Hi
This cache appears to have some problems. It is the cache owner's responsibility to read the logs and check the cache to sort out any problems with it and give an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find.
**The cache is being Disabled to give the Cache Owner an opportunity to investigate and fix the apparent issues.**
Once the cache is operational again, the CO should write an *Owner Maintenance* log advising that the promlems have been fixed, and to remove the *Needs maintenance* attribute (red cross) if that is showing on the cache page. The CO can then write an Enable log to return the cache to play.
If the cache cannot be fixed it should be archived.
**If there is no response to this log after 30 days the cache will be Archived.**
The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Had a decent search here but this one was too good for us!!!
And all the ducks were asleep on the grass.
Thanks, even though we didn't get it it was a nice spot to visit.

A lot of broken branches here from cachers searching. Suggest cache owner check cache is still here.
After 'The Lions Park' I thought I was onto RARSI's methods.
Fooled me... The ducks are friendly though.
TFTC - I'm gonna have another go later.

Unfortunately only sighted small white Rock, twig and berries at what we believe is gz
Yay. Third time lucky. Very tiny! Couldn't leave esperance without getting this one. TFTC
Not what it used to be. Had to make slight changes to cache and location as the last one has been muggled

Have been walking past it for years and didn’t know it was there. A little off from where my gps said but easier to access than some of the pics lead to believe.
Very first Cache!!! After looking for at least 10 minutes, we finally spotted it! ''Twas good fun. Now to find our next one!
Intrepid Boxing Day Adventurers, had no help from ducks! Southern Cross helpful, looking up to the stars enabled us to find our first cache
Had fun on Boxing Day finding our first Cache lots of happy screams once we found it.
Out and about exploring Esperance with CAD ... We are meandering our way back home to Darwin after a year caching around Australia... Lovely spot and all quiet here today so we got to have a good look... Found after a short search T4TC:)
Went pretty close to the water to grab this one as I could see it from some distance. I passed it to Ladybug to sign and she handed it back to me. When I exited GZ I took a leap to dodge some ants and landed almost on a muggle schoolgirl who had appeared from nowhere. Not sure who got the bigger fright! Anyway I am sure she did not suspect what I was doing there and she made a bee-line to home while I pretended to admire the ducks!! Thanks RARSI for another nice little cache. 
Did not give up! Found it and we were surprised! Arggghhhh! Great spot! Very challenging! Awesome job!
Searched around a consistent indicated GZ, but no luck. Admitted defeat after searching for several minutes. Our thanks anyway to RARSI.
Went on a trip from Perth to Kalgoorlie down to Esperance and then back to Perth. Spent 6 days finding, hiding and even maintaining caches along the way.
The majority of caches were found easily and in good condition even some archived ones.
Took a few travel bugs and placed along the way.
TFTH TFTC.

TFTC! Found during a 6-Day trip from Perth to Kalgoorlie, Esperance and back to Perth via many back roads and country towns. We found a huge number of caches, clocking up nearly 3000km for the entire trip.
The highlights of the trip have been picking up a bunch of old caches in Kalgoorlie and the surrounding towns, placed by some of Western Australia's first geocachers.
We ventured as far north as Leonora in search of our prizes even visiting a large number of ghost towns along the golden outback trail, some of the most amazing places I've seen in my life, see the pics if you want to know more.
During our trips out from Kal we think we visited nearly every gravesite or headstone in the region with the number of caches in and around cemeteries!
We completed a large amount of cache maintenance around the Kal area, with a large number of the older caches suffering with cracked lids, smashed containers, wet logs and alike. We planned to help about a dozen caches with new containers and ran out after the first couple of days. So if you're in the area please help out as best you can.
We also picked up a number of caches in Esperance placed by some of the newest cachers in the state, who seem to have so much passion and energy.
We ventured out to Cape Le Grande and picked up a few of the caches there, not quite being game enough to grab the views of hellfire cache but we grabbed all of the others
we paid for our walking that night!
We even had time to place a couple of caches in my Country Cache series so please look out for them on your travels. Thanks to the locals who have kindly agreed to maintain them.
Thanks to all of the Cache owners for placing the caches that we found, hopefully you can place a few more for our next trip
Thanks
Only scared of not singing it!!

Nice hide but was looking for something scary by previous comments only to be dissapointed.GZ was 7 metres away by our phone TFTC
Our first ever find! Was very exciting and caused a few squeals and lots of laughs!
I certainly shrieked when I finally found it! And potentially not with delight! What an excellent cache! TFTC!
Awesome one. Found with the shipps! Heart may have stopped beating for a moment.
After hunting high and low for fear of fallen branches. Woo hoo my 6th cache was found
Another find today with Hells_Bells82 that was a sneaky one, Helen has found every cache so far today! She's great at this, and totally addicted now 
I ducked into this lovely green bit of suburban parkland this morning.
A flock of ducks, and a couple of geese, following me around the lake [:o]
Oh this is not good for me Anatidaephobia [:o]
With all those ducks watching me, I couldn't concentrate at GZ !! [:o]
Which is why I probably failed to find the cache after a good 15 minutes of searching
I wandered off to escape the quacking and find a nearby cache where I would probably be away from the ducks
After finding the other cache I snuck back to GZ for another go at finding the cache !!
No amount of sneaking could fool the ducks !! [:o]
A lone, little pied cormorant that I spooked, alerted the ducks that a possible source of bread was sneaking around in the lake side bushes !!
The flotilla set sail for my location [:o]
As I crawled deeper into the shrubberies to escape the avian stares, I stood up and a cache hit me in the face [:o]
Gotcha
TFTC !! Quack !!
PS: Remember ... "somehow, somewhere ... there is *always* a duck watching you !!" [:o]

Found it great cache definitely have to get into nature for this one. Shame that people have broken the tree on the other side hopefully not looking for the cache. Needed to check other logs gps out
In Esperance for work and caching in my spare time this is one I found along the way. Found the rascal nice camo SL TFTC RARSI
Found it on a beautiful day, the friendly ducks were not happy when they realised that I had turned up without food for them. TFTC, it is nice to see one that is a bit different.
GPS was out on this on only help I could offer is if you're on the side of the thicket with the damaged tree you're on the wrong side thanks for the brilliant cache =)
Found after a few attempts, it seems somehow my gps is way off! Thanks for the cool cache
Could not find this one. It looks like someone have been in there and distort the area. Lots of broken branches in the area. Cache own might want to have a look
