By buttoncrazy on 20-Oct-13. Waypoint GC4QMVD

Heading to Freo to pickup a recently published cache and remembered reading that this had been recently found. Dodging an early morning shower we managed to find this and add our name to the log book.
TFTC buttoncrazy this is find # 8481 for us.

Happened to be around with another set of visitors today. Gave it one last red hot go. Mummy Laxa was quite literally ready to walk away when Dad shouted an excited 'Wait, I think if got something'. The cache was in surprisingly good condition. Better than expected. Yes, the camo has seen better days and the log needed an additional strip to write our names on, but other than that nothing wrong with it. Glad we found that thing finally, also a bit sad to see it been archived.

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 http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

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

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.

Good find very clever cache but it defiantly needs new log paper

This had us searching for quite a while. Got at the right angle and then found it. Crafty little hide!

Easy find

Unfortunately, the CO has not responded to this cache's issues as outlined in Nitokris666's NM log dated 25/8/17. Time to bring it to the Reviewer's attention.

First cache in Freo!
Logbook is full and very wet.

Nice hide! First find in Fremantle!

Was passing by in very average weather and stopped by for a second search...it had been very busy first time but the wet rainy weather gave me the peace and quite to have a good search...found after a few minutes...inpulse stop and had no pen so hopefully photo will cover it...tftc

This one really frustrated me when I couldn't find it a few days ago. Seeing as we were on our way back to Perth for one more night before flying home to Sydney tomorrow (after attending the WA Goes Big Event in Rockingham), the geowife suggested we give this one more crack. We arrived at the familiar GZ and began another search. A further 20min went by when suddenly my Geowife said, "What's that?" Sure enough, it was the cache! So pleased to have a smiley here now. It seems a very strange cache container to have here. As previous finders have indicated, the container is broken and in need of replacement by the CO. Thanks for adding to my global geocaching experiences.

No luck today at this one. I really didn't have much time to look as my parking time was about to expire. Interesting location to come to. Thanks anyway.

Went for a look a couple of nights ago when we were in the area but couldnt find. Then went home and looked at the clues. Oh, I saw that but didn't think anything of it says the other half. So went back today and found it. Couldn't sign the log because its wet and disintegrating. The case is broken.

Case broken, log wet and crumbling.

Staying in Fremantle for work. Before dinner, drove to GZ. Showed a colleague the dark arts of caching. Soon spied the container. Colleague thought it was pretty cool. Slight pity the house needs some 'renovation'. TFTC buttoncrazy

Thank you! I planned to visit the four metro LGAs I hadn't yet cached in, and dad offered come along and do the driving. This one took a while to spot, including waiting for a security guard to check a few things and move on. We eventually found the creative cache, which could do with a little maintenance.

Nice quick find. The log is very wet, sorry we weren't prepared for caching so couldnt replace it. TFTC

Excellent hiding place may need to shell out on a new container though!

So pleased to have found this. Sometimes you've just got to stand back and have a good old think (and look).
Thanks

Searched for quite some time with Snap Happy but no treasure was found...

**Didn't find it...**

Too good for me today...
Either my caching eyes weren't working or this one need checking...

Thanks anyway buttoncrazy...

Tried several times in October 2015, but no luck, so felt down under. Back Fremantle again today, so had another go. It was much quieter and led to a nice quick find. Though whether I can really call it a quick find after nearly two years of looking.... TFTC.

Needed a diligent look for this cache as the GPS was playing up. TFTC

While visiting family in W.A. we caught the train down to Freemantle for a look around and pick up a cache to mark our visit.
This cache took a while to find as it not in view but thankfully there where no muggles around today.
Thanks for bringing us to this area as after our find we decided to go on the submarine tour which proved to be very interesting.

Found it. Almost gave up. Love these sorts of ones.

This was our second try and it took a while. We were about to give up again, when i looked at the right angle were i had looked before. TFTC

Knew what to look for as we have a cache like this. Finding it was fun between muggles. No pen so hope photo will suffice.

