Strange species... North Beach, Western Australia, Australia
By spirothebudgie on 03-Jun-13. Waypoint GC4DFG6

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.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

No response from CO.... Looks like its time to go

Its been well over a year since this one was found... Could CO please check if it is still in play or needing attention. Thanks!

Couldn’t find it

We couldn’t find it

Didn’t find it but judging by the logs I’m not the only one

Decided to give this one a miss after seeing it has not been found for a long time. Hoping the CO could check on it please, thanks spirothebudgie

Unfortunately a DNF here for us today, we will be back to rectify this at a later date

Couldn’t find it at all

Maybe it's just our geocaching radar was a bit off on this one, but we've now twice had a hunt through all the obvious places, most of the less obvious places and some frankly ridiculous places around the GZ and still had no joy....

Lots of local caches still to find now we are living in a new suburb After work this evening the opportunity arose to stop off here for a quick look, and being after dark the park was deserted. Conscious of torches being easily spotted from the houses, I parked up as close to GZ as I could then limited the torch until I was rich on top of GZ. A combo of torchlight and a good angle meant I spotted the nicely camouflaged container immediately Took it back to the car to sign then repeated my black ops operation when replacing back in it's hidden hole Great to tick off another local cache and get another smiley on my map. No problems here, all as it should be - TFTC

TFTH spirothebudgie. Thought I would try for another cache while the sun was still shining!! SL and replaced as found.

Thanks

Nice camouflage man

Lots of fresh mulch spread around and wasn't sure what that might mean for the cache, but all is safe and sound. Took pathtag. TFTC spirothebudgie.

Sup tftc

Really nice camo mate really nice find

Cute little park

Cute camo!

thanks

Nice camo work on the tin. No lid on it though - is that right. The log was screwed up and torn so we put another piece of paper in the ziplock bag.

This is another park that needs a lot more trees and water for the grass. How come City of Stirling looks after some parks and not others?

Quick find at 5pm on a sunny afternoon. Thanks for the cache.

Found. Needs new log

Many thanks go to spirothebudgie, I found your cache Strange species.... On 22 September 2016 at 6:52 PM. All is well here. This is my find # 472 TFTH! NZJESTER

Hi there spirothebudgie.

We found your cache **"Strange species..."** at 10:50:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 14674.

We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route that is mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and of various sizes hidden along our route.

We found 13 caches today & DNF'd 3. 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:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Another good find with Just-Lookin.
Strong wind and showers at times today.
We soon found this cache - the lid is nolonger attached.

Enjoying a lovely holiday in Perth with tmann421. Slowly making our way North and enjoying the sights.
Another good hide here. TFTC

Nice container

Easy to find. Cute container.

Thanks geocache found good spot, clever hides disguise

Found it straight away, which surprised me because I've looked before and had no luck (being near the right place helps). Was walking the dog and didn't have a pen so I left a brown smudge with some tree bark and will come back to sign my smudge! TFTC

Yay

Freckles101 found it

There was a lizard in there..

It's a bit of a mongrel but I like it. TFTC!

Quick find here. tftc

The trees have recently been heavily pruned and cleaned up. Suspect it has been removed by council muggles

Nice camouflage! A quick find this morning after a brief detour on my way to work - GZ really stood out... Several tradies' vehicles were parked on the verge and provided good cover. Thank you for the cache spirothebudgie.

Found while out caching with my dad (Spatialriq). TFTC.

Quick find while in the area. TFTC

Very nice camouflage!!

Did not mean to kick it

Very clever. Kept us looking 4 ages. Kai Mia & co.

Found it!

Camouflaged very well. Thanks. Great find of Kai's. Thanks

Good camouflage

Fourth find of the day! Loved the camouflage!!

2nd time to visit this cache. Still no luck. We may just be a couple of geo-chumps

We had a bit of trouble with this one but persistence finally paid off. TFTC

Nice little park. Kids played after finding it. Thanks.

Quick find here as the cache was upside down and quite exposed. Placed it back a little more inconspicuously. TFTC

TFTC! Out with Cravo10 to cleanup some tree climbing caches in the area to help the DT grid. Thanks

Out on another run with barnzy12 really trying to get more notches on the stats board. TFTH TFTC

Very easy find as the camo had somhow been overturned!!! TFTC

Easy Find. TFTC.

Yayyy tftc. Had to wait for some muggles to go but all good

TFTC. Nice little cache:)

Replaced container!
Happy geocaching!

TFTC

Found the cache but the plastic component has been broken into 4+ pieces (was in the open) and needs replacement. The log was dry amazingly and so used the writing stick (2ft away) to add us in. TFTC

Sounds like it's been muggled[:(!] will replace soon.

Ducked out in between rain showers and grabbed this little fella. Clever hide with your bits and pieces, thanks for this cache spirothebudgie.

Quick find here, TFTH.

Nice quick find. Tftc

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. Thanks for the cache, 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 ...TFTC

Found the cache exposed on the ground but og and pencil both there. SL, then returned it where I thought the hint says it should be. TFTC spirothebudgie!

The names in the log mentioned by the previous finder were all muggles. This appears to be a mugglekids cubby. The cache was upturned. I've rehidden but I don't think it will last.

Thought I might be the first to find this new version of the cache, but there are a few names on there already. I like this style of cache. I found it while out on a bike ride and this was on the way home. TFTC spirothebudgie

heading out to change container

new container in place completely different to the old one.
All ready to go!
Happy Caching!

Nice park. A few muggles but they left as we arrived. The log is full. Had to replace camo as it had detached. TFTC. It completed an outing for us.

Please replace the camoflage over cache, found it had become very exposed.
Thanks!

Found at dusk. TFTC

Easy!

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

Easy find...nicely hidden

Quick find after discovering a nearby bong
TFTC

Found without problems. Loved the camo.

Thanks for the cache.

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.

Mrs Felix spotted this one quickly thankfully as there was a muggle riding a skateboard nearby and we thought we may have had to leave without searching.

TFTC spirothebudgie

A beautiful morning to be out on a stroll. Spring is in the air!!! Thanks for another reason to get outside!
TFTC

Nice little home made Cache. Spotted it on my approach to GZ, as i came from the right angle.

So no problems here.

TFTC.

Very chilly this morning so fortunately we made a quick find here with iluvtrekking. Thanks spirothebudgie.

Found with richlink on a very quiet, cold Sunday. Sneaky little hide. TFTH.
