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, Mistraluna, 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.

### 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 Mistraluna 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

After have two DNFs and only a single find I was feeling I needed another to finish on a high. To this cache I came, after picking TaurusSix up.
We looked around, and around. The sticks are rather sharp which dissuaded me from digging deeper into some areas. But I had to walk away not feeling it here.

While the interstate travel is still a bit iffy we decided to spend the time touring southern WA.
I was waiting to pick my snuggle muggle up from the train and I thought I would have a go at a couple of nearby caches.
This was the only one I found and it didn't take to find
This was find number 1 for the day.

With Mr dimor have a four day weekend (a rarity) I thought we'd spend a couple of nights metro and partake in a few 'firsts' with a night at Gloucester Park and another night at Cannington Greyhounds (haven't been to either), before heading south for finals night at the Western National Drag Racing, then even further south to a day at the Pinjarra Trots before getting home.
Will be needing a holiday after all this socialising Big Grin.

Had to come nearby to pick something up but it wasn't ready (not impressed when told last week it would be) so we grabbed this cache before heading to Perth

A nice quick find in a deserted park. TFTC Smile

Forgot to log this one. Found last week on my way home from work. Didn't take long to spot this time as it was clearly visible to public. Can see why it disappears so much, but can't understand why I couldn't find it first time around. Was at the exact same spot as last time. Tftc Mistraluna

Had a big day out planned with Cravo10 to the general Mandurah area, starting in Preston Beach and working our way back to cockburn cache by cache.

Managed to snag some 37 caches today with a handful of DNFs, including catching up with ooh yeh and redlipsansunicorns who were grabbing a few aswell.

Overall a quite successful day, with a nice variety of containers and some great scenery around the Mandurah area.

A special thanks to the COs for their hides and in particular the large amount of recent maintenance.

Thanks again for a great day out.

Finally found both of these two little twins while on the way home from the city. Amazed I haven't found them before now, although I did find their previous incarnations.
There was a gardener blowing away leaves in the distance but otherwise the area was quite deserted, so no problems making a quick find, sign and replace. Left a TB.
Thanks for these two caches Mistraluna.

Went to check on this one, see who was in the log and who wasn't, despite the change to the listing saying that the cache is NOT the big green rusty tin. Grabbed the geocoin while I was there too.
