Looks like it has been a while. We couldn't find it today though the clues were good!
Hopefully we got all the clues right. Seemed a likely place going by recent comments but there is some work being done in the area. All of the jetties have been taken down on this side of the lake and some barriers put up. Will take another look when its a bit cooler.
Using the 4 digit vertical number on the "where 2 birds meet" post leads to a very likely GZ. As is suggested by previous logs, there doesn't seem to be a cache at GZ any more. I have replaced the cache as described in the only close to terrain 1 location near GZ. Facing the water, the cache is tucked away on the left hand side. No need to leave the path to retrieve it. Hopefully others will venture back this way to enjoy the beautiful park.
Spent a while looking for this, co-ords were right just wondering if because of busy location it might have been "found" & moved? But we did see some ducklings so wasn't a wasted trip
In Ellenbrook doing some Maintenance so we decided to scout some caches out. AK was first to spot the cache. SL TFTM WoodvaleWarriors.

FelixII was my chauffeur for the day... Returned to Ellenbrook with FelixII, This is my 2nd attempt... She explain me why I make mistake the coordinate - finally find the container and signed the log... Ducks come after me oh dear I am not fish woman... smile... Thanks Woodvalewarriors.
Nope. I didn`t see any drakes. Saw lots of pergolas & a bridge or 2.Maybe the drakes were taken away for a fixup. Other birds i had trouble finding as well.
Enjoyed this walk on a lovely Sunday afternoon. There was a fire further North and some smoke was just starting to waft our way. Lovely park, shame our Suburb doesn't have any like this. Enjoyed the walk and counting. Initially read the formula wrong which had us starting out in the wrong direction but soon corrected our mistake. TFTC WoodvaleWarriors.
thought this was going to be a much more extensive walk when we arrived but we enjoyed it none the less. Was worried at first by the number of pergolas around the place but in the end all worked out well. TFTC we really enjoyed this one and it is a very pretty area.
This Cache has been on my to do list for nearly 2 years!!
Finally made it out to Ellenbrook today, enjoyed the walk around the park, picking up the answers as I went. Which then lead me direct to the Cache.
Cheers guys, really enjoyed this one.

This was a return trip for us as we couldn't locate that cache on our last attempt a few months ago. Encouranged by the confrimation our co-ords were correct we returned and expanded our search area. Found very quickly this time in the very first place we looked. Great multi and location. Thanks for the challenge.
As promised we found it! In the pitch black too! by the way, the light(s) on the pagola have been removed all in all a great location and excellent distraction from studies TFTC
After going home empty handed and reading the clues (with the help of GEarth) we know exactly where it is. The fact that the cache was in the water was a big hint to suggest something was wrong... Surprisingly we found the two birds immediately! Spotting the female drakes was where we went wrong and after a few seconds of googling we painfully realised the problem. Going down another day to sign the log, hopefully TFTH
Decided to do a quick look for this on the way home from the shops. By the time I figured out the clues and the GZ coordinates the geo-baby and geo-dogs were complaining about missing their morning naps, so I had to leave empty handed. I'm not doing very well this week. (The Geo-Dogs also kept trying to chase those drakes....)
Still, after reviewing the logs, and double checking the clues, I'm fairly certain I have the GZ Coordinates now, so that's a win.
I'll come back latter and see what I can find.

Woohoo!! Finally after several attempts over the last 6 months I put my hand in the right spot and found the cache.
I had decided to redo all of the clues to be sure I hadn't made a mistake along the way. But between dodging the first rain we have had in, I don't know how long, a wedding and the fact that the Pergola (needed to get the answer to B) had been completely removed, I had my work cut out for me. As it turns out luck was on my side. The rain showers didn't last too long but were off putting enough to mean the entire area was deserted bar the wedding and as soon as the sun came out the wedding party lined up for their photo's in front of the lake and then ran for the cars before any more rain could arrive. With those two problems solved I just had to get my memory working to remember the answer for Clue B, as I had completed the questions back in April.
With all of the clues completed and the cache co-ords in hand I was led back to my original GZ. So the searching continued until after only about 10mins I felt the cache, what a relief.
Very happy to have found this cache on this special day of the 10/10/10 during the 10th Anniversary year of caching.
I let 'SteKer54's Optical Illusion Geocoin' have a visit in the cache.
Thanks Woodvale Warriors for a great Multi-cache that has kept me going for months.

This is our 4378th overall find.
Found at about 11:04 AM. If there is an easy way and a hard way to find a cache we will always take the hard way. We wandered around the small lake and only got a few answers. We then spotted the lake and thought we would have to wander around it. It is a nice walk but no further information it was then that a few things clicked and it was off to the GZ where we made a quick find, perhaps it was karma for the effort we went to calculate the GZ.
Thanks to WoodvaleWarriors for the cache.

