The situation here has been reviewed again.Sufficient time has elapsed since the issues were highlighted, and nothing has been done to restore it. Circumstances that prevent timely maintenance can arise, and ample opportunity for the Cache Owner to get in touch to request a time extension has been provided.No request has been received from the Cache Owner, Miss-Placed, for further time to restore the cache.** It appears to have been abandoned by the Owner and, therefore, will be Archived.****Caches lost in this manner will not be Unarchived.**This area is now available for other interested players to utilise for cache placement if viable locations can be found.

### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.It certainly needs to be checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating, or the posted coordinates.* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute that is present. Otherwise :* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information. **Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**. Alternatively:* Archive the cache and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by %CO% and to take it off the playing board to prevent further inconvenience to our Geocaching Community.[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been taken by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will conclude that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition and waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.Thank youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer

Maintaining CO doesnt appear active anymore.

All we found here was that the residents access the road let their dog out front to back threateningly at us. I thought it was going to bite me. As we left. He called the dog back in. Scary. Cache definitely not there

Cache is possibly missing. At the cache site with someone who has confirmed it is not where they last found it.

Found a few months ago but couldn’t reach it. Back today with a ladder and it’s disappeared. Might need to be replaced.

I found it

Caching in the Greater Geraldton area today. Our intention for the day was to attack some power trails and do map cleanup around town.

Spotted from below. I did the climb up and chucked the cache down for signing. Cheers Miss-Placed!

Day 3 of the road trip with the boys C10,B12,L1.77 - lots of laughs and perhaps a little therapy will be needed after this trip. But one thing is for sure - I am determined to get a few more yellows on the map on my final full day here in Gero. Many thanks to the COs for the mix of caches. Sorry for the genetic log
Scary glad I had Lachy with me for this one.

Found with Stacey and log book signed thanks to Stacey’s expert climbing skills

Easily spotted and with a bit of thinking worked out how to make the climb, glad I had a friend to throw the log to so she could sign it and I could return to its place

Big Mick had to employ a certain long forgotten skill set in order for us to sign this one but we did it!!!

Spotted, but I'm doing the honorable thing and not logging the find.

This one was a bit outside of what I was willing to risk in order to sign the log sheet.

Easy find but not an easy retrieve

Awesome find

pug002 found it 20/10/20 we saw, and yes a 73 year old geo hubby climbed and got it TFTC Miss-Placed

We could see but definitely couldn’t retrieve it, thanks though

Outnabout with Wollaston on a Leap Day. Thank goodness as this activity is beyond me.

Grabbed while traveling our wonderful country. Found with Team Outnabout. Didn’t come prepared (in thongs) , but we still managed to retrieve the goods. TFTC becknmonts.

Awesome little spot, didn't have a pen to log but was a fun find!

Glad Ian was with me to do the balancing trick while finding this one. Thanks

Lucky we brought a mate with us! TFTC

??

Woohoo

I was at full stretch and got terribly scratched but my name is on the log. Thanks for the hide.

Continuing our cache hunt north of Jurien on our way to the Murchison for Easter, happy to say we walked away with a smiley today, both on our faces and our profile, it appears a branch has been removed so getting to the cache is a little harder than previously, a favourite point coming your way TFTC

Day 3 of the Geraldton trip for the IGD event held up there.

Again we started of a little late this time as I kept sleeping through my alarm. First for everything and a sign of the intense workload and Geocaching I have managed to fit into these last 2 weeks, over 600 caches, 450+ FTF, 2 events, 1600km to get all of this as well as working 2 50hr weeks.

Today's events had us clear a few more Urban caches as well as a great walk along the Chapman river, I really needed to wear shorts and gumboots as by the end of it the trainers and jeans I was wearing were saturated.

We then left for Perth around lunch and made a few finds on the way home.
It was a great weekend up in Geraldton with the deliberation in the car in the way home summing up the trip as we are suckers for punishment.

Each visit we get our worst DNF % on caches attempted, then clear previous DNF's from other years and end up saying by the end of it when are we coming back!

Again will see some of you at WA goes Big in Rockingham and possibly the rest of you at IGD in Gero next year!

Adding favourite point for this cache. Really enjoyed this series

The non registered tree climber did this cache!

Love this series tftc

Stopped at this cache whilst on a roadtrip with Eliktrisiti. We didn't find as many caches in the Geraldton area as we had hoped for, and after being home for a week or so, I have decided that the motto I would adopt for these logs would be this: It isn't the destination that is important, it is the journey!

In a nutshell, we had fun and that is what it is all about. Great company, lots of interesting locations, good variety of caches, even got to meet one of the local geocachers while out and about, and of course, we came home with a whole swag of smileys.

This cache was found on the second day. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache beckmonts and for showing us around the Greenough/Geraldton area.

Another find to complete our calendar.
I spotted the cache and Mark climbed to get it.

Found it and got to bring out my inner spider monkey

We are heading out of Geraldton today but couldn't resist grabbing a few more caches before we hit the highway south. After a great breakfast at Culinary HQ with iluvtrekking we all headed to grab a few more caches. Thanks becknmonts

The last day in Geraldon and just time for a last few cache find. Thanks becknmonts, think this was the easyiest of the Orange Tree Series that we tackled on our short visit to Gero.

Good one. This was first find (i know im not a kid) but close to home and still fun to find.

Headed up to Geraldton for 4 days to try and find as many caches as we could. Its been 6 months since we were last there and there has been so many new caches come out that we will need another trip there to find them all. We ended up finding 215 and about a dozen DNFS. We picked a few up on the way and did a detour on the way home to Mullewa and i must say the wildflowers are beautiful at the moment. We found a great variety of caches including a couple of wherigo,s, lots of field puzzles, multi,s and the highlight for the hubby was doing the chirp cache. I would like to say all caches were found quickly but that definately wasnt the case lol.... There was some very tricky and sneaky hides that took quite a while to find with a few we went back a couple of times to till we found them. We managed to find a few that we previously had DNFS on and it was was great finding a lot of creative cache containers especially some of the field puzzle ones. Thanks to everyone for the caches and hope to find a lot more on our next trip to geraldton....

Found him!

Definately a good one to amuse the kids! The sun is out and it's a great afternoon for a cache or two. We found the cache and even managed to reach it to sign the log. GeoT was happiest of all as she discover that she can just reach the flying fox on the tippy-toes! TFTC becknmonts! We love a challenge, and a smile on the kids faces too!

Buggar the kids....this just seemed like too much fun for Mum!! Once spied I called on my inner monkey and up up and away.... TFTC

Uh !! Oh !!
One of the dreaded OT series of caches
Yet the galaxy of terrain and difficulty stars seemed to be missing from this ones cache notes ?? [:o]

Maybe I had a chance at finding it ??

A bit of neck strain,
and I could actually see the bugger !!
Up I went !!

Well that wasn't too hard for an olde fella [^]

TFTC.
