Princeton Estate near where the ducks live Stirling, Western Australia, Australia

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, rossinperth, 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 Required please.##
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance).

If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.

I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.

If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.

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

Has not been found for some time.
No CO maintenance
Coordinate wrong according to previous logs

Think it might be coveres in the ground growth, will be back to try again!

No luck today

Felt a little silly since I had found it but didn't realise I did and I had an instinct that it was in the area I thought before I even looked at the clue. Couldn't handwrite log book since didn't bring something to write with but glad I can log it on here. Very clever and it had me fooled for a few seconds (sort of ran round like a headless chook). Anyway, very nice and easy find once it was actually found lol. Thank you

Found quickly after referring to the clue.

Based on where the GPS on my phone originally sent me, I'd estimate that the coordinates are ~9m out from GZ.

Quick find, TFTC

Clue was spot on.

Maybe it’s more overgrown now. Having a clue as to what it looks like would help.

Tftc

Quick easy find TFTC

Nice quick find here. Needs more paper and maybe a bag though. Sorry I had none with me. TFTC,

Nice quick find here TFTC

Found it but needs a replacement logbook, I added a scrap of paper.
TFTC

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Such a pretty area around the corner from my house

Mr T was all over this one spying the cache as soon as he got to GZ.

Thanks rossinperth for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 2098 for me.

Day 315 of the adventures of the Phoenix Travellers. Out for a night walk with UMeHedgie. TFTC.

Cache fished out from some debris. (Helped that UMeHedgiE has found it previously and knew where to look)
Coordinates off by about 10m, try S031° 53.737 E115° 49.071

No luck today

Stumped; maybe the growth at the time has obscured it more than expected

Took longer than it should have. TFTC rossinperth

Headed out early with mommy Ooh Yeh for yet another caching run north of the river. Pretty good day with 30 finds and one FTF and unfortunately 4 DNFS so that means we will be back up this way in the near future for another look for them. TFTC!

This is find #2064 for the me and the geo - kids!

Headed out early with the geodaughter Redlipsandunicorns for another caching run north of the river. Pretty good day with 30 finds and one FTF and unfortunately 4 DNFS so that means i will be back up this way for another look for them. TFTC rossinperth

GpS wanted me to fight my way into the bushes. Then thought "where would I put it near?". Then a quick find

I used to live in the estate so it was nice to back. With the hint in mind I made a quick find. TFTC.

The clue worked a treat but we spotted the familiar style of cache before we had to resort to the clue.
Glad it was quick to find as its not far from houses.

With the long weekend looming we decided to head NOR for a days caching adventures. We left the deep south nice and early to ensure we were able to target a decent amount of caches. We had fun driving from cache to cache around here! Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there rossinperth, I was in this area today and found your cache Princeton Estate near where the ducks live GC6ZHV8. I added my name to the log book at 10:09 am on 26 January 2019. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

This cache find brings our total find count to 10315. Woohoo!!

It's been a long day! [|)] Spent around 10 hours out on the bike, grabbing caches. Took the train to Stirling and then went through Tuart Hill, Joondanna, Yokine, Dianella and Inglewood before 'running express' back to Perth Underground Station to jump back on the Mandurah Line home. Got a little bit sunburnt, and had limited success at stages throughout the day... However, I still managed to end the day with 29 finds and 7 DNFs - the majority of those being at missing caches.

Stopped in here for a quick find of a cache type I would find many times throughout the day. Cheers rossinperth!

Found it. TFTC rossinperth.

Great hide. Julie picked it up and didn't realize! Eve, Julie & Dylan.

Thanks for taking me here. Nice to be able to walk to a bunch of caches.

TFTC, nice reference

Thank you! Out for a cache or two. Happy to make the find here. Cache in good condition.

A quick one with The-Shredder today. TFTC

Quick find with Skyryser on a quiet day. Tftc The-Shredder

Out for some caching with the geo daughter, one half of TH/CS. Trying for a bunch today. First of its type for her

Nice day out with the GeoDad. Nice quick find, TFTC.

Definitely needed to poke around. Very sneaky

"Found it. Its very cool". Says BusterDan, my geokid sidekick on today's ride.

Quick park and grab this morning. SL TFTC

Find 7 of 9 on a bike ride in and around Stirling. There were also three DNFs along the way.

Mr. O. sprinted ahead to make the find here as Mrs. O. was on a roll and it was his turn.

TFTC rossinperth!

Lucky I know my movies , thanks

Tftc
Easy find once I wrestled the phone from Lonewolf and read the description
Lovely little area

Cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for a fun cache guys.

We headed NOR this afternoon to visit our daughter and son-in-law and managed to talk them into grabbing some caches with us.
The hint helped us make a fairly quick find.

TFTC rossinperth this is find # 3850 for us.

Nice quick find was had here. TFTC.

Got the hint straight away - must be a generational thing. TFTC rossinperth.

Didn't understand the hint, but happily recognised the container.

Out with B12, was a morning for completing tasks untill around 11am when we met in Osbourne park area and completed a couple of hours caching in the Burbs. TFTH TFTC

Been a while since Cravo10 and I have ventured out to cache the burbs of Perth, with us both having a rare free day between moving houses, building walls, setting up retic and general stuff around each other's houses we decided to have a couple of hours to cache around the city of Stirling.

