Lightning park 2 Noranda, Western Australia, Australia
By daz89 on 30-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5DZGE

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, daz89, 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 being in need of 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 any 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 daz89 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 there, and 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

Would be good to know if this is still here?

Despite a thorough search, we could not find it.

We had 3 pairs of eyes but gz very overgrown and not sure what is left of original host.

Did not find.

Others saying the container is missing.

Aw, five of us couldn't find it!
Thanks

??

Paper is a little too damp to sign

Log if completely water soaked. Didn’t have a spare to replace, sorry. This be us a great location and a nice natural container.
Thanks for the cache.

Found it. TFTC daz89. In the area today with a bit of spare time. The log is wet possibly needs a better container, quick find here thanks.

Quick find! TFTC!

I trekked up the sandy hill while Mr atCat waited with baby in the stroller. I have so much and in my boots now but it was well worth it for that amazing view over the highway! TFTC daz89

Not much of a container left!

Found the plastic bag. Seems to be doing ok but a sistema would be a good bet if future finder could provide.

Hidden well. No container left. Only small bag

Found the camouflage that was once stuck atop the container and the baggie (no container to be seen).

Signed the log and placed near original coordinates for retrieval and maintenance.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Container is missing, just a baggie left here!

Some caching before church without the kids. Easy find here once I was in the right spot. Unfortunately the cache is a bit worse for wear as there is no physical container just a baggie. Tftc

Found the log only, no container. Not signable anymore, unfortunately. I took a pic as proof of find

Thank you! I headed out for a cache or ten and enjoyed walking around this area. Happy to make the find here. Plastic bag would do with replacing.

After a parking debarkle where I took my camper the wrong way through a one way entrance... (no one was looking) I made my way to this cache. Found it and was glad it wasn't the Natural that I thought it may be. Have added a tiny piece of paper which is all I had but think it may get as wet as the other bit. TFTC

The log was unsignable so signed and left a new piece of paper.
TFTC daz89 this is find # 10098 for us.

Found this one after a trek through the sand.

Definitely in need of some TLC- I didn’t even attempt to write my name on the log. Have photo if required though.

TFTC

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

This one is in need of some TLC. We just about got our initial on the soggy log.

Found Ziploc bag with log, no container. Very waterlogged so couldn't sign so picture of evidence.

Cool camo I love it. Zip bag is ripped and given where it’s sitting a good pour of rain will ruin that log. So far ok. TFTC

Great design!

Very nice camo on this one TFTC

??????

Like the other teams before us. We found the cache host and the log in a zip lock bag under it. You can see where the container was attached but nothing to put the log into.
A bit of contact cement and a makeup jar would fix it perfectly.

my phone took me right to gz and looking at a previous photo i looked down and found the end of the camo and found the log sheet in a sealed bag. TFTC daz89

Find 2 of 11 with 2 DNFs on a little ride around Beechboro and surrounds.

Spent a while here. Found the old camo and a log sheet from Oct 2018, but no cache. It seems like it's gone to us, so for the time being we have signed the log sheet, put it in a new bag and covered it with the old camo, next to the obvious tree in the recent photo.

TFTC daz89!

Nice easy find. Soft sand bit of a challenge. TFTC

Have been caching in this area a few times now but never quite made it to this one... Decided to take the walk in the hot boggy sand to GZ, where Jase made the find [^]

TFTC daz89

The degree of difficulty on this one was definitely increased by having to push/carry Spectator1 and her wheelchair over the sandy tracks and the decision to do so in the dark although the temperature at night was more pleasant. TFTC
We can image it in its former glory

Day 285 of our 366 day straight challenge. Up this way for day 2 of a course so squeezing in a few caches beforehand.

Didn't take too long to spot this one. Log signed and cache replaced as found. Tftc

Out with B12 TFTH

No log so added a slip of paper and rehid

A beautiful Day to be out collecting caches, last day of the caching year, an event to attend NOR so had to try and cleanup a bunch of the map.

Had a successful day and a nice time at the event chatting to all the regulars.

Thanks for a nice day out.

I have put in a temporary log. TFTC

I found this cache quickly but unfortunately it was strewn all over the place, so it needs an CO intervention. Tftc

When I arrived it was all over the place, no log but the zipbag was there with the container, i have put it all back together and put it under a tree but it will need a CO intervention.

