This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
Had a really good look. Some damage has occurred to the structure so it's probably worth checking if it's still in place...
Three of us searched. Geodaughter laughed at me also as I crawled around. We gave up after three of us searched for 20 ++ minutes. Unfortunately we fly back to Canada soon, never to find.
Out and about with B12 to find this cache, now getting the chance to log the find online TFTH TFTC
Had a huge day off planned with Cravo10, so decided we should head down South of Mandurah to cleanup some new series of caches that have been published and clean up the caches on the journey between Mandurah and Bunbury so that we can have a caching trip to Bunbury soon that doesn't involve too many stops on the way down so that we can actually cache out Bunbury and Busselton in the coming months.
Our first stop was the John Tognela walk trail caches, which included one archived cache found in great condition, lovely walk and special thanks to webbly wa for replacing the first one that was clearly lost in the fires.
We then tried for the ponder this series by Jinta29, which was going to give us some huge amounts of months unloved, found 8 of the 9 in the series, with a DNF on number one which gives us 48 months of unloved.
We cleaned up the OOH YEHs heading south caches on the way down which were all nice quick finds with good co ords. I wonder how far this series will end up going? Hopefully all the way to Bunbury
We then headed to grab the new yalgorup five caches that were recently placed, all found in good order and were in such a lovely area that I'd love to explore more, hopefully you can place a few more caches in this series and we can come back and spend more time exploring the area.
We then continued back towards Mandurah caching up a storm grabbing everything along the way that we could, including trying for some archived caches that are long gone, so we weren't all that successful on that front. We found a good variety of caches today and was good to finally make another huge dent in the Mandurah caches so we won't need too many caching runs down here to keep the area clean
Thanks to the local COs for their hides and we can't wait to come back to the area, we had a great day. Thanks
Got sprung by a muggle whilst commandoing down there but she said nothing

Out for a big day caching to start off the new year and try to beat our record for most finds in a day! We managed to beat our record and only had 4 DNF's for the whole day, go us. Had a great time exploring this area. Favourite point for this one, very sneaky and geohubby had a good old laugh at me trying to be stealth and classy whilst crawling around on my hands and knees haha. TFTC SL
Muggle party on the balcony after doing the extra Klm up the beach . Never mind....I'll come back another day.
Originally found under family caching name clan-wallace, now re logging under own name.
Why, oh why didn't I do this one when I was at the Event last week then I could have saved myself all that crawling.....Oh wait a minute, I did because Geohubby did it! TFTC
Geop snuck off during the event in order to go and grab this one. Luckily he found it quickly so he could come back to the event and enjoy talking to all the other teams there ☺. Tftc sl tnln
Fourth time we've visited this cache but this time we came with Team Zilvert who are somewhat younger than we are so between us (aus vrede with the GPS and Trevor with the physical ability) we nailed it!!!

Here for the meet and greet to welcome the couple from Townsville. Happy to be able to help with the find (even though Trevor sustained a cut to the leg)
Walked up here with a crew form the local event prepared for getting dirty or a hard hunt, all the others were on hands and knees and I was handed the container to make our marks. Lovely view and a nasty sneaky hide!
Thanks for this one Pink Bling.

Headed up here while at the nearby event with MNS13. A hunt revealed the prize, but not where our gps's were pointing us. Had to expand the search zone a bit.
Pink Bling - Kyzabra found your cache Flights of Fancy on 17/10/2015, 1:52 PM. This is my find #3979 and find #2 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

This was one of fun and fine teamwork! Was happy to spot the little blighter, TFTC Pink Bling, a great view!
Found this today with Jasenjanine (and the kids) after an epic adventure day caching and an event too. This was found with relative ease.
Thanks for the cache Pink Bling

Found during the nearby geoevent , great to catch up with some geobuddies we had not seen for some time. Teamwork for this one, SLTFTC Pink Bling & a lovely view
Had a quick look today for 5 minutes before rain and hail sent us running back to our car and back home, we'll be back.
Jeez, this took some searching . After looking from a few different angles we finally spotted this one nearly hidden . Great views from here too [^]

Day twenty nine of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747.
Spent the day on the deadly treadlies riding around Falcon looking at the water from many different angles.
We started here this morning with a DNF - not a great start.
We came here to check out the beach to see about some snorkeling this afternoon, but the surf was up a bit.
On to the lookout. Great spot, but no cache for us today.
Thanks, Robmc.

