Great find my Bear95. Enjoyed reading the history and taking in the area. Nice to see people out and about.
TFTC! Forgot a pen so heres a pic of my World Scholars Cup Alpaca near the cache location 
Really quick find I found it on my way out of school. Minton needs replacing very old and rusted.
Across from the eastern states for a spot of work and staying at the hotel nearby. Got sprung by a local dog walker as I was grovelling around for the cache. Can't understand why they gave me a wide berth 
While doing an ALC I collected several caches more or less along West Coast Drive 
. All of them could be found rather easily and they were replaced as found 
. Thanks for the variety and of courseTFTC

Strangely enough this is just across the road from our Muggle friends whom we visit often and had no idea it was here. Tftc, got a bit dirty on my white jacket though on this very rainy day.
Out and about again, the Cockburn Crew delayed the night run to Thursday as that worked out best. With a full car headed out to Como then to Duncraig via the zoo. Did a little bit of walking and added a few that L1.77 and I hadn’t found.
Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today
Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

FlyingPigSquadron has landed! again. Just checking for iluvtrekking. The cache is no longer a sistema which was how it was set but a mint tin. The log book is the original but looks like someone has swapped the container!
Found on an early morning walk from our accommodation. Always easy to make a search with no muggles around.
A quick stop and with the muggle just far enough away we made a quick find and sign in the logical spot. TFTC
Staying in an airbnb nearby and ventured down to this park to get mr6 out of the house.
G’day iluvtrekking, unfortunately I wasn’t able to find your cache today (Sunday 27/3/2022). Cheers for the hunt anyway!
Staying in the area for a little stay- cation before Christmas. Was not feeling terribly optimistic given the last entry was a DNF from almost a year ago.
Found this relatively quickly and was delighted to do so. Great spot for little kids to run about the place, and for a spot of history. TFTC iluvtrekking

Didn't manage this one. Perhaps a TOTT would have come in handy for me. Next time
We’re not having much luck finding geocaches on this trip! Hopefully we will have better luck next time
The cache was gone, it has now been replaced with a grey mint tin. Happy hunting.
Gawsh, driving around in awe of how "the other half live" . Keeping myself entertained today with a bit caching so I dont go shopping lovely park here which is in the middle pf being upgraded so was nice and quiet, tftc
Had totally forgotten to log this cache after finding it on holidays with Harrowang - had lost the piece of paper and just found it while having a spring clean up! TFTC!
A coffee and a cache - a perfect early morning combination with Renee from Beavar! The closest cache to our holiday accomodation that has been beckoning to be found for a few days. No muggles in the Park to distract us from our goal. SL at 7.53am Left: chicken TB to enjoy this seaside location. Took: Fremantle football club medallion. #6350 TFTC iluvtrekking
A full day out with Mr Z & Mr T, decided to grab some more of the available adventure lab caches and looked for some others we could grab while in the area.
One last find before heading back to Rocko with some tired but happy boys. As previously stated no longer attaches to the structure but well concealed. Left a eagles token that Mr T found in his pocket.
Thanks iluvtrekking for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1645 for me.

Magnets seem to serve no function but a well concealed and easy-at-hand cache. Cache and contents in good condition. Lovely park and I was the only occupant. TFTC
Found container however magnets were not very good. Great park and met a beautiful dog.

Was out and about caching with Horsesrule1990. Picking up some caches where possible. Tftc.
Nice little park. Met a little puppy who wanted to get in on the action. TFTC iluvtrekking
We loved reading the history of this place. If you could look back in time it would have been such a different place to what it is today.
The cache was a reasonable size bit was hard to spot in its dark location.

First find of my third Oz trip. Dropped off a TB from my hometown of Exeter. Safe travels.
Thanks.
Thanks.
A beautiful Monday to be out and about heading North of the river to cleanup a bunch of cachesz
Starting in Wembley and working out way up to Joondalup between the freeway and the ocean.
Beautiful day to be out in the burbs and having some fun. Thanks for the hide!

Found with axell33 on this LWE stay north of our Swan River. Fortunately the park was empty and with the day heating up they are more likely at the beach today! A quick find for us. Thanks for the cache, and enjoyed the knowledge of the history here.
We stayed in Sorrento overnight and could leave without grabbing this one. So after breakfast we ventured across and found gz muggle free. Leega grabbed the prize and took care of the signing duties while I enjoyed this beautiful park and the pink and greys playing with some magpies. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC iluvtrekking
DNF for us as we came and searched pretty thoroughly but a constant stream of park visitors made it hard to be stealthy so we left to catch the sunset after enjoying the tabletennis table
Found nice and easy once the muggles left the area. Took a photo of my find as my pen was out of ink. TFTC
Great co ords led us straight to it.
Found on a drizzly day spent caching the Northern suburbs.
TFTC iluvtrekking this is find # 3968 for us.

Quick easy find whilst walking back from aqwa aquarium.
Not sure why the description says it's now a mint tin - the container I found fits the hints description.
Anyway - tyftc - #dinkusworldtour

Firstly apologies for the late log - I was looking for some reasonably local caches to load up on the GPS at the weekend and suddenly realised I had failed to log a few that I'd found from over a month ago - sorry. On the plus side it was good that I still remembered this one - the sign of a decent hide! Liked this one for the history, both on the cache page and also at the park, very interesting. Being a newbie here in Perth (just a couple of years) I often wonder what the area looked like even 10-20 years ago, let alone the 1840's! I remember coming here in the early evening and feeling thankful the park was deserted as I had to get down and dirty a couple of times on the search - soon paid off though as it was on the second side I looked (50/50 chance hey!). Thanks for bringing me here and of course TFTC
Found with Charlie 4
Staying nearby on the weekend and in the morning went for a walk across the road to the park to look for the cache
We enjoyed watching the fireworks at Hillarys the previous evening and then stayed for a meal.
Such a nice park, Charlie enjoyed playing on the equipment but it was obvious that he is getting a bit big for this size play equipment
The monument was very interesting to read the information
I was wondering how long ago this depression changed from a pond to what is now a grassy park
The cords for the cache were pretty good
Once we took a bit of time checking carefully for the hiding spot it was an easy find
The information on the cache page was very informative and i enjoyed learning a bit of hidden Perth history
