Called by yesterday evening to check in on the cache. The cache has gone and the cache hiding spot has been comprised, read damaged. I don't believe that a cache can be now hidden in the original spot, without being quickly muggled. There is a possible hiding spot nearby, but not a great spot - not one that I would be keen on. Hence the suggested archive unless the owners can investigate or someone would like to adopt.

cache missing, location damaged

Have put in a adoption request. Assuming that is appoved or in fact either way, will look to get this back up and going within a week.

Plenty of no finders..owner hasnt responded.

Six no finds in a row.
This needs a check

awaiting reply from owners.

I thought it was my inexperience until I came back and read the logs. Me thinks missing too.

I must remember when travelling interstate to check the recent logs. I also looked on 20/12/05. Arnty B had a look as well. We found 5 golfballs but no cache. Great views, Thanks Anyway - UNKA DAVE

This has definately gone. I was here months before with Dangerducks and we found it easy.

Might be an idea to temporarily disable while you check it out and/or replace cache.

Gave this one a go as was near. Did not find, looked in, around and up all the paperbarks, found 4 golf balls but no cache!!! Being a hot day no muggles were around so was able to have a thorough search.

POOP council blokes everywhere looked for tens of minutes oh well when we come bck to WA will try again
thanks Acko

Spent about 15 minutes searching, but ended up giving up (was a bit freaked out by the prospect of the snakes
Didn't notice the hint after getting home.. Argh!!

Great day out, good find - nice little possie in amongst the trees. Took Australia koala, left ladybug stickers.

Easy find when we got the correct tree!
Took: Toy dog
Left: Coaster

Chwiliwr pointed out the cryptic log of PaddyK to me and I thought why not go and see. So I went and sure enough he had left something. Signed log for the cache and then went to find the little green man. Thanks PaddyK for leaving the present.

The log book of the cache has only a few pages left and there is nothing left inside the cache to write with so it will need to be fixed sometime soon.
TNLN TFC Trekkers.

To think I could've knocked this one off a long time ago if only I had the co-ordinates plugged into the old GPSr back when I did "I Yam What I ...".

A pleasant return visit to a great spot.

Note: Log book is down to the last couple of pages and will need replacing soon.

Took: Nothing!
Left: Nothing! (or did I?)

Called by on a travel bug raid and picked up Fishing Buddy. Cache was a bit exposed, but covered it up now. All in good condition.

Found at 1.20pm. Nice walk the path, T:N L: TB Fishing Buddy. SL. Thanks The Trekkers for the hunt.

Found this one at 1450 Great views of Perth City skyline took some good pics. Took Australia Keyring to leave in Borneo and left Wine bottle pourers & string puzzle. Thanks

Exciting find today. Kids took steam boat and wishing stones. Left toy and star wars somethings.

Was here after ewoks and did this whilst passing on the way to the next waypoint on the nearby multi.
TNLN
Thanks for the cache.

Found it without too many problems. Our first find ever! Which was a bit exciting.

Found this one quickly and easily on a quick walk from the office i was training in over the road. Decided i was all alone with not a soul in site, and had the cache spread out on the ground near it's hiding spot trying to remove an ant or two when an oldish fella power walked past me and said hi - luckily he didn't seem to be very interested in what i was doing (tho it must be strange seeing someone dressed in buisness attire parked on the side of a path searching thru a container full of junk...)

Cache is nice and dry, I put the log book in the zip lock bag as it was feeling ever so slightly damp. Cache is somewhat ant infested.. a little surface spray wouldn't go astray:)

Left a calling card - nice little collection forming there!

Thanks for the cache!
T.

Our first - the clue helped !

A nice location. This was our first geocache, we were quite excited to make the find. We are hooked.

Not a pony in sight today, so an easy find without any much subterfuge required.
No swaps.
What a nice bit of swampland so close to the industrial centre of Osborne Park.

Found at 12:50pm on my 2 day visit to Perth. I was pleasantly surprised to find this location as I had lived in Perth for 13 years previously and never had the occasion to visit the area. I appreciated the lake, the ducks and opportunity to find another cache. I swapped a first-aid book out for a souveniour key-ring.

