The Robots' Runway Perth Airport, Western Australia, Australia

As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Didn't have up-to-date info (stuff printed out on 12/2). Thought my powers were waning.

The cache container was found yesterday along with the contents, strewn across an area of the park some way from the GZ. Will fix up and place back in coming days.

Looked log and hard for this cache today, with no joy will chk my co-ords and come back another day.

Searched for a while but not extensively as there were hundreds of muggles in the park playing base ball! Will come back on a weekday.

One of those great park I never would have gone to if not for geo cacheing

biggest cache I've found so far.

Nice big hide. Came to swap a trackable but none to be found. Oh well. Hey TFTC. No snakes to be seen...

Our first ever find! Thanks for a great cache!

Great sized cache for a change in a city full of nanos and micros. TFTC.

Nice ezy find TFTC

Great cache! LNTN
Getting harder to find as summer gets closer.

Easy fond but no trackables here

thanks from the welch family

Just a quick check that all is well with the runway. The lake nearby is dry, and the grass is longer, but all is good. Dropped off the John Howard geocoin, rescued from over east (it's not meant to leave Perth). This coin helps you find the similar named cache - I don't expect it'll sit in here very long.

All is good with cache - plenty of log space and a number of swaps available.

Stopped off as it was on my way home today and picked up John Howard. You're right - he didn't sit in there long...

A quick find on my caching adventure around the airport. Probably the easiest find of the day in fact!

Found the Princess Teresa Polly Pocket T.B

Put in a Scrabble Token. Took out a button.

Other TB and Geocoin not in the box. Obviously
GeoCacher hasn't logged it yet.

A quick, easy find once I realised the GPS was trying to access this cache from the freeway!
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache,
best wishes,
Wal

Finally got this cache. GPS beeps every time we go by.....but wow, the nuvi sure took me on a wild ride so I had to rely on my street sense in the end. Nice big cache for a change!

So many cars flying passed that have no idea what's hiding here, love it.
Dropped of Princess Teresa's Polly Pocket TB.

A quick find on an evening out caching. TFTC

nice easy find, tftc

Found at 8:20pm after flying in. Its always a good time to cache. But thats the last one for tonight. I laughed at the never worn boxers in the cache, haha! Thanks for the hunt.

This was a quick find on a sunny morning in Perth.
TFTC and cheers from Germany

Holidaying from Quebec, Canada. Having a geocaching great time in Australia!!

TFTC, TNLN, SL

This is in a lovely park. We met a muggle with two friendly dogs about 5 minutes before we got to gz. Took tb and left easter turtle. TFTH and thank you for bringing us here.

Found it quickly. Had trouble retrieving for there were bees everywhere. Took Kangaroo TB. Left Blue Heart TB. TFTC robots!

NIce quick east find, Geokid aged 4 found it. TFTC. Not much in there though and unfortunately because I hadn't planned on caching today, we had 20 mins to spare before dropping partner off at airport, I didn't have my cache pack so couldn't top it up.

No sign of Mountain Trek or Found it TB/Coins....but then I hadn't read all other logs so that's probably already been mentioned.

Left 2 TB's to continue their journey.

Team Cupcake Oz

Found with wot and Big Dan.
Quick find by wot. Nice to see a larger cache filled with lots of goodies for once!
TNLN. TFTH!

HUGE Cache !! lots of goodies..

Makes a change from all the mint tins and Nano's out there

nice find
tftc

Parked on the highway ... Took TB and was dissapointed that SOME PEOPLE HAVEN'T LOGGED SOME OF THE TBS >:[
.. anyways tftc had to jump the fence to get the cache.

LOL we parked on the highway. xD xD

we found it quickly. I couldn't resist this adorable looney tunes bouncy ball so I just had to take it. I left a truck behind for others to take.

TFTH

Ooops - forgot to drop TB.

Doing the rounds today with a new convert. Only a few muggles and their dogs out walking. Quick find.
Took: 2 x Trackables

My total is going up today...many thanks!

Dropped off 'Epicure' TB, one of a set of 4 I have just released, also 'Going East' TB which I thought I could move east but plans changed. Took TB Mr Happy and Left 2 novelty pencils for the geokids. No sign of micro geocoin or Green Jeep.
Since my last visit which I stated was not safe for children and dogs as the fence was broken and so close to the highway, I was pleased to see that the fence has now been replaced. TAFTF

Took Grandma for her first cache. Didn't see any planes. Took whistle and 1000 rupiah note. Left mini scissors and Mr Happy TB.

