I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Hiddo, requesting additional time.
An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.
Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

###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, Hiddo.
The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 30 days 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

Walked over on my lunch break and spent about 15minutes going up and down looking for it without any luck. Looked at the "spot" the coordinates took me to and checked about 5metres each way around it too
Looks like it might have been taken

Found this not long ago but forgot to log, cool choice of container, the force is strong with this cache. Cheers.
Edit: found the log separately in the ground. Replaced it, but it’s full and wet anyway.
Well hidden, but found it!
Log is full, needs replacement. Unfortunately didn’t have anything on us.
TFTC !

We found it but had no pen (didn’t expect to go looking for caches on this walk). Photographic evidence provided.
Hopefully you don’t delete our log because we are unlikely to return. If you do delete it, we understand.

Hi there Hiddo.
We found your cache **"Baby Apatosaurus"** today. (This makes our find count 22884).
We cached around Lake Gwelup Reserve today i& found your cache **"Baby Apatosaurus"**.
(This brings our total find count to 22884). We had an interesting trek around the area & found 5 caches today & DNF'd 0.
We thoroughly enjoyed the walk and the scenery. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wander around Australia.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny

The good thing about an early start means muggle free usually. So I decided to grab one on the way in this morning.
Thanks heaps to Hiddo for placing Baby Apatosaurus . I found it this morning and added my name to the log. Put it back where I found it and continued on my way.

Dinosaur seems to have been replaced with a Star Wars spaceship. My daughter loved it!
Found and signed both containers that we found.
TFTC Hiddo this is find # 5982 for us.

Out enjoying the weather on this beautiful day and to collect a few smilies, happy to say we came up trumps here
Don’t know what is going on here. Maybe there are two containers in play as the photo by the previous finder looks nothing like the one we found & their name was not on the log book we signed. TFTC Hiddo
In Perth for a few days. Headed out to target a few Caches between appointments.

Best collection of trinkets we’ve seen. Search under fallen branches and bring your own pencil
This one seemed to be laying out in the open so I moved it under the fallen branch. Tftc.
Found a small grey spacecraft with tiny log inside. Left our pencil in the car. No dinosaur?
Thank you! Made a stop here on a hot afternoon. Went in circles for a bit, but soon found the sneaky cache. I'll blame the heat.
Lucky quick find for us. Log is a bit soggy, sorry didn't have a baggy to keep it dry. TFTC Hiddo
Could not find. Found a small plastic dino, green, in leaf litter near tree, we left it. No log book?
This one was out in the open with the log on the ground beside it. Hope we have put it back in the right place.
