###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.
I am going to Disable it, 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 when action will be taken
If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then regrettably the cache 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

Have looked for these caches several times and not getting a reply from the CO when asked to check.
We went out along here and found 2/3 of these f. forest caches
I am visiting Perth to visit an school friend of 55 years ago and one who I have not seen for over 40 years. The little children that I once held and photographed over 50 years ago and now grown men. How time flies!.
I have been lucky enough to be able to visit quite a few places around Perth, and around the swan Valley and locate a few caches there and then also Visit Fremantle and then have an event at Mandurah which had rain and even a police enquire as to why we were “loitering’ on the over head bridge. After which I was able to locate quite a few more caches around Mandurah thanks to Mistraluna -the wind and the moon - a fisherman’s stay. We also visited the city by night and went on the light trail which was on a balmy evening after very hot day but that also finished in a heavy down pour preceded by sudden strong winds.
The weather has been quite varied from 40 degrees one day and down to 25 degrees another day, along with thunder, hailstones and Rain. I found Perth fairly dry looking city after being in New Zealand’s green lush countryside but I loved the historical buildings in the city and especially those in fremantle .
I will add photos of individual caches and other pertinent remarks as this is a fairly generic log so far.
Thank you to all the many cache owners of the caches I have found or not found as has been the case with quite a few, and the up keep of your caches.

We headed out to Mandurah for the day. Some geocaching, PoGo-ing, some lunch and a bit of a walk were the plans. Hopefully the weather is kind.
Puzzled for a few minutes here. Was distracted for a bit, but expanded the search and found the cache.
'lil Jack Russells. SVKR_WA found your cache on 3 October 2016. This find brings our finds count to 1613.
We have signed the log and replaced the hide as found.
Thanks for bringing us to this place.

Came back to have another go at this one....walked right past what I though was the obvious spot ...spent a fair bit of time getting it out and sadly there was no log....mmmm turned around and took a couple of steps to another place that I had looked at and there it was camo hiding in plain view..duh! liked the container very sneaky ..

Just a quick look around...phone gps had me in the middle of nithing but grass....hmm i shall be back.
Having a walk on the foreshore - great place to live. Found a cache - good camo - walked passed it the first time. Tftc
Out in the area for the WA goes big event over the WA Day long weekend.
Managed to find several different cache types, designs and difficulty.
Made for a great few days out and about meeting plenty of new, experience and interstate geocaches.
Seeing the flags on all the cars as we were driving around made for a very interesting time, what a great idea.

TFTC! Had a great weekend attending the third instalment of wa goes big! What a blast!
Was meant to be two and a bit days of caching and catching up with some old faces I haven't seen for a while but after a family tragedy on Friday the weekend was shortened to just Saturday afternoon and most of Sunday.
Rocked up on Saturday and collected my welcome pack! Needed a semi trailer to bring it all home!! Best part was the car flags!! (If they have some leftovers I'd love a couple more!!). After going through the loot bag I chatted to a couple of people and somehow managed to miss seeing jacbsCrew who was waiting for me (sorry mate) and headed out to grab a couple of caches.
Just a couple? Was well worth more than just a couple!! That ValoForce hide?? Saved by the bell will have to go down as one of my favourite geocaches ever! I've been to most places in wa and that is certainly right up there with the best. Worth every hour of the 50(? I think) spent on it.
Ended up pulling Cravo10 up for the Saturday night dinner and getting Numbers Man out of geocaching exile to attend even though I warned him to wear a helmet to help deal with all the people who can't deal with metallophobia!! Luckily no one really noticed who he was as I intoduced him to most as simply a muggle!!
Fast forward to Saturday morning and I wake up to find my car window had been smashed overnight and my car ransacked! What better than heading to Pinjarra with Cravo to cure the blues, grabbed a bunch of caches around the WWFM event in the heart of Pinjarra, and a nice warm coffee from the bakery, poor guys didn't plan on a bunch of hungry geocachers strolling in at 8am!! Had the group shot and we shot through to grab a bunch of MS puzzle caches and some caches near ravens wood and on the way to Mandurah.
We managed to complete the weekends goal of 8 types in a day which was something good to finally knock off! Before we headed off to the CITO event which we had been planning for for quite some time.
After that we headed back down the highway home to remember what a great weekend of geocaching we had just encountered and that we certainly hope to be back next year!!
Thanks to all of the people who helped make the events a success, who volunteered their time to assist with the WAGB event and all the local cachers who put together a great bunch of new caches!
Thanks guys, see you again next year!

I completed this series of caches along the Furnissdale Foreshore after dusk.
What a lovey area. TFTC.
There was a frog next to the cache.

