Dear John, I will miss you
 
This geocache appears to be MIA so to stop it clogging the search lists we'll archive it. This is done to keep the Geocaching Australia clean and up to date.
If the owner can confirm it is in place the listing can be resurrected by placing an "unarchived" log against it.

In the area with LuckyL10n and tried this one, but alas no joy. Certainly found an area that matched the hint, however the cupboard was empty. Good chance it's gone I'd say....

Thanks anyway.

Left a few moveables around for the local GCA cacher to pick up. Nice to meet you at the OzGeoMuster. You can't say there are no GCA caches nearby now!
 
Found at the Oz Geo Muster mega event. In the hands of Whitewebbs. Thanks for the moveable.
 
Spotted this moveable in the hands of Whitewebbs with Luckyl10n and Sol de Lune at the Oz Geo Muster Mega Event in Morisset NSW.

The Oz Geo Muster Mega Event. What a blast. This was my first mega event and I loved it. I traveled up and around with ziggiau. Ziggiau drove while I tried to navigate and research our next location at the same time. haha. It was great meeting GCA and GC cachers. I just wish I could have got to know you all more, but hopefully time and more events will do that. Smile
Thanks for the moveable. Smile

According to Wikipedia...
Whiteman Park is a 4,000-hectare (9,900-acre; 15 sq mi) bushland area located 22 km (14 mi) north of Perth, Western Australia. The park is in the suburb of Whiteman, in the Swan Valley in the upper reaches of the Swan River. It encompasses the source of Bennett Brook - an important nyoongar location, and source of mythology of the Wagyl and stories about aboriginal occupancy of the area. Whiteman Park is known for its biodiversity, including over 450 endemic plants and more than 120 vertebrate animals (some of which are rare and endangered). Over 17% of Western Australian bird species occur in Whiteman Park, including migratory birds attracted to the habitat provided by Bennett Brook and associated wetlands including Grogan's Swamp, a Conservation Category Wetland. The state government purchased the land from a variety of private owners in 1978, to protect the underlying aquifer as a drinking water source for Perth. The major owner was Lew Whiteman (1903–1994), after whom the park is named.
Whiteman Park includes bushwalking trails, bike paths, sports facilities and playgrounds. The park is also host to heritage transport groups and their collections: The Perth Electric Tramway Society runs a 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) electric tram journey around the park, running a tram that used to be in service on the Fremantle network. Caversham Wildlife Park; Bennett Brook Railway; The Tractor Museum of Western Australia; The Western Australian Motor Museum; Bus Preservation Society of Western Australia; and Revolutions Transport Museum.

My third find for the afternoon, and I definitely liked this one. My husband used to work for CJD equipment, servicing John Deere's, so we have quite a few toys at home (they are staying put though).

Thanks for the cache ROSS1957, I'll drop it off somewhere new soon!
