Busselton Dilemma Busselton, Western Australia, Australia
By AusTrackers on 08-Jun-13. Waypoint GC4DX9T

I am archiving this cache due to the unfortunate lack of action taken to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, AusTrackers, requesting additional time.Despite ample opportunities provided for the Cache Owner to respond, their silence leads me to the conclusion that the cache has been abandoned.In such cases, archived caches will not be unarchived, and as a result, this location is now open for the placement of a new cache by another interested party.Thanks,BalayangCommunity Reviewer - Australia

### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.* 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 AusTrackers 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 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 youBalayangCommunity Reviewer -Australia

No luck here, 5th DNF

Cache needs fixing up

Unfortunately I was unable to locate this cache today. I will add it to my list and hopefully return soon to claim the prize.

I’ll add my name to the list of non finders, didn’t have a lot of time but checked everywhere I could see and didn’t spot a container.

Had a blast doing the puzzle, but alas no finale find for me

I attempted this cache when I last visited here from South Australia three years ago, but it was missing at the time.

I returned today and had a good search, but it seems like it may be missing again.

I just can’t seem to get my timing right here. A Busselton dilemma indeed!

The track looks used into it but no luck locating it

Good way to spend a sunny afternoon! Thanks for the fun cache!

Had a couple of hours spare today while beau is having his wisdom teeth out, so thought I would attempt the very busy day in Busselton challenge.
This was a cool Wherigo cache! Took me a while to figure out how to keep everyone happy but we got there in the end. Also a quick find for the cache.
Thanks for the Wherigo these are so much fun TFTC

Looked for this one yesterday after hitting the pavement at sunset. Came back today with fresh eyes and bingo. Tftc and fun with this whereigo AusTrackers.
I was wondering what it must look like to the people across the road who from time to time see us cachers doing this strange thing. Favourite point added

Out and about grabbing a few smilies along the way with Dkla.vk. Glad to say that i found the cache and replaced as found .tftc

This is my first Wherigo, TFTC:)

Fun little one to do! Made a small friend while we were out (see photo). Log signed and returned to spot

I do like to stop and pick up a cache if it is a different cache type to the usual. So I couldn’t resist a Wherigo as I hadn’t come across many of these in WA yet (unlike SA where there are heaps).

Thanks for the cache AusTrackers.
Found on 21/3/21 at 11:40.
Find #13341.

Had overnighter in Busso for an engagement party last night so up early this morning on a caching mission before the trip home. The plan was to knock off the 15 labs in town and see if I could claim a few different types for a certain challenge cache in the area.

Enjoyed myself immensely doing this well constructed Wherigo, must have looked a little lost to any casual observers that may have seen me walking back and forth. A short drive to GZ and spotted the container straight away.

Even the millions of ants covering the cache couldn't dissuade me from awarding a favourite, thank you very much.

AusTrackers I found your cache at 10:11am, this was the 21st of 24 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 6617. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Finally our girls weekend has arrived Kapelula, Meme28, Geotrekka and I C Nothing are heading south with four full days of caching to celebrate some birthdays and geo milestones. We have been puzzling like crazy in preparation so our aim is to find those caches and everything else that takes our fancy. Maybe even a challenge or two. Signed log as Kameingt. Nice quick wherigo.

Team effort with Kapelula ICNothing and geotrakka (KAMEINGT) on our girls weekend away. Solved found and logged.

A fun Whereigo found at night. TFTH!

Found whilst out on an extended weekend road trip to Busselton, Dunsborough and surrounds with I C Nothing, Meme28 and geotrakka. Signed log as KAMEINGT.

I I Away on a girls weekend to Bussleton with ICnothing, Kapelula and meme28. Hoping to hit some milestones during our adventures. Signing as a team this weekend KAMEINGT. Thank you to all the COs for placing their caches along the way for is to enjoy. What a fun wherigo. Must have been entertaining watching is 4 ladies in the night walking the footpaths. Thanks for putting this together

I really enjoyed actually acting out this riddle and now feel like I got my exercise for the day I loved the sounds of nature at GZ. TFTC AusTrackers, a favourite.

We remembered first solving this puzzle at high school. And doing it most recently as another wherigo. So it was a quick jog backwards and forwards on High St to get the final

At GZ there were a zillion ants who felt they owned the container. And we were initially stooged by the spoiler photo in the wherigo cartiridge which does not match GZ. Presumably it has moved at some stage but the spoiler image has not updated? Anyway do not try to find the view in the spoiler!

Logbook stamped and we moved on.

