By ForemanFamily5 on 19-Apr-17. Waypoint GC7473W

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, ForemanFamily5, 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 ForemanFamily5 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.

Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

Alas we two fear this email ne is missing. What a lovely peaceful estate.

Add DNF from me.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No luck for me today! Still, a very intriguing place to visit!

I couldn’t find it

We did not find the cache today, because geominions were afraid of the other teddies everywhere, but we will be back to find it another time

No luck for us today. Looked like some gardening has been done recently

Cool cache!

.

Thanks

Nice, dry, well stocked cache. Well done ForemanFamily.

watch out for spiders

Have found this one before with a previous username but could not find in same place or around today, seems like there has been a lot of traffic through with all the teddy bears placed throughout the walk, will be back to claim the smiley

Nice location

Took trackable and left another.
TFTF

??

Found in good dry condition with trackables and trinkets

Found the cache Anne also found a few teddies in the trees.

I came, I saw, I signed the log. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Cache is in good condition.

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Nicely hidden. My first ever find!

In the area for a cache. TFTH.

Little family expedition!!

Woooo found it!!!

We have replaced the log, pen and collectables in the cache today. We have also replaced this cache in its original location.

Quick find TFTH

Nice find, recovered with what was around, slightly damp.

I'm sure it was not where it would be so I moved out to where the coordinates suggested in a tree book and covered it up with what was available.
Look looks like it's had a bit of water but it was dry enough.
Thanks for the visit to your suburb.

Nice Find

Out and about to hit a few caches or two. Tftc.

Found for an afternoon of Geocaching, cleaning up my map around Kwinana

A quick find, log is wet as reported.

[:o)]

Quick find, but the log is staturated and needs replacing.

Thanks ForemanFamily5 for bringing me to this location. I found the cache at 10:43:00. This was my Find 3 for today out of a Total number of 13 Finds and 0 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 4397.

The cache log is so wet it cannot be signed. Needs to be replaced.

Over from N.Z visiting family in Sunrise. This is my first find in Australia. I was unable to sign log as log is saturated. Have sent photo to C.O as proof of find. Cheers

Doing a bit of Child Minding down this way this morning so thought that we'd find a cache or two suited to our wee Heather Bear. This one was first on the list and found with no problems due to pretty accurate co-ordinates. Thanks for setting this one up ForemanFamily5. We found your cache container half full of water and the zip-lock container was badly torn. Log is saturated but with the right sort of writing stick we were still able to log our visit.

Heading home from the farm and decided to grab a couple of caches while we had a break in the weather. Thanks for the larger size cache as the geo kids enjoy them better and they are harder to find in the urban areas. Tftc.

Nice quick find.
Out and about in Rockingham and surrounds grabbing caches to try and get the Hidden Creatures souvenir.

TFTC ForemanFamily5 this is find # 4889 for us.

Driving out to a few more 'isolated' caches today. What a nice little area! Miss 4 thought the path in was very mysterious. Geokids found this one rather quickly and were happy to make some swaps. Log signed and cache replaced. Tftc

Having fun with the kiddies easy to find once I got the hang of it. Very first geo to find

Took my mother for a drive to find this cache that has been taunting me with its green dot for some time now.
A lovely walk soon had us at gz where my muggle mum spotted the cache before me.
Log book signed and TB taken.

Great location. Nice little walking park

Nice easy find!

(Catch up log)

Chwiliwr and I were coming down to Wellard to visit and saw this cache on the east side of the freeway so diverted over to find it.

Was an easy walk to the cache and we found it without difficulties. Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks ForemanFamily5 for placing this cache for us to find.

(Catching up on some missed logs now that I've managed to get them off the failing GPS.)

First find, great little find. Thanks

The wheels seem to have fallen off my geomojo lately, with a severe lack of enthusiasm on my behalf seeing my find rate fall through the floor. Long gone are the days when my average find rate was up around six per day. But a good series such as this one is bound to tempt me to come out for the day, and I couldn't think of anybody better to share it with than my original geobuddy Marke8183. We had the new additions to the Civilisation series as the target for today's outing and really enjoyed the escape from suburbia, being out in the fresh air, exploring the prisitine bushland and appreciating the peace and quiet out here. I don't think we saw another vehicle the whole time we were out there. Grand adventure.

After a cold beer and a feed at the Jarradale pub, we headed over this way before hitting the freeway for the homeward run. Quick find at gz. Grabbed the trackable to help it continue its journey too. Thanks for the smiley and adding to our days tally ForemanFamily5.

Had a bit of spare time on the way home and stopped by for a couple of quick grabs.

Last one for my afternoon run, cache was found a little exposed and I put some extra cover around before I left, grabbed the TB inside for further travels. TFTC.

Just the one here after missing the one that has sat on the map for too long Square peg round hole!!

A quick find after finishing work early, couldn't find the nearby cache square peg round hole so decided to come and make amends for missing this last time. Quick find in the obvious spot

Found and dropped two tbs tftc!

Out riding with Mickeydv on a long training ride. This was a target cache since it is so close to the freeway bike path and is bike accessible. It was a quick find which is just the way we like it. Thanks.

Took awhile but reading the comments helped cut down the time awesome geocache hide Good job

First geocache! Took a bit of searching, but finally got it!

I definitely need to update my Garmin mapping as this area does not appear at all. So it was a very pleasant surprise to see a whole community here and not a vacant paddock as the Garmin showed. Quick find at gz but no trackable there. Thanks ForemanFamily5

ow that the hustle and bustle of another great WAGB event is over it's finally time to catch up on some logging. This one was a Lonley green dot on my map so I decided to swing past after work. Nice and quiet here because it took me longer than expected to find due to a GPS not wanting to settle and instead directing me to climb fences - you don't need to, besides the grass that side didn't look like fun. Once settled I had a better look in the obvious spot and there it was. Grabbed the TB for it to meet some friends at WAGB. TFTC Foremanfamily

Checked on the Cache this afternoon and placed our Mary Hyde Treasure Trackable

A bit of a water treck!!

Great spot spent way too long looking for it

Took a awhile but great spot, lots of goodies inside!

Yay 2 day looking thanks

Found it with the dennissmithfamily ready and off to the next one !!

CEOs on moving

Car Lach(the geocaching kids) and I have just been and checked the cache and are pleased that it is still in its original hiding place. We have checked it for dryness and re-hidden it in its original place. It is well camouflaged. Happy Geocaching. 9/7/2017 11:50am

I was here with Kyzabra and our GPS's were pointing us in slightly the wrong spot but after widening our search area, we came up trumps . Cheers

Darted put this arvo with Jinta29 to grab a couple of caches.
Found this after about 5 minutes. About 8mtr from my GZ
I can't wait to catch up with everyone again at
[WA GOES BIG 2017](https://coord.info/GC6TD11) in Rockingham, WA.
Perths big event is on again.
**See you there**.

ForemanFamily5 - Kyzabra found your cache CarLach1 . The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing and maintaining your cache.!

Couldn't find this cache tonight even with a previous finder telling me where it was. Suggest co may wish to check it up

Will check on the cache tomorrow 9/7/17 to make sure it's there and to replace the bag.

NEF. We have never been in this area before. Took TB. TFTC

TFTC

*FTF* at 8.40am with Kristybelle
Saw this cache get published last night but I have just had shoulder surgery and cant drive my car. I noticed there was still no logs this morning so I rang the geodaughter Kristybelle and told her to come and pick me up so we could get the cache. Quite surprised to find a blank log but very happy to be FTF...Not sure why the plastic bag is ripped but it might need replacing. Left the TB for someone else to move on TFTC ForemanFamily5
