I am archiving this cache due to the unfortunate lack of action taken to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, team_lethlean, requesting additional time.Despite ample opportunities provided for the Cache Owner to respond, their silence leads me to the conclusion that the cache has been abandoned.In such cases, archived caches will not be unarchived, and as a result, this location is now open for the placement of a new cache by another interested party.Thanks,BalayangCommunity Reviewer - Australia
Please review if location accurate and cache still in place - we had an extensive look with no success
##Cache Maintenance Required please.##This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs. The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance). If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on. When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided. If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Thank youBalayangCommunity Reviewer -Australia
That was a new one for me, and took a bit of searching. Glad I persevered.
Turtley found it

Luckily I’ve come across this type of cache before so didn’t take too long to find TFTC
Out for a first to find in Ballajura and then picked up a few other caches in the area on a bit of a night run with the Cockburn Crew.
Not many hiding spots so figured it out quickly. If you weren’t so experienced it would probably be more difficult. Cheers team_lethlean!

Out and about again, teamed up with the Cockburn Crew and headed to Malaga zone and a FTF.
Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today
Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

With a keychain ring for a tool we made a retrieval!!! Tftc. Loving this little park area
had to look at every single log and eventually found it.. my advice is don't think about it too hard
We didn't bring tools with us and just checked it out. Might go back with some tools for next time!
Could not figure out where this one was! Was it behind the lakes sign? Someone help lol
After obtaining a clue, I returned to GZ and made the find.
Without the clue, I would have had absolutely no chance! The position that I found the cache in was more hidden than I imagine the CO intended, but some pressure applied to the host and the use of an appropriate tool did the trick.
The log sheet is now completely full and quite damp. I signed where a previous signature had faded.

Very tricky took me ages and in a last ditch attempt before leaving turned my head and saw it -_-
Unless the tool required is a shovel, I'm fresh out of options based on where the coordinates sent me.
As usual Hawkeye spotted this one and extraction was tricky...
Very sneaky - he likes it TFTC
We think deserving of a higher degree of difficulty than 1.5

Found It thanks for a great find, took us a while to figure it out with Kazma61 & Ambyfergs
So if we can’t holiday in Bali we might as well Geocache ... out with the newly wed Graceling123 and her best girl Ambyfergs converting some greens to yellow . Weather cooler and dodging the muggles during the school holidays. Great sneaky spot TFTC
Found and signed it. Had a good look as I had no idea what sort of cache to look for. But eventually found it.
macgyver in me manage to retrieve the log without the tools it's possible but definitely not easy.
Ps: when it says tools it doesn't mean sledgehammer or grinder

Another Team_Lathlean cache found, some quick finds some took a little longer. TFTC a fave for this one.
This one really had us stumped for a bit!! Searched all around the correct location. With no tools in the pouring rain we spotted it and with sheer force and determination got it out together!! Never seen a cache like this, log signed!! TFTC
My god! We found it eventually! Out with jazzibelle101 for a few quick caches, with no tools, in the pouring rain searched for ages but no luck, then finally.. I see the sneaky thing and we managed to retrieve it definately keeping tweezers in the car from now on tftc!
Quick find while out with Camanda and a mate walking the dogs to finish off the lakes. Tftc
Thank you! Took dad for a stroll around the lakes. All caches looked for were found, with some much harder than others. Good think I had my geocaching bag with me - it took forever the find the cache, but I got my hands on it as soon as it was spotted.
Didn't have the ToT the CP intended to be used but Deefa71 had something in his wallet which assisted retrieval. TFTC 
Thursdays used to be Mr and Mrs O's cache by bike day but Mr O got a proper job 
I did enjoy caching this area by bike though. Very quiet and some good, away from the cars, paths.
This was find 5 of 12 finds with one DNF and a 10km bike ride.
Made a bad assumption on my way here and almost serached the gazebo from top to toe but thankfully not. Unlike KimMorley I had thrown the caching kit in my bag and soon had the log in hand.

Yay. Found this one eventually but didn't have my geo bag with my ToT. Thankfully I had something in my phone case that did the trick. Great hide. TFTC
Took me a while to sort out where the cache would be, the trees, or shrubs or others as I'm in middle of GZ. Had another look at again before found the invisible hide. TFTH
Met up with Neva2old to grab all the team lethlean caches in Ballajura and enjoyed the variety of camouflage and containers. Managed to find the lot of them, some of which required a bit of help!
Good variety and a nice drive through the area.
Thanks Team Lethlean.

Meet up with Barnzy12 to grab a pile of smileys here. Cause he is such a gentleman he he all the climbing , jumping fences and fossicking in the scrub. Happy to say that we managed to find all the caches. I’m very impressed with all the inventiveness of the caches tftc
Loved it so neat job - glad bring my own tools to extract this cache, so happy to signed the log.
Thanks for excellent hide the cache - Fav from me

Thankfully Everlasting had the right tool (she travels with pretty much every tool a cacher could ever need!), since I carry nothing except a GPSr and a pen. Thanks for the hide.
Read some logs to narrow this one down. Luckily we had a perfect tool on hand and got it out quickly. TFTC team_lethlean
Coords took me to a sign, couldn't find anything here. Checked the nearby seat but no joy
Took a few minutes and a quick message to a previous finder.
Was in the right location, just didn't look hard enough. Had tools but still took a while to extract. TFTC

The CO very quickly and kindly responded to our dnfs with the offer of a nudge on each of them. We gratefully accepted and returned on our way home for another look.
Returned to our GZ and it took a while to spot and even longer to retrieve. Very clever.
TFTC team_lethlean this is find #9105 for us.
