I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, benson_boys, 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 Required please.##
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance).

If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.

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 out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Thank you

Cool

As has been said previously cache is in need of some TLC. I spotted a pill container on my walk to the cache and bought it with me in hopes of finding the log sheet.
However all I found was a container and plastic bag in various states of disintegration.
Have left the pill bottle for future hunters but a log sheet will be needed.

Thanks benson_boys for placing PT 58 Cerium for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 16:33 on 10/2/2022.
This is find number 4047 for me.

Container in multiple pieces and no log to sign at the moment.

In total disrepair.
Needs replacing

I took the advantage of the dodgy weather we have had this week and cycled a bit more of the cycle path. Some of the caches need maintenance as I logged 9 DNF’s and 29 finds. The path has been pruned in areas this has contributed to difficulty in finding some. I saw my first cyclist after 20 caches but by the end of the arvo there were a few more dog walkers and mamils (middle aged men in lycra).

I enjoyed my ride and had a few sprinkles of rain though it started pelting 500m from the car on return.

TFTC loubla (originally) and now Benson Boys

I couldn’t find the bag containing the broken cache container.

Easy find although I thought it was rubbish at first. TFTC

Thanks Benson_Boys for the cache. It needs a little love and attention. The container is broken but the log hook is still dry and serviceable.

Bottle broken, found in a bag,

Very easy but it was broken

A little of the track .

Hi there benson_boys. Today was going to be cooler so I pumped up the tyres and headed out on the freeway south from Beeliar Drive. All caches were found quickly - and the containers and logs are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to benson_boys for this cache - our find 8366

Out and about on the bike today to complete some caches along the freeway. Quick find here TFTC

TFTC

Out and about with Thro60clan to collect the rest of the caches we need to catch those dastardly villains for the Mystery at the Museum. We decided it would be easiest to ride this trail after catching the train down. After splitting into teams of two we alternated caches down to Aubin Grove station, occasionally stopping to help each other find the caches. Some finds were easier than others. Some required a bit more of a thorough search. All in all a great day with beautiful weather.
Mrs. D with the find here. Tftc

So the most caches that we have found in a day up until now was 19... but with only 1 day to go for the Mystery at the Museum to be completed a plan was hatched with thronsy.4 to tackle a section of this power trail.
Take the train to Kwinana (after reducing our crew to 4 - to streamline finds) and cycle to Auburn Grove grabbing all the caches on the way (totaling 33 finds and 1 DNF ) and then take the train back.
Pleased to say we now have a new record 33 finds. (Not as good as some others but still something. )
TFTC and thanks for keeping this series alive.
——————————————————————————

a glorious morning for a ride and chance to pick up a few caches on the way..all good here cache and log in good condition. tftc

Doing the walk from auburn grove to Kwinana. Thanks for all the caches

Quick one

With our bicycles we made the series from the elements.
Here we began with Nr. 49 and are able to find every cache. Some logbook was wet, than we spent a new sheet of paper. So it was an successful day and we had a lot of fun.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

Out grabbing a few of the periodic series between Aubin Grove and Kwinana, as well as an assortment of caches around the Kwinana, Parmelia and Wellard areas. Ended the day with 49 finds. All caches were in good condition, unless otherwise stated below.

Found with no issues. Cheers!

Found in the logical type of place for this preform cache.
Thanks

Post-adoption cache check complete!

#10 for the arvo. Nice wildflowers nearby today.

Tftc

With Parkacruz and myself on grandparent duty we thought that we would tackle a bit more of the Periodic Table and a few others along the way, hoping to get as many souvenirs as possible for Yeatesy89 and Piknik15, we only had one dnf for the day and managed a variety of finds. So I'm not sure who is more tired, but I know that the pram must of put on at least 10 kilos by the end of the day. tftc

Out today with Nann ( Neva2old) and Parkacruz who had piknik15 with them, we had a great day caching and playing in the parks along the way. My legs are sore now. tftc

A fun filled day in the sun with Piknik15, Neva2old and yeatesy89, happy to say we came up trumps and walked away with a smilie TFTC

Out with Nanny & Poppy aka Parkacruz, neva2old and yeatesy89 to find some geocaches, a fun day and we even got to do a water cache TFTC

Another quick one again All ok

Thank you bittgirls

We are visiting from Adelaide and staying nearby at our rellies. They kindly leant us their electric power assist bikes. So we headed out to try the bikes and tied in some caching. It was a glorious day to be out and about. TFTC and the series

Filling in a section of the freeway we have missed today. Taking advantage of beautiful weather. Hubby dropped us off at Rowley Road and miss 15 and I are walking with Miss 4 and miss 2 in strollers and miss 9months in her carrier to the Aubin Grove Train station.