TFTW AusTrackers

I solved this one 2 years ago and did not find it 6 months ago whilst in town very briefly, and today was able to get the smiley face. thanks for the wherigo and cache austrackers and thanks for replacing the cache. great to get this one done finally.

In Busselton to pick up one of the kids, and taking the opportunity to get some caches with ChrisRG - something I haven't done for a while!

I haven't been able to get the Wherigo app working on my phone, so I took the opportunity to grab one with ChrisRG. What a good way to get the steps up! Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Spent the day with @BigRyanFamily grabbing a few caches in the Busselton area. It was very busy in town with lots of holiday makers but most of the caches we grabbed were quiet.
I asked BRF if she wanted to add a where i go to todays caches and she said why not so we headed over to this one.
I dont know what the people in the houses across the road think to see people waling up and down the street.
I had the puzzle worked out before we started but managed to grab the wrong item to start. Oops. Had to sart over again.
Eventually got there and headed over to the final where we made a quick grab.
TFTC AusTrackers

Cache was replaced on Tuesday

We will replace this cache in the coming week. It was replaced a couple of months ago!

I am currently visiting WA from Adelaide for a few weeks, travelling mostly around the southwest, exploring, visiting friends and family and finding a few caches along the way.

The cartridge worked perfectly on my iPhone, but unfortunately there was no cache to ne found at the end!

Had to drive the boss of the company i work for to Bussleton to pick up a car and the car yard was all but over the road from the wherigo. So headed to the the gz and searched every tree and log that i could and found no cache anywhere. Guessing it has gone awol.

Did the wherigo part but could not locate the cache itself...

Could not find anything at final GZ
Thank you anyhow for walk.

After having a great time at the WAGB weekend it was time to head north with maccamob as they headed home and I headed towards Geraldton.
There were so many caches to choose to look for as we made our way to Perth that we decided on mysteries we had solved and caches with a lot of favourite points.

We really enjoy wherigo's so we decided to attempt this one before we left the area and we did thoroughly enjoy making our way through the cartridge.
There was a bitt of water at gz so David was a gentleman an retrieved the cache for us and our names were added tot he log.

Thanks AusTrackers for the cache.

Found by Mary & David, in company with Mrs Crackers, at 1015. Walking on water was not an option for short legged women at GZ, so D proceeded alone. Loved the Wherigo and the technology. An unusual container that seems temporary. We assume the original went missing of was damaged beyond repair. Our thanks to AusTrackers.

We headed out today to complete the very busy busso day challenge, this was the first type of cache off the list, we safely got our Chicken, Fox and Grain from the south to the north, thanks for getting us out walking our animals TFTC

8010 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 0950. We are now on the return journey back to the Mega in Melbourne. We arrived not quite sure what o expect here. Got to gz to find that a bit of exercise (so early) was required. Got the OK and a new set of co-ords and we set to SL Tnx AusTrackers.
Not sure but stash was in a plastic shopping bag.

Well it’s finally WA Goes Big Weekend. Took a day off from work with the plan of heading down to Dunsborough early Friday with the family. Checked into our accomodation and headed out for a look around.

I love a good Wherigo and this sure was one. A bit of exercise sorting out the farm animals and I soon had the cache in hand.

A fave from me.

AusTrackers SVKR_WA found your cache Busselton Dilemma today at 16:03:45 12 Oct 2018.

I am happy to have found it and thank you for placing it and adding to this great game.

This find brings my find count to 3149

Found while on a caching mission with cravo and Barnzy12. Tftc.

A huge day out caching in the south west of our beautiful state with Cravo10. We planned to leave Perth early and head down to Bunbury to cleanup a heap of caches before attending the CITO event hosted by Rach2/Dimor before heading further south to Busselton, Dunsborough and Margaret River/witchcliffe.

Leaving Perth at 515am we made our way into Australind and got eaten alive by a bunch of mozzies and enjoyed a lovely stroll out along the groyne to the new cache out there before finding a couple of multis and then attending the CITO.

Whilst at the CITO we got chatting with JackyLegs44 and agreed to cache our way into Dunsborough before meeting up with one of his mates who had access to a serious 4wd for the new goldilocks series, which despite the terrain ratings should not be attempted in anything less than a serious 4x4 unless you want to be rescued. A great ride in the back of the troopy and some neat hides and some needles amongst the hay stacks. Was also nice to meet falcon351 and ringtailposs on the trail who we cached with for nearly the entirety of the goldilocks trail.

