The Loaded Log Trigg, Western Australia, Australia
By spirothebudgie on 06-Apr-13. Waypoint GC4967K

Cache is back!
Given that the cache is placed less than 1 metre from a well used path, I don't see it as being a problem so I've decided to let it stay!
Cleaned it all up this morning so it is ready to find again!
Happy Geocaching!

Complies with COS guidelines

Sorry but the specifics of being close to a path only apply to a 'limestone' or otherwise sealed path.

The path you are talking about is not limestone or sealed and so is a problem under the COS rules.

Please remove your cache.

Sorry about this, thought the cache might be ok.
Will remove cache as soon as possible!
Thanks!
spirothebudgie

Container has been removed

I've decided this one should be fine to stay where it is, so I will put the cache back out tomorrow hopefully!
Happy Geocaching!

The Stirling City Council have made new rules for their Bushland, Coastal Dunes, Wetlands areas and includes any other area affected by dieback within the boundaries of the council local government area. These new rules can be found at [url=https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Western+Australia]https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Western+Australia[/url] and will affect already published caches within the council area.

This cache listing has been identified as being one of the approximately 85 existing caches that are located in one of the areas identified by the new rules and must be checked so is being temporarily disabled until the status of the cache is determined as complying or non complying with these new rules.

If this listing complies with the new rules then it can be enabled again but a note must be placed on the cache stating that the cache complies with the rules.

If it is determined that this cache does not comply then the owner is requested to remove the cache for the existing location and archive the listing.

If you wish to replace the cache at some other location within the Stirling City Council Local Government area that does comply with the new rules please submit a new cache listing for the new location.

Spent so long here I nearly cried! No luck today

Quick check, it's still there and ready to find!
Happy Geocaching!
spirothebudgie

Yes,

Found it. Thanks to CO for a good cache.

Out on another run with barnzy12 really trying to get more notches on the stats board. TFTH TFTC this one was great that's for the creative cache!

Just a quick check this afternoon and found the cache left very exposed and not put back properly! Placed it back where it should be but please do not leave any cache exposed like this as if a muggle discovers it it may get stolen!
All good now though and ready to find!
Happy geocaching!
spirothebudgie

Trail and avativate

Yay

Cool

Such a good idea for a cache! Was quite exposed so tried to cover up

Found on my "Round Aussie Trip, with Brother Colin, my son, who has flown in from Brisbane, for 5 days caching with me .Great state and great weather today. TFTC.

I arrived in WA very late last night for a 5 day visit with lots of caching with my Mum.
As we slowly make our way north from cache to cache this was our next to find.
What a cool idea for a cache. Loved it. A fav point from me. [^]
Thanks for the cache.

second time looked not found

Quick check and it's still there
The cable to tie the lid shut was gone though so I replaced it, if you lose it by accident or it's not there PLEASE let me know as otherwise everything will fall out!
Cache ready to find again!
Happy Geocaching!

I spent WAY longer looking for this cache than i should have. Got there in the end. tftc.

Unfortunately the batteries had been drained and even after they had been replaced the mechanism did not operate consistently.
Have taken this one in so I can replace the switch which is most likely the problem
Should be back online soon
Happy Caching!

All good Changed batteries and cleaned it out
Also added new swaps in a plastic bag and changed switch to a different type that cannot be left turned on by accident!
Happy caching

GPS was playing up so after a blind hunt I spotted it. Great idea! TFTC

Hi.
Found it with my boys.
Im sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it didnt work. I didnt force anything as requested in log.
The cache appeared a bit wet. I think this may be the problem. The protecting bag has many little holes in it.
I hope it is fixable.
Rockthree told me how good this cache was.
Maybe i can come back another day...
TFTC

What a cool cache container. Followed the instructions and accessed the log for signing. A favourite.

TFTC! After finding the battery cache and a DNF at another saw this one had plenty of favs so decided it was probably worth the stop. Made a good find at GZ. Different idea but a great cache. Have a fav for something different

Quite a prickly walk through the beautiful bush land. Found without too much trouble. TFTH.

Really enjoyed this cache not your run of the mill type cache! TFTC Spirothebudgie!

Very clever. Tfth!

TFTC. awesome idea

tftc

Awesome Tech!!! Little Miss loved the show of it.

Not sure how this one has been off my radar for so long, and what a little beauty. All worked perfectly.

And, what an absolutely wonderful day for a bit of close to home cacheing on my own, and how lovely is this unknown little piece of natural bush land in Trigg.

Thanks so much for this cache and getting me to discover this spot spirothebudgie, well worth a fav from me too.

Very creative, not like in vic

Went down and checked it today as it hasn't been found in a while, but it's still there

Walked around in circles for a bit because we were using Garmin and iPhone but coords were spot on.
Worth a fave- found on a beautiful Mother's Day

Quick easy find

Another quick find once at GZ. Very well played, loved the idea definitely worth a fav point. System worked perfectly. Signed the log and bagged it all up again. TFTC.

I was close to having my head in the musical solar system, so made this one just before my spaceship departed. TFTC! (I guess you would have to know the subject of my next search to understand those sideways references!)

On the geobike again, riding in the middle of the day...
Had a DNF here previously, and nearly gave it up again when finally spotted the cache. Sometimes the simplest hides are the hardest to find. The mechanism was not working, the battery might be flat, the switch was left on "close".
TFTH

New batteries AGAIN.
PLEASE read the instructions in the cache and leave it set to OFF.
Ready to find!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Pretty cool cache. Tftc

No luck - looked for a bit - next time !

