No action on NM for over a year, CO hasn't visited for 6 months. Time to head to shelves of history

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

Will have to archive until I'm able to get a suitable replacement

Seems to have gone missing. Will look to find or replace soon

Not saying that it's not here because there are lots of potentially good hiding spots. That said, we spent a long time here and came up with only a "sad one" today.

Had an extensive look around today couldn't find it. We do note it hasn't been found for 6 months

Searched for a good half an hour. Couldnt find a single trace. Not sure if gone, or hidden really really well in the bushes. Or maybe its in the swamp after all the rainfall we've had....

DNF

Good condition

TFTC was a quick n easy find!

We found this geocache kind hard to find didnt find it right away. Great spot aswell! We didnt have yo venture in any long grass to find it!

Thanks for the hunt. Such a beautiful spot for a walk

Think we were a bit lucky to find this one quickly but we weren't venturing into any long grass so it eliminated a wider search. Found cache in good condition. Awarding a fave for a well planned series that was a perfect distance for a few hours of caching. Tftc and for bringing us to this location, forsmike.

Found it all tact out of all 6 of us our 4 year old found it! Thanks for find

Cache replaced. There is a little red car inside as a swappable

No sign of it

was cooked

Cooked

Found a lid... Not sure where it was meant to be though

Cache had been tampered with but I was able to reconstruct and hide again.

A great Sunday morning stroll in an area that i used to work. Thanks for the cache and for bringing me back here.

Out caching with Mistraluna. Almost jumped across the 'river' to get to that one (obviously we didn't know that there was a footpath).
Mistraluna found that one while I was looking from somewhere else. Thank you for bringing us to this beautiful place.

Teamed up with Eliktrisiti today to find a cache or three (not sure how many we did actually find in the end, but it was a few more than just three). We headed north on the freeway and found ourselves turning off at Russell Road and then out this way. We enjoyed our adventure getting to gz from where we parked, then found a significantly easier way back out again, though not anywhere as exciting, lol. Really loved the location and wonder why I have never been to this beautiful lake before - so pretty and peaceful here. Found the cache after admiring the view, even dropped in a trackable to continue its journey. Thanks for bringing out here forsmike, great experience all the way around.

Enjoyed the stroll around the lake, thanks forsmike.

On a caching run around the lake this afternoon, this one was a quick find ... the first of the day. Great spot here.

SL. Thanks for the hide forsmike ... this one will help with GeoSportz 2016

Found it !

What a lovely secret place. Would like to bring my bike next time. Giving a favourite. TFTC

Parked end of Amur but Russell Rd on Wright intersection has much better access to this great pathway. Cache full of ants as someone had left a lolly in it. It was pouring rain so I had time to clean the container out, waiting for a lull but got soaked anyway. TFTC.

An awesome location - loved the birdlife. TFTC.

TFTC! After a lovely Friday tackling the kep track series out towards Northam, Cravo and I managed to sneak in a little run out near his place in spear wood.

We haven't really done much caching around the burbs recently, having focused our attention on some Nice long country drives to plus some caches that have been on the radar for quite some time.

It was actually quite refreshing to be back out there searching for some good urban camo caches and alike. Cravo found most of these, a bit of a welcome change from the normal routine!!!

Hoping to catch up with everyone at the wa goes big event in Pinjarra on the wa day long weekend. Thanks

Had a few hours spare today after having to work a few weekends in a row, this was now my weekend on but got to have it off. A great feeling.
Breakfast with itskate then the grocery shopping and then cleaned the house.
Now it was time to do something. The sun was out and some close by caches were calling me.
So I hoped in the Geo car and away we went, B12 also joined in for a little afternoon hunting and we managed to clear the map of some new and old caches that had yet to be found.

Great little spot with a reason to stop .. The Colcotts

Sandylea nice spot to bird watch

The first find for JBSSG Scouts! Yah. Was hard for first timers but we're going to be on a role for the next one!

First find for JBSSG scouts

Easy find on otherwise drab and wet day . TFTF

G'day from Brisbane.
Close to workplace for next few days.
Thought I would get out and log a few caches.
Nice lake and viewing platform.
Usung phone app, thought hide would be around the shelter. Looked high and low before finally getting close to GZ. Oh, OK, there it is. TNLN TFTC.

