rock 'n' around Northam, Western Australia, Australia
By thabazleys on 31-May-14. Waypoint GC560CQ

I am archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action or communication by the cache owner minie hunter within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note, and it appears that the cache has been abandoned.

###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

Didn't find

Had a good search with my mate but looks like the previous searchers to report it missing may be correct

Had a good look

We searched for this cache for some time and came up empty - leaving me to think it may have been removed when local work took place. At any rate - it needs to be checked please.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

We visited this one on our final day camping and caching around the York/Northam area. Sadly, all good things must come to an end though and today we were homeward bound, but of course we had to stop and find a few caches along the way. This one was searched for we reletively early in the day, but it seems I am destined to always have at least one DNF in Northam!! Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to come and attempt to find thabazleys, maybe I will find it another time...

Hi there minie hunter. I was out with Mistraluna for a couple of planned days of Geocaching around the FOTT Go Bush traill and surrounds. We searched for this cache today, but after a time we came up empty handed. Thanks to minie hunter for this cache.

Thanks for the cache got my train parked had a quick walk down great little cache

Thank you! Headed to Northam with dad for a road trip, geocaching and a Sunday pub lunch. Dad was going to help get the caches I didn't get to on the WAGB weekend.
Happy to make the find here, and wander around by the river.

Enjoying the public holiday with a van full of kids and making our way to Northam for WAgoesbig2019. As we have the semi geo mostly muggle wife with us it's a mixture of caching and parks, churches and coffee stops. Perfect weather and day. Tftc

Tftc found whilst at WA goes big 2019

So out on another Geocaching weekender with Spatial Riq, this time off to the Northam for the 2019 WAGB. Great weekend picking up nearly 70 Caches over the two days. A great variety in the area....

No probs here

TFTC.

Gotcha! Found during the night - forgot my torch but managed to find it. It only added to the fun of finding it. TFTC

Was out caching on my own sunday morning of the event and stopped by here to grab this cache which was a very quick find. Thanks for the cache thabazleys

Outnabout with Team Bastholm and JAM1511 in Northam for WAGB19. Glad for the clue.

Many years back I went to a place in Arkansas USA that was named after this cache. Very cheeky. TFTC.

Hi there minie hunter.

We found your cache **"rock 'n' around"** at 10:43:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 22570).

We are staying in York and attending the WAGB Event in Northam. Today we started off by nominating a cache close by and then took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

We found 9 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic travels around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m 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.

Another quick find.

Quick park and grab on the WAGB weekend TFTC ??

Clever cache hide, a nice and easy find for a geocacher, perfectly hidden from muggles! Thanks for the hide!

Yes thank you

Thanks

Nice find with some others from the event.

Well we rocked up for this one but muggles delayed our signing of the log so a sneaky return of the cache. TFTC

Night time caching on our first night of WAGB19 after a very long stressful day of packing the car, unpacking everything and messing around with multi's ???? - tftc and ??

Found with Scjaz and geokids on the WAGB2019 long weekend. Tftc

A night find on WAGB 2019 weekend tftc

On a road trip with the Machman on our way to WAGB 2019 in Northam.

Quick find here. TFTC

After finishing shopping started heading back out to the caravan park and swung past here for a quick find.

As we were just about to put everything away another car rolled up and we were pleased to meet the CO on a maintenance run.

Thanks thabazleys for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1554 for me.

Nice easy find TFTC

GPS spot on. Nice quick find. TFTC

Walked straight to it and was the first one we turned over. Tftc!

30min without cache.. so sad to see the previous “quickly found” !

Found it. TFTC Theblazleys. Quick find here today

Having been staying in Perth for some time, it was decided to move a little further on and we headed out along the Great Eastern Highway with ilook4geo. The caching list had some caches to be found along the route as far as Northam.
This was a nice quick and easy find and two signatures were soon on the log. Thank you thabazleys for this cache placement.

We were on the move again, caching with goingplaces2 as we head slowly east. Found some caches along the way and were happy with the smileys gained. Nice find here. TFTC.

