One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will 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.

I knew this cache was disabled but thought I would have a look to see if it was still there to find.
I found an obvious hide spot but no cache, so I'm pretty sure this one may have been removed or muggled.

Interesting place though, never knew there were horses here!
Such a shame this cache and many others nearby may have to go, although I think this one may well comply with the new guidelines!
Hopefully I can come back and try this one again soon!
TFTH!
 
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 well concealed. Paper log is getting a little long in the tooth.

Found on 1st attempt with young son. Our 2nd cache ever.
 
08-Dec-14
Found on a second attempt. Tried last week unsuccessfully despite widening my search area as suggested. Today I scrolled through older logs to find some alternative coords so I could at least search the correct tree. Poked around the base, given the hint, but no cigar. Looked up, and there it was at chest height. TFTC Smile

Allow about a 10metre probability zone but there it is. Log is damp and I didn't have time to dry it. Sorry. Also front page is full. Plenty of room on the back. Replaced in a more concealed fashion.TFTC.

Bit of a search. Gps was off a bit. TFTC
 
12-Sep-14
Found this about 8m from where my GPS was leading me, but I think the tree cover was confusing things. The cache was quite exposed and when I returned it, I made sure it was securely and snugly tucked away. TFTC rockthree

Could not find after 10 min. 6 children searching
 
31-Aug-14
Checked after recent DNFs and it is still there. I notice the nearby trees, water and horse structure messes with the GPS a bit. Widen the radius of your search I reckon. Good hunting!
 
30-Aug-14
Could not find after 10 mins. Searched all trees in the area. Dogs impatient.
 
28-Aug-14
DNF!!! Grrrr.... If it was hidden like Swampy 2 I fear a muggles might have got it

A re-visit of this cache after finding Swampy 4. Once again I looked at the spot directed by my Garmin. But then I decided to look further afield and was happy to make to make the find! For the sake of these lovely trees, I recorded my find at S31 50.937 E 115 47.467.
TFTC rockthree, great series in this very pleasant area!
 
19-Jul-14
Obviously trusted the GZ on my Garmin at our first visit, maybe also all the pulled out and hanging paperbark. Thank fully m4yb chose the correct tree to look in while I was exploring the others.

Nice to add the smily for this and complete the series at this stage.

TFTC rockthree.

Nice warmish day so decided to go and check on our Monyash Cache and pick up a few newish caches while there. This one took us a while as our GPS had us looking around the wrong one! SL TFTC
 
14-Jul-14
One of us caught a glimpse in the eye 9 metres away. Found it was the cache! TFTC
 
12-Jul-14
Parked at the shopping centre and walked around Carine Open Space looking for caches. Found this cache after searching all the paperbark trees and then going back to the one I had started at for a second look.
 
Beautiful day for a ride. Thanks dtm and Kate.
 
11-Jul-14
The first of our ride and cache around Carine. But unfortunately, no luck here. No horseriding nearby as it is the school holidays, which gave megawat60 and I time for a good search. The host is showing signs of previous searches, but ours was in vain. Will come back soon, as we enjoyed the ride (bikes that is, not horses!)
 
11-Jul-14
We enjoyed our first ride around this lake and our first ride back in the bike saddle since coming hame after our European Adventure.

Disappointing to have no find here, no muggles in the horse yard but lots of signs of searches all around GZ, we even tried a few other places close at hand. Would love to get confirmation that it is still there or has been muggled.
 
04-Jul-14
Riding the geo-bike in Carine and Duncraig this morning to find a number of new caches in the area.
There were a couple of muggles in the stables so I had to be really stealthy and patient here. TFTH
 
28-Jun-14
Set out to collect some smilies on this somewhat sunny but super cold morning. Luck was on our side as GZ was pretty much muggle free for the 5 minutes it took for the GPSs to settle and the search to be successful. Thanks for bringing us here, we never knew there were horses here! TFTC rockthree!
 
27-Jun-14
If I never see a paperbark again it will be too soon!!! Frustrating but enjoyable TFTC
 
26-Jun-14
Hells Bells!!! I spent 20 minutes searching paperbark after paperbark. Dodging horse riders and walkers is a disaster at this location. Eventually I spotted the cache and fled the scene. Thanks for the cache.
 
23-Jun-14
We looked, we logged, we left!
A quick find to keep our caheing run happening. Love this open space
Thanks rockthree.
 
22-Jun-14
My first find couldn't let my wife go 3 up haha. Flipping muggles everywhere
 
18-Jun-14
Saw these few caches published recently so decided to give them all a go this morning.
Took a few minutes but eventually found the right tree Smile. TFTC.
 
18-Jun-14
Found on my third attempt this morning , the two previous tries were twarted by muggles the other side of the fence 2 - 3m away riding and giving instructions
TFTC
 
17-Jun-14
Nice spot. Found GZ and then had to hunt which was the right tree. TFTC
 
15-Jun-14
A quick find once I eliminated a couple of the possibilities.

Nice spot for a cache...thanks rockthree.
