Can the owner please, replace or disable this cache as there is no cache there to be found. The cache has not been found since March 2013. Previous finders have searched and is looks as if there is no cache to be found. This a great spot in tourist area of Esperance it would be a shame to archive but it is need some owner intervention.
Had a good look for this today and no luck. Several DNF since May can the cache owner check or archive please.
We were greeted by the man in the shop and told its not there any more. Pity.
On a WA road trip with Geo-rge, Miss Jane & EMDH.
No luck with this one
I think this needs a CO check

I came out very early in the morning to try and find this one, and there was no one else around. The GPS took me to the green sign, with the bushes around it, so I checked here, but after looking at the hint I checked the bench seat nearby, looking under, around, and also on the ground in case it had fallen, but I couldn't find the cache.
DNF @ 11:30...
Looked at everything near GZ that seemed to suit the hint, but no luck...
TFTC anyway, I had not been to this part of Esperance before!

My GPS was quite accurate today, and despite using the clue, plus checking with the shop owners (who knew what I was talking about and helped me search), the cache was nowhere to be found. I strongly suspect it has gone. Owner should check !!
Had a real good look but to no avail the shop keeper spotted me and said it was there a few days ago but I couldn't see it ;(
A quick find of cache 
, but a not so quick removal of the log 
(took us nearly 15 min) as it was jammed in there so tight, but all's well that ends well. TFTC

A nice, quick find in a high muggle area. Certainly needed the tweezers today

Here from Canada, doing a bit of caching as we explore Australia....
Had to be stealthy with all the muggles about.
Thanks for the hide Hodg-jo!

Down in Esperance visiting friends. Took the boys out for a come and try and they loved it. This one was tricky for the boys to find.
we stopped in to get some information at the information and I checked the GPS and saw this one close by. The geowife went shopping in the speep shopo while I had a rest on the bench. Pity it was in the sun. Had the log signed and the cache replaced by the time my wife had finished browsing.

Found on a very busy day with muggles everywhere. Stealth prevailed.
Thanks Hodg-jo.
Thanks Hodg-jo.
We were sat in the landrover eating and noticed that some geocachers were hovering about in front of the sheep shop. As we had not found this cache I hopped out and went over to join them. With the hint and a knowing nod from the shop owner the cache was soon found. TFTC. I think we were the last to sign the log book. TFTC and good luck to the new Esperance geocaching family.
Found with Kool Running. Easy find after stopping and reflecting for a minute. A quiet day with few muggles around the Visitors Centre.
Out on a geocaching getaway with barnzy12. From Perth to Kalgoorlie to Esperance back to Perth in 3 days. Tftc.
TFTC. Found on a caching trip with Cravo10 from Perth to Kalgoorlie, Esperance and everywhere else along the way.
Found with BlaKids on a mega road trip from the Stirlings to Esperance to Wave rock. Thanks for taking us here. TFTC
Coming from a multi day stay in the Stirlings and heading to Cape Le Grand. Stopping in town to do some washing, shopping and caching! Good to find so many here. TFTH.
We enjoyed a muggle free search, needed to use the hint to find it though. TFTC Hodg-jo.
Nice little cache to complete our short visit to your lovely town of Esperance, shame we hadn't time to do and see more. Thank you. 
Market day added to the challenge oh whoops dropped something clue made it achievable tftn
did not find, co-ordinates kept taking us to the big lavender bush at the front of the shop, which was crawling with bees. As my son is allergic we weren't hanging around there for long. Might need to check the co-ordinates
A quick find then sat and enjoyed the sun for a few minutes. Checked out the shop and made a purchase before leaving. Thanks.
TFTC. Easy find on a Saturday arvo but doubt it would be that easy on a market Sunday!!
The coordinates had me looking in a lavender bush in front of the sheep shop. Please check
A few muggles about but easily found without being obvious. Another FTF! Thanks for the hide