I've never seen bark quite like this before - natural paper!
+ Rubber Stamp TB
- spinning king
Thanks The Trekkers

Dropped in here on my way through to Trigg Or Treat (GCJT3M). A hard days GeoCaching. I think this was my third hunt for the day.

No one around. Sweet!

Had so much trouble trying to find this cache. I don't know what went wrong, couldn't get a good fix. Trees? Solar flares? UFOs? My human error? More than likely me.

I will return.

Dropped TB Hard Rock Graupie who wants to visit cities with Hard Rock Cafes and TB Straw Turtle who is in a race to get to Australia. Didn't have access to the web and logged it as soon as possible. It's good news to see that they are already on the move again. Thanks to Belken for helping them on their way.

Found ok on the trip round the lake.

Took Two travel bugs Left Memo block

Good spot

Thanks for the hunt

Found it without too much trouble. Luckily there was no Pony Club meeting so Muggles were no problem. I have been passed this location often, but never knew there was a Pony Club here.

T toothpicks, L Koala. There are now 2 different Koalas in this cache.

Thanks Trekkers for enlightening me about something I didn't know about this great city of ours.

Although Mrs Westy saw a sign saying that there were snakes to be found in this area we found the cache easily.
Took - Merlion (it reminded us of our honeymoon in Singapore) and Cache warrior TB

Thanks for the cache

Visited the cache to drop of Cache Warrior 1: Call Sign (A)LPHA Travel Bug. Cache is in good condition. Andrew

Found cache... no probs, great location.
TN - left yoyo and our calling card. Thanks. 16:45

Found this neat little one after Glendalough Open Space. Nice spot- there were some muggles throwing a frisbee and a guy putting golf balls- but there was no drama- no one even batted an eyelid.

Team Red Devil.

Was doing a couple of other caches in the area so dropped in to do this one as well. Logged it pretty quickly due to it's proximity to the trail and TNLN.

Thanks.

We just got back from down south yesterday and the goekids were over at someone elses house so decided to take the dog for a walk around Herdsman Lake, had the GPSr in the car and decided to do this cache as I have been meaning to for a while. Cache is in fine condition. TNLN. Thanks for the adventure.

Well this is my first cache for 2005, and I had to pick such a hot day. Off to the beach after this. Found cache with no probs. Nice area with nice views.

We bagged this cache as we walked past it whilst doing 'I yam what I yam'.

Dropped by to release one of our collected TB's but Elmo's stay was a brief one! ... the Adventure continues.

Found this one to enable us to take a break from "I yam what I yam' had a great walk today, saw a couple of snakes but they were soon gone when they saw us.

We've been waiting for some time to get over this way to log this cache. Found easily, though the coords appeared out a smidgen, but that was probably due to the tree cover. Thanks to The Trekkers for the cache, with great views of Perth and of course, the Pony Club.

Found without too much trouble on the way home. Checked a couple of places before finding the cache but it didn't take long.

Took nothing, left golf ball (found during the search).

A quick find on the way home...Where are the ponies?
TNLN

Popped in at 10pm with Elvis77 on the way home, trying out his new toy (Venture). Found after a bit of a hunt. TNLNSL

Did a night time raid and paid the price walking thru the polo field!!
TNLN

I found this with the help of Devar the 2nd time around,
Its been a few months since i found it. Just totally forgot to log it.. **i do that sometimes** Devars always reminding me
Anyway Cant remember what ti swaped,, But i do remember the Hippies in the camprervan.. Devar will back me up on this one..

Found on a cold, windy, rainy miserable day, but still it was fun. No one around except for very keen golfer practising his drives into a serious headwind. Took 8 ball keyring, left dice.

Found with Aushiker and Minibenkst.

Found with Aushiker and Surfs_up. My second cache!

