Took the day off work to complete a few chores around the house, once these were done I decided to pick up a few unfound puzzles in Whiteman Park. Drove to the parking area and picked up three TBH for the puzzle and the cache.

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.
Thanks for the 3 great series Chwiliwr, Gwiber, TBH and Gwar.

Well my GCA statistics were telling me my finds are low on Friday's + the 15th of the month; so when both coincided I had no excuse, must get outdoors & collect finds. Well you know you're on an adventure when you're following kangaroo-made tracks, little evidence of humans. Had solved this puzzle some months ago, but of course waited to attempt multiple in this series.
Thank you Chwiliwr, tbh, Gwiber, Gwawr.

Have solved about 2/3 of these mysteries now, so slowly getting here to log them all. Had a couple of hours this afternoon, so decided to tick a few off my list.

Had a fairly quick find here after eliminating a few spots. Nice to find a goodie in this one after so many large empty containers. Thanks for the 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.

My Grandparents took me to Whiteman Park to do some caches. They got wet going back to the car after the last cache but I stayed dry. I could hear the steam engine whistle all the time and saw it on the tracks when we were near them.

Granddad signed the log signed for me.

Thank you for the cache.

It was one of the rare occasions that I get to have a casual weekend walk through the park these days, so I was most pleased to get the green light from the wife to take my daughter for some bush treasure hunting this afternoon. She has a keen eye, but is quite reluctant to lift or shift anything in the environment for fear that there may be some critter hiding there. We found a total of 19 overall in the park today, not a bad effort, given the dodgy weather. This was the first find of the day and one of the most challenging. We were not fully confident on the accuracy of the coords, but after eliminating many possibilities, we discovered the container in good condition and well hidden. TFTC tbh

Woohoo!! Happy Australia Day! FTF at 3:09pm!

I got home from the morning's riding and racing and saw these new puzzles published, and set about solving them. Once I had most of them done I headed out in the blistering heat to make the finds.

This was the first of the afternoon, and it took me a little while to find this one. I eventually found it very well hidden at -6E of the coords I had worked out.

Thanks for the puzzle and the cache tbh!
