###Cache Maintenance Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know the progress of restoration efforts.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.
**I will check back in 30 days** to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.
If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.*
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

What an interesting cemetery, with more than a few unanswered questions. Unfortunately we suspect this one has gone missing as the area has clearly been recently burnt.
These non catholics could not find this cache. Hmmm. Nevertheless what a lovely little cemetery - so well maintained.
Grabbed this one on the way into Wandering to meet I C Nothing. A nice quick park and grab. TFTH!
Great coordinates. No worries finding this one.
It seems no one gets out of this town alive. 2 cemeteries in the one small town.
We parked within 2m of the cache.... Nice.

FRP #2 Wandering is in great shape awaiting the next visitor. Thanks for setting this one up.
Found it. TFTC blingg. Had to wait for the GPS to settle then it was a quick find. Is this a case of religious discrimination ?
Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
Boy, the Catholics didn’t want to be associated with the others hey!
Thanks for the hide and blingg.

Megawat60 and I are on our way South, and made a stop for this cache. Quick find again, TFTC!

Day 1 of the Holland Track Adventure
This trip had been on my 'Wish List' for some years
The problem was Logistics
I had to get the timing right...…….So many Variables!
Weather
The best time of year is after winter to avoid the very worst of the cold and wet, and before the weather gets too hot in summer
We were very fortunate to get nice warm sunny days and mild nights with no rain, the track was mostly dry and the deep mud puddles could easily be skirted around on dry tracks
Company
I did not want to tackle the track on my own as my vehicle is not fully set up for hard core 4 wheel driving, no winch or high lift kit which would be advisable, especially after rain
Luckily I found a group of other geocachers who were planning to tackle the track and I quickly agreed to join in the group
Today was the day
After spending many hours the previous afternoon removing all my work tools and other stuff out of my vehicle and packing in all my camp gear, I was ready to go early in the morning
Stopping to fill up with fuel on my way out of town then continuing on to pick up my passenger Mistraluna
While we had discussed a rough plan of finding caches on the way to Hyden I was not prepared for the coming adventure that this day would prove to become
Luckily we had all day today and tomorrow to get to Hyden where we would meet up with the other members of our party
On the way we stopped to top up with fuel and headed for our first cache of the day
From the fuel station we drove east to Pinjarra then on Pinjarra - Williams road, through Dwellingup, continuing east until we reached the power line road just past East Boundary rd. We made a left turn here and started heading north
The road was quite good and I did not need to use 4 wheel drive
I was thrilled to see a great number and variety of wild flowers along the roadside which I had not seen before
Cache #10
A quick park and grab here, Mistraluna did the logging duties while I had a bit of a look at the gravestones
This seems to be a family plot as the graves are arranged in groups of same surnames
Thanks for placing a cache to break up the journey for cachers and to show us another interesting spot we would never find if not for a cache being here

Life has been a bit of a whirlwind lately, with two trips to Borneo in the past few months, followed straight after by the WA Goes BIG 2018 event down in Dunsborough without even unpacking my bags properly. It was while helping out at the BIG event that I was lucky enough to hear about an upcoming geocaching adventure tackling the Holland Track, an experience I thought I would never be able to be part of, being a single woman without a real 4wd of my own. But the planets aligned for me that weekend and the offer was extended by SeabreezeOZ that I was more than welcome to come along. And of course I just had to say yes, yes, yes!!
So the wheels were set into motion, and today was the first day of our grand adventure. We thought (well I thought) that tackling a few along the Bibb track would be a bit of practice for some off-roading before tackling the Holland Track. That diversion turned out to be quite an adventure on its own, with lots of fallen trees and locked gates forcing us to turn back and try alternative routes. My snail trail for that area out their is quite hilarious but that is a whole other story. Let's just say it was a huge relief when we did finally make it back out to the bitumen. From that point on, we were happy to stick pretty close to the main road, picking up caches here and there as we headed towards our intended campsite out in the Dryandra Forest. This cache was along the way, so of course we had to stop and see if we could find it. Cute little cemetary. Cache found, log signed, then cache replaced as found before moving onto the next one. Not too much daylight left at this point, but not far to go now either.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to come and find blingg.

Was a bit scared to put my hand in but all good. TFTC

Road trip to Esperance, by passing some friends and family along the way. Have a hole week off to enjoy time away from work and all the stress. Picking up caches along the way. Tftc sl tnln.
Had a big day out on the LGA series yesterday and after camping for the night in Congelin just had to pick up a few more smiley's about the place on the way home. These Wandering caches have been on the radar for a while and was glad to have a go at them today.
A quick find here once at GZ, was a bit worried about all the debris about the place but all is good with the cache.
blingg I found your cache at 9:25am, this was the 7th of 9 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 4680. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

