WST - Rock Lobster Fishery Cervantes, Western Australia, Australia
By WheatbeltScience on 10-Jul-17. Waypoint GC78YM8

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, WheatbeltScience, 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 Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO, WheatbeltScience.

The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 30 days to see if either

- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken

**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**

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

Help DNF

Difficult to find alot of muggles on holiday coming out to fish

Searched and searched with no avail.

Had a pretty good look for this one this evening but came up short. Thanks anyway.

Nice and easy. Quick and easy

We found it as described. Kids enjoyed the search.

My first ever geocache! Thank you

TFTC. I looked a couple off years ago but missed it. Quite easy. Love Cervantes.

Marble Bar to Baldivis with axell33 and we have now made it to the coast. This was an interesting read about the lobster industry, and I'm glad it is able to provide Livelihoods for so many. I did notice about town that there has been a lot of money invested here since I last visited. We search for the cache with no luck in all the nooks and crannies and as we were leaving axell33 made the find. Happy with that. A great little hide here! Thanks for the cache here.

Heading home from Marble Bar and collecting smileys as we go, we have most caches here but had a couple we needed and this was one of them. We made the short walk to gz and started our search. We searched for ages with not luck and just as we were about to run up the white flag we spotted it. We signed our names on your log book and returned your cache back to where it hides. TFTC WheatbeltScience.

Thanks for the cache this was a fun find.

Great getaway with friends for the WA long weekend. Stoked at my winnings from our 4x4 club & caught loads of fish & squid. A great place.

Great Cache..... it had heaps of cobwebs for extra effect

Well hidden

Was a little hard to find at first but was pretty fun

Lots of seaweed and large reptiles we didn’t want to disturb so left it for today.

Found with friends, Awhi, Shiralee, Mathias and Alder x
TFTC!

Couldn’t spare a lot of time to search

Found it!!!

Looked high and low, couldn't find it. Tmmm

Found on a nice spring morning. Well hidden. Not too easy but nice to find if you are thorough. TFTC . Aunt Annie’s first find!

Out and about with Mrs richlink while the boys arevon the cycle path. We finally found this cache on coordinate after phoning a friend.
Thanks for the cache WST.

Early morning visit with ILT. This was a difficult find and we resorted to PAF. Container was soon located but was concealed under sand. This is the last in the WST series for us. Thanks Wheatbeltscience for the adventures through the area.

Seaweed made it hard to find

Very confusing because of the description. Not actually sure where to look but looked everywhere anyway and still had no luck

Good find took us about 20 minutes to find. Good spot (look down low)

Good found, look down low, good spot. Pretty hard spot but good. Took about 15-20 mins to find.

Homeward bound & exploring the sights of Cervantes, I headed to this one & really struggled in finding it... The CO came to my aid as to the location & Ive gotta admit I was searching nowhere near there! The GZ is a lot more sensible & more in line with the terrain rating lol

I returned later with the rest of the family & DangerMouse09 discovered this one... It certainly is more well hidden that when it was originally placed, TFTC WheatbeltScience & thanks for the help

No good. Lots of seaweed from a recent storm

no luck..
Lots of seaweed in the area..
Possibly covered from recent storms...

No luck with this one today. Looked for about 40min with 2 people. Maybe next time

Catching up on some logs from caching runs with Barnzy12. Finally catching up. Thanks for the placement.

We had a search here but the same little truck came back and forth a couple of times as we were looking. We felt quite awkward so gave up as they came back for their third return trip We perked ourselves up with a nice lunch at the Lobster Shack.

It was a short search.
Thanks for this little entertainment.

Awesome spot for a cache, decided to drop off a TB here too. Thanks for placing this one here. TFTC!

Our first geocache - thanks wheatbelt science team!

discovered after 30 minutes

Gutes Versteck

A bit tricky with so many places to look.

Enjoying our trip in the west. Now heading south towards Albany.

Too many hidey holes amongst the rocks for me to clamber over, so, no find for me.

Thanks anyway

Find 15 of 15 with two DNFs on a quick trip to Jurien Bay and Cervantes. The Jurien Bay trail was ridden out into a massive headwind then we flew back.

Plenty of spots for this one but managed to pick the right one quickly.

TFTC WheatbeltScience!

Found on our way back to Geraldton after overseas trip. Good to see the blue sky and smell the fresh air. Based on that it deserves an FP.
SL TFTC WheatbeltScience. Took two trackables ( WCY6J1 Piston) & (Q8YE0 Sheep)

Tftc found with geowife Joolz:-)

Found on our way to Jurien Bay. Great camo! Out geocaching with the geowife Alikat TFTC

Today our tour - which began in Perth, WA , and led us thru Western, Northern and Southern Australia back to Perth, was from Perth to Jurien Bay.

