Beachside Scarborough, Western Australia, Australia
By Blingg on 04-Jul-08. Waypoint GC1DVA4

Cache is still there although the plaque is now missing, so it's getting archived

The whole beachside area has been bulldozed into oblivion including the cache. no longer there apart from sand sand and sand and a massive fence around the whole area.

the whole beachside area has been bulldozed and fenced off. the would have been bulldozed into oblivion. needs archiving

Originally logged under family name of clan-wallace now slowly transitioning to new name

NZJ. Plaque inaccessable. Theres currently road works and construction going on and whole area is fenced off.

We gathered the info for the coords for this one last year but could not get anywhere near the GZ on that day due to high muggle activity right on top of it. Today is too cold for Polar Bears, let alone Muggles, so we we made a leisurely find & went on our merry way. TFTC

I had tried to grab this one earlier this year on a visit to ikea and m4yb's place. But being summer school holidays the place was alive with muggles. 6 months later and the winter school holidays painted a different picture. (I can only manage a special School Holiday NOR visa every 6 months) I think the wind blew them away and the remaining ones were tucked away inside behind the blinds. So a quick find with Clan-Wallace was made today and I can finally cross this one off my list. TFTC blingg

Tftc, had to wait for muggles to leave to make the find, miss c made a quick discovery then jumped a mile when opening the cache and an interesting item jumped out! Still a few spots on the log, unfortunately the cold weather left our pen dead and could not sign

Bit of checking and re-checking we finally found the caches gz.
Nice short multi cache.
Thanks heaps

First one we've cracked using coords rather than than the ones provided (and the phone). Log is almost full and it's bed time. www.thesoloavocado.com

After a long walk in several directions & redoing our coordinates we finally found it . M K J . A late well deserved lunch . Thanks for the hide .

First GeoCache find great spot.

After arriving in WA for work this week I found this cache this afternoon after checking into a nearby hotel. This was also my first WA cache and a nice and easy multi, plus doing a new cache that was closest to home in Sydney on the way to the airport made this find 3,250 klms between two caches on the same day. Now while logging this find I am enjoying dinner and the sun setting over the ocean, thanks.

TFTC a nice spot to sit out of the sun.

So much fun!!

Found this cache together with Philippluca while visiting Scarborough beach. Nice plate at the start and was easy to solve. Thanks for showing!

Found this cache together with Jack Dalton while visiting Scarborough beach. Nice plate at the start and was easy to solve. Thanks for showing!

Easy multi to scope out before a yoga Christmas party I was invited to. TFTC

Cool little multi. Got the details at first way point then went off for lunch to solve final GZ. When we got to the spot there was a gothic muggle who said ah! You are geocaching! Thanks .

A nice quick find with McLookers while we were out for a run this morning before breakfast. Very interesting information that I don't think we would have seen or read if not for geocaching. Thanks blingg.

A straightforward multi that we found early this morning. GZ was free of muggles. Thanks blingg, great information and great spot.

Found it. Staying in the apartments across the road from the plaque so no excuse. Our first cache outside the UK and first multi-cache. Big day!

Great hiding spot and nice simple multi! Just like the previous finder, I have had the coordinates worked out for a while but never managed to find GZ quiet enough to look for the cache. Finally had a win today, helped by the rainy weather. Thank you for the cache blingg.

I've been eying this cache for months, it helps me complete 2008 of the JASMER challenge. I've had the coordinates for the final GZ for a while but every time I've driven past it has been occupied so I've never been able to attempt it. Early morning start and today the site was free so I sat and watched the World go by. I felt around for the cache and found it where I expected it to be. TFTC blingg

A wonderful day to catch up with friends at the beach and do some geocaches together. Nice cache that showed me a place that most of the people never noticed. After collecting the numbers it was an easy find and log even with loads of muggles around.

Found plaque with sea horses

Dropped off a new container

My first cache in Scabs, certainly not the last. TFTC
(The cache needs maintenance - lid is broken)

Ari mum and dad

Surprised some guy finding this! Cool as treasure hunt. Left a penny. With En_Ros. Box might need replacing soon!

