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, CoorowPrimarySchool, 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.

Found this previously when in Coorow just forgot to logTFTC

### 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 CoorowPrimarySchool 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

No cache but was happy finding all the different orchids.

Didn't find cache but found some beautiful orchids

Did not find

Had a good look but couldn't find it

Pity. Did see some early orchids but the hint didn't help much. I thought they all did . Then it started to rain.

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 75 - Moora to Carnamah via Coorow. For once it was a dry day. Today was a slow start as I had to unhook last night. The journey was to the north and there was only one town to explore. There were a few side trips to places that do not seem to be any more than railway sidings. The number of caches has dropped off, nor surprising really so I was at my destination in Carnamah for a late lunch. This at least gave me time to catch up on logs and other online duties. Into ton for an afternoon explore and home to cook dinner in the van. This cache had not been found for some time and there are trees down and the clue made no sense to me. I hope it is there somewhere, but I could not find it. Thanks.Albida

Camping the weekend at Lake Edawa near miling. The rest of the crew are swimming whilst I travel around the place getting caches.

It's a bit wet inside and a little off the target spot.
But great tin

Quick easy find. Wrong time of year for orchids. Cool container

Today we went from Geraldton via Three Springs to Coorow. On the way we stopped at some geocaches and could find all of them well. Despite the heat of 40 degrees, it was a pleasure to look for the caches. Thanks for laying and maintaining.

Heading back home after Xmas on the farm. Planning to stop and hunt my way back. Hoping the 41 degrees wont come to fruition. Taking the inland road this trip. Thanks to the CO’s for placing caches in remote areas for us wonderlusters to enjoy.
A nice quick find thanks CPS

Too late for the orchids, some other pretty wildflowers though. TFTC

I'm just a little late in the season here, found some orchids but the flowers were pretty much dead. Plenty of other pretty wildflowers though.

On a road trip up to the Mid West. Today, we drove up to Coorow, Carnamah, Three Springs and on to Mingenew where we stopped for the night. We enjoyed the variety of hides, particularly those that were placed on or near signs that depicted the history of the area. Thank you to all the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment. Special thanks to the students of Coorow Primary School. We really enjoyed your caches.
Find #3993 for us today.

Ok

Plenty of wildflowers today but didn’t see any orchids. Maybe a bit early in the season, or maybe we just missed them. TFTC

Done on a foggy morning

A quick find on the way north this trip. I have passed this one by several times because of the bend, but decided to stop this time. Thanks to CoorowPrimarySchool for this cache. Next trip we'll stop in and spend some time in and around Coorow

TFTC CoorowPrimarySchool

Working our way back from Gero to Perth via the back way picking up a few caches in each of the Shires.

An easy find here tftc

Quick find this morning while heading to site for a week of work away TFTC

No luck with this one. Did wide search, but nothing

Read the posts saying that it wasn't found but decided to have a look anyway.

Coorow Primary School are onto it and have replaced the cache. Different tin to the one seen in an uploaded image on here.

All good to go!

Good find.

Continuing on our trip in the west. Lunch in Coorow today.
Great to see the children from Coorow Primary School learning about Geocaching.
Thank you.

Unfortunately we could not find this one. No orchids either

Unfortunately a DNF for us . GPS wasn’t settling. searched as per the hint

We headed up north to see some of the wonderful sights our great State has, the amazing scenery, the interesting history, the local characters, it's wonderful to see this part of Australia through the eyes of the local Geocachers.
Mt Augustus has been on our bucket list for a few years and now it has been ticked with a smile.
Up and out early in the morning before the heat set in, watching the colours come to life, watching the pre-dawn colours saturate the skies.
Driving out and about on these back roads made for a welcome stop here to enjoy the views of the wonderful Wildflowers.
The orchids here were beautiful.
The historical stories told here are an interesting reminder of the pioneering days gone by and their families.
We found your cache tucked away neatly, and with signing duties done and dusted, we replaced the cache as found.
Thanks for Coorow Primary School sharing this interesting spot, it was part of a great little Geocaching tour around town.

A nice little cache to break up the drive back to Perth. TFTC

Thanks Coorow Primary School, enjoyed my start at geocaching.

Heading to Geraldton for IGD with parkacruz and collecting a few smilies on the way of course. TFTC

An early morning start on our route up toward IGD19 with PP2, a plan was made to venture out of our way to fill up the area with smilies. A successful fun filled day and we are happy to say we came up trumps here and drove away with a smilie TFTC

Spotted on approach.

Quick find as we headed into Coorow to visit a friend.

With a few days off work it was time to head north and grab a few more caches to fill in my blank LGAs.
I was looking at the wrong level for this one. It wasn't until I stepped backed I spotted the obvious container, how did I miss that.
This was find number 6 for the day.

Another cache on our trip home on the Midlands Road. Tftc sl.

It’s starting to warm up now. I love the old container here.


A hot day out caching before Xmas. A great opportunity to get out in the country and clear out the cobwebs.

CoorowPrimarySchool SVKR_WA found your cache Orchids! today at 09:18:10 22 Dec 2018.

I am happy to have found it and thank you for placing it and adding to this great game.

This find brings my find count to 3348

Finally catching up on some logging from caches I found with B12 some time ago.

Coordinates changed from:
S 29° 52.055 E 116° 1.333

Coordinates changed to:
S 29° 52.062 E 116° 1.333

Distance from original: 42.6 feet or 13.0 meters.

We had originally placed in the fork of a tree, thinking this would be secure enough, but we had some rough weather and strong wind recently and realised that the tree fork was not suitable. We've relocated it to a different tree fork that is well protected and has many branches swirling upward around it to keep the cache firm in place.

Headed out super early today to pick up as many caches as possible. Definitely travelled a lot of kms today but worth the effort to see the green dots on the map turn into smileys. Most caches were found without to much problems with a few that took a bit of searching. Thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches.
Didn’t realise we were *FTF*

Out today to cleanup the new look after yourself series in alkimos and then heading further afield to Coorow and three springs to cleanup all the new caches around.

A nice day to be out with good sunshine and all caches found without too much fuss.

Thanks to the local COs for their hides.

Surprised to be joint **FTF** here.
