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

Nice sneaky find. Carefull on your way too it, maybe no thongs. Found with orrsome family.tftcPerentie6x6
Tricky! Out with geosister MandieShaw. Found the cache due to the good title. My 262th find.
Out for a morning run. I was hoping to find Goldilocks goes Postal but didn't have any luck so I picked up these ones on my way back to the car.
I had a good idea where this one was but it still took a few minutes to finally locate the nasty little nano.

Went geocaching around Sugarloaf rock. This was the first find. Took longer than it should have. That’s often the way with the first find of the day. Thanks for the cache.
It was the second time for us in Australia. We stayed in this fascinating country from 11/08/-30/08/2019.
We started our travels in Perth and went in the following 20 days south to Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River, Pemberton, Denmark, Albany, Hopetoun and Esperance. We continued north to Kalgoorlie, further to the West to Hyden, Northam, Muchea and Cervantes. From Cervantes we drove back to Perth with a final stop at Rottnest Island.
Besides the sightseeing spots we visited and looked for different cache types as
Traditionals, Multis, WherIGos, Letterboxes, Mysteries, Earthcaches and Virtuals. It’s all in the mix.
We could lern a lot about the hide and seek in Western Australia. Maybe we can use the gained knowledge in Germany to hide some caches the way you do in Australia.
We enjoyed these amazing 3 weeks in Down Under as we could do in 2010 and we hope to come to Australia again as soon as possible.
Sorry, the logs are not unique for each cache but we had fun looking for every single one.

pug002 found it 14/1/2019 on our square dance weekend. Some rough terrain but the old girl handles it well. TFTC GeoHuntorz 
We had intended to do both 4wd series today but too many cowboys whizzing along the track and not appreciative of anyone stopped along the way. Found all but 4 of the Goldilocks series - will return when its not holiday time and the track is quieter. Thanks GeoHuntorz
The weather wa a bit iffy this morning and it actually rained quite a bit at times, which dampened our enthusiasm for caching. Along with ilook4geo it was a team effort, but so many times we just did not managed to locate what Goldilocks had hidden and was protecting. So it was only a mediocre result for this run. GeoHuntorz still get our thanks for this interesting run of caches. It was also interesting negotiating the track and dodging the many vehicles out for the fun drive today.
This was a fun drive, but we did have some misses along the way with goingplaces2. The hides varied and the containers were different as well. Despite the less than usual success rate we still had a lot of fun. TFTC.
Hi there GeoHuntorz - while staying in the Four Seasons Caravan Park in Busselton for the WAGB weekend
When we were up at Cape Naturalist we had a call from parkacruz asking if we would like to join them on an assault of these series......we did not need asking twice, so accepted their very kind offer, jumped in the car & met them at #34 on the Dunsborough Tracks. TFTF parkacruz & TFTC GeoHuntorz
Had a bit of spare time today when I wasn't needed at any of the events, so popped out and grab a few caches with SeabreezeOZ. Neither of us had done this series so we thought we would grab as many as we could before I had to get back to work. Started at the furtherest ones away and worked our way back, searching for caches between showers. Managed to find all that we tried for too. Thanks for placing and maintaining this series for the rest of us to come and find GeoHuntorz. Not as many whale sightings today as two evenings ago, but still the odd splash out there. Bonus!!
I was still travelling out and about with maccamob and our aim for the day was a few caches before heading to the CITO and then an afternoon of fun doing the 4wd tracks.
After a pleasant morning caching despite the weather and attending the CITO of hardly any rubbish we joined force with Crank1, Everlasting,Varuna & Baby & Mrs Gopher to start the Dunsborough Tracks & The Goldilocks series.
It was a great way to spend the afternoon with beautiful scenery, varied cache hides and excellent company.
We saw that this acache wasn't too far away and after sitting in the 4wd it was great to stretch the legs and go for a bit of a walk along a glorious part of the coastline. The cache was located quickly in a strong wind.
To save room in the log we signed as "3 States"
Thanks GeoHuntorz for setting up this fantastic series.

