unsure status of cache

Time for bed

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Mounting DNF, CO needs to check this one.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

We had a good look at the indicated GZ. We also checked out previous logs. The listing is confusing... Is it at listed coordinates?
If you require the other caches it's not possible to find. They no longer exist.
If it was on the pole... Nothing there.. Same for the trees nearby...
That what happens when you look for old caches. We often didn't find this model.

Not sure about this one. Having no lead in caches it seems like it is not in the spirit of caching. Just turning up and wondering aimlessly without a GZ.
I had a go and wandered about like a lost soul without luck.
I think if this is to remain it needs to be changed to a traditional with updated co-ords.

No luck finding this one

Looked at this cache some time ago and noted the two caches needed for gz are now archived but going on the recent activity and reading the logs decided to give this one a go whilst in the area. Cache I am happy to say was found quickly after finding the obvious host. Cache is in good condition. Tftc

B12 and i at it again collecting caches TFTH

After completing a bunch of caches in LGA territory with OOH YEH and Cravo10, we had a small rest and decided we could slip in another couple of hours caching before the sun goes down!!

Managed to snag a bunch of finds whilst also checking out construction of my house in forrestfield. So naturally targeted the areas around forrestfield which are now becoming more sparse for caches!

Thanks for a nice evening of caching, all were quick finds. Thanks

Puzzle cache #50 for us! As other cachers had done prior, we drove to gz then expanded our search area until we spotted the cache. We have found (and own) a few like this in Sydney. TFTC

Had looked at this previously and seen that the feeder caches were archived. Today though, while in the area, saw that the cache was still findable despite this. Turned up to have a crack with low expectations, but it was surprising easy to find. TFTC Teamaustralia.

I made the most of the pleasant weather today to get out and about to find a few caches around Perth while on a holiday from SA.

I noted this puzzle had two precursor caches, but these had been archived. Reading the logs I also noted that you could go to the listed coordinates and look around as the cache can be found nearby. So I thought I'd give it a go.

The listed cache size gave me some idea of what I might be looking for, but even so it still took me a while to actually locate this one as it had blended in to its environment very well, perhaps by time or perhaps by design. Either way it was very good.

Thanks Teamaustralia for the cache.

A long long time ago, I had noted on this cache that we could pick this one up without the feeder caches... Knowing that we would be in the area, today was the day that we would stop for a look

Jase headed over to the obvious spot & hunted around for a little bit before discovering the well blended camo

TFTC Teamaustralia [^] Cache was in good condition.

Out bike riding with geo-bud hhheddy, who was familiar with the history for this one, and so began search at approximate GZ. Love the cache! (pity I'm currently out of Fav points)

Out for a bike ride around Rossmoyne to find a few caches. Having read the description and previous logs we thought we would give it a go. Arrived at the duly posted coordinates and had a quick look around. Inspected the most obvious object and missed the cache, so looked further afield, still no joy. Reread the logs and headed back to the first object where upon I spotted the almost straight away. Very nice hide teamaustralia.

THe feeders may be archived but as others have said just head on over to the posted co-ords and look for an obvious hiding spot. Put your cachers thinking hat on and Bingo you will find it. This is one of the more natural camos of this type. TFTC teamaustralia

We had not found the archived feeder caches. So just turned up & found it anyway. TFTC

Out with my mom ooh yeh caching for the day, spotted the cache straight away from the car. Tftc

Headed out with the geodaughter Redlipsandunicorns and her muggle partner to grab a few caches this morning. I had already found the other 2 caches that were required ages ago but for some reason I never came to get this one. Today as we were close by we stopped to grab it. Parked up very close and spotted the cache from the car. TFTC teamaustralia

The blue question mark so close to home was frustrating us. So despite having found neither of the pre requisite caches we read and re read the logs and decided to have a go at finding the cache. We pulled up at GZ and joked about whether we were parked where Granett had parked when he spotted something in his rear view mirror. Well, we looked in the rear view mirror and thought surely not but just maybe. Headed over to investigate further and lo and behold there it was. So happy to have turned this yellow and with such a minimum of fuss lol.

TFTC Teamaustralia this is find # 1751 for us

Well I was back here to avenge a DNF from some time ago and after a bit of a look around I was able to spot the likely hiding place . A quick check and yep, sure enough I was able to sign the book . TFTC

Came by yesterday and was unsure about coords so went home to check as we had not found either of the prerequisite caches. Came back this afternoon after loading up the possible coord range and still had the gps taking us to the same spot. Thats when we noticed something which would fit the bill and had a quick find. Cache blends in so well and is so appropriate. Tftc.

