Logs
Thanks for the cache we found it pretty tricky to locate but got it in the end.
Greetings from Canberra! After lunch at Pinky Beach, we fast-walked over to Geordie's Cafe because the rain was about to hit. Thankfully, this cache was a quick find, so that we could rush to shelter. Very nice hide and at a lovely location. TFTC!
Thankfully we found this quickly. Log is very jammed in but there was a tiny scrap of paper at the top so we managed to squeeze in GA to sign. TFTC
Day tripped to show my wife Rottnest. She was so excited to see her first quokka. Cache found safe and well. Logged signed and off.Beautiful day out and about.Cheers
Visiting From NZ.Staying in Fremantle and just had to visit the Island. We had great weather all week. Today was the worst day of that week, even though it was still fine and warm for us. The wind got up later in the day and made it trickier to ride the bike and a choppy ride home in the ferry.Got back to the village and wifey had definitely had enough cycling, so I ditched her and cycled out to this one, seeing it was so close. A cleverly disguised cache, which I managed to find quickly. I signed the remaining space on the scrap of paper in there and replaced it before anyone came past. Its a beautiful beach and I really wanted to swim while I visited the island, but the day just wasnt warm enough and the water was freezing, even for a visiting Kiwi!TFTC
Nice easy find but no room in the log and probably not waterproof anymore. TFTC
The hide is good but the cache scarcely contains room for a log. Some maintenance is needed really.#10520
Thank you, 13 Field Squadron for building this board walk so we can access the beach . Found the hide after a search of the full structure as it is well hidden. Congrats...
Doing to round trip on the bike and this sneaky hide was soon in hand, looks like log is missing, put small signed log in for now tftc
TFTC #209 ~~~~~~~~~~~Aloha from Hawaii! Biking around Rotto island, picking up nice caches!Not too sure if we found it? We found a container that might be it, but it had no log. We looked around a bit more, but couldnt find anything extra. Took pictures if we need to send proof. For now, TFTC
Very cool container and neat spot at beautiful beach. Was at an angle so made sure to put it back straight and securely. Tftc.
This took half an hour! So sneaky. Given that it was a new replacement, I spotted something that didnt look like quite the rest as the camouflage had not developed much yet, thus it did not blend in much with the rest. It looked suspiciously obvious and sure enough it was the cache. Problem is, I didnt try hard enough, so I skipped it as a possible cache and tried all the others. This took up the bulk of the time. I went back to the suspected cache after trying mostly everything, just this time with a little more effort and experimentation. It beared fruit indeed, and the cache was found. I walked down the beach thereafter to enjoy the beautiful views and sunset. TFTC and greetings from Singapore!
Cahce has been replaced and spares made due to constant theft of the cache.
Looked for ages with six people but couldnt find it but think we found a hole where it used to be DNF
Logging this late after I found it on a day trip in November while mrx2 and I were in WA to see Coldplay! TFTC!
TFTC I think we found it. The log was on the floor and we think we found the spot where it lived.
Nice quick find when you get down low. Impressed this one has lasted so long with the way the log is held!!! Nice work. Thanks for the cache
My husband and i and muggle friends are visiting from Brisbane. Today we hired electric bikes to travel around and it was fantastic. With a few big hills the bikes made easy work and the 30 km or so we rode felt easy. We got the 9.30 ferry and returned on the 4.30 ferry and spent around 4 hours riding with a stop for lunch and a drink at Rottnest Island Hotel at the end. We had such a great day and thank you for placing these caches on the island for us to enjoy.The cache. we found a likely hiding spot but no log book. we ended up finding it on the ground and popped it back where we think it belonged as per the hint
Once I had orientated myself easy find to the sound of the windmill bladeBeautiful placid watets
Visiting from Brisbane with T-Tech. Today we are heading to Rottnest Island 
Tick that off the Bucket List! We hired electric bikes and spent 6 hours riding the length and breadth of the island, travelling 50kms, seeing the sights and gathering caches.After lunch and a break back at The Settlement we decided to take the north road to complete the AL, gather two more caches and visit the lighthouse. Very glad the bikes were electric as I don't think we'd have done this extra ride otherwise! At GZ I was really worried that we'd be here for a long time, but the the cache was the first thing I touched! TFTC, Rottnest Islander.

I don't do Geocaching much anymore, but couldn't leave without doing at least one when on the island. What a beautiful spot. We took a wonderful picture of our family of four, but I won't post it here. TFTC, cacheqai
Great find love how it is a little paper on the bolt nice place to put it as we travel to Perth from Gold Coast we love to explore areas super happy days as we found two geocaches today.
#5.448Right at the start of our bicycle tour we were blessed with the sighting of whales in front of this beach. And as we stopped anyways we quickly had a look for the cache as well.TFTC says team mastba from Hamburg/Germany
Our only cache, on our last day on Rottnest Island. I was beginning to think we wouldn’t nab any, as we had so much to do in a short space of time. This one was awesome. Love the hide. Log was a little damp, but signed okay. Replaced as found, and between groups of muggles, which was lucky! Thanks for our Rotto smiley, Rottnest Islander.
Hired bikes for the day and did the grand tour of Rotto. This one was the first for the day. Was a quick find once some muggles moved on. TFTC.
Found it 
not what we were expecting it to look like but still a good hide thanks for the cache

Over onto Rottnest Island to fulfil Snickersallan bucket list place to visit. Hired bikes to ride around and this was one of our first stops.
Searched likely places and reading logs found where it should be. Added logsheet to hide to next finders. Lovely beach.

Enjoying my first visit to Rottnest Island and joined by patrol14 on a lovely winters day.
Hired a deadly treadle to get us around to several of the caches, and we managed to get half done.
We happened to have had an appropriate write in the rain log to replace the missing one.
Thank you, Rottnest Islander, for placing this cache for our benefit and enjoyment

Like many others, I found the container. Part of the one end has fractured, so the logbook is missing and there is no way for it to hold onto a replacement. I have taken a picture if proof is needed. TFTC!

Love this one I have one in the Pemulwuy area in NSW.
What an adventure. This was my first visit to the island I can now say I have been.
I would not book to travel with sea link again unfortunately. The tide was very high this morning in the river. The boat could not get under the bridge so we were put off at east Fremantle, traveled 10 minutes by coach to the Fremantle wharf were we wait for the 11am transport. I lost about 1:5 hours on the island. Finally arrived and set off on foot the skies were ok, some clouds but looked like it was clearing. I brought a hop on hop off bus ticket but decided to walk the first part. Then between caches south side of Kingston and on quokka duty the skies opened I had a rain coat but was drowned. I caught buses between the other caches then walked again in the afternoon from stop 19.
Today I got 9 caches, a multi and the adventure caches. Not bad at all.
Thank you all for placing the caches.
At the bishop retreat I left a TB.
One of the caches would have been cache 2400.

We found the host, and the camouflage is really good.
However, logbook wasn`t there.
We contacted owner and with photo proof that we have found it we got permission to log, what we do now.
Thx for the cache.
Very good hide, I drop a rusty nail to keep the boardwalk stable.

I think I found where the cache should be, but unfortunately not cache or log to sign. I might need to be checked.
The place is great! I think I found what the hint indicates, but could not find the log! Please check the cache. Thanks a lot!
Spent the day on Rotto with the family. Last here in 2014, so been a while!
Quick find while cycling past after a swim at The Basin. TFTC

This has a real twist to it. Read the clue and found it quickly while the muggles conveniently cleared, very nice bit of work. TFTC