Found our second cache! Young Cameron (9 years old) got this one. Saw signs of tramping down of the reeds, but still needed the hint to narrow things down. We still need to learn to think geocaching First thought that as the water levels had risen, the cache was "drowning." Thankfully not. Thanks for this cache; nice views. Kids enjoyed themselves. One point, it is a high traffic area, so cache needs to be well hidden. Left hacky and singaporen badge. Took golf ball and pencil.

Picked TB: Tecnics up for a tour

Found no problems, nice place to go walking
Took Tackle
Left pkt chalk and glitter pen

A great short walk and easy find to walk off 'dim sum' lunch. Dropped off Tecnics TB and picked up Shorty TB

This is my second visit to this cache, this time with my better half so we have logged it in the book, quick visit to drop of Shorty after his service.
Left TB Shorty and container of tooth pick , took Koala bear.

Ian & Jill

Found @ 1pm 1.35pm after having lunch
no much activity happening here today with the drizzle. different view of Perth from here.
Took nothing left Koala
Thanks The Trekkers.

TNLN

Caching at night again in a strange city. Well, Perth isn't that strange. It was a beautiful night for a stroll in the park. I located the cache at 1830 and went on my way. Thanks for the cache, Trekkers.

IN: Toy car
OUT: Bob the Builder spoon

Furthering my friend Ian’s geocaching experience we went for this one. Ian found it on his own this time. Well done.

Entered our visit in the log book, left calling card and a green cricket that fits on the end of your pencil. NO NAUGHTY THOUGHTS PLEASE. Took nothing. Nice place for a cache.

Les & Jan plus Ian.
The Flybys

Good spot

This is one you need to keep a close eye on the muggles they were everywhere, but no ponies !!
Found it easily but retrieving it took some time.
Took - Piggy
Left - Collectors Spoon
Thanx for the hunt Trekkers.

Found it! Only one travel bug in it, now there are none.

We removed Travel Bug KEY-WEE which may now get a trip to America. Probably in the San Francisco area.

Mike and Wendy

The horse people were around so it was tough to hide in the weeds since I was in plain view. Just about to give up and on my way out but looked one more place, and suddenly I saw it! The guy in an old TV series called Sea Hunt used to say that. I saw Slyvester the TB and just had to take him home for a day. Dropped off TB Keywee.

[This entry was edited by The Cache Rangers on Sunday, May 02, 2004 at 4:49:40 PM.]

Passed by and couldn't resist to have a look at Travel bugs. Ulster Slyvester decided and wants to stay abit longer to enjoy the scenery. Wilson is being lifted up for sightseering Perth.

Found it easily after a short search. It was well hidden and the cache was jam-packed with lots of interesting goodies. We dropped of Travel Bugs Wizmedic's Wilson (TB2F4) and Ulster Slyvester (TB27AF). Wilson wants to travel to America. Slyvester wants to return to Ireland. Please help these fellows on their way. Took nothing from the cache. The pencil failed us halfway through writing in the logbook. (Could someone please take a sharpener on their next visit to the cache?) Thanks for a great cache!

5.00pm: Luckily there were no walkers in sight and it has been very quiet moment when the cache was found. TNLNSL Great location and wildlife. Thanks.

Called into this cache whilst doing maintenance at our nearby cache. I drive past here often and never seem to have the time to stop and get the cache. It's nice to be back out finding them again - thanks.

Our first cache !!!

Received my new Meridian GPS unit this afternoon, got it up and running and found this cache is within 3 km of home.

Took my daughter around sunset. It is still 35C+ after a 41C day. 4th hottest March day on record.

An easy find , even though it was almost completely dark.

T: Glider, Trekkers Card (one left).
L: Nothing as the box was too small for the item I took along.

Cache is in good condition and still well hidden.

Found it on the second try! A very clever hiding spot - we had investigated the entire periphery of the spot, and failed to find the cache the first time - despite being within 1 foot of it! Went home, and came back the next day after reading the hint. Did we feel silly.

A great spot for birding, and a nice place for a walk. Took craft knife and card, left stickers, glider and helicopter toys.

