah with geowife to incorporate the event being held there "J & J Say G'Day to WA - (GC47DF1)", and picked up a few caches along the way and this was one of them, we are on our way back to Perth, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ we had the cache in hand within a couple of mniutes.

Stopped by this one while making our way slowly home today, and really should have read some previous logs first . I spent a while longer than i should have here, as it seems i didn't approach from the right direction. The treasure was eventually found around 11 or 12m away, so added our name to the log before taking note of the co-ords that worked for me on the day. TFTC pop up pirates
