Perth Pickings # 3 "Sound of Silence" East Perth, Western Australia, Australia

No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

Please read recent logs and make a decision. It at least needs to be temporarily disabled. As a city cache it is right in the firing line and it's disappointing (for tourists especially) who are looking for a cache that is not present. Thanks.

Compass put me behind a construction fence, couldn't go any further to look for it.

Directions seem to change depending on what level you are on.

It wasn't there. I spent 1,5h by finding. But it's not there

Couldn't find this one spent about 45mins avoiding muggles, but still couldn't locate it.

I thought I knew where it was since I'd been previously with a prior finder. Couldn't see the mint tin today.

Went back to check on this one again today and appear to have been muggled once again. May need to consider a new location for the hide.

Cache is not there, must have been muggled again.. Security is tight

Cache is back in Play thanks to Ruffdawg,

Back in play. I have contacted Shael6636 and with his permission have replaced the cache in the same location with an identical container.

Like others before me, I returned with a previous finder and the cache is gone. The owner has been unresponsive. Can the cache please be archived?

Thanks.

Didn't check the logs until I'd been searching for a while. I'll add my log to the lot. Couldn't see it anywhere in the likely spots.

I was not able to find this one.

Looked for some time but was unable to locate. If its suppose to be in or on the light its not there anymore and needs to be replaced or the listing removed.

wot and I looked for this one as well without any luck, and gave up after reading all the DNF's.

Searched with Aussie-hippos and paulprit but wi no joy
Given the previous logs I suspect this may have been lost

Think this one may have gone walkies.

Owner needs to check this one with so many DNFs.

No joy on this cache. Repeated visits; no cache. Will wait to see if it gets found.

Couldn't find it. Was with ruffdawg who has found it previously so pretty sure it wasn't there.

Spent 2 lunch times looking. Like the other geocaches I wonder if it has gone missing due to the new fence construction.

After a couple of misses this morning, I was happy to get this one. TFTC

Not sure if we were in totally the wrong spot, but it looks like there's some work being done at GZ. Maybe it's gone?

Also looked various places and DNF. Was some construction at GZ.

It wasn't in the likely spot. Checked inside the carpark as well.

We also didn't find this one. We found something that related to the clue, but there was a nosy security guard watching our every move and we couldn't commit to a full search. Hopefully we'll get another chance the next time we're in town!

Haha, clever, once I figured out what level I wanted it was easy. TFTC

Saw this on my way to another cache. As I was in a hurry I didnt search long. On the way back to my car I thought about it again and approach froma different area and soon had the cache in hand.

A sneaky hide

Training session finished early, so I took the opportunity to grab some city caches before the train ride south. Followed the pointer to this location, I could see lots of muggle gardeners in the Court Gardens, and was thinking to my self that this was going to be difficult. Reached the lowest number of the count down, with the pointer doing circles, wondered where could this sucker be hiding, turned around and there was the cache, a nice hide in plain sight. Grabbed the cache, signed the log and returned without any muggles being wise to my past time. Thanks Shael6636. [^]

Finally found it - I don't know how I missed it the last couple of times I tried. Thanks for the cache.

I found the cache, but still have no idea what the hint means. Maybe it got moved from its original location?

Found it during my stay in Perth. Nice place! Greetings from Germany.

Another fun find at lunch time during jury duty

Late night find b4 coffee and cake with marmalade and la cherie

TFTH having a good night un with greenmount Andy and la Cherie

Searched for ages, up and down the stairs, looked at the lights. Nothing. Couldnt find any correlation to the hint. Thats 0/2 in caching ... its just not my day

Nice easy find.

nice find was on our way home from dropping my sister off at her river cruise good location

5th for the day. Travel bug taken from cache and will be re-cached shortly. TFTC

#553# Dropped one TB in this small box.
Papa Fachaela from Germany

Found on the way to work, in the rain! Nice hide. And I could sign log out of the rain - bonus!

Quick find with Devar. TY. <3

Well this one had us scratching our head. GZ moved a few times here on the GPS. Up stairs down stairs, then there were the masses of muggles going to watch "Peter and the Wolf" at the concert hall. Eventually started looking in all the obvious spots after narrowing down GZ. TFTH

Busy Busy day today. Had to go to the Target toy sale with our Neice and 3 Nephews all under 4! Then had to go into the city to go to Miss Mauds for lunch.. Such hard work. Then thought I'll just attempt those couple of caches that defeated us back in April. Approached GZ and had the cache quickly in hand. Much easier than last time when it was missing. TFTC Shael6636

A very good hide-enjoyed this one-needed to watch for muggles though.A clever cache.
Brian and Rona.

