Mary MacKillop - MERREDIN Merredin, Western Australia, Australia
By MAC WA on 29-Jun-13. Waypoint GC4F6MN

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 https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56

Unarchive a geocache
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

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

Hi there MAC WA.

This is the 1st of 1 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]

We spent quite some time here but we just couldn't locate your cache, so here's a DNF from us.

Regards
Ian and Penny

Hi there Reviewer,

RE: The cache "Mary MacKillop - MERREDIN"

I'm following up on the "Needs Maintenance" log which is now well over four months old.
There has been no action by the CO, & the cache appears to have been abandoned.

Regards

Ian & Penny

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.

Tried but no luck

Think has been vandalised

Not there

So many DNF

Searched but did not find.

What a shame we did not read the previous ligs before trying to find. This one is long gone and needs to be replaced.

Could not find

Gps all over the place but despite this no sign of the cache.

Mavz243 will replace this cache ... sorry about the prolonged disable

Had a bit of a look but after reading the previous logs I didn't spend too much time here.

I think it’s gone after they did the park up

An awesome little nature-play park but no sign of geocache around co-ords or 10m radius

Came and had a look but gps was taking us to the fence near the cubby house and there wasn't really much at shoulder height for anyone of any stature. Still looked at heights that would suit a dwarf to a basketball centre without success. Nice park though. TFTC!

Unfortunately due to works the park is closed, it is taped off, we will be back at a later date to claim this smiley

Well hidden cache but still easy enough to find on my lunch break

Had to wait till school had finished and all the muggles had gone home. Nice hide.

Nice quick find TFTC

Stopped on our way home from the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs. Hubby had lots of stories of him kicking the football in this park as a kid. TFTC

Easy afterwork find

Found on our first day we set off to Alice Springs.
I enjoy finding her caches.
TFTC MAC WA

Found It!
Yet another Mary MacKillop cache - if only she was a geocacher, she would have found caches everywhere!
TFTC

TFTC hot day, schools out.

Had only found and logged a Mary McKillop cache yesterday in Perth. Couldn't pass this one up.
TFTC

Our efforts to find this one took on a fresh turn of speed when we realised just how many ants were climbing our legs. Luckily we quickly identified the cache and removed ourselves. TFTC.

Very hot here. Thanks for the history. Tftc.

Quick find after lunch. Thanks for the hide

On a bit of a road trip (close to 2000km by the time we get home) grabbing some LGAs and adding to my smileys tho only finding a few in each major town other wise we will never get home as we only have 3.5 days

Our plan is just to drive and stopover at the nearest town to where we are when it starts getting dark. But we have on our list Katanning, Nyabing, Gnowangerup, Borden, Jerramungup, Ravensthorpe, Esperance, Grass Patch, Salmon Gums, Dundas area, Kambalda, Kalgoorlie, Coolgardie, Southern Cross, Westonia, Merredin, Kellerberin, Tammin, Cunderdin and finish off caching in Meckering

Checked in late to the local caravan park which was all good except no power and our cabin was like a dry sauna which also wasn't good as we needed things to go in the fridge
After a while we went for a drive and the roadhouse at the west end of town was open, boy that ice cream tasted so nice and cool
Got back to park and the power pole near us was getting so legal attention and the power was back on. Time to crank up the aircon

Thought we'd grab a couple of caches before leaving town, this was one of them.

An easy find but will add head height for the not so tall (I'm 4ft 8in - 144cm so definitely not so tall )

TFTC

Enjoying getting the Mary MacKillop caches on our travels.

Replaced cache as found

With the cache numbers reset now for 2017, the plan was to hit the new tear running (or caching).

Teamed up with Granett for a day long roadtrip through the wheatbelt. On the target list, a pile of LGAs to cross off, some Jasmers, some archived caches and a generally fun day out.

We left Perth at 6, heading for Merredin, then down to Narambeen, Bruce Rock, Quairading and then back home. A long drive in the heat, but cachers do crazy things, right?

Found this one, was at my shoulder height.


MAC WA - SVKR_WA found your cache Mary MacKillop - MERREDIN on 2/1/17, 10:15. This is my find #1734 and find #6 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

A big day out with SVKR_WA today picking up a few LGA's (counties) which seems to be the norm for some people these days. After a 740k round trip we ended up with 9 new LGA's, 19 finds and a couple of Jasmers.

This one took a few minutes to locate but SVKR_WA came up with the goods again for our first find in Merredin.

MAC WA I found your cache at 10:15am, this was the 6th of 19 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3714. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

On way home from Kalgoorlie after spending a few days with family for Christmas and I promised only a few geocaches would be found

Spent the night in Southern Cross and now on our way home. With littlies these stops for caches gives the kids time to have a little run around

TFTC and we replaced as found

We sign logs DD2 to save space

Nice quick find. All in good condition. TFTC

Another find for clan-wallace. I'll bide my time she will soon run out of steam. TFTC

Quick find after a business trip here and before school let out.

TFTC

Things I do for caching. Good cache

Thanks for the find.

Found! But not where expected- certainly not shoulder height!

First find for us in Merriden with Bunycorp.