Down in the Dunsborough area attending the event. Thought this series looked like our type of caching. Love exploring tracks. TFTC 
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 registering at WAGB, and then teaming up with TheMachman and Spatialriq to tackle the 4wd series of caches.
Lucky for us the rain held off most of the day. some great views and wildflower spotting added to the enjoyment of these caches. We bumped into so many other cachers on the trail which is always fun.

Woohoo !!! Found it !!!
After a late start, I finally made it to WAGB18 just after 1pm so a bit late starting.
After registering I was off to tick some caches off the list and turn them into smileys .
With time against me as it was a late start I had to get a move on as bad weather was forecast for later in the arvo.
Had heard & read great reports about this 4WD series so off the beaten track I go. Had a great time doing these with some harder finds mixed into the series.
Magnificent views & great coast line in this series.
Why would we even consider living anywhere else, WA is the best place on earth.
Not a good start either as I gashed my finger on a broken bottle I didn’t see. Patched it up and off to the next.

Met up with FelixII at WAGB so headed off along with Spatial Riq to take on this 4WD series. .. lots of fun !! TFTC
Out with FelixII and the Machman to tackle the Goldilocks and Dunsborough Trails 4WD series.
Glad we used FelixII's Landcruiser as my Pulsar would not have made it!
Some easy finds, plenty of tough ones. Thanks for a great series. TFTC

Finding the Goldilocks Series, this was our next target…. Another find for Master 7 here who was racing Jase to make the last find before heading back to camp for a late lunch
TFTC & the great drive through these parts…. It was perfect weather with spectacular scenery along the way! Not sure we are fond of finding nanos in the bush, but very happy to have found them all…. Three cheers for all your efforts

[^]We headed out along the tracks today to collect some more smilies, happy to say we came up trumps here. Thank you for placing the caches, we absolutely loved watching the whales enjoying and playing in their playground, amazing and breath taking TFTC
Sent Mr OOH YEH back down south on a very early morning caching trip. Picked up a pile of caches plus a 4X4 caching run which saw him pick up some new caches that had recently come out. All caches were found with a few that took a bit of searching. Thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches
Headed down to Bunbury and Busselton today with Barnzy12. Had the CITO on the list for 9am however making a full day of it we, well I was up at 4.30 and picketed up B12 at 5.15. A pile of caches on the list to find today from Trads to multi, puzzle, letterbox, event and even an earth cache. Making for a very busy day good thing it’s spring and the sun was out with a mild 21degree day, Thanks to the CO’s for the placement and maintenance on all caches found today.
A huge day out caching in the south west of our beautiful state with Cravo10. We planned to leave Perth early and head down to Bunbury to cleanup a heap of caches before attending the CITO event hosted by Rach2/Dimor before heading further south to Busselton, Dunsborough and Margaret River/witchcliffe.
Leaving Perth at 515am we made our way into Australind and got eaten alive by a bunch of mozzies and enjoyed a lovely stroll out along the groyne to the new cache out there before finding a couple of multis and then attending the CITO.
Whilst at the CITO we got chatting with JackyLegs44 and agreed to cache our way into Dunsborough before meeting up with one of his mates who had access to a serious 4wd for the new goldilocks series, which despite the terrain ratings should not be attempted in anything less than a serious 4x4 unless you want to be rescued. A great ride in the back of the troopy and some neat hides and some needles amongst the hay stacks. Was also nice to meet falcon351 and ringtailposs on the trail who we cached with for nearly the entirety of the goldilocks trail.
After completing the series we hit up the cockatoos dinner puzzle before heading to Witchcliffe to complete some of the newly published puzzles down there. Managed 4 of the puzzles before calling it quits for the day as we had to be back in Perth at a reasonable hour.
Thanks to the local COs for their hides. A great day out. Thank you.
