This cache is now non compliant with the guidelines regarding saturation distance with the nearby cache.
I cannot see a position within Wireless Hill that can have this cache and still be within the guidelines so it will be archived.

Sorry but you are still in the dieback area I described to you in an email so you cannot have a cache at this spot.
For Information
This cache has been identified by the City of Melville as being in a dieback infested area and will have to be moved out of the area to an area not infested by dieback and still comply with all the guidelines.
If the move is only a short distance then I will see to updating the coordinates to the new location but if a longer distance this listing will need to be archived and a new listing created.
Cachers should not try for this cache until it is moved away from the dieback area.

duck 43, I found your cache Melville Water 
. The plastic container has disintegrated 
. SL TFTH.
. The plastic container has disintegrated . SL TFTH.We didn't make this easy for ourselves. Very excited to find it but less so when two cockroaches ran out
Found after a brief search of the area. I was distracted by another nearby object before I noticed it. Very well hidden as usual. Slater bugs have made the container their home however as it is no longer airtight. TFTC
With the bicycle along the Swan River. So we come to Appelcross and drive from cache to cache. 
Here we can find the container quickly.
Thank you for cache say Moorhelmi

With the weather cooling down this afternoon I decided to head off for a walk to the wireless hill rec park. Today was a day for quality caches with roughly 5 of the 10 finds deserving of favorite points. A quality day of caching was had, and hopefully the rest of the trip lives up to this standard.

NZJESTERFound it amazing! Very well hidden. Unfortunately no log or anything at all in cache. Put plastic horse in. Needs new log book
Originally found under family caching name clan-wallace, now re logging under own name.
Thats a shame this one has suffered a bit of damage. Will write to CO & let him know. TFTC
Out hunting the best of the best caches today with Clan-Wallace, m4yb, megawat60 and maccasreps. You can't get better than duck43, WA's best CO in terms of fav points with a whopping 3210 points overall and counting. Wish I could of given everyone a fav point today because they are all fantastic. After a duck hunt at Piney lakes we were onto Wireless hill park. Shame this one has seen a bit of hard times love your work though TFTC duck43
Day 2 looking for this one! Found it!!! Very very clever - amazing attention to detail in hiding this cache. Super impressed Duck!
We couldn't get close enough. Then saw others found it today so will try another day.
Found with Maccamob and Micaparamedic. After a short stroll a stray pink pencil was a give-away but I like to think that I would have seen it anyway. A couple of parts of this one have seen better days but it is still working.
Found by Mary & David, in convoy with Alansee and micaparamedic (logged as ACMPMM), at 1005. Enjoyed this one, although it was easy to spot. The technology has taken a bit of a battering. Our thanks to duck 43.
More good luck here. MummyPenny said something that I thought was meant to be a hint, but she was really just commenting on something she'd seen. My misinterpretation exposed the cache for us. Enjoyed the history at the top. Thanks again duck 43.
Nice hide out, went straight past this one.. Great one for beginners - thanks guys
HA WOW this cache here was something else I have never seen anything like it to be honest well done TFTC
Quick find a GZ in the fading light
Another well constructed cache well done
Thanks Duck43

Thanks Duck43
Lucky find. Picked a line into the bush which took me straight to the cache. Another masterful Duck43 disguise.
Our second ever find! It's a thunderstormy day today. Had a ball! couldn't log in the book as we forgot to bring a pencil.
We are in Perth for a few days so decided to go and find some caches as we usually do when travelling. There are so many to choose from we utilized GSAK to determine the caches with the most favourite points. It turns out that the caches by duck 43 are the ones to find. Armed with all the info we needed we headed out with some excitement. We were definitely rewarded with some of the best hides we have ever seen.
We headed to this cache after finding the nearby "Pumps01" cache. Of course we took the hard way in to this one as we had to climb over a fence. The way out was much easier.....there is no need to climb over a fence!!!
Once over the fence we quickly spotted the awesome hide. So much work goes into these hides. We took the "Go Aussie Go" TB. There are no other TB's in the cache. A favourite point from us. TFTC.

TFTC Duck43. We needed to drop a long held travelbug. This one was big enough to accommodate it. Found lots of the cache on ground so replaced again, all good again. Love your caches!
Very clever cache. Thanks Duck 43 for your workmanship. A another favorite point coming.
Enjoying a day out in Perth. The caches up here have been on our to-do list for a while. Very well made cache.
A short walk from another nearby cache, I spotted this great hide. Almost didn't look at the view, i was that impressed at how this one has been made.
