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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache within 7 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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 page and post a 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.

Can this cache please be checked on? Otherwise its time to go. It hasn't been found since October 2015. It has wasted a few cacher's searches and has not been checked on despite the request for maintenance.

No find. Needs attention.

Didn't find the cache but found a poor little kitten. We tried to catch him but he was too quick and scared. Good luck little fella.

After an extensive search at GZ nothing to be found. I think this one is missing after a few DNF's

Hi there. Can CO please check this one. No finds since October which is unusual for a difficulty 1.5. Thanks in advance

No idea where this one was.

Spent way too long looking. DNF for us today.

Ah, ethane, C2H6...just add an O and you are looking at the solution to all life's problems, according to Homer Simpson. Unfortunately I didn't have any C2H5OH on me to drown my sorrows here. I turned over a lot of organic material - pine needles mainly - but couldn't find any plastic containers. I will keep an eye on the logs for this one and will return. TFTH.

TFTH we were onto this time!

The rest of the crew cruised on to this one while Magpie51 and Geo T were still looking at the previous hide! Quick easy find here! TFTC

Out caching with Lazarus 68 today, searched around the area for a while before making the grab, thought this would be a little quicker, but we got there in the end. Thanks for the cache.

Thank you

A good park and grab tftc

Took longer than expected but we got there in the end. Now to complete the rest of the series.

Had a friend in town and promised him a caching run so a loop of the canning was decided upon, so with kb in tow we spent an afternoon on the bikes.

Tracked down hastily

Caching with Col117 and KB today on bikes, did a trip round the water. Great route with great views and superb caches. Having fun cycling along the lane here, also the weather and everything. TFTC.

Second visit here after passing on it some months ago. A quick find today. TFTC

With the wife and daughter away at school camp and me up earlier than usual to drop off the lad at school, I decided to make the most of the week of annual leave I’m on and get some finds in on as many days as I can.

This is day four of my week of caching and having done from Farrington Road down south to the end of the series, the top half has been a blight of green on my map for years.

The plans to turn them all yellow today fell afoul of the weather a couple of DNFs and time.

As my previous finds on this series I found the cords to be pretty spot on and most finds were as I pulled up and spotted that suspicious pile of wood or rocks. The real easy ones were those completely out in the open, I replaced them in the likely spot and covered of course.

I failed at a few on the ride towards the city and had to abandon my plans to search again on the way back.

Thanks to BlaKids & LouBla once again for a great (long) series. I will find them all eventually..

last one for today, I'm soaked but happy!

Well hidden with poor GPS accuracy it was a little challenge. TFTC.

This took me quite a while but in the end all good. Great area for cycling...thanks loubla

I've been deliberately steering clear of the periodic table series of caches so that I could do them in chunks using pedal power when spring returned. I had no idea that there were so many caches in the series now that the CO had run out of elements! The name of this cache alone did bring up memories of the chemistry classes AusLoron and I shared. Fun fact: Did you know that AusLoron replaced the boring white buttons on her chemistry lab coat with buttons with ladybirds on them? She had the most stylish coat in the lab. Thanks for the cache and the trip down memory lane

GPS readings were tricky because of all the trees overhead but after searching a few likely spots we came up with the goods. Elrin and I are trying not to have flashbacks to our Organic Chemistry units...

Good hiding spot!

That was a hard one for me!

Found it- easy!

Another nice quick find TFTC

Decided to go for a nice pathway/river walk and grabbed this on the way.

Continuing my walk around the bridges hunting for ducks and some hydrocarbons as well, this one took a couple of minutes but spotted quickly once I turned my attention from what I thought were the obvious hiding spots.

SL. Thanks for the hide Loubla.

Might catch up at the WA Goes Big Event at Busso in May

A quick find while out today - a pleasant mid 20 degrees today and for a few days so a great day to come. SL. Thanks to loubla for the cache.

Had to search a bit for this one ons warm evening walk. TFTC

After coming up empty handed last time I walked past, today I quickly had the cache in hand. TFTC Loubla

Down on the South side of the river for a ride and to grab some new and forgotten caches.
This was a bit trickier than the rest of the series, but managed to find it in a couple of minutes, TFTH.

During my work and travel year in Australia I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge. Having a moving home zone should make this definitely way easier.

On the World Wide Multi Event - Perth, Western Australia I've seen this power trail and thought, I would give it a try. So today I took the train to Bull Creek and cached my way north to Canning Bridge.
MOST of the caches were found fast and easy, duck 43's mostly took a bit longer

TFTC and greetings from Germany

No luck with this one today. Must be well hidden.

Quick and easy THX

Out for a walk TFTC

TFTC

TFTC! Teamed up with Cravo10 to make some good finds. Thanks

Found it

I had not been on a good Geocaching run for quite some while, but after chatting to my
GeoBud, Spatial RiQ and finding out we both free for the morning, some hastily made plans
were put in place for a wander around the Bridges picking up some caches as we went.

Swift find just off the track

TFTC

Out on a caching run with the Machman. Decided the night before to meet up and start our lap of the bridge at Deep Water Point. Headed South from here then back up along the freeway before returning. Good day for me with 25 finds and only 2 DNF's.

Quick find once at GZ, TFTC.

Nice quick find whilst out for the afternoon. Tftc

Find #398. Out in the local area picking up caches after recently returning to the game.

Another quick find here with fd5791! Cheers once again!