I was in town for a course and with a long lunch hour thought i would see what was around using the iphone and sure enough there was one just across the street and hey presto it was quickly in hand. I will have to do a few more next week this is the first time i have used the iphone for geocaching and I was most impressed.TFTH

Took a little while, but finally found it. No trackables inside. TFTH.

I was concerned as I approached GZ because I didn't see anything that matched the hint. A few steps forward, it all made sense. Made the quick gra of this clever cache! SL

TFTC!

The easiest find to date

Nice!:) TFTC It was easy to find:)!

Easy to find, TFTC Freak_72

I found it again!!!:-) TFTC freak_99

TFTC !

Silence can be deafening.

We're over from Adelaide for a few days for a training session for M, so why not make the most of it and let A roam around all day and discover Perth, and then in the evenings go out and explore a bit more together.

This one had us walking up and down for a while, before M struck it lucky and just happened to reach for the cache and come up with the goods.

All silent here tonight.

Took a while to find, but didn't read the hint before going!

Nice quick find.TFTC.

found it back when it still existed

I used to work here so was a laugh to discover how close a cache had been to me

My GPS was playing up a bit in this area, but I found it fairly quickly when I had a proper look around after going up and down the stairs a few times ... there's not too many places it could have been. TFTH

Court was not in session so we headed of to the next nearest cache that was in the direction of travel Conference was over so Joseph and I headed to down town Perth to look around and pick up some caches while doing so. This was our second find.

Found this arvo after a quiet walk in the city. No muggles around at all, must all be at work. TFTC

Out on an afternoon of caching and decided to collect this cache whilst it was still there.

Thanks for the cache.

After a short search it was a really fast grap. There are not so many possibilities for a magnetic one.

And after our arrival on Wednesday it was our first cache in Australia (but not our last one.....

Solo cache on way to work this time. Almost too easy now that it's actually there. TFTC

Loved the levels - kept us guessing - enjoyed the search after a wonderful 'High Tea' at the Duxton with some treasured friends.

Nice hide

Good one!!!! TFTFC

Found on an early morning walk in Perth.
The hardest problem was to get the log out of the container.

Found at 3.10pm GAFF1. We thought that the song was written and sung by Simon and Garfunkle, or maybe that was "Sounds of Silence"?
We enjoyed the tour of the building - well that side of it in any case and were pleased to be able to find it where we thought it was when we first arrived. Lots of interesting acts on their way to the city!
Thanks Shael6636 & the_robots.

New replacement cache is in location.....enjoy

I may as well add my name to the list of DNF's on this one though after I checked all the previous logs I stopped my search.
Maybe next time...

A few people have been unable to find this one, so as I was walking past the GZ today I had a quick look and feel where we left it and I didn't find it. It really should be checked because it's part of a series and people may be wasting their time. It may still be there or have slipped a little - who knows.

6 DNF in a row now. Can you please check on the cache??

Another one where the GPS was playing up. There were too many muggles nearby so gave searching away until I get a better GPS or it doesn't play up so much in the CBD.

NOPE! It's not there... or it's very well camoflaged in plain sight. Anyway, I made about 10 runs at it from different levels and directions between well dress muggles to no avail.

Another one not found - I think I found where it should be, but it isn't. Probably time for a health check

Tried in vain in the evening and then again the following day. I had one level that still needed a going over but painters were intruding on my search zone. Never mind...

we tried this twice over the weekend once from the outside and then from the inside. We are either on a very wrong track or its gone!

We spent a long time at this GZ. Few Muggles around but still came up empty handed. Hope it's still there.

Thankfully it was pretty deserted on a sat. afternoon. TFTC

Nice spot

Second visit, not in the dark this time

Not sure about the relevance of the clue but found it. TFTC

Greetings from NZ. This was an easy find until I dropped it out of reach. Hmm - how to get it. Managed to find a way, signed the log and replaced hopefully correctly. Phew! Thanks goodness. Thanks for the placement Shael6636

We looked up and down. We walked up and down but eventually gave up. Hope it is still there.

Got it on a sweep of nearby caches. This is one that some colleagues and I didn't find when we were in Perth on a brief business trip last month. It's always something of a relief to find one that was a DNF earlier. TFTC!

came past on the tready during the week only to find a concert on. found it on sunday when the
"sounds were silent". tftc sl.

On my trip with my mum sissifalke we drove from Darwin, to Broome to Port Hedland, through Carnavon, to Exmouth, to Monkey Mia, to Geraldton, to Hyden, to Bunbury and finally we went through Freemantle on our way to Perth.
We also stopped at this cache..

Thanks and best greetings from Sydney
