###Cache Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO.
The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 4 weeks to see if either
- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken
**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

Out and about this morning to find some geocaches in East Perth / Highgate!
After looking around the area for about 5 minutes, we noticed that there was a relatively new water pump near where the GPS was pointing. We came to the conclusion that the cache must have been moved when this pump was replaced.
Owner, would you please check the status of this cache so it can once again be found?!
Thanks,

Park pretty busy on a Saturday morning. Had a quick look but couldn’t get away with a more thorough look. TFTH!
Got here late in the day, so no one around, but still took a bit of looking,
but just saw it on my final sweep. good little hide
Thanks JacobsCrew

Out on the bicycle for a 13 hour long cycle around the Northern city fringe and Western suburbs to nab caches. Also stopped in at Kings Park for a GC event this evening! Started the day at 10am and didn't get home till just before 11pm. [xx(]
Once I figured out where I should be searching, I quickly had the cache in hand. [^] Cheers JacobsCrew!

Finally got this one after about 3 attempts haha! The problem was lots of muggles and assuming I knew where it would be when my gps wouldn’t settle. I assumed wrong and when I widened my search I found it straight away! I think the spitting rain helped clear out the park for me today. Thanks for the cache!
Even though I grabbed this in darkness I couldn't believe how many people were around. Don't they have homes to go to? Having been thwarted by the throngs on two previous occasions when here in the daylight, darkness is definitely recommended.
Collecting a few caches before I plan to do a few touristy things for the remainder of my day. This sneaky little blighter was luckily found in the first place I looked TFTC JacobsCrew
Tftc - A trip to Perth and the first thing on my mind was the caches.
Started with an Earthcache and moved on to the rest. Great place WA is, look forward to bringing the family back on a holiday.

Had to drop ML off in Northbridge so rather than drive straight back home and laze on the couch I thought I'd swing by a few caches on the way instead. Was gone 10pm by the time I got here so the area was deserted. Parked up just along the road then walked over to GZ. Flashed on the torch for a look and was pleased to make an immediate find Couldn't see to sign the log as the street lights are pretty sparse around here, and didn't want to stand in the street under a torch as that would just attract unwanted attention. So back to the car to sign - as others have said the log is full so squeezed in next to someone else - then just as I was about to get back out to replace the cache, someone came out of the shadows with a guitar and sat by the nearby swings! Drat. He lit up a smoke so figured he might just have popped out from a nearby apartment or something so I'll wait and see what happens. Still not sure but after he smoked it he got up again and walked off down the road. Phew - I nipped out and replaced it quick in case any other late night suburban smokers came along! TFTC
Find #1323
I was in the area due to the Glory vs Victory women's game, and had a few minutes to spare before meeting friends. I saw this one was nearby and headed down. A nice quick find, though the log is full. I managed to squeeze my name near a previous finder, but it does need replacing. TFTC!

Found this cache on Mother's Day. Have been wanting to find this cache for awhile and finally got here- never knew about this cute area of East Perth. Thanks for the cache. Needs a new log book.
Could have been tricky with various spots to hide a nano and dodging W-League supporters on the way to watch the Glory girls play but coords pretty good and cache was spotted when close to GZ. TFTC.
JacobsCrew, the cache is still there. I found your cache Work, Rest and Play dry and healthy. SL on slot 24. TFTH.
With the bicycle from cache to cache and so we discover Perth. Here we find the container quickly.
Thank you say Moorhelmi

Saw this one on the map while walking back to the car after the Socceroos World Cup qualifier the other night, few too many muggles about at the time. Stopped in today and made the quick find without a soul in sight.
JacobsCrew2 I found your cache at 4:29pm, this was the 1st of 1 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3466. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Had to feel around for this one as it was very carefully hidden. Luckily in hand quickly, before the mum with a baby and toddler came over to see what I was up to. TFTC
No idea where this sucker is. Third attempt during work breaks, first time there are no muggles. Still no joy. Next time perhaps!
I almost abandoned ship on this one, luckily i spotted it out of the corner of my eye as I was walking away. TFTC!! Dont give up on this one!
Find 1 of 7 with no DNFs on a leisurely bike ride from Claisebrook to Glendalough across the leafy part of town.
An unexpected small park and a quiet corner to hunt around in. First idea came to nothing so I relocated and then made the quick find. TFTC!