Been meaning to have a go at this one for a while, I too hadn't found any of the prerequisite caches so thought it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. The log from inspicio twigged my interest when it was posted and then lately I noticed a couple of recent finds so put it on the to-do list.

Had the chance this arvo to scope out the area. Parked up nearby and started reading through some of the logs. A 'Found It' log from 2012 caused my eyes to widen and I looked in my rear vision mirror and thought surely not!. Jumped out and investigated the object and soon uncovered the clever hide.

Found a few like this in my time but this one is the best so far I reckon. Awarding a favourite for the clever concealment that has obviously lasted the test of time.

Go ahead my fellow geocachers, give it a go, it's not that hard.

teamaustralia I found your cache at 4:36pm, this was the 1st of 2 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3455. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Ha. Thought I'd give this one a go. Also not having found any of the "prerequisites". Have not seen a cache hidden in this way for a while so it threw me. Searched the obvious areas first and I was sitting down looking around when I saw it... right in front of me.... Wait a second.. Ha!! Gotcha!!

Despite not having found the two required caches, I did find this cache. The Reviewer (inspicio) is correct. It can be found using available information and I did find it. There is a limited number of possibilities for where the cache can be hidden and I calculated the general area where it must be. I found it in the first location I went to, having already decided where it would probably be located. Previous finders had signed the log container but as I had a spare waterproof container with me, and a log sheet, I put in a new log sheet and became the first to find the cache and sign the log in nearly two years. Obviously teamaustralia is no longer in the game so not much point in thanking them for the cache (but thanks anyway).

No luck for me today. I had found one of the prelim caches previously and decided to see if I could force this final . There is only a limited amount of objects to search at my GZ but I still couldn't come up with the goods

Of the 2 caches required to enable you to locate this one 1 has been temporarily disabled & the other archived hence making it impossible to get the clues for this one. So regretably unless the others are fixed I guess this one will have to go too.

Thought I would focus my hunt around picking up some puzzle caches that had been sitting in the solved pile for a while. Headed northwards and started the day in the Manning area. Then headed down grab a few puzzles around here. Happy to make a quick find and claim my smiley. Thanks teamaustralia

Found the required caches such a long time ago so it's great to finally log this cache. Thanks teamaustralia.

Hmmm, took me longer than expected to finish this series but thanks to the CO's help, I made the find. Nice to be back in our old neighbourhood again. Tricky hide too and I would never have thought to look THERE.

Finally found this one and it really helped to have the correct coords. It was great to be in the neighbourhood again although I don't remember much about when we lived here.

Really tricky. A bit of a sticky situation!

Some time back I found the prerequisites caches and as I was in the area I came for a look. After looking and looking I finally found the cache.

Thanks Teamaustralia.

Extracted the necessary info from the required caches and made my way to GZ. After the initial unsuccessful poke about in the likely spot rechecked my maths - and yes, even simple maths like this trips me up - had done a + instead of a -!! Then it was a quick find.
Thanks for a nice mini series teamaustralia.

Quick easy find , I could see it from 30-40m away, unfortunately there is no log book attached, so I signed the back of it
TFTC

I have been pondering this one for about a year, decided to swing by on my night ride. The landscape had slightly changed, I rechecked the info I had and had it in seconds. I can't believe I missed it last time, It would have been early in my cache journey but surely I had at least pondered hides like these! Good one! No log, signed back. TFTC

So after completing Part 1 & 2 DanielJ69 and I came to get this cache. I really hate puzzle caches as I use a free GPS app (which is always off by a long shot) to find them where as traditional are all on the geocaching app which is always as accurate as the cache owners coordinates. So we turned up at GZ. I skinny, smooth tree. After searching for 3 minutes I got a call from mum telling me to come back. But as we were on skateboards we had to go to the road. Just as we were waking to the road I started to check everything I went past and then as I was checking something I saw the cache. I've seen many like this lately. TFTC teamaustralia

brilliant cache hiding spot. thanks teamaustralia

Unbelieveable ! We have been stewing over this one since June last year. It is our nearest to home not found. It just shows we were not adventurous enough even though we knew we had permission. Have to admit we got help here from a cacher at the WWFM IX event!

