One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Definitely not in Place. Even ezzer06 couldn't find it after logging it in January 2016!
Can the CO please confirm its existance?

Came all the way from Ireland to find a few of these caches. Really disappointed not to find this. Maybe not there any more as the last two didn't find it.

Nice!!

We figured out to look somewhere unusual and look up - so we found something, dismantled it, didn't think we'd found it so went back to looking. Geo-Daughter said "let's take another look at that thing" and sure enough, saw the log! Yeah. Very fun, and blends in well!
 
09-May-16
Nice cheeky one!
 
23-Apr-16
Found with the goatlord46. You will need a tool to retrieve the log. TFTC It was fun

Late weekend dash.

Nice hide! I had spotted the cache a while ago but I could not get to it. This morning I came back with the right tool and finally managed to sign the log. No-one at GZ at dawn on a Sunday morning... Thank you for the cache AndrewSWRT.

Hi

Tricky find unless you are tall

Last cache for the afternoon, number 6 for the day. Had a lovely time walking around the area, listening to an audiobook, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful houses and cars in the surrounding streets...very impressive.

Thought I'd be looking for a typical nano here, but luckily I started my eyeball search up high (and avoided getting onto my hands and knees) thanks to the previous comment(s). Spotted the out of place thing in no time and was able to retrieve the container.

I did not have tweezers with me, and even if I did, the log looks like it's pretty much destroyed. I took a photo of the cache for proof if you want to see it. It appears a previous logger at some point didn't do so great at rolling the log and jammed it back in there in somewhat of a 'U' shape. I'd say that removal will more than likely be the end of the log, and thus a new log will be needed.

Thanks for the cache in the lovely little park AndrewSWRT.
 
Didn't find! We are only beginners. Thanks
 
Found on second attempt. Need to come back with tweezers to get the log out.

It was quite tricky but we found it in the end

This is just pure genius! Brilliant hide. Not recommended for those just starting out in this game. This one will send you screwy!
 
09-Jul-15
Making our way down the coast so thought we would make a few finds Smile
Beautiful day to be out and about!
Spotted it right away but needed geohubby to retrieve the cache Wink
I couldn't sign the log as it is stuck in but I do have a pic I'll send to CO as proof or my find Smile
Thanks for the cache
 
09-Jul-15
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CACHE. I came here with King_of_waffles and were about to give up when I saw a suspicious *olt. Best, cache, EVER!!!!!
 
06-Jul-15
Fantastic hide. Unable to write in the log as couldn't get it out.
 
04-Jul-15
Without my friend Lord of random I would never have found but without my climbing skills he wouldn't have got it
 
15-May-15
Found reasonably quickly, wow this park has changed heaps- grew up in this area, centre of the park used to look very different, definitely a change for the best Smile TFTC + trip down memory lane Smile

Great spot that I never knew existed. Will definitely come back on a cooler day to check out the bird life. Quick find here with the benefit of the previous logs. TFTC!
 
25-Jan-15
TFTC AndrewSWRT. Found it with the aid of Shlj on mt shoulders.
 
24-Jan-15
Quite a quick find but getting too it was a different matter, none of us was tall enough so we had to get on each others shoulders, very good camo as it blended in very well, TFTC.
 
17-Jan-15
Forgot pen to sign the log - will return to do so later. Nice cammo- thanks
 
04-Jan-15
Will not be archiving this one as asked by the council as the response seems all positive! There is no need to vandalise any property and if people don't understand that then they shouldn't be caching anyway??
 
28-Dec-14
Thank goodness for our 6"4 cacher he comes in handy!! This one is not for the vertically challenged!! TFTC Smile
 
26-Oct-14
Headed NOR with my family (jasenjanine) for the Little Feet Festival & we found a few caches whilst in the area... This was one we found on our day out Big Grin

Thanks AndrewSWRT Smile
 
26-Oct-14
Headed North of the river with the kids to go to the Little Feet Festival & found ourselves exploring this area... The kids happily watched the koi in the lake whist I searched for the cache Smile Unfortunately the gizmo had me searching in the places Sad Then after going back in the logs & figuring out exactly where GZ was, I quickly discovered the cache, but then I could only just reach it!

TFTC!! I have been hanging out to find one of these hides, very tricky, loved it!

