I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore the cache or communication from the cache owner rossinperth requesting additional time, within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note, and it appears that the cache has been abandoned.

###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.
[Please 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 the progress of restoration efforts.
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 there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Thank you

It would be a good idea if the CO could check on this one.

Another DNF tonight. 'X' marks the spot is new according to UMeHedgiE who has previously found this one.

New equipment in situ. Nothing at GZ now.

Empty park. GPS jumping. No smiley

A quiet GZ meant a good search was able to occur. I had to use the 'feely' method to finally grab it. TFTC.

Not my fave.but the park was all mine this Sunday morn. Tfth rossinperth

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 Just off the Estate Micro GC70QBY. I added my name to the log book at 10:02 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 10314. Woohoo!!

I searched around & around the object of interest but I could not spot this one

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.

This was a quick find here. A bit of a weird park with the olive trees. Cheers rossinperth!

Cache guardians are to active today. I will have to return in a few weeks

Happily, no muggles at the playground and the maggies behaved themselves. TFTC rossinperth.

Final find for the morning. Another good cache that required a bit of effort to get to. Thanks again rossinperth.

Found it during a walk through the area. TFTC.

Out and about with teamBastholm to grab a few more smilies TFTC

A relatively quick find.

Thanks for the hide. Walking around Stirling with bubs in the pram finding a few caches. Cache in good condition.

Out bike riding doing a few and thought it's about time to get this one done, seeing that's it's around the corner from home. Couldn't find it as a FTF (Guilty of no logging a DNF in the early days of Geocaching was a bit embarrassed should have been so simple but I am over that now and am a DNF hero) but now the green patch is gone and a smiley has appeared TFTC

All present and correct

Played around with Skyryser before grabbing the cache. Quiet here today. Tftc The-Shredder

Grab and log with The-Shredder. TFTC

Out for some caching with the geo daughter, one half of TH/CS. Trying for a bunch today. Quick find followed by us videoing a ride on the apparatus. Took about 10 takes due to the laughter. TFTC

Nice day out with the GeoDad. Nice quick find, and a bit of fun too TFTC.

Phew! A bit of groping was the only way to grab this. Thanks!

Quick find here. SL TFTC

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

Great teamwork here. A council worker was parked up looking straight at GZ so Mr. O. and bike did the human shield while Mrs. O. did the groping and quickly found the cache, undetected (we think).

TFTC rossinperth!

Found after a good grope, thanks

Out and about with Barnzy12 TFTH

Quick find on a Saturday morning before the kids were out of bed

I tried approaching GZ a few months ago, but was immediately hassled out by the numerous magpies of the park. Today, I returned and they couldn't give two hoots about my presence. Luckily I found it within seconds. TFTC rossinperth

We headed NOR this afternoon to visit our daughter and son-in-law and managed to talk them into grabbing some caches with us.
A methodical search by 4 people uncovered this one.

TFTC rossinperth this is find # 3852 for us.

Quick find tftc

Saw this had been re-enabled so dropped past on my way to work this morning.
Took a minute or so but soon found it.
The local mudlarks weren't happy, was constantly dive bombed as I hunted and signed the log. TFTC

TFTH rossinperth. Thought today might be my lucky day! Seem to have missed out every time it's been replaced. Not today though!! Found it. Then the muggles and their puggles seemed to like the park. Still, I am very patient. SL and finally managed to replace as found. FP for getting me out on a lovely day.

Cache replaced and back in the game

Definitely no longer here.

Disabled until maintenance has happened

Looked high and low for this cache and couldn't find it. Nice park and where I parked to collect some caches in the area.

Think this one needs a CO check

Finally got back to this one but it looks like the cupboard is once again bare

Off for the first fine day since we returned and headed out in m4yb's GeoJazz for some park and grabs of the new ones in the area.

Was interrupted by a phone call but she made the find in good time.

TFTC rossinperth

First chance at going out caching after getting home from the 1/2 lap trek.
First cache of the day , took a while and also getting the logstrip out, but got both OK, SL and replaced as found. Enjoyed sitting nearby and the sound of parrots.

Come back and no successful for me but spotted redback spider hide it so wont touch [:(!][:(!] so DNF for me [:(!]

Arrived at GZ and did one complete circuit of the object before looking more closely and spotting the cache it was not quite as rusty as the others.
Luckily the park was quite empty at this hour of the morning
TFTC RossinPerth

Nice park and great placement! I stopped to look for the cache on my way home from work and spotted it quickly, but getting to it took a bit longer... Thank you for the hide rossinperth.

tftc rossinperth. finally got back here to get the smiley. thanks for your efforts with this one.

Quick find this time after a previous DNF. The very apt clue made it easy and luckily there were no ankle biters around so could search in peace.

Thanks for replacing, rossinperth...nicely done.

Thanks for replacing this cache. I was a little worried I'd have to fight off small muggles, bring school holidays, but GZ was empty this afternoon. TFTC

Now a micro not a nano

Back in the game folks

Spent 10 mins on my back searching the object by sight and feel. I checked every cm of this object and found nothing. Suggest it may have come off and kids have taken it.

Temp disabled this one while I check on it

The cupboard was empty.

Second attempt here (apology, I inadvertently logged a smiley last visit, I'll correct that shortly) but even armed with an explicit clue I was unable to locate the cache. Thanks anyway

DNF
Spent 5 minutes searching the oldest item. Nothing there or on the ground.

No luck here. Thanks anyway

Speedy find this morning. Doesn't look like this park attracts much of a crowd. There must be more exciting parks nearby that locals use instead. Thanks for the cache.

searched every apparatus no joy

Once I found GZ was on some playground equipment I retreated . Playground swings and the like for me are out-of-bounds for fear of being reported as a D.O.M lingering around where young kids play

Oh dear no no playground - not comfortable myself so try search but no luck so DNF for me

The cache had become dislodged.
It is now back in position