My 3rd DNF for the afternoon. I will be back. TFTH teamasutralia

Out with MCFONZ and The Machman targeting recently solved puzzles some by individual members of the group and some as a brains trust!

Added this one to the list as in the area, dragging MCFONZ along with us.

Parked about 50mts away as there were other cars in the way.

Spied the cache easily between us we have found countless before including 1 of us who has numerous of these as our own caches.

TFTC teamaustralia

Out on a "Puzzle Cache" run with McFonz and Felix II.

We had a list of Puzzle Solutions due the varying degrees of hard work from the different team members, so today was about picking up the Caches.

I had collected the required information for this cache last year, but had never go to the final.
However today was the day, a quick find at GZ as I have excactly the same Cache NOR.

Cheers for the fun mini series.

MM

We have checked on this cache a few times and it is there. Email me if you are having trouble. Happy hunting

Searched with BlaKids for a while but we could not get this one.

Searched high high and low but could not find. Will watch this one to see if others have more luck.

No luck here today. We will return another day to hunt

Yesterday I emailed the CO after fearing I had missed something, as the maths I had done was too simple, but the reassured me I was on the right track, so I did a last minute drive by hoping to catch the last of the daylight, but arrived a little too late so thought I'd stop by on my way home today...

*le sigh* No Luck! Maybe I would have had more luck in the dark! There were school children returning home and quite a few cars driving by, so decided to return at a later date....

the log's bag has come away from what its attached to, but it should still be easy enough to put it back in place properly.
happy hunting

I love these puzzles and esp these hides. They can come in large or small. This was nice. All quiet today at GZ. I left upright and vertical. Well I walked away!

Thanks to teamaustralia and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Loved your camo - excellent one. Signed the log. Thanks teamaustralia.

Out for a day of caching and started here. Found without problems.

Thanks for the cache.

No problems finding this - nicely done. Thanks for the puzzle and the hunt Teamaustralia.

Some quick basic subtraction and cache was quickly in hand. Thanx for the series TeamAustralia

having worked out coords at previous cache, I set off to see if I could locate final....luckily have seen a few of these by now so was able to spot quickly...thanks teamaustralia for a well set up series

I found the required information back in April, and finally got around to doing this cache today.
Thank you for a clever amusing hide.

Dropped by with bsurin65, kellyxley and Fiona after looking for the other caches and confirming the numbers. We were a bit all over the place, but made a quick find. TFTC!

Found on a day out caching with duncdonut73, kellyxley and Fiona. TFTC

Picked up the two required points last weekend but didn't have the time to come and find this one. Finally head the chance this morning. A nicely hidden cache. thankfully permission had been granted to retrieve. TFTC.

One of my friends was competing in a crossfit competition nearby today, and during one of the breaks I ducked off to grab some lunch, and a few caches of course

I had found the two required caches some time ago when they were first released, so I had the corrected coords ready to go. When I arrived I had a bit of trouble getting a good GPS fix, it seemed to keep sending me right out on the road, so I searched all the nearby trees, from all angles, but couldn't find anything.

I read the previous logs, checked the hint, searched the trees again, and just as I was about to give up and leave something caught my eye. What if? Surely not? Yes!!

Thanks for the cache and the series teamaustralia!

Found the two associated caches on our rounds of the area on a drizzling Sunday arvo and with final co-ords calculated we were quickly off to gz. Didn't take long for us to spot something - is it, isn't it? Then something just clicked and we knew what we had to do. Very clever (although we do have something very similar ourselves)and very well executed - it deserves a favourite point!

I hate to admit we didn't find it! We were thinking of permission and boxing and flying and stinging but didn't have any joy.

We spent almost as much time looking for our records of the clues from the first two caches as we did today at GZ. We have throughly enjoyed this little series and feel that it is certinely worth a favourite. Great job teamaustralia.

This one came out just before we set out on our WA adventure so it
was nice to be able to do it today.
Took us a little while to twig where it was hidden as our GPS put us in a range of places.
Nice hide
Thanks

We had to backtrack a bit, but when you have the information from the two caches, you can't leave a mystery, can you. The GPSr wanted to try several spots so it took a while , but eventually we found it.
Thanks for the series, Robmc.

Went back past the previously found "float" caches and grabbed the numbers. Headed quickly up the road to the GZ where I made a relatively fast find. Left a new pathtag for the next finder SL TFTC

Took a while to find, very cool hide...
