Found paper work for it and possible location remains and have contacted co
Riding the geo-bike to clear the Greek Alphabet series and some other caches in the area.
This was meant to be the last cache of the day, spent about 10 minutes around GZ but no find in the end. I found a likely spot where the cache might have been hidden a 20x30cm hole under a tree, but no sign of the container.

Awesome hide, took a few attempts to close but really worth it. Left a Travel Coin. TFTC
What a cool cache! All I can say is thank god for the instructions! Can't imagine having to compete without them! Favourite point from us. TFTC
Awesome TFTC
Got it open in but took 45 mins to close have to be a favourite took slow small moves

Still there! After two or three logs of DNF...I was a bit worried. Not any more. It was actually partially exposed but remedied that. Have fun!
We couldn't find it either even with four pairs of eyes! Maybe Shayne has taken it home to be repaired. Hope no-one has stolen his special box 
Had a look around but no luck finding this one today even with 3 pairs of eyes . Maybe it was in the spiky bush after all! Will have to put on watch list and return later. Thanks any way shayne'o.
. Maybe it was in the spiky bush after all! Will have to put on watch list and return later. Thanks any way shayne'o.What a wonderful time Gypsy Roaming and I had with this cache.
Sitting in the luxury of Gypsy's air conditioned car we set about tackling the lovely little box!
With a list of instructions there was no possible way we could screw this cache up.........
Time was tick,tick ticking....but eventually the Gypsy gave a cry of joy...wow we have got it
Now it was time for the easy part...putting it back together ... but not so [B)]
Time was tick,tick ticking again..I lost track of how many times we had opened and tried to shut the box from hell, it just would not play the game.
Serious help was required so it was phone the CO who had thankfully left his contact details.Now with some hints given...we would surely get it
then another call [:o)]....then another call ..[?]......... happily in the end shayne'o decided he would come and rescue us.[^]
Without doubt a favourite point from me as this cache took us through every emotion in the book and then some. Great to meet you shanye'o and thanks for a top cache and lots of fun.

Finding the cache was the easy part.
Getting the tricky box opened and closed another story.
Thank goodness for air conditioning. Woo hoo, opened and opened and opened. Despite our best efforts as time ticked away.....this little box just did not want to close completely.
Help from the cache owner was needed. Shayne'o came to the rescue and reset the magic box.
It was great meeting you Shayne'o. A favourite for this one. What a great cache. Look forward to finding more of your caches.

The fiond was easy enough and I returned to the car to complete my task.
First problem, previous finder hadnt completed the task and the puzzle was mid-progress.
The next 15 minutes were spent trying to close it just so I could open it !!!
That done, I started the unlocking process.It was like a scene from Mission Impossible. Sweat beading and all.
This way, that way, WRONG WAY....start again !!!!
Anyhow, long stopry short, I got there in the end with a nice little log book ready to sign.
I dropped in a Kyzabra tag for the next finder and proceded to lock it back up. This was a challenge in itself !!!!
Finally done. The reverse is definately more complicated than forwards.
TFTH Shayne'o
Just remember everyone, please take the time to put it back as you found it in ALL respects.

This was our 1st cache find in a caching run of 18 Finds & 0 DNFs today.
We found it at 10:54 so this now makes our total find count 7624.
[blue]
We have caught up with our geo-friends "The Drovers" and will be spending a few weeks travelling and caching with them.
Today we branched out on our own cache raid, because they have already done some of these.
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Around 2 metres.)
Cache Condition: Container wooden box appearsto be broken - although still operative, the log book is in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks shayne'o for the hunt today.

I found this one with Mum & Dad (jasenjanine). A tricky little cache this one ... TFTC shayne'o
Heading out to Dwellingup for a drive today, we made the diversion to stop by this cache for our second visit... This time Jase found the cache quickly, just where we thought it should be
I'm not sure it was a good idea trying to do this one with two noisy kids trying to get our attention, but we did eventually get it [:o)] We seemed to keep getting stuck around the same point, so we would go back to square one & then try again... We would have been jumping for joy once it was finally open except that we were in the car trying to escape the heat!
TFTC shayne'o... Very nice puzzle box & in good condition too [^] Cache is now replaced as found waiting to torment the next visitor