It's amazing how much easier it is when you know where NOT to look. Quick find tonight Smile
 
09-Aug-14
I spent ages looking for this one this morning but with no luck. Probably should have read the other comments before I began this search as I was looking in all the wrong places. Will try again soon.
 
26-Jul-14
Sneaky!
 
26-Jul-14
We'll protected this cache

Luckily geo-wife spotted the camo shortly after arrival. The terrain rating should be a 2 though. Thanks AndrewSWRT

Look for something not quite right.
 
22-Apr-14
found a suspicious screw, but still no geocache.
 
20-Mar-14
Exploring Hillarys on the geo-bike today. I looked around quite a bit, then read the previous logs as some cachers suggested and found it immediately. TFTH
 
25-Feb-14
I only had a few previous logs in my GPS to guide me to the likely hiding spot, but it was all it took. No sprinklers were harmed in the finding of this cache. Cheers AndrewSWRT
 
14-Feb-14
Out for a mornings caching with m4yb after donating blood at Hillarys. So glad to have this one sussed and placing a smilie here. Our first visit was ages ago and I think we have learnt a few tricks. A very good hide and great camo, thanks a lot AndrewSWRT
 
14-Feb-14
Thanks to reading the previous logs, we knew where to look and where not to look, and geofriend megawat60 made a quick find! Great to add another smiley to this area! TFTC AndrewSWRT!
 
25-Jan-14
Once we saw, previous logs saying gz wrong we knew exactly where to look tftc

Sneaky sneaky! What a beautiful location!!!
 
20-Jan-14
I tried to find this container today without luck. I post a NM as a worker of the city came to the final and started chatting with me. He knew about geocaching and said, that watersprinklers have been destroyed and pulled out. He was not very amused about it and asked me to inform the owner of the cache to archive the cache or make people stop destroying public facilities.
Owner please add a hint or any information where the cache is NOT to be found, archive or find a new place.
 
18-Jan-14
Took a while and a fair bit of looking in the wrong places but definitely worth it, cool cache!
 
15-Jan-14
Don't believe the gps!!!!!! Ps. Don't it where you think it is
 
15-Jan-14
That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.
 
07-Jan-14
My favourite one so far! TFTC!
 
30-Dec-13
Another full day of Geocaching With Mr Drovers today to finish the area we didn't cover last Monday. It is a beautiful day and lots of great hides along the way. TFTC
 
30-Dec-13
Another enjoyable day, caching with JacobsCrew.
We headed to the north of Perth, where we visited lots of
local urban parks & bushland, with a good variety of hides.
Thanks for the cache, AndrewSWRT.

Caching day out with Mistraluna today, the year 2013 coming to an end. A nice sunny Summer's day, on the whole ! Bit of an urban, city experience today - park to reserve to shops to park, a find at a Time Razz The two "luna's" having a laugh here & there Cool I enjoyed the varied birdlife here. SL TFTC AndrewSWRT
 
27-Dec-13
With Christmas out of the way and a whole month of holidays stretching out in front of me, what better to do with my time than go caching. Headed north and grabbed Luna Maya before jumping on the freeway and heading up this way. We overshot the exit where we had planned to start our quest, so quickly changed plans and started our day around Whitfords instead. Loved all the birdlife - in fact I wanted to take a couple of the ducks home with me. Found the cache no problems. The log was full so we popped in a replacement. Thanks for the cache AndrewSWRT
 
01-Dec-13
Mmm you have to be tall
 
01-Dec-13
You need somw height
 
13-Nov-13
Second attempt at this one and I am happy to say a find. Came back over a year latter after the first attempt with much more experience up our sleeves to log a very quick and now blindly obvious find! TFTC
 
13-Nov-13
Third and thank god it was the final attempt at last found it very sneaky hide indeed need to be tall to grab this luckily we were tftc found with steve1269
 
13-Oct-13
Props to mum for a sneaky find... Wasn't found by the tallest member of our team but height would definitely help! Razz
 
10-Oct-13
Very well disguised!!
 
03-Oct-13
Location seams to be in middle of a garden with lots of trees around but could not find it. May be I am not tall enough. If so not fair for shorty's Sad Hope to find it one day.
 
03-Oct-13
This has been my third try and still cant find the cache. I think the co ordinates should be more precise as it leads into a bunch of flowers. I also think you should give better clues as it could be anywhere around the BBQ area.
 
01-Oct-13
TFTC Smile definitely a bit of stretch lucky I had a tall person with me