Great quick find second time around. Last time we were defeated by a torrential downpour, but found ourselves back in the area and geokid spotted it straight up. TFTC!
Third cache lucky for me today. This is a small but pretty park with plenty of muggles about. It did take a little while to locate as the coords seemed around 10m out.

In between meetings today, I had some time to kill so decided to grab a cache.
Parked nearby and wandered over for a nice quick find this morning.

Catching up on past finds, so a bit late on doing the online logs .
Quick find on Nano ( that's unusual for me!!)

Had driven past this park once before with the intention of stopping and looking for this cache but too many muggles soon changed that. Thankfully today was muggle free for a nice quick find. Tftc
Found it with BissraFranky. We had a bit hard time due to the GZ is off from the GPS location. Fortunate I have thin fingers. TFTC JacobsCrew2
Little one and gave us troubles. But at the end we got it.
Didn't know about such small park here
Thank you for invitation

Had to go into the city for some chores so after I had finished went for a walk to do a couple of caches nearby and this was one of them.
Initially didn't find it but went over GZ a second time and this time didn't miss it. Log signed and cache replaced just before a large group of muggles descended on the area.
Thanks JacobsCrew2 for the cache.

Found with geo son en route to a Glory game at NIB stadium. Little critter was hiding well but we finally spotted it. Thanks!
Found on an early morning bike ride. Had to somehow not look suspicious as dozens of students wandered around the area en masse. Not sure where they were coming from or heading to, but there were lots of them passing by the park, which made the search even more difficult. Eventually the stream of people stopped and I could complete my searching, grabbing, signing and returning duties. Thanks for thew cache.
Passing through the area so I stopped for a quick look. Spotted quickly. SL TFTC
Originally logged under family name of clan-wallace now slowly transitioning to new name
Went to an hospitality evening at NIB Stadium for the start of Western Force's 10 th season, also have a TB who wants to visit football grounds. Well this is Rugby but Perth Glory play soccer here too. NEF & a great night as well. TFTC
Was in the area to watch Perth Glory women in the grandfinal at Nib stadium so I thought I would grab a cache too
Had a quick look before heading to the airport but couldn't find it and time was running out! I'll be back at some stage though to try again (next visit)!
Tftc. Second time here for a find. Walked from home then realized we didn't bring a pen. Posted photo
Found on a second attempt. I know better now to trust the GPS rather than my 'instincts'. (Well, sometimes!) TFTC
I guess the little fingers helped with this one - of should I say two! I guess the muggles did not get this one as there are two caches. We signed the newest one but left them both in place. Yet another little park we didn't know existed but will certainly visit again. Thanks for the cache (2).
TFTC! Found whilst meeting up with JacobsCrew after the WWFM event today in Forrest Chase
Can you please check on this cache has not been logged for 3 months, checked everywhere, even using geo tools to look in every nook and cranny and in likely places but came up empty handed, no muggles around, which made searching easier on this wet Sunday.
I was early for my appointment at the hospital, so I stopped in here to try and find this one on the way. My accountant has his office just around the corner from here.
I tried a few spots, and came up with nothing, then read the previous logs, and decided to go in for another grab, and put my hand on the nano this time around.
Thanks for the cache JacobsCrew!

Quick easy find on the way home from work. I lost it in the dust for a bit as I fumbled it with fat fingers, but all good in the end. Tftc
GPS was not playing fair this afternoon, however I thought this would have been a straight forward find. Checked over the three most logical structures closest to where my GPS was suggesting GZ might be, but failed to turn up this nano.
After volunteer at Deaf Society, search for a while until the GPS settle down and finally found the nano and signed the log. Thanks JacobsCrew.
[:(!] After work I ride to my abode on my geobike and making a slight detour I managed to pick up some caches along the way, this was one of them, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes as this was my second attempt, in the morning I had no luck in location the nano, my fingers must have had no feelings at that time of the morning.

Thanks to JacobsCrew for the ***FTF***. I was actually riding home through Dalkeith with no intention of heading this way when my bike chain snapped sheer through one of the links. Plenty of grease, a little bit of blood and 20 minutes of walking saw me arrive on Stirling Highway to the super bike men at TBE who fixed my bike. Worried I may experience further bike trouble, I headed for the railway bike path. When I came down the Claisebrook Bridge, the East Perth park multi appeared on my GPSr. This prompted me to veer off the path and check my phone in case this cache was nearby. As it turns out, it was 68m away!!!! Yay! So I headed down the one way street and logged a quick find. Thanks for the hide JacobsCrew; great to see you hiding a bit closer to home (my home that is ).
