Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, minie hunter, 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 Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.
Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.
Alternatively:
* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.
In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by minie hunter and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.

Saw two planes take off this afternoon. Must have been the calm before the storm that saw so much activity here. Unfortunately I smashed the side of my head into the little stumpy branch that faces the road. Made me see stars and I still have a throbbing head. Teach me to be more careful. Thanks for the cache.
We had a trip planned for this neck of the woods in March but the ‘Rona virus put a halt to that and we have only just got around to booking some free time to get away from home. This cache was one we targeted for our two day mini-adventure, cheers and TFTC.
G’day there minie hunter, I was in this area today and found your cache fly`n' around GC562XX. I added my name to the log book at 1:52 pm on 7 October 2020. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

No planes today but a fun day introducing cousins to geocaching. Have left a travel bug trying to get to the desert. TFTC
Grabbing a couple of quickies on my way home from an epic weekend. There was a plane leaving and people working on a chopper nearby. Was nice to watch the plane take off. Thanks for bringing me here
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 one we found early in the day, having made a bit of a detour to come and get it, but more than happy to have a smiley out this way. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to come and find minie hunter
Hi there minie hunter. I was out with Mistraluna for a couple of planned days of Geocaching around the FOTT trail near York. We had both worked out finals for all caches and using the Nuvi and both GPS's, all caches were found quickly - and the containers and logs are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to minie hunter for this cache - our find 8315
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 check out the planes.

Out and about early this morning to watch the hot air balloons whilst staying in Northam. Stopped to grab this cache before heading off to find a few more before the CITO event.
A nice quick one here. Spotted a couple of old aircraft.

WAGB19 weekend! 
Had driven out to Northam this morning and after checking out the event location & registering, I then headed out for a drive picking up some caches between Northam and York, with some time then spent in York itself. Was a lovely day weather-wise and caching-wise This was one of the caches I stopped off at and I had no problems here at all. Thought I might see some other teams doing the same as me but the area - and aeroclub - was all very quiet today. Cache was located very quickly; a nice easy drive-by TFTC

A quick find on a beautiful spring day.
So much action this morning, planes doing touchdowns, hot air balloons, planes landing. Fun fun fun!!

This is why we enjoy geocaching.

As the spot has been underwater most of the week and as I work nearby, I thought id check the cache and sure enough it was completely full of water. I have taken the cache to work to dry it out I will put it back later today

TFTC! Found on a quick Northam run to show the wife this town she has somehow never been to?
On the way home with WebblyWA, we made a stop here and she made the quick find. TFTC mnie hunter!
On my way home from taking a couple of horses out to the Farm and decided to stop off in Northam for a bit of caching on the way home with m4yb. This was my first stop and a quick find here, no planes flying around while we where there though. TFTC minie hunter
headed out with the geohubby early this morning to grab some caches. We left at 5AM and headed out to York, Northam and Wundowie and picking up some other caches along the way. Didnt realize it was going to be so hot today so a few got taken off the list that involved walking but we still managed 32 finds and no DNFS so not a bad days effort. Most caches were found quite quickly with a few tricky ones that took a bit of searching. TFTC
With school holidays upon us, I headed to Northam to find a few caches with the kids... This cache was one we found on our travels 
This one was a quick find, before heading over to watch a few planes land... The kids love watching them, so we stayed & had a picnic here before heading off towards the next cache!
TFTC minie hunter
Cache was in good condition.
