I can't check on the revegetation status of the cache for at least another three weeks. Since that seems to be unsatisfactory, the cache is gone.
WanderingAus wandered by on a maintenance run, and confirmed the area is still fenced off due to revegetation action.
Area is fenced off due to revegetation action. Will check periodically, but if not accessible by May I will Archive the cache.
The C/O may want to check on this. I drove the full park only to find "REVEGETATION, NO ENTRY" signs regularly around the fence line.
This cache should probably be taken off line or archived until this is finished.

Couldn't find and entrance so gave this one a miss as I didn't want to encourage the geokids to be jumping fences.
Will try again another day.

Found a few nights ago with @seanjakens and even in the dark was an easy find. Thanks!
I was out and about early before work to grab a couple of smileys and this one was on the list a nice easy find here but I had to choose my time carefully to head in from the path due to the number of walkers in the area

After a lazy morning, I decided to head out and grab as many caches as I could in the Leeming area. After a few DNFs, and realising I had something I needed to do, I moved on to Cannington and then found a few after my chores were completed. I had previously DNF'ed this cache after a night search after going to the football one night on my streak. It was a bit hard to find at night, though proved quite easy during the day. TFTC WanderingAus.
Took us a while to find an entry point, but then a cute and nifty little find. Very happy. Second cache ever. Found with partner
Another basket ball session for one of the kids and so I didn't want to just sit around waiting , so let's kill a little time and go on a hunt. Nice little find to add to the smiley face collection.
After a delicious lunch served with trolleys we went for a short walk .
We almost climbed over a fence to get to GZ. Finally we found an "entrance" and then it was an easy one.

Headed out today to find a few caches in an area we had not been before... Jase was the designated driver today & I was the cache finder I searched a couple of spots before changing my thinking & soon found the cache... Thanks WanderingAus Cache had moisture inside & the logbook was damp. I dried out the container before placing back for the next finder, all should be good for now.

Found after a bit of a search, thanks for your cache WanderingAus.

It was quite tricky getting into the bushland, but one I was in the vicinity of GZ, there was little scrounging around to find the cache. All in good condish. Cheers WanderingAus
It's actually quite well camouflaged this one and takes a bit of poking around.
Had half an hour spare in Leeming this afternoon, what better time to track down some caches. Bit tricky to get into GZ here but once there I found it in the first place I looked.

So much fun. It was a little tricky as y phone gps was off by about 3 metres but enjoyed!
A quick find on the way back to Bunbury. Will return when I have time to finish this series. TFTC
Spent the day caching around Willetton, Leeming and Bullcreek.
We visited a variety of parks, and cache hides.
Most were well hidden and in good condition.
Thanks for the cache, WanderingAus.

Im not sure why ive never looked for the cache before as ive driven past here heaps of times. Well today i stopped and after a few minutes of searching the container was found. Everything inside the container is wet and so is the log book as the logbook wasnt inside the ziplock bag. Lucky i had my tank pen with me so i could still sign the log. Put the logbook back inside the bag but cache might need to be checked. TFTC WanderingAus
Our first hunt

Play netball most Sundays at the rec centre so thought I'd have a quick look before my game but had no joy... Was too tired afterwards.. Will try again
In the area on the bikes, checking out Leeming High School for the young ones for the future. Kids had a play at the skate park then off to try & find a cache.
No trouble there. Good to find nice, older, bigger caches. Pity I didn't have my travelbug collection that I'd picked up overseas. Hard to find places for them these days.
Thanks WanAus for the hide.

My phone's GPS initially put me 5 meters, due to the trees. Gave the thing time to settle, and it redirected me straight to it.
Log book is mildly dampish, but completely usable.

No luck here after trying to find a cache. Had to climb a fence to get to the GZ from the road???

Heading out for a ride along the freeway and stopped in to grab this one. Nice easy find in a tiny bush reserve in suburbia. TFTC
4 Teams headed out for a ride to tackle the Periodic Table series AlliedOz, Team W Oz, The Fitzy's and Rokadz. We started at the Farrington road over pass and headed south along the freeway with plenty of laughs and plenty of odd looks for a great day. Thanks for the series! Parked at the shops as this was the closet cache to start the day TFTC!!
Dropped past after stopping for lunch while doing the periodic table series (nearby Chinese restaurant is great incidentally). Left the schnulli bug for someone to move on. TFTC.
Can you change the first line of the description please!
'Easy find' should be deleted. Of course I'm joking, thanks again Wandering Aus
for the cache, and the history

