Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, MikEmMooChar, requesting additional time.
An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.
Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have an Owner Check, and so it has been disabled to allow the CO to rectify the problem and prevent further inconvenience for our geocaching community.
The cache owner, MikEmMooChar, needs to :
* Investigate the situation and either restore the cache, or address any other issues, such as correcting the D/T rating if necessary.
* Re-enabling the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log if a Needs Maintenance attribute needs to be cleared.
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 MikEmMooChar.
[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 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, and 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 you

Wasn’t anything there we had 6 people searching the hole park and there is nothing there
Met up with a friend for a walk around Mundy Regional Park, and picked up a few caches in the process. After I picked up a few caches around Forrestfield with a pit stop in Welshpool on the way home.
Always feel awkward with caches near fence lines, but luckily I was in and out here. Cheers MikEmMooChar!

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 or message centre) 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.

Might need to be checked on? It may have been thrown away as it is a kids playground
Was in right area and had a choice of three trees but could not find. Phone seemed to be jumping all over the place one minute saying had 30 metres then went down to 10 and up to 50 etc. found right location roughly by map. Think it may be missing.
I replaced the water damaged log book and put it in a new zip lock bag.
All good for winter.
All good for winter.
We decided that it is warmer outside than inside today so made the decision to brave the elements & go caching. I don't think we bargained for torrential rain & stong winds. TFTC
The plastic bag doesn't seal, so the paper is damp. However, I could log our visit. TFTC
Quick find. Log is soaked as previous cachers have reported. Maintenance is required. TFTC
Yeeeehaaaaaa! Found it - with a bit of help from some kids playing in the park. Great quiet location.
I was having a bad run, three dnfs in a row (two of those today) and needed to find one!
A great story behind this one and an awesome clue, meant I quickly found this one.
Thank you for the cache and keeping my streak alive

Quick find thanks to the hint, but cache is broken at the hinge, bag is split and log is satched. Requires some urgent TLC and reading back through the logs, has for some months. TFTC MikEmMoo.
Found it but it was too damaged to write on as the bag has split. Thanks for the find! Hopefully you can replace the log book 
thanks
thanksThe cache lid is broken, the plastic bag is no longer waterproof and the log is sopping wet but is still signable at this stage.
Spent a lovely couple of hours caching in the area. This cache desperately needs maintenance. Managed to sign the soggy log. TFTC MikEmMooChar
Night time find with Team Punky's couldn't sign the log as it was very water damaged
Very excited that gramay55 and I got to take first time cacher nanjackoliver out to pickup this cache. Tftc!
Found with first timer nanjackoliver and Dnamerritt. Lovely Perth day and the cockies put on a show. TFTC
Nice cache A quick find plastic bag has had its day but otherwise all ok here tftc
Arrived at the nice little park and once the gps zeroed in on ground zero, it was a quick find. Nice container. All is well with cache. TFTC!
I was in the area and early for my sons footy training so decided to find a couple of caches whilst here. T: TB, LN. TFTC.
On my way home tonight, I de used to grab a cache or two.
A nice quick find here today.
MikEmMooChar I found your cache Scarface: Little Havana on 15/07/2015 at 5:27 pm. This is my find #3442. TFTC.

Nice empty log to sign in a great small container. Easy find in a deserted park. Left TB. Tftc
Maintenance replace cache with something a little better. New log and pencil.
Out & about in Forrestfield today after dropping Janine off at the airport, the 'boys' had some time to grab a few of the local caches 
We parked close by this one, and subsequently made a quick find even without the clue. All good with the cache ... TFTC MikEmMooChar

. All good with the cache ... TFTC MikEmMooChar TFTC. Find number 6 Would not have found if not for the hint! The log book looks waterdamaged. The ziplock bag could do with being replaced too.
