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 as i approached from the right direction and spotted it very quickly and signed the log just as quick.
Thanks for the 3 great series Chwiliwr, Gwiber, TBH and Gwar.

Solved the puzzle some time ago so today I set out with Lazarus to find a few more caches and cross them off the list. This one was found without any trouble, helps when you have a previous finder with you. Signed the log and continued on our journey around the series.

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.

I've 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.
This one was a quick solve and a quick find, given some of the others. A lovely walk through this area. Thanks for the puzzle and 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.

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.

I had a free afternoon to myself so I took the opportunity to clean up a few remaining caches in Whiteman Park that I hadnt got a chance to previously. After much difficulty at the last cache, this was thankfully an easy one, which I managed to spot from about 10m away as I approached GZ. TFTC tbh
Woohoo!! FTF at 3:16pm! Another lovely afternoon for a walk in Whiteman Park.
When I saw that this one was corrected I cracked the code and solved the puzzle to get the coords I needed. After not being able to find the previous cache I was very happy to make a quick and easy find here. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache tbh.
