### 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 muskcat83 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

With axell33 and some disappointment here as we did a pretty good search of the area. Having brought a couple of caches back from the dead we were very hopeful, but not here today!

We stopped here once again without to much confidence but after finding the last one we had a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately after 20 minutes searching we came up empty handed, its not to say its not buried somewhere after so much time its just wasnt revealing itself to us today. TFTC muskcat83 and janssej.

Came out to start another great Civs series but unfortunately the area has been ravaged by fire! After 7 finds and 5 DNFs we decided to call it a day

The area here was completely burnt out again so no luck here today!

So sorry about the fires, you put such an effort into these!

No luck on this one

Not having much luck with this series. Again it looks like a fire has gotten to this one.

No luck this one too

Continuing my adventure with Everlasting. Thankfully she has a 4wd since the tracks were in far worse condition than on my previous visits. Thanks for the hide.

Accompany with K.B. the weather is very nice for us no wet day...
Enjoyed myself for the day with her company - mostly she found all caches before me
I enjoyed drive the car this area - loved bush land. [^]
Thanks muskcat83 for the cache and hunt. [^]

Nice one.
Probsty and I headed out into Civilisation land today. We made 28 finds and 2 DNF’s. Thanks muskcat83 and janssej for the series and another cracking day out in the Jarrahdale forest.

Nice quick one TFTC

Out with Kapelula and the geokids enjoying the sunshine and finishing this series. This cache found quickly. Cache very water logged we have dried it as much as possible. Tftc

Found with I C Nothing. The cache was very water logged as was the log. We just managed to get our names on it after drying the cache out the best we could. TFTH

Had the day off, so out we went to do some of the Civilisation series. When we arrived we noticed a fire had been through there. OMG, but we decided to still tackle them. We found some and other's missing or fried. This series was really well put together, but was unable to complete it this time, but when fixed and up and running again, we'll be back to complete it.
Tftc.

Lovely bright day to tackle a few of the Wonder Series. Easy find. TFTC

I had a few hours spare this afternoon so thought I'd head back down here to (hopefully) finish the (current) Civilisation series. I had a number of blue faces to avenge from previous visits, happy to say that I managed to turn some of them yellow, but unfortunately I also added a few extra frowns to the map. TFTC

Cool cache.

Nice easy find as had the previous finds today. Jinxed myself for thinking it with next two. TFTC.

Out and about today with Parkacruz and Team Bastholm, we managed 3 civilisation series and 3 FTF not a bad days work. TFTC and all the effort into placing these caches for our enjoyment

We headed out today with Neva2old and TeamBastholm to tackle some more of the Civilisation series, we had a successful day with only one DNF and 3 FTF’s, some fantastic innovative caches where found along the way with a mixture of easy finds to extensive searches required. We signed all logs either with our full caching names or PC, N2O and TB TFTC

Out with Parkacruz and Neva2Old.

Going stir crazy from not being able to get out and grab some smileys of late, I sought a leave pass to tackle some of the Civilisation caches and got the thumbs up from the missus. I targeted the Wonder Series and had a rather enjoyable time navigating the gravel roads picking up 18 finds and 3 DNF's in about 3 hours. Next time I'll be putting the long strides on, the March flies were pretty fierce if you stood still for too long.

A nice quick find here.

muskcat83 I found your cache at 10:36am, this was the 7th of 20 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 4449. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Hi there muskcat83 - A day out geocaching for me meant that I had to have a look at the two remaining Civisation strings. This was a good day totalling 36 finds and 3l DNF's. All in all a great day in the Australian bush. The container and log are in good condition. Thanks to muskcat83 for this cache - our find #5383.

Out and about with richlink today to hunt down the latest offerings in the Civilisation caches.

We had a great day, we found some of the caches quite challenging but others were located quickly and we loved the themed cache containers.

Thanks for the search muskcat83, your efforts are much appreciated.

Beautiful day to be out caching as we set off with iluvtrekking down the tracks, back tracking here and there to complete the Wonder series. All found but some not without a bit of head scratching and frustration. Easy find here. Thanks janssej & muskcat83

After dropping the geoboy at work early this morning, I headed down to Jarrahdale to make another dent in the Civilisation Series. These caches are such an asset to this area and I am privileged to live pretty close to the lot.

A nice quick find here.


muskcat83 - SVKR_WA found your cache Civilisation – Wonder Series – Colossus at 08:16:53 on the 18 Nov 2017. This find brings our total finds to 2396.

We appreciate the effort you have gone to in placing this cache for our fun and enjoyment.