There were muggles around for my last visit and was forced to give up. Luckily this time the gz is exclusively for us and I found it with Bissravicky. Tftc and puzzle!

Found it with BissraFranky. We solved this multi the other day but wasn't available to search at GZ. Today we had lunch at City Beach, took a detour to uncover this one. Container is broken CO may want to replace it. SLTFTC blingg

Having flown in the night before from Melbourne, I was awake early so I thought I would look for the cache before breakfast. I arrived at GZ before the sun was up and in the early morning twilight I could barely see the plaque let alone make out any details.

Expecting that it was going to be an early breakfast, I took a photo with a flash...that at least gave me enough detail to find answers for A to E. Wondering how I was going cope without F, all of a sudden my problem was solved. As the time for sunrise approached the ambient light levels rose dramatically and I could then read all the necessary details...I could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I had slept for another 10 minutes...

With the final co-ordinates determined I was off in hunt for the cache...not that it was all that easy. I was only using my iPhone so I was simply walking and watching my current location until that got close to the target...which was rather obvious as I closed in on it. With a little acrobatics I spotted the cache and soon had it hand and was signing the log...that done, it was time for breakfast.

Thanks blingg for this cache...my only WA find this trip.

Quick find early in the morning. Marauding nearby for an ultimate tournament here in Perth. Tftc!

We only had time to grab one cache today so thought we'd come back here and chance our luck that GZ was clear. We'd found the necessary numbers on an afternoon down the beach over Easter weekend, however there was no chance we'd get the final then as the area was swarming with muggles. Having finished today's business we thought we'd swing by again late this afternoon, and thankfully this time we had the place to ourselves. Pleased our numbers had come together properly first time round and happy to make a nice quick find of the final here today Thanks for a neat little multi and of course TFTC

With some assistance checking my faulty numbers, I now have this one.
Read the plaque, and stick to it. I was misled when I further researched the house and was given a bum steer. Blingg set me straight again.
Thanks for this one.

Complies to the CoS bureaucratic rules

The Stirling City Council have made new rules for their Bushland, Coastal Dunes, Wetlands areas and includes any other area affected by dieback within the boundaries of the council local government area. These new rules can be found at [url=https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Western+Australia]https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Western+Australia[/url] and will affect already published caches within the council area.

This cache listing has been identified as being one of the approximately 85 existing caches that are located in one of the areas identified by the new rules and must be checked so is being temporarily disabled until the status of the cache is determined as complying or non complying with these new rules.

If this listing complies with the new rules then it can be enabled again but a note must be placed on the cache stating that the cache complies with the rules.

If it is determined that this cache does not comply then the owner is requested to remove the cache for the existing location and archive the listing.

If you wish to replace the cache at some other location within the Stirling City Council Local Government area that does comply with the new rules please submit a new cache listing for the new location.

Hi,

Took it on a small tour around beautiful Scarborough beach. Attaching a picture. Thanks for good learning cache.

A lovely day on Scarborough beach. Just had to get a couple more caches logged before flying back to UK on Sunday. A well thought out cache great views. TFTC Favourite point added.

After initially stuffing up the questions with poor maths skills I realised my error, fixed it and made a quick find. TFTC.

Great spot!
East find. In good condition.
Lots of muggles!

Found quickly, but it took a while to log, due to Muggles, TFTC!

Had worked out the coords a few days ago but there were muggles at GZ and I was unable to retrieve the cache. Came back today and had the cache in hand within seconds.

Cache Condition: Excellent. Secure and dry.

Thanks for yet another nice cache blingg.

I was trying to get the information from the plague with bike and muggles zooming pass, It took awhile to get and I am glad i made a quick find...TFTC

Half of the FFLL team is out of Canberra traveling for work this week. Not quite adjusting to the time difference saw FFLL no 2 up way to early so she had time to collect some caches before heading to the airport to catch her flight to Darwin. Nice stroll in the early morning light, collected the information and headed along to gz for a quick find.

