I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Jez&LibScarlett, requesting additional time, and it appears abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache.

Owners have no activity for 5 years. Cache appears to be missing?

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

##Cache Maintenance Required please.##
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance).

If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.

I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.

If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.

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

The bird wasn’t there

Bird wasn’t thre

Tried for geopup’s first cache today but unfortunately no luck. Great day for a walk but all we found were mosquitoes. On the plus side there were heaps of wildflowers. Will try again another time.

Found the right spot, going off someone else's photo, but didn't find him.

Found after a while, my GPS said we were about 12 metres away from where it’s hidden.

??

Found it

Catching up on some logs from caching runs with Barnzy12. Finally catching up. Thanks for the placement.

Cheeky

Had to fight off 90 kangaroos to find this but defiantly a decent find

Tftc

Kmtclan, found, tftc

Well hidden

first ever find. Now I have learnt to look harder

Approached this guy on the best side, so that a glimpse of red from 10 meters was all I needed to make a leap find. Unfortunately, it looks like he has lots of termite friends that have semi buried him, perhaps it was a good shot from a distance and he smashed his way in? Either way, l lacked the tools to extract the container. Next person should bring a screw driver or similar tool to let this bird free! TFTC

Found by the Madsens and Vincent's tftc

A fairly easy park and grab apart from the continuously barking dog across the road from where I parked. TFTC

A quick find here today he has a nice dry shady nest Thanks for bringing us here luckily there were no mozzies today TFTC

We woke up to a beautiful spring day so decided to head to Bunbury for a spot of caching & exercise. We certainly got both here. TFTC Jez&LibScarlet

Fun find

Found it

A nice quick find.
TFTC Jez&LibScarlett this is find # 7630 for us.

Thank you for the cache. Careful of creepy crawlies

so cute! tftc!!

My 3yr old boy found it before me! Fun to find, we've camouflaged it a bit as it was quite exposed

This one took a bit of searching but managed to spot it on the ground! Got the container open, signed the log and replaced in the obvious spot.

Well, another month rolls around and it’s time for another big day trip towards the south. We are slowly clearing the map around the Bunbury area and headed to this area once again to clear a few more green dots! This cache was one we targeted for the day (mainly looking for park and grab types today). Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Jez&LibScarlett, I was in this area today and found your cache Red the Desert Cardinal goes bush GC5BA1Z. I added my name to the log book at 10:55 am on 3 March 2019. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

This cache find brings our total find count to 10457. Woohoo!!

It was bad

Angry bird was found yeet

Didn’t find.

Looked for about 15 minutes. Unable to find.

Wasn’t able to locate after searching high and low.

Another green dot off the map, Tftc.

After doing maintenance nearby with Dimor stopped by to get this one. Lid is stuck

Called in with Rach to get this one after we did a nearby maintenance check but sadly we couldn’t open it.
TFTC

Miss 6 was very excited. Unable to open, though enjoyed the search. Thank you!

Thank you for the cache and my find #250....

Nice walk today
The log is wet and does need replacing

Fun and easy find

Amongst the many mozzies we found it but couldn't open it (noted gentle comment). Took a photo but haven't signed the log. Also found the one nearby. Thank you!

Nice easy find

Good find.

Quick find and the start of my Tuart Forest bush walk. After signing the log I found a second cache meters away. No idea if it is the final of another cache or a second cache....mmmm. I will try to work it out. Anyways TFTC.

After some work I have found there are two caches at GZ meters apart. I think the right one matches the cache name and description.

Tftc

TFTC great hide easy find. No maintenance needed.

tftc nice'n easy

Cute, A quick find while up in Bunbury today.
TFTC

An easy find tftc

A quick find while up in Bunbury today.

We stopped to log this find late this afternoon. Thanks for the angry hide.

Logged with K.B. while we were visiting Bunbury. Thanks for the hide.

It was dark by the time we found this cache. This little character looked more cute than angry.

Thanks for the hide. Cute cache container now too waterproof changed out the log for a price paper.

Got him thanks.
The log is soaking wet

Thanks

am attempting maintenance on all our caches this week

The log is very wet.

Quick find with geo juniors. Tftc

Tyftc

Had a lovely day walking in the Tuart forest. Found 19 caches And had only one DNF
Thanks to all the CO's for their great work in placing and maintaining these caches.