I have only just noticed ian-and-pennys log saying that the container seems to be broken. It was in perfect condition when we left it, so it definitely wasn't us who broke it. What a shame, as i would imagine that a box like that wouldn't be easy to come by
Retrieved the geocoin after a notification that someone had visited the cache. Just as well as it had suffered the creeps. I found the cache under the same tree that it always seems to creep to...it is a similar looking tree I do admit. Placed the cache back it its original spot and logged my visit. Enjoy!
Great challenge. Had this one sorted in no time. Dropped of Sun Catcher TB. TFTC.
Definitely one of my favorite caches yet! Great idea and loved the challenge tftc
Definately one of my favorites caches yet great idea and love the challenge TFTC
We found it! We opened it! We signed the log! and after much effort we closed it properly for the next Challenger to open!
Longer story.....
We arrived at GZ having spent the day visiting our family in Mandurah, now on our return trip to our caravan in Kelmscott we had time to hunt for this one. We arrived at 2.50pm and after a brief search had the cache in hand, by close to 3pm we had the log book in hand and whilst swatting mosquitoes we managed to sign it. THEN came the closing.... We were going well but the mozzies were doing better and so after a few more minutes and with the though of contracting some exotic disease as we probably aren't as immune to southwest mozzies as we used to be we retreated cache in hand to our Landcruiser. After around 10 minutes we were finally able to return the closed box to the cache and return the whole lot to its hiding spot.
A top idea for a cache we loved it, and the mozzies as a timer..... well who would have thought of that... LOL.

Found the cache snuggly hidden under the leaf matter. Got into the puzzle ok, locking it back up was an issue. All good now and back under the leaves.
I dropped in on my way home from work today to check the location that shayne'o had replaced the cache at, and I can confirm that this is the same location where wot and I found and replaced the cache on Sunday. This also matches richlink's description. The coordinates today were 5m out with a 9m accuracy.
Have contacted a few people regarding the misplaced cache and it is now back in play thanks to their help. Thanks also to Moonlitz for confirming that the cache is there and also the coordinates. As no one is struggling to find the cache, I'll keep the coordinates as they are. If you have any more troubles or updates on the condition of the cache, just let me know...much appreciated!
In the area today we dropped by this one today, hoping we could open the box??? Well we couldn't even find it We did find an indentation looking very cache like & rang a previous finder for help... Hope it hasn't gone AWOL as it sounds very special to you shayne'o
We did find an indentation looking very cache like & rang a previous finder for help... Hope it hasn't gone AWOL as it sounds very special to you shayne'o When we found it yesterday the co-ords were not accurate but we replaced it where it was found.
The cache has been located and is now back its original location. I also checked the coordinates and they are within a meter or two on this particular occasion. I looked at GZ and sure enough...exactly as described in the log by jasenjanine. Before allowing myself to believe it had been muggled, I treated this like I was searching for a cache that I didn't own. I gave myself the usual 15m radius (my rule for looking for a cache) from GZ and sure enough I found it in about 90 seconds. The cache was out in the open so to speak and not hidden at all. However it was in a similar looking spot 14m away. Mistaken GZ identity perhaps?
Please don't take this as a rant or a know it all cacher, (cos I don't think that I know everything...I know I know everything and I just can't help that. JUST KIDDING!!!) but I just thought I'd share a few of shayne'o top tips for anyone who reads this. (Not just for this cache, but for all caches)
1. When I'm searching for the cache and it isn't at GZ, don't assume that the given coordinates are wrong or it must have been muggled. I always try to remember that many things can effect my GPS and it could be me that is wrong. Things like power lines, density of the trees or buildings that might be around me, cloud cover and weather in general and of course the fact that there may be a lack of satellites above me to give me an accurate coordinate.
2. Don't ASSUME you know where it is. As I didn't hide it, there is no way that I can know where it is, think outside the USUAL and keep looking.
3. Give yourself a 15m radius to look in. Consider the fact that it could have suffered from the creeps. In my experience, this has been the case on many occasions, hence my golden rule of at least 15m radius regardless of the size or location of the cache. There have been many occasions that I have read in previous logs on different caches, that the previous cacher 'placed the cache back where they thought it should go'. This is frustrating both for the cacher that follows and for the CO when it comes time for maintenance, but following my golden rule has nearly always rewarded me with a smiley!
4. If ever I have misplaced GZ and can't find the correct place to put the cache back, (this happened to me once at night in the bush when I first started out) I just hid it as close to GZ as possible and contacted the CO so that they could come and place the cache in the correct position. That way the next to find the cache isn't having their time wasted by looking for something that isn't there.
5. Finally if I have done all of the above and completed my checklist of rules, then I start to consider the fact that coordinates may be out or that it may be muggled. Either way, a quick note to the CO is my final option to explain what I did and for them to confirm if it may be missing or that the coordinates are out. I did this recently as I found a cache 33m away from GZ. (it was a FTF opportunity and things just weren't as the clues described) It turned out that the coordinates were out as the CO was new at geocaching and was unaware that the overcast and stormy conditions effected the coordinates that much. They went out on a clear day and made the adjustments to the readings. They were grateful that I contacted them so that they could make their cache a good cache that people find and enjoy.
AAAAANNNNNYYYYway...the cache is back at GZ with accuracy within 10m and some of shayne'o's top geocaching tips as an added bonus!
Happy caching!

