Since the owner of the cache hasn't contacted me, I'm reluctantly archiving this cache. If the owner wants to reinstate this cache, they should contact the reviewer that first published the cache.

This cache has been out of action for over six months. Time to archive?
 
Looks like mugglers got this one. May need to relocate.

We discovered the cache out in the open with no lid and no contents. Found a plastic bad and pencil sharpener nearby but nothing else. Not to sure what to do so we hid it back under the tree and thought it best to post a log of the possible muggled cache.

Having stopped for lunch in Katanning a few days ago and not being bothered to do this cache, we thought that maybe we should make the effort. The place must have looked very different in the past! Nice easy find. Thanks Phil & Sigrid Justrackin.

My first Cache find. Lots of fun to mountain bike around. Took the fire truck, and left a shoelace for someone to work out distances on their maps.

Last of five caches found over motorcycling weekend. Stayed in pub in town last night, had brekkie this morning at the TDG cafe on Clive Street - great food and service. Walked to the cache - very nice area and easy find.

This was the first of our 10 caches on Holland Track adventure. Had made our way to Katanning on Friday night for an early start. Then we decided to grab some extra provisions and waited for the shops to open.

Found the cache easily with no muggle distraction.

Thanks Phil & Sigrid

An interesting cache. I took the wrong cache sheet with me when I left the car and at first wondered why I couldn't see the Chevy wool truck. So I had to rely on the entered coordinates, which luckily were spot on. I had to go round in circles to get to it due to the water. On the way I was seriously swooped by a nesting magpie. I crawled down the tunnel under the bush to retrieve the cache and was still under it when a group of young, female muggles appeared. I had a choice of withdrawing backwards and appearing miraculously or lurking in the bush and probably being seen anyway. I decided on the former as better concealing the cache and gave them a real surprise.

we were on our way to the Holland track so we stopped off to buy some essentials at the bakery. While in the town we hunted out the cache. We parked nearby in a suitable street and were able to keep our car in view the whole time even if we were on the far side of a water course. Took Geoegg coin and added the Cricket keyring.

Had turned off the main road to have another quick check of Katanning. Last time we were here I don't think the other two were here. It was a quick easy walk followng the directions given.

Thanks for the cache