Headed out this morning to grab as many of the caches around the river as we could. Goorjus69 and I parked at the southern end of the Mt Henry bridge and we were joined halfway around by T-Mack2. Very enjoyable morning out on the bikes, I found 18 with 3 DNFs. I was able to avenge a DNF here from last time. TFTC loubla

Caught the train up to Canning Bridge this morning from Kwinana to hit the Periodic Table series. I left home at 6.30am and walked back in the door at 1.05pm after riding all the way home. I stopped briefly at Cockburn Central for some brunch and then hit the trail again shortly after. I stopped at where I thought GZ was, but had no luck searching any of the trees or other objects nearby. I will be back for the Hydrocarbons.

Tftc.

Damm... 100% strike rate for the periodic table I attempted. And I could get the 2 Hydrocarbons that I attempted. I will be back, Loubla

Had to go up to do some shopping in South Perth in the morning and with the promise of some sunshine before the storms in the afternoon, we decided to walk the Canning River bridge to bridge loop. Started at Pt Henry bridge and went across the river and down the eastern side then back across the river at Canning Bridge. Got to Deep Water point before the first down pour, which made the last dash a wet one
16 caches and only 1 DNF and a great range of hides including many duck43 caches - so we were very please with our 3.5 hr stroll . A couple left due to the rain, so will be back another weekend to finished them off.

Another quick find by Mrs K.

Thanks for the cache loubla [^]

Found it while strolling along the path. Had one look, did not locate it. Had another look on my way back. Found it. Thanks for the cache.

Took the family for a ride around the bridges and managed a few caches along the way. TFTC

TFTC. Afternoon Walk Around the Bay

Easy find once I was in the right spot. A tree stump nearby made for a good seat while signing the log.

Found it! It had been left in the open- somewhat more hidden now...

TFTC

Great and all, put a poor mouse had his guts spilled on the side...

Quick find. TFTC

sweeping through the area to pick up some quick caches....TFTC

Found on GZ while dodging deadly treadleys on a lovely afternoon.

Another great loubla cache. Had to avoid some muggles at this one. TFTC.

Easy find once at ground zero, was quite exposed so recovered well to avoid detection.

Log is getting full, good to see so many people finding this cache.

Easy find sitting out in the open

Thanks for the great cache! I loved it.

On an awesome day out bike riding with my family, jasenjanine & MNS13, Justintime13, Kyzabra, Cee-Kay-2003, m4yb, megawat60, Granett, Hiddo, jinta29 & Percival Mastiff we found this cache... Thanks loubla

Had a great day today on a joint bike ride around the bridges, about twenty bikes in total, including the kids. According to my Garmin I did 12 km at an average speed of 9.1km/h over a period of nearly 4 hours, with a well earned ice-cream at the end!

I got introduced to the "duck 43" hide style today and was glad to have the extra eyes about because I think I would have been struggling on my own.

I am able to claim about 23 finds in all with a couple of puzzle caches to solve before logging them officially.

Safety in numbers definitely works while geocaching, on arrival at a GZ the muggles end up being the ones feeling weird as a group of twenty or so people arrive in their area and seem to be on a mission for something. I saw a few fishermen and walkers scratching their heads this afternoon.

kyzabra came up with the goods here fairly quickly.

SLTFTC

Headed out on this glorious day for a ride around the bridges with a select few from the Geocaching WA Group... Thought we were onto some periodic tables for a second there! Oh no, it's Hydrocarbons... Which reminds me that we must finish the PT caches soon

TFTC loubla... A quick find here by Kyzabra & the cache was in good condition

Headed up towards perth today to meet up with a bunch of other cachers to tackle some of the hides up here, between the two bridges

We had a very successful day with 25 finds all up, taking about 4 hours on the geo-cycles.
Thanks for the cache loubla

A nice afternoon planned out riding the river from Canniong Highway, down to Mt Henry bridge.
The crew consisted of Kyzabra, Hiddo, Jasenjanine, MNS13, Jinta29, M4YB, Megawatt60, Granett, Jnr cachers Ceekay2003, Justintime13, Dangermouse09, and a couple of muggle kids as well.

It must have been an ominous look for anyone else on the bike path today. All the people stopping at random locations.

I was a bit excited thinking I was doing my first Periodic table. You can tell I failed at chemistry

TFTH loubla

Found on a very enjoyable run
Breht got the honours on this one
Thanks for cache loubla

We met up with several other cachers to grab a few smileys around this area. There was a great variety of caches and hiding spots and we ended up having no DNF's and about 25 found . We were all on cycles and the loop took just under four hours

A nice easy find here. TFTC loubla

A great day and a great group of peoples for a ride around the bridges picking up a few duck 43's and a few others.

Another by others and a nice easy find from Kyzabra for this one. Thanks loubla.

Nice easy find. TFTC loubla

Found during our group bike ride on both sides of the Canning River, and what a great day this was: perfect weather, and a great group of enthusiastic geocachers of all ages.
The hydrocarbons are a great add-on to the other periodic table caches, that we are still working on. Good find here by Kyzabra, TFTC loubla!

Took longer than expected but got there in the end. TFTC

# 5797

Another quick find for us on our walk around the bridges.

Corjam11 and I decided to catch the train from Rockingham to Canning Bridge where we got off with our bikes and rode all the way back to Kwinana train station picking up a lot of caches on the way. We allowed no more than a minute for each find so their were a few DNF's but mostly they were all easy finds. All caches were in good shape though a few logs were a bit mouldy, but still loggable. To save time and space in the logs we logged as FC short for our geocaching names flasharry and corjam11. This would have been a great power trail to do on a cooler day but as I was on vacation for two weeks I had no choice. I think we lost about 3kg each. Thanks a lot Loubla for the huge effort, i know because I have a couple of trails myself. Greetings from Sweden.

[:(!] Went for a later afternoon caching run after church and the long table lunch and this was one of them, parked the geoGrand Vitara as close as possible to GC4N60E (Manning Mob 002 - Near the Freeway) and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.