I have a couple of hours free this afternoon so just having a drive around this area to clear up the map a little and add some more smilies I ended up with 9 finds and 1 DNF so not bad at all Walked up here from Lightning Park with the weather being a mix of warm sunshine mixed in with rain showers. This stretch was warm and sunny Thankfully the BMX track was quiet today and at GZ it was just me and a blue tongue for company GZ seemed to be in a patch of nothingness but something suspicious nearby caught my eye. Moved the bush and bingo Unfortunately the container had leaked and the log was soaked so I sat on a nearby log for a few minutes to let it dry in the sun. I got it to the point I could sign it but then had to move on so replaced it damp. TFTC

Was in the area picking up some lego, thought I would pick up a couple of caches while in the area, tftc.

Quick find TFTH

Too close to the machines and under scrutiny to have a decent look

Out for a few more smilies this after noon, a clever hide here, took a little while but we got there in the end and we can now cross it off the list, grabbed a TB to move along TFTC

I think I walked past this one about 3 times before I realised it was the hide. Brilliant, and defintely had me fooled for a while. Dropped TB. TFTC daz89

Location not so nice. But found quickly. TFTC

An easy one. TFTC

This was awesome! Because there was no one around to bother me, this was just so much fun to find. No skulking, no pretending to bird watch, or whatever. Found it without looking at the description or hint, but that's a good thing! TFTC, got to be in my all-time top-5 hides!

The hide was full of water so tipped that out and signed the log. T4tc

Quick find. 4th one for today. TFTC

Interesting camo, TFTC

Coordinates Right on Log slightly damp, Nice cache to find TFTC daz89

Found it, another long walk but found it easily.
Picked up a log, and there it was. The log was a bit damp, so I couldn't write on it
Cool camouflage it has :3

Found after geo nephew got stung by bees. Watch out for last log - has huge bee hive. Cache is not in that direction

Quick easy find on an autumn morning
TFTC

Nice easy find for the kids

Nicely hidden

Geeees! Had me walking round in circles for a good 20 minutes! Finally found it and all in good condition. TFTC

Easy find

TFTC quick find

Cool

Easy find after a bit of gps wandering

Hi there daz89. We found your cache **"Lightning park 2"** at 10:11:00 AM today.

This was our 3rd cache find in a caching run of 6 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 15206.)

The aim of today's cache run was to circumnavigate Lightening Swamp, and then maybe locate a couple of other caches before lunch.

Initially our access was confounded by all the road works, but we found a safe spot to park and headed into the park.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 4m NE from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** Container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
** Left**: A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

TFTH quick find between showers!

Tftc

Tftc

Found it TFTC

Another successful find for Minergal & I today! A creative, well hidden cache at that! TFTC

Found with the Fabulous Panda. TFTC

Clever hide

Found it while walking the dog. Thank you.

Nice one TFTC

Spotted this clever one almost immediately. I guess I am very familiar with this bush. I noticed something a little odd.

Excellent hide, congrats. Found it but no note left as no pen. TFTC

Found it

Came here with aim to improve my D/T average stats. Drove up Tonkin Hwy taking exit to Lightning Park, immediately prior to Reid Hwy, thus park nearby. Nice camo, friendly spider to greet me too. TFTC

TFTC. Will hidden just off where I assumed.

Very accurate coords, so found without trouble. Love a bit of camo. TFTC daz89.

Nice tftc

Cache still here although the bmx track seems to just be sand now, not much fun on a push bike

Found it in a sneaky hidey-hole

Yes, Bush walks help..

Out for an early morning walk...found after a little bit of a search. TFTH

[font=Verdana]21384 caches found

the weather is so beautiful day for geocache... enjoyed walk along to GZ.

Again thanks to daz89 for organising the caches [font=Verdana] [^]

Cool hide. Thanks

Got this one at the second attempt when I had a closer look at the coords and the map satellite view. I had been looking in the wrong area, my gps does not like this corner. Nice to knock yet another local cache, TFTC daz89!

Out for a morning with the geo-girlfriend.

She made a quick find here, love the walk around this area.

Thanks daz89.

After a less-than-graceful climb to exit the park, happy to make the find here! TFTC daz89.

Nice camo here, enjoyable find, thongs probably wasn't the appropriate footwear on a winters morning but
tftc

I've been meaning to find this one for a long time, and I had some free time this afternoon. I parked the car at the end of Della Rd, and walked up the 500+m. It was a lovely walk, and I was happy to make a relatively quick find of a nicely hidden cache at the end.

I left the Are we there yet? TB in the cache. Thanks for the hide daz89!

Mother's Day number 2 for me. Lots of warrens!

Another nice camo. TFTC!

Quick find on the way home from work

Like the cammo

Tftc daz89

I came here and got a nearby cache a couple of weeks ago, when in fact this cache was the intended target. This cache fills another blank on my profile and I didn't realise I hadn't got it until I came to log the other one! Passing again today so stopped in, quick find here, TFTC.