After completing the series we hit up the cockatoos dinner puzzle before heading to Witchcliffe to complete some of the newly published puzzles down there. Managed 4 of the puzzles before calling it quits for the day as we had to be back in Perth at a reasonable hour.

Thanks to the local COs for their hides. A great day out. Thank you.

Headed down to Bunbury and Busselton today with Barnzy12. Had the CITO on the list for 9am however making a full day of it we, well I was up at 4.30 and picketed up B12 at 5.15. A pile of caches on the list to find today from Trads to multi, puzzle, letterbox, event and even an earth cache. Making for a very busy day good thing it’s spring and the sun was out with a mild 21degree day, Thanks to the CO’s for the placement and maintenance on all caches found today.

Cache has been repaired.

New 1L decor container with west oz geocaching logsheet.

Thanks to those that assisted.

Thanks for the great puzzle TFTC

We could not locate a cache at gz. The area was flooded and previous logs indicate that container was in bad condition before that. Had fun doing initial puzzle.

So I kind of found it meaning that I did the activity but could not find the cache so I think it needs a look at thx

A fun Wherigo that was solved with no loss of life or grain. Day 2 of our Busselton caching trip. Picking up solved puzzles and trads along the way. Cache could do with some tlc.
TFTC AusTrackers this is find # 4734 for us.

Solved the dilemma and went for the final. Not much left of the container. Had fun solving it though. Tftc The-Shredder

Thanks for the fun walking back and forth. Found the cache but no logbook. So we put a small Bill in. But a maintenance would be great. TFTC

Finally a tour with the-shredder and skyryser again! After so long time of separation. Found this on our Tour through WA. Thanks for showing this great place! TFTC

Cant believe there have been so few attempts at this great little wherigo. We were down in Busso today and quickly had the gps directing us to gzas we had presolved the dilemma. Got a good workout in the process. Arrived at a rather odd gz and carefully searched likely spots . Found what we assumed were the remains of the cache. Might need some maintenance. Great cache. Tftc,austrackers.

Wandered up and down in the heat picking up and dropping off the chicken, fox and grain doing a few dance steps each time to get into the zone. I had completed another wherigo in England using the same idea earlier in the year - it makes for a really fun wherigo thanks. Followed the arrow to 0 metres. Have emailed the CO with what I found and didn't find there. A great wherigo thanks Aus Trackers. # 11,356

Found a while ago but forgot to log. Thanks for the find

My first ever "Where I Go" Cache and what a crazy way to work off some cheesecake! I made all the required manoeuvres and got a sort of green light, a lot got lost in translation from the app to the GPS part..........silly differences in measuring standards! But we made the walk and I made the find.

Thanks AusTrackers

What a lot of fun we had here! Wont give away too much, but megawat60 was the first one to get all the supplies safely to where they were needed. Once this was achieved, we made our way to the given coordinates where we made the find. Thanks for this whereigo, always a lot of fun!

22355 found
Enjoyed wander around the country and search, found and signed the log. [^] [^]
Always enjoyed myself with wherigo. Fav from me.
Thanks for organising the cache, AusTrackers

Working on a busy day day in Busselton and this is where we started. Got some exercise doing this. Fun idea and we may have to borrow it for home.
Chris & Renate from Ontario, Canada

I had no idea what a Where I Go cache was so it took some playing around to work out what to do and how to do it. Eventually I had put the pieces together and made for the location.
I knew the riddle well so got it first go although some patrons at the nearby café were keeping an eye on me with curious looks.

Quick find at GZ.
Thanks for the chance to try something new. I had fun and for that a fav for you. TFTC.

Had an idea for the solution for this cache. Got it in first try

Thanks guys

Was looking at getting going on this first thing this morning so downloaded the app and headed to the starting location with Candyfloss21, but when I tried to download the cartridge I kept getting a connection error. Thankfully it downloaded on Candyfloss21's phone, quickly solved the problem and got the final co-ords. Soon had the log signed and TB left.
Thanks for the great cache AusTrackers

Ajjnr86 was eager to do this cache, but unfortunately it wouldn't download the cartridge on his phone however it worked on mine so away we went. Was awesome to do something different.

Managed to solve the order on the way down and so only walked up and down the minimum amount of times. Plugged in GZ and made my way to GZ. After a quick find of the cache I saw about 80 kangaroos in a field next door. Having never seen a Kangaroo before it was amazing, fave point awarded, TFTC.

Lucky for us that Tomstache had the idea for the solution to this challenge. Off he went and had it sorted first go! Great news for us. When we got to GZ, GeoPa said we should watch for crocodiles! The cache was located fairly quickly, signed and replaced. We enjoyed this wherigo, thanks AusTrackers.

