Being really time poor at the moment so I’m gonna let this one go.
Hopefully some one can make use of the location.

I’ve got some annual leave coming in a couple of weeks so will be heading out to do my maintenance then.
Sorry for the inconvenience

Had planned to head out this weekend but with the weather drenching, will need to park that idea. Will head out in a couple of weeks and sort it.
Apologies for the delay

###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 Kyzabra 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.
Thank you

Unfortunately I did not find it today, I’ll be sure to visit again for another attempt.
Thank you Kyzabra for the challenge.

Couldn’t find, not sure if missing or I’m bad. Either way was good fun. Hope to come back and find another day
Doing a bunch of caches around south west Western Australia. TFTC.
The lid hinge is broken but I managed to close it tight with the green wires.

No luck with this one today either. Maybe we just missed it but gave it a good crack
Not sure if kids have got to it. A lot of Gatorade bottles found in the area
Tried to find but I suspect this one may be stolen. Lots of rubbish discarded around area.
I walked to this cache from a nearby cache that I’d just found. The birds were on song, but not very visible unfortunately. When I got to GZ my GPSr pointed to a clear area. So I started by expanding the search.
I checked numerous places, but no cache appeared. Around I went again and noticed recent evidence of inconsiderate people and wondered if they’d interfered with the cache.
The previous log suggested not, as it was very recent. So I searched again, stopping only to take photos of the mushrooms that were aplenty.
I was beginning to think I may have to move on empty handed. Then I looked in a spot for the second time, and this time I spotted the cache.

What a lovely wander around picking up smileys and this is one I found dodging showers this morning. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk on the good surfaced track and all caches were found. I am not sure what has happened here as the cache was eventually found not where I had expected it to be. It is at ground level and not tethered. The lid was open and is broken. I did it up as best I could. The log was still inside and nice and dry. I put it back where I found it though I don’t think that is where it was meant to be. Thanks Kyzabra for this one.
Out picking up a few local caches after the SOR event; an easy find but we’ll away from the GZ. Relocated to agreed coordinates TFTC
Found - Barton Clan.
GPS is sketchy in this area. Was around 8 mtrs from where GPS took me.

Out for an afternoon walk with our grandaughter and introducing our nephew and his family to geocaching.
This one didn't take as long as the others to find and we were soon on our way to the next one.

Another gem of a walk hidden among suburbia.

Life has been hectic but I haven’t forgotten.
Hope to get out in the next few weeks for a full maintenance run.

Chwiliwr and I came down to Baldivis for caching today. Enjoyed the small walks and the wherigo caches. Caches found without problems.
The container and log book was very wet. Will need replacing.
Logs signed and caches returned as we found them.
Thanks Kyzabra for placing this cache for us to find.

Thanks you heaps! We had heaps of fun we are off home now but this find was nice and tricky SUPER TRICKY
Have been past here a few times but never had a serious look as I’ve had students with me.
Today it took a little while to finally spot the cache as I had been looking on the other side of the grove about 10m away (cover overhead probably accounts for the inaccuracy).
Mr T took the opportunity to retrieve this one and as we were signing mum noticed a rather large but beautiful orb spider web just above our heads. Once the cache was replaced we took some time to admire the handy work of the spider before heading on our way to the next one.

With the younger members of team Cirrus getting a little stir crazy after a weekend at home the whole family decided to head out for our hour of exercise to grab some caches.
With Mr B coming along it was decided to find somewhere with good paths and a good number of caches to find. So after checking the map it was decided to head this way.
Everyone had a great time out, with everyone claiming a find. We finished with 5 finds and 0 DNF’s

Thanks Kyzabra for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 2869 for me.

Took a little while for Geo-Rabbit to spot this little fella. Log sheet / book requires maintenance, CO informed. Left temp log sheet. Signed temp log sheet, TFTH TFTC replaced as found ready for the next geo-adventurers. Thanks goes to the CO, Kyzabra, for this cache and bringing us to this location. Cheers.
Out and about for a scoot in the southern suburbs.
A great little area Wetlands tucked away, with plenty to explore.
The great big old gnarly paperbarks and huge gum tree.
Thanks for sharing this interesting location.

While I was completing a compulsory work seminar in Vic Park, geo-hubby met up with iluvtrekking for a day caching south of the river. This was one of the many finds they made. Thanks Kyzabra
Out and about with richlink collecting a bunch of solved puzzles and other caches we passed along the way.
Mr richlink and Mr ILT did the Wetlands Wandering today.

Accompany with K.B. Enjoyed myself for the day with her company - mostly she found all caches before me signed the log as KB, EV.
Thanks Kyzabra for the cache and hunt. [^]

The name of this one is super appropriate... the log is rather wet. Fortunately, atCapacity handled the container and wrote the names so my hands stayed nice and dry. Thanks for the nice walk and cache Kyzabra!
Quick find here. Managed to find the lid on the ground so replaced the cache intact. TFTC Kyzabra
Found but not where it should be. Returned to where it fits cache page description. TFTC.
Cache was found out in the open, lid off and full of water. Log book needs a couple of hours out in the sun. Cannot sign as is. Returned cache up high as per listing close to zero metres.
A mixed day of caching on bike, foot, and a few park and grabs in the Baldivis area. Started off early in the morning and finished just after lunch, with around 30 new smileys on my map.
Cache was found, signed and replaced.

This was our first time geocaching and the girls and I just found this amazing wetlands ! Fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors and keep entertained thank you
After seeing some DNF’s I thought my luck would be out. On walking towards GZ with the hint in mind, the solid metal cache was a quick find. Heaps of ants below it. TFTC
Thanks for the cache. Found while on a walk with the kids. Good day for it no muggles
