Came back twice for this, and spent a while looking around the general area. Unfortunately could not find it This was my second foray into geocaching, perhaps I just missed it

There were some signs of maintenance (pruned trees etc.), wonder if the cache was moved?

Found It!
Very quiet here today. After looking in a few wrong trees I got the right one and found the cache! Nice little spot.

Had to be at Mount Hospital at 7.15am for tests and then after lunch in Subiaco for another test. First tests finished before 8.30am so Mr dimor drove around getting GA and GC caches and going to some places we've never been.

Was a good day and the weather was a tad humid but still good for a walk

I headed to this one while Mr dimor enjoyed the view.

Plenty of ants at GZ and log was wet, a little water in the cache that I emptied out

Took the better half, Gwawr and Gwiber out for a drive all over the place to pick up some GCA caches and to check out some possible new trig points (none found unfortunately). Cache was found without problems but log seemed to be damp even in the bag as the container was damp also.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks ROSS1957 for the cache.

Chwiliwr took us all out for a drive all over the place and this cache was one of the ones we visited. Log seemed a bit damp but still OK to be signed and was. Container put back where we found it.

Thanks ROSS1957 for the cache.

Planning for this trip began in June - we knew we would be heading to Adelaide but which way would we go? This depended on our targets. We looked at our list of unclaimed Dragon Zone trophies and picked out several that we could feasibly collect the required number of finds to qualify for the trophy. We then had to identify caches that would meet our targets and from here it was time to plan a route that would take us past the caches we had identified. Any caches too far off our route were discarded and replaced by suitable alternatives.

All was running smoothly until the Christmas in July game was announced. We would be travelling in the latter part of the game. It was difficult to include this in our target caches as we did not know what was required. Once the game began and we understood what we needed to do we could then add other caches to the target list.

We were just getting our heads, yes all four of them, around this when more Dragon Zone trophies were added. Which ones could we meet and which should we ignore? Do we need to add more GA caches and/or do we need to change our route and our targets? We decided on our target list and then our route and timeline. We had just drawn a line under everything and were about to begin printing our caching booklets, route maps and target lists when caught@work published 23 new caches on the Western Ring Path. Earlier we had decided on the caches in the Edgewater Walk series. If we added the new ones on the Western Ring Path and as many of the CCC series as possible, we could probably reach the required number of caches to qualify for the Dragon Zone trophies “Restraining Order Stalker” (Find 100 DZ caches hidden by the same cacher) and “Obsession!=Insanity” (find 50 DZ caches in a day). As the latter would give us our first Blaze Trophy, it was decided to alter everything to include the CCC series.Four Fun, in South Australia published five puzzle caches that would bring good points in the Christmas in July game. Can we solve the puzzles? A few more adjustments to the route and the caches to find list and we would be off.

Having successfully completed our Melbourne challenges and gained our first Blaze Dragon Zone trophy it was time to focus on the Christmas in July game. We started on the Kenneth Stirling Conservation Park puzzle caches recently published by Four-Fun. With Four-Fun's puzzles found, several of J_&_J's puzzles found and the Christmas in July game over it was time to focus on completing the requirements for a few more Dragon Zone Trophies.

When we knew that there was a possibility that we would have a break from grand parent duties we had planned this slight detour so that we could find both GA and GC caches that would meet the requirements for several Dragon Zone trophies and several GC challenge caches in several states. As we had already visited all states and territories except Western Australia this year it was time for us to hop on a plane and head for Perth, Western Australia.

We have never been to this lovely spot so enjoyed our first visit. It is a really pretty spot even on an over cast day. We had no trouble locating the well hidden cache. Container and contents were in very good condition.

Thanks for the cache Ross1957 and for bringing us to yet another lovely spot

With the GCA winter event nearing the end, I embarked on a last minute cache run to grab a couple of geocaches.
Quick find here, love the camo. TFTC.

I've never found any moveables here, but I am familiar with this area from previous caching adventures and some bike rides along the river. The cache is still going strong, quick straightforward find. TFTC ROSS1957
