Well after a quick check this cache has definitely been muggled for the 4th time. Due to the amount of caches that have been replaced I am archiving this cache. Apologises to all those cachers who still wish to grab this one
This cache may come back in a different form.

Disabling this for the 4th time as it appears to have been muggled again once more
this cache will be going under a reconstruction and may return as a Multi Cache in the future sometime. Will update listing when a decison has been made.

One happy camper kept us from doing a proper search. Our iPhones (Askalon&Sons) were all over the show under those big trees. Will have to come back armed with the garmin me thinks.
Unfortunately there was a Muggle ensconced IN the GZ.
Will return on another lunch break for a better search.
(Never thought I'd use the word "ensconced" in a cache log!!)

Ok can confirm that the GZ is now accessable but unfortunately the cache has been muggled once again (not supprising really considering the construction work).
New cache will be up and running for easter weekend with updated co-ordinates due to the amount of tagging at previous GZ.
New cache will be up and running for easter weekend with updated co-ordinates due to the amount of tagging at previous GZ.
Cache location is being checked this weekend to see if the construction work at the GZ has been completed. If so the cache will be up and running shortly
Considering the ongoingn construction, the rather high fences I am disabling this cache until the work is completed. At which time it shall be reactivated
We tried this one a couple of times but can't get close as the construction workers have the area totally fenced off with no way in.
We were able to access the area but it looks like the cache has gone missing and will need to be replaced. Thanks guys
Popped past while in the city. I think there is too much construction work around for me to even get close to GZ.
Had a good look around found a ugly site ,Construction going on at cords may need some first aid ?damn was enjoying the series. No find for the macando.
Just in town for one day only .... but had to get 'one' geocache. We're from Vancouver, BC, Canada and circumnavigating Australia on a cruise ship. We just love Perth...it's a beautiful city. TFTC
Found it after a few minutes of trying to work out whether or not the hint was actually helpful (it is).
Cache had unfortunatley been muggled. Cache has now been replaced with a smaller tin so hopefully it shall last longer. You will need your own writing stick to log this now.
Another visit another no find. I thought there might be some other hiding locations but there does not appear to be any other spots but the empty hint. Damn.
Will check the status on Friday Night. If the cache has been muggles for the 2nd time this will be disabled until the work in the area has been completed.
The GPS led me exactly to where I thought the Cache was going to be. Now with the clue in mind I am very surprised to have to log a D.N.F. Maybe it has been muggled? There appears to have been alot of action in this area and the building works are all around. Or maybe I am just blind? Who knows? Better luck to the next hunter!!
Might be gone. My quick look found nothing attached to seat. Upon reflection is may not be attached to the seat of the seat but some other part.

Something to do while geosister went shopping before returning home on East Coast. Nearby pyramid interesting. Found GZ easily, cache located soon after. Some concern that site might be subject being muggled. SL TFTC.

Spotted the tin from the road after looking in all the wrong places! Nice one. I'm on the hunt for the other 5 now.

This one is easy. Thank you to Shael6636 & the_robots. The coordinates just zero in for this one. TFTC.
With this mighty cache, I’ve found all of Perth Pickings’ caches in Perth City designed by the awesome Shael6636 & the_robots. TFTC, Shael6636 & the_robots. Greeting from Geocaching Malaysia in Facebook.
2287. My first Australian cache! After 19 hours of flying Los Angeles to Sydney, Sydney to Perth, I was exhausted, but needed to stretch my legs and also I am working on a challenge cache that required I find a cache on Halloween. As I approached GZ I wasn't sure the cache would be accessible, but it was. Dipping coins for the miles: Mr. Small's class travel ingot, Red Handed, Valorie's Caching Hazards, Dolphin Coin, and Aye Mateys. TFTC

Found it.... nice location good views as mentioned, place can be a little dodgy at nights as I found out at 00:45 hrs.
took tb ..moving on
Was along lijose.

Quick find while attending conference across the road. Dropped of TB "20 Centimes" en-route from NZ to Morocco.
Found this one at 18:50 while on the way back "home" after a walk up to Kings Park. It took a while to hone in on it but I finally got there with a healthy reading of the hint . What a great view of the wheel all lit up like that .
TNLNSL, although our night cache geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Shael6636 & the_robots.

Found this series without any issues whilst enjoying a lap of the CBD and waterfront. TFTC and the Series.
there was a muggle there the first time i went but on returning it was pretty easy to find
good fun though
good fun though
On approach I thought this would be impossible with all the constuction going on in the area, but the cache is safe and sound and easily accesable. Once you find it!

Finally managed to get parking! 2 x New logs are in the cache so enjoy, apologies in the delay in maintaining my own cahce oops
I was concerned that this would be enclosed by the temporary fencing being erected but no problem. As Warnie mentioned, the log is full. TFTC
Found early morning prior to a flight out of town. The log is completely full and needs replacing. SL. Nice cache.
Went at lunchtime but too many muggles. Went back on the way to the train and found it
A nice very early Sunday morning, easy parking, muggle free find. Fair bit of relandscaping happening around here. Thanks for the hunt, Shael6636 & the_robots.
Easy find, yippee. Pity about the construction going on near by. The log book is running out of room, only enough space for one or two more entries. Needs to be refilled asap.

