Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Mistraluna, 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 Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Investigate the situation and either restore the cache, or address any other issues, such as correcting the D/T rating if necessary.
* 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 Mistraluna 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 there, and 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

Another arvo of rolling down SWH dodging traffic and nabbing a few caches.
I was here at knock off for the refinery and traffic was streaming out. Spent two minutes tops here and come up empty handed.

Found on the ground, recent weather may have misplaced it. I've hidden it at approx location may need maintenance.
Doing some quick park and find caches with Geotrekky whilst M was at a short training course in Pinjarra. Love the idea behind the series, our first ever find was placed by WA K Team. TFTC - Mistraluna - #446
Didn’t search too long for this one surprisingly. Thanks Mistraluna for placing this here
Beautiful day and the first of no rain for the week. Thanks for bringing me to this road - beautiful trees. Thanks for placing this - grabbed it on my way back from Fairbridge.
Was not keen on locating this cache even though in obvious spot. With cameras and trucks entering all around us. A sign stated Private property. Found with The X-Trailers
Caching with Earthlight who was not very happy in doing this cache due to signs by gz
I searched in the obvious spot and lcated the cache
All good but very busy with the comings of trucks

Today I was in Pinjarra for a bike race, and after the race (and some recovery) I stayed around to find a few caches on the way home. It was a stinking hot day, the car was showing over 41 degrees.
I really like the SWH series, and was happy to make a quick and easy find here.!
Thanks for the cache Mistraluna!

Geocycled up from Pinjarra on the bicycle path other side of highway. Couldn't find it and then suddenly it was staring right at me. Great spot for a cache. TFTC.
A nice quick find whilst heading home after visiting the area for the chilli festival TFTC
Where shall I cache today? The weather wasn't looking too good so I opted for some park and grabs and headed down the highway. This one has been missed out so many times due to the amount of traffic at the intersection. All was quiet today so I seized the opportunity to go in for the hunt. After checking all the obvious spots at GZ I expanded my search and voila! With cache signed and replaced I made a quick retreat to the car. The first of 20 for the day with 3 DNFs TFTC Mistraluna
I had to bypass this one earlier in the day because traffic was just too busy and I'd have little justification for being at GZ. Grabbed it on the way back and was relieved no one asked me what I was doing as they all seemed to be consumed with getting home!
Out and about bright and early grabbing some SWH caches. Thanks to the COs that have placed and maintain these for our caching pleasure.
TFTC Mistraluna this is find # 2437 for us.

After parking a short distance away I made my way to GZ and quickly had the cache in hand, TFTC.

This was our third full day of caching from our base at Mandurah, a number of the caches we found, belonging to cache series, which seem to be a feature of this part of WA. Others highlighted the history of the locality, all of them taking us to locations we have not previously seen.
Thanks Mistraluna for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Hi there Mistraluna.
We found your cache **"SWH...WA K Team"** at 4:12:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 14940.
Our plan for the day was to complete some of the SWH series, together with a few others that were also close to the highway. We thoroughly enjoyed our drive attempting caches to the left on our way north and picking up the ones we missed on the return trip. We found a variety of container types and sizes hidden along the way, and also managed to pick up a couple of trackables.
Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge if the container was large enough.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

This is the 3rd of 3 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]
We spent quite some time here at around Alcoa knock off time, but we just couldn't locate your cache so here's a DNF from us.

Another fun find with Just-Lookin while on a 3 week geocaching trip around the Perth area.
We really enjoyed the drive around finding caches.
*Soon found.*

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! The caches I am logging in this batch were ones I found during WA Goes Big 2016. In an interest to get completely caught up, I am logging my past finds in bulk. I still have work to do after this, as I need to locate my notes from all of my earthcaches, but once those are in, I should be very close to current. I appreciate all the effort you go through to create and place your hides and do not for one second take it for granted, I just need to get caught up so I can return to my once pleasant logs. Cheers!
Found while in pinjarra for WAGB on a lunch run mission. Thanks for the cache.
These guys are certainly active cache hiders and I have a few of theirs on my found list. Nice to see them included in the tribute caches along this road... [^]
The container eluded me at first as I was focussing on the wrong area and completely overlooked the cache when I scanned the right spot... Yep, I suffer from that occasionally.. I was joined by 2+4 shortly after my arrival, who made their way to where I was standing and immediately pulled the cache from its lair... Oh, that's embarrassing...
We all added out names, they tucked the cache away as I scurried off with my tail between my legs...
Cheers Mistraluna.

