Hi, my name is SWITCH Vittoria, Western Australia, Australia
By Jez&LibScarlett on 18-May-14. Waypoint GC5543G

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

This sounded interesting but on getting to GZ and finding the outer camo we realised it was broken which on then reading older logs confirmed. Would have been fun if fully working. TFTC.

The switch is broken so needs some maintenance - nice spot though

Found broken cache but can't log as broken

Great idea, found but couldn’t write in log
Shame it’s not switching
Thank you none the less

Found what remains of the cache. Would have loved to have found the cache when the mechanism was working. Thanks for bringing us to an area we haven’t been before

Quick find but the mechanism is still gone.

Found the cache but couldn’t log it as the mechanism is broken. Will love to try again when it is up and running. Hope this is ok I don’t mind returning to this clever cache.

Love the cage, love the area. Thanks for putting switch year.

I can tell that this was a very clever hide in its original form. Still appreciated it though thanks a lot Jez&LibScarlett. TFTC # 11,313

Found it and definitely needs maintenance....

found it, needs some tlc

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Found the switch but couldn't switch it on to log it as with previous logs, it would be great to see this one back in full action. TFTC

Another trip down to Bunbury (Well almost Bunbury) In the good company of PP2 our main goal was the CITO grabbing a few on the way down and a few more on the way home. Tried various 'tools' to extract the log to no avail, sad really I bet it would of been great had it worked. Have evidence of finding but didn't want to destroy it just to add our names on it. TFTC Jez&LibScarlett hopefully it will be back up and running again soon love to give it another visit when it is.

I could just put ditto on the previous log. We found it, it's broken, we have a photo, wish the CO would replace what was obviously a good cache.impossible to sign the log without breaking it further.

I've had this one in the gps for a while so didn't know about it being broken. There is no switch anymore and I did try getting the log (I think it was that, it was paper anyway) out but didn't manage.
Shame as it looks like it was a great cache
I have photos of the cache if the CO would like proof I was there

Thanks

Desperately needs CO intervention

Down in Bunbury for the speedway, Caught up with my Brother. Went out and did a couple of caches, before it started.

Hi Switch. we found you, but you seem to be missing some part of your self. Looks like some maintenance is needed to put you back to being a working Switch instead of a holidaying Switch, even if you are in a good place for a holiday.

Set out today to explore the territory with Johnny Onefeather.

Found the spot and what fits the description you provided. The photo provided gives a very clear image. After several minutes digging around, we decided the cache has been compromised, as many others suggest. So, it is now a case of saying we made the find, could not complete the log and decided to claim the find anyway.

The cache is clever. The spot is great. You can talk to dolphins nearby and watch anglers soaking up the very peaceful atmosphere. The only thing deterring a picnic is the abundant flies.

Found but unable to turn on or obtain log. Hab clan from england.

TFTC! Day one of a huge caching trip with Cravo10 to Bunbury for the weekend, an area we haven't ventured to for far too long with so many green dots on the map just waiting to be found.

We started off by grabbing all of the newly published ooh yeh heading south caches which hopefully one day can make their way all the way to Bunbury, and luckily they were positioned where they were with the newly installed fixed point to point camera nearby which may have nabbed us otherwise.

We got to Bunbury after grabbing a nearby archived team red roo cache and went to complete the skippy in the bush series which was a lovely walk around some suburban bushland with a great variety of plants and vegetation for us to see. All containers bar the disabled one found without issue. I might have to ask you where you get your magnets for the mint tins as they are highly effective baffle!!

We then grabbed a bunch of park and grabs around town which were pretty stock standard.

We then drove down to the Ludlow Forrest to complete the Bigfoot series of caches and some others in the bush. It was a lovely drive around on the 4x4, which handled the bush nicely even with a few obstacles. The highlight of the day was some ripper money box hides including big foots ATM, which lived up to the normal team money box standard

We closed out the first day with some park and grabs around town at dusk and into the evening. Thanks to the local COs for their caches so far.

Found cache but the switch is missing and needs CO attention

Found cache, but like others unable to sign missing log.
Cache requires attention.
TFTH

Will have to come back when it fixed

Love the hide but unable to sign log book as it is missing parts and i think it needs maintenance wount be back as we are from Victoria

Found it but couldn't need to open it

Found with Emalgee but unable to open ??

Came out because of its name but like so many comments before. the cache seems to be missing parts. Will keep this on my watch list to come back to sign when repaired

With boss 2006

Found it, Shame we could not turn it on, but will return and do it when fixed. TFTC.

Found it (looks exactly the same as the last pic) but there is no log.

Found it!

Found it but unable to log? Is there a piece missing?

Can someone confirm this hasn't been partially muggled?

