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

I decided to take my doggie for a walk and do this Lake Coogee series! TFTC the cache needs replacement.

Danke schön, für das gute versteck.

Found it, geocache is damaged but laminated so still accessible. Can’t write on it though. TFTC
Perfect day for a walk so I made sure the pram was in the car and we set off for an adventure. There's less likelihood of complaints if the Turdler is being pushed around with a slight chance he'll nap so off we (just the Turdler and I) went to Lake Coogee today. We had found 3 here previously so set off heading in the opposite direction.
Super damaged container here. Placed as neatly as I could but definitely needs to be replaced.
Axe =)

Out and about getting some fresh air and grabbing a few smiley's. Lake Coogee has been on the radar for a while now. Just hope the rain stays away. Cache here needs attention as it's falling apart. TFTC
A nice fresh wintry morning for a walk around the lovely lake finding some caches and this is one I found. The container is cracked. I signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks forsmike for this one.
Easy find, however needs to be replaced with new container as it is significantly cracked
Headed out to Lake Coogee to complete the caches out here...what a perfect winters day for caching. Not many people out so no need to worry about being spotted.
TFTC forsmike Thanks for bringing us out for a nice walk around a lovely lake!
Nice easy find...2nd out of 19 finds and 1 DNF
Container is broken and log is wet, unfortunately didn't have a replacement container on me

The smell around here was quite pungent and we said a quick hello to some cyclists passing before getting down to searching.
I checked a couple of places near the path before looking and seeing I was still about 10m from the cache.
Joined SirFancy down the bank and checked a few spots before finally seeing the cache.

All the junior members of the team were in vacation care today so I arranged with SirFancy to head out for a caching trip.
The plan was to avoid the heat of the day and get going in the early morning, as is usually the way it took a bit longer to get started and a calm and cloudless day had the temperature rising quickly.
Luckily for us the walk along the paths of Lake Coogee has lots of tree cover that helped keep us relatively cool.
We had a great morning out collecting 15 finds and 0 DNF’s before heading home to enjoy the cricket.

Thanks forsmike for placing Sewer Pipe for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 08:52 on 6/1/22.
This is find number 3843 for me.

Headed out with Cirrus_WA today to get some caches around lake Coogee, we happily found 15 today without any DNF’s. Caching is always a good motivator for a long walk.
This is my 1255 find.
Thank you forsmike for placing and maintaining this cache.
Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!

Walked across the bridge and down into the scrub to find the cache. Thanks Forsmike.
Nice hide. The geokids are loving the bike around the lake and even seen a few cygnets. TFTC.
Found it. TFTC Forsmike. Came for a ride round the lake, thought I might do a few of these cache’s on the way. I guess the bridge looks better than the pipe. Quick find here.
We have travelled from Portland Victoria across to WA to see our daughter.
We are the victims of what we have now learned was unleaded petrol being added to the diesel tanks at Eucla. Many vehicles broke down across the Nullabor and we were one of the early ones.
As a result our car has been towed to Perth (from Cocklebiddy via Norseman and then Kalgoorlie)
We have now rescued our bikes from the car which they have decided to fix by - this will mean another 2 weeks in Perth - luckily our daughter has not expressed a desire for us to leave her house. Yet.
So we rode from Beeliar to do the C10 and Lake Coogee series and collected this one along the way. Nice little hide.
Thanks for showing us this part of the world forsmike

Find 11 of 30 with 2 DNFs on a gentle bike ride from North Coogee, out to Lake Coogee and back via Woodman Point. Enjoyed a snorkel around the Omeo wreck afterwards to cool off. Many thanks to Gumnut6160 and Cravo10 for providing most of our Good Friday entertainment with some quality caches all the way round.
All good here using Lachlan's log as a pointer.
TFTC forsmike!

Thanks forsmike, 1st WA cache in over 12 months. Finally here from Victoria visiting family. Nice to be back after all the lockdowns. Found with Jimmytherat.
TFTC forsmike. Nicely placed cache. Our first for the day and our first for over a year in WA, no thanks to Covid. Jimmytherat with Noelle04
I left the area next Lake Coogee just 10 minutes before the publishing of these caches last night, and didn't notice until I finally got home. So, following a relaxing morning, I took the bike out on the back of the car to tackle these caches. There was a nice variety of caches, which was greatly appreciated.
This one took some time to locate. After reading previous logs, I noted that many suggested the cache was 10m from GZ, so I expanded the search. Shortly after, I found the cache in good condition due East of GZ. Cheers forsmike!

Found while out exploring the area. We are visiting from Geraldton and enjoyed the sunny day.
Thanks

About 10m off with coordinates but found it! Once you know where it is funny to think you totally missed it before
I wasn’t quite sure where I was meant to be looking at the gps was jumping but I turned around and spotted it for 10m away.
Thanks for the hide
