South Perth ROX South Perth, Western Australia, Australia
By Lyn Pat and Nathan on 17-Nov-02. Waypoint GCAAC8

Sorry to all those that are affected by archiving the cache but the local council has requested that it be removed. We think that we placed it in the logical place and we chose this place because it was reachable while on the boardwalk although some people did walk to the small area nearby we have never noted any damage. We did monitor the cache and we felt that there was no adverse effects on the nearby Flora.
Unfortunatly we can be as resposible as we like but the decision isnt alway ours. The council has made the decision and we will do as requested. We would love to be able to modify the cache in a manner that would encourage people to visit the boardwalk and also meet the council standards that they would like. If they (the council) feel they would like to engage in some sort of Dialog with us we would encourage it to do so as together we can find a solution to an issue that wont be isolated. We in the geocaching community are always open to ideas that improve our relationship with the authorities. Feel free to email us anytime.

Went with my dog to find this one. In the car on my way to the cache I could only get 2 satellite signals. At the South Perth foreshore I had none.Going by the clues in the write up the dog and I looked at a few obvious spots before concentrating my efforts at one site. I had no trouble when the area was clear of children of locating it.
Took Travel Bug which I discovered was the one I got from Prickly Bark last year. I will be taking it to Queensland next week. Left the toy rabbit.
On my return to the car still no signal. Located cache at 4.41pm

Just re-logging caches i have done under a different team name (3BlindEyes)

Thanks again Lyn Pat and Nathan, love your work!
TNLNSL.
Regards Philma.

A nice afternoon for a walk and we get to enjoy another great spot we hadn't visited before. Really enjoyed the boardwalk. Very peaceful in here. Took nothing but left the RaffiBug I TB which we picked up from 'River View' cache.
Thanks for the hunt Lyn Pat and Nathan.

Trod in something very smelly - a visit to the nearby Scented Garden did not fix it...

1345: A very interesting spot in the middle of very open place.Left dinosaur took nothing. TFTH L.P.N.

A nice easy find in a lovely spot, thanks. Took Dinosour, left Tape.

Had a little trouble in the trees. However once the gps settled down checking the most obvious places led to success.

Found by Haggis at 1144

Great location for forget about the world for a bit =)

TNLN and then the GPS batteries an out!

Wow, what an enchanting place! This is my first GC found in WA, hope to find a few more in the next few days...

In: LOTR Gimli figurine
Out: Andy's TB

TFTC!

What a great spot, lots of muggles around on a Sunday arvo.

Didnt even know that this man made structure was here.

TNLNSL

Easy find. Quiet day near the water.

This was our first cache on our 3rd time geocaching. Really nice spot. South perth is so beautiful. Took small plastic frog, left movie voucher. filled in the log book. Can't believe this cache has been here for years. Sat on the grass with my cousins (Team Nye). Filled in the log book. Took some photos of local wild life. A few muggles on our way, but total tranquility when we found the cache. Thanks for the search.

Great hiding spot. Found faily easily after avoiding muggles. Took cache to the shade of a tree to fill log in before safely returning. Lovely spot for a picnic!

TNLN

We Two of WeThree were there with Ironmonk3y - great spot - used to have a flat overlooking this spot when rent was only $35 per week!

Neet hiding spot missed it first time then had another look and FOUND IT!!! Good area for lunch.

Mr killerbunnies grew up around here, but had never visited this little oasis before. Nice place, but no time to sit down for a BBQ today, we're leaving to go back to Melbourne tomorrow.

Took TB, left carrot #87.

Found whilst 'gophering' with parents. Dad found the cache - novice GPS user. Had lunch nearby in the paperbark woodland.

Found cache whilst 'gophering' with parents. Dad found cache and used GPS - novice user. Had lunch in nearby paperbark woodland.

My second trip to beautiful Perth. I'm attending a sales meeting here. My colleagues and I have formed a Geocaching team to see if we can get a TB around the world between now and Christmas!

Picked up Geo Jetson TB

Nice easy find whilst in Perth for some business. GPS took a little while to settle down and in the end found no prob's.

No trades

Thanks for the hunt.

TB Manhunt Down Under and I parted our ways whilst attending a Perth Chatters BBQ on the South Perth foreshore.

I have walked thru and past this area many times. It's a great spot to stop for a while and listen to the birds.

Found OK. The park was quiet and it was a pleasant walk in the evening. It still amazes us at the places we don't know about in Perth.

TNLN
Thanks. Will log the cache as part of coinquest.

Another day another cache, thanks Lyn Pat & Nathan. Took time out before a meeting to get this one, again muggle free. Took: Yoyo
Left: Golf Ball

Great cache guys in a wonderful area. The views across the water in the late afternoon make me want move to this part of the world. How much is the local real estate?