Introducing my nieces to caching. Their first find after a bit of bush-bashing. TFTC

My girlfriend was getting her hair done and I had 2 hours to get some geocaching done...TFTC

Tftc

out in the Forrest enjoying the wild flowers and a few caches tftc jez& lib

A day out caching in the southern end of Bunbury suburbia. A mix of urban and bush caches that chewed out a few kilometres on foot today. A fair bit of cross country in doing these Dallyelup caches late in the afternoon. Nice touch to the cache, all makes sense on finding it. Easy as I walked straight up to it.

After we had spent the day around Margaret River, we caught up with iluvtrekking to make a joint foray on this cache. Had read past logs so knew we had to extend our search and soon Mr iluvtrekking announced he had uncovered it. Thanks Jez&LibScarlett

Found with richlink before we headed back to Perth. Thanks Jez&LibScarlett.

Tftc nice clever find

TFTC

Last find for the day

Cool cache!! Nice quick find

Great

Happily, we made a quick find here today. Enjoying our wandering around this bushland.
Thanks for the cache Jez&LibScarlett

TFTC! Found on Day 1 of my quick South West trip. I travelled from PErth to Bunbury via the South West Highway picking up a couple of caches as I went.

I cached all morning around the Dalyellup and South Bunbury area before going to Busselton to check in to my hotel and pick up a couple of local caches I didn't get on the WAGB weekend. Followed by heading out to pickup the new Holden series of caches, which I didn't get to finish as the sun went down with about ten caches left and I wasn't too keen on travelling at night.

Thanks to the local COs all caches were found in good condition.

Tftc. Gps way playing games but following new cords we made the find signed and re hid. With master 3 and geo granny.

I looked around and around as my gps took me around and around and no luck Next time hopefully.

TFTC

No activity by owner and another dnf for me today??

Sorry wrong button

Will have a look at this on the weekend and see where he went

Coordinates changed from:
S 33° 23.519 E 115° 37.597

Coordinates changed to:
S 33° 23.517 E 115° 37.600

Distance from original: 20.8 feet or 6.4 meters.
Hopefully these are right as i am playing with a new gps

Will head out to check on this one soon hopefully by the weekend how ever still not too keen on being alone in my adventures out bush just yet having had a full left hip replacement in December.
And Unfortunately for me Jez has lost his enthusiasm for caching for now.

No joy for me after a lengthy search. Hopefully you are willing and able to respond to previous requests for maintenance. Thanks anyway.

The birds seems to have flown the coupe. A dnf here today.

Had a quick search but mention of the coords being up to 11m off did not fill me with much hope here

Jez&LibScarlett - jinta29 had to DNF your cache Red the Desert Cardinal goes bush on 4/03/2015 10:30 am. I searched but didn't find the cache

Coordinates need updating.

After navigating our way to GZ and giving the area a cursory glance, and not seeing any likely hiding spots, I wandered further afield and lucked out, finding the cache in the second spot I looked. Mind you, my gps was telling me that GZ was 11-12m from where I found the cache, so the CO might like to recheck the listed coordinates on this one. Thanks for the smiley though

Gps took us to a different gz... Turned around and spotted him from a distance... TFTC

i decided on another trip down bunbury so Skippy 46 and Kristybelle came along as well. It was quite a warm day and with most caches that we were looking for in the bush we only managed 15 finds but we managed to clear up a couple of DNFS from last week and there was no DNFS today.
Im sure there was an easy to get into this reserve but i didnt find it so i decided we would go over the fence. Parked as close as possible and with a lot of mucking about i finally got over the fence. We found GZ to be out by 6 metres but after a bit of searching Kristybelle spotted the cache. Now to get back over the fence lol....TFTC jez&LibScarlett

to get to this cache wasn't an easy task and neither was getting the log out but it was all good in the end. Cache found, log signed and ladder placed back in car. ......just don't ask

TFTC Jez&LibScarlett

Woohoo !!! Found it !!! It was Lying on ground in the open, appeared to have fallen from its hiding spot. Replaced and secured as good as I could.

Those damn mozzies did make me give up. Will return later with my secret potion to defeat them.

wow those damn mozzies nearly made me give up...but we kept looking and YAY

Published

2TF I love angry birds they are so cool. Seen there was a DNF log previously so made me more determined to find it. Only took couple of mins but someone else had still beaten me to the FTF . But TFTC

Sadly a DNF for us. We Looked high and low, could not find it.