The cache was replaced under a gum tree 4 mts from where our gps directed us and covered in leaf litter - as we had found it.
Fabulous, we both loved it. Didn't take long at all. I read the instructions while geo-hubby did the moves. Signed the log and left our pathtag. Thanks for a clever puzzle and a BIG thanks for the instructions or we'd still be there.
Out with the better half on a drive south down the freeway. We seemed to be following OOH YEH as they were the previous finders in this cache and most of the previous ones we visited today.
Don't know about the placement or accuracy as we just headed to the obvious spot without looking at the GPS but we did put it back in the same spot it came from as it was a bit hard to miss the depression in the leaf litter that it had made.
The only problem we had was at one spot in the opening it wouldn't budge so reversed the moves and started again with a similar result. It got past that move on the third try so don't know what was going on. It seemed to be stuck a bit putting it back together as well as it took 4 trys to get it closed again. This puzzle as a few more moves than the one I had but the start is similar.
Thanks shayne'o for the cache.

Woke up this morning and the geo wife said you need to get these caches for me , so who am I to complain out I shot not even giving the geo wife a kiss good bye manage to get 12 finds and no DNFs for 4 hours work....this one was a quick find ...... But then it was time to open the puzzle box to get the log book well that was a challenge ....in the end called the CO and he promptly came and put it in the right order ...we chatted for awhile and swapped trackables then replaced the log and box ......great puzzle box give you a fav point and TFTC
wot and I dropped in on our way home from Perth to do this cache.
We were fully expecting this one to take 45 mins or so, however the cache was easily located, and once we took it back to the car and started following the prompts, it only took 5 minutes in total to open the box, sign the log book then close the box again. Perhaps it was made easier by having 2 people do it - so I just read out the prompts and wot did the movements.
Awesome cache as always, shayne'o!

Out for a few caches today before the rains set in.
[:o)]
First cache for the day, the mozzies made this even more of a challenge. I had to read the cheat sheet a couple of times, but then the challenge was complete.
Thanks for the cache shayne'o [^]
This is my find number 2638

Didn't take us too long to find and open the cache. It was nice to find something that wasn't a systema or mint tin! Tftc.
Out today with Mr Luna Maya. Lucky for us the expected showers mainly kept away - we were able to enjoy the spring sunshine After doing some caches in the Henderson area, Mr Luna Maya expressed interest in travelling to the Mandurah area to purchase some car parts for our geomobile So while in the area we ventured out to this cache ! IT did take some patience - unlocking the container was easy, locking again took Mr Luna 2 goes. He did this while sitting on the ground being attacked by savage mosquitos, while I tried to help with the Aeroguard ! In total. the cache took 15 minutes to find, solve and return to the car . SL I took the Urch pathtag. TFTC Shayn'o - added to our favourites for the puzzle

Before I knew it, we were off in the car headed in the opposite direction. After heading north first, we then returned via the freeway to have a try at this one. Looked in the wrong place first, doh. Then realized the error of our ways and looked in the right spot. The log container was exactly what I was expecting, but no way would we have been able to get it open without instructions. Even then, it took a bit of trial and error. But we got there in the end.
Thanks for a cache with a difference shayne'o

It didn't take much prompting from Mistraluna to get me out of the house to find a few of these newer caches. This was the last of them attempted today.
We searched for some time in the original spot, getting very concerned that it had been muggled already, but when checking the online info saw that it had been moved, and then it was a quick find.
Retreated with the box back to the car as the mozzies were trying to carry us away, and spend some time trying to follow the instructions. At last the lid popped off, and then it was another matter again to get it all back to the start again.
Left my pathtag. Thanks for a cache with a difference and the challenge shayne'o.

Fantastic Hide, and Box. We only had to read it once. The reverse instructions were trickier. When we pulled up we thought the boot hanging in the tree might have something to do with it. Ha ha, nope. I need one of those boxes. TFTC
Coordinates changed from:
S 32° 30.416 E 115° 48.166
Coordinates changed to:
S 32° 30.404 E 115° 48.185
Distance from original: 121.6 feet or 37 meters.
Due to gaining some inside information from KEKEMO about a cache that was in this exact location a few years ago being muggled due to being too near to the parking bay, despite it being covered quite well, I have moved the cache further away from the parking bay.
The cache can now be found at S 32 30.404 E 115 48.185 with an accuracy of 5m.
Should there be any future problems or things I may need to know about to improve and keep this cache safe, fell free to txt or call. Enjoy!

Saw this cache published and decided to give it a crack. Phoned work to say I will be a little late and arrived at GZ to see Bekstar12 already into the puzzle. Once again Shayne'o you have created another interesting cache as getting the log wasn't too bad, but resetting the puzzle took me ages. Great to meet you Shayne'o and Bekstar12, look forward to seeing you around.......
FTF oh what an adventure. Saw the cache published just before the school drop off run. Came straight from school to the gz. Found cache in the rain and brought it to the car. Started work on the challenge30 and came somewhat unstuck. Half of joo and eth team arrived and couldn't figure it out either. A quick email to the CO with my phone number saw a prompt arrival of Shane'o at gz who was able to reset the challenge. Eventually managed to open the very clever challenge! However closing it was just as challenging. Excellent cache took me just over an hour. Fav point awarded.