Awesome camo, tricky to find, but easy to see

Great cache thanks for the cache on a lovely Sunday arvo. TFTC

Took a while to locate his cache but once I knew what was looking for it was only a matter of time. Great cache

Tftc

Awesome little cache! Good find

TFTC

Tftc great day in Fremantle

Found it tftc

Nice cammo. Found it after a good search

Late log from 12th may.

Not today, searched all over but we're defeated. We will be back

Good find at the end of our Australian adventure. Off back to the UK tonight. TFTC

After some persistance, and going in!, we found it. TFTC.

Almost gave up but after "going in" paired with photo hints we got there.

What an excellent camo! TfTC

Has been a long time since I have been out caching with old friend urch. After meeting up this morning at an event in Mandurah, she said she was heading northwards later in the day to grab a few caches and hopefully attend another event in Fremantle this evening. I was up for the adventure, so a plan was put into action. Filled in a few hours doing cache maintenance and such, and then we were off.

This was to be our last find before heading off to the event at Little Creatures Brewery. Another one found by torchlight whilst all the time expecting security to show up and demand what we were up to. Found it after a bit of searching and trolling through past logs to glean any hints. But we found it eventually, poor little thing it is now. Thanks for the smiley buttoncrazy

Slowly working our way north to Freo for the Dönerstag event and this was our lucky last one as darkness had now won out. We searched this structure by phone light for quite some time before resorting to the hint and then to logs and then to photos. These were a great help and then the little sucker was soon found, signed and replaced, and we were off to the Event.
Thanks for showing us this structure and for the cache buttoncrazy.

I timed this one for an after hours visit and dropped in shortly before dusk. GZ was obvious on approach but there are a ton of hiding spots to work through... I got lucky though and after ruling out a couple of locations, I manoeuvred into the right position and spotted the container... []

Out with the cache and log, I etched my name and tucked everything back in place.

A nicely constructed container. Thanks buttoncrazy.

Found skis

08:36
With a few spare minutes before boarding the Rottnest Express, we made a
second visit - we had messaged the CO for a hint but alas, nothing was forthcoming in the way of advice or information!

We checked out a couple of theories as we looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was still no way we could work this one out!

Thanks for the hunt anyway buttoncrazy .

13:46
We came, we looked, but to no avail.

Singapore - Perth - Rottnest Island - Penguin Island - Geraldton - Kalbarri - Denham - Carnarvon - Coral Bay - Exmouth - Port Hedland - Broome - Darwin and all Nationalparks on our way

Our trip with Stopover in Singapore and through Western Australia to the Northern Territory with the Campervan from Perth to Darwin led us to many beautiful caches. Sometimes the temperatures were very high for us Europeans, but we have always managed the walk well and are looking forward to standing so many miles from home in the logbook. Australia is a very fantastic country, with lots of sights and especially so many animals, from the kangaroo over dugongs, dolphins, emu's and even the blue whale and the whale shark we have seen a lot. We would like to thank all the owners for the layout of the caches, their care and the showing of mostly special places.

We send many greetings and a G 'Day from Leipzig in Germany from the 2 Supermuggels

Knew what I was looking for but just couldn't find the little critter

Third time lucky the container is looking a bit beaten up but still ok.

A very cool hide. Thanks for the cache. TAD

Hard to find! Had to leave and come back before we found it

First find ever. It was awesome!

Very tricky good one

Found, backing logging now Ive updated my profile TFTC

Our 1st attempt to find a cache in Oz ended in failure! Used the clue but still no joy) It turned out to be a pretty busy spot but nothing doing. TFTC anyway

Wow! After an hour searching I managed to spie the Cache! Thanks for such a hunt

Took us a long time but my six year old found it! Clue and photos helped! The very clever 'container' needs replacing though. TFTC!

Out for a day of caching with Dimor.
Great ship shape artifacts here.
Thanks for sharing this spot.
TFTC

Out caching in the metro area with pood again today with a good few to find around different areas

Me needing one more date to fill my hidden calendar so I put this one on our caching list last night.
GPS and iphone took a few minutes to settle down tho we knew what cache was on. A quick glance here and there then pood yelled she had found it.
Yayyyyyyy

Haven't been down this area for years, well before the museum was here but sadly no time to go and look as have to travel well SOR

TFTC

replaced cache as found

TFTC
A good find and great hunt.