TFTC and for bringing us to this special place

Found today whilst relaxing at the beach with Kimmoose. Whilst on the way to the cache we saw some guy walking his goats around the block. And yes they were definitely goats! The things you see while geocaching!
N.B. I ripped out a bit of the log as someone had written something very inappropriate on it, no ones log has been removed though.
TFTC

First multi!

First multi-cache for me, loved it ! Thanks !

Calculated the coordinates a couple of months ago, but never had the chance to visit the final location abandoned. Tonight after running around a number of tricky tree-climbing caches in the area we decided to give this one a chance and eventually found the cache. TFTH.

Nice multi. Thanks for the hide!

Took quite some time for us to find WP1 as it had been raining and the water was covering what we were looking for. After locating said plaque it was only a matter of putting new co-ords into GPS and making our way to GZ. Being a cold wet wintery day, there was no one around, so a quick find of the cache was made.
Thanks for a nice easy multi at one of our beautiful beaches.

TFTH blingg

Was out on a caching run with skippy 46 on a very wet and wintery day. We decided to take the freeway and im not sure if we made a mistake as it took us an hour and a half to get to the first cache...We were on a time limit as skippy 46 had an appointment in perth in the afternoon but we still managed to find 18 caches with no DNFS in three and a half hours. Most caches were found quite quickly which was good as a few times we got rained on.... These are the sort of multi,s i like, nice and easy. I think it took us longer to find the plaque then it did to work it out lol.....Once we had the co-ords the cache was found quickly TFTC blingg

Took a little while to decode the puzzle. Quite enjoyable.

Good cache with a small puzzle. TFTC

Out for a spot of lunch nearby on this blustery and showery day. Needed a cache for the calendar so we thought we'd pick this one up. With the appalling weather we drove straight past the plaque! but found it easily enough when we ventured outside the geocar. Quickly plugged in the answers and off to the final GZ. With the weather so horrible it was an easy find but I imagine that on most occasions this would be a tough one to lay your hands on. TFTC Blingg - always good to have a cache/multi that works out as it should

Easy when you get the no.s right.

Lovely walk along Scarborough beach. Kids learnt a little history. TFTC

A DNF here for me today. We're over here for the Surf Lifesaving Championships and staying nearby. Coords were quickly gathered while the rest of the team got their stuff out of the shipping container which is in the compound right by WP1.

A short walk later, I discovered that the general area of GZ has become the boat compound, with officials camped right on top of where I calculated the cache should be.

I will try to come back later in the week, but not not sure how long the officials will be camped here, it might have to remain forever a DNF for me

Shoulda been here yesterday.....

Found the plaque, calculated the final coordinates, but GZ was too busy today. Will come back later.

Sweet! I get to log my first cache in Perth! It was good to have caches within walking distance of the hotel. I left a little pathtag for the N2F. Enjoy!

I checked out the plaque about a week ago and gathered the required numbers but ran out of time to hunt the cache. This morning it was an easy find after dropping my daughter at kindy. Tftc blingg

You ripper fd it after dodging muggles with kalz24

I had gathered the required information after last year's Australia Day swim at SSLC but could not access GZ for the crowd. This Australia Day I checked out GZ before the swim and managed to navigate around a couple of muggles to make the find. Great spot and views of the ocean.

Thanks blingg for the cache.

This is my kind of multi. Nice and Easy! A quick find with semi-muggle friend after dinner at the nearby Wild Fig. Only drama was dodging the drunken and aggressive riff-raff near GZ. TFTC

Quick find while we waited for our fish n chips!!
Thanks Blingg

This was a really fun cache! Took us ages to decipher the hint though because of the high amount of muggles and cyclists! TFTC

At long last a muggle free time, well a few nearby, but this time I was able to really zone in and locate. About my 4th or 5th attempt over quite a long period.
I really enjoy this time of year being able to have a nice swim before heading off to the work place, such a lovely spot. Thanks blingg a very clever and interesting hide.

Awesome find! Was near this cache for the last few days while talking about attempting this one! Perfect day as no muggles about! Really enjoyable. TFTC

I've been staying close to here on a work trip from Port Macquarie, NSW and have been eyeing this one off but until now haven't had the time to attempt it. Made time tonight before flying home tomorrow morning but even with heaps of Muggles around at 10:30 thought that this was the only chance I'd get.

