Swan Dial 71 Dianella, Western Australia, Australia
By mattmason1 on 26-May-15. Waypoint GC5W9KD

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, mattmason1, 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 mattmason1 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

Its not here!

Up in Perth for Mr dimor’s Mums birthday today but first grabbing a few caches.
As we were in the area thought we’d have a look but unfortunately no find.

Probably wouldn’t hurt for CO to have a look to see if it’s missing or under the mulch somewhere. Cheers

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Probably wouldn’t hurt for CO to have a look to see if it’s missing or under the mulch somewhere. Cheers

Sadly no luck today, based on some of the previous logs hinting at location think this has been muggled, cheers

Didn’t find it

Not there

Didn’t expect it to be in that spot! Had to look very carefully! Signed the log and thanks for the adventure!!

Anyone finds it please message me thank you

looking all over for it and finally found it in the simplest spot

Looked for 30 minutes but didn't find

????

Easy find, good camouflage. Not sure this would be the easiest dial to use!

Zac and Lachie

Was a little tricky to start with but got it! Thank you!

Getting to the geocache was very fun. The best part is when you actually find it! Thank you!

Was looking in the wrong spot for a while then I saw it

fun az

Out for a morning run and this shopping centre has changed a bit since I was last here.
I began searching the wrong object but when I came up empty I moved over to this one. Then it was quickly spotted.

Thanks for the location. Great spot

I don't think I ever knew this was here, I don't come here often but I've definitely visited & walked past it without even paying attention to what it is, isn't that shocking. Thanks for bringing me here, I now know what this is. TFTC

Nice Swan dial.
Well positioned cache

Nowhere apparent

What a gorgeous piece of history. Great find! (Stef and Jack)

Easy find! Great spot.

Quick find, and cool fun fact! TFTC

This was my very first geocaching find! (and my wife's).

Hopefully the start of more fun

Cool spot! Thanks for bringing us here

Obvious spot in the end, didn’t stop me poking around wrong host for a while, thanks

Nice quick find here. Glad to be able to have a sit down whilst searching! Made for an easy, stealthy retreival. TFTC

Nice hide, used a bit stealth and patience. Signed the log, TFTC

That time of year again... COUNTRY WEEK!
This time we are playing at Yokine Reserve, so a new area for some unfound geocaches. Having a bit of spare time on my hands this afternoon, thought I’d head out and grab some caches around the area.

This one was so cool! I legit felt like a spy finding it!

Took a little while to find with all the wind and rain but eventually found it

Found. TFTC

Cheeky hide. Took longer to roll the log back up in those damn nanos. 13/10

Easy find! Log hard to get out tho

It’s still here and in fine shape. TFTC

Disappointing as it’s so small on photo think someone might have taken it as we looked for a while. STA

Thanks!

TFTC

I love the look of the sundial. If you look at it side on, it looks like a black swan

Nice find out with DarkPixi. TFTC

Eventually found it

[:o)]

Out on a few errands today, what better than to grab a local cache or two.

Do not find myself on this side of the river often, and with a little time to myself what better to do than caching.

WOW. Fantastic piece of functional art. Very impressive.

As I approached I had a good idea of the expected container, and I spied the container as I got closer

Out to continue the drive to 5000. Thanks mattmason1 for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 14:05:00. This was my Find 2 for today out of a Total number of 8 Finds and 0 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I signed the log and returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 4930.

Was quite fortunate and spotted this one on the walk over.

TFTC!

I really don’t know how I missed this one last time. Another DNF struck off the list. TFTC

Found today by geoson in alone outing found straight away to avenge a DNF really cool landmark in suburban Perth thank you for placing this cache to showcase it

Quick find. Despite regular visits to Dianella plaza I never even knew this place existed. Unable to get logbook from cache.

Easy peasy! TFTC!

Quick find. Very interesting sun dial. Couldn’t get the log out though. TFTC!

A quick find on a little trip NOR TFTC mattmason1

TFTC

Couldn’t get paper out, need tweezers. Didn’t expect to find it where we did.

Searched everywhere within reach that didn’t require standing in flowers

Quick find TFTH

Found 26th May and failed to log. Cache painted over but managed to locate. TFTC. I did not know this was here.

I think maybe someone took it

I love it ️ nice hide from On 29 may TFTC

I Found on 29 of May I forget to log the geo ️

Found! After many walk bys was easy to spot!

Couldn't actually dig about too much was just painted

Sunday bike ride with my grandson Mason discovering Geocaches

Went geocaching on a cold, sunny May morning in Dianella. This was the first find. The sundial was cordoned off but no one was around to see me duck in to grab the cache. TFTC

Not sure about the wing clue but a dentist would probably not like where we found it (and returned it)

Meow

Didn't have a pen

TFTC!

Couldn't get paper out to write name on.

Quick find while out with a mate riding. This is an awesome sculpture, favourite point from me. Tftc

A cheeky one

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.

I was worried a cache, being near the main entrance of the shopping centre, would be difficult. However, I was conveniently able to take a seat and nab the cache. Cheers mattmason1!

Found during a shopping trip with the geokids. TFTC

My first logged geocache! Tricky little thing. TFTC

TFTF asked my mum frist for size and found

Catching up on a heap of logs I haven’t sent from runs with Barnzy12. Thanks

Dropped by early this morning to find the cache with no trouble whatsoever. It’s not where I originally put it, but is in easy grasp and it actually makes it far easier to retrieve with pesky muggles trudging about. New log installed.

Came back yesterday and left empty handed. Had a look around and found it. 'Tis pretty cool. TTFC

Had about a 10 minute look for this one. We checked in the spot that the hint seemed to suggest that cache was located at but we came up empty handed. We need enjoy seeing this cool sun dial. Thanks for bringing us to the cool spot.

Cool sundial that I wouldn't have noticed.

Tftc. Interesting spot.

Easy find with Skyryser. Tftc The-Shredder

Found quickly TFTC

After catching up with Neva2old and Yeatesy89 for a play and coffee in Kings Park and off course a few more smilies, we continued on our separate ways as we had a milestone we wanted to hit, and yep we did it a nice easy find here TFTC

Found it with Guinness12 and found its magnet and fixed it back again. Nice spot ! Tiny little bugger.

Wow so small, great spot.

Tftc. Popped into the supermarket, and on a random whim, checked my geo map when i returned to the car. Low and behold...a cache less than 20mtrs away. Well, and search followed, and I'm pleased to state that we found the pesky little bugger.

We found this a bit lower than I expect it's meant to be, as cache lost its magnet. Found at GL....but not sign of the magnet?

Tiny!!!! But found it