The WA Goes Big 2016 event provided the perfect excuse for me to pack up the wife and travel across to get some caches in WA. I have previously cached WA in 2008 (Perth to Geraldton and back) and 2011 (Kunninara) so it was great to head south from Perth this time.
This series was close to where we stayed during the WA goes big event at Pinjarra.
It was great to have such a great range of quality caches close to the event. TFTC.

Found by Mary & David, in convoy with The Coffees, at 1035. Had to go back to Event HQ for another CITO bag to use at each cache stop. Who should we meet here but Two+Four again, who used to live near us in Melbourne many years ago. A lovely orange Grevillea not far away at GZ. Our thanks to Mistraluna.
Out today finding these caches around the event site. We are having a great time and the weather has been good.
Our thanks to Mistralluna for the cache

Out for a day of caching while attending the WA Goes big event. Found the cache with little help from the GPS, as it seemed to take forever to settle down. I had the cache in hand and the GPS was showing 90m to go !. By the time the log was signed it had settled to a more respectable 8m. Thank good need I had looked at the map before hand. Many thanks Mistraluna for the cache.
Having a day of caching with pood. We hope to find many of the caches around Pinjarra and out towards Fairbridge. Thanks Mistraluna.

Found on a fun day caching with Micaparamedic and Ahomburg. We found almost all caches including a couple that had not been found for a while, and a couple of clever hides.
Thought I spotted a likely hide on the way past but by the time I walked back I was doubting it - and it was not where I thought it was. Soon worked out a likely hide and eventually found it once I looked away from the edge! Funny how I get cache blindness so much. Thanks Mistraluna, I've found a couple of WA K Team's caches today so thought it was timely to do this part of the SWH series. Thanks for placing it.
On the 4th day of our WA holiday, we woke up in Fairbridge and after a strong coffee made our way to GZ. After working on the puzzles and meeting other teams, we headed out to do the Car rally. After that we returned to GZ and after a quick fly of the drone, we headed out to do a few caches before dinner. This one was a quick find. TFTC
Saw a suspicious male dresses in possible Alcoa work clothes carrying a package on our arvo caching around this area after celebrating our 5th anniversary climbing trees & completing obstacle courses @ Trees Adventure Park. Cheers
In the area seeking out some solved MS puzzles so made a further detour to pick up these SWH caches on the way home.
Thanks for the cache Mistraluna.

Tried finding this one long ago when new to the hunt... Quickly left that day after obvious home time... =P
Today was a quick grab with my sister Kylestell, very happy to leave with a smiley this time... Thanks for the cache. ..

TFTC! Spent the morning grabbing a few caches with my sister Elliott & Hilliard Kids Nice quick find here.
Running up the numbers today in readiness of my 3000th find in Albany next week. Had a go at my unfound SWH caches down to Pinjarra and then some Greek Alphabets on the way back plus a few others here and there.
Found the Munzee then the cache not far away.
Mistraluna I found your cache at 11:06am, this was the 24th of 56 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2938. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Pinjarra at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2016' event on the 4th - 5th June. Registrations now open.

Originally logged under clan-wallace. Geohubby wants his own caching name so guess who is relogging the lot for him?
While it is interesting to find these tribute caches to cachers no longer on the scene we find it particularly enjoyable to find them for people not only still active in the game but whom we have met. Mike's a great chap. TFTC
Targeted this one for its hidden date. Quick find once we got the right host. TFTC.