To our surprise a heron flew before us as we approached the gz. Great coordinates made this a quick find.
Chris & Renate from Ontario, Canada

Brought my two boys here. My elder boy found it and he was super happy. This is really fun and thanks for it. Been living in this area for a while and I have never even been to this part of the lake. Nice scenery!

Let loose on my own to cache while the Patrol was having a big service in Bibra Lake. Grabbed the courtesy car and spent the day grabbing finds in locations we don't often visit. Thanks forsmike

Found it quickly, log was a little damp. It is a swamp I guess. TFTC mate.

Was a quick find here at the most obvious of spots once at GZ. Log signed and cache returned as found.

Enjoyed watching the birds that were out on the lake.

Thanks forsmike for the cache.

Originally logged under clan-wallace. Now using my own name.

What a beautiful place, thank you for bringing us here to enjoy the birdlfe. We could not understand why the log is damp. Perhaps because the outer bag has been nibbled or because some of the swag in there has got trapped in the lid preventing a good seal. Dried it out & put the log in a bag too. TFTC

Stopped by on the way back to the car from the other along the path, Muggles were on the platform on the way out, all clear, found quickly SL TFTH and bringing us here. Log is quite damp

Nice stroll. The cache had some multi legged wildlife in it. It is also a little damp but still good. Thanks.

A nice quick find here in the second place we looked . A nice spot too

forsmike - jinta29 found your cache Lake Coogee Bird Watch on 29/08/2015 9:49 am. This is my find #3674 and find #1 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Another quick find on my morning run. It wasn't the first place I looked but I spotted it just after. The log is a little damp but still writable.
TFTC forsmike

Quick find. Nice view from the hide with Black Swans swimming nearby. TFTC Forsmike.

Found it. Awesome place to come and bird watch. Tnx for cache..

Out and about on a caching run with OOH YEH and Skippy46 grabbing the odd ones here and there with plenty of laughs along with way, it's like being on an outing with a married couple

This one was first on our list.

Parked near by and made the quick walk to GZ. While OOH YEH looked elsewhere I laughed and grabbed the cache

SL and off to the next one

TFTC

Out caching with Skippy 46 and Dimor today. Had a great day and with no DNFS it made it even better.
This was our first stop and the cache was quickly found. Only spotted one lonely duck on the lake today. TFTC forsmike

Out and about with OOH YEH & Dimor today to find some more smily faces.
Came back home with 23 finds and no DNFs.......
This was our first stop today and we made a quick find.
A lovely place to watch the birds, so quiet and peaceful.

Thanks for the cache and showing us this new area forsmike.

In between meetings today, I had some time to kill so decided to grab a cache.

Took a short cut in and made a quick find here today. Will come back when I've got more time on my hands.

forsmike I found your cache Lake Coogee Bird Watch on 23/07/2015. This is my find #3467. TFTC.

Thanks for bringing me to this lovely spot with some nice views not much bird life but I'm sure there would be at times. It was a nice quick find this morning TFTH SL

A quick find in this scenic spot which I had not previously visited.TFTC

I was at home studying for some upcoming exams when I saw the email pop up on my iphone. I got out of my pajamas (at 3.30pm) and put some more respectable clothes on. I made my way to Rockingham for another FTF and then headed up this way. By the time I got here, I thought that firnsy may well have snuck in and grabbed this one. I made my way down to the water and then wandered down the the bird watch. Great little spot in an area where I have thought of placing caches, glad to see somebody finally did. I opened the logbook up to be *FTF*. Well stocked container here, collected the FTF certificate and also my first license for geocaching! Thanks for the great cache here in a great spot forsmike.

2nd to FIND AGAIN?!! Are you kidding me Krabiboy!!!! LOL!! MINUTES!! MINUTES BEHIND YOU!
As we were racing down the road we kept commenting on whether or not you might be in a car in front. It's a good thing you left such a nice Pathtag, we are mildly appeased. Haha.

TFTC, this is one beautiful spot and was fun running for it.
