Description
There are lots of caches on the central and western parts of Whiteman Park but nothing to the east until today. Decided to fill a big gap over this side of the park.
Park in the carpark provided and walk along the walk tracks provided. It is a short distance to the cache from the car park. You will see lots of kangaroos.
You are looking for a nano size cache but the host is bigger than a nano. You might need a geo extraction tool to get the log out and you will need a geo writing impoliment to sign the log.
Enjoy the different view on this side.

Found a blue & white volley ball nearby, but suspect that's not it. Otherwise nothing obvious here, perhaps muggled.
Don't spend much time over this part of Whiteman, so it was really nice to take a stroll after work today.
Found the container, and had a chuckle. Next I tipped it over in my hand to extract the log book container, out it fell...onto the sandy ground...I didn't see where it went
Spent longer looking for that, than I did the cache itself LOL
eventually found it again and spent another 5 minutes trying to extract the roll, Gee it was in tight
All in all, quite the adventure. Oh, heaps of kangaroos, who kind of just stood there watching me, wondering what the heck I was up to

I took the family out for a drive and we called in to find this cache on our travels. The better half and I went past this cache when it wasn't there but tried anyway at the time. Glad it has been replaced so it can be found again.
Found the cache without problems.

Chwiliwr took us out for a drive and we called in to find this cache on our travels. Was a pleasant walk to ground zero and we saw the same group of Kangaroos that we had disturbed on the other side of the bush when getting the last moveable.

This geocache appears to be MIA so to stop it clogging the search lists we'll archive it. This is done to keep the Geocaching Australia clean and up to date.
If the owner can confirm it is in place the listing can be resurrected by placing an "unarchived" log against it.

After finding the nearby GC cache I doubled back here for a quick find in the first place I looked.
Not the first such cache I've found, but the first of a GCA variety. TFTC

FTF! Out for a walk with the kiddies. Found a few creepy crawlies to go with this one. I thought the coords were a smidge out, but an easy scout of the area provided the find. Nicely constructed. Thanks for the cache.