One sole purpose today was to complete GC4EYVV - A very busy Busso Day Challenge. As we have some muggles travelling with us, we did only one of each cache type.

Thanks for this wherigo, very cool. I was able to work out a good strategy and was lucky to get it first go. A nice quick find at GZ for us too. Thanks AusTrackers.

Such a cool cache I need to find more lovely spot everything is just brilliant about this cache!

Thanks for the cache. This is my first Whereigo. Downloaded the cartridge and took the chicken, fox and feed across the river. Felt a bit silly in the process but was rewarded with the coordinates. Fantastic cache loved how interactive this one was. I'll have to find more whereigoes.

Did this cache with Pollythecollie our first wherigo. Always interesting to try something different even thou felt a little silly walking up and the street.

We decided before we left Busselton we just had to give this cache a go! The kids loved it and my step counter also got excited! We will definitely look out for more of these. WA Goes Big 2015 certainly gave us confidence to have a go at other cache types. Thanks for this one.

We loved doing this one. Great weekend.

Yeah my first Whereigo! Super easy puzzle and straightforward find. Tftc

After splitting up with a few other cachers, I headed past this cache to get another type of smilie. Disn't have any real issues here as I took a tactical approach and wrote the solution down before attempting it. TFTC and the effort put in to get this cache operating.

Great cache! I really enjoy Wherigos, wish there were more of them... Hobbled back and forth along the footpath with my sprained ankle to carry out the task, then drove to GZ for a quick find. Thank you for the cache AusTrackers.

Tftc great found on big geo day 2015 with a group of people

Tftc wow that was a mission. Thankyou for an awesome mission to get a smiley lived the challenge of this cache. Teamed up with blaze 169 and Sachi playing.

Great Cache, swapped smiley badge for party tag thank you. My first Path Tag.

Our first wherigo and what fun it was.
Joined up with a few other teams and had a few laughs
TFTC

On a very warm busso day we did a LOT of walking! Teamed up with Blaze169, baconfamily33 and later, TeamBastholm and Whoolp and Fizz. The main challenge was figuring out how to use the app, but after that, it was pretty smooth sailing. We all walked (What were we thinking!) to the GZ and picked up our smilie. Thanks to all the teams for the fun and laughs!

TFTC AusTrackers.

Cache replaced

Well this is my third Wherigo and it didnt disappoint.
Did the challenge with ease.
Found the cache easily
TFTC

Originally found under family caching name Clan Wallace now branching out under own caching name

We did look silly walking up & down the length of this building, but we didn't care as we mastered our first Wherigo. Wow just so many Roos at the cache site. TFTC. You better have a favourite for guiding 2 old codgers through this process!

11:10:00 AM. This cache came up and we hadn't done a Wherigo before. Was going to do it yesterday but it took most of the day to get it working on my phone so had to attempt it today as we left town. It all worked ok and we soon had the final co-ords. Found the cache and signed log. Made a fitting end to our visit. A great little cache and it is clever the way it works. Thanks AusTrackers for placing this cache.

Kyzabra, AlliedOz and I had planned a trip down this way as a lead up to the WA Goes Big Event. This cache was on the list of our to-do's!

My first Wherigo and I had a bit of fun doing this one . I was pleased it was early and there was no one around to see my antics . Anyway, I was able to complete the task and extract the coords for the final . A short walk later and I added my name to the log under the watchful eye of a whole lot of Roos . A fave point from me

AusTrackers - jinta29 found your cache Busselton Dilemma on 14/02/2015 6:51 am. This is my find #2862 and find #1 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Our 1st wherigo! Loved it.
Thanks for the cache

First one of these we have done. Interesting concept. TFTC.

Out for a challenge with the help of Ringtailposs on a nice sunny day today.
The cache hasn't had any maintenance done yet, the logbook is black and soaked. I don't know how water gets into these containers. But thanks for the challenge today.

Quick and easy find with my geofriend on the way to Albany this morning after we stayed here an overnight. we saw lots of kangaroos on the paddock nearby. TFTH

[Teal] As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. Dad did most of the hard work here and the detail of our find can be found in the Rats log. Sorry for the duplicate log but it takes nothing away from the find.

Thanks for showing us this spot on our trip.

As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache.
This was a bit of fun as we had a few days in Busselton. After one false start the cartridge worked well and we soon had this one in hand.

Thanks for being part of our great adventure.
TFTC

This was so cool! Have wanted to have a go at one of these for ages and just never seemed to be able to nut out how to get it all together. Had great fun doing something different! New log book is still dry!! Thanks Ausatrackers a favourite point from us!

