This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
Had a thorough look. In view of mounting dnf. Could the co check it’s still there please
Add our name to the lust of dnfs. It would be good if the CO could check on this series
Did not find the cache today but did find the logbook from it sitting on the ground. Needs attention.
GPS had me a few metres away looking in another spot, but the photo log got me back on track and found quickly. Thanks!
tftc radar wolf found this a while back and forgot to lo it. Was in the area and remembered i had found it.
Headed to Ellenbrook for a bit of caching, this was one of the caches we found in the area... Although the GPSr suggested 5m away, Jase found this one in the first spot he looked [^]

Headed out for a day of caching with Skippy 46. We only had one DNF for the day and the rest were found quite quickly with a few that took a bit of searching, The co-ords were about 7 metres out but the cache was quickly found in the obvious spot TFTC RadarWolf

Teamed up with Everlasting and sevabo today to cache the Whiteman Park and Ellen Brook areas and grabbed this one on the way We signed the logs using our team name for the day I.S.E. but I think that we may have messed up the order in some logs. Thanks RadarWolf we had a great day.
Thanks RadarWolf we had a great day.Had a dnf at our previous visit but found aftr a bit of a poke around today. Thanks RadarWolf
Nice find! Had 2 DNF's before that so happy I got something today and it wasn't too hard 
Had a look for a good 15 minutes, takes off trail too far, kids got bored haha might try again another day
Looking for it right now, no idea where it is, Any clues or hints you could give?
Doing some work at the house across the street, so popped over for a quick find. TFTC RadarWolf.
TFTC! Out for a day of caching with Cravo10 in Ellenbrook and surrounds. Thanks for the hide.
Needs co-ordinate update to minimize damage to the bush, currently they take you too far off the trail.
Out caching this morning in Vines area this is one i found, Happy new year RadarWolf. The cache is in good condition but the coordinates are out and take you into the bush. I would update them soon to avoid too much geo-damage to the bush
Another lovely park. Orrsome Family made the find in a place I'd already checked. TFTC
A very late log, found with parkacruz and piknik15 but we never logged online which we are now rectifying TFTC
Logged under Mummy & Daddy's name smileyjims but I have my own name now, I found this cache with them and wrote in the log book with them TFTC
Was a reletively quick find at the obvious spot as the GPS told me I still had 7m to go and didn't change whilst I was there so the coordinates might need to be altered a bit.
Thanks RadarWolf for the cache.
Thanks RadarWolf for the cache.
Akela has been replaced. Please remember to place back as you found it thankyou.
Too wet and cold to look for long but thought we gave the area a good going over to no avail.
Defeated by this one. Didn't like to grovel through the gardens anymore than we had with 3 kids. Gave up when we disturbed a bobtail.
Coordinates changed from:

Coordinates changed to:
S 31° 45.173 E 115° 59.483
Distance from original: 15.8 feet or 4.8 meters.
Akela cache was damaged due to fire and it is now been replaced. You will need to bring a pen now as its container has now changed to an camo eclipse mint tin.
While the cache is back close to original location coordinates may've changed slightly.
But it is back in play now after maintenance and ready to go. Good Luck.

Due to fire damage in the location of cache. I'll need to replace damaged cache and possibly relocate due to fire / police tape around the location. This cache will be worked on in the next 2 weeks and re-established.
Sorry about the delay. Back soon.
Cheers RadarWolf
Sorry about the delay. Back soon.

This is the second time we visited, and still DNF... Can't help to think that it's gone; there has been a lot of work done in the area 
A relatively quick and easy find here. I inspected the obvious object from a few angles, but then spotted the cache slightly further afield. A nice park in an area that doesn't exist in my maps.
Thanks for the hide RadarWolf!
