I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, sqwash, requesting additional time, and it appears abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache.

###Cache Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO.

The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 4 weeks to see if either

- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken

**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Thank you

Spent a while looking for this one. Judging by the previous dnf posts, maybe it's been mugged?
 
06-Jan-21
Is this one still here? There's been a few dnf posts and I definitely couldn't find it either. Thanks

Spent a good 15 minutes trying to find it again. I find it over a year ago but I didn't have a writing implement so didn't log it then.
 
23-Oct-19
Had been muggled. Lying in the open in pieces. Replaced. Owner will relocate to correct hide. Good one tftc.

It was the second time for us in Australia. We stayed in this fascinating country from 11/08/-30/08/2019.
We started our travels in Perth and went in the following 20 days south to Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River, Pemberton, Denmark, Albany, Hopetoun and Esperance. We continued north to Kalgoorlie, further to the West to Hyden, Northam, Muchea and Cervantes. From Cervantes we drove back to Perth with a final stop at Rottnest Island.
Besides the sightseeing spots we visited and looked for different cache types as
Traditionals, Multis, WherIGos, Letterboxes, Mysteries, Earthcaches and Virtuals. It’s all in the mix.
We could lern a lot about the hide and seek in Western Australia. Maybe we can use the gained knowledge in Germany to hide some caches the way you do in Australia.
We enjoyed these amazing 3 weeks in Down Under as we could do in 2010 and we hope to come to Australia again as soon as possible.

Sorry, the logs are not unique for each cache but we had fun looking for every single one.

Streak week brings me back to pre-work geocaching. It was also a great excuse to avenge this DNF. Super quick find here this morning, and still got to work early! TFTC Smile
 
31-Jul-19
All good here and glad to turn a previous dnf to a smile..cache and log in good condition tftc
 
02-Jul-19
Unfortunately I was unable to locate this cache today. I will add it to my list and hopefully return soon to claim the prize.

Only searched for a few minutes here because of the multitude of future football stars practicing nearby.
 
07-Jun-19
Nice one in our local park can’t believe we haven’t found it before now
 
03-Jun-19
Love it tftc
 
03-Jun-19
After sniffing about for a bit we ratted it out. Thanks for the find.
 
28-May-19
Checked on this and still there. Although the odd ant, it's not infested so all good.
 
05-Apr-19
Find 14 of 22 with 3 DNFs on a pleasant, sunny bike ride south of the river.

After multiple visits it's good to get this one found.

Many thanks for the cache, sqwash

Quick find TFTH

Tftc. Ants have made a home for themselves. Message sent to co.
 
03-Feb-19
Find #283 9f 365 streak. With a big day ahead and the unlikely ability to cache I knew I had to be sneaky to keep my streak alive.
A few minutes past midnight and I headed off.
Streak alive and a blue face removed from my map. Quick find. TFTC.
 
02-Feb-19
Pretty quick find here by geoson. Cache is alive and well. Wink Thank you.
 
31-Jan-19
Well, I recently discovered a challenge cache nearby to home for 300 finds in a month... and I was at about 228 when I realised (3 days from month end), so after making 40 finds yesterday, I intended to get the last 32 today, the final day of the month. Only one small issue however, I forgot I had work all day. Surprised Not to be deterred, I went out on an intensive night caching run and although it took the better part of 4 hours, about as the clock hit midnight, I logged the final cache. Phew! [xx(]

Cheers for replacing this one. Was a very neat hide, which I had a laugh over. Cheers sqwash! Big Grin
 
30-Jan-19
Quick find here, like the camo TFTC

Cache replaced with a different Camo container. Please hide "him" back well
 
13-Jan-19
temporarily disabled whilst i check on it
 
30-Dec-18
We read all the DNF's on this one & I still convinced Jase to stop & have a look... 30 minutes later we were still stumped Sad

We left cacheless & will put on watch list to see if anybody else can find it [?]

TFTH sqwash Smile
 
03-Dec-18
Thought we'd give this one a go despite the recent DNF's, as CO had done a recent-ish check indicating it's still there. Met up with ChrisRG and began the search. We looked low, low and low again around a few likely objects. Then just for something different we tried a little higher. Then back to low. Still no luck and with time running out before needing to start work and still needing a find we abandoned search and headed for another nearby cache. Will come back another day to get that smiley!
 
09-Sep-18
Another DNF from Mrs O. Here to watch the geodaughters semi final soccer match. Spent warm up time looking, poking, prodding, reading logs and still no smilie.
 
28-Aug-18
No luck here ;-( We will be back! Tfth.
 
28-Aug-18
Searched here for a fair time with no luck. Found a few likely hiding spots but alas no cache. TFTH, we will be back.
 
26-Aug-18
Not for me but will return..great day to be out amongst the sun
 
06-Aug-18
Spent plenty of time her but was beaten by the hide. Will be back.
 
04-Aug-18
Forgot to post that i checked this a few weeks back after the DNFs and it's still there. Look low.
 
