Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Miss-Placed, 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 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.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it 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.
* 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 which 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 Miss-Placed and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[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 by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume 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, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Unfortunately I was unable to locate this cache today. I will add it to my list and hopefully return soon to claim the prize.
Will join the list of recent DNF’s checked all the likely areas but nothing eventuated today.

Unfortunately I did not find it today, I’ll be sure to visit again for another attempt.
Thank you Miss-Placed for the challenge.

G’day Miss-Placed, unfortunately I wasn’t able to find your cache today (Saturday 9/4/2022). Cheers for the hunt anyway!
Two metres out from where it originally said it was. Great camp tho and focus on terrain
Today in Geraldton we used to visit the Alexander Series. We were able to find most caches well. Unfortunately we couldn't find a few and some were quite tricky or well camouflaged. Thank you for the cans.
Hi there Miss-Placed. While out on the road today we found this cache after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to Miss-Placed for this cache - our find 7910
We are on our way home from a wonderful few days spent exploring the Goldfields but there is still time to find a few more caches around Geraldton. TFTC Miss-Placed
Today our tour - which began in Perth, WA , and led us thru Western, Northern and Southern Australia back to Perth, was from simply cruising around in Geraldton
.
On the way we came to some interesting locations. Here we searched, found and logged this Tradi-Cache.
Weather was good in the morning and it should even get better during the day.
Thanks to 'Miss-Placed' for showing us this location, for the fun we had with 'Alexander Series #9' and the smiley. The search here and today didn't take too much time, fortunately.
Greetings from Germany and we hope to see you soon in the forest.

Picked up the cache first then put it back and searched for another 15 mins until we realised that we picked it up thanks to the great camouflage of it. Did this one with Delnmax. TFTC and very clever. NOTE: Broken Glass Nearby
Found it. TFTC Miss-Placed. Log was so wet that it was dripping. I dried it as best as I could. Hope it survives. Nice hide
Watch out for glass. Good cache. In good condition.
Everything is not what it seems

This one I like, right height, good camouflage, but the plastic cover bag
must have been specially imported!

Well someone’s been having a party out here! Smashed passion pop bottles and the only plastic bag I found had crystal meth! Think I’ll give this site a miss
Up in Geraldton for IGD and to clean up some more of the map, this little series some of the first of the ranks, a great camo, thanks for the parks and grabs and TFTC
Nice sneaky hide all is good with the cache on a road trip from Tassie TFTC giving
We were lucky to make a quick find here.
In Geraldton for a couple of days of geocaching.

We arrived in Geraldton this morning and set up at the Batavia Coast Caravan Park. We had noted this series a few days ago and decided it would be great to do on our bikes. As it was such a lovely day we thought we might as well do it straight away. We got to number 20 when Mrs SKI’s bike let her down so she continued and found the last 2 while Mr SKI ride back to the caravan to get the car so we could transport the bike and the flat tyre home.
Out of the 22 caches in the Alexander series we found 21, only missing out on number 19. We had 2 goes on number 12 before finally locating it, finding number 13 and then backtracking as we hate to miss out!
We loved the variety of different hides, although we were messed around a few times when we thought we had a pattern worked out only to be proven wrong! We are still grumpy about number 19, but as we are here for a week we’ll probably go back for another shot!
Sorry about the generic log, we forgot the iPad we use to log as we go. We really appreciated the ride (except for the flat tyre) and the opportunity to grab a series of caches on our way. We also appreciated the variety in the caches and a few in particular that were clever and showed ingenuity.

Replaced log inside a new plastic ziplick bag. No idea where the original ziplock bag went! Happy Hunting
Beware of the broken glass when you approach this one. We certainly didn't need a puncture at this stage of the trail.
This was the first one where we had to use the tweezers to extract the log. It was sodden but we did manage to sign B2 on it.
Thanks.

I’ve been caching with friends for a while, so decided to start up my own account. This is a brilliant series, I have loved every cache! Thanks for hiding it for me to find, and for taking the time to place a clever hide Miss-Placed. I did need to make a few PAF, but I got there in the end.
Found it finally after a while. Really good hiding spot. Cool one. Thanks for the cache.
Phew thought we were going to miss this one, our gps was about 6 mtrs out here but we found it! Very sneaky! TFTC
We headed north after Mickeydv’s runfest to try for this series. Sadly, some proved too tricky and we couldn’t be bothered searching so long for them. Thanks for creating a series off the main road.
Outnabout caching with Wollaston on a lovely day.
Clever find by Mrs Wollaston without a GPS.

Find #997, Found with Team Outnabout while on holidays. Looking like we will hit the 1000 mark today. TFTC.
Getting back into geocaching this morning (after a leisurely 2 year break!) prior to the remnants of Cyclone Joyce bringing rain.
Park and grab raid in the humidity. Number 9 of the Alexander Road series. Very very clever!! Great camouflage. Thanks for the hides MissPlaced.