Enjoyed walk along to GZ and search until found it, signed the log with Mistraluna. Thanks WanderingAus
Had arranged to meet up with Everlasting for a day of caching, starting with the new ones around Wellard/Orelia. We cleaned up there, then continued further north around the Willetton area. Quick find. Thanks WanderingAus
FOUND IT!!!! Have had trouble finding this one for a few months, but we were in the mood to have another go and eventually found it!! It was a tricky hide and we had to look carefully, got some hints from some of the other comments, which helped too! TFTC!!! C_J_A
Hid bikes and went in and was easy.Like I said on another nice idea with the cards.TFTC
After my brother, friend and I hid our bikes behind a tree on the corner of Farrington Rd at the roundabout we jumped the fence and made a quick find. TFTC
Based on all the bottles lying around this spot's a popular night time hangout too! Really pretty spot of bushland with all the kangaroo paws out. Tftc.
Found today with Lightning GEL, number 15 of 20 for the afternoon. A nice quick find.

Quick find with the co-ordinates being spot on [^]. It's two weeks since I found this one, and now I see "Gwiber" had done maintenance on the very same day. I couldn't have missed you by too much . TN/LN, signed the log, burped the box and recovered it.
Found it after the phone settled down as I left GPS in other bag

Taken cached for a quick dry out as no replacements to use with me
Bags are completely wet inside and out as not sealed, log was not even in the bag so is damp all the way through
Had to empty 20ml of water out of the bottom as container was not burped and not even camouflaged
It will be back in place by this afternoon

All back in place and dry with some camo so it cant be seen from 5 metres away
Everything is dry and in new bags, log book, cache cards, finders cards and swaps ( I had to throw some of the swaps as they were ruined by being at the bottom sitting in water)
I have added a new pencil with both ends sharpened in with the log book as one was ruined by the water, the sharpener was rusted so was thrown as well.

I did have to widen my search a bit. Seeing you mention the type of container I would say that I emptied a table spoon of water out of this container - the goodies were saturated, the log is OK. 66 was also damp. Sistema containers with their clips are much more satisfactory. Thanks WanderingAus.
Took a little bit to find my GPS kept freezing but once it came back on line I was able to find it with not too much trouble, we took toy car and left a camel and puzzle toy. TFTH
I don't remember anything special about this cache which I hope means I found it. I think it was your usual green painted tupperware. I do wonder what you store your sugar and flour in these days. Thanks for the cache WanderingAus.

We don't use sugar (although there is a porcelain canister with a bit of raw sugar in it for visitors and pancake making) and we buy our flour in a 2 Kg plastic bottle (future cache container).
The WanderingMrs retired a few tupperware containers, and I snapped them up just in time for my Melville caches.

[:(!] Went for a late afternoon of caching with Mrs GrumpyBump, arrived at GZ and after searching for several minutes we had the cache in hand. TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH
Took several tries but on our last day in Oz we were successful. Well done. Enjoyed the search in a nice little park. TFTC
While working in the area I dropped into grab this on. A nice easy find in a nice little bush reserve.... SL TFTC WanderingAus

WanderingAus wandered back on a maintenance run, brought back the original log book, transcribed the log by C_J_A, and dropped in a fresh batch of finders cards.
Dropped In Bud's Memory TB (Ref = TB43T37).

WanderingAus wandered by on a maintenance run, found most of the contents quite dry, dried out the container and a few damp items, and dropped in an extra pencil and a temporary log book. The log book is only slightly damp, so I'll dry it out and return it in a few days. I also visited some travellers.
Cache is good to go once more, but the finders cards are a little washed out so I'll have to drop back with a fresh batch.

Teamed up with The Machman again today to pick up a few South of the River caches. Well after taking 90mins to even get South of the River we should just have known that things weren't going to be easy for us today.
Didn't take too long to have this one in hand. Cache still has water in it. It was pouring with rain whilst we were at this one so impossible for us to dry it out.

No problems with this one, apart from the never ending rain !!
The log was pretty damp already, so was not able to dry it out at all..
Needs a few warm summer days !!!

Being night time We initially walked in the wrong way then Located it soon after the gps settled!
Easy find. Picked up the 2009 south wales geocoin and dropped off julia's bee trackable. Some moisture in container but ziplock bags doing their job. Tftc. Took pic with bee and will try to work out how to upload it.
