The situation here has been reviewed again.Sufficient time has elapsed since the issues were highlighted, and nothing has been done to restore it. Circumstances that prevent timely maintenance can arise, and ample opportunity for the Cache Owner to get in touch to request a time extension has been provided.No request has been received from the Cache Owner, Mistraluna, for further time to restore the cache.On this basis, it appears to have been abandoned by the Owner and, therefore, will be Archived.Caches lost in this manner will not be Unarchived.This area is now available for other interested players to utilise for cache placement if viable locations can be found.

Looked around the area, no luck this time

Hi there Mistraluna. While out on the road today we hunted this cache but after a search we came up empty handed . Thanks to Mistraluna for this cache.FieldNotes:

Tried but could not find this cache

Unfortunately wasn't able to find this one today.

After visiting the bookshop I headed down to this cache. I was 1 from 2 so far, and I was hoping to increase the ratio.
I had to wait a while, while a dog walker with very slow dogs moved away from the scene.
Then I had a loon around. I found a spot that would make a hiding spot, but I found nothing there. I scanned around for other possibilities but found nothing. I tried reading a few old logs, but they offered nothing insightful.

I initially went way too far trying to find GZ as I thought this was a different(now archived) cache. Once I did find GZ it was a simple find. TFTC.

We waited for some Muggles to move on and commenced our search. We soon had the cache in hand.
Out and about caching for the evening with Cirrus_WA and Sir Fancy,. TFTH!

Arrived to find a couple of muggles having a rather animated conversation at one of the bench’s so we took a seat at the other and hoped they’d move on, after about 5 minutes they did and we got about to searching.
SirFancy located the container another couple of minutes later and we claimed the find after a couple of years unloved.

Thanks Mistraluna for placing Swim Thru' Mandurah for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 20:52 on 6/12/2022.
This is find number 6246 for me.

Cache in good condition.


This is my 3886 find.
Thank you Mistraluna for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!
(I’m not a geologist I just like puns)

Replaced.

Good to go again.

Replacement cache prepped and ready to place. Will have it back in play asap.

G’day Mistraluna! I am recommending a maintenance checkup at this cache.

Nothing found

Looked everywhere no luck

Didn’t find the cache but had a beautiful viewing of the dolphins.

No luck here. Nice day and certainly ticks all the boxes in terms of location. Thanks anyway.

Grabbing some caches in Mandurah on this beautiful sunny day. We made our way to this one and started our search while enjoying the view. We searched for about 5 minutes and finally spotted the prize. We took care of our caching duties and returned your cache back to where it lives. TFTC Mistraluna.

Caching in Mandurah with axell33 today and some foreshore smilies. It really is lovely on this side of the bridge. We made the find and returned to hide. Thanks for the cache.

Doing a few night caches while we’re in Mandurah on holiday. This cache was so tiny I’m surprised Beau found it before me! TFTC

With some spare time on our hands we decided to head outdoors and gather some more smiley faces in the area close(ish) to home. This cache was one we had on the radar for today, cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Mistraluna, I was in this area today and found your cache Swim Thru' Mandurah GC3JMNH. I added my name to the log book at 12:34 pm on 10 October 2020. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

Quick find here with JABETS. Lovely walk. TFTH

Nice walk out with ajee. A quick find in a pretty spot

Found it took abit to get the fingers in to get but nice hiding spot

Out and about today with geodog M and thought I had logged this one and hadn't. Found about a month ago . Sltnln. Thanks for the cache guys

Found it, thanks very much

After seeing a few found logs after my dnf I thought Id head back down to give this another shot. Maybe I was over thinking it the first time? Its much easier than I had expected and found it this time around very swiftly. Happy to turn this frown upside down TFTC mistraluna

Nice part of the river. TFTC

A windy rainy old day today! Perfect for grabbing a few muggly caches between showers. Good coordinates made this a quick find. Tftc Mistraluna. Nice to be out caching again after a bit of a break

Finally got my fingers on this sneaky buggy

Awesome thanks

Extremely well hidden, took me a while, just incredible

DNF On our Birthdsy Shenanigans tour of Mandurah ️

Hmmm I will be back for another search. I kept getting bugged by muggles asking what I was doing. Bird watching didnt seem to move them on, they decided to join me

Found! During a bike ride from the camping to the center this cache was found.

Thanks for creating and maintaining this cache!

Whoa, tiny cache - well hidden TFTC

Glad to see this finally up and running again. First found log in over 2 years.

TFTC Mistraluna this is find #8888 for us.

Coordinates changed from:
S 32° 32.159 E 115° 43.189

Coordinates changed to:
S 32° 32.224 E 115° 43.237

Distance from original: 466.2 feet or 142.1 meters.

