Description
Walk to a couple of locations to recieve the co-ords for the cache.
The given co-ords are for parking NOT for the cache. Very close to the parking location you should find a nice shiny sign with a map at the top of it. Use this map to reveal some of the missing co-ords.
The cache can be found at S31°48.ABC' E115°59.DEF' where:
A = The grid point number of 'All Saints Church' G?
C = The gridpoint number for 'The Coffe Hut' I? minus the grid point number for 'Talijanich winery' J?
D = The grid point number for 'St Mary's Church' H? minus the grid point number for 'Lamont's' L?
E = The grid point number for 'Lilac Hill Park' D? minus the grid point number for 'Caversham House' F?
F = The grid point number for 'Margaret River Chocolate Co.' E? minus the grid point number for 'Mussel Pool' A?
To get the answer to B you now need to walk over to the swing in the playground and find the manufacturers plaque.
B = The last digit of the phone number
You should now have the completed co-ords and can find the cache.
The cache is a camouflaged 1.2ltr Sistema with the usual log, pencil & swaps. There is also a 1stTF prize and a 1stTF, 2ndTF & 3rdTF certificate.
Congratulations to The Red Devils for being 1stTF

This geocache appears to be MIA so to stop it clogging the search lists we'll archive it. If the owner can confirm it is in place the listing can be resurrected by placing an "unarchived" log against it.
Unfortunately this cache looks like maintenance maybe required.
To ensure future finders have an enjoyable experience in both finding the cache and visiting the area, a check on this cache is recommended.
If the cache still seems to require maintenance within 28 days, Geocaching Australia will archive the cache to stop it appearing on cachers lists / PQ's.

Excellent job Outenabout! I enjoyed this as much as my 12 yr old son did. Nice touch with determining the cache coordinates 
cache in good order still!

Last cache for the day, twelve found in total. Found all the information without too much trouble. The last two digits on the phone number are getting a little faint, they appear to be rubbing off, all good for the moment. Cache was found OK, thanks for the hunt. Quite a busy car park today.
After 18 holes of mini golf and a great feed at mash I thought I walk would be a great way to end the day so I could check on my cache. It is still in perfect condition and exactly where it should be.
Finally dropped in today to do this one. Driven past so many times. Since I work in the mapping industry, it's great to see one put to good use
Quickly found the necessary info and found the cache right where the coords said it would be. TFTC

Finally, even though I have not logged finding or not finding this cache before, it finally couldn't hide any longer 
. The cache was practically in plain sight. I thought that I must have missed it heaps of times over and over 
. Luckily, I have had some practice from caches on the world wide site before revisting the cache. Thanks to this the cache was found withen 5 minutes

While the geo-wife headed over the road to locate the GC cache I collected the required info, did the numbers and fortunately came up with a viable set of co-ords.
Yes, nice and easy... if you'r not numerically challanged, don't have fat fingers and have some small amount of map reading skills.
Must be cache burn out, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

A nice simple multi after doing a few caches in the hills. TFTC.

Why not stop for some caches while in the area? Visited the margaret river chocolate factory and Yahava coffee before this one. Easy and straight forward to figure out. Thanks very much for the convenient multi! Found it with nikitak during a break in the very wet weather, we made it to the cache and back again just in time before it bucketed down. TNLN. TFTC!

I had such a hard day at work today, normally I work around Rockingham but today we headed to Henley Brook to play Laser Tag.
Arriving a bit early for the game, I realised I had time to complete this cache and the GC traditional before we started. I collected the required information as the rain started falling, but I was lucky and didn't get too wet as I went for the prize. Even though the clouds were ominous, I had good GPSr reception all day and I quickly found the cache in its hidey hole.
I didn't make any swaps today, only signed the log
Thanks for the cache Outenabout
Cheers

Found today after my friend and I finished work close by, dont understand why we havnt gotten around to it already.. we work 1km down the road and I show the map to customers almost every day.. Guess I should have looked earlier and all I would have needed was the swing coords haha.. oh well, great cache, loved the abandoned treehouse nearby.

Had to work out the coordinates whilst avoiding a birthday? party in the buildings nearby. Lucky the small children were not playing on the swings so got the last part OK.
Found the cache soon after. Thanks for the cache.

A very well thought out multi - we enjoyed working out the co-ords. Thanks Outenabout.
Great little multi! Enjoyed working out the coords, and a nice walk over to an easy find. Thanks for the cache!

Found around half past ten - can't have been long before blingg. Difficulty rating probably spot on. Young kids loved the playground and helped find the final clue. Finally got a STF, much happiness with the certificate.
Took car, left poncho, thanks Outenabout!

Came up here yesterday evening after work as this tops of near to home cache hitlist. Got all the numbers but made a bit of a mess of things when i just tried to replace the final "three" numbers of each co-ord with ABC...AND...DEF
Must have been the cold as i didnt think to change the East degree as is required (i only had the parking coordinates with me in my haste to get here)
Anyway...not sure if all that makes sense..LOL..But came up here again this morning for a nice easy find on a fine morning.
Many thanks for the Path Tag and certificate, and its always nice to get a FTF. I must have driven past here hundreds of times and never knew this little reserve existed, thanks for bringing us here today.
