Paperbark Ponder Carine, Western Australia, Australia

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Today I targeted several caches to fill in blank spots on my profile, this was one of them.

I found the cache quite easily but it appears to have been vandalized by muggles making the log beyond usable. If the cache is to continue it will need replacing.

This is one of three caches I found today that has been temporarily disabled which I've discovered whilst logging, I found it using data on my GPSr that is clearly outdated, but find it I did so I am still claiming the find.

The Stirling City Council have made new rules for their Bushland, Coastal Dunes, Wetlands areas and includes any other area affected by dieback within the boundaries of the council local government area. These new rules can be found at [url=https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Western+Australia]https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Western+Australia[/url] and will affect already published caches within the council area.

This cache listing has been identified as being one of the approximately 85 existing caches that are located in one of the areas identified by the new rules and must be checked so is being temporarily disabled until the status of the cache is determined as complying or non complying with these new rules.

If this listing complies with the new rules then it can be enabled again but a note must be placed on the cache stating that the cache complies with the rules.

If it is determined that this cache does not comply then the owner is requested to remove the cache for the existing location and archive the listing.

If you wish to replace the cache at some other location within the Stirling City Council Local Government area that does comply with the new rules please submit a new cache listing for the new location.

Quite hard

Had a bit of trouble with this one but a look from a different angle provided a better result. TFTC

Quick find for Geoboy 7. TFTC

Hi,

Really nice to bike around and search for caches in Perth. This was a very special find which I never seen before. I worked in paperindustry for 10 years but never heard about paperbark trees. Thnkas for showing me these.

Found it on the ground at the base of the tree, so replaced it where I thought it was meant to be according to the description. Beautiful little park, thank you for the cache rockthree.

Found it

Easy find with the kids on a nice day out after school.

Cool

Took a little while, but great!

Well hidden with natural camo. Thanks rockthree

Spotted whilst out on a jog and returned later with better half, and a pen to log the find. TFTC

Tricky find and when we did ants we're everywhere not fun at all tftc found with Steve

After checking every tree quickly about 3 times, the cache finally presented itself to us. Be careful of ants though because there is a plentiful supply of them around. TFTC

Found a few weeks back with my dad (spatialriq). Easy find as it was on the ground. Returned it to the place dad found it some time ago. TFTC.

Lily found it after an extensive search

Extremely easy find here , as the cache was lying on the ground completely exposed. After signing the log I placed in a hide that I thought most likely.TFTC.

Jake found it. Lots of ants and slaters.

Good place to hide it.

Nice work rock3 - love your hiding work!

Nice quick find great spot. Tftc

Nice quick find

Tftc

We looked, we logged, we left!
Thanks for your cache rockthree.

Out with the Better Half and Mistraluna caching before the event.

Quick find here.

Thanks rockthree for the cache.

Up this way today with Chwiliwr and The Better Half. Quick and easy. Thanks rockthree

Short caching run on this showery Sunday.
I have been to this park before to find the cache nearby, and was happy to come back again. TFTH.

Grabbed a gap between the rain showers to go a find a couple this afternoon. SL TFTC

Such a shame to see signs about dieback here at this park. TFTC

Clever hide
Took me a while to locate (there were alot of ants)
It would blend in even better with a coat of black spray paint
TFTC!

On our way back from blood donation and we had a few in the area to clean up, nice easy find by moi with the hint. Thanks rockthree.

Nice to have another smiley in this park. TFTC rockthree!

Nice area for another cache and a quick find here with the hint.

Thanks rockthree

I don't like paperbark hides but fortunately I didnt have to "ponder" too much here. A quick find once I had identified the correct tree. Watch out for ants! TFTC

Quick find once at GZ .. after I disturbed a few ants in the wrong tree. TFTC.

There was an obvious piece of bark covering the cache so I was able to wheel my bike directly to the correct spot. Thanks for the cache rockthree.

3TF here @940. Have brought some ants home with me as a souvenir of my rummage in the paperbark! TFTC.

Thank you for the cache. FTF 9:50. Sorry, time should be 8:50.

Found just after Gorejus was there.....First time in the area so I had a blank canvas to work with when it came to grabbing a few smileys.
Thanks.

Quick find once the GPSr settled
TFTC

It took awhile to find this one but I managed to find it without too much touching of the tree
