Good spot, found some couples time capsule. But in the end 7yo son finally found it.
Took a little while, found some kids time capsule in the process, but once I thought for a second, I found it quickly
We must have looked dodgy finding this one in rush hour traffic! Log is now full. TFTC
The cache is in is place, but the lid on the mint tin has come unnatached, risking water to get into the container.

Following an eventful day with activities at Woodman's Point and securing a "first to find" in Beeliar, our geocaching escapade continued as we swiftly made our way up to Alkimos. The mission: cleaning up and exploring the array of new geocaches dotting the northern suburbs. The rush to cover these new caches infused the journey with an adrenaline-filled excitement, eagerly anticipating the diverse challenges and discoveries awaiting us in this northern stretch. All caches were signed as team NYE23, our appropriate team name for a New Years Eve caching adventure.Quick find here today Cheers olthomas!

It was a little tough but it was great. Easy to find. We think it was great one to find
Enjoy finding this one. We found a little gift and replaced it with a gift for the next person (it’s a tight fit)

Found after 30 minutes walked past it around 10 times first one found! Left a surprise in the tin.
It took so long to find this one we walk past it so many times. My uncle and I left a surprise in the tin, have fun finding
Thanks for the tip, it took a while to figure it out, it was a good find and a good park
Found by the wife and I. Took us around 5 minutes. This was our first find - very enjoyable experience.
A day out with B12 as he organised another leave pass for a few days. Northern suburbs was the main location for the day. Thanks olthomas
Adding this cache to be found. TFTH

Walked past this one twice, lucky it was dark so there weren’t many people around. Signed the log, TFTC
Managed to find it at night, pitch black using just a phone light! Bit of a struggle but we did it, thanks 
Good hiding spot! This one took me much longer than it should have as I searched the wrong structure first. It took me a while to understand the hint - I think... Thank you for the cache olthomas.
Found this one a few weeks ago on our last visit but went back for a second play and to log the cache today.
thought I would brave the blustery weather and get a few recently solved puzzles and a few others in the area. I managed 100% on all the caches that I looked for. So thankyou to all the cache owners for making my morning enjoyable and keeping the caches well maintained
Today we went to the park with friends and my brother we m red to find the cache so we went on a hunt to find it.
Was a little bit further south picking up some caches and once done with those I decided to stay out a little longer - so headed up here to find some more Stopped off here on the way and arrived to find a full-on community event underway in the new park. The cafe looked like it had just opened too. Lovely spot but the hordes of muggles did make me wonder if trying for the cache would be worthwhile. Bundled the geohound out the car - perfect cover! - and went for a walk. Once at GZ all was fine, I was nicely out of sight. Hint made no sense to me at all, lol, but thankfully the cache was a quick find anyway No problems here, TFTC

Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
I’ll have to get my “Ozzie Geosense” back. Took a lot longer than it should. But nice to have good co-ords.
Thanks for the hide and olthomasteam.

Plans were made a few days ago to meet up with Barnzy12 and do a caching run north of the river as far as yanchep and cache our way back. We had a very good day with about 50 finds with about a dozen puzzle caches included and we were very fortunate to be in the area where FTFS were published and we managed to grab 3 of them. Most caches were found without any problems with a few that took a bit of searching. A big thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches
Headed out for a caching run with ooh yeh with the main goal of cleaning up the Alkimos area, we started early and worked our way up to the alkimos area ultimately finishing up in Yancheng before grabbing a few more on the way home, including a slight change of plans for some FTFs of which we managed to get 3.
Finished off the day with the new cache at shipwreck park.
All in all a good day out with approximately fifty finds including a number of puzzles.
Thanks to the local COs for their hides.
