Life's Little Instructions 6 Falcon, Western Australia, Australia

I am archiving this cache after noting that no appropriate action has been taken to restore it, and I have not received any communication from the Cache Owner, Mistraluna, regarding a request for more time.Circumstances that prevent timely maintenance can arise, and I've provided ample opportunity for the Cache Owner to get in touch. However, with no updates or restorative maintenance completed, I can only conclude that this cache has been abandoned. Therefore, it is being archived to clear the way for new cache placements by other interested players in this location. Caches archived for this reason are ineligible to be Unarchived.[Balayang -Geoff](https://www.geocaching.com/email/?guid=35e8567e-6d62-483c-9e3d-c8ec0ffd25bd)Volunteer Community Reviewer -Australia

### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present. 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 Mistraluna and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.[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 see that action has been by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is 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 youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer -Australia

Dodgy spot to hide the geocache.

Didnt go in, glass everywhere and full of rubbish. Very gross. Maybe cache needs to be moved?

Nothing there

Found it but cannot log.

Scrap my previous note. I can log it now. Found.

Great hiding spot

Too many muggles

Nearly gave up but read some logs and got the clues I needed. Gps was about 4m off for me tftc

Came back to avenge a dnf and found this sneaky spot

Good one!

took a lil while but found it with a bit of thought

Omg! Our 4th attempt at this one and we found it!!!! Spoiler alert for people struggling with it like we did!!!!

Not magnetic and you need to be tallish to get your hands on it.

Overgrown and lots of rubbish

Will come back another day with a fresh pair of eyes

So much rubbish

Booorrrinnnggg

Hard to look for it with all the rubbish in the area.

Took long, but we eventually found it.

Find 13 of 24 with 9 DNFs on a 40km bike ride taking in most of the peninsula south of Mandurah, starting at Santi Ikto, down to the Cut and back, then the last couple on a second 4km bike ride to see Little Lui, the giant.

Got the right idea here, after a minute or two in the wrong spot. Good hide, neatly done.

TFTC Mistraluna!

Easy find on our way to find the giants

Mmmm

An "additional hint" is always welcome.
Because it is by default encrypted, it need not be seen unless a searcher wants to.

Easy and quick one on my way back to Perth TFTC

Looked everywhere couldn't find

This was hard to find but so fun

Out getting passport photos at the post office & noticed there was a cache nearby, so we had to do it! Luckily it didn't take too long to find. Found with Redrobbin25. Tftc

Pulled into the relatively empty car park and walked towards GZ.
Not many places to hide a cache and a bit of investigation turned up the container.

Looking at the map for somewhere to head tonight with SirFancy and south seemed like a good place so off we went.
Cached along the Falcon coastline and managed to dodge most of the rain along the way.
On a drizzly night we finished with 8 finds and 0 DNF’s.

Thanks Mistraluna for placing Life's Little Instructions 6 for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 20:12 on 24/5/2022.
This is find number 5017 for me.

Cache in good condition.


This is my 2543 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)

Too many muggles today. Will return another day.

Found after a short search . Thanks nice container.

Picked up the partner from the airport tonight and happened upon an empty carpark. After parking next to the GZ, a quick scuttle around revealed the cache, much to my geo-partners surprise!
I'd previously spent a while scoping this one out and was convinced of its location, but as soon as I pulled up I changed my mind, there was only one place it could be, in my mind.
I loved this cache, it's as cheeky as I aspire to be. Thanks for the cache Mistraluna!

Quick park and grab here. A neat find. Cheers Mistraluna!

Too much rubbish and people nearby

Nice hide, good one to cap off my 40th find

A nice quick find here.

We were able to plan a road trip to Collie for this weekend and mapped out a few unfound caches down Mandurah way, through Bunbury and some other back roads to fill in the day. This cache was o e we had on our to do list! Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Mistraluna, I was in this area today and found your cache Life's Little Instructions 6 GC3N1WW. Our name was added to the log book at 7:09 am on 6 November 2021. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

We took up Geocaching on 3 March 2013 and this cache brings our total find count to - 12778.

Found this with Geodog R on an arvo out and the hint didn't help. Just lucky I've found others like this before and 4 years more experience for finding this one this time. Tftc guys

I take my cap off to this one

DNF

I will be back, you will be found

Went to get my first Covid jab and stopped off for this one nearby. After a little while searching, I managed to check the right spot. TFTC Mistraluna. Fav point added.

Down this way grabbing a few caches and decided to grab this one. We parked next to gz and started our search. After a few minutes we had the prize in hand. We added our mark to your log and returned your cache back to its place of hiding. Great urban hide, favourite point coming up when I get a new batch. TFTC Mistraluna.