Cache is still there!
Hope the tb is moved on soon.
Happy Geocaching

Spent another great day caching with JacobsCrew, in the northern suburbs of Perth.
Visited lots of parks & did some bush walks, where we found a good variety of caches
& some clever hides.
We would like to give you a favourite point, for the effort that you put into this cache.
Thanks for the hunt today, spirothebudgie.

Here I am on another Monday adventure with The Drovers, It is the biggest caching day for me , a total of 81 caches for the day. It has been a great with fantastic company. I had a wonderful day in beaut weather conditions. it was a quick find and I like this find ...TFTC FAv for me

drop off trackable

This would get double favourites if it were allowed. TFTC

Just replaced switch and added a waterproof cover to it as the switch was rusting and failing to function correctly. Works better now!
Also new logbook
Happy Hunting!

Yeah we found it

New batteries installed, ready to go!
Happy Hunting!

Easy find! Great cache. Beautiful day and surroundings. TFTC, 3T's

Great cache! for a start if was a relief not to be scouring the bush for a nano! The ingenuity of it just amazed me... here i was all alone letting out a loud WOW! opened, signed, replaced. TFTC!

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Found this evening with lots of help from my husband... Had nearly given up but realised we had wandered quite far into the bush - too far! Thanks

This was a nice walk along the trail to GZ where another great sized container was found, with the bonus of a unique log book container inside! A very clever idea! Left my pathtag.
Thanks for a great fun cache spirothebudgie.

Love it, best writing log ever!
Thanks

Found it!! Nice and different!

That was tricky...we were distracted by the sound of Mr Whippy so almost missed the path that leads to the cache. We had to wait for my aunty to tell us the instructions so we could sign the log. Thanks for the cache. Oh, and we did manage to track down Ms Whippy on our walk back up the hill so it was smiles all around.

Ok, this is simply the best one we've found yet! Cover is damp inside and out. Works fine, all signed!!! TFTGC

Found this one after a short search. The cache will not open. I am logging as found. Will be back soon to sign. TFTC.

Will go down and check soon

Cache repaired, sorry for inconvenience. Please be sure to read the cache note on how to operate it and turn it off.
Happy caching!

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Out on a ride north of home. Quick find, SL TFTC

Nice easy find. Very clever log! TFTC

What a great cache to mark our 100th find. Co-ordinates were spot on and log worked beutifully.
Big smiles, thanks spirothebudgie.
Day 28/31 days of geocaching and still going strong. Dropped off TB3Q08N3 Schildi

Replaced the batteries, cache now works again and ready to find!
Happy Hunting!

Found while on holiday from Moree NSW. We took my brothers muggle wife and muggle mother in law. The mother in law found this one which was exciting. Unable to sign log due to technical issues but took photo to send the CO to verify the find. Would have given it a favourite point if it had worked but still an awesome cache TFTC

22 of 31 for August. Found on a trip with weyersclan. Love the container!
TFTC

Found while out with Jakl-b hide. Greetings from New Zealand

Found without problems but had trouble getting to the log as it took a few switches to work. I suspect that was because the whole thing was very damp.

Thanks spirothebudgie for the cache.

This is the most amazing cache I have come across. TFTH

Cache still in place! We actually went to the wrong spot when we went to check it up, there is a very similar looking spot earlier on the track.
All good!

Was looking everywhere, but could not find it.

Got to this one, and realised we had already found it with ruffdawg as a second to find. Kids insisted that we find it again anyhow. Upon searching, we came up empty, definitely not where it was initially, so I am pretty sure it has been muggled : (

Well now that we have recovered from WA goes BIG in 2013 it's time to clean up that map and hunt down some of those caches that have popped up over the last 5 months.

Well another that we found the track out much easier than the bush bash in.

We found the cache out in the open and were worried it had been muggled. But all seemed okay. Placed the cache back a bit better we hope.

Nice work on the logbook and a fave from us for yet something different.

TFTC spirothebudgie

Mid search finds me crouched under a banksia tree trying to shelter from the heaviest downpour of the day. I felt very much at one with nature, even with water running down my back! Excellent, inventive cache, tho container in bit worse for wear, still dry tho. TFTH

Awesome find! Thanks

Great geo kids loved it might need a sharpener for pencil

So cool

A clever idea that we had not seen before. Thanks spirothebudgie.

Found with richlink on a very quiet, cold Sunday. Interesting... TFTH.

Headed northwards with OOH YEH in the drivers seat and me as navigator, picking up from where we left off last time we were up this way. Found this one after a short search with newby cachers we had met earlier in the afternoon. Great concept. Grabbed a tb from here. Thanks spirothebudgie

Great idea! Raced a few fellow cachers to the location

Great cache very innovative found just after two other cachers. Hopefully get our first trackable soon. Found with grace Darby tftc xx

Out on a day of caching with mistraluna and we had another successful day. We ended up with 34 finds and a few that appear to be missing. Met up with Bravocat and gracedarby again at this cache. We made a quick find here and it was a very clever cache, took TB to move on TFTC

Whilst it is true that my herpitophobia is legendary, I don't have a problem with arachnids. However, when the covering of webs on my specs began to impact my vision, I asked "Am I enjoying this?" TFTH

That is a great cache. Dropped off a trackable. TFTC