Ahh finally found it. Hard to believe with all the searching that went on last attempt this spot wasn't looked at. Cache in good condition, I like the drink-holder securing the lid. Thanks for the hunt!

Found this cache in good condition, traded a couple of items. It took a little while to find as my co-ords seemed a little out, once I read the hint though it was easy, such a nice spot close to the city.
Thanks

Spent ages here, looked everywhere, but to no avail. I bet the cache was actually there, where we've now read where it is... arrgh! Next time cache, next time!

It took a while to locate this one - well hidden but it needs to be.

Someone has used a waterbottle holder to secure the lid - a very original idea we thought. I dont know whether it was more of a challenge to find the cache or replace the lid as there are some rather large items inside. It reminded me of one of those wooden puzzle things that you can never quite seem to get back together. ha ha.

A great view of Perth from a different angle.

Thanks.

Sue

Got here at 6pm and at that time of day we didn't need to worry about nosey hikers or park goers. Just needed to watch out for wayward golf balls. 3rd find for the day, all found with no difficulty to ease us back in to this. Jasmine went camera shy today so a skyline view from the cache instead.
Took nothing but left a phone & computer surge protector. These things are expensive but I just don't use it anymore.

We paid a visit to Etamoogah pub before tackling this one on the meander home. Nice place that, but I remember it used to have it's own beer...... Needless to say it was well nigh seven o'clock at night when we found the pony club. Amazing walk along the water course where ducks were being amorous and the last of the sun was setting the buildings of Perth ablaze. It was really quiet and the twilight was adding a crispness to the air, I thought I was in heaven for a bit and then we found the cache and I knew I was because I got some more rivets!!!! Second haul today... very auspicious. We exchanged them for a very shiny keyring. Thanks Trekkers, seriously nice spot for a geocache.

9:10am. Saturday. While we were hunting for this cache we found a golf ball so we added this to the contents and took out MacDonald’s spinning top toy. The cache is only a short walk from the carpark and you and if you go in the morning like we did you will find the area quiet and peaceful. The view toward Perth in the distance is interesting. Coordinates seemed to be a small amount out but as there were only limited places you could hide a cache it wasn’t that hard to find as long as you don’t mind thrusting your hand into unknown territory.

a nice easy find today.

found today with dads help.[:o)]

found easily. Great spot
T:motorbike
L:keyring

This site not to far from home so wondered down today to have a look. Great spot, the coordinates where spot on, did not know if the reading would be out at the moment what with all this solar flare activity from the sun supposedly effecting navigation at the moment. Dug around with a stick first then quickly reached in and grabbed it. Just made an entry in log book.

After looking around the tree for a few moments, I realized my fears were true. Not wishing to start digging around the grass without being sure though, I decided to decrypt the hint. Yep, I would have to face my fears and put my hand into a place I couldn't see. Add onto that the signs warning of Tiger Snakes and yeah, I was paranoid.

After carefully peering into the fork, I found the prize. Removing it as quickly as possible, I was again reminded why this sport is so great! I had found the cache! As I have been a budget traveller for the past few months now, I carry the bare minimum with me, so what I took was the electrical tape around the outside of the box (to throw away) and what I left was a log book entry.

Thank you guys for the cache!

Chris

Well, forgot to pull the tape off and discard, but was a very interesting find nonetheless. Wasn't real sure about poking around with my hands trying to find the cache, glad someone left a convenient stick nearby!

Wasn't actually planning to visit this cache when we did, we were actually looking for the UBS store to get some maps when I pulled out my GPS, and lo and behold.....

Since we're here from the US, grabbed the Graceland T/B to carry him back over the pond. Took nothing else, left only a logbook entry.

Good cache, first one to find down under!

Regards,
Ron NN5DX + Ron K5LLL

Yep we used Duck tape. Found at 5.30pm in the fork of a paperbark tree like you said, but had to look a little. Left cappaccino key ring, first aid book, Elvis the T/B (Home to Graceland III), grandies took screwdriver and we took Duckie the T/B who is now travelling with us. Thanks Trekkers.