03-Aug-18
Doing a bit of late night caching in the pouring rain. Unfortunately despite a fair search, I was starting to get sopping wet and decided to call it a night.
 
29-Jul-18
I reccon after replacement it has been muggled. I even searched every tree and ground around within a 100 m distance of ground 0.
 
29-Jul-18
Did not find.
 
01-Jul-18
Dnf. Had good search. Definitely needs CO to check it.
 
15-Jun-18
Struggled here - not even any broken bits to be seen. Thanks for the hide.

06-Jan-18
I think this cache was supposed to have another part. Found it on the ground at base of tree. Have put it back in hiding place. TFTC
 
03-Dec-17
I couldnt find this geocache is it still there???
 
28-Aug-17
I hadn't visited Willetton in a couple of years so it was good to be back here today, even if though it was very early in the morning and very dark. I am quite surprised at how quickly I discovered this, and I think it was the hint that kept me on track and stopped me being distracted from more otherwise likely hiding spots. It was nice to have a little walk around the park too. TFTC sqwash
 
20-Aug-17
Quick find here out with the geodog...tftc
 
08-Jul-17
After a long time still no cache. Has it been removed?
 
08-Jul-17
A quick find here for our team. Guess our opponents weren't that lucky! TFTC.
 
20-May-17
Had us looking elsewhere for a short while. Finally, after Spot thowing in the towel, Patch makes the find. A nicely constructed piece of work squash, thanks for all of your efforts putting this one together. New log and cache in great condition. Please be careful when replacing it folks.
 
03-Feb-17
Hadnt been able to get to this due to work, so I asked Fratra to make a quick stop passed and replace the Log.

Thanks again Fratra
 
28-Jan-17
Not one iota of space left on the log

Out caching with WebblyWA again. First she had a target of 300 in January, tick done. Next was for find # 2000, tick accomplished. Now she has upped the stakes to 500 for the month, hopefully it will be ticked off today.
Just about managed to squeeze our names into a random spot on a completely full log. TFTC
 
28-Jan-17
Out collecting some smileys around Willetton clever camo here but doesn't quite stick together. Log is completely full and has been for awhile really struggled to squeeze our names in here but we did - just.
TFTC sqwash

Love container. Thanks

Log book is full
 
27-Oct-16
Had checked the hint, so a quick find was made once at the correct object. Nice piece of camo. TFTC sqwash.
 
04-Oct-16
Thought I'd cycle back for another attempt. Looks like GPS had sent me to wrong tree previously, doh!!
 
02-Oct-16
while half of the team went to the Perth glory fun day the other half was attending a birthday party.
The idea was to find some caches on the way to the party and some on the way home.
This one was found relatively quick on the way home Thanks for the cache sqwash
 
28-Sep-16
A good cache and easy find. TFTC
 
25-Sep-16
Found some pieces of wood next to good potential hiding spot, but nothing resembling cache container.
 
24-Sep-16
Enjoying my premium version. Great find. Found all three caches in this Park with my kids. Has a nice little playground as well. Thanks.
 
20-Aug-16
My GZ was closer to a different object to where I found the cache which had the ends exposed. I signed the log and put the cache back correctly, the ends are not visible now.

Thanks sqwash for the cache.
 
01-Aug-16
Found it once I was looking in the right spot. Nice hide! TFTC
 
30-Jul-16
I must be getting better at this, only took me 10 minutes to find the hide. Well done.
 
22-Jul-16

Cache needs urgent attention. Found in two pieces. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
 
25-Jun-16
I can see how this usually is a well crafted cache. Unfortunately I found it in two pieces. I have posted a note from the app advising of how the cache was found. Thanks for the effort of making such an inventive cache.
 
12-Jun-16
Needed to grab a cache for the day to keep my small but increasing streak alive. Nice camo here. Didn't take too long to spot.

Tftc
 
06-Jun-16
Gps directed me to a retic outlet in the lawn but after closer inspection I realised it wasn't the camo. Extended the search and then spotted the likely object. Had trouble removing the log sheet but fortunately I had tweezers on me to aid in recording my visit. Thanks sqwash.
 
04-Jun-16
OkayK found it for the team. Clever cache. Didn't log because it the log wouldn't budge; scared of tearing it.
 
04-Jun-16
Not sure it was were it should be

Many apologies for the late log and also the copy paste, but life has been too hectic lately and has gotten in the way of my caching and my logging. But three of us had a very enjoyable day's outing in these parts, finding a very nice assortment of cache containers.
Many thanks for the cache squash.
 
28-Mar-16
Didn't have too much trouble rounding up a couple of conspirators for an attack on this area. Thanks for the time and effort that goes into each and every one of your hides. Great day out in the company of urch and Jackylegs44, so most logs were signed and JUM or MUJ, depending on who had the signing duties. Thanks for the smiley sqwash
 
28-Mar-16
Out with Urch and Mistraluna for a days caching, Thank you for taking the time to hide caches for us to find.tftc sl tnln.