We are aware the cache is not in perfect condition at this time, we are trying to locate another suitable container similar to current one to replace it. Thanks for your patience

Found it but could log. TfTC

Found but unable to log as reported by previous cachers. Interesting area.

DNL well I'm sure i found it again. Went for a run because it sounded intersting just beleive it maybe broken or a part mugged

Think may have part missing?

Found cache but no log book

Unable to log. Very creative cache

Found what is left of cache. Just the body. Tftc

Nice find thanks

With eransate, very nice cache, thanks

Cheers for the smile!! Great Cache!!

We wandered around for a minute well thought out

Safest cache

Well thought cache

a clever hide in a beautiful spot TFTC

Clever idea. Keep them coming. TFTC

TFTC

Came up to Bunners today to do a CITO event
Afterwards I came to this area to find the letterbox cache to drop off a GC which wanted to visit letterbox caches
I have not been to this part of the city before and did not realize that it was actually accessible
I was quite pleasantly surprised to discover this hidden area behind the harbour with the beautiful beaches the inlet to the estuary and of course the beautiful waters of the estuary itself
Thanks for bringing us to this place, I probably would not have come here if not for the cache

The cache area was badly littered and seeing as it is CITO weekend I collected all the litter in the area and dropped it in a bin provided.........about 10m away, sigh, some people are just so lazy.

Cache is now back in action thanks for your patience

cache has been fixed and on our way to put it back up

will be replacing in the next couple days sorry for the delay

Have taken switch home to be repaired, will have home back up soon

Woohoo !!! Found it !!! Great idea although it appears that it's been broken or forced into

Cache appears to have been forced into and broken from it attachment, needs fixing

Great cache

Tftc

Flick the switch great

Very clever hide

quick find, like the idea

TFTC out with friends visiting old haunts

Decided to head down to busselton with the geohubby for a few days of caching. we picked up a few caches in bunbury then we headed to capel to pick up all the caches we missed the last time we were there. Picked up a few caches in busselton but we will have to get the rest tomorrow as we ran out of day light. Not a bad day we had 43 finds and no DNFS. A quick find here, clever camo TFTC

Very neat ☺Thanks for the cache.

First one for the day. TFTH

Note to CO.

Your mail address recorded at geocaching.com seems to be bouncing mail and will need to be checked as I cannot reply to your email sent to me.

A quick drop by on the way to Leinster to go prospecting. Another souvenir for August taken care of. Thanx for a nice cache.

Thanks for showing us a part of Bunbury that we have not been to before.

Easy find on a sunny winters day. Don't forget you caching kit.

like hay street out here on sat arvo unusual camo great hide tftc

What a different a day makes. Well it was beautiful yesterday but today we were dodging the showers.
By good luck it had stopped raining when we reached gz so had the place to ourselves. Geo-hubby had jumped out of the car and had the cache in hand before I joined him. Not sure why this cache would be considered to not follow the guidelines unless it is because its behind a fence, which incidentally has mostly fallen down so is not serving any purpose at all. However I think the difficulty rating might be a bit high as it was easy to locate the container and extract the log sheet - perhaps the container is not working as the CO intended. Thanks Jez&LibScarlett

Tftc

With both of us needing a cache for today I grabbed Rach2 and we headed over to this one.

Thinking two heads are better than one and we allowed ourselves heaps of time after reading some of the previous logs we thought we needed to, we pulled up to within metres of GZ.

Got out of the car and Rach had it found and opened within seconds. Grab something from the car to get the log out as forgot to take tweezers

All in all probably a 1 minute job (if that) of find and signed. Too easy

TFTC

dimor parked within 4 mts from cache and co-ords were spot on and took me straight there. A nice easy find, took longer to get the log out TFTC

Came out to investigate what this cache was all about. Found it no problems, but took a little bit of lateral thinking for the penny to drop as to how to access the log. Got my smiley eventually. Not sure that the cache meets the new hiding guidelines though. Thanks for the smiley Jez&LibScarlett

Found it after about 20 min of looking while the partner had a quick fish finally he assisted me with the hunt TFTC!

Very clever, it's now one of my favourites, thank you for the cache and lovely afternoon out

Thx Jez&LibScarlett. A novel idea, very different. Cool.

Published

couldnt resist this one being so close to home. we have been to this spot quite a few times before in much better weather conditions. thought we might of had a first to find but when we checked the log we had to settle for third. nice camo tftc

***2TF***
I used to live not far at all from this place so i know this area very well.Had caught many fish and crab
At this spot .Bings bak a lotta memories.
I had walked straight pass this at least twice then me phone rang and while I was talking I just so happen
To spot it.
I just didn't expect that to be there.
But nice camo and TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Snagged FTF! Took a few minutes to spot the cache but wasn't too complicated in the end.

Cheers guys, keep up the creativity.
