Logs
I am archiving this cache due to the unfortunate lack of action taken to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, daz89, requesting additional time.Despite ample opportunities provided for the Cache Owner to respond, their silence leads me to the conclusion that the cache has been abandoned.In such cases, archived caches will not be unarchived, and as a result, this location is now open for the placement of a new cache by another interested party.Thanks,BalayangCommunity Reviewer - Australia
### 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 daz89 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 youBalayangCommunity Reviewer -Australia
Unfortunately I was unable to locate this cache today. I will add it to my list and hopefully return soon to claim the prize.
Easy find on a cold wet day. Just in time before the heavier rain. Left it in place because I had no writing instrument and some guy fixing the retic nearby. Nice height.
Out today in the City, catching up with some friends that I haven’t caught up with in some time. Afterwards, I ventured north to clear up some of the caches in the inner northern suburbs that have plagued my map for too long!
Didn’t have to look closely… was very, very obvious! In plain sight, a massive mint container. Returned it exactly as found, but I doubt it will last. Cheers daz89!

I found it hidden under a whole bunch of branches and leaves and I moved it into the tree
Following on from the Lighting series to explore other caches in Noranda. New container helped me spot this one Tftc
After some unsuccessful attempts to find some solved mystery caches needed to find one cache for the day so thanks for the hide!
Geodog and I were barking up the wrong tree. Finally found after a wider search of GZ. Thanks for the cache.
Container is chewy container as it was changed out by a previous cacher.

Found it. TFTC daz89. Great park here and reasonably quick find. The log is full but I had nothing to leave.
Nicely concealed.
Log is full and in need of maintenance. Nice to see the long history of finds though!

Thank you! I headed out for a cache or ten and enjoyed walking around this area. Happy to make the find here.
Found this camo'd mint tin with not too much trouble. Log is damp and 3/4 full. Easy park and grab.TFTC
This took a little bit of hunting around for me to find - because obviously if there’s a direction that you’re supposed to find it from...I’ll approach it from the opposite side. Lol. Cache is still operational but getting a bit weathered.
found it!! that was my first, pretty fun...
it’s still in a mint container but camouflaged...have fun

No trouble finding this one. It was easily seen as we walked up to it but we were coming from the garden side so it's not unsafe.
Getting the log out past the lip put the container was a job for small fingers but we got it out using a pen.
Thanks for the short sidetrack.

Find 7 of 26 with one "could not look" on a cold bike ride around Morley/Noranda/Embleton. Excellent entertainment mostly sponsored by familysteiner and .K.B.
All good here.
TFTC daz89!

TFTC daz89 .. all good with this one

We had made a plan mid-week to head northwards from home to collect a few caches. Our travels brought us to this area and we grabbed this cache while passing by. Cheers and TFTC.

Making the most of another beautiful autumn day, a number of smilies we wanted to claim today, we are happy to say we came up trumps here with a nice quick find TFTC
Another cool but sunny day so off to get some caches nearer home with m4yb.
Well spotted by her but no mint tin. Interesting seeing the last signature is back in April.
Bit confusing as she found the mint tin as web headed out, not sure what's happening here but sig's in both

Another bright winter's day so out n about with megawat60 adding to the cache tally for June.
First we found a cache in the tree, with a log last signed 29/4/17. Signed this log.
Then, a bit puzzled, I looked more and found a mint tin with recent signatures. Signed there too.

TFTH Out to get some early morning caches and fill in some smilie faces on the map. Clever hide when I found it!! LS and cache returned.
After attending the Donerstag event in Bassendean we spent a lovely morning grabbing some caches in the area.
Nice quick find.
TFTC daz89 this is find # 2137 for us.

Not sure if I found a new version or an old version of this cache but the container definitely wasn't a mint tin! Type of hide was unexpected but fortunately it was an easy spot as the colour stands out a bit Was about to rummage and climb but that ultimately wasn't necessary Interesting the way the islands are ringed by stone kerbs, presumably just for decoration, but feels unnecessarily formal. A nice little oasis though to walk through to GZ. Once there the location was obvious and as mentioned the cache was a quick find. No problems here - thanks for bringing me here and of course TFTC
