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.

Checked with the hider and we were looking in the correct location. Unfortunately Deere John(05) has disappeared
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.

No luck on this one today. Pretty sure we were in the right spot, but its appears that Deere John has hit the road! Hope it hasn't been muggled
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.
Thanks for the moveable.

Came out Ebenezer way this morning to try to get a cache or 2. However the first stop was here for TB's but also ended up finding one bag with 4 GA moveables lying in wait for the next finder. Signed the log book and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the moveable ross1957

Discovered 'Deere John (05)' at the Moveable & Mystery Madness Event held in Whiteman Park. The forecast was for rain but we were blessed with good weather for the day. A small but dedicated group of geocachers and a couple of new faces attended and exchanged stories of caches found and missed. Many thanks Ross1957 for the cache.

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.

Very busy day today with several appointments. Managed to move these caches en masse and find some new ones too.
Finally home for a rest and to log them all.

Hmmm today is a special day in our house but Mr Felix was late home
So after confirming he was on his way home a message was sent me out hunting moveables as it was too hot to go earlier.
Took a while for us to track this down but eventually found it with friends in a spot 1 of our caches started their race
So picked up now.

Dropped off the Deere John where I was hoping I would find another cache, only to find I'd been beaten to it! Safe travels!
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!
