Amazing hiding spot, took us a while but we eventually found it.

Really fun had to climb a bit!! Found it with @swanseacityontop!

Checked and still there - Elmo is long gone alas

Didn't find it or elmo

Smart hiding place @bunbun88 we found it!

Awesome hide Olthomas! Look forward to checking out all your caches! Luck I had help from Bear95. Returned as found.

Still there.

I think someone has taken it away I was looking for 1 hour

Indeed very difficult but found it! TFTC

Tricky hiding spot! Had to think outside the box!

Found after a little search. It wasn’t where I expected to be. The retrieval took a little thinking outside of the box. TFTC

Thanks for the chache. FlavVe

Tftc, liked the challenge of this

Daddy found it. Tftc

Lucky the improvised tool worked well. TFTC

Gave it a crack but no luck

It's a hard one

Couldn't find it can someone give a clue.

I am glad we didn't have to go outside the fences. I improvised a tool from the local area and got the cache and also used it to place it back. Lucky humans use tools.

Checked. Still there.

Think it’s gone

Did not find

Soon hard but we found it.

Very clever, great hide

I was lured this way after doing the multi not too far from here... Thankfully I was quick to devise a plan of getting this one, although finding the darn thing took me way longer than it should have

TFTC olthomas

Clever hide, tftc

Took a while to find but eventually got it. Tftc.

Hard

Checked. Still there.

After 3 goes

Found Ellis mate but not tbe cache 8

I had fun retrieving this one!

Quick find but had to use some ingenuity to access.
Great location.
Thanks for the cache.

Came back with the bikes today to join hoards of little muggles & their families on this lovely bike path. Even abandoned the bikes for obligatory bush bashing where required. TFTC olthomas

After dropping my daughter off at Joondalup shops with a friend I headed up this way as I had a couple of hours free before picking them up.
Parked just north of #6 and worked my way backwards collecting the series plus a couple of others on the way. Great place for a scooter expedition! All caches were found pretty quickly.
Grabbed this one on the way past. TFTC

Nice quick find, signed the log and sat and watched the sun set for a bit, TFTC

Out for a bit of drone action today and came across this cache without a gps on hand. Not a bad score there. I note elmo's mate has now disappeared It's a wonderful place to come visit. Thanks for bringing me out here and TFTC.

Was out and about early this morning completing the nearby mini series on this fine new Coastal Path and this hide fell very nicely on my route - took a moment or two to spot it -

Out and about picking up a few caches this arvo, including a few along this stretch of the 'path to nowhere' between Burns Beach & Mindarie. Took a few tries before I found an access point from Burns Beach but once I did it was a lovely walk - firstly through sandy dune tracks then eventually the path itself. Not many options at GZ and after I had quickly eliminated all the obvious places I expanded my search a little and soon spotted it. No TOTT on me but some inventive thinking enabled me to retrieve and replace ok Took a bit more searching afterwards before I finally spotted Elmo's mate as well - couldn't leave without ticking that off too! Awesome path, hope it gets joined up soon. TFTC

A quorum of the Fott was here so we are retrospectively claiming the find. If that's an issue let us know.

Out and about with fellow FoTT members Kyzabra & SVKR_WA this morning picking up a few oldies, labs and whatever else took our fancy in the far northern suburbs. The usual bantering and tsk tsking was had from time to time but at the end of the day we're all still mates.

On our way to the nearby 'Spit Hill' cache we stopped in for go at this one. Glad there was someone in our party who could stretch because I would've struggled.

olthomas I found your cache at 9:40am, this was the 9th of 17 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 6099. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Grabbed by Kyzabra after a short search.

Granett put out the word that he wanted to head to the far north today for some caches, some labs and some fun.

I picked up Granett early and we headed out to meet up with Kyzabra in Cockburn. We all piled into the one car, having the usual Shotgun fight over who sits in the front seat.

As usual for one of our caching trips, there was a great deal of fun and frivolity, with some intermittent caching in between.

olthomas SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache Elmo's Mate's Place today at 09:39:40 5 Jul 2020. This brings my find count to 4165

olthomas - Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. We love travelling and visiting some places that we would only visit due to this game.

