One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will 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.

A new fence has been put up so you are no longer able to get to this cache, a bit sad this was a favourite of mine, we will look at moving it to a more accessable area.

I've been meaning to come past here and grab this one for a while now and finally had the chance to tonight after work. As I was in my work clothes, heels probably weren't the best option but alas, no other choice. Found after a quick search and thankfully before the rain started. TFTC Surprised)

The 3rd one for today while in the area picking up a cache for our day 24 of 31 Geocaching August 2013 souvenirs.

The kids were excited to find a decent sized cache and took couple of pieces out and then loaded it back up from their new swag bags we have made.

[:(!] After attending church we had to take our two geogranddaughters (Owers Corner) who had spent the night with us back to Northam and on our way we picked up a couple of caches along the way and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ we had the cache in hand in a matter of minutes.

First WA caches in an embarrassing long time! Finally back in God's country and had an hour or two before darkness descended so got stuck into a few caches before heading for home.
And this was the lucky last one for the day, as daylight had now almost flown. Left another pathtag for luck. Thanks for another cache MikEmMoo.

23-Sep-12
Great terrain to be on my MTB. My bike handling skills leave alot to be desired so I did managed to get bogged on the way in. Had some fun exploring the tracks before riding to nearest cache. Thanks for the cache MikEmMoo; I had a quick look at the interesting photo.
 
17-Sep-12
Going by past logs, thought this would be a quick and easy one for the kids to do after school. Well our gps told us we were in the right spot, the hint told us we were in the right spot, but there was no cache. The spoiler image showed it would have been a real treasure trove, which is why I thought it would be a good one for the kids. Disappointed. Sad
 
12-Sep-12
Hahaha kids love it!
 
12-Sep-12
Came back with the kids for a second go to find this one!
 
12-Sep-12
Wow, what a cool spot that I never knew existed! Found the cache quickly with no problems, and I took the Emu travel bug.

Published
 
21-Jul-12
FTF AT 11:49
We were out and about when I started to see caches being published so we pulled over and waited to see if any were published nearby and after waiting a while we decided that it didn't look like we would have one published nearby
But then after getting back to kalamunda this was published so we rushed down the hill to get a quick FTF and some killer deals at the nearby garage sale

I was looking for a larger cache to drop off a TB and saw this one! Mr Swaggie used to go to the speedway here when he was much. much younger!