The Alfabetz.

Found this one after nice walk in the park. took nothing left pencil and small toy signed log. thanks for this one.

It's great to find a decent sized cache in Perth. Unfortunately this one was really stripped bare. I took it back to the bus and found some decent swaps to build it up a bit. T-TB

No flyovers today so didn't have to duck . Swapped TB's. In: Scout Badge Out: Rubber crustacean. TFTH.

I've watched planes from here as a teenager, so it was lovely that the winds were right today for me to enjoy a bit of spotting. TFTC!
T Mr. Cyclops TB
L Cailtin's Frog GC

How on EARTH did I miss this before...!!
It's massive.
Found on a lazy Sunday afternoon with the middle Askalon.
He helped drag it out of the bushes (not bad for a 2 year old!)
He helped himself to the animals so I left 2000 rupiah.
Also swapped out travel bugs.
Great little park. TFTC

tfth. placed TB in here. Missed the other TBs by a couple of hours!

Hmmm I thought this was going to be a quick grab. How wrong I was. I'm pretty sure I was at the right bush but no joy. Wil be back in the daylight. Thanks for the hunt nonetheless.

Another find for Teegz today. Having a great day on Mother's day. TFTC

It was a very easy find. Took Green Gum Leaf TB. TFTC

A nice park with only one muggle walking her dogs. SL TNLN TFTH

iPhone tooks its time to settle, but in the end it was a quick spot...

TFTC

Talkin Jeep travel bug to Darwin and also taking micro le geocoin to darwin

Easy find but it says ok for dogs, definetly not as its so close to the highway.

Left Jeep TB and took Tigger TB

A massive fire swept through this area today, coming within 1m of the cache. I stood back and watched three water bombing helicopters and five trucks pour half of Perth's water supply on the area. The fence between bushland and road has now been burnt away. Cache is fine though - must be well waterproof!

A quick find with PhD_Greg. We left the "Found It!" Geocoin. TFTC!

Nice quick find, left "Found It!" GC. Lots of planes overhead

You may be interested to know that from early February, for nine weeks, the runway that backs onto this park will be the main runway between 7am and 7pm from Monday to Saturday. So, if you ever wanted to stand less than 100m under a plane whilst hunting a cache, then the next couple fo months would be a good time to visit this cache.

Easy Find
TNLN TFTH

Not many planes flying over head today. Found it with some help from red5.

My First in WA. Found with CameronsWA

Just dropped past to keep an eye on the Robots Runway. All good.

Fairly easy find with my daughter in tow TNLNSL. I really need to get some swaps so my daughter can play

Awesome hide.. Had great fun finding this cache and crazily enough no one even noticed us slip into the bushland because a car had just driven INTO a house nearby... Police and heaps of people running around was strangely serendipitous.

Found lots of cool loot inside.. No trackables.. Took mini screwdrivers (very useful thankyou) and left crazy glasses and bouncy ball...

This isn't a normal regular, it's HUGE! Nice park too. Found at 1.40pm. Took a lanyard and the Santa TB and left a Lizard, an Elephant and a Giraffe 'cos this is HUGE! Will take Santa either home to SA or on my next 4WD trip to the Victorian Alps. Thanks to the_robots for a well placed cache.

Over from Melbourne visiting family for the weekend. I am out and about early, being the best part of the day and to allow them to have a sleep in. The advantage is that there are very few muggles (none) out at 5.30 during the weekend,and it is a beautiful day.
Did another cache close by and walked along the path. It led me to the Tonkin Hwy which concerned my a little. After a short walk I located sort of a path off the main drag. Soon located the correct park. Coordes were 10 metres out so I resorted to hints.
Thanks for bringing me here
Left traveller
Took traveller, will relocate in the east

Over from Melbourne visiting my daughter, son in law and lovely Olivia (granddaughter)Up very early before the locals got up,Just done Ahoy down the track and knew this one was quite close. No one round, this morning at 6.00am Saturday. My coords were out so I thought so would resort to the the hints. Found quickly, all in excellent condition. Left traveller from the East. Took traveller for a big trip to the East.
Thanks for bringing me here

Found it..a simple find in a better part of belmont on the way from the airport.
Left the Fishbone TB

Why is it I can spot micros from a mile away, and yet I walked past this 3 times!

