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, Bristag, 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.

So sorry to see this one has been archived. I really did enjoy finding it.C'est la vie!!!

### 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 Bristag 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

Tried a few but no luck. Had to move onto the next ones. Guess it's too hard for me lol

Had a quick search but no luck

found a circular lock that opened but not sure if this was the actual cache

Very cute idea and had a search with Mr.9 after the footy but no luck today! We will be back

It was too difficult too med to find it out. Thats pitty when you come allway from Denmark

Thx

Hmmm, yep for the love of geocaching indeed! Not successful this time but I feel like I need a pazza set of eyes! Love this place just gonna have to come back with the maestro.

Couldnt find it!

DNF. Lots of muggles asking what we were doing. So whats wrong with dropping the difficult level, supposed to be a fair challenge not a frustrating one.

Was patient and systematic but sadly a big fail. The cache has outsmarted me.Love the area. Will be back one day to avenge.

After a mornings work nearby, I wandered this way back towards the city. Last time I was here I was with the muggle man who, after 20min, was eager to move on. With Noone to bother me this time, save for the odd passing muggle, I was able to take my time sifting through the options. A couple heralded closer inspection, and eventually I landed on the one I needed. A short time later the paperwork was in hand. Enjoyable find, thanks Bristag. FP added.

Logged with permission.Arrived and picked the right level. Had a look and soon spotted the hide. Tried all sorts of things to get it open including items from the hotel which I almost broke and reading past logs it appears I should not need such force.Nice hide.Fav ptTFTC

This was lots of fun! Thanks : )

I found this one on Wednesday 18 Oct 2023 at 4:08 pm and the weather is Clear Sky 24C 55% 8 m/s . Great fun cache and perfectly expresses my love for the game, nice one. The log is chockers here, im sorry i didnt have a replacement. This is find number 2,998 for me. A nice micro traditional cache I enjoyed finding as part of my adventuring in City Of Perth. Unless otherwise mentioned above, I found the coordinates to be accurate, the cache in good condition and the log dry and with plenty of room to sign. Thanks for placing this cache and for the fun of finding it Bristag.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Searched through the locks and one of them looked very suspicious, I just did not succeed to open it. Will have to write the owners.

Located after a short search and was able to retrieve and sign the log although it really needs replaced.A super cache. Greetings from Ireland. TFTC # 3686

#5800After enjoying a day trip out to Rottnest Island today, I decided to leave the geo-missus back at the hotel and again make my way to GZ, via the CAT bus, for another go. I did raid my wife's manicure set and brought some tools with me to assist. To hopefully ensure a find, I also contacted some previous finders who were kind enough to provide intel that confirmed my suspicions from yesterday. Ignoring the passing parade of muggles, I began working on one particular item. Using a pair of scissors, I discovered this part moved. Excited, I continued unscrewing. It was then a female voice from behind me asked what I was doing. I said I was looking for a geocache and she asked me what that was..... so I explained the activity. She was fascinated by the concept so I gave here one of my cards I carry to give to people who show interest. We chatted for a while and after she left, I was able to complete the retrieval and sign the damp log. It's so satisfying to claim a find on this one in such a great location. The area looks lovely with all the coloured lights. I can see why this one has so many FPs. Adding mine to your tally. Thanks for the geofun and adding to my global geocaching adventures.Cheers, Calypso62 FYI, a maintenance visit is in order to replace a rather damp and full log.

And so I arrived at GZ with high hopes of finding this one. Well, after 30min of searching, I had to give it away. I did find something that looked like what I was after but couldn't get into it. I read some previous logs that said they went back to their car for a tool. I don't have a car with me in Perth so I might just have to raid my wife's manicure set. I'm hoping I can get back for another go before it's time to travel on. Love the location.

Tricky one. Will have to come back another time and try again!

.

Looked through them all but no luck.

The heavens opened up just as we arrived at GZ. We were totally alone, not a soul to be seen. The cache was found after a systematic search, but not before we were soaking wet.
Thanks Bristag, a fave point from us.

The GeoBikes were still on the back of the car so this morning we decided to head to Burswood to visit Optus Stadium as there was no event on there today! Whilst making our plans and organising our picnic lunch geobuddies iluvtrekking messaged to see what we were up to.

The plan then hatched to meet up and cycle around the stadium. That task completed, lunch eaten then time to watch some crazy people climb and zip from the bridge!

Onwards to Elizabeth Quay where Mrs ILT and Mr F set about catching the ferry to south perth (3 times) good thing they were using their old farts cards Apparently the 3rd crossing was nice and relaxing!

Whilst they were boating Mr ILT and Mrs F set off in the GeoCruisers to tackle some unfound caches SOR before we rejoined our partners and said adieu.

We then headed to East Perth for another AdLab and 2 caches, mind you 1 cache took well over 30minutes and we thought it was going to be dark before we were on our way home. [B)]

A fun filled long day and managed to get 'home' just before sunset. Happy Easter!

