Logs
I am archiving this cache due to the unfortunate lack of action taken to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Usher On, 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,

###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 Usher On 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.

No luck for us with this one. Perhaps it was lost when the earthworks were completed by the port.
Hi,
There are a few DNFs on this one. Would you mind checking if it's still there?
Thanks.

Had a good scramble over the rocks with a friend and her kids but came up empty. Got to go for a swim tho so it was worth the effort
Really enjoyed the walk along the beach.
I had some time off work and decided to get away for a couple of nights camping and caching. I love this part of the State so there was no hesitation about my destination for the adventure. This cache was one I stopped for along the way. Cheers and TFTC.
G’day there Usher On, I was in this area today and found your cache Power House breakwater GC4GFG8. I added my name to the log book at 12:05 pm on 25 November 2019. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!
This cache find brings our total find count to 11109. Woohoo!!

I took the long walk method. I don't think the car could have done it. Very quiet beach today. TFTC.
Replaced container under large rock with smaller rocks covering
On the way to WAGB, so decided to go from cache to cache starting just before australind and heading to our accomodation in Busselton.
Some huge walks today, clearing the map as on previous visits we have cached out all of the park and grabs in the area.
A good day out with some thirty odd finds. Thanks to the local COs with their caches.

After leaving early in the morning to finish my maintenance run on my heading south caches I met up with B12 and C10 in bunbury to grab a few caches. Knowing they were a lot fitter then me I knew they would be good for the hill climbs lol....A few more green dots changed to smileys so happy with the caches we found. Thanks to the CO,S for placing these caches.
Big day back down the Forrest highway with the aim of picking up all the dots left on the map between Bunbury and the caravan park where we were staying ready for the WAGB Event this weekend.
Ended up missing out on the Capel area caches as we ran out of time, will get these in the next few days.
Yes a few days earlier however given the time commitment to the event we needed to arrive early to be able to find all the caches in the area.
Some lengthy walks today as we have cherry picked all the P+G’s on every other trip!
A great day out on the road and in the sun. TFTH TFTC

I went to do this cache til I read the last log, then decided I won’t be walking 1.5 k to get a cache that has not been found for some time. Will add to my watch list to see if any activity there. Thanks
Since no one has claimed a find here since July, I wonder if the winter storms have removed it. Mike Smallman and I hunted through the rocks with no luck at all, so maybe it is half way to Africa by now. Might be worth checking on.
Thought I'd come down here after an early release from work. A lovely day to be at the beach, maybe summer is coming after all
Easy find and not lots of rock climbing involved

Wow it is certainly very fragrant out here. We got to see a ship coming in while we were here and also admired the 'white rocks'
Everything in in good order

Working at a local gym I was definatly up for the 1.5 km jog down the beach. Stopped for another cache close by but silly me didnt wear shoes did I ?? So couldn't get close enough to it because of all the prickles lol . So was very relieved with this easy find. TFTC and exercise!!!
Thx Usher On. If at first you don't find the cache have another go and I found it second attempt.
Nice drive along the beach, ran into richlink and iluvtrekking, nice to finally meet some fellow cachers on the hunt
Thx Usher On. A nice walk but could not find cache. Spent a good while turning over many rocks. It was quite overcast so perhaps I could not see for looking.
After completing some cache maintenance earlier in the day, we decided to check out a few local caches. This one had been on our radar for a while but the first day of summer proved to be ideal weather for the walk along the beach. Plenty of activity along the foreshore with fishing and dog walking muggles along the length of our walk, even cars parked up on the groyne. The 'frauleine' enjoyed her romp along the waterline and making friends with the other pooches we passed. Used her as a decoy at gz to grab the container so as not to attract attention from muggles who were fishing from the groyne. Walked back along the fenceline as mentioned in rjm1's log but don't think we'd agree that it was easier than the beach approach. Thanks Usher On for the cardio workout!
Day 24 of the 31 day challenge. We walked along the beach to this one and by the look of all the 4WD tracks, must be the only people to do so. The beach to the south of the groyne almost looked inviting. We came back via the track along the fence and that was much easier going.

Lovely afternoon for a walk with geowife. Took longer than it should have to find. TFTH
A quick find after a lovely walk along the beach ocean was flat this morning. TFTC
Woohoo a FTF 
@ 4.45pm. A bonus as my second one this week 
and I don't even own an iphone so a bit slower as I have to download to my gps.
Had a roast in the oven and muggle partner didn't want to leave it and I didn't want to walk all that way along the beach so I turned the oven right down and we jumped in the 4wd and headed out to get cache.
The 200 series needed a small workout in this chilly weather anyway.
Was an easy find at gz. Wasn't until I got home that I realised it had been published for over three hours and I hadn't noticed as was busy doing things away from computer.
Took TB. Thanks Usher On for the cache

Forgot to add Turkey Lurkey to the cache inventory before activating. Congrats to dimor on a FTF.
Just got back from my late night shopping trip ... and cache hunt! Was hoping for a FTF, but alas, dimor beat me! Anyways, congrats to dimor and it was a nice drive down there at 9pm at night. TFTC!
