Tftc coordinates are a bit off but overall pretty good suggest taking a photo on top of poles to see where it is
Last find for me for the day whilst passing through the area. Performed signing duties and returned the cache to where it was found. Thanks @Sticks_scouts for placing Scout bug for the GC community to find !!
Found it with Pro_appolo a couple of months ago. hard to get to and a good spot.
Pretty good spot but lots of muggles around. Would be tricky to find without the hint! TFTC
Loved this one. Kids are getting better at searching. Elastic band is getting a bit brittle. We added a little turtle.
Out and about with Mr CONVERTING greens to yellow.. getting in some caches before the weather turns again ...love that greyish / blue cloudy sky TFTC
Thanks Sticks for the cache. Cute little Woolies Lego man inside My daughter wanted to take it, but we left it there with some little butterfly stickers to keep it company.
Cool cache container. Final found this cache after it being muggled 2 time. TFTC
It was hard to find which pillow it was then I got in on to orange lids with rubber band hanging out
Teamed up with a motley crew for a fun day cleaning up the northern suburbs. Appropriately signed as NYE23.
Following an eventful day with activities at Woodman's Point and securing a "first to find" in Beeliar, our geocaching escapade continued as we swiftly made our way up to Alkimos. The mission: cleaning up and exploring the array of new geocaches dotting the northern suburbs. The rush to cover these new caches infused the journey with an adrenaline-filled excitement, eagerly anticipating the diverse challenges and discoveries awaiting us in this northern stretch. All caches were signed as team NYE23, our appropriate team name for a New Years Eve caching adventure.Quick and easy find here. Cool spot to hide it. Cheers Sticks_scouts!
50th FIND ,the cache quite creative perfect for our 50th find, cache is a bit brittle. TFTC
Out and about again, headed north to visit family and grabbed some caches whilst up here (as not much around south of river to get).Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds todayThanks to all the COs for the hides I found.
Found it TFTC. Have been call pass randomly early morning for the last couple of weeks with no luck. Hes yellow now.
Suffered a bit from wind interference, but has been placed in its original position
After such a long time this geocache has lasted without being muggled. It's a shame to have the butterfly taken. A new geocache is in place.
Like West Coast Eagles player Jeremy McGovern I raced (slowly) across the field to the cache place. But unlike Jeremy I was not tall enough to reach where I thought it would be.
Thanks sticks_scouts anyway.

###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 Sticks_scouts 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 you
