William’s Wetlands of International Importance Geographe, Western Australia, Australia
By UNGERTRON on 02-Apr-18. Waypoint GC7MEAN

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, UNGERTRON, 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 being in need of 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 any 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 UNGERTRON 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 there, and 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

Not luck

Kids hunted for a while but could not find

Looked for a while and did not find.Maybe someone else will have a better shot.

Not at pinpoint on map

Very easy

Very easy to find

Tftc found ages ago with my better half but forgot to log

Quick get, hard to access

Very good, love the location

G’day UNGERTRON, unfortunately I wasn’t able to find your cache today (Saturday 5/3/2022). Cheers for the hunt anyway!

DNF, Because of time limit and we didn't want to go over the fence.

Nice quick find on my way home.

Hi there UNGERTRON.Traveling around Busselton today and we found this cache at 10:32AM. The container and log are in good condition, though this looks like a replacement. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to UNGERTRON for this cache - our find 9667 and the 2nd of 5 finds for the day.

FieldNotes:

Been aw hope for us!

Replaced container and put it back at gz, now a square plastic container. Started our 2nd tour of WA now touring around the south and now checking out Busselton. 26 January 2022 2:06 pm Tyfc UNGERTRON total caches now 3785

To this cache I came for my next geocaching hit. An easy place to park, I was alone in doing so.
I paused to take a few photos before following the GPSr.
I realised after a while I needed to get more information, I was not seeing the cache. That’s when I read an earlier log about it being 20odd metres away. To there I went and found the cache, or what’s left of it. Someone had added a log paper to substitute for the solid mass that was the old log. This I signed and put everything back as I found it.
This cache really does need some TLC.

Container is broken, way off coordinates. This cache needs attention

Found after reading previous geo finders comments. Please fix for others

A day of two halves. Firstly 15 finds, 2 DNFs and a 32Km ride then after lunch caching by car with 13 finds and 2 DNFs plus one I didn't do as I'm pretty sure it was a snake in the undergrowth as I approached!!

Had to use Ian and Pennys coords from a long time ago (S 33° 38.598 E 115° 22.486). Definitely a good 25m from posted coords. The container is sun damaged and cracked. Needs CO attention to update coords and replace the container please. Great view of the wetlands - boy were the birds noisy!

TFTC UNGERTRON

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Found but log not signed. Infact I couldn't even take my obligatory selfie photo with it needs some serious TLC.
Cool spot though - I didn't know about this bird wetland

Found but GPS is out by at least 25m and was not hidden. The cache is ruined, lid is cracked and has a huge hole, and a spider has made it it's home now. Needs maintenance.

Coordinates a bit off. Cache needs a lot of maintenance

GPS a bit off. Cache is cracked and very damp, needs new container.

Container is broken, log was in wet

Found it. But in need of maintenance lid is broken and it was full of water I’m not sure if it’s been moved from its original spot.

Found it! But definitely needs some maintenance. Whole thing is very wet.

The NM from last June has never been addressed.
Coordinates are still well out.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Tricky tftgc

Bit off the coordinates. Don’t cross into the grass

Found

We found the container at the corrected coords but not sure if this is the one that was placed...

This weekend saw the jinta crew planning our first over night camping trip for some time and we headed southwards to explore this area! We headed away from Baldivis and meandered our way towards Busselton collecting smilies along the way. This cache was one we targeted for our weekend adventure. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there UNGERTRON, I was in this area today and found your cache William’s Wetlands of International Importance GC7MEAN. I added my name to the log book at 11:10 am on 5 December 2020. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

Very hard to spot and lots of long grass. Tftc

Away on a girls weekend to Bussleton with ICnothing, Kapelula and meme28. Hoping to hit some milestones during our adventures. Signing as a team this weekend KAMEINGT. Thank you to all the COs for placing their caches along the way for is to enjoy.

Heading south with Kapelula ICNothing and geotrakka (KAMEINGT) on our girls weekend.
Another smiley after the gz is out, check your speed. Replaced the log as the container was full of water. Needs a check on it.

Finally our girls weekend has arrived Kapelula, Meme28, Geotrekka and I C Nothing are heading south with four full days of caching to celebrate some birthdays and geo milestones. We have been puzzling like crazy in preparation so our aim is to find those caches and everything else that takes our fancy. Maybe even a challenge or two. Signed log as Kameingt.

This one was soaked. We signed and replaced the log and container as found. TFTH!

logFound whilst out on an extended weekend road trip to Busselton, Dunsborough and surrounds with I C Nothing, Meme28 and geotrakka. Signed log as KAMEINGT.

Easy

Found it.

We also saw ducklings. Nice little bonus.

