As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

checked the site after reading the last logs an some low down scum has taken it so i am disabling this cache for awhile sorry

We had help with this one from someone who's been here before, but it turns out it's gone.

No sign of it... Located where it should be... Darn. -Team Rushwell.

Great spot we stopped there for lunch and fed the ducks.We took the Brett Staker chip and placed in a silver photo frame.

lovely picnic spot, easy find, thanks

Stopped to find this easy little gem on our way home from a visit to Abingdon Miniature Village on ANZAC Day. Dad logged the visit, mum took official photos, while the kids did their thing with the 'treasure'.
Took: blue dragon, lizard, 2 x toy cars
Left: star keytag, catseye marble, 2 x AFL Chipz
A beautiful spot by the Murray River - TFTH.

NICE LITTLE WALK EZY FIND

Like the previous finders we didnt see the Critter coin in the cache.
We found the cache easily and replaced the container it was in as it was cracked from the sun. We always try to carry a spare for just this reason. We bagged it (same old bag) and did a bit of maintainence that we wont mention on here as it will give the location away.
Cache is pretty full of nice goodies. We took nothing but added the Billy goat "Near A River" TB.
Thanks for the interesting Hide.

Dropped off TB "No Gruff" the goat

Nice hide

Nice area.

Surrogate find with Richard ..... he is sucked in now !

Took nothing, left blood courtesy of the mozzies.

Took a little bit of finding - found in clever place. Similar to the last one we found in Pinjarra.

Nice spot for an extended walk...

Pleasant walk to an easy find in a good hiding spot. Took a geocaching gaming chip and left a folding mirror. Retrieved $5 note TB. Thanks for the cache Explorers 5.

Out for the day with ZuesAl, quick easy find after some ingenius thinking by GeoAl. We may be height challenged but that didn't stop us getting another find.

Janale Girls

Another one that Zues enjoyed, so much so that he didn't want to come back to the car.

Lots of scaly wildlife close by but fortunately not in the hollow that the cache was in. With some lateral thinking by Al we were able to find the cache even though we didn't directly lay our eyes on it.

Thanks for the cache

Thanks to the engineers and support crews from Mischief's Crew and 3BlindEyes who have done a great job with some repairs to this cache. It is now back up and running for all cachers to find
thanks

Well this one turned out to be a feel good. We were out with 3BlindEyes and did a little hunt for the cache and Mal successfully found the cache in a slightly difficult position - but with a bit of brute strength got the cache. When we realised the cache had been disabled due to a thought muggling we got the 'feel good' feeling at being able to advise that the cache is fine and dandy, along with the coin sitting in there quietly waiting for someone to find it again.

Gav and Mal did a little bit of 'engineering' work and got the cache back to its original position. It was really funny watching them - wish I could post photos but they would be spoilers.

To make it even better when they had finished Mal had been standing on a little something at times to assist in the engineering, well it gave way and poor Mal went flying. The sad part on that one was I had just put the camera down and so I did miss out on that classic photo. One has learnt keep the camera at the ready AT ALL TIMES!

TNLNSL and report all AOK!

Re-visited this cache today at 11:40am while out caching with Mischief's Crew. Silent1 says that this cache has been disabled for the last 10 months due to it being muggled, but it's still there safe and sound as I found it! It did take us a while to retrieve it though. The cache is still in good nick and Gav and I did some repairs while we were here. Cant say too much to give it away but I will email the owner with more details. Left nothing but I took CENT5's "European Union 2005" geocoin which was still safely in the cache. I'm sure it's owner will be pleased it has turned up again! Thanks for the cache. This cache can be re-enabled now as it is fine and ready to be found again. Cheers, Mal

went to check cache after reading the last log the watsonia an grassed area surrounding the site has been totally flattened an the .....sols have taken cache leaving nothing so for time being i have disabled listing.

Found a car, a pen and a toy on the ground near the cache, but the cache was OK. I replaced the log book bag and the outer bag.

Decided to head for this one in between rain showers. This was a nice flight along the river and while I was here, the sun was shining. I took nothing and left a little something for another finder. Please trade fairly for it. Of course as soon as I left the area, the rains started again Thank you for the cache.

