I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, andrew_mccoll, requesting additional time.

An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

##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 you

Messaged owner a couple of weeks ago offering to replace but haven't heard back, I think cache has been abandoned

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

(Late log) Checked absolutely everywhere, flipped cement slabs over as that's where it looked like it may have been going off of some of the pictures that have been posted in the logs but I think this cache is missing. Messaged CO but its been almost a week and no reply as yet

Thanks lovely view

DNF - the baby dugite put us off hunting too long

We did look all around the area but still found nothing

Great spot but have shoes!

Quick find TFTH

Found 20/08/2020
Easy find

Easy find with geogirlfriend Wendy. No pen so here is a photo of the log

Awesome find!

Great view a stone's throw away from the river

Easy find. Wear good shoes as there is lots of broken glass around

Found easily. Definitely not a small container

What a beautiful

After a stroll along the beach we found this cache.
TFTC

Worth it just for the view! Cache still in good condition

??

Up in Geraldton for IGD so we took the opportunity to collect a few more smilies, happy to say we came up trumps here and walked away with a smilie TFTC

IGD in Geraldton again with Barnzy12 in the passenger seat. We headed up late on Friday night with a “clean up” of remaining caches planned for the main day. Knowing from some posts that new caches would also be getting published today we knew we would be up for a bid day with the typical race. Our rest time was the event in the middle of the day. And a few hours in a basic motel. Sunday would also see a long day with minimal caches yet many KM travelled to find them! Thanks to all the CO’s for placing hides to be found.

Replaced container placed under some rocks

Up in Geraldton for the International Geocaching Day Event in Greenough.

We travelled up on the Friday evening after finishing work for the day. Up early Saturday morning to find a bunch of caches around town before working our way towards the historic settlement of Greenough going cache to cache.

We managed to pickup one FTF in the mornings batch before completing the caches on the list down towards Greenough. We enjoyed chatting with everyone at the event and the bbq lunch was great. After the event concluded we grabbed a few more caches before the phone started getting emails of all the new caches so we headed to the first one less than 300m from where we were and managed a FTF before being joined by fratra to collect another bunch of FTFs together before going to complete the adventure labs cache and then going our separate ways.

We continued along and cached our way back into town.

A huge thanks to West Oz Geocaching and Team Outnabout for hosting the event and the new caches aswell as the locals for their recent efforts in placing and maintaining a number of caches around town.

Thanks to the COs for their caches on this trip.

I have made contact with a local team to fix the container

Container needs replacing left small painting

Found the spot, and the view is amazing

Found it but the container was completely disintegrated and there was nothing left. TFTC anyway.

??

found

If you come looking, container needs replacing (maybe with a medium sized glass coffee jar)

The cache definitely needs servicing! Looking at the entries there was one going back to 2005. what a pity if it deteriorates to a point where it can’t be salvaged! If I’d had a spare container at hand I would have replaced it. Thank you for bringing me out here on such a pleasant day!

Thanks time ti replace the container bit weathered out cheers

Found!

Easy one but made for a nice Sunday drive

Tried to approach via Compny Rd but got blocked. So came from the North. No probs. Loads of udersize crabs in the river.
TFTC

Pretty easy find, being remote helps it be easy. Thanks from Canberra

Found it

Enjoyed the 4wd across the bar to the other side of the inlet. Quick find here with iluvtrekking. Thanks andrew mccoll

We spent the day around Cape Burney today, while the boys were riding the Greenough River Trail on their bikes, Mrs richlink and I set out on our own adventure.

Thanks for the cache andrew_mccoll.

Found him

Yeah great job joseph family

This was a fun find by pushbike this morning
No 4WD'ing required

Just a ride on me 1WD bicycle across the estuary mouth on the firm sand

And on t'other side a quick cache find [^]

How this can claim a terrain 1 rating is a mystery ??
Maybe you are putting a challenge out there to the 'wheelies' ??

TFTC.

??????

Finally found a catche

Since we were out this way.... TFTC

We didn't want to rosh getting our little car stuck in the sand so we walked over from the car park.

Luckily this was easy to spot, because we also decided to not wear shoes and the sand was HOTTTTTT! I had to piggy back my miss six up the dunes haha. Log book looking very sad and tattered.

Found this on Monday with pieces thrown around the dunes and path. Guessing some people were drinking around the dunes and found it, would have only happened a day or two earlier. We collected all we could find and put it back. Will drop off a new notepad next time we're in the area.

Found it, drove across the sand bank river mouth.

Number 13 today! Amazing view and clever hide! TFTC

Geocaching with the geograndkids aka paperfreak. Great view up here. Have never been on this side of the river before! TFTC. SL.

It was a lovely day and we found it with our nanna and pop reticbob TFTC

Nice trip over sandbar

Tftc

pug002 found it easily. Nice walk to the other side TFTC

A beautiful day for a walk across the sand to hunt for this cache. GeoL made to find before we could even get close. TFTC!