TFTC Bristag

Two VIC geocachers, making our way to the Freo vs North clash at the impressive Optus Stadium, stopped by here to checkout why there was so many FAV's, well that was quickly answered...methodically worked our way to find the cache container, but sadly that was where the journey ended, no TOTT available to us at this time, well done Bristag on your clever cache hide, maybe we'll be back over in WA in the future to try again...

As per previous enable log

Thank you! Saw this was disabled but thought I'd give it a try anyway. And happy to report it's still in play. Took a systematic search to find the cache, and a trip back to the car for a tool to help get it open. Super happy when I got my hands on the log. Fav point from me.

Many thanks from me to ullyssia for such dedicated caching, It seems I no longer need to stop past here this time.
This cache certainly lives up to its difficulty rating, When disabling I had suspected it was still in play and accessible.
I realise people give up easily when there are lots of DNF's, DNF's are common with this type of cache, however it is extremely durable and not likely to go missing

Seems to be some trouble here? Will try to get there and check it out!!

May be time for CO to check on this cache after a long line of DNFs

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Five of us looked for 25 minutes with no success. We think we found the right thing but had no luck getting in.

10 minutes of looking like a weirdo, admitting defeat this time but will be back!

Virtually certain have found host (very sneaky and cool), but unsure of log extraction process, tried a few, without damaging host. Will msg CO to see if theyll mercifully give a hint! Cheers

Another blue face on my score card....only put them there if I have tried for a long time or multiple times...quoting MacArthur. I will be back!

Here with the geobf, twenty minutes to no avail. Will definitely be back!

Well we looked and looked. Tried to look for clues. I know it's got to be there, but how to get that log?

DNF. I think i know what it was camo'd as but searched to no avail.

Freaking awesome. Frustrating. But wonderful. TFTC will be giving a FP when I have one, but almost don't want to out of spite ️

We had a great day exploring this area which we hadn't visited for many years. 4 caches, 2 Lab caches, a virtual, lunch and coffee on a beautiful April day. A great day out.

Thanks for the cache Bristag - after about 20 minutes looking for what we thought it was a passing cacher who previously found it gave us a VERY big hint. (Thanks !!!) With a makeshift tool we soon had the log out and signed. A very clever cammo, well executed and deserving of a favourite point and the difficulty rating.

Cache was in good order.

Found after doing the Claisebrook Cove parkrun. A very crafty hide worthy of the difficulty. Favourite point given!

Out for a spot of night caching after an event 22.2.22. This is very cool. Thanks Bristag - youre a clever fella! Heres a fav

Out caching with Geotrakka after the event in Vic Park.

Thought I logged this one, but seems I missed it. A great hide here. Glad to turn a blue to a yellow after adding my name to the log! Cheers Bristag!

Nicely done. Thank you

I admit I needed help here. But a find is a find and a favorite is coming your way! Very cool hide here.

Just me with a few minutes to myself so this is what I do now.

Axe

Yay we got it! At first we were on the wrong level... Which is typical of our 25yrs of marriage also!

Brilliant geocache! Loved the idea. Took awhile to locate going up and down gz then having to avoid muggles every two minutes but it was so worth it. Glad we finally made the time to find this cache and what a great cache for our 5000th. Fp awarded.

Brilliant, just brilliant! Worth the patience here and worthy of a FP!

Didn’t find today

Heading towards East Perth and finding a few caches along the way.

After finishing the nearby AdLab, I met up with redruthguy and cmb212 and come to this one.

Excellent camo, great cache. Favourite point added.

Bristag, I found For the love of Geocaching today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

TFTC. Found with Redruthguy

With cmb212. Nice cache. My type.

Yay!!!!! After a most delicious lunch we came here and found it. Tftc

Catching up on a missing online log.Out and about with the Better Half. After finishing the new lab cache wandered over here to see if we could find this cache.Found the right lock straight away but didn't bring any tools with us.arnott.family turned up and we tried some different items we had with us but in the end my thumb nail did the trick.Log signed by all and returned as found. Today is our 42nd wedding anniversary so its love all around.Thanks Bristag for placing this cache for us to find.

I looked like I was desperately seeking love but got there in the end. Excellent cache.

Out and about with Chwiliwr. After finishing the new lab cache wandered over here to see if we could find this cache.

Found the right lock straight away but didn't bring any tools with us.
arnott.family turned up and we tried some different items we had with us but in the end Chwiliwr's thumb nail did the trick.

Log signed by all and returned as found. Today is our 42nd wedding anniversary so its love all around.

Thanks Bristag for placing this cache for us to find.

Arrived at GZ, and Chwilier and .tbh had already located the host. A short while later and the log was extracted from its hide hole. A great cache. Fav point here

DNF

Pretty sure I knew what I was looking for but. I luck

Hi Balayang,

Not sure this one needs to be disabled. Having visited the GZ and found the cache (contrary to the two previous logs), it appears to be in good working order. I just don't believe I had the correct tool to open it.

Cheers,
Lachy

Enabling cache.
I may have made a mistake with this one, as I now notice it's a D4, which is right up there on the difficulty scale.
It's not just a walk up and find it easily job.
Cheers all, thanks Lachy.

