As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Found this one on the 28/4/14 with Axell33 & folssee. Just noticed I hadn't logged it when I was checking local caches. Tyftc Team Birk. Sorry about the late log.

Cache has gone missing will replace and update co-ordinates.

Waited out muggles but no luck.

Had a good look both sides of the path & all around the flower beds under the bushes & could not find it.

Looked under all the bushes near the seats and rubbish bin. This was my second visit but I still couldn't find it.

Found it and STL.
TFTH.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Easy find. Amazing little park. Dog enjoyed climbing over the play set!

Found it pretty easy, seeing the Geodog ran through the bush and we heard a plastic sound as he trod on it. Lovely park. TFTC Team Birk

2nd find yay!

1st find very exciting .

Visiting our Auntie for a sleepover thought we should have a look
pancake bros., 26-4-2014!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Checked GZ today cache all good still in place, Junior checked a week ago as a few no finds bit all is good.
Need to look a little harder

Muggle kids rocked up! Just as im about to replace!!! Baaarrggghh!
Nice park to sit under a tree n relax, did get swooped by a maggie thou!
Easy find if u take a second to sit back n think!

We have tried several times to locate this geocache, but have not had any luck locating it

Spent a while looking for it. Its mising

Decided today was my caching day so a drive up from Bunbury with a crappy looking sky but I was determined to at least knock a few off my list.

I was getting really frustrated when at this one but only because I wanted a quick find as time was ticking by ever so fast (why does it always seem to go faster when out caching?).

Now if I had cleared my mind and thought "Where would I put this cache" I would have found it in a minute flat but I was too busy thinking about what other caches I could try to con muggle partner into driving me too before he called it quits and we headed home.

Relaxed a quick find after that [^]

Find 16/19 for today and 1 dnf

TFTC

Can't remember seeing a TB in this cache. As you live locally it wouldn't hurt just to double check as it was near the end of a long day.

cheers

Great hide tftc

Found our first travelbug with 2 path tags inside. One from sydney and the other from adelaide....taken bug to help it on its journey.

And another lovely park and landscaping! Spotted the cache very quickly in the obvious spot - and big enough for a TB as well! Took nothing. Dropped off the Travellin Tupperware TB.
Thanks for the cache Team Birk.

Another nice park area with green lawn looks good... No swap. Signed the log with urch. Thanks Team Birk.

Out driving around aimlessly as one does occasionally and my gps led us here. On approach i knew right away where the cache would be, but had to kill some time (looking busy on my phone) while i waited for some muggles to leave.
Once the find was made, my little mate spent some time sorting through the swag only to settle on a golf ball, yah!
Thanks for the cache team birk.

Found this with mum and my little brother. Day 16 of 31, so far so good.
Thanks for thecache team birk.

While down this way visiting family we grabbed a couple of caches. This took a little longer than it should have. SL TNLN TFTC

Out with my dad (jinta29) to collect souvenir 9 for August 2013. This was a nice easy find in a nice park. We did not get to enjoy it though because of the yukky weather. Also we are building a house just down the road from here so we visited our block. TFTC Team Birk.

Day 9 of the August 2013 challenge and we headed to this nice little park. We are building not too far from here so it was an excuse to see the progress as well. An easy find and the cache is in good condition. TFTC Team Birk

Nice quick find!

TFTC SL.

[:(!] The geowife asked "What are we doing today", before I could utter a word, the geowife replied "Lets do some geocaching", so we took off for a six hour geocaching run and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked the short distance to GZ, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH Team Birk.

Cache all good and back in place

Not found since 20/4/13
multiple DNF's
Disabled 27/4/13
no action from CO

Undergoing maintenance will be back up soon!

Today I took my grandson and geosister out for some caching. My sister has been with me before but has no geo name, so that was the first thing to do before we tackled our caches. I figure if you are going to find them, you may as well get a smiley for your troubles.
Had a look the best I could without walking over foliage but nothing sighted.

TFTH anyway Team Birk

This is my first official day out caching. Went with my sister Skippy46 and although we looked under the shrubs around GZ we couldn't find it.

Out and about for a caching run with Keego and AmstradKid in the Baldivis area. Our first look was interrupted by a family arriving just after we started searching so we headed off hoping to return. When we did return the coast was clear but no luck and with lunch calling we continued on our way.

Thanks Team Birk.

Out and about with Amstradid, Jazl and ShortcutHicksy, for a Baldivis cache run this morning. We spent a bit of time searching here, but no luck, far too many places to search, we were here earlier but muggles and their kiddies were here. Poor vegetation is taking a beating..

A mornings caching run with Keego and ShortcutHicksy in the Baldivis area.
Was muggles in play area and came back later.
Not at GZ and there is a lot of ground cover and could see damage we were doing so gave it away.

Quick Find With Shayne'o

Tftf!

Plenty of building going on in this area. Met a South African couple who have just moved to Australia and bought a house nearby. Thanks for the cache.

Enjoying a lovely ride through the area. Thanks for this hide Team Birk.

The better half and I had tried for this cache when we were last in the area but couldn't even start because of a curious young muggle playing nearby. Today I had the place to myself and made a quick find.

Thanks Team Birk for the cache.

Waited for a gap in the skateboarding crowd to make a quick find. Nice trees here. TFTC.

A lovely park that was deserted today due to the scorching heat. This was opportune for us as we needed to extend our search and eventually located the cache 5 mts from where our gps indicated.

Found the cache approx 5mts from where our GPS was indicating. No Muggles around on this very hot day so searching was not an issue. TFTC.