TFTC. Out with Resib3 in the Winnebago

Quick find

TFTC a quick find on a hot day

Awesome cache!

Found it after reading a previous log tftc

A day out around Northam to claim some more smilies, happy to say we came up trumps here today after previously having a DNF here TFTC

Quick grab. TFTC

Found it, great hide... although compass is out but I think it’s been moved as new mulch has been laid recently, (closer to a tree)

Today we spend the day caching in Northam to get a bit further with the LGA challenge. It was a great day with many great caches. Another good one. We went and had a look at the river from here. TFTC

Unfortunately a DNF here today, hopefully we can rectify this in the future TFTC

I had a spare day to myself and decided that I would spend it taking in the sights of Northam and surrounding areas. The weather was really hot, but the heat was punctuated with periods of heavy downpours which cooled things down quite nicely, for a moment at least. A great variety of caches were found today, totalling 19. Great to see a cache that is very accessible, yet away from prying muggles eyes. I like these containers, they seem to be very popular at the moment. Quick find. TFTC thabazleys

Well it’s now day 17 of our LGA gathering plus just basic enjoyment trip with m4yb, Jonathan the camper trailer and Max the GeoUte.
Had us looking for awhile and was worried it may have been buried under the mulch but she finally got it.
Thanks for the smiley the blazleys

Day 17 of our Adventure to the northern Goldfields and now in the Wheatbelt. After a good night at the very pleasant Toodyay Holiday Park (and chalets!) we are ready to explore the surrounds as far as Northam.
Was about to give up, thinking cache might be under the pile of mulch, but had an aha moment. TFTC!

Saw the balloon festival and found a cache too. TFTC

Quick find once we narrowed down what to look for.
Out and about caching our way to Northam.

TFTC thabazleys this is find # 2782 for us.

Anticipated what it would be quick find t4tc

On the way to meet up with the kids stopped for a quick cache

Thanks

An awesome day out in Northam to explore the town and find some caches.
Quick find here, walked to the weir as well.

Found with artemis93

Found with Crouchey and Rachie84

Tftc

This is the third time we e tried to find this, I'm sure it's obvious and we're just rusty!

Rock 'n' around Northam after a little event and decided to rock on over to this one. PP2 made a very speedy find here while I was working out the way to the next one. All is well here and can confirm this one is a flood survivor. TFTC minie hunter

NEF. I even let Webby stay in the car. TFTC

Easy find - we have many of these caches ourselves - all in good order

Nice find
Got us out to the great out doors!
(Also got Maccas run on the way here)

TFTC

Looks different found straight away this time. Tftc

I was in the area with John Curtin Weekend, a program run by Curtin Volunteers at Curtin University. We teamed up with members of the Avon Valley Environment Society to rebuild a walkway through the wetlands under this railway bridge.

Cachestro stumbled across this one, without a device as he saw a supsicious pile of rocks and had a look...we added our names to the logbook.

TFTC minie hunter.

minie hunter, I found your cache rock 'n' around on 4/09/2016.
This is my find #2985 and find #1 today.

Enjoying a holiday in Perth with tmann421 and collecting a few caches along the way.
Another great find here. TFTC

Another good find geocaching around the area with Just-Lookin. SL TFTC

Found it tftc

TFTC

To be fair we didn't find it our dog did well done lily

Found it

Popped down and checked and it is most defiantly still there

Must flip more rocks...

No joy
Is it possible this has been damaged? Looks like they have had the lawn mowers around recently and i found a round lid laying around.

Having found this before and seeing the dnf, I stopped in and had a good look about without finding it. I also realised on my way out that there was a temporary cache in place which I also didn't see but wasn't really looking for.

TFTC

Our GPSr lead us straight to the cache hide.
Nice location to see the river flowing.

Beautiful mild weather so I thought I would have a hunt around town while a waited for my appointment. Busy lunch time area although this was easy enough to shield with some strategic angling of the geovan. Lovely little picnic spot.

Great find tftc

Been here a few times over the last month looking for this one, got it now.

TFTC almost missed this one.

Come down with Minnie hunter and temporarily replaced the cache until she can find an appropriate container