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have an Owner Check, and so it has been disabled to allow the CO to rectify the problem and prevent further inconvenience for our geocaching community.

The cache owner, Bristag, needs to :

* Investigate the situation and either restore the cache, or address any other issues, such as correcting the D/T rating if necessary.
* Re-enabling the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log if a Needs Maintenance attribute needs to be cleared.

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 Bristag.
[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 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 there, and in good condition, 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 you

Found the cache easily, but despite running back to the geomobike to find tools to extract the log, I had no such luck. Back the drawing board.

After a good breaky nearby we were pumped to try to find this cache. Sadly unsuccessful after 30mins of searching. Now getting ice cream to recover:)

Stopped off here for a nice dinner easy cache before a meeting. I should probably have read the info beforehand. I was unsuccessful, so came back afterwards. Still no luck. I’ll be back at a later stage though for sure.

TFTH Bristag

Very nice location in this lovely suburban area.
Beautiful gardens and views
Thanks CO

couldn’t find it. Will be back soon to try find the cache again.

.

Checked everything, no luck today

I found this ages ago and thought that I logged it. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! I loved everything about the cache and the hide itself. Pure genius.

I inspected every single one of the prime suspects, but saw no sign of a sneaky hide.

Sadly I leave defeated.

I did however get to meet a beautiful Finnish Lapphund who befriended my black Labrador during a strategic break from the hunt.

Nice spot so sneaky

No luck finding this one. Even our geo kid is stumped

I LOVE how you are so openly sneaky
I LOVE how you love Valentines day and actually organised a memento for the day.

I’ll be back
Searching for twenty minutes
But no luck

Thought we found, but no luck.. will try again !

Didn't find love here or a cache. Very sad on both counts

Well we thought we checked everything but no luck, so had to PAF for a hint. Back to checking AGAIN, and what would you know, we apparently did NOT check everything.

TFTC

At last!!!! We returned here for probably the 10th time and After resorting to PaF, we at last have this one. We knew from the first what we were looking for. What we didn't have was a detailed meticulous and thorough approach. We exhort all geocaching lovers to not to follow our example but to be systematic and look for the rather obvious clues. We, on the other hand, will hang our heads in shame and vow to be less slipshod and hasty in future. Well, for the next 5 minutes anyway.

TFTC

Knew what I was looking for and yet still could not find it, doh! I’ll be back

Ooh, I could tell that this would be hard when we got to GZ. No luck this time but I plan to come back.

I'm sure it's still here but second visit to this bridge and it's defeated me. I will be back for another look soon, it's always the bridge caches that I struggle with! But I do love a good cache

??

Second visit. Luckily team discovery was riding past and told me I was in the wrong spot. Would have missed it for sure. Tftc

Well well Bristag, the weather was just average this morning so after a ride for Spot and Hockey for Patch, we decided to venture up here again to try our luck. Nice work indeed. All's in great shape eagerly awaiting the next visitor. Certainly ticks all the boxes; location, accuracy and a great cache to boot. Add a FP to your well-deserved stash.

First attempt at trying to find but as a noob may need a slight hint

That was a hard one for many reasons, hope to try again soon

Very Busy on the bridge today, will try again when it is quieter

We looked and looked. We thought we knew what to look for but no luck today. We'll be back. Thanks

We that took a lot of searching in a very busy area. Very clever cache. Have replaced logook TFTC Bristag

A quorum of the Fott was here so we are retrospectively claiming the find. If that's an issue let us know.

Allied_OZ, SVKR_WA, and myself headed out today to try and bag a mixture of caches and types for Leap day before heading to the event at Point Walter.
A very cool hide here and a full log as well. Sorry I didn’t have a replacement on me.
Worthy of a fav.

Many thanks to Bristag for placing and maintaining For the love of Geocaching. We found it, signed it, and put it back as found. We found this one at 8:56 am on Saturday and this is my find 8424.

After watching this one for over a year, finally made it to this one. Love the concept and its well worth a fave.

With Leap Day somewhat of a big deal on the caching calendar, Kyzabra, AlliedOz and I made a plan to meet up and grab as many different cache types as we could prior to the event at Pr Walter.

We met up at Bicton and headed out for a morning of funds, fun and frivolity.

Bristag SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache For the love of Geocaching today at 08:56:43 29 Feb 2020. This brings my find count to 4014

Bristag - Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. We love travelling the state and visiting some places that we would only visit due to this game.

Out with SVKR_WA and Kyzabra for some leap day finds.

Nice job, fav point 4 sure

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Bristag you help make this game what it is.


AlliedOz

Holy moly, this took an age for us to find. Perseverance and a PAF certainly helped. Great cache and fave point from us!

An early morning start had us heading up to the CBD to begin today’s caching adventures. We had fun cruising around with very few muggles about to disturb us. This cache was one we were able to claim as a smiley today. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Bristag, I was in this area today and found your cache For the love of Geocaching GC70FHT. I added my name to the log book at 9:46 am on 1 February 2020. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

A fantastic cache. Took a methodical approach to find the cache and extract the log. A favourite. Thanks Bristag

Very clever!