A quick find today. TFTC

Easy find. Cheers

Awesome quick find. Shame about the weather though. Thanks

Tftc

A quick stop and a good find. Beware the thorns

TFTC

Tftc

I continued me stroll around Merredin to see if I could make another Mary Mac sighting
There are a lot of caches around the country dedicated to our first Saint
And most are close to skools with the name of St Joseph's

A small, neglected little park cropped up here for me to take a stroll through.
A large rock, possibly once intended to hold some sort of memorial plaque was centre stage.
And down the back, a cache was found after a short fight with some shubberies

TFTC.

Sharing treasure hunting with my family

Nice hide

Nice one, TFTC

Loved this one... wasnt where I expected it would be!

Another down on the way to kal..tfc

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.

Today I was lucky enough to be out and about so I targeted this cache.

Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!


Thanks MAC WA (F=326 H=8) for placing this cache.

An easy enough find in a good spot today. Cache appears to be in order.

TFTC, SL.

Found by Mary & David at 1125. After a delicious early lunch at Cafe 56, we have revived and are on our way to Kalgoorlie tonight. A nice little park here, but the plaque on the rock has been taken. Our thanks to MAC WA.

No luck here today. In the spikey bush next to the fence, I'm guessing, but nothing to be found.

I believe somebody had mixed up the cache. I found the plastic container with black lid at the old brewery. It has been defaced by somebody very immature. I did however leave it there.

Found it. I decided to go caching instead of waiting for my hubby's footy game to start Caching is much more interesting

Hi there MAC WA - We found Mary MacKillop - MERREDIN today - our find # 3725, while out and about on a lightning tour of the Northern Wheatbelt. The cache was found quickly and the container and log are in good condition. Thanks to MAC WA for the cache.

Easy one TFTC

Easy find TFTC

No plaque park

Nice and easy! Thanks

Out on another day trip with Steve. I'm starting to like this Thursday off business. A great drive around the country side and picked up a few smiley faces TFTH TFTC

TFTC! Out for another Wheatbelt drive with Cravo10 to cleanup a bunch of caches published since or that we left since our last visit a couple of years back.

Had a great day out covering approx 900km and visiting a large number of country towns that have very low cache density. Highlights included finding more of zed' archived caches and visiting roe lookout which had fantastic views of the countryside.

Thanks

Nice quick park and grab. Thank you for the cache

Quick easy find FTF for 2016 TFTC ... It's a shame this park is not looked after

TFTC.

12324 caches found

Just a short strole from where we were staying ... quickly found .... Walking around Australia for Prostate and Breast Cancers

took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache MAC WA

TFTC MAC WA

Done

Quick find! Ta.

#2255 - Bruce had given up in the nasty, spikey bush, coming from both sides. Felt like a pin cushion. But Marg spotted it. It was definitely not grounded. And bring some secateurs to trim away so you can get to the cache without getting savagely spiked. All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour via the highest peak in each State and mainland Territory.
http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/15119 Many thanks to the cache owner MAC WA for establishing and maintaining this cache.

Easy find
TFTC

Easily found. TFTC

Nice one for the kids. Thanks xx

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

This stuff is so fun

Found !!
Another cache for the day

Found a container with black lid but it was cut in half in bush

Day sixty two of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747.
The start of the long trip home. Perth to Kalgoorlie today, grabbing caches as the mood took us.
What a strange little park! We located and signed the cache and then went to read the plaque on the big rock in the middle of the block, but there was no plaque! Are they waiting for something to happen around here?
Thanks, Robmc.

# 8304. Today is the day Robmc and I start our slow journey back East. We are heading to Kalgoorlie and intend to pick up a few caches on the way. We are able to add 11 smilies on the trip.

This one confused us as it is certainly not under rocks as indicated by a previous log. The coordinates were however way over the side fence into someone's backyard. Rob retrieved it from the lethally prickly bush today. I had been doing laps around the huge boulder in the centre of the block but there was no plaque to be read??

Thanks MAC WA

Quick found on our trip to Perth. TFTC.

TFTC. SL. Quick find

Always seem to be in a hurry when passing through here so today I made time for a find.
TFTC

Found it this morning at 11:05, but wrote Jan instead of FEB. - Duh!
Correct coordinates should be = S 31 29.218, E 118 16.553. Container is on ground under rocks

A quick find as we could see it while approaching gz. Co-ords are about 8 mts out and cache is not at height indicated. Thanks MAC WA

Just relogging under a new account. Signed log under an old account of dcorunna on this day

In Merredin for the Christmas break and doing a late afternoon/early evening cache run on Christmas Day. Quick find. TFTC.

Out and about on Christmas Day and found this along with dcorunna. TFTC.

Stopped for break on my way to Kal The bush grabbed us we went in for the search. Soon realised where we should be looking. TFTC

Quick find in this small park.
Someone seems to have 'stolen' the info plaque.
On hols from Belfast.
TNLN SL
Thanks

Today I was heading home to Perth after spending a few nights in Kalgoorlie for some family birthdays. I was able to stop by here quickly on the way down the highway. I pulled up just nearby GZ on the laneway and jumped out to grab another find. TFTC MAC WA

This one surprised us as we kind of expected it to be at the school. But it was across the road. Tftc