Picking up the two missed caches when out doing the Furnissdale area last time. Only the multi to do another day when I remember to bring the printed copy with me.
Originally logged under family name of clan-wallace now slowly transitioning to new name
A lovely afternoon for a stroll along the river, some huge Pelicans swimming just a couple of metres away. Luckily the dogs did not notice.TFTC
This camo is missing a piece but it is still water tight. Quick find, got code & off to the next one. TFTC.
It was a beautiful the walk along the foreshore with Gypsy Roaming today getting some much needed exercise and enjoying the variety of boats on the water.

We made a late start on the series doing the last two under torchlight.
Thankfully number 1 to 6 were tracked down reasonably quickly, but, we soon realised that we had made a mistake when collecting the information required to calculate the final coords. A bit of logic and cache sense enabled us to work around our error and we soon had the final cache in hand.
Thanks 'lil Jack Russells we really enjoyed the series in an amazingly beautiful location. A favorites point from us.

This little one was nicely guarded by ants, but a bit of a shake had them running for cover. Extracted info this time and continued on to the next one. Luckily still no muggles about, despite it being midday Saturday.
Thanks for the Furnisdale foreshore tour, 'lil Jack Russells.

I decided to utilise this series to fill in some " Calender Days " after work. So all good - cache found, SL, a beautiful location Then when I read the cache page when I arrived home I realised that I needed to collect clues Back I go I suppose - TFTC 'lil Jack Russells

Well, after a while where life got in the way of caching, this morning the beautiful bride, said, Go Caching, you need a break. Who Am I to argue with such brilliant logic. So into the car with a loaded GPSr and off to find some elusive hidden prizes around the areas.
Muggles driving by, I had to wait a shot time, but the cache was quickly located, log signed and returned
Thanks for the cache [^]

This is my find number 2824

Made the short trek out here to claim another smiley. Another day down. Thanks 'lil Jack Russells
Down this way again checking out a cache and doing some more of my unfound caches in the area.
Was a quick find at this cache also and code was noted.
Thanks 'lil Jack Russells for the cache.

Another relatively quick find. Surprisingly the area was muggle free considering it was Australia Day - everyone must be out on the river! SL TFTC
I found this one with Mum (1/2 of jasenjanine), while Dad was away at work ... TFTC 'lil Jack Russells
Nice cool day today and Janine invited us caching. We had fun running up the river and finding caches. We had our bikes too.
Thanks for the cache lil jack russells.
Thanks for the cache lil jack russells.
Awoke this morning to see some nice cloud & cool weather so a quick decision was made to head out caching After finding the first in the series, we chose to walk/bike ride along the foreshore to burn off some of our kids endless energy... This cache took way longer than it should have, but we will blame old mate's presence over the road for not spotting it straight away TFTC 'lil Jack Russells!
We had to spend a little longer at this one than the last. Old mate over the road was having morning tea out the front.
We realised at this stage that we hadn't got the code from cache #1. So Janine doubled back while I stayed to search. Unsuccessfully I might add. It took Janine about 5 seconds to spot it though haha
Thanks for the cache lil jack Russell's.

A great day of caching, in Furnissdale and surrounding areas, which we highly recommend.
This was a cleverly placed series, along the river fore shore.
Not too hard, just enough to keep us thinking.

Headed up to Mandurah with dimor to grab a few caches as well as a couple of puzzles we had solved individually. Nice placement of cache.
up Mandurah way with richlink grabbing a few caches and puzzle ones that we each had solved
Couldn't see this one at first but once richlink moved there it was. A good laugh

Was down this way with Kristybelle to do this series on a very hot day. I found it a very enjoyable series to do and it would be great for kids as they are all easy finds with spot on Co-ordinates..
We had no trouble finding any of the caches TFTC lil jack Russells

My fourth find in the series. The weather is heating up but it remains reasonably pleasant down here by the water. Thanks for the cache.
my mum oohyeh picked me and my son up for a day of caching down this way... it was quite a warm day and this series was nice and easy to do with all finds being found quickly TFTC
Series FTF
We were about to set out to find a cache to feed our daily need when we noticed this new series had been published earlier in the afternoon so set off to grab one of this new series. We were somewhat surprised and happy when we found a blank log at the first cache so signed the FTF spot on the log.
We then had a dilemma - do the series and get FTF at all the caches, or come back and do one a day to build our daily caching streak [?] [?]. In the end the lure of FTF won out as we haven't had one in a while and the possibility of 7 was too hard to resist.
We set off on the nice stroll along the riverside with just enough breeze to keep the mozzies away and completed the series of nicely hidden caches.
Thanks for the cache and the series 'lil Jack Russells [^] - Muggles in the house opposite were showing a bit of interest in what we were doing, but we waited them out and got the log signed eventually.
