Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, TSL3, 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 TSL3 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.
Thank you

Gave it real go below and above the wall, thought some.of the holes in the limestone wall would have it for sure but no luck.
I have done some maintenance on this geocache.
It is a different hide from the original.
Best of luck geocachers

###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, TSL3.
The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 30 days to see if either
- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken
**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it 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.

I recommend owner checks cache, unlikely it’s still here. I had a good search DNF
Undertook what I thought was a thorough search of GZ from both elevations, but it didn't yield a result.
Dropping family off at the hospital nearby. Nice hide - never thought Id be climbing a ladder when I started out my day today! Haha - TFTC
I was born over the road many years ago. First time in the area for 20 years. Signed log and replaced. Thanks for the hide
Just had surgery at the hospital and I really needed a find today for my stats sheet! Nipped over to grab this one. Have put a piece of paper in as the log was missing but I had no bag to waterproof it so may need maintenance soon. TFTC
It’s a good cache but the idea of geocaching is that you have a log book and it’s like a treasure hunt not like a thing to find rocks and say hi back even tho it was quite funny and Hi
Easy find. Need new bag.
Cycle past this point every day for the last 5 years, finally found time to stop and have a look

Headed out early with mommy Ooh Yeh for yet another caching run north of the river. Pretty good day with 30 finds and one FTF and unfortunately 4 DNFS so that means we will be back up this way in the near future for another look for them. TFTC!
This is find #2060 for the me and the geo - kids!

Staying at Innaloo for some work training, of course I had to look for a few caches whilst there! This was one I found after parking near the ladder & making my way to GZ from there... Cache was soon spotted after noticing a suspicious pile of rocks

It's been a long day! [|)] Spent around 10 hours out on the bike, grabbing caches. Took the train to Stirling and then went through Tuart Hill, Joondanna, Yokine, Dianella and Inglewood before 'running express' back to Perth Underground Station to jump back on the Mandurah Line home. Got a little bit sunburnt, and had limited success at stages throughout the day... However, I still managed to end the day with 29 finds and 7 DNFs - the majority of those being at missing caches.
This was a quick find, once I was on the correct level. Cheers TSL3!

Loved this area, gave me England vibes!! Love climbing and adventuring thru this hot of land. TFTC We had fun!!
Stopped off here on my way to do some retail therapy this afternoon. Parked up in the overflow car park and watched the local RC Helicopter club practising their flying over the grass. There were some seriously impressive model aircraft! With the buzz of the mini choppers in the air I walked over towards GZ and could immediately see what some previous comments meant regarding ‘elevation’. Coords seemed ok for me today, and anyway GZ is pretty obvious. Consequently it was a nice quick find for me here, no problems at all. The pilots were packing up as I walked back to the car, so looks like I’d just caught the end of their flying display. TFTC
Out for some caching with the geo daughter, one half of TH/CS. Trying for a bunch today.
Day 31 of 365! This years resolution is to find at least a cache a day. Not only for the thrill of the chase but I’ll also get super fit as well!
Found with Thro60clan while we were at the moon viewing event. A SUPER BLUE BLOOD MOON! Was awesome. A nice quick find here. Tftc!

Tftc - came to see the supermoon, bloodmoon/ eclipse through the telescopes near here and of course thronsy.4 suggested we grab the nearby caches

I was in the area today, and with some free time up my sleeve, I decided that I would have an attempt at finding this cache. I had to search for a while, before changing my elevation. After that, I found the cache almost straight away.
TSL3, I found your cache ‘Yosemite Sam’ today. It was the fourth find of five today and my total count now lies at 975. The cache was found in a good condition, so I added my signature to the log book and I replaced it as I found it. Thank you for the cache, the hide and for bringing me to this location.

Skyryser had to lift me up so that I could recover the cache. Found quickly. TFTC The-Shredder
We headed NOR this afternoon to visit our daughter and son-in-law and managed to talk them into grabbing some caches with us.
A quick find once we were looking in the right area.
TFTC TSL3 this is find # 3857 for us.

Unable to find, look in every gap, about the water bore up the ladder but no luck! Oh well! With hope i can find it later. Thanks!

Been a while since Cravo10 and I have ventured out to cache the burbs of Perth, with us both having a rare free day between moving houses, building walls, setting up retic and general stuff around each other's houses we decided to have a couple of hours to cache around the city of Stirling.
We cleaned up a good number of RossInPerth hides, which was a welcome change as we've had some difficulty with his over the years.
There was a great variety of caches around today. Some big, some small, some camoed, a few nano (love them)
Ended up with thirty odd finds and a number of great pics from where we started in Stirling and where we ended up in Claremont.
Ended on a little sour note with Me copping a 200 dollar find for speeding a little bit in the back roads of Claremont, much to the my annoyance as I wasn't speeding when I went past them going the other way, just forgot they were there.
Thanks for a great day out to the local COs.
Good to clear up a DNF here

TFTH TSL3 How lovely to be out and about on a sunny morning!! Quick find at GZ and LS
Could spot the cache location easily when heading towards it. Obviously chose the right direction/ got lucky
Great hiding spot! Stopped by this morning after a brief detour on my way to work. A quick find once I got on the right level. Thank you for the cache TSL3.
Another good find on the drive around today. Nice area. SL TFTC