SVKR_WA, Granett and I decided late last night we should head out today and clean up a few of the newer labs and also grab a couple of targeted caches on our journey. Mini road trip today.
Made our way here for a tall find.

Many thanks to olthomas for placing and maintaining Elmo's Mate's Place. We found it, signed it, and put it back as found. We found this one at 9:40 am on Sunday and this is my find 8581.

We decided that it was high time we checked out this new walking cycling path and what a tread it was. Thanks so much olthomas for enticing us out today.

A sunny day and today megawat60 and I are tackling the Mindarie trail on our geobikes. Nice lookout. He spotted the cache then used my TOTT to retrieve it. TFTC olthomas. Glad we didnt have to go look around Elmo! TFTC olthomas!

Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
Luckily she had brought a convenient TOTT! So I used it for retrieval.
Thanks for the hide and olthomas.

There were three cars of workers here on my way out so I stopped on the way back by which time they’d moved slightly further down the path. Thanks.

Found this on my first cycle on the new path tftc

Early morning run with a bit of geocaching, what’s better then that!!! Found it and left my mark. TFTC.

Spotted this hide a couple of weeks ago while tackling the sharkcaver series nearby, however I didn't have my TOTT to get to it. Today I came prepared and it was a quick retrieve and replace. Great path, can't wait until it is connected at both ends! Thank you for the cache olthomas.

Thanks Elmos mate! Great spot, nice shade break for the walk.
TFTC

Picked this one up whilst doing the Burning to Mindarie series. As previous log said, Standing in the right spot is the key lol TFTC

Enjoying the lovely path and finding Elmo's mate.
An early morning start clearing up a bunch of NOR caches. We loaded up the bike so this section of caches could be tackled before the heat sets in.
TFTC olthomas this is find #9417 for us.

Elmo’s mate is safe and sound... quite a lovely area to stroll and pick up some caches! I thought the wind be blow me away today on the hill...

Accompanies with bushies2, we decided do this series - long walked, glad there have plenty seats so i can rest each .. poor mr bushies2 as he is willing wait for me... so happy completed the series .
Lovely path ... Thanks for the cache and hide

Caching with Everlasting, had searched everywhere. Standing and thinking where would the cache be, finally found it. TFTH

Finally got there after finding the correct angle!

TFTC olthomas!

Headed North with Cravo10 to cleanup the new Burning to Mindarie caches and some others that have been on the “to do” list for a while.

Managed 15 finds for the afternoon which was a good result after a really long walk on the new track and either side of it too. We started off on Longstaff Rd to grab a few caches in the dunes before starting at one end of the track not realising the other end was the middle of nowhere aswell and would result in a 600m walk across the dunes to where our second car was parked - a very long and tough slog.

Was greatful for the aircon and a cold drink at the car as we were “gassed” from the walk.

Grabbed a few others on the way into Yanchep and again on the route home.

Thanks to sharkcaver and the other local COs for a great arvo out.

Got the usual “are you busy” today and replied with “where are you thinking”

An hour later we were starting our walk, just didn’t have shorts spare in the car so steel caps and long pants had to do!

Good thing for a breeze and slightly cooler weather TFTH TFTC

Found it. TFTC olthomas. This took a while to locate. Elmo’s mate I think is Kermit. He didn’t help at all, he just watched my every move from about 30m away. Great view from here.

I wanted to go to the event today so convinced the Better Half to come for a drive and visit her friend to the north of here but she had to do a 'small' walk before hand including this one but not the very last of them as that seemed too far.

All caches on the walk were found without issues.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks olthomas for placing this cache for us to find.

Chwiliwr decided he wanted to go to the nearby event so I came for a drive to visit friends just to the north of here. What he didn't tell me was how long the 'short' walk actually was that we were going to do before he took me to my friends house.

Cache found without problems although I would not have been able to get it if Chwiliwr wasn't here with me.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks olthomas for the cache.

Elmos mate has been located

Thank you! Headed for this one after completing the beacon cache in the area. It was quite nice being the only person on the dual use path, and I especially liked the area at GZ. It took a bit to spot the sneaky cache, but I got there in the end. And while I enjoyed the 360° view, I spotted the frog too. Thanks for bringing me here.