We visited this cache on our short visit to Perth en-route to a wedding in Singapore.
We were accompanied by our Great Ausie Mates, Geomuggles & Perth residents Flick & Stevo.
Great cache !!! but weather not quite good enough for a barbi !

Dropped TB Scuba here close to the river.

TB hunt today, so decided to go for a walk to grab this one. I love boardwalks - such a pretty spot.

Container was visible once you step off the boardwalk..so an easy find for me means an easy find for muggles. Pushed it a bit further under.

Took: TB Crush
Left: Nothing

Good spot but you have to watch out for muggles. I saw this had the father of the year bug in it. So good excuse to hop on the bike and pick up a couple of caches. I had planned to go to 8 caches but ran out of time and got 4 today.
Took: Stickers
Left: Little brown bear that was from the first cache I ever found. So long little bear.

Dropped off TB Crush - TB Father of the Year is gone and no doubt will be logged soon.

Dropped off TB Father of the Year

Easy find, cache was rather visible, have pushed a little further under.

We got to this cache the long way (via the cafe up the road - you can't beat a cafe with a playground inside it when you have a 4 year old.) We had a great time with a play around the water in the beautiful sunshine. Took Koala (we seem to always take what 'ewoks' have put in.) Left hi-lite pens. Thanks.

Our first Australian cache and a great one for views and our first look at the wildlife.

Found quickly in the morning before work while visiting from Brisbane.

Found the cache at 2.40pm. It was so beautiful place. I haven't been there before. I will bring my grandchildren back to this spot. TNLNSL Thanks for the hunt.

Called by this evening on a travel bug raid. Have now retrieved Water Game travel bug, my 60th bug retrieval. Cache is in good condition, but the water level is getting very close at the moment.

[This entry was edited by Aushiker on Sunday, August 21, 2005 at 5:49:12 PM.]

We would have never thought the water level could get near the cache. Maybe its going to be a bumper winter for us here in the west. We will keep a close eye on the cache logs.

Will definately have to bring the kids back to this spot! Thought it would also be a fabulous spot to drop off a travel bug we picked up earlier...... so leaving TB Water Game, unfortunately we didnt realise that someone else had also thought it would be a great spot to leave him earlier ( oops.... if anyone can help him on his journey and show him somewhere new that would be great! This was also our 50th find!

I didn't have time for a BBQ but enjoyed the walk and the hunt Thank you No Spiders 12.15

Hi Lynn, Pat & Nathan,

Thanks for a lovely walk after work, you may even have started a new excercise regime!! Great spot that being a local i have actually never walked through but around or closer to the water at least. A nice easy find too.

Took Smurf
Left Tazo

Thanks again for a lovely walk.

TOOK EAR PLUG HEADPHONES & DONATELLO TB

Nice walk on a beautiful day, visiting from Minnesota today - enjoyed lunch at the jetty, then took some pictures of the skyline on the way to the cache. Found the cache straight away, although I first thought I'd have to swim to get it! Took nothing, signed logbook #2, dropped in two TB's, and put the cache back safely for the next finders. Thanks for the cache, and for making it easy for us out-of-towners to find the correct area...after wandering Sydney in a daze, we sure appreciate it...TFTC!

In: Koalas to America, Donatello (Finding MaxB)

third find for the day with the family. im usually down here for the sky show and didnt even know that this spot was here. t4th
took pen with neck strap left martian and maccas toy

Found it easily. Nice afternoon out with the family.
SL T: keyring & pedometer L: headphones & thong keyring

Awesome place for a cache. I took the long route, walked over from Perth. Really enjoyed strolling in the area. Never would have found this area if you had not placed a cache there. Thanks millions from this Minnesota, USA gal. Enjoyed the find. Took Red Clip ring. Left a blue pedometer.

I found this cache as my first in Australia after our visit in the Perth Zoo.
A really nice Place with a great view.
A picture of our picnic which was ended by some ants follows.
Took Keyring
Left TB Watergame and Keyring-Book of my hometown Dresden.

Dropping off TB Jeep 4x4 #1071 - Saw TB Water Game there - so we grabbed it! Just logging this we see that Richo55 has taken off with the jeep! You gotta be quick!

Nice place, been here many times before without realising a cache was so close!

Had some spare time so we went for a walk and took the GPS 72. I had to look around for a few minutes to find this one. Had to get lisa to watch out for muggles.They were everywhere.
T:Nothing
L:Racing car and sticky tape.

Nice views of Perth and a pleasant walk from where I parked the car.

TNLN

We went out on a perfect Perth day (25c) to have breakfast and put a new log book into the cache. Start using it when the old one is completely full.
We removed a couple of damaged items. All other things seem fine. The cache is well hidden under the leaf matter.
We sat down for about 20 minutes reading the great log book entries from teams based in all parts of the world. Its Well worth the visit just to read them.