Found this one after a hearty Sunday Roast at the Tavern. Good to walk it off. Great weather and plenty of water in the river - just right for Frogley!

Nice hide. Took TBs and left a torch. Thanks for the hunt.

Actually nice to bump into new (to WA's caching club)Cachers..

Watched a couple of Dinghy bandits tear up the waterway while we were logging our find..

2nd for the day, found this one easily, though it was a good job there was something to stand on as we had to stretch hard for this one, this is one where long legs would have been helpful.
After replacing the cache we continued on for a walk and on the way back ran into Devar and Co logging his find.

Fourth one of the day, We weren't going to go and look for this one today ,but Red Roo kept appearing in the log books just before us and we thought one more for the day won't hurt.

An easy find after a short walk, but a long day. Last cache before turning the 'Roo towards home and letting go the reins . T: Snowy TB, rubber and xbox, L: Rick and a racing car, SL. Thanks again to Explorers 5 for the cache.

Good spot, lots of Muggles on the river. T Super Clock, L Elephant and calling card, SL TFTH.

Stopped by to drop of Snowy Goes A-stray GC - somewhat crowded now, but gives him a nice snug kennel.

Found by Bingz .An easy find no tramping through the bush good GPS signal. T.K.L.N

Found this last week but went back with grand geokidz today and they found it after a lot of searching (they aren't as tall as us)
Problem was it chucked it down with rain so did quick swaps and never noted it properly (did the best we could) as we were getting soaked with rain and the log pencil lead had broken (just needs sharpening to the next geocachers)
Anyway left a couple of unusuals.
Thanks again for the hunt Explorer 5.

PLEASANT LITTLE WALK.

a late night raid netted some tb,s and dropped off "under the sun" hopefully its a short stay by the river before its moved on

A pleasant afternoons stroll along the river with Seekers Inc. who collected many cans along the way. (proceeds to the Scouts). Easy to find cache although not necesarily the first place you would look!!

Dropped in to drop off some Geocoins!!!

After visiting some friends close by, we all decided to set out and find the "Ravenswood Rest". It turned out to be a very pleasance experience walking alongside the tranquil Murray River. Found the cache with no problems. Signed the log, took the eraser and left a coin. : )

Geocoin log!

Dropped by to add some swaps and get Hopper moving and Kalia's GC down to the beach!

Called in to check cache and drop off a few Geocoins to get them on the road again!

Just re-logging caches i have done under a different team name (3BlindEyes)

As we drove into the carpark, I spotted a guy holding an orange Magellan! I soon found out it was Comdek and one of his sons. Nice to meet them. We hunted this one down together and had a good chat along the way. Seems we had just missed BelKen at this cache as well! Found the cache at 4:30pm after a short search. Good hidey hole. Nice river. Several muggles were cruising by in dinghies. Might have to hire one of those houseboats for a nice weekend one day! TN-LN-SL. Thanks for the hunt Explorers 5.

Beaten to the bugz by Belken!!! Must have just missed each other! Met up with Three Blind Eyes just as we were about to look for the cache. Fairly easy find.... nice hiding spot! Dropped off Hopper TB.

We were passing through and this was a sort of pleasant stop. We enjoyed the views along the river and watching the houseboats but the flies drove us off quicker than what we wanted.

The taller of the two found the cache. We took all the Travel bugs for a run up to the big smoke. Took nothing left a mini pocket tool.(Avon)

Thanks for the cache

Dropped in to deposit a couple of TB's.

Just visiting - this time by boat! - and couldn't resist taking a couple of TBs that I will get over to the ACT very soon. Will replace them when next in the area, as didn't have my bag of tricks with me today.

Called in to drop off a Raby Castle TB and our first Geocoin, Explorers 5 Generic Geocoin!

Make sure you pick the correct side of the river!

Mind you the wrong side is a very pleasant walk.

You will need triple strength anti mozzie spray.

Dropped in to get our latest travel bug "Flick" started on his adventures. After a quick intro to Sharpae the Dragon AKA RSPCA Wombat it was in the cache with him and out with Sharpae!

Hooray! My very first FTF! Thanks for the little gift, Explorers 5, too. Great hiding spot next to a highly recommended watering hole. Just remember the mozzy spray!
