Muggled.

Signs of it being stolen, if I'm looking in the right place it definitely stolen

Stolen cache.

Found stolen 16/04/2023

Someone ripped it off the fence

Wasn’t there

?

Found it, thanks creators.

Nice place. But forgot to bring a pen

Quick find, good spot

First cache found with boys

It was not there

Yay

Nice

I think I found it on a side walk and it says turn 4

2nd attempt we were successful

Nice find here! excellent hiding spot

found it, great spot! log needs a refresh though, looking worse for wear

Very overgrown and rubbish around so no luck on this one.

Didn't find it

Unless I was meant to trespass onto the schools property to get this one I have no idea where it could be

Surprisingly instant find in a great hiding spot!

Just had to wait for the muggles to move on before signing and returning.

TFTC

Nice hide in an interesting spot tftc

Found it. Actually grandy found it . TFTC

Out and about finding some caches around the Beechboro area today. Very cleverly hidden this one TFTC

A little difficult but not to bad

Super easy find

DNF

A nice and quick one to start the day. The log is a tad moist, but not too bad.

TFTC!

Drove over to hopefully pick up a few caches by bike. Absolutely soaked by the time we had the second cache in hand, so decided to give up and ride back to the car! A very short trip with just 4 finds. This was our second find and the rain was coming down hard while we searched. Mr O had the right idea but Mrs O had the right location. TFTC Clan Willow!

Nice quick find today, all in good condition. TFTC Clan Willow!

Out & about with Team Barritts, tftc

TFTC

Found by Mason Crone

All's good here. Going stir crazy at home so, taking all precautions, came to grab a few caches. TFTC

Easy peasy

Quite a busy path this morning.

TFTC Clan Willow this is find #8827 for us.

Tftc

Out dodging showers. TFTC

Health check

Nice spot, husband spotted it very quickly.

We had made a plan mid-week to head northwards from home to collect a few caches. Our travels brought us to this area and we grabbed this cache while passing by. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Clan Willow, I was in this area today and found your cache Cycle Mania – The Dish GC1XAHN. I added my name to the log book at 1:17 pm on 1 December 2018. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

This cache find brings our total find count to 10187. Woohoo!!

Out & about finding a few caches in the area, we found what remained of this cache so found a bison tube & logbook in our caching kit & attached to the host for you.

This is one of the great things about Geocaching - have lived in this area for over 10 years, and never knew this path and lake existed.

Like others have said, the container needs replacing, as the bottom part has been lost, along with the log book.

Will pop back with a new container, if I get the chance.

Photo provided as evidence.

TFTC

A nice quick find here but half the cache and log are missing, we did take a fresh log with us however it could not be left behind TFTC

Found but no log book. Bottom has been destroyed.

B12 and i at it again collecting caches TFTH

Heading north this morning with the intention of caching from dianella and surrounding suburbs to kiara and then back home via Cannington and canningvale for a couple of puzzles.

Was a good morning out finding a variety of different containers, never really got into the rhythm of it with so many containers that have gone AWOL and require help from the cache owner, which was a shame.

Good to be back north again finding some numbers as we've just about caches out the southern suburbs.

Thanks for a nice morning caching

TFTC! Worth the 500 metre walk from the car, easy find today

Nice easy find. TFTC

A juicy redback had found the cache aswell and was hanging onto it, tftc

After flying in from NZ we headed to this cache at about 10 at night to get 2 caches in 2 different countries in 1 day after getting one in Auckland before our flight. A very quick find. TFTC.

Flew in this evening for a week long visit with Dad and Lycurgon and I figured out we could get caches in 2 countries on the same day! Approaching GZ realized there could be only one place for it and soon had in hand TFTC

Easy find today, I also found heaps of wild raspberries. A Foragers dream. TFTC

Day 2 of our little 3 day gettaway in the beautiful Swan Valley. Caching in Caversham and Guildford This was our 1st find of the day. Very interesting to see the Optus Satellite dishes. SL TFTC Clan Willow

Quick find with the kids after a morning at the footy. TFTC Clan Willow.

Will look again another day

That was fun we found it after a while good spot!

Surprised there aren't more finds at this cache, to me the hide was a logical one and I found it through a process of elimination. Without giving too much away I think it was around the 8th one checked. TFTC

Was a bit concerned that I wouldn't be able to find this, given the last find was almost a year ago (despite what's recorded in January). I've been past this Optus satellite area a few times before but never looked. When I reached GZ, my stupid GPS had me looking in the overgrowth before I looked closer at the satellite image and moved to the right place. Ignoring my GPS got me to the obvious (or not?) location. I've seen a few hides like this so it was pretty easy to find. Love these hides though. TFTC Willows!

