I was on my 4 days off and decided to head out to Whiteman park to clean up a few caches today. I spent a few weeks solving the C series and some of the P and W series. It was fun solving several of the puzzles in particular the jigsaws. I love solving jigsaw puzzles. As yet i have not solved all of them as i need some help with some of them. I printed off the Whiteman Park map and plotted all the coordinates into my phone on cgeo and then roughly plotted them on the map. This then gave me the opportunity to work out where to park and what caches to get from each parking spot.

I parked at a few different locations and did large loop walks collecting caches one of which was quite large due to the Keith Maine Centre being closed. I spent about 6 and a half hours walking and logging caches in the heat which was quite draining today. Luckily i had plenty of water and fruit to keep me going. The easterly breeze offered some respite from the heat but more so in the shade. All up i walked 10+km's which i did enjoy and only saw 6 kangaroos and one bobtail lizard.
All up i found 30 of the 31 solved caches in the series.
This cache was a very quick find and just as quick signing the log. Luckily this cache is still there as the tree has been cut down but the stump has lots of new shoots on it.
Thanks for the 3 great series Chwiliwr, Gwiber, TBH and Gwar.

Headed out after the event with Lazarus to pick up a few of the mystery caches we had solved. We managed to get a few crossed off the list but left others for another day. There was one where we had the incorrect coordinates, so will have to go back to the drawing board on that one, and we still have some awaiting that moment where it all clicks together. All the finds were made fairly quickly. Many thanks for the caches.

Solved this one some time ago, but waited until after today's event to find & sign log.
Walked the trails hearing frequent buzzing coming from nearby Model Aircraft Club.
Thank you Chwiliwr, TBH, Gwiber & Gwawr for this stimulating series of mental challenge variety.
This is #12 of 27 in series found today. We must return to locate others we've solved.

I had a spare hour today, so thought I would head out and grab a small handful of these mystery caches that we had solved. Many more to go!

Not much of the hide left at GZ, but a quick find none-the-less. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache!

Kinda felt like a FTF with a new log book to sign A perfect evening for a stroll up here, thanks.

Out with the family doing the Whiteman Park puzzles and dodging the rain. Only got wet going back to the car after the last cache. Enjoyed the smell of the steam engine who passed us a few times on our various walks to the caches from where we had parked the car.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thank you for the puzzle and cache.

Took the family to Whiteman Park and did a few walks around the trails to do the puzzle caches. Managed to stay dry by sheltering when it looked like showers but got wet walking back to the car from the final cache. All caches were found OK and apart from one in good condition.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thank you for the puzzle and cache.

Disregard last maintain as that was the other one needing fixing.

Cache container replaced at same location and hint changed.

A new cache has been placed at the Xmas tree about 6m south. Puzzle not changed but info added to listing.

Another where the host at GZ has been heavily pruned. Searched around for awhile but no sign of a cache

I was looking for something to do today and thought a trip to Whiteman park might be in order. I noticed that there were a few GA puzzle caches up here now so had a quick to see if I could solve a few to add to the target list. I managed to solve a few in the evening and set off this morning with the hope of being FTF on a few that hadn't yet been found. TFTC.

Woohoo!! FTF at 5:13pm.

I saw these ones published while I was down south trying to find the new caches around Leeming, Bull Creek and Jandakot, but didn't have time to look at them as I had to rush back to meet my husband at the movies. After the movies we had a coffee, and I started solving them over coffee.

This one was very straight forward to solve and I enjoyed a nice walk to GZ despite it being a little bit warm. At GZ it took me quite a while to make the find, but I was not leaving empty handed here.

Thanks for the puzzle and the cache Gwawr!

Ready to be found.
