Went to replace log this morning, but cache was not where it was hidden. If cachers can't put things back back where they came from then what's the point of hiding them???
Found it, great hiding spot. We couldn't write in the log though as it looks like it may have gotten wet
Making our way down the coast so thought we would make a few finds
Beautiful day to be out and about!
Log book is damaged and needs replacing, I put it back how it should be as best as I could.
Thanks for the cache

Found it. Log needs replacing as it is very damp. Didn't sign it. Nice hide though.
Up this way again today with Chwiliwr, grabbing a few caches before this afternoons West Oz Geocaching meeting. Last find for the morning - will only just make it back in time for the meeting, but hey, we had fun. Thanks blingg
Nice hiding! Went looking for this cache today under the rain and it was a quick find at GZ. My wet fingers made a bit of a mess of the brand new log though - lack of experience caching in wet conditions I guess... Will go back and replace it with a water proof log hopefully this afternoon. Thank you for the cache blingg.
Thanks for the maintenance and replacement, this is where we first looked when it was missing.
So out taking the dog to the beach so, thought we would have a quick check, lost my pen so will go back and sign log

Stopped off on the way to Hillarys before it got too much hotter for a quick find here. Nicely placed so you can search unobserved although I crashed back out on to the path which drew a few looks! TFTC blingg.
The lid came out without the container!! That made it a bit harder than it needed to be! No drama all sorted waiting for the next cacher to enjoy! TFTC
TFTC out for a bike ride and a bit of caching. Nice hide

Klettercache and me are making a 5 week holiday in Australia and our route leads us from Sydney via Brisbane to Cairns. From Cairns, we are going to take a flight to Adelaide and from this city in Southern Australia we will continue our trip by train through the Nullarbor Plain towards Perth, where we will fly back to Germany.
This is already the last week of our holidays and we have arrived near Perth after a very nice ride with the Indian Pacific from Adelaide to Western Australia via Kalgoorlie.
As we have a rental car we are doing some nice day trips to the surrounding of Perth and of course we are trying to find some caches that are located along our way.
Today, we were heading towards the North of Perth. We wanted to see the Pinnacles in the Nambung National Park and we have heard about the beautiful beaches along the road which we intended to see. Unfortunately, it was rather cloudy today but as we have to fly back in the middle of this week, we did not have a possibility to come here later.
We visited this cache early in the morning after leaving the hotel. There was a very nice view on the beach and the container could be found easily though it was hidden very tricky. Logbook was completely empty, the cache owner has recently made a maintenance. Good service.
Thanks to the owner for keeping and maintaining the cache.

I have found this one together with my dad "schwabenheini".
Thanks for hiding this cache.

I was looking in all the wrong spots but finally got it! The log is getting a bit worn and fluffy but still usable.
I found this one just before dawn. It was high but not so high that I had to stretch. I have seen this type of hide before so I knew what to look for. Great place for a swim here too. TFTC blingg
I was a bit worried about the hint but luckily managed a quick find here. We then went for a welcome swim. Being used to our local beach in Scarborough it was a nice change, no waves and a remarkably finer sand. Thanks for the cache (a fave!) and bringing us here, blingg!
Out for a mornings caching with m4yb after donating blood at Hillarys. Was just following m4yb and she was fairly quick with this one. It has been a good day and the sea breeze was just making a few ripples but plenty of time for a nice relaxing break and some food and swim before heading south again. Nice hide blingg, thanks.
Quick find with geo wife while out for a bike ride on a beautiful Sunday morning

This was the beach the girls decided for - time for me to do some caches in the area. First I did not see the container - only a specific point of view revealed it. TFTC
Found with a little hint from geoparkies ... On Christmas holidays from darwin. Also got to watch the kite surfers ... Won't be trying that soon
Another full day of Geocaching With Mr Drovers today to finish the area we didn't cover last Monday. It is a beautiful day and lots of great hides along the way. TFTC
Another enjoyable day, caching with JacobsCrew.
We headed to the north of Perth, where we visited lots of
local urban parks & bushland, with a good variety of hides.
Thanks for the cache, blingg.