On the way we came to some interesting locations. Here we searched, found and logged this Tradi-Cache.

Weather was good in the morning and it should even get better during the day.

Thanks to 'WheatbeltScience' for showing us this location and for the fun we had with 'WST - Rock Lobster Fishery'. The search here and today didn't take too much time, fortunately.

Greetings from Germany and we hope to see you soon in the forest.

Had a quick look on the wrong side to start with and spotted the cache from there. Took a TB and left 2 others. TFTC

Hi there WheatbeltScience.

We found your cache **"WST - Rock Lobster Fishery"** today. (This makes our find count 22853).

We cached around Jurien Bay & Cervantes today & found your cache **"WST - Rock Lobster Fishery"**.
(This brings our total find count to 22853). We had an interesting trek around the area & found 2 caches today & DNF'd 2.

We thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and the drive. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
**Dropped Trackable:** "Minna Made".

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

TFTC! On our week away in Cervantes. Doing a bit of caching!! Great camo!!

Heading home after a fantastic few days away shared with good friends & each other We have been to places we had not visited before, seen sights we had never seen before, met a prince, driven hundreds of kilometres on unsealed roads, found bucket loads of caches, including our fair share of FTFs, celebrated our 11,000 find......phew, have I forgotten anything, oh yes enjoyed very pleasant weather. Thanks to everyone who contributed in any way to the fun & TFTC WheatbeltScience

A nice quick find for us here today.
TFTC WheatbeltScience this is find # 7518 for us.

Had given up and about to leave but still looking when ‘Bingo’. Great camouflage. TFTC

Stopped in Cervantes for lunch on our way to Dongara today and spotted this cache ahead of us. Found it quite easy and took travel bug maybe to Dongara or Kalbarri.

Next trip

Thanks!!

Thanks

Maybe next time

No luck for us! Thought we'd give it a go after eating at the lobster shack.

Yet another DNF for this cache.

Searched half an hour at point Zero, without success.
The spot is sandy but beautiful.
Greetings from Holland.

Sorry, we did‘nt find the Cache! I saw a snake and then we canceled the tour !

Thanks and many greetings,
Kiesiline from Germany!

Quick easy find

Sand and muggles beat us. Next time.

Saw this was recently replaced so thought we would have a go. Nearly blown away by the wind but easy find. Tftc

**Founded** thank you for the maintenance.

It was a little bit deep, so I have to dig so when I finished to log, I place it as the same place but less deepper

**TFTC** Greetings from France.

Cache is indeed missing again, new cache placed in original location, you are looking for a camo sistema

No luck for us either

We had a look for this after visiting The Lobster Shack and were unable to locate it also.

Hmm, gone again? So soon!!
We will check it again......

is it still there?

We have searched and searched but still no find... will be back tomorrow

Good to go again.

New sistema and logbook placed. We shall see how long it lasts this time, Goodluck.

This is scheduled to be replaced sometime between the 10th and 11th of Nov

This cache will be checked as soon as possible, sorry for the delay

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Perhaps a reviewer can disable this one till the owner can check.

Nothing

A no go. Searched the rocks and had no luck.

Not found. This is very confussing. Is it moved or not. Seems to be lost again, there has been some nasty weather. Maybe someone could actually pin point the hole. We had 8 eyes and pretty sure we looked in every hole both sides for 5 metres.

Got impatient with the weather, and doubts about its apparent move.

As per my log can the owner please check on this one?

No luck for us today on this one. I searched for a while and then when I checked the logs I walked away. If the owner could check this one that would be great.

Thanks anyway WheatbeltScience.

We left Geelong Vic in January and went up the centre to Darwin and across to WA, we will be home by Christmas
WA is simply stunning
We are travelling to cerventes and the scenery, towns are just beautiful

Looked for a while but no find ... would be more helpful with new coordinates

pug002 DNF 24/8/2018 on our way back north.

Thought this one would be fun but we searched all different holes and expanded our search for nothing! Could be cache blindness!! Read that it had been moved slightly but no updated coords??

Quick find TFTH

Recovered by X

Easy find

Quick stop nearby so time to find this one. Lovely place. First Cache in WA.

Sorry we forgot to update hint and description when cache was changed to a sistema and relocated slightly

Ditto stickyfeet. We are sure the hole matched the spoiler and there was no cache there.

Pretty sure I was searching the right rock hole, but the removal of an arm length of sand all that was reveal was a large cavity at the back of the hole

Hope this one hasn’t gone walkies but may need to be checked up on

From hint its clear where it is but area/hole is fully covered by sand. We dig it but no luck