Out with axell33 for some caches and now it’s getting dark and we’re both hungry so this is the last. A quick search and axell33 had it. Good hide here. TYFTC.

Came back after a DNF, TFTC

Checked on this one today and guess what - it is still there, as originally placed.

Was still in place all along!

Yes, D2 is ok.

###Cache Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO, Mistraluna.

The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 30 days to see if either

- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken

**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Thank you

Dnf

️

We were there for ages couldn’t find

We were there for a while but couldn’t catch our eyes

.

Found. Only took a couple of minutes. Thanks for the cache from the Greene family

Sneaky sneaky. found quickly.
TFTC

Well hidden but did not take me all that long. Must be my day.

I came, I saw, I signed the log. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Cache is in good condition.

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Good hide

Icy pole cap

Found today at 12:45 while replenishing the wine cellar. Cache is in excellent condition, but the tiny plastic bag (40mm x 30mm) needs to be replaced. TNLN SL TFTC Mistraluna.

Wtf where is is jeez

Happy to avenge a previous dnf here.
Another hot day forecast so we once again headed out early to do a spot of caching.
TFTC Mistraluna this is find #8689 for us.

Hunting for morning smiles with GeoTrekky, took a few minutes. Enjoyed fishing for this one thanks to the camo. TFTC - Mistraluna - Find #444

Great hide enjoyed fishing for this one. Found with MAP194 TFTC

TFTC

Nice bit of fishing
Thanks for keeping us out of muggle view eventually

Took a few minutes to find. Happy to put a smiley face here. TFTH

we found it in about 10 minutes

Really happy to come back during the day and more experienced now. Happy to turn this frown upside down TFTC

After walking around I passed by the hide but Geotrakka came after me and found it first

Tftc

Oh dear first one we did not find ever!

HELL YES!! I found within a few seconds. To be fare i sat in the car for 10minutes thinking every possible clever spot that would be a quick grab but hidden well. TFTC... i have thought about doing this one multiple times after a DNF a few yrs ago.

Came for a look in the night - will come back in the day for a better look

Working nearby so decided to try and find a cache in my lunch hour. Too many muggles and too many spider webs here had to dnf

Yahoo, I always hate looking in busy places so this morning I was up early and off to find this cache and find it I did.

TFTC. Mistraluna

this one is too good for us. Will return another day with fresh eyes

2nd for the year. A lot easier than last look here. Thinking about things much better. No need to put your hands in the huge piles of rubbish or get your knees dirty.

Found with Alex

Dropped in to check on this one on my way home from town. All good - cache is just where I placed it.

First place I looked! Must be getting better at this... Muggles saw me exit - very suss! TfTC!

Cheeky little find after a pint at cobbies

Well today might be unlucky (Friday the 13th) for some but we managed to find this cache so a good day for us. Not my favourite type of cache with the rubbish lying about but we got there.

My first cache founded with help from dranyer

found it with wavikki cool TFTC [ ]

What a great find!

Well done mistraluna great spot. Keep looking people.

Will log later. TFTC!!

Cache is safe and sound, just where it should be, awaiting the next geocacher to come along who has his or caching eyes open.

Looked everywhere with rainbow scjaz but failed to locate this one. It appears your caches are too difficult for us Mistraluna! Tftc

Can't be bothered with these caches anymore. Supposed to be easy and they're just time consuming and no fun. Mistraluna needs to rate the difficulty higher as they are far from a quick and easy find

Yay. Didn't think we'd fond this one but Lots of perseverance found it safe and dry. TFTC

Nearly gave up when we found it! Still there, nice and dry! Tftc!

Second time no find. Need to be checked?

Quick look around. Lot of leaf litter or it may be gone. Got asked to leave by the shop manager.

Out for a big day caching to start off the new year and try to beat our record for most finds in a day! We managed to beat our record and only had 4 DNF's for the whole day, go us. Had a great time exploring this area.

So funny story... FINALLY made the find, had the log signed and ready to return back to its hiding place when local working muggles from the shops decided they had heaps of garbage to get rid off!! so there is Kagers17 kneeling down, cache in hand, trying desperately to think of a cover story to explain what we were doing if we were spotted! needless to say we shot out of there as soon as the coast was clear hahaha! Favourite point just for the adventure and this is find #350 for us. TFTC SL

Me and my boyfriend finally got what it was haha

This specific geocash said it was located in a house which we are unable to enter.

This is an excellent hide, done very well, in an less than ideal area that is surrounded by broken glass and refuse. It is a high muggle are which, in itself presented a challenge, but as most of the muggle were preoccupied with their brown paper bags, we were able to make the quick find and get on our way.
Thanks Mistraluna for the caching adventure