Found at last, this was our second time here. Great hiding spot I must we have looked two or three times before.
I can see why this would cause grief, nicely done. TFTC

Grabbing some caches with J+J.au while on a caching holiday from N.S.W. Great location. TFTC
Gotcha, looked and looked and found. The weather can't make it's mind up, wind, rain, sun, lots of wind. TFTC
I persevered when the rest of the gang gave up and was rewarded for my efforts.
TFTC !!

Managed to find this one between muggles, and there were plenty of them today.
Was searching high and low for this one and was about to give up due to the constant flow of muggles. Then I spotted something that didn't look like it belonged. A quick investigation revealed the stash.
Would suggest that some maintenance may be in order soon. The rubber seal is starting to perish. Still seals OK so there is no rush.
Good hiding spot you found here. TFTF.

GSAGC #541. Out on a caching run today to clear up several previous DNF's. Must've had my caching eyes today 'cos I got 5 out of 8 of the little buggers [^] Had to wait out the significant muggle traffic (what is the fascination with an angry sea?) before searching all the wrong places again. Was about to leave when I looked up and thought "that wasn't visible last time I looked there" [B)] Success at last TFTH.
Went in the morning and couldn't find it, came back in the afternoon and it was almost staring me in the face couldn't believe I didn't see it the first time. TFTC
Whoop Whoop! Found it this time. Kind of had a duh moment when I spotted it, don't know why I didn't see it last time!
Beautiful day for caching!
Didn't sign log as we went caching by bike and forgot a pen
TFTC!
Pirates Huey find #27
Ohio, USA!

Opps missed logging this one... was great day out..... When your the designated driver you don't always have time to log & enter messages... Great hide... nearly got sprung by muggle with metal detector... offering to help us look if we'd lost something.... No was the quick answer think we dropped set of key's here...LOL.. yep we're both looking up high... !!! der... blonde moment!
Finally! Had a couple of goes at this one before, but had a brainwave today whilst riding past and there it was. Thanks.
Busy area today with kite surfing lessons nearby. 4 of us searching with no luck. Will try again soon.
Final day in Australia before flying back to the floods in the UK
Took my blind fold off this time and despite a very busy car-park and beach area eventually found this blighter

[:-(] after two finds this arvo this was a disappointment! GZ found no problems with few muggles about. Looked for a long time then found what I believed was it. Fishing line wrapped round a tree. If it was unwrapped, would it let the cache down?? Above the line was a very still pigeon sitting on a very small nest. Seen one like this before in the UK . Sorted! I thought but with a loose string nothing happened so I proceeded to reach for the "stuffed" bird. Well I got to within 6inches of it then it took flight off the nest!! It moved one way and I moved the other!! I then decided to call it a day as the nest was real. Future cachers please take care of the future generation of these little birds!!
OH must log this as another DNF I'm afraid
[:-(]

checked on the cache this morning - it hasn't moved, still in position
I don't know where the last three that DNFd were looking, but it is no more than 2.5m from the kerb and not in the trees or the dunes

lot of fisherman around at this time of day, lot of rubbish to. Found GZ but didnt get a good chance to look about. Will come back later when beaches not so popular.
What a disappointing day for finds 0/3 with this one being most interesting. After spending 30 mins with the other half searching for the goodies, we believed we were being quite descrete only to find out that we were being muggled watched from a distance. An interesting fellow came up and had a "chat" to us giving us the third degree about what we thought we were doing (nothing was said about our actual task). After a while Mr Muggle infromed us of the types of people we could expect to find in the dunes (i'll let you use your imagination for this one) and asked us if this this is what we ere looking for, after some quick confirmation that this was not the case, proceeded to inform us that he could point us in the right direction if it was, WTH!!!. We decided to depart the scene in a very casual manner only to notice he was taking down my number plate. Let's just say the day did not improve serious .
Found really quickly, after waiting for a muggle to continue his bike journey. TFTC
Found with a tip from a passing anonymous geocacher.
If you're reading this - apologies for giving you a blank stare, I was totally focused on the GPS.
Nice hide, TFTC.

Out once again with SPN WRC to help me find a few DNF's and also to find a few of the more interesting caches we have read about.
This is my 3rd attempt at this one and now I have it I can't believe I missed it???