Day 2 of our mini road trip and still in town doing some more caching. Today's plan tackle Alexander series then head to Northampton, Nabawa, and Nanson then back to Gero.
Have a few caches on my list so fingers crossed we can manage as many as possible
Turns out another warm day in town and I didn't pack my shorts
Started backwards on these ones since we came from town. A great series with a couple of DNFs due to being on time restraint for searching. Have to admit muggle is good at this
A super quick find here by me. Stood out like a sore thumb
TFTC
Great effort had been put into the series, well done

As we were almost into Geraldton, we decided to come in via a side road and pick up as many of this series as we could. Some we did not find in the time limit for each cache that we allowed ourselves, so we would just move on. Some had excellent camo and others were more simple. Thank you Miss-Placed for this great series, for the variety and the fun.
Den Ort besucht und den Cache schnell gefunden. Besten Dank fürs Verstecken und greetings from Switzerland.
On our way from Coral Bay to Geraldton, we decided to take some time to find some caches after the long trip.
These looked pretty good.
The Cache could be found after a short search.
Thank you for the nice series.

Uhah I've cottoned on to these sneaky type of caches. Noted the diff level and was on the look out for something out of the ordinary. Great cache, thanks
My sister is up from Mandurah so I took her out to see some of the sights. Thanks for all your effort hiding these I love the variety xxx
Lucky the better half remembered we needed a cache for the geo calender today or it would have been wait for another year. Late afternoon and off again into a cold sth wester. Luckily a quick find, sign the log and back to a warm house. TFTC Miss-Placed. Good to get out for a while.
Out with CAD on his birthday grabbing a few more caches before we leave this lovely town .... Thanks Miss-Placed 4 this series

Headed out early this morning with iluvtrekking with Nanson and surrounds as our destination. Of course there were other various locations to explore along the way and some great caches. After a big day we decided to do this series as we headed back towards Geraldton. Although we enjoyed the series, must say that there were very few 'free give aways' in the hides. Majority of the finds were well earned. Thanks Miss-Placed
After spending the day with richlink out in the countryside we decided to tackle this series on our last leg heading back into Geraldton. All in all this was not an easy series and we really had to earn our smilies. Thanks Miss-Placed
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....
22944 found
Another weather was very nice for me... anyway enjoyed search, found and signed. [^]
Excellent very good coordinate spot. I am real enjoyed your hide caches. [^][^]

On a road trip to Gero for the IGD event with Kyzabra, jinta29 and SVKR_WA. Lots of good hearted banter was flung too and fro over the weekend while picking up several dozen caches about the place.
I needed a cache up Northampton way to fill a spot on a challenge I'm working towards ([GC3TR3M](https://coord.info/GC3TR3M)) and managed to convince the others that it would be good idea to take trip a little further north. On the way back we met up with Barnzy12 and cravo10 for a total of twelve eyes at several caches.
We decided to see how many of these we could knock off before lunch and came up with a group name of PGC (Perth Geocaching Coalition, or something).
Barnzy12 had this hand before our car arrived, onwards to the next one.
Miss-Placed I found your cache at 12:09pm, this was the 23rd of 40 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3404. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

The IGD Geraldton trip is fast becoming a MUST ATTEND weekend and this was my second trip up. Joining forces with Jinta29, Granett and SVKR_WA, we bundled into the SanteFe and headed up.
After a big day yesterday, we hit the ground running with an early start again today.
A couple of early first to finds, followed by some tree climbing, then a trip up to Northhampton.
We caught up with Barnzy12 and Cravo10 to smash out the series
signed as PGC
Miss-Placed - Kyzabra found your cache Alexander Series #9 . This is my find #25 today.The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing and maintaining your cache.!

We teamed up with Barnzy and Cravo to start this series. The logs were signed as pgc (Perth Geocaching Coalition) . We only got to number 15 before heading off for the IGD event nearby. Thanks for the series.
The second day of our Geraldton IGD trip and we had a plan to grab a few oddball D/T rated caches around town and also a few caches north of Geraldton . Kyzabra, Granett, SVKR_WA and I had an early start today as we had a fair distance to cover. This one was on the list, thanks for the cache