Took a trip out with the family on the weekend and confirmed that the cache is where it has been since it was relocated above the water line.
Hint - its about 2 mtr off the path
Hint - its about 2 mtr off the path
I will take a trip out there on the weekend to confirm existence of the cache and let you who have not found it know the result
Another one to the list of those who couldn't locate this cache. I even resorted to 'phone a friend' who had found previously and after confirming I had been looking in the right place, I still didn't spot the cache!
After not being able to do the nearby GCA multi I came over here and tried this one. Found all the information but didn't find the cache. None of the previous logs made sense for where I ended up so gave up when muggles took over the area for the 2nd time.
What a pretty park...
Counted the pylons..saw the light..got the numbers along the path..met with the two birds..counted the Drakes!..and took a trip down Guthrie St...But no cache find for me today.
Got a pretty good fix by walking up and down a little way away from my GZ in a clear area, and spent nearly half an hour scrabbling around in the undergrowth but no joy. If my answers were correct then there are lots of places it could be, i thought i searched most of them, but obviously not....
May be next time.
Enjoyed the park though on this sunny Winters Day.

Not having a good result this morning. Found all of the required info but no joy on the cache. TFTH!
Finally found it!!! Yes it is there. It was really quite close to co-ords but i just needed to look harder. You may need an attention span. Couldn't have found it without help. Thank you woodvale warriors. Took Australia travel bug, left nothing.
also stumped on the "two birds" clue but as it was only the last digit of one co-ordinate did the 0 and 9 digit positions and checked along the line between taking note of the "hint" in the log. Still didn't find it! Sometimes there are just too many possible places.
Worked out clues pretty easily. Used final coords. But couldn't find cache. Way too many muggles around. Wonder if cache has been found and moved. Gps not always so accurate under trees.
Unfortunately unsuccessful in finding the cache. The bird question had us stumped but still couldn't find the cache. In a very public area so difficult to be discrete in the bushes! Fun to try though.
Lovely park, saw four little baby ducklings, but no cache!
The birds clue threw us. Hints would be helpful.

Took an early morning walk to check on cache and found it where its always been - but a bit damp - as the water level has risen appreciatively since it was placed. Have moved the cache a couple metres 'dryer' and replaced container and log book as it was very damp.
- but still placed within GPS accuracies - so have left clues etc the same. The fact that it is now dryer is a clue !

Had a lovely walk around the park area, kids harrassed the ducklings, watched some model boats, but unfortunately didn't find any caches here. Reading the other entries, we wouldn't be the first ones to wind up with wrong co-ordinates the first time around, so we'll have to go back and try again sometime.
hi again,
this time just alex and i went, and we still couldnt find it!
we did the whole thing again and got to a different place.. not sure what happened there!
help is helpful

This is my/our first cache to find, although we didn't find it! after a nice afternoon stroll around the park, we found all the coordinates and found the place we were looking for. all we ended up coming away with was lavender smelling hands! there were brown, wet soggy leaves everywhere which could have something to do with it being so difficult.
any hints are appreciated, and we will defiantly go back and find it eventually!

Thanks for the hide Woodvale Warriors.
Would love one of the houses on the lake. (Except in summer when the mossies are out I would imagine!!)

Another beautiful park hidden away in Ellenbrook. A lovely morning for a walk around with the GeoPooch in tow. Found all the answers and then headed for the GZ. Initially had a search some way from the cache before letting the GPS settle down and then discovered the cache in its hiding spot.
Thanks for the fun clues and cache, Woodvale Warriors.

Found this cache on the second attempt. No muggles to contend with and more time to look around GZ. Very good hide Woodvale Warriors.

Had a great time working out each clue and enjoyed a nice walk in the park too. Quite a few muggles around and this made it hard to look in certain areas. After a couple of searches, nothing was found. Will have to go back another day. Hoping this cache hasn't been muggled!
Very enjoyable walk around the lovely parklands. Found all the answers easily except for (E) which had me a bit confused, but luckily there weren't too many possibilities, and only 1 ended on dry land, so it was a quick find of the final cache, with black swans hanging around watching my every move.
Thanks for a great cache!

A very pleasant time was had doing this multi which nicely shows off this beautiful park. Took the slouch hat keyring and left an Australian geocaching lapel pin. Thanks Woodvale Warriors - nice one.

Dropped off scottish coin

Finally found this one after a few attempts. First time was muggled out by a wedding, second attempt found GZ but no cache but noticed when I got home that it had been logged that day so possibly other cacher had it. Third time lucky, found cache on way back from WWFM V- Déjà view (Event Cache).

Our first efforts had us scrabbling around in the rosemary bushes which may be appropriate for today - ANZAC day - but did not yield a cache
Mrs Blingg went back around the clues again, this time with her reading glasses on, got the correct answer to F and the cache was soon to hand
Bit of a job counting the drakes!!!!!!!