Another nice easy find. Tftc

Quick grab on morning ride. Tftc

See Hafnium (72) for more information. TFTC

Recently I have been getting back into cycling after taking a break for a couple of years. Today I was keen to get back out onto the freeway path to shake of the cobwebs. I cached the section between Russell Road to Thomas Road with only 2 DNFs for the day. Almost all found containers were in good condition and found relatively easily. TFTC loubla and BlaKids

nice find second of the day

Good little mission but spiky

Apologies for the super late log, doing a catch up today. Nice quick find whilst beginning the huge assault on the freeway caches. Tftc

Sadly work and the festive season has interfered with our caching this month and with just a couple of days to go until the end of the month some serious caching needed to be had.
Whilst Mrs fratra headed off to work Mr fratra jumped on his new bike and hit the Freeway cycle path to hunt down some periodic table caches.
He rode from just after Cockburn central south to Thomas Rd and managed 34 finds and 3 dnfs.
TFTC loubla, maintained by BlaKids this is find # 3828 for us.

Completing just a short section of this trail today TFTH hopefully soon I will complete the entire trail

Walked in circles for a bit but found it eventually!

Looked all around, could not find it

Nice quick find. Out on the bikes. Hoping to complete the series today. TFTC

A day of geocaching along the kwinanna freeway, today I want to do from Aubin grove to kwinanna stations

Number 9 also signed off, making good time as well

Tftc

Back out on the Periodic trail again, this time just to "plug the gaps" left by some missing caches. This was the first find of the Day. Thanks for replacing them TFTC

Cool cache

Cerium - Periodic Table was transferred from loubla to user BlaKids

Replace & moved cache.

Coordinates changed from:
S 32° 10.620 E 115° 51.388

Coordinates changed to:
S 32° 10.620 E 115° 51.387

Distance from original: 5.3 feet or 1.6 meters.

Move cached to a better location. Things change over time.

Did a wide search, but no luck with this one, I'm afraid.

Found the cache and replaced it in a better location. See the coords in this log for the current location. Will update the actual coords when LouBla passes the cache over to me.

I could not find your cool cache.

Our second DNF of the day. I hate blue faces on my otherwise perfect strip of yellow heading down the Kwinana Fwy! I'll keep a watch on this one and see if I might be able to redeem myself on a later visit. Thanks anyway

Out with geogypsys for another great day of caching. Must have planned this well, coming up from Busselton to do these this weekend - the coolest weekend for a while.
Puff puff...
TFTC

A caching weekend with Pood, found on Friday after work. TFTC

2nd find of the day

Thank you! Out to do the Kwinana station to Cockburn station section of the series with sabs20 on a warmer than expected morning. Most were found without too much trouble.

Tftc

I decided to come out here this morning with the goal of reaching 700 finds and completing some more cycle path caches. It took About 90 minutes one way (while caching) and 15 minutes back. I had a few people ask me if I was alright, which I responded with a yes. It's nice to see how many caring people there are.

loubla, I found your cache ‘Cerium - Periodic Table’ today. It was the thirteenth find of twenty-six finds with five DNF’s and brings my total count to 693.

The caches were found in a good condition (though some were a little wet and one had no container) so I signed the log books and replaced them as I found them. Thanks for the hides and the effort put into maintaining this series. It makes for a great power trail.

All good and dry.
Wow, a cool forecast for late December. A great opportunity to get out and bag a pile of caches today. Took the bike out on the trails today to see the sights.
This was find number 16 today at 8:55. Not sure how many I will find but way more than any previous single day.

Quick find TFTH

Enjoyed the Saturday afternoon stroll along Freeway South of Russell Road to pick up several of the “Periodic Table”. Thanks for the cache loubla

Quick find. Thanks for the cache loubla.

#212

Quick find on our afternoon walk

Note: this one damaged, needs replacing.
Thank you for the cache series!

tftc loubla

I have been looking at the periodic table series of caches for some time now. Since I have decided to complete a challenge I need the numbers hence the reason for the run today. I took the day off work and co=opted a couple of fellow cachers, Lazarus_68 and Dezzabills. I thought a couple of days would finish the series off, So today we set off early on our pushbikes with the idea of completing as many as we could manage. As it turns out we made it all the way to the end. We were very fortunate to find the caches quicker than expected. So to sum up the day we found 117 caches in the periodic table and a couple of extras along the way giving me a grand total of 119 for the day. Not bad if I say so myself, and surprisingly there were no DNF's so all in all a great day. The ride down from home in Como took us 6 hours and 58 minutes. While my fellow cachers took the train home I toughed it out and rode home in just over 2 hours. We stopped several times down and back for a break and a bite to eat to refuel the bodies.

This was the 59th find of 119 for the day and was found at 11:51AM Thanks BlaKids/loubla for the cache. hhheddy

Found Cerium. TFTH loubla.

