I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Toodls76, 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 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, Toodls76.
The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 30 days 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

Couldn’t find this one today, could possibly be missing.
Just as I was searching here I heard that the Australian women’s hockey team have been eliminated from the Olympic Games by India. Very sad.

I found this one back in 2019 with my family (teamlaroche) and am now logging it on my own account. TFTC
The area was very busy so we sat for awhile and chose our time well to retrieve and sign the log.
While at PP2's 'Fourteen Years of Wedded Bliss' event nearby a couple of us wandered over to see if we could grab this one. Luckily we had a previous finder with us who sort of remembered where it was.
Toodls76 I found your cache at 11:35am, this was the 13th of 14 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 6595. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Too many muggles last time I was here but deserted today so could I search in peace away from prying eyes. Nice little hide. Tftc Toodls76
Met up with mum for a bit of caching before I play hockey. This was the first one on our radar. Mums first one of this type. TFTC!!
Glad I started where I did, could have been here all day.
I came, I saw, I signed the log. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.
Cache is in good condition.

Found after our walk with the dog. Needs some new paper as there is no space left.
Thanks

With Boofmuka having youth on his side we had this in hand very quickly and Geotrakka navigating and myself driving.
Lil miss 6yo had no problems finding this one for us.
Don’t be fooled though. It was still a tricky find.

Found this one on a Sunday with a hockey game on. It’s pretty easy if everyone is in the grounds.
I was going to say that the log is full but noticed that people are filling out the end of the logs instead of going back to the start. Plenty of space in the middle where we signed. TFTC

Pleased to turn this one into a smiley. Found with Rainbow Scjaz, AKC124, geokid Z and geodog M. Tftc
Been down here a few times to have a look for this little guy but it was always muggle central but we down this way to grab a challenge cache across the road and the area was muggle free. So we jumped at the chance and after a brief search soon hand the prize in hand. Log signed and cache returned we headed off over the rugby field with the Geohounds in tow to hunt down another one. TFTC Toodls76
Out with axell33 and the geopups for a few caches and this is #1 today. An very familiar haunt for us as hockey parents in a past time. No muggles today as there have been in past attempts. Thanks for the cache Toodls76.
Nice stadium here, lucky it was nice and quiet here today, thanks for the cache.

First place I looked - what are the chances of that . Tftc and Happy New Year to you
Found at 4:35:00 PM
So I had some time this afternoon so I thought I would go for a wander and see if any of the July 2018 Mystical Creatures Souveniers would turn up.
I originally came via this cache as my very first for the day but there were muggles about playing other virtual reality games. So I came back now and after a short search made the find.
Thanks for the cache Toodls76, it was cache number 2623 for me and was number 12 in my run of 13 finds and 3 DNFs for today's geocaching effort.
Cheers

Good cache, came at 6:30pm and a few people were crawling around leaving what I imagine was practice. Yvetteoh made the sneaky find. TFTC!
Geokids said they couldn’t find it. I proved them otherwise! Muggles galore today!
Nice quick find.
Found during a pleasant morning spent caching in Rockingham
TFTC Toodls76 this is find # 4542 for us.

Enjoyed a lovely meal in Secret Harbour, after which we found a few caches on the way home. Fun finding caches in the dark, although not so dark in this area. Quick find, but not so quick to get the cache log out. Eventually retrieved and signed. TFTC
I was just about to give up after an extensive search when I found the little critter on the ground about 1mtr from the fence.
I have placed back where I guess it should be. If the CO wants to confirm, just flick me a message.
Toodls76, Kyzabra found your cache Olympic Games - Hockey, the cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

After picking up some other trads on the other side of the complex, we moved the car here with the intention of picking up a nearby puzzle cache - until I remembered we hadn't solved it yet (a couple of failed attempts in preparation for coming down for the WAGB weekend and it went on the back-burner). A bonus though was this Hockey hide which I seem to have overlooked when loading up the GPS. So after a rapid "DOH!" moment on the other cache we wandered over here instead. Lucky no game/s on and pretty quiet with muggles too - so we took our chance to get down and search. After a few minutes going back & forth I put my fingers on it...in a place where I had started searching! Glad to tick this one off TFTC
Off for the WAGB weekend and an early start with m4yb getting a few on the way south.
Out with the lovely PP2 team for a few more before the TM & TO get together tomorrow for the WAGB weekend
Thanks for the smiley Toodles76

Had a huge day off planned with Cravo10, so decided we should head down South of Mandurah to cleanup some new series of caches that have been published and clean up the caches on the journey between Mandurah and Bunbury so that we can have a caching trip to Bunbury soon that doesn't involve too many stops on the way down so that we can actually cache out Bunbury and Busselton in the coming months.
Our first stop was the John Tognela walk trail caches, which included one archived cache found in great condition, lovely walk and special thanks to webbly wa for replacing the first one that was clearly lost in the fires.
We then tried for the ponder this series by Jinta29, which was going to give us some huge amounts of months unloved, found 8 of the 9 in the series, with a DNF on number one which gives us 48 months of unloved.
We cleaned up the OOH YEHs heading south caches on the way down which were all nice quick finds with good co ords. I wonder how far this series will end up going? Hopefully all the way to Bunbury
We then headed to grab the new yalgorup five caches that were recently placed, all found in good order and were in such a lovely area that I'd love to explore more, hopefully you can place a few more caches in this series and we can come back and spend more time exploring the area.
We then continued back towards Mandurah caching up a storm grabbing everything along the way that we could, including trying for some archived caches that are long gone, so we weren't all that successful on that front. We found a good variety of caches today and was good to finally make another huge dent in the Mandurah caches so we won't need too many caching runs down here to keep the area clean
Thanks to the local COs for their hides and we can't wait to come back to the area, we had a great day. Thanks

After reading the notes to see that the CO had checked, thought I would give this one another shot. Looked in all the usual places.....no luck......bloody nano.
Read the hint, had a think and then, the cache presented itself. Signed the log and returned the nano.

Chwiliwr has been doing an audit of the GPS files before he loses them all together due to the GPS now working less and less every time we try to use it.
This is one of a set of caches that we had done but found that we never logged online.
From memory the cache was found without problems.
Log was signed and cache returned as found.

No luck here today after note from CO thought this would be in the bag however no where near spent 20 min searching with zeros niggles around
I tried to find this cache today, but the cache did not want to show itself, I will have to try again soon.
Took us a few visits to get this one every time we arrived there were 2000 muggles present.
Today we had the place to ourselves and were finally able to search.
Thank you for the cache Toodls76.
Cheers TLC