Found it, beautiful views

Found it

TFTC cheers nice view and nice eagle cheers from the jollyrogers

Found it! Great view

Found it while fishing nearby. Nice easy find TFTC

Great spot lovely walk kids and dogs happy to come in an adventure tftc

Took two turns but found it very exciting jane, Eloise and milo.

Our first family geocache and an easy find to get the hang of it. A lovely picnic spot after along the river.

Very easy, good views

Love a nice easy find TFTC

This cache was on the to-do list a couple of times already but never made it that far, Today was D-Day as we were early in the morning and it was not too hot yet and only a slight breeze. We parked our motorhome well before the soft sand and had a nice stroll over the beach. A great walk and amazing views. Cache was easily found, not suitable for a wheelchair-er though! We were closely watched by the neighboring Osprey (at least I guess it is) but he left us in peace. TFTC andrew_mccoll.

nice easy walk across sandbank to get to this one

We took the 4wd road along the river to see this cache the hard way. We also took the TB inside.
Thanks

Another great view of the river. Thanks for taking us there. Left green racing bus TB so hope it doesn't stay there too long

On our way from Perth to Darwin we saw many great things and places - many of them thanks to geocaching! We thank the owners for sharing their favorite spots with us by hiding their caches!

Nice walk

Quick find, nice view of the eagles nest.

Quick easy find and a great view bit hard to get things back in and hide it again.

TFTC beautiful view

Nice view

Finally an easy find.just killin a cupla hours.come thru this way reguarly to 4 wd.left a locals camp oven cooking card.she my mum..proud.look her up.didnt take anything. Off we go again. Hsve to get a bit savvier looking for these things

TFTF
Perfect day at the beach! Random find thanks to iphone app as I didn't have my GPS.

Took nothing, left nothing.

A shack here would be worth millions today. A vehicle was parked at GZ when we arrived so we parked at the lower level and took some photos of the nearby ospreys in their nest. We then made our way up the hill, camera in hand as GZ is also an excellent spot for photos of the birds. The vehicle eventually left but not before we had some nice photos...one of which we have included here.
The cache was quickly found and the log signed. Many thanks for bringing us here andrew mccoll [^]

what a wonderful spot. birds eye view of the river mouth and ocean tftc

Thanks for the hide. Would've been a great spot for a beach shack. Left marbles found along the way to the cache.

We agree with Team Outnabout, this would have been one prime bit of real estate and a great spot to just stop and enjoy the views, TFTC.

Wow. This would have been prime real estate back in 'the day.' The nearby Osprey nest was in use and the tenant wasn't very happy about us being there. Found the cache easily and enjoyed the magnificent view. No wind today so very pleasant. TFTC TNLN

beautiful view! one of my favorite kayaking spots. took pool ball keyring, left glass crab. tftc, lost_but_happy!

tftc - found it together with traveller999 - faselmatz

nice spot just in front of an osprey nest (great pictures) - tftc and a FP for ths location - traveller999 from Germany

Nice weather and a cooling walk through a bit of water at the river mouth to get to the southern side. Brought back a few memories as my wife and I had stayed in one of the shacks a long time ago. Easy find, took small coin and texta, left set of coloured pencils. Thanks for the hide Andrew.

Found at 2.30pm GAFF1. We were somewhat hesitant about this cache as it had not been found that often this year and also we were going to walk it as we could not be bothered unhitching the van from the 4wd.
So a nice walk around and across the mouth - does it flood here during high tide? - and a great spot was discovered where a shack used to be. Wonderful views.
Thanks andrew_mccoll.

Great view as promised

Nice find, thanks for the view.
TFTC

found with purzzzelbaum.
tftc!

Its great whn a cache leads you to a lovely place you would not have normally visited.
Our GPS was in meltdown trying to lead us to this cache and we had given up, then went down to the river mouth to find a picnic spot for lunch and there it was on the other side of the river. Lucky we hadn't turned the GPS off.
A lost cache then became a simple drive by.

Beware of lots of muggles on motorbikes.
Another nice place.
Took a small wooden soldier from Germany (nutcracker) left a party popper.

Perth 10.12. I had the wrong car to drive around to this one, so I walked around. Looked like a popular spot. People about fishing and walking. Thanks.

A bit drama on way to Geraldton...about 40 kms before while I was driving the trooper...suddenly it swerved dangerously..I thought it was a strong willy or something before realising that one of the tyres blew up..Mr Bushies2 yelled at me to put the brake on and stop...phew!! The rear tyre was completely tattered and bits of tyre scattered along the highway. Anway after changing the tyre we continued to hunt this cache....thanks Moneybox's log which gave us an idea about okay to drive through the mouth of river...nice and easy drive..easy find by us. Thanks andrew mccoll for the great view and hunt.