As an aside, given the dish is Optus, I like to think this is some prank they pulled on me for being with Telstra.

Found on 12/8/14 with james. Nice hide

Out first DNF..... Can some please put up a hint if they find it be looked on both side the sheep side is very overgrown....

found. very very nice find. found straight away

A near hide. tftc.

Lots of frogs making the walk a noisy one. I have placed a new log as the last one is soaked.TFTC.

TFTC Log still wet so needs replacing as I don't see the weather drying up for the next month or ao haha

Great spot for a hide. Kids found a lizard while we found the cache. As others reported logbook wet. Tftc

Yay, found it. Will need to go back and sign the log but have tsken a photo of it.

A quick grab on our second attempt, after realising we were on the wrong side of the footpath. Logbook wet and so we were unable to sign it, we took a photo as evidence instead. TFTC

We have tried a number of times to find this one with no luck. Has anyone got any hints to help us please?

Decided to take another run back up this way today after i didnt find many the other day. The day started out great until i got to the 4th cache and it was missing. I thought i will just replace so i can sign the log so i opened up the boot got the container then shut the boot and instantly i realized the car keys were in the boot.....The whole car was locked with my mobile sitting on the front seat so i had to knock at someones front door to use there phone to ring the rac then wait half an hour for them to come. Once i had the keys to drive again after wasting a bit of time i still managed 19 finds and 2 DNFS so the day still turned out ok....
A quick find here, clever hide TFTC Clan Willow

My apologies for the late log.
Over from Victoria visiting friends in the area so couldn’t resist a couple of finds.
Took a few minutes to find the prize but we got there in the end.
TNLN
Our thanks to Clan Willow for the cache and bringing us to this very pleasant and interesting location
Sorry, no pen but I have a photo if the C.O. needs verification of the find.
Locations like this are 'the icing on the cake' of Geocaching with the locals hosting us anonymously to their favourite spots.

Took the GeoChildren out for a bike and scooter ride this evening before dinner and decided to detour to get this cache. Love the position, watched the birds and saw a Black Swan. Log was wet and starting to grow mold, so we replaced it with a temporary one for you Clan Willow

wet log but a very good hide

found this quickly

awesome hide

We found our first geocache! HOORAY!!!!! But the log needs replacing, very wet. TFTC

Log is soaked and needs replacing

TFTC. Found with Chooke. Log needs replacing.

TFTC.

Log was wet. Was unable to sign. Took photo. Will meet a new lig book in a snaplock bag

Found while out on a bike ride around the neighbourhood with wot.
Cache was found easily, but unfortunately the log was wet. As we were riding, we didn't have a pen on us, but I did take a photo and will add it to the log soon.
TFTC.

FTF in the second logbook! Although its a new Logbook, it was already wet, when I found the cache today... Maybe the container should be replaced, cause it seems not to be waterproof.
TFTC and greetings from a German cacher!

Workman near the GC. Will go back another day.

Glad it wasn't in the thick bush nearby... cachers should be careful wandering around there as the grass has grown so high the ground looks deceptively higher than it actually is. Almost lost me!

TFTC

While over from the east visiting my daughter and new grandson Oscar, I managed a half hour after dropping number one granddaughter off to kinda. After doing the other one close by I still had time for this one. Very suprised to see the 3 dishes here, nice quick walk and back to the office. Excellent hide, nice and dry this one.
Thanks for the cache Clan Willow

This is the third one that has been bugging me out of the way nice hide

Excellent hide spot - enjoyed walk along to GZ. Signed the log - Thanks Clan Willow.

What a cool place, I wouldn't have known these were there. Not a bad hide either, I was scratching my head in the middle of nowhere for a couple of seconds before I saw just that little something. Thanks!

[:(!] Did a bit of caching before going to square dancing, parked the geocar close to GZ and walked in from there, arrived at GZ and within minutes I had the cache in hand. SL TFTCF/TFTH

An interesting area that we were unaware of previously. Cache in good order TFTH.

Nice hide ??

What a nice hide, had me thinking for a while but soon had my 'Thinking cap' in the right place
TFTC

Rode around from the other Cycle Mania cache. Searched in the wrong area for 10minutes, all the while cursing Clan Willow since I HATE the bush. And then I found the cache which, inlike the other Altone cache, is perfectly dry. Thanks for the cache Clan_Willow.

first find! took me a bit. id found it without relizing. i thought id touched bubble gum at first. looked around elsewere until getting frustrated and going back to my "bubble gum"

TFTC!

TFTC! Forgot writing stick

Clever use of existing facilities. Good hide. Unfortunately the logbook has become damp and will need attention shortly. TFTC

Wooo, finally found it. But really should have found it first time round, as my hand was dancing over it. TFTH

Thanks good day out with the kids