Found this little critter on our third attempt! Glad to have finally got this one! Here with Gypsy12!!

TFTC!

First time caching with Kagers17. Trying to learn the ropes. TFTC

Lubob4 & family from Czech Republic

Finally made a find here when in Fremantle off the Sun Princess. TFTC!

Quick find this time after a short walk down form disembarking Sun Princess.

Thanks buttoncrazy

Third visit and came up with a "Smiley Face". Clever idea and seems to be staying intact. Thanks for setting up the cache buttoncrazy.

Searched several minutes for this one and just couldn't make the spot. Looks like I'm not alone. Thanks for the hunt!

Good look but a few muggles hindered us!

Joining a long list of cachers who didn't find this. We will be back though.

Well, well you've got us stumped on this one buttoncrazy. Looked on Saturday and again today and all we could come up with is a "Sad Face". Can't imagine where it is. TFTC anyway.

A beautiful day with a lot of nice Caches. What for a wonderful day!
So we come to see if we can find. Thanks for the great ideas . Here we search a Long time. At least we can find!
A lot of greetings from Moorhelmi

Have been here every time we have visited geogaughter in Padbury but the area has always been too busy to search.
Had to wait for a tour party to vacate the area before starting!
Looked all over the place and then the penny dropped. It was found in the only possible place, easy to say once it has been found.
Signed a clean log sheet and all replaced without being disturbed
TFTC Buttoncrazy.
A bit of renovation is required in the near future though!

Searched a d searched for a good half an hour. Had the place to myself on a quiet Sunday late afternoon too. No sign of it. Looked at all the spoiler photos. No sign of it.

I am in Perth to participate in the 2016 World Master Athletics Championships all the way from South Africa and today we had our last event this morning and I am proud to announce that I was lucky enough to win a broze medal, this left me with the afternoon to do a bit of traveling and caching.

With my arrival at GZ I met up with a friendly German (I think) cacher but he had to leave before finding the cache. I managed to find the cache fairly quickly, thanks for the effort with the cache, FP from me. The log sheet was full so I replaced it, the container is a bit broken but still functional. Thank you for placing this cache!!

"Simplicity is a prerequisite for reliability." - Edsger Dijkstra

I have searched twice (in the morning and afternoon) and together almost for a half hour. I did not downolad the spoiler photo, but I was sure I understand to hint. I had no luck

Second try within the last 4 weeks. This time we had a closer look at the spoiler pictures: Ahhh, now we had a better understanding of what we have to look for! Nice idea - thanks!

Had a really really good look, but no luck.

Could not find it

Yay Matty16 and I found it!! Only took us multiple attempts while cycling around freo (^.^)

Nice hide needs new log sheet tftf!

Visiting family in WA and there is also time for geocaching. Clever hide

TFTC and greetings from Germany!

Found with BellaMin on a nice day in Freo.Giving you a favorite point since I have one of those containers as well [^]

TFTC

Finally found it having looked many times. Took a 5 five year old to spot it. SL TFTC

Cache container needs repair

Found out, but cache is broken no log to sign. Excellent cache and hiding spot

Not there

What a great location, very disappointed that the cache is gone.

Could the owner please replace.

Judging by the pics, it's not there anymore.

We will return

It’s an impressive submarine, maybe we were so impressed by its largeness, that we couldn’t find the small cache. Our GPS was also distracted by such a large lump of steel, so we were not really able to find ground zero.
Thanks for bringing us here and greetings from the Netherlands.

Five pairs of eyes, no luck for us. Will be back.

TFTC!!

DNF

Very very good cache!! Liked the challenge!!

Lucky no muggles. Had a good hard look and could not find.

Co-ords were pretty accurate for me and the name is a big clue. Spent a some time waiting for muggles to pass but found it after a while. The outer structure is damaged but its still usable Good idea for camo, thanks!
