In the area today we were going to stop by this one but noticed all the DNF"s A previous finder has confirmed that this one is missing, so if the owner could please check & replace/archive... Thanks Lensterhawks838.
Saw the few DNF's so went to check if the cache was still there. Bad news as it is not in its original location and has been removed
Didn't have enough time to find it I suspect.

I was going past and saw this come up on the TomTom so stopped in for a quick look. GPSR had me going in circles, I didn't have much time and had to move on.

Found it! The ants had done a good job of concealing the cache. Had to use a stick to extract from hiding place!
Found it but didn't have a pencil on me so no log. Watch out for ants who have taken up refuge at GZ.
Found with iluvtrekking on a big caching day in the hills. Thanks Lensterhawks838
Back up this way for another caching day with Luna Maya.
We had a great day even though it was quite warm. I ended up with 22 finds and a couple of DNFS. We even managed to get a FTF while we were up here. Most caches were found quite quickly with a few that took a bit of searching. TFTC Lensterhawks838

Quick find, though nice hide. May need a bit of new paper scroll prob fit another 5 names on it, cheers!
On the way home after lunch with geofriend's friend, had to stop and grab our first Hills caches.
Here was my turn to make the find, making 2 each for the day.
Have enjoyed our Hills caches, planning to come back for more. TFTC Lensterhawk838

Our first visit in the hills to visit a work colleague and just had to see what caches are around. After a lovely lunch and listening to my friends new sound system, admittedly a bit spoilt with a short blackout, we ventured off for the next two finds. This was our last for our day in the hills, however I know we will be back. Thanks for this cache Lensterhawks838
[:(!] After church and a bite to eat what better way to fill in an afternoon but to do some caching and this was one of them, parked the geoGrand Vitara as close as possible to GZ and we walked in from there, on arrival at GZ we had the cache in hand in a matter of minutes.

Out today with Luna Maya in the drivers seat. Had originally intended making it out to Northam, but discovered there were soooo many caches around the Kalamunda/Mundaring area just waiting to be found. Found this one after expanding our search area. Found it in a spot we weren't expecting it to be. Thanks Lensterhawks838
Today was spent with Mistraluna caching in the Kalamunda and Mundaring areas ! My apologies in advance for the generic logs, however:
I loved the locations, the views , the wildflowers, the scenery and the company Also the walks and that some of the caches were quite old What a great variety Great to see a lot of larger sized containers as well A nice location, however the description said near a tree, not where we found it SL TFTC Lensterhawks838

This was my second attempt at this cache and this time we found it (Harry2351 and I). Found a sizeable slug when replacing the cache, thanks.
I didn't have a pencil to sign the log but did find the bison tube in a cranny along with some millipedes.
Wow I have been looking forward to today for 3 weeks. A big days caching with The Machman and SpatialRiQ
The Machman and Mrs Felix left home at about 6am in the dark to be joined later by RIQ.
Well after 2 lengthy walking loops I was looking forward to some park n grabs. this didnt disappoint particularly as my knee was playing up.

Planned a hills caching day with The Machman and FelixII a few weeks back, so we pooled the caches we wanted to target plus all our solved puzzles. Was a great day to be in the hills caching away from the city for a change.
Quick find as we drove past. TFTC.

FELIX and I had been planning a trip to Kalamunda Hills for about 2 years, but the seasons just passed by and
we have never quite made it.
Over this time the list of unfound Caches grew astronomically and we are now left with needing to spend a week there just to make a dent.....
Anyway today was the first day of our assault on the hills with Spatial Riq.
We had already walked round the Banyowla Regional Park and the George Spriggs Reserve so took some time to pick up a few stand alone caches.
Thankfully a quick and easy grab.

Found on crisp morning with GeoMother.... It was only 238 meters from my house......Thanks for the cache......
Well and truly used to seeing this style of cache today. Plenty of parking spaces and a nice quick find. TFTC.
Thankfully a quick find as the container was on the ground. Replaced in a D1 spot as I am not at all sadistic when it comes to micros.
Thanks for the cache Lensterhawks.

Aaaahh my second attempts - finally spotted the bison tube... signed the log at 4.20pm. Thanks Lensterhawks838.
Second last cache for the area today. Found without too much searching.
Thanks Lensterhawks838 for the cache.

First cache in Australia for us. I was an exchange student in the school nearby in 98 and it was nice to come along once again. We couldn't find it at first as we were not looking at the right height …

Have put a bear trap nearby should keep the old grizzly away.
Easy find and thank you for placing a cache only 200m away from home.

Out and about with AmstradKid for a caching run in the Kalamunda hills. Saw this one published the other day, so while in the area we decided to scout it it out. A quick find, but be aware the AK re-hid this one, so it is definitely a D2 now.
Good to see a new cacher hiding caches, will be looking forward to more hides. SL TFTC Lensterhawks838

This was published as I was at home packing the car for a day in Kalamunda. Should i or shouldn't I?
Thought I had no chance since it is almost in school grounds, the school where both blob and Jacko go so it would be easy for them to grab it before school. I just hoped that they were like I was in high school and valued a sleep in over anything. That, and that the bears have been roaming the area lately.
Packing the car took quite some time with a baby and two dogs, but I eventually got moving - a 30min drive ahead. Had been texting blob in friendly competition and thought it was definitely all over when I was stuck in roadworks in canning rd and he reported Jacko was already at school. Oh well, I'm here, may as well log the cache anyway. Got to GZ and easily uncovered the cache (a similar hide to Sundays lensterhawk FTF), and was surprised to find a blank log. But in my hurry to leave the house I had forgotten a pen! With only a few minutes left before the school bell, blob came to my aid with his pencil case full of writing implements. We logged a joint FTF at 8:35. Thanks lensterhawk! Also, I think I might be spending too much time in Kalamunda lately...

7:48: the phone makes the sound that means a new cache has been published in the general area near home.
It's only a few hundred metres away! Should we rush out to find it? What sort of cache is it?
Another micro bison tube. Oh.
It can wait until we happen to be passing.
