Think its time this one needs to be checked by owner, been a long time since last find, could not find anywhere
We had a search for about 20 mins and could not find it. We think we got the right spot but the GPS kept moving around and check all places around there. If someone could check it and see if they could find it that would be great!
Plexonatior, I found your cache Poison Lake dry and healthy

A little damp to gz today but quick find once gps settled down. Nice little spot, TFTC
Found it. Thought it would be too wet but actually quite easy to get across to island
Rode from Salter point to nab this one on the board. Good fun. GPS kept giving me the runaround but found it after about a minute! Lots of nature here doing its thing. TFTC
When do you think he'll believe my device over his (not mentioning any bands but the fruity variety is far superior). Stashed another after work cache.
Jumping on to the little island wasn't so difficult, but jumping back was tricky, a tree branch obscuring the path. Found cache container lying on the ground, presumably blown in recent storm. Signed log and hid back into paperback tree about shoulder height off ground. No mozzies but loads of ants! TFTC
Had no trouble crossing to the island today but finding the cache, well that is a whole other story. No luck for us today and gave up after about a 20 minute search. We will be back TFTH
I was in the area today so stopped by. Made the leap of faith and stayed dry.
A quick find of an exposed cache.

Plexonatior I found your cache Poison Lake on 21/01/2016. This is my find #4758. TFTC.
Scouted around but had to abandon the search as too many mozzies and ants for my 4-yo assistant.
Took a detour through Waterford this arvo to have a go at a couple of the new caches in the area, with mixed results in that regard I decided to come and have another look for this one.
Got to GZ and started searching all the same places as before and was about to give the game away again when all of a sudden I uncovered the container. Very glad to cross this one off the list.
Plexonatior I found your cache at 4:56pm, this was the 2nd of 2 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2331. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

As I had my gum boots on for the trek into the nearby Primordial Ooze cache I thought I'd wander in here too and keep my feet dry. Once at GZ it was a remarkably quick find as the cache was very exposed. I signed log and returned the container to its spot where I found it and covered it up a bit better. Hopefully the covering lasts. Thanks for the cache.
Our first cache for the day after deciding to enjoy the beautiful weather with Geo-NinjaKids. A few sticks and branches formed our "bridge" across to the island. TFTC!
Decided to drop in here today for another look for this one. Spent about ten minutes hunting around. All i was able to do was aggravate several hundred tiny ants, they were everywhere, all over every tree I checked. I came to the conclusion that if I was to find the cache it would more than likely be covered with ants by now as well so I decided to move on.

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Busselton at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2015' event. Registrations now open.

We looked at this one ages ago but it was too wet. Today we are babysitting so always look for a nice park and this was it. The cache was easily reached even by miss 2yo. No swans or cygnets to be seen but very cute baby coots. It's a lovely natural park and we got to play in the playground too. TFTC
It wasn't were I thought it was. My first location had lots of ants (only after disturbing them). The lake isn't too poisonous with two swans and two cygnets on the lake. TFTC
Found it. Shoes muddy and swan was staring at us.. was about to go home and log a DNF against this but caught a glimpse of something and there it was at GZ. Watch out for the ants and swan droppings.
i had to drop the dog off at grooming today so with a few hours to spare till i picked her back up i teamed up with jasenjanine and we went out to find a few caches...
The ground was a bit wet but once at GZ we searched a couple of trees and the cache was then found TFTC Plexonatior

Headed out for a few hours with OOH YEH to find a few caches in the area... After parking the car not far from here we made the short walk through the nice parkland to GZ Cache was found by OOH YEH, after a few minutes of searching some other trees first!
TFTC Plexonatior
Cache was in good condition.

Cache was in good condition.What a great little spot! I thought I might get wet feet going for this one, but managed to find a stick to step on along the way. A quick find once at GZ, and plenty of waterbirds around. Thanks for the cache Plexonatior!
BISSRA found it. Went there with Franz a group of 7 the other day. Interesting place. Would be more enjoyable if i wore proper shoes.
Had a quick look for this one late this arvo. It was getting dark and I had to move on. I will be back one day.

Thought I would focus my hunt around picking up some puzzle caches that had been sitting in the solved pile for a while. Headed northwards and started the day here in Manning. Found this one after a fairly extensive search - any excuse to climb a tree or three. Cache found and log signed. Thanks for the smiley THE =D TEAM
This took a few minutes disturbing a few ant nest before finding the cache...TFTC
[:(!] Went for a morning caching run before church and this was one of them, parked the geoGrand Vitara as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of several minutes.

SL TFTC/TFTH The =D Team [^]I got the opportunity to explore Salter Point this morning so I took the bike out for a ride around the neighbourhood and picked up some caches along the way. This was cache number 12. I had to hunt for some time for this one despite it being in an obvious spot. That probably means its time for me to have a lie down. Cheers
Out for a caching run along the river, to Manning & South Perth.
We visited a lot of lovely parks, with a good variety of cache hides.
Headed back to the caravan, when the day warmed up.
Thanks for the cache, THE =D TEAM.

Sent boyz over but they came up empty handed. After a jump over by me the cache was found in a boy-challenged location.
Found by dirty geo son ... While out geocaching with my geo sister .... Log is full needs replacing
Got out to GZ OK in the rain but took a while to find the cache once there.
Thanks THE =D TEAM for the cache.
Thanks THE =D TEAM for the cache.
We had a quick look at all the water and decided to come back another time!
Searching out some caches around Clontarf. Took a bit of searching to find this one.
Thanks THE =D TEAM.
Thanks THE =D TEAM.
Went on a small geo-bike ride with D Team and got quite a few caches. All of them were successes so can't do any better than that! TFTC
Found with loubla as he asked for some help. Cache had moved from original position. Took me some time to find.
Have been to this site a good few times without luck. This time we had serious help, from the CO! The cache was not in the original position, but the location was good enough to be left there. Thanks to THE =D TEAM for this cache.
I was experiencing a similar fate as on two previous visits here and was facing another DNF. Phoned a friend and shortly afterwards easily located the cache approx 8m west from GZ as indicated by my GPS. Nice to be able to cross this one off the to do list.

Out and about with the AmstradKid crew in the Waterford/Manning area to scout out some caches. A bit of wading to get to GZ but a really quick find here, SL TFTC THE =D TEAM
My second attempts - hooray found the cache and signed the log at 1:55pm after search for while... Thanks The =D Team
Had a good look all over the island & didn't find the cache even with LouBla assisting. Didn't even find a hidey hole, so the cache may still be there. If it is, then well done! Will keep an eye on this one & will get it 'one day'. TFTH.
On my prior visit I had no idea what "Melvilla" was talking about with their "nice easy find". Today I understood completely. After crossing the "bridge" and having a token look in ant riddled paperbark trees, I took a break and enjoyed my KitKat while MDV provided the entertainment. A nice easy find indeed. Thanks for the cache.
Beautiful area - enjoyed wander - look around and poke - no luck... what kind of container? Thanks.
Think I was on the correct island; my GPS got down to a 1m reading. Searched the nearest 3 paperbarks for 20minutes before calling it quits. Will return when it gets a few more finds.
**FTF** at 4.13 pm. On my way home when I saw this one. I have always wondered about this spot and geocaching. You beat me to it =D Team but thanks for the cache! This was a nice easy find just as it started to rain. You took your time Loubla - and no sign of Blakids at all!