Tftc container is broken Cheers

Out to complete a little more of this series. Found 9 today as we took the geodog for a long walk. This was number 2. Cache in good condition. Tftc.

Went out for a bike ride with jackyleggs, we rode almost 30 kms
It was good exercise, but we pulled up a bit sore.
Tftc

Out for a ride today, to pick up some caches, and what a misson it was. Started at Cockburn shopping centre,and finished off at Baldivis, 26 km of pain. 76 finds and 3 dnfs for the day.Thanks to Roma308 for joining the misson.Tftc sl tnln.

I was heading back to Perth after a mammoth bike ride and had been thinking about how to find the cache I needed for today. I didn't have a pen with me which meant I would have to find a cache with a pen in it on the bike path which is not always easy. And I wasn't going to go caching once I got home.

So it was very fortunate when I spotted a fellow cacher on the side of the bike path! I stopped and asked if I could sign the log too. I didn't need a pen because my friend had one, and I didn't even have to find the cache!! I was back on my way home within minutes.

TFTC SL.

Nice day to progress with some caches.
Thank you

Another quick find amongst a lot of ants
TFTGC

Having reached our 3,000 and enjoyed the previous outing to get the first 40 of this series we decided to tackle the stretch from Cockburn Central to Kwinana. It was a warmer day so by the time we reached Kwinana we were ready to call it a successful day.
At a couple of caches we found 2 containers, so we signed the log on one and took the other which we then used to replace other broken ones further along. We also replaced a couple of logs as well and dropped in one of our tagz in a couple of caches. All up the series is in reasonable condition.

Thanks for the cache loubla [^] - Didn't need to hold onto that extra container for long as this one was in a bad state so left the extra good one we picked up at the last cache.

This was find # 17 of 40 and 5 today giving us a total cache count of 3017.

Up in Perth for a week from Albany, this trail was number one on the list of things to do. Starting in Perth and riding south we managed to find most caches in the series with only 4 that we couldn't find! We had some test tubes of our own which we replaced with some of the more broken containers but unfortunately didn't have enough to replace them all. Thanks for the epic series guys and also for maintaining them so well!

Tftc but needs new container

Muggles zooming by in both directions !!!! I was pretending to video airliners flying over head; walking in one direction past the GZ and a soon as one mg would pass I'd go to turn back to GZ and there'd be another!!! and I could see it every time I passed back and forth trying to get a grab at it - talk about peak hour on the cycle path!! best fun ever - TFTC

Given a whole day to go caching in Perth the inner scientist in Freddo could not resist the geeky awesomeness of a Periodic Table PT. With bicycle supplied by .K.B. I travelled by train to Kwinana and folllowed the trail of elements from one end to the other. The cache finds ranged from seen as I arrived, to hides that have me looking for twice the 3 minutes I had allowed. Some caches were replaced. A few caches were unfound and will stand as DNF's.
I know these elements. My job as a metallurgist means that I deal with a large portion of the common 92 at work. There was a sense of pride reeling them off. And then there was the joy of cruising along on a bike on a beautiful winter day that actually feels like an Indian summer.

Day fifty seven of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747.
We loaded up the deadly treadlies after dropping the car off for it's service in Fremantle and hit the Periodic Table Series trail at Bull Creek. We worked our way south until we came to where we had finished up a month ago (about #66), then jumped the train at Kwinana for the trip back to Bull Creek. We then completed the last four elements heading north to Perth.
Unfortunately a large collection of DNFs, and one replacement container, and a few replacement logs.
Lovely day for a ride though, and (apart from the DNFs) loved the trail.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 8248. Day 2 of our week in Fremantle and Rob's car is in for a service at Melville. We decided to try to finish off the Periodic Table series that we started in late April, by riding down the trail to Kwinana Station and catching the train back to Bull Creek Station before riding back to the Ford Dealer. It turned out to be a 38km day, not altogether successful with 57 smilies and frustratingly, 10 DNFs.

We replaced a couple of logs and one container, but some of the other logs have got rather damp and are looking mouldy and a big time-worn although generally there are plenty of spots left for signing.

Thanks loubla

NEF. TFTC

Found it but forgot a pen!!!

Headed Off early this morning on my scooter to complete a big section of this series.
My goal is to get my 1000 before the holidays end and this made a huge imapct on it.

Started at Einsteinium at 8.00am, 3 1/2 hours later I finished at Zirconium at 11.30am.
60 Finds in hand and No DNFs

Most being easy finds. A couple of hunts took some time but all in all a great morning.

Had to replaced a couple as they were broken.

Thanks BlaKids and loubla for this awesome series.
Sorry about the generic logs but its hard to remember all of them in a power trail.

I found it. I left my mark. I replaced it and I left. TFTC. The cache is damaged.