Think the nearby neighbours are the culprits who keep removing this one so moving it back to once of its previous spots. NOTE: EXTREME STEALTH REQUIRED WHEN ATTEMPTING THIS ONE.

Cache is in place ready to be found again.

New cache ready to be placed, soon.

Cache is MIA. Strange how so many are suffering the same misfortune...

No luck finding this one yesterday

After a string of dnfs maybe time for a look if it’s still there.

??????

This one might be missing

Sadly a DNF here today.

Muggle alert
No luck
It’s definitely not the tree next to it either
Check the hive out

Does not have Tree Climb attribute nor high terrain rating so good chance this one gone.

Have been hesitant to search for more of yours Mistraluna as they usually prove too difficult for us. Decided to give this one a go after having it on our radar for a while. We searched in every possible spot and every nook and cranny but unfortunately failed to find this one too. Thanks anyway.

Had a look around and didn't see.

Tricky hide. Nicely done. TFTC

TFTH Mistraluna, Gorgeous day to be out and about. Navigated the obstacles to get to the footpath with muggle friend in the wheelchair!! All good fun. Found the cache, SL and replaced as found. Saw no dolphins though.

TFTC quick and easy find

Yeah found it bit hard

Hannah's first find
We loved seeing the dolphins while caching

The dolphins showed us the way

My first day caching

A Quick find, well hidden. Thanks for the cache!

Didn't bring a pen to sign the log :s

Found with spuddycakes unfortunately we left our pen behind. Thanks for the cache

TFTC

Found it very sneaky hide !

16:01
A couple of Victorians caching in WA for the first time - great weather for walking and exploring close to where our lodgings are. Tricky hide.

Thanks Mistraluna for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Pretty dangerous

Placeholder log

Quick find and added bonus to see dolphins swimming by TFTC

??

TFTH headed down this way to collect a couple more smileys and head out to dinner on a Monday night.

I also had a TB looking for a nice sandy beach and I knew there were a few options down here that I needed to find that ticked that box precisely.

Only a few caches today however enough to keep the tally going and enough to keep it interesting.

Thanks to the local COs for placing and maintaining

We enjoyed a caching day today with Rita and Hans (Moorhelmi) who are visiting from Germany. After finding a few in Point Peron it was off to Mandurah. The works on the sea wall are a bit messy, but this was a nice walk away from all that. Not so easy to find, but it was where we expected. TFTC

TFTC! Found with cravo10 on a lovely day out in the Mandurah area to cleanup some caches that we've missed on previous visits to the area. Mostly good quick finds. Was good to finally knock off the message in a bottle 2 cache to complete the series. Thanks to the local COs for their caches, look forward to coming back here soon. Thanks

Together with the fairwaydrivers we went on this beautiful day from Perth along the coast to the south. We visited some caches and logged. [^] Not so easy to find, but it was where we expected.

> Thank you for bringing and saying the Moorhelmi's

Hi there Mistraluna.

We found your cache **"Swim Thru' Mandurah"** at 12:07:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 14816.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around Mandurah today & ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes hidden along the way.

Today we found 14 caches & DNF'd 2. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge if the container was large enough..

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Went and checked - it is still there.

Not sure this one is still here. The gum nuts and I lookedreally hard.

A special day - I've actually found one of your hides Mistraluna
Tftc in a beautiful spot

Went for a walk late in the afternoon, so we decided to pick up this cache along the way. Tftc sl tnln.

Replaced this one a few days ago and then forgot to enable the listing, doh!!

Replacement cache will be in place tomorrow.
Bugger! Broke the replacement before I could place it. Will take a few days longer now.

This one is the next on my list to be replaced - very soon.

Cache has walked away, yet again.

Four of us could not find this one. All other logs said it was easy but given we are the third group unable to find we think it's gone...

I have a feeling the canister was in here. Looked everywhere rlse and DNF.
Be very careful of the bee hive... in fact beehive yourself

Did not find

It was raining, lots of people looking out their windows.

I'm sure I've tried for this one on a previous visit and an unsuccessful yet again despite 3 of us looking

Gotcha, found this one while on a caching trip in Mandurah for the day with Geogypsies and Schnappy96.
TFTC

An easy find tftc

Quick find! Lovely day out with Geogypsys and Pood TFTC

TFTC

Nice easy find

Tftc. Ducked out for a night cache and we got to see dolphins in the evening waters playing around... so special

Found with spookysweetpea. TFTC

we started caching with our family under the name clan-wallace but now it is time to have our own identity, hence embarking on a marathon re logging exercise.

Just had a nice lunch in Mandurah. Time for one more before we head home. Deceptively simple hide. TFTC
