This cache was still there . So owner maintainance has been done and it has been checked.
Found while in the area for a few days before heading home to NSW. Thanks for the cache
Found while having a few day R&R after completing E2E on the bibbulmum track. Heading back to NSW during the week. Thankyou for your contribution to geo caching . Cache replaced. under and up. Feel
Had a good look as far as we could. Too many weeds for a cache to hide behind. Our thanks anyway to ringtailposs.
A lovely location. Spent about 20 min searching. Im just not looking in the right spot! Thank you for bringing me to this location
We couldnt find it but did find these bits which could be related to the cache? From pics and descriptions these could be parts of the cache, Id say the clean up of the recently fallen trees may have destroyed the cache or workers might have picked up the other bits. Beautiful bit of boardwalk and definitely worth a look if anyone else is keen to check the area again though
WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 52 - Bunbury Day 4. After a day trip away yesterday and a night of rain , I had a day of caching around Bunbury in mind today. I started with an eScooter trip into town to do some Labs and a few remaining city caches. After that it was into the car and out into the now very sunny day to cache to the South West, including a few busy retail areas that may be difficult on work days. I enjoyed the lake and saw some more beaches before a few short hill climbs. .After failing at the last one on this lake, I was really happy that this one had been replaced recently and that I was able to find it quickly. Even though a tree has fallen over the boardwalk just near it.Thanks for the cache ringtailposs47774.9 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2000 Finds Achievement A#125**Albida**
### 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 ringtailposs 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
Found it, but unfortunately looks to have been muggled. Log book has disintegrated so could not sign. Replaced as found.TFTC
Grey box. Seems to have lost a few pieces. But this was our first find so was absolutely amazing.
Up in Bunbury for the day, a bit hot but the aircon at the shopping centre was a great bonus for a refreshing cold drink after finding these few caches.TFTC
Found it nice and low. Find 2 fr our visit to beautiful Bunbury. Geo wife 2, geo husband 0.

Awesome find and nice walk around 2nd catch in our walk around the duck pond thank you
Hooray! Perfect little hunt on a gorgeous day . Was worried I’d have to leave the boardwalk (I don’t wanna disturb the bird life) but was able to access the cache right from the path. Cache was smaller than expected; about matchbook sized. By the log, it looks like someone else came today as well! Hope they saw the beautiful egret not far down the path. Thanks for a lovely cache (my second find ever!) in a beautiful location ️
It was easy to find but it was not there the past 5pr 6 times I went to look for it
I was hoping for some quick finds on such a day as hot as this. I looked at this cache and thought it should fit the bill.
After getting another cache first it was time to walk the final stretch to GZ. Once I got there I thought I knew what to look for. But that didn’t mean I could find it quickly. I started slowly, not knowing what else may be in there. After checking a length on one side, I crossed and checked the other. After that I was still empty handed. It was too bright in the sun, and too dark in there to see well. But I resorted to peering between the boards and was eventually rewarded.
I moved to some shade to sign the log. After putting the cache back as I found it I explored the boardwalk out into the swamp.

All the long grass has been slashed so I was worried this cache may have been disturbed. Found eventually tucked away safe and sound. Lovely peaceful spot to sit on the boardwalk and sign the log before continuing my walk.
Hi there ringtailposs, I searched high, low, far and wide
But couldn’t find this hide!
The cache itself, wouldn’t show
I’ll have to come back to have another go.
I missed it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.
Maybe it’s somewhere very near.
It wasn’t where I thought it would be, so I guess thats a DNF for me!

Our third attempt at this find because nobody wanted to get in the long grass.
We've added a new log in a bag.

Our last day in Bunbury before we head south and home. A beautiful winters day so great to clear up the last of the unfound caches on our ‘to do’ list. Thanks for the hide.
Tftc. Kookaburras were laughing at us trying to find it. Dreaded rummage was true, persevered and found it.
Thank you for the cache ringtailposs/falcon351, one of my last finds for the WAGB weekend!