We cleaned up a good number of RossInPerth hides, which was a welcome change as we've had some difficulty with his over the years.

There was a great variety of caches around today. Some big, some small, some camoed, a few nano (love them)

Ended up with thirty odd finds and a number of great pics from where we started in Stirling and where we ended up in Claremont.

Ended on a little sour note with Me copping a 200 dollar find for speeding a little bit in the back roads of Claremont, much to the my annoyance as I wasn't speeding when I went past them going the other way, just forgot they were there.

Thanks for a great day out to the local COs.

Perhaps the council has been busy cleaning up or maybe the storm winds have swept all the debris away, but it was a nice easy find here without any scrounging required. It was very serene to be here by the lake while the sun was rising. TFTC rossinperth

Best hint ever, need the eye of a tiger to spot it!

Found it while out on this sunny Friday afternoon with the better half.
Beautiful area, lots of birds around.
The hint helped to have an idea what to look for, but it was still a bit tricky with the layer of fallen leaves covering the ground. Got there in the end. TFTH

PS: we saw some decent size fish in the pond...

My last day to fill my calendar for "366 Found Days", so m4yb and me hit the road to grab a few close to home that we have not found as yet. Great to have a new cache hider in the area too.

Quick find by her, thanks for the hide and another smiley rossinperth.

The advantage of a drizzly early autumn day is that lovely parks like this one are empty today. I looked, then looked elsewhere, then returned to where I looked first, and made the find. TFTC rossinperth!

Quick find here this morning. Been past a few times but always been too busy. Nice and quiet this morning. TFTC

Another one that took a while to zero in on the correct area and spot the camoed cache.

Quick find, I have a hide simular to this one in midland. tftc

pug002 found it ,forgot to log but found on 29/1/17 whilst out with UMeHedgiE, tftc rossinperth

No maintenance needed
Still in play!

Another day for cache day... enjoyed wander - nice park area... [^]

Finally found it with help... Hint is good enough - why cant I see it.

Thanks rossinperth for organising the cache and hunt [^]

It have been clean up see photo,

Watch Listing.

Also checked this morning on my way to work as I guessed that the clean up was coming .

Cache was there of 7.10am.

Will check again

Second check at 11.04pm still there in original position.

Please contact CO before posting Needs Maintenance.

With the rain the cache is under water who would have thought

Not a very successful morning today, I only managed to find one this morning and this was thanks to the hint. Looks like I'll have to come back to this area.
TFTC rossinperth

Good hiding spot in a beautiful little park. I was after a quick find on this rainy day to keep my daily strike going, and this cache did the trick! Dropped by on my way home from work and luckily the rain was pretty light when I got there. Thank you for the hide rossinperth.

Beautiful day to be outdoors. Nice camo, TFTC!!

I hadn't anticipated stopping here but I was as wet as I could be and was riding right past so I stopped to log a quick find. I didn't have the updated coordinate but had read the new hint so was able to log a speedy find even thought most of the container was submerged by the heavy rains. Thanks for the hide rossinperth.

FlyingPigSquadron has landed! for a relatively quick find. TFTC&H rossinperth

Nice quick find here, thanks rossinperth.

TFTH lovely area and great breeze after the humidity of today

Quick find with the help of the subtle hint.

Clever cache and an excellent area for a cycle afterwards....thanks rossinperth

Joint STF @ 10.30am with SpiderJockey07. The revised coords still didn't help me much but then I spotted a hint. Cache in hand 10 seconds later! TFTC

Cool cache.

Coordinates changed from:
S 31° 53.742 E 115° 49.074

Coordinates changed to:
S 31° 53.735 E 115° 49.077

Distance from original: 45.3 feet or 13.8 meters.

Correct co ords

S 31° 53.735 E 115° 49.077

With my nearby find only taking a few minutes. I had a spare 20 minutes before I needed to be heading to work. Thankfully the time ran out just as searching became destruction. I tried sticks, trees and ground cover but didn't manage to locate your container. Another time I hope.

P.S. - I was nowhere near where the new hint suggests so hopefully it will be a smiley for me on my next attempt.

TFTC Rossinperth, thanks for updating the coordinates (which have not updated on the cache page yet). I only found out by reading the logs. This meant that it only took me about 2 mins and had the cache in hand and log signed with UMeHedgie as joint [FTF]

Think this needs either a more specific hint or a ramping up of the difficulty rating as there are numerous places to hide a micro here. Focused on the grating and trees nearby as it appears the bushes have already been looked at.

Add me to the list of DNFers... was working nearby today and so popped out at lunchtime to this one but no cache sighted. Admittedly I did not search too long due to the extreme heat and the need to stay relatively clean, but I suspect that even a longer time spent at DNF may have still proved fruitless given the list of DNFs from experienced hunters! I'll watch and wait. Thanks anyway.

Thank for your help Dezzabill TFTC

Published

Headed straight there and then found a fellow cacher searching as well. Was hoping to get another FTF but this was very elusive. UMeHedgie and i spent a good 10 minutes searching in the dark with phone and torch light. Guess will be back in daylight for a better search and no doubt be after someone else gets FTF. Thanks rossinperth

Got dark to quick, got there just before Dezzabills will come back in the daytime

Second look in the daylight, ☹ still no luck