Our first full day in Falcon and Robmc and I jumped on the bicycles for some touring around - sight-seeing and gathering caches, or trying to. A lovely 18km ride around the beaches and canals but a not totally successful day caching wise. The result was 15 finds and 5 DNF's.
After reading so many DNF logs we weren't actually expecting success here. We searched for quite some time but did not conquer this one today.

A day caching down South on the coast on the geo-bikes.
Looked and looked but no luck here for us...
Looked and looked but no luck here for us...
Checked to see if cache still present after some DNF's and YES it is still hiding. So search well!
Was at the bay with the family so thought I'd have a look. No luck, only my second attempt looking for a cache so was unsure what I was looking for.
Tried to have a quick look as we visited some friends in Falcon today. No luck for us. I have a new years resolution to log ALL my dnf's ... so here is another (sigh).
Searched for a while but no luck. Oh well, gorgeous view and 3 geo girls loving the sand below.
Looked for a while. Couldn't find it. Kids wanted to stop looking and collect stuff on beach. Maybe another day we will find it.
This little bugger had us looking high and low, eventually made the find. Unfortunately, cache is very full of water, dried it out best we could but log still soaked and with the rains here, not looking good for this cache.
Wow what a lovely view found quit quick thank god as a big black cloud was on its way and looked like it was going belt it down nipped over to the lovely little cafe a cross the road and grabbed a spot of lunch be for it started to rain cats and dogs I'm glad I got back to my ute in time be for I got drowned tftc pink bling
The cache maybe compromised as I found the cache instructions amongst rubbish and urine nearby.

Sorry to say this has been muggled. I will fix it up and have it up and running by the 6th Jan
Don't know where it is. Satin we are right on top of it. Maybe cache has been destroyed?
I found this one a few months ago but didn't have a pen to sign the log so I came back today to find it again and I found the label for the container so I suspect it may have been taken
This cache is not there as we found the empty container in the bush. Need some work.
Such a nice view. GPS worked out where it was then muggle husband grabbed it. TFTC
Decided on a trip to Mandurah today, to do some caching.
Many changes have been done in the town, since we lived there.
A quick grab between muggles checking out the lookout.
Many thanks for the cache, Pink Bling.

A great lookout, with nice coastal views - enjoyed coming here! The cache is accessible without leaving the steps - barely - but we did have to leave the structure to make the find. Thanks for bringing us here Pink Bling.
Second time I have looked for this cache- it def wasn't in this spot last time! Anyway very happy to finally find on this stormy day tftc
Having a day's outing, caching in this area today with Everlasting. Found this cache quite some distance from our GZs, and reading the description and other logs it seemed like there has been some serious cache creep, so replaced it where we hope it was meant to be, accessible from the steps.
Thanks for the cache Pink Bling.
Thanks for the cache Pink Bling.
Again urch found the cache in wrong place so put it back where the coordinate is... Thanks Pink Bling.
As the x-trailers and I were trying to locate this cache we had to wait for what we thought was a muggle approaching.
As the young lad and his father sat opposite us we must have all looked suspiciously at each other.
Before long we realised they were cachers and we sat and talked for about 15 minutes before the young lad helped us to locate this cache.
Can't say we could reach it easily as suppose to.
Owner may need to check this cache is in correct spot.
Took trackables to visit.

What a lovely spot to rest and check out the view
Happen to meet up with a couple of new cachers while looking for cache
Thanks to Hugo who gave us a tip on where he had located the cache earlier in the day
Not sure we would have located as gps and case notes did not match up with where cache was found
Left trackable and took our others along for the walk
Took nothing
Thanks for the cache3

At last we found this [;D].
We must have tried 3 or 4 times at various stages without luck, so on a blustery winter afternoon we brught our exchange student down to the beach and decided to try again. After expanding our search area, our exchange student made the find - she will make a good geocacher by the time she leaves us .
It also helps to keep our 31 day challenge alive - 25 of 25 from 31