Out and about with Mistraluna, to grab some smileys on the new Civilisation series. Good variety of different hides, and some of them proved to be real tricky, but we got there in the end. Lighthouse hide was my favourite one of them all. Thank you for the trouble of placing these hides. PS - we saw a snake too... just a python

Surprise!! Eliktrisiti came out of hiding and declared that she wanted to go geocaching again, something she said was probably never going to happen again - moved on, found a new love, outgrown geocaching, fed up with mint tins, nanos and sistemas after a coming back to Australia following a trip home to eastern Europe and seeing the effort that they go to over there when placing a cache. Anyway, she reneged, so I jumped at the chance of getting "out in the wilds of Australia" again with the wee lass. I chose this series because I knew there was going to be a good variety of hides that would keep us amused and on our toes. That and the chance of a cold beer and a bite to eat at the awesome Jarradale pub on the way home. And of course we weren't disappointed with either. We had a great day of it, nattering away, catching up on each others' news as we searched for these caches. Well done guys - great additions to the series - and a very enjoyable day out there. Thanks janssej & muskcat83 - you guys rock!

What a beautiful day, what wonderful company, what another great series.TFTC

Teamed up with PP2, m4yb and megawatt60 to tackle this latest civilisation installment. All logs were signed 'FRAMMP'. A fun morning of caching with good friends finished off with a yummy pub lunch at the Jarrahdale Tavern.
TFTC muskcat83, janssej this is find # 3519 for us.

Time to get Civilized! Megawat60 and I met up with FraTra and pommieparkin2 to look for the new series in this lovely part of the world.
Good find here! TFTC!

Yet more of the series, so off with the usual suspects for the hunt. That would be her royal highness queen Caroline as PP2, m4yb and fratra
All signed as frammp
Thanks for the smiley

Seeing these caches published had us formulating a plan to head out here for the latest Civilisation instalment. Another fantastic addition to the awesomeness that is geocaching in Jarrahdale!

Hi there muskcat83, we were out geocaching in this area today, 29/10/17, and found your cache Civilisation – Wonder Series – Colossus GC7DWDF at 8:57 am. Thanks for taking the time to place this cache out here for us to find!

This brings our cache find to a total of 8484.

**FTF** with Barnzy12 OOH YEH and WebblyWA, together we formed Team COBWeb to make logging the large number of caches a bit easier.

I had just arrived home from Steve’s house when no more than 2 minutes had passed and he was calling me, “what now could he want” was the thoughts running through my head. The words down the phone were simply “ are you coming to Jarrahdale” not more was needed to be said after the teaser on Facebook the other day!!

Barnzy and I had agreed to meet at gateways shopping centre as usual, and drive in to carpool in one car with the others.

Was a nice drive through the countryside with 27 finds, all of which were FTF and one pesky DNF which will mean we must come back to complete the series.

A great night out caching which will help the stats nicely.

Thanks for a nice variety of containers and some very different styles of caches.

Published

A Team COBWeb joint {*FTF*}. From the moment these were published phone calls started flying around the place and plans were made for me to wait on top of the hill before heading in so the FTFs could be shared. This suited me just find because I have a bit of a phobia when it comes to being in the Forrest at night - something to do with giant flesh eating Suinaes. I needed someone to at least hear my screams. Kicking off at around 8pm series took us longer than expected as whenever we hit a spot of reception more 'pings' would arrive and we would have to back track to 'collect them all'. Sadly we did not having a token elusive trad become our only DNF. Great fun was had along the way with a few puzzles in the dark and some torches going flat adding to the challenge. Luckily though we were home by midnight - well I was. Another great extension to one of WA's best series, with a surprise for every find a a good game of guess what we would find next. TFTC and Series. Janssej and muskcat83

*FTF* with Barnzy12, Cravo10 and WebblyWA
Since I don't go on Facebook Barnzy12 informed me about this series that was going to come out. I had already been out yesterday doing a round trip of about 350 kms to pick up 8 caches and I just sat down last night when the first one got published. On the phone straight away to Barnzy12 and we all agreed to meet up at the first cache. I think at this stage it was about 8pm and it proberly only took us 3.5 hours at night to complete with one very annoying DNF. I chose to be the driver and all logs were signed COBWeb to save time and space on the log sheets. Good variety of containers with some that took a while to find. We had one funny moment towards the end when I thought Cravo10 was back in the car and I drove off without him lol... Collected all the clues as we went along and as we forgot to bring paper Webblys arm was the notebook. The final was found and then it was time to head home. An enjoyable series TFTC janssej

I was sat at home with the wife already in bed for her early start tomorow, with strict instructions to not disturb her. As soon as I saw the notifications start coming for the civilisation series, phone calls were exchanged and rough plans to meet just off Jarrahdale road with the others who were crazy enough to even want to be out late at night hinting micros in the bush!!

Cravo and I had agreed to meet at gateways shopping centre as usual, and drive in to carpool in one car with webbly and OOH YEH. Hit a snag with some road closures but got there in the end.