Looking for a cache on my way shopping, this turned out to be the lucky one... And reading other logs, it seems really lucky as I had no problems with the Garmin Nuvi guiding me there...

I wandered around for a little while trying to establish a GZ according to the hint which could have been many places After a few minutes I found the cache complete with snails and ants!! Luckily the park was empty so I sat on the seat to sign the log.

Nice park here Team_Birk and TFTC [^] Cache is in good condition and dry, GPSr had me 5m away...

Tftc swapped trinkets and signed log.

Was out caching with my dad (Kyzabra) and found this with him.

I only just activated my premium account so am going back to mark my finds.

Sorry about the late log

You are right about the navigation......left, right, left, u-turn....etc
Eventually found the park and Geoson made the find.
Signed the log, left a horse and took a ball.
TFTH Team Birk

I agree with the previous posters, the location is at least a 3 difficulty to find! Once I finally arrived at GZ there were no muggles in sight so I made a quick find. TFTC! Note: Anthony St does not go through to Smirk, despite what google maps says

Found @ 09:13!

Find #04 on a morning of caching East of Lake Walyungup!

Nice little park here! I walked down to the bottom to look for GZ and eventually found the cache one step off the hardground. The listed coordinates were maybe 5 metres out...

TFTC!

A quick and easy grab in a very nice park, interesting to see the Avalon estate as we always thought it would be big rural blocks - not another extension of Settlers Hills! Took some navigation to find our way back home! TFTC, SL

After a quick scout around in the general vicinity we had the cache in hand.
Took for ever to find how to get in here though, so many streets on google maps that havent been built yet!

The hardest part of the cache hide was finding the location, the surrounding streets not in my Navman or Street Directory, so a meandering trip there using my smartphone. Maybe some basic driving instructions would be helpful ? Looked and looked, GZ was out on my GPSr, about to give up, thought about the hint a bit more, then bingo !!! Nice hide, however signs of geotraffic. TNLN SL TFTC

TFTC - this was an easy find with one of the grandchildren in tow, so made some swaps. Gotta love it. Few muggles around but manged to re-hide the GZ without too much trouble. Nice little park and a lovely area.

Was an easy find TFTC

Found it on our way home from school tftc

On the Monday morning hunt
Thanks geokiddo

What an epic effort to get to the park! You know all those suburban roads on the Geocaching map around this cache, half of them have not yet been built . So after much trial and error[:o)], we finally arrived (Avalon is a mystic place that can't be found by memory ).
Arrived at GZ to find an open hard surface, doubled checked to make sure that I had not entered in the wrong co-ords - yep all good. Had a quick search dodging the skateboard muggles, no luck. Read the logs, no that didn't help. Hmmm... swapped search areas and Geowife spotted what I had missed! Two steps only off the hard surface but about 5m off GZ for us. Geokids did a swap.

TFTC Team Birk

Mr & Mrs Felix making a quick raid on some Rockingham caches.

We arrived at GZ to find a lady and her daughter using the playground.

They soon moved on once we arrived. Are we that scary?

Anyway's once they were gone it didn't take long to track down the cache.

TFTC Team Birk

A quick find while geokid junior enjoyed the playground. One of my friends used to live here until the developers got the land. It amazing to think that this area used to be huge blocks. It is still a beautiful area. We left a geocaching australia moveable, Michigan j frog (ga1601) here to continue traveling.

I was at home this morning when geowife asked if I was going for a cache this afternoon. Not having had that much time to do so lately, I jumped at the chance!! Russell's Army came around to have a piece of cake for geoson's birthday and I asked if the geodad from that family wanted to come along for the wander. He also jumped at the chance, so we headed out just after lunch.

Before we headed out to collect some Wonder Women caches, we came by here so I could make the find. Unfortunately there were way too many muggles inthe park so we headed off. When we came back, there was nobody around so Russell's Army let me take point as he had already found it. Sure enough the find was rather easy and I signed the log to end a good days finding.

Thanks for the Team Birk

Cheers

Easy find and a nice park. Dropped off TB and signed the log. TFTH

This was the last on my to do list for the afternoon. Had anticipated a relatively quick find, but I had to expand my search when the immediate area my gps took me to proved to be cache-less. Am sad to report that this one is in a spot that is already showing signs of wear from cachers having to search among the plantings. Did my best not to do anymore damage, but I don't think the plants here will tolerate much more man-handling. Might be an idea to choose another hiding spot where the beauty of this little park will not be compromised. Took TB and made other swaps. Thanks for bringing me to a spot I hadn't visited before

Out getting a few caches in the area. TFTC!

Found it but had to come back to it as the gardners were working around the GZ area and they must of thought why are two adults staring at the play ground and the nearby plants ???

Thanks guys glad you enjoyed the find, junior Birk will be happy with his first hide.

*FTF* at 1700. What a hoot. FFTF. While searching the GZ another treasue hunter turned up.(Rudi63) After muggles left we had cache in hand with joint FTF and the rest is history.

Cheers Team Birk and of course Rudi63

Cooking dinner for the tribe and the phone chimes, an email, can only be a new cache. I checked the listing and saw that it was close by. Stove turned off, and into the car. GPS in hand, smartphone for details, I drove to the park; not having driven this way for a while I did not realize that the estate had spread this way.

Arrived at the GZ to see some others close by, luckily it was Russell's Army, they were looking for a "lost Football". Once the coast was clear and the the chat completed. The cache was found.

Joint *FTF* with Russell's Army, signed the log, took nothing, left nothing, Thanks Team Birk for the cache and bringing me to this new park.