Cool cache - enjoyed it! My second cache, and my boyfriend's first!

t: travel bug - it's already in at another cache!
l: greeting cards (2) and candle

Called by on a travel bug raid. Picked up NC Cashbarn. Noted that Elizabeth's Dollar and a Dream Travel Bug has been taken but not yet logged. Easting Travel Bug is still in the cache. Cache is in good condition but the logbook is getting full. Was traveling light today so couldn't help with a replacement. Sorry about that.

Its hard to keep the water out of caches in winter ....if it needs bagging we will head out and check on it. We will wait to see what the next couple of cache logs say.

Stopped by to drop off Easting TB. Also picked up Elizabeth's Dollar TB but was waiting for ironcouple to log it in before we logged it out.

What a great location very relaxing, Easy find a bit wet though, TNLN SL thanks

Thank you for a great spot for visitors. Too early for a picnic, but great shots of Perth on a beautiful sunny and hot day. Left 2 TB`s that we brought over from NZ.
The Dollar TB and the Money Barne TB...which is part of race in the States.

Also left a Binito yoyo, and a small smurf. Took the NZ ziplock containing sticker and key chain.

Thank you
Ironcouple, Montreal Canada

YeeHaa – my 500th find!!! And what a lovely cache for my 500th at that! I hired a bike from across the river, and had a lovely day riding around Perth! I only had one minor problem with this one… Whilst I was waiting for all the muggles to disappear, I was bitten by a giant mozzie! Oh well, a little momento! Took a Penny, left a New Guinea coin. Thanks for the great cache Lyn Pat and Nathan!

Great spot.Not too many people around
Our first overseas cache
- shot glass
+ NZ stickers and keyring

Many people about on this cloudless day. I appreciated the shade.
+ feckle drops
- Dr Claw's claw
Thanks gang - M@

Another cache conquered in WA....
Easy to find, not many Muggles around but still in an area that is easy spotted by them, cache was slightly uncovered, whether it be due to the wind and rain or not quite enough time to rehide the cache I am not sure....
Took David Bourke footy card and left a Cairns shot glass

Will log some pics when I return to the north

Grabbed TB Roundball Rowdie while we were in the town and couldn't resist it. Confirmed the cache is a full of goodies.

just down the road from work, nice easy cache first one found
-Richo

Over on holidays from the east. Found with ease at night with geo-000. Left TB took small dog figure. Cache is getting quite full.

A cache getting "FULL". We dont think we have ever seen that written before. We are sure that some teams will come through and empty it in the future. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Perth

Just thought we'd pop in to do this one before catching the ferry, and it worked out just right.
A lovely little setting, found the cache OK, TNLN.
Thanks for setting this one,
The Coastway Cruisers.

Grabbed this one on the way home the other night, was quite a pleasant night, sat under a tree and read the log for a little while, it has bin there a while!

Took a crayon
left earplugs and a callling card

Thanks for the cache!
Tenille

This a great area for a cache. Found it easily and enjoyed the break. Left two small animal toys and TN. Thanks.

Found this one after dark- lots and lots of muggles about still- was shocked that so many people were also night owls! Lovely little spot- driven past here, and we've been further up the way picnicking before. Will bring Rhi here for sure She'd love it!
TNLNSL

Didn't even know this little den existed even though I've been down on the foreshore here plenty of times.

Had the place to myself and found cache quite quickly.

Relaxed in comfort on a bench in the shade and soaked up the peace and quiet whilst filling out the log book.

Took: Pen
Left: Pen with neck strap

Found easily in the daylight, we tried it the night before with a very sad torch. The foreshore here has changed a lot from the times I used to come here parking in my panelvan as a youth. Thanks for bringing us back to a lovely spot
Took American quarter and a fluffy clipon sheep
Left cute ceramic dog

Found cache... nice and easy. Excellent location, though very popular with muggles.
Took 'BEE-MINE' TB and pen - left 'DIVA' badge, blue crayon and our calling card. Thanks. 17:00

Second of the afternoon and a gentle stroll along the waterfront on a hot afternoon. Found in the obvious place at 14:40
TN Left TB "Bee Mine" and visit card
T4TC
Zensunni ( Anne & Ken )

Found during a lunch-time stroll - fortunate to see this view from my work. Nice relaxing place which you don't really notice is there.
Took nothing, Left sharpener & another pen. Pencil is once more operational - had a chuckle at the written log revealing who broke it[:o)]
Thanks for the walk.

Old Caver, friend Ed, and I found this on our second try (lesson learned: read the whole desciption before trying for the cache.) We used Trekker's coordinates, and they were right on. The three of us are from the US (two from Minnesota, and one from Maine) and this was our first international cache! Left a pen from our company (Internation Species Informational System) and some American coins. Took the cute little "I love Australia" kangaroo toy. Lynn, another US friend, donated the pen. TFTC - this was good fun!