After a beer drinking muggle was gone, we could easily find and log this one.
Thanks for the cache.

Wow what a great day for some caching..... iTreasureHunt2 and i decided to pop into the city CBD to do some caching.
We thought we knew where it was and had to wait for some muggles to leave the area before we could get to it. After they left we discovered we were wrong and found it in another spot. That is a really amazing fig tree!! J wanted to climb it!! TFTH

Went Geocaching with iTreasureHunt today. It was a fine sunny day. Geomum stayed home.
Very fun, in between hard and easy.

Luckily the muggle that was strumming his guitar decided to move off as we approached. An easy find - hope it doesn't get spotted.
This could have been a walk past cache as there was a wierd guy hanging around the structure. Perth has its fair share of them these days but he turned out to be harmless and was enjoying himself taking photos of random things. Come to think of it that was what we probably looked like as we were doing the same. We sometimes get odd looks when cache hunting now we can see why.
The flowers are in bloom on the gazebos so we took a couple of pics.
Nearby (100m)is a metal plate of a cache we made but was never approved about 6 years ago. We rediscovered it and think that at some stage will we restamp it and include it in a future cache. We wont give away too many details but it has survived when we thought it would have been removed a long time ago....

Fantastic Cache! Our first find and cleverly hidden. Beautiful area to sit and admire nature in the middle of the city!

OK, 2 down and 3 to go. This was an easy find only after reading the super-easy clue.
Thanks again Shael6636 for another great spot for a cache, SL

Second find for the day, another nice easy one. That's as far as we got today, all the others we went to had too many muggles prowling about.
The first of the caches on my perambulations around Perth City and out to Subiaco
Quick easy find
took TB ( I couldn't get it back in properly )

Easy find after lunch time, no muggles were around. Met with fellow cachers Scrumbler and BlatantSam and exchanged hints.

Lovely spot to wander around (and catch a train.) You're lucky to have a wheel, ours is broken. No muggles about so it was an easy find. TFTC
Was my first Geocache find! Was helped out by Chrissald. Easy to find, and a nice little hidden away area of the city.
Had to wait for a muggle to move on before I could grab this one. Quick find. TFTH
During the night caching (that's advantage of not many muggles around at the night time), made a quick find and logged. It was quite very nice view of the wheel at the night time. Thanks for the fun and the cache. I really enjoyed it.
Found the last of the 5 this evening (even tho it is number one )
Cheers for the caches.

An easy find. Nice quick start to the series. Thanks for the cache Shael6636 & the_robots.
Had a lunch time walk around the area and found the cache without the nearby children muggles noticing. At least this time it was there to be found.
Thanks for the cache.

For some reason the gps took me to a spot about 50m from gz, must have been the miserably conditions. Searched for ages and obviously found nothing but after a little walk with the gps it took me to the right spot and I found it straight away. tftc
Could have been me - I was here about 5:15pm. I was courting my luck with the parking inspectors this afternoon as I parked at each spot, but only stayed there for 5-10 mins. Luckily all was well! Had to dodge the couple sitting in each other's laps on the opposite corner for a quick retrieve, sign and replace. Plenty of people walking past, but none of them paid me any attention. Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the find! There was a muggle looking suspicious (a cacher?) so had to wait around for a 5:30pm snatch. The magnet appears to have come off the cache although the cache is still place... The Jack Russells
Couldn't look for it.... There were a couple of muggles feeling each other up on gz. I really don't think this cache will last that long
Saw some cachers looking as I walked by to get a late lunch from the Busport and they had just left as I arrived to look myself. Waited ages to get a good fix and then looked everywhere but couldn't find the cache. I did, however, find a pencil. The other caches arrived back and we all looked but didn't find it.
A paperclip with a magnet was also found so we assumed that it has been muggled.

I wasn't aware this one had been published until I bumped into Allied Oz at Barrack St Junction. So over we came to have a go, another set of eyes may turn up something but we were soon joined by Chwiliwer who informed us he had found the pencil but no cache, it was soon after this the magnet was discovered. We had a good look around but could turn up nothing else. We are sorry to say I think this one may be gone. Damn those muggles are fast!
Can confirm cache has been muggled . Cache has been replaced and is ready to go. Thanks Chwiliwr & hhheddy for letting me. Muggled even before its found damn...... Cache is now a magnetic and the hint has been updated
With a slight break in the rain we headed out to try and grab a FTF on this cache as it popped up a while after the other 4 in the series. I watched hhheddy walk past as we searched and figured he had already nabbed it, after about 25 minutes of wandering around thinking, it can not be this hard. We wandered in the direction of hhheddy and caught up at another cache close by for a reasonably quick find.
As it turned out he had not found it so we returned for another look and bumped into Chwiliwr as well. One of the young Jokers found the magnet, coupled with the pencil found earlier it was deemed muggled and we headed off.
ya gotta be quick! Darn muggles

Just received notice that the cache had been replaced so I had to go out and look for it. Its only just down the road after all
Found it *FTF*
I managed to pick up another cache in this dash as its a problem during daylight hours.
Thanks for the cache.
