###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 no reply from the CO when asked to check.
I couldn't find this one either. Stuck my hand into all the nooks and crannies to no avail. Maybe it's been pushed in too far or maybe I'm not looking in the right place!
Did not find. Noticed that this series has not been found for nearly a year and decided to return when we can complete and record all codes for final.
Lovely area...I have been kayaking down here last summer ..lucky there wernt any muggles around...gps had location in middle of road so had a look around and quickly found cache...container was upside down and hiding in plain view..I hid it as well as I could. TFTC
After my gps locating my GZ in the middle of the road I decided to go for a logical spot. 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.

I arrived at GZ to find a boat towing muggle near GZ, but he was reversing the car toward the ramp and was not at all interested in what I was doing... So, after ruling out one spot at GZ, I figured there was only one real hiding place left and moved in for extraction of the cache... Nice...
I added my name to the log, assembled the cache and dropped it back in place.
Cheers 'lil Jack Russells.

A muggle was parked beside it. We were about to leave when he did. Isquba found it quickly.

Out with MNS13 to find a few caches today.
When we arrived here there was a tractor mowing the grass around GZ so we waited for him to leave then made the nice quick find.

Parked the car at the Spud Shed and went walking around Furnissdale for some exercise and the opportunity to find a few caches. Found easily, lovely spot along the river.
Originally logged under family name of clan-wallace now slowly transitioning to new name
All clues safely gathered in. Now to sit down & work out coordinates for the final. TFTC
3rd find for the morning on a lovley walk through Furnisdale. This one took me longer than it should have - I blame lack of having a morning coffee before my walk. 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.

Ahha yep a much easier find this attempt on a totally different log then thd gps directed is last time tftc! Just waiting for the other cache to be back in place so we can get the final challenge cache
The cache is still there, safe and sound. If the coords were out, you should have been looking in and around a large log for a small, 200mL Sistema. Hope this helps, as well as the updated coords.

Third time searching for this one, but the first time in this new spot. Too well hidden for me too.
We will go and check that this cache is still here. It was about a week ago
Had just arrived to have a search for the cache when the neighbour came out asking if we were his new neighbours. Thought I should give the search a miss for now as he stayed out watering the garden!
Could not find due to high mugged traffic tried several times each time very busy
Coordinates changed from:
S 32° 33.917 E 115° 45.884
Coordinates changed to:
S 32° 33.931 E 115° 45.910
Distance from original: 158.4 feet or 48.3 meters.
This cache had definitely gone missing, not surprising though due to the exposed location, but oh well.
We have increased the size to a small and shifted it to a hopefully more secret location, although still be aware of muggles from all angles.
Good Luck

Returned again today with the heads up on where it was hidden, rechecked thoroughly but nothing there.
Sadly this one eluded me in the failing light. Been a while since its been found, so would be nice to know if it's still there.
Loved this series... had a lovely stroll along the river with geokids and visiting UK parents, saw a dolphin too.

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.
Had to travel to this end of the series, as muggles where camped at the previous location. A nice hide, in plain sight.
Thanks for the cache [^]

This is my find number 2825

Was another quick find at this cache.

Another quick find here, and another day marked off my calendar - I still have another hundred or so to go. Thanks 'lil Jack Russells
Another quick find in a muggle free area as everyone was out on the water today celebrating Australia Day. 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.

Awoke this morning to see some nice cloud & cool weather so a quick decision was made to head out caching Thankfully this area was deserted this morning and another quick find was made by MNS13 this time... TFTC 'lil Jack Russells All of the clues have no been gathered & it's off to the final!
We bought the kids bikes along thinking there would be a path along the foreshore, for the most part the kids managed, but when we got to the car park they were elated to finally have a nice surface to ride on. Another quick find was made here.
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.
Thanks for the caches, 'lil Jack Russells.

7th find for father/son road trip.
Had to make out we were reading as there were heaps of boating muggles.
Cache in good condition.

First time we visited there were a band of bogan muggles parked right beside the cache so gave it away, Today we were alone with the trailers and retrieved it un troubled.
Headed up to Mandurah with dimor to grab a few caches as well as a couple of puzzles we had solved individually. Only a couple of muggles fishing but looking the other way. We made a discreet retrieval of the container although it is somewhat obvious.
Out with richlink find many caches in the Maurah and surrounds area.
Some muggles at this one and what better way to look normal than for richlink to take 'the fraulein' for a walk and grab the cache at the same time
So good seeing parents out with their kids doing cheap activities like fishing and crabbing. The simple things are always the best
TFTC and now off to the final

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 first find in the series and I was pleased that it set the standard of quick finds. Plenty of boat trailers in the carpark despite it being a Monday. Thanks for the hide.
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 [^] - Had a bit of company in the car park with this one with a few muggles and a 2m plus roo which they were watching. We managed to grab and sign the cache while they were watching the roo. We hope the shire empty the bins soon as the rotting fish are a little on the nose