TFTC! Today was day two of the "boys weekend" with me and Cravo heading up to Geraldton for IGD 2016, my third trip to this great part of our state and johns second. Think we will continue to do this every year? Especially with all of the new caches getting published around town!!
We picked up a number of new caches along the route and even some that we had missed on previous visits, being in a 4wd this year made it a lot easier to get to some of the hard to reach places that a 2wd would struggle to get to.
Started day two meeting up with Kyzabra, Jinta, Grannett, SVKR, M4YB, clan Wallace and others to grab some orange tree series caches. We grabbed two and missed two, with safety being a first
Priority, two of them were just simply too high up even with some pretty series ladders!!
We then headed out to Nanson, Nabawa and finally to Northampton to complete the Nabawa Bound caches and everything Inbetween whilst dodging cyclists on the "tour de Geraldton" as we dubbed it. Was some really nice country driving today, this is way I love about caching, getting out and seeing the state on remote country roads.
We headed into Northhampton and found our first cache at the window entrance to town, and were surprised not to see the motley crew of Kyzabra, Jinta, Grannett and SVKR as they were heading to Northampton from the orange tree series so I thought it only fitting to leave them a nice little note in the logbook. We grabbed a couple of other caches around town and were met up by the motley crew at one of them, before we basically joined forces to grab the caches between Northampton and Geraldton. With six sets of eyes the caches didn't really stand much of a chance, although we did have to PAF at one!!
We made our way back into town and grabbed a bunch of caches with the motley crew along the Alexander trail where we signed logs at team PGC, don't really know what it means but that's what we signed the first fifteen or so with until the motley crew decided they need lunch and went their own way and we continued to finish the series and met up with other cachers further down who were out enjoying the sunshine.
Grab a couple of other "must do" caches the chirp chirp cache (highly recommended), Roxy rotunda (previous multiple DNF), something fishy (think we've tried for about five times!!) which was great as we had no DNFs which is very good for Geraldton!!
After lunch we headed back to the room to get ready for the event, arriving slightly later than planned we were only there for a short time before caches were published!! Someone announced twenty four emails had come though and I loaded the map and started running north to the nearest cache, gaining some valuable meters on the competition
It was like a scene from the IKEA ad, with Cravo asking if he should get he car and me yelling back "GET THE CAR!!" So I legged it to the first cache and he got the car and picked me up, it was the first of about fifteen FTFs for the day, we
Completed all of the caches north of the event and then looped back around to grab the caches furthest north and then back toward the event. We had a couple of DNFS Which was disappointing.
We headed back to the event and had the pleasure of completing some of geraldtons finest caches, the shake rattle roll, emergency were awesome. We were one of the few teams that actually didn't need the CO to assist by bringing the key!! Definitely a favourite and probably easier doing it with a beer in hand by the foreshore!!
After finishing the event we had a quick drive out to grab the new plane caches, got 3/4 there and then headed down to the water to complete he whereigo cache (highly recommended) and the two traditionals on the walk. Can't wait for tomorrow's adventure.
Thanks to the local COs for their caches

Hi there Miss-Placed.
We found your cache **"Alexander Series #9"** at 10:54:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 14343.
Wow a series; that should help to raise our numbers a little bit.
Well we didn't find them all. Our impression was that the higher difficulty ones were easier to find.
, and the lower difficulty ones were not so easy, or even DNF's for us.
We saw that the CO has been out to check on a few, but even knowing that we weren't so lucky today. (A hint on the cache page certainly would have helped.)
On the whole though, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip today.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around two metres from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** If it was big enough we left a smiley badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Glad it's winter time to be scrambling around for this cache. No leg less lizards around! Hope! Nice camo Miss-placed. SL.
Was gonna do #8 first but there was a 4wd parked up there then thought no bugger it I'll go and do #9 first so hunting around the 4wd that I saw earlier had turned around and heading my way then it stopped down the road a bit and wasnt moving a bit odd I thought, yacking on the telephone while hunting and watching this odd behaving 4wd then who pulls up behind my car team pathfinder it wasn't their car I saw parked up the road so wonder who it was, right, know to find this cache then team pathfinder and I had a bit of a chat about another new cache by becknmonts that had been published just after we left from getting becknmonts other 2 from same area this morning and another observing planes one, I laughed and said yep that ones mine so we parted ways, they went back to find the one they couldnt find and I was off to #8 nice hide miss-placed
We thought we had finished our geocaching this morning but as we ate lunch we just happened to notice emails saying that new caches had been published while we had been out and about. We decided to give some a try and after a short discussion as to which way to go first it was decided we would continue this series plus try to find the one we left last visit.
Off we went and it wasn't long before we arrived at GZ - a short hunt later the cache was in hand but no FTF today as Gabby had already been there!
thanks Miss-Placed.
Ian & Sue - Team Pathfinder uses T.P. to sign smaller logs.

A fellow cacher and myself decided to turn around and do the FTF hunt, as we had just found number 5. As we pulled to a stop in the geo-blend-mobile, we were still shocked that we could not see the geo-Gabs-mobile. Well said the fellow cacher also known to the co, "no need to look where there are ***" (word removed from the log as to not eliminate hiding places for other teams). "Yep, but what if???" Hmm. Lucky this one was a quick find (can I say that just because I hate reading that when I can't find a cache?), great cammo miss placed! Thanks for the cache and the series, it's great fun!