A quick find on our way back to Perth! There are certainly a lot of people from the same family here!
pug002 found it 21/11/2017 on our last day before we leave tomorrow. TFTC blingg. 
Looked like a newly dug grave here.
Looked like a newly dug grave here.Heading from Boddington to Pingelley with the caravan in tie and couldn't resist a short detour. SL.
Went on a road trip with grandma allinaday. We stopped at many places that I had never been before. We saw and admired many different wildflowers and orchids when we were looking for caches. The fields were nice and green, and I loved the yellow canola fields too. It was fun looking for the caches too. TFTC
Wandering into Wandering to find some caches. This was our first stop and made a nice find at this old cemetery. TFTC
Headed out today for a bit of a long drive to pick up a few of the green boxes that had appeared on the map since I was last down this way. A nice quick find here TFTC blingg
Spent a lovely cool Thursday off amongst clear blue skies in the bush with Barnzy12 chasing down some elusive caches that have always escaped the radar around the rural towns of dwarda, boddington, wandering and a few others.
We had our eyes on nabbing a FTF son a cache in wandering which we had noticed was available on Monday evening but decided to leave the chase for today, we figured people wouldn't be crazy enough to go for it on a weekday and luckily we were rewarded there.
We continued around finding a bunch of other caches around wandering before moving to codjadotine and then venturing grabbing various bush caches which really was the order of the day with some nice walks through pristine untouched bush.
We continued around with one of us having to get the shoes off and the feet wet to grab a nice t3 cache and collected a few more caches that have been very unloved (twelve plus months) which was nice.
We managed to cleanup a number of caches today which helped our stats page out heaps! We filled in a jasmer grid with the fire lookout dryandra cache, a large with the adventure out mystery cache, a FTF and even some unloved caches with a total of two years unloved found today which is always a pleasure.
Thanks for making us stop and slow down to explore an area of Western Australia we have travelled many many a time but never stopped to fully explore and appreciate. Some individual comments in the logs. Thanks go to the local COs for a great day out.

TFTC:) A lot of one family in there. Nearly chased off by a couple of locals wondering what we were doing.
After being unable to buy a ice cream at the local Tavern this cache was found.. Very quiet here today.
Found on a country drive cache hunt! Found with Peppergirl, Rifus and Lab Mouse. TFTC! Whoever put the Bowra & O'Dea pen in a cache next to a cemetery - WELL PLAYED.
What the Catholics lack in numbers, they make up for with ornament. Hard to believe that this little town needs separate cemeteries. So much for ecumenical harmony!
Neat hide. There was no writing stick but I found a pen 30 m away, too large to fit in the container so I left it on top.
Gawd !! There is a log of Dowsett family history here !! [:o]
A fascinating wander around the stones
Each family member for over a hundred years is commemorated here !!
A few other families vie for space too
TFTC and a really good cemetery find !! [^]

Was down this way for the first Rogain of the year which was being held about 10km North. Made a short detour to Wandering to grab some caches.
Quick find here in the first place we looked. Lots of big ants have made this place home too, so be careful. TFTC

Jinta29 and I packed the swags and headed down south for a couple of days. We had a plan to grab some caches and this was one of them.
Another quick find on our journey here. Loving this part of the world.
blingg we found your cache FRP Wandering #2 on 2015-07-03 at 8:26 am. This is our find #3365.TFTC.

We were able to drive close to this one 
. Almost a park and grab
Kyzabra and I were evicted by our respective loved ones and told to head off for a day or so. Well, how could we ever turn down an offer like that! We packed up the swags, some food and headed down this way for a bit of adventure.
Gotta love geo road-trips and i look forward to doing more exploring around this area.
blingg - jinta29 found your cache FRP Wandering #2 on 3/07/2015 8:25 am. This is my find #3389 and find #6 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

A quick find on our way home after the event weekend in Busselton (yes I know its way off line but we came via Kojonup). SL and replaced before moving on. Thanks to blingg for the cache.
It was an easy find on my way to visit the daughter.
Very quiet this morning as I usually see a lot more people when I pass through.
For peoples information there is fuel available here now. The pumps are located opposite the store.
No swaps took trackables

Oh dear, the disadvantages of not being able to read more than coordinates on the spot. They didn't turn up anything so I had to leave. Now I can read all the bits and see that it wasn't me being too hot, but a real problem. I'll be back one day. One has to think why the catholic cemetary has to be in the light industrial area. Does that mean they work harder or less hard than the rest of us at dying?
Co-ords were out on our GP's. After reading previous logs it didn't take long to find. Cache is in good condition. The last of our Wandering caches. Thanks for the cache blingg.
At first we came up empty handed, but found the cache some 10m away using Keego & Chil's coords. Thanks blingg
Arrived at location with iluvtrekking to find co-ords out by around 30 mts after reading previous logs. Quick find once punching in co-ords left by K&C. Thanks bling.
I agree with the previous couple of logs - the co-ordinates are out and are as stated 2 logs back. However, it was still an easy find. TFTC.
This one had us scratching our heads as our GZ had us inside the little cemetery. So a quick search of the surrounding area without luck, so Keego checked the logs, and found that the co-ords were out. So we plugged jowibas co-ords in and this became a quick find, about 32m away from original co-ords. SL TFTC blingg
There was one happy dog here let loose and she tore around burning up the energy stored from the long drive from Perth.
We eventually read the logs and found your co-ordinates are sus must have been a typo when you wrote up the cache.

Interesting that there is two cemeteries in town.

Came to find cache but found a grieving family holding vigil for a small very new grave covered with helium balloons.
After reading previous logs we used the co-ords listed by 'jowiba' and were taken straight to GZ.
A very small cemetery this...almost exclusively used by the 'Dowsett' pioneers...just a couple of other names too.
Many thanks for the hide Blingg [^]

Another easy find on our way to Cuballing but only after reaing the logs of previous cachers. Coordinates where we found cache are: S 32° 41.607 E 116° 40.687, maybe worth to change it. TFTC blingg.
Not so easy find initially after turning off the highway for a different drive on the way to Wagin. Looked for the obvious place and found it some metres away from GZ.
