Was in Whiteman Park today finding a few solved mystery's. I'm still working on some of them, determined to solve them all (four to go) The walk in was quite pleasant in the cool overcast conditions, not many people around during the week. Managed to find the cache without too much trouble.

Hi i was in whiteman park to find some of the series today but i could not find this cache. The log and tree at the gz is covered with a very large limb with a large amount of foliage that has crashed down. I did speak to a fellow cacher who told me that she found this cache very easily and was unsure about getting wet and she told me of the gz description which matches perfectly with what i saw at the gz. It might be advantageous for the co to check on this cache to confirm or allay my suspicions and maybe take a pruning saw to clear the area if in fact i am right. Thanks for the cache all the same and your understanding.
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.
NOTE: concerned this cache positioned close to river, despite normally low level, may get wet after heavy rain?
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.
Thought I was going to get my feet wet for this one, but thankfully stayed dry. Made a swap for a little cutie I found in this one. Signed and returned.

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.

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. With about 50m to go, I was thinking that this one will probably be underwater, but amazingly the water levels seem to a quite low for this time of year. We did check a few different hiding places, before he locked onto this one. TFTC tbh
Woohoo!! FTF at 5:22pm.
After solving this one earlier in the day I enjoyed a lovely walk to GZ, and was happy to make a quick and easy find once there.
Thanks for the puzzle and the cache tbh!