Found nice and easy, the container had a crack in the lid and was full of water. We emptied out what we could, but the log is damp.

Bit of a pain but found it

Coordinates are off, but easy find.
Check your speed

Down for 4 days from Perth with family. Went for a walk with sis , Guiness12 and LachlanArnold. Nice view here.

Great little wetlands

Easy find location a bit off

Found it

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Found not wear the gps said it was but if you use your head you will find it

Not at the coordinates so a little trickle at first but turned out to be easy

Well placed

TFTC

Chwiliwr and I had to come down to Bunbury/Ferguson Valley for a funeral tomorrow so decided to make a few days of it and traveled from Perth today to Busselton before heading back to Bunbury for the night.

After walking around a few caches in Busselton we decided to head for Bunbury and do a few caches on the way. This was one of them.

Cache soon located after reading some logs and working out the coordinates were 23m out, log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks UNGERTRON for placing the this cache for us to find.

Either the cache should be placed at the coordinates or the coordinates updated to where the cache is now.

Catching up on some missing logs.

Took a while

Nice to see everyone's swaps, unfortunately I didn't have anything to swap so I left it but lovely place ️

Thanks to the people for the clues. Found it!

Share looking around for a while we started to wonder of this was going to be over the fence. We looked back through old logs to find it was 20m or more off from GZ.
We found a photo then the cache.
Go to the 70( you will see it if you look) to find the very exposed cache.
Maybe it needs a bit of covering over it.

Found it! & left a little mirror! Thanks for the find!

Found today. Thankfully the logs have some clues as this cache was a way off the cords. Pretty exposed too. TFTC

Found cache on 22/1/20.

Tijdens vakantie door WA deze cache gezocht, maar niet gevonden.

Grabbed this out looking at land for sale! TFTC HNY!

Hi there UNGERTRON.

We found your cache **"William’s Wetlands of International Importance"** at 9:32:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 23693).

The day promised to be another warm one, so we decided that logging some caches around Busselton would be a good idea. We thoroughly enjoyed our drive, walks and the scenery - even though the flies were particularly "sticky" today.. We found 5 caches & DNF'd 1.

Thanks for placing this cache here. Over the years, Geocaching has taken us on many adventures and to lots of wonderful destinations all over Australia. Without 'caching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wanderings. 'Caching has also introduced us to a diverse group of like-minded people, many of whom we now call friends.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 23m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Melted balloons
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thank you UNGERTRON for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Yes

Overgrown grass over fence

Found!

Nice find with my son. The location is a little bit off hit after a quick search we found it. Spoiler in the photos. TFTC!

Not quite sure what the last cacher meant. By the look of previous photos, the cache wouldn't fit under the rim of the drain! But I looked everywhere and still didn't have any luck with this cache. Will keep an eye on it and maybe come back. TFTC

Found it

I found this and added two lion king ooshie we put it under the lip of the drain

Found it

Down for the weekend, getting the odd cache or two, plus some fishing with a mate.

Found

So many ducks in one place! As noted below it's a red square container you're looking for.

Was my first geocache find!

Great find thank you!

Found while the cars whizzed by. Thanks.

Nice spot to watch the birds. TFTC

A nice place to watch the birds. TFTC

Interesting find trying not to be seen

We found the 6 1

Easy find, beautiful location

Found and in good condition. Loads of bits inside but well in sight of muggles so be careful!

Travelling Australia since March 2014 now we are in the west for a visit with family.

We headed out this morning with the aim of grabbing a couple of caches before and after the CITO. The drizzle continued most of the day, but we dodged most of the heavy showers.

It was so much fun waving and chatting to other caches which were easily identified with their red car flags waving!

TFTC UNGERTRON

Replaced with medium container instead of glass and added new log book also. Saw some cows

Out with the Machman on our way down to WA Goes Big in Dunsborough.
Quick find here. TFTC

On route to WAGB with Spatial Riq, grabbing a few Caches on route !! quick find here. TFTC

First real day of the WAGB weekend and out with m4yb again.
A nice easy find even though the cords were a bit out.
Thanks for the hide and smiley

Day 2 of our stay in this part of the world, and a bit of caching with megawat60 before the WAGB festivities start. Quick find and quick look at the birds. TFTC.

Suscoe was enjoying another lovely day in Busselton.
The weather was pleasant yet again with a top Temp of around 21 degrees, clouds and sunshine, some wind early which settled down during the afternoon. And the sea changed from small wind blown waves and a few little white caps and then no wind and a clam ocean out from the beach.
We cached and cached and walked and trained the jetty and cached and cached.
Thanks to UNGERTON for this hide.
So many birds across the wet stuff.