Haggis

morning of robot caches..... thanks.

Yeah, heard so much about the_robots, shael6636, WanderingAus, and Lyn Pat and Nathan in our geocaching adventures in Perth. Maybe, we shall meet them someday. I’ve met with Lyn Pat and Nathan the other day. Dark Energy has met both Pat’s team and WanderingAus. Maybe, some day we meet them all! TFTH, the_robots.

Yes, I agree Dark Energy. The_robots sure have lots and lots of caches here. And, if I am not mistaken I’ve read some where, shael6636 has follow suit! TFTCs, the_robots.

Maybe, God willing, we might get to know the_robots and shael6636 through some Event caches. Who knows? TFTH, the_robots.

Had taken Bus 72 to Curtin University and from there walked and see what caches would we come across today. Little that we realize that today cache hunting is dominated by the_robots! TFTC, the_robots. Greeting from Geocaching Malaysia in Facebook.

Last cache of 110 found during my extra long weekend in Perth. Gotta love the fact that we have a public holiday for the Melbourne Cup in Canberra. Means we can get away for a while.......

Nice big cache found in a very quiet area.....apart from the cars rushing by of course.

Thanks the_robots..........

A suprisingly easy find in fading light. TFTH

What a joy to see a nice LARGE cache! Very nice park and a new aspect of Tonkin Hwy. No pen in cache so left mine. TN. Thanks for the hunt, Robots.

Dropped past and checked all is good at the runway. Whilst we're at it, we dropped and picked up our new TB, to start it's journey...

1577 - Another trip to WA with some time for Caching...

So many new caches close to the airport - very nive...

A quick find and a nice size cache..

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

A nice easy find after Labres Fill,TFTH SL

Found after a short walk over from Labre's Fill.
Took TB to move on.

TFTC.

The temporary billabong made for a picturesque setting.
Nice easy find, now back across the park and hopefully a muggle free search for Labres Fill
TNLNSL...Thanks.

Easy muggle free zone T TB L Koala TFTC

Quick easy find with a frog concert as a bonus...ignored the traffic noise though....

TFTH
TNLN

Out Caching with Blade05 and had a real good time. When you are out there for lunch then there is time against you as well as the hunt. TNLN SL TFTH

Nice park and good hide took TB Kansas Sunshine and swapped $1.00 for two geo keyrings. TFTH

Last one for the day. Thanks

Have been thinking about the progression of cache placing, and realised I prefer the idea of either a well put together cache or a GZ that is very interesting, or ideally always having both.

The earlier container was fine; hey, this was our first ever cache, however it was a cheap plastic sandwich container, and so we visited today and replaced it with a nicer, camo painted 5L Sistema.

The location is still very nice; croaking frogs and small lake in Winter, and a drier bushland with many birds in Summer.

We hope you like this new, improved cache.

Found by supertiger 15:10. Quick find with help of clue. Watch out for the kid muggles that may be nearby. TNLN TFTC Dan & Nat

Nice hide. The frogs were in full voice when we tackled this one between downpours. Thanks Robots

TFTH

Enjoyed strolling towards the cache, found it. TNLN. Thanks the robots for bringing me to the cache and hunt.

Quick find. Thanks the_robots

A quiet and noisy place. TFTC!

Our first Robots cache - and a nice easy find for the kids. They were VERY excited to find it contained a TB, and now can't wait to find another suitable location to drop it off.
Took: Purple Hat Duck TB
Left: Kung Fu Panda wrist band - for the aspiring Kung Fu Master.
TFTH

As I wasn't getting anywhere with the new cache nearby I decided to walk over to this cache.

Found without any problems. No swaps. Thanks for the cache.

Nice spot very noisey! 1st of the robots caches found and more to come

Just dropped past to check everything was in order. Cache in great condition, and still at original hiding place. Dropped off a TB to continue it's adventures.

Another Robots cache plundered. I'm feeling good, me hearties. Great hide. Saw a muggle with an electric model aeroplane. Very quiet.

TNLN, TFTC.

Great cache, coords didn't agree with mine, however, reasonbly easy to find. Keep up the good work, appreciate your efforts. Left 'Purple Hat Duck" to continue his journey to Anaheim to join the Ducks Ice Hockey team.