Found it , what a huge amount of roos, TFTC

[Blue]# 10464 Found on the WA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
Another excellent Busselton winter day for a few challenges before the rain comes.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good quick finds.
Found it after a nice little adventure. The new log book is still nice and dry.
Thanks for the great wherigo cache AusTrackers,
[Red]Roostaman[/Red] (from NSW).

We found it and didn't let the fox eat the chicken. Log book is wet and mouldy, replaced it with a new one, looks like the cache had been flooded at some point, will come back and do some maintenance next week TFTC our first Wherigo

'YAY' Our first Wherigo ! And this will give us the souvenir for the 7 Souvenirs of August 2014
We have been wanting to do this one for some time and had actually tried to download the cartridge previously.
However these Wherigo cartridges are a bit fickle and not as user friendly as I would like.
Today we tried again and were determined to get it working, I tried downloading the cartridge onto the iPhone but it kept locking up.
I then tried with the iPad, downloading the player and then the cartridge, 'YAY', success!
After opening the cartridge we proceeded to the start of the task, walking up and down collecting items and dropping them off. We soon had the three items transported to the phone box and were able to collect the co-ords for the cache location, it had taken us only an hour to complete, with all the hiccups.
Before heading off to find the cache I checked if there were any munzees nearby and saw that there were indeed some close by. We wandered around and capped them all and I even put one out myself.
Once we were at GZ I was pleased to find this interesting path which appears to traverse along the bank of a waterway. This is an area we had not previously visited, thanks for showing us this lovely spot. We will have to come back another time with our bikes and travel along this trail.
As previously mentioned by Pood, the cache has suffered some water damage. Unfortunately I had left my geo bag at home and was not able to effect required repairs.
I did manage to sign the wet log book but it does need to be replaced, the swaps in the cache are also ruined.
Thanks for the great adventure, it has inspired me to try and make a Wherigo cartridge myself, if I can find time, lol.
Gets a fav point from us.

Found with SeabreezeOZ, TFTC

Found with SeabreezeOZ, TFTC

The inside of the container is soaking, logbook is black and soaked as well, this one needs a full maintenance fixup.

First day in Busselton with BettyBoo3747.
Lovely weather, and a collection of good sized and interesting caches.
Never really sure about Whereigo as the software was very buggy and didn't get upgraded as it should have been.
We loaded the cartridge on BB's Oregon and set off.
We knew the story, I guess we were lucky we didn't have to row across the river!
Felt a bit silly walking up and down the footpath though as there were some workers tending the new gardens (I wonder what they thought we were doing?) The closest we could get to North was 5 meters, but fortunately you have set that wide.
We finally had co-ords in hand and were off to GZ.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 5916. Robmc and I arrived here yesterday and this is our first full day caching around the area. So lovely to have mild weather and blue skies. It is going to be a good day!

Oh dear I am not particularly fond of Whereigos but I have done a few now. Backwards and forwards we went but luckily didn't cause ourselves any undue stress as we rowed in the correct order.

However when we finally arrived at GZ the cache container and the log book were damp and rather putrid. The log book has black mould and very wet pages and definitely the whole thing needs urgent maintenance. As we are travelling light (geocaching-wise) we did not have the supplies to replace the log book.

Thanks AusTrackers

TFTC. Full log to follow

This was our 26th cache find in a caching run of 33 Finds & 1 DNFs today.
We found it at 17:09 so this now makes our total find count 7842.
[blue]
Another day out caching with The Drovers. We made an early start so we could retrieve a few before the weather warmed up too much. Then in the evening we bagged a few more.
This was our first Wherigo, and boy did we get some exercise - but the chook didn't get eaten!!
We also used this cache as part of the logging requirements for "A very busy Busso Day Challenge" (GC4DX9T).
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Around 2 metres.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book were wet.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Grabbed: Two trackables
Thanks AusTrackers for the hunt today.

Went out this afternoon with Ian and Penny, with a mission in mind -
to complete the challenge of finding find 5 different caches in 1 day.
This was the first on the list as we thought it would be the most difficult
We had only done 1 before and this was a first for Ian & Penny,
so they downloaded the cartridge onto their iPhone.
Very pleased to have no problems and the task was completed quite quickly,
both teams enjoyed the challenge. The log was very wet, and we left it out
of the plastic bag, and the container unclipped in the hope that it might dry out.
May need checking. Many thanks for a fun afternoon, AusTrackers.