Found an Aussie one, wow. ToysRGood and I on a "work" trip for Minnesota to Perth. No time to hunt for more as it is home bound tomorrow.

Thanks guys....We are honored by your visit and kind words. We placed this cache as its close to the city but introduces you to a slightly different view point to the usual kings Park scape that is seen on almost every postcard. We hope you managed to get to the nearby Perth Zoo (500metres or so away) but if not then we are sure you still got to have a feel of the Real perth. Thanks for the input.

Free parking does exist down here - just have to be lucky! You wouldn't expect an area like this existed here, quite a pleasant stroll. A couple of area beautifyers very close by (10m) who didn't see the find or the re-hide - engrossed in the job of weed-pulling I guess

Found it at 4:10 PM. TNLNSL. Cache in good condition. Thanks for the hunt.

The freeway was busy so took a detour on the way home from work with Dekra. Found in the obvious place at 18:00.

To think the whole of the Perth foreshore was probably like this at one time.

TNLN T4TC

...a third of the day... it's nice to see that even non-geocachers make their entries in the log-book and leave the cache as they found it....
TNLN

Found it after a bit of a search. Cache was quite full so I took the tiger keyring but left nothing.

Found at 10:46. It was an excellent day for a walk in the park. We found the cache very easy, although the GPS pointed us some 10 meters away. Took nothing, left nothing.

Decided to stop off here for a bbq lunch before tracking down a few caches. Have been here several times but didn't realise that a cache was located so near to here (but should have guessed as it's a popular area!). Bit tricky down to the amount of people (muggles!!) around and took us three attempts finally finding it as it was getting dark (and gaining a few mozzy bites for good measure [:(!][:(!])

T: Shell & pen
L: $1

1st Cache found in Perth metro area, whilst on weekend visit from Kalgoorlie. Nice little microcosm.
Took nothing, left Kalgoorlie Boulder holiday brochure (because I forgot to bring the trinkets).

Found it on perfect sunny winters day. Thanks. T-N L-N

Found during a quick ride around the river. Got sprung by the sparkies (LOL). TNLN

Amazing how different things look in the light of day. Found easily this time and a couple of 'muggles' thankfully have found and signed the log and even traded some items. The rain started to drizzle so we signed the log and headed for the car. BTW the last 6 parking spots at the end closest the cache are free parking for three hours only, the rest you need a ticket for.
Took - B1 (banana)
Left - Inspector Gadget
Thanx for the hunt Lyn, Pat and Nathan.

We searched by torchlight but the cache still remained elusive to TLC

Found by Skippy&Lambchops @ 4.40pm

When we found the cache we read the previous log in the book to find that the guys installing the lights on the boardwalk had found the cache accidentally.(Hint Hint ) They read the geocaching info sheet, cheers to them as they wrote in the book, did a swap and then replaced the cache. We walked passed some guys when we entered the boardwalk, hiding our GPS’s and looking interested in why there is a boardwalk here. Took us about 5 mins to find the cache and as Lambchops was writing in the logbook when 4 guys appeared….whoops we said and then chatted for the next 10 minutes about geocaching and the sights we get to see. Great guys to chat with and thanks also to them for alerting us to the Owl above that could have covered the screens of our GPS’s. Took Barbie Puzzle and Left Skippy and Lamb
You could make this a good night time cache now there are light installed.

Thanks Lyn Pat and Nathan

Once again I was glad of my trusty walking stick: it is useful for getting down caches that are high up, or low down, or under things, or in any spot that might be home to creepy and slithery things. Thanks for a nice wee cache.
Mama Bear Left

We set of thinking it would rain. We got blown along the path and found the site easily. It wasn't a hard site to find; but people didn't want to get their hands dirty. T; hotwheels car, a bird from the lion king and a chimp from the thornberries. L; Barbie jigsaw, a sticker, a banana in pyjama toy.

After tramping around for 3km or so at "This is Heresy", I set off on foot to find this cache. The views of the CBD from this side of the river are stunning. Perth: why would anybody ever leave the place? By the time I got to the cache it was well and truly dark. Fortunately, I had a torch, and the cache gave up without a fight.

All in all, about a six-kilometre walk. By the way: those people in South Perth really know how to live!

IN: Spinning, sparkly, noisy top
OUT: Fish key ring

Our third cache for the day. Yes, Freckle had done this one before with David G & Susie E. Left nothing took nothing.
Skinnacat & Skinny

I was here before when I first got my GPS. I was at the exact location but didn't have any experience. In fact, I looked on the wrong side, if I'd looked on the other side I would have found it. So this was my first search but my 3rd find. I live close to here so I made it my experimental cache and eventually I nailed it. 3rd time lucky, eh? I've passed this place many times never knowing there was a hidden treasure, great, thanks for the pleasure.