Say down at a seat near GZ and worked out the puzzle. Pinned the final co-ords into the phone and did the walk to the final location. With Muggles parked nearby and showing no signs of leaving, I felt around where I thought would be a spot I would hide the cache and within a few seconds... "Bingo"!

TFTC. Was enjoyable. Back to the East Coast tomorrow!

Found it.

Woohoo, can finally cross this off my list after solving it ages ago. This was my third visit here after the other 2 turned into fails as the place was being used. Quick find today. TFTC.

NIce stroll to GZ. TFTC

After doing the calculations...we wandered to the shops then came here to make the find, beautiful sunset as well. Thanks for bringing me here. TFTC

We found it this after discovering the previous one had gone missing.

The hardest part wasnt finding the plaque or filling in the numbers... but finding a muggle-free moment! Third time lucky just before sunset, my 13th find! TYFTC!

That was great fun!! Loved it!

TFTC

Found while out at sunset with Jakl-B-hide. Greetings from New Zealand.

A bit of a detour with a mistake in the calculations initially. A quick sunset find after that.
Tftc SL

Found this one a while back and forgot to log. Love the location and puzzle tftf

Rather than get on my hands and knees to get the information (poor eyesight) I took a high-resolution picture this morning and using the zoom feature on my camera calulated the answers over some excellent pancakes and strong coffee at the Fig Tree. I actually had to go back later to see if I did it right but there was the cache, spot on.

Found @ 14:18!

Find #01 on an impromptu caching run after visiting a friend in Scarborough. Caught two buses to get there, but decide to walk back and find a few caches on the way!

I had calculated an approximate Final Location for this cache months ago, but the suspected GZ was always swarmed with muggles so never had the chance to get there!

Today, there were a few muggles at a nearby bench and a muggle-mum with pram arrived and started chatting on the phone facing me!

After searching the more accessible places I then moved to search the slightly more inaccessible places while their heads were turned...

Made a very quick discovery in the most likely hiding spot on the object and retrieved the cache (with some rust stuck to the magnet)!

Glad to have finally been able to tick this one off my list!

TFTC!

We rechecked out numbers and we think we are confident of the location....we read all the other logs and reading between the lines thay confirm the location....

We found nothing so it may be MIA.

Nice cache location but as you mentioned in a previous log, it may need relocating.

Maybe next time we are out here we will have another try.

Solved with SG and quick and easy find. TFTC.

(:

Cache missing and once again replaced, next time I will find another site for it

Dang, took a photo of the plaque while there yesterday and just solved the puzzle ... will await its return

After doing the calcs and reading the logs we were absolutely certain we were in the right place while eating lunch purchased at the nearby kiosk. A thorough search failed to locate the cache.

My caching luck today has been terrible! I headed out with the intent of finding 20 odd caches, but my bike broke down and I ended up finding two! Nonetheless, this was one. And it was a great one! Thanks for the cache!

Talk about a saga! I visited the plaque 3 times and came up with 3 sets of co-rds!! Finally found my way with set no 3 to GZ. Quick find after that TFTH

Quick one but nice. Tftc

Our first WA Geocache. Found on a lovely sunny Sunday morning. So many muggles about but their dogs provided a suitable distraction for us to both find the cache and replace it. Thanks for the cache.

Visiting from the Sunshine Coast. On the Sunday I braved death by cyclists and found all the clues. Made my way to GZ and there were muggles there. Came back Monday morning and found in good condition but I forgot to bring a pen. Came back a couple of days later in a howling gale and found that someone had placed the container out in the open. The log book was now very wet and although I had a pen this time I had a great deal of trouble signing the log. I found a dry patch in the middle of a page though. Quite a saga but got there in the end. Thanks blingg

Nice day to be at the beach

Great little found early morning. Lovely coffee nearby to help start the day.

Had to wait half an hour for bunch of people to leave but go it.

Found with IanJ65

Easy find. Tftc

An easy find. TFTC - it helped us find a kiosk that we didn't know was there.
