If the log was found in the sand I think some maintenance is required.

Cache has gone missing.

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

The log book was lying in the sand....

We returned to try again . Conditions ideal but no sign of any little cache.

This beauty we found with Team Kriek just before my friend jetted off to Boston for 6 months in January '10 Very rewarding find! Nicely hidden, was a little tough during the dying daylight hours but well worth it! Wonderful views of the Ocean...TFTC

Grrrr - no luck with this one today....

No luck with this one. Reception was fantastic today on a clear but windy day at the beach.

This has to be the my favourite strip of Beach in Perth, have been here many times with family but never with a GPS to hand

So made the trip today with a GPS and no family, a quick search revealed the Cache, Found a tiny corner of log to scribble my initials.

Great Boardwalk, worth the trip alone.

TFTC.

This was quickly spotted but was wedged solid. We needed a lever to extract this.

Tight sucker to retrieve but had the handy pliers at the ready. Lovely oxygen flowing in from the ocean. Please inhale. Clear skies too.

This was a tricky little blighter - spotted it easily enough but getting it out was hard. I was using my pen as a lever and managed to drop the pen so I had to go and retrieve that - in fact it was easier to push the nano out from below! as a help, it is magnetic but its magnetic properties are not required where it currently is! The log strip is also completely full by the way. TFTC

Searched every nook and cranny ...

Had a good look around, but didn't find it. Having read previous comments, turns out it may not have been there after all!

Found an empty hiding spot. Will email owner

DNF. Will surely return on another beach visit.

Found it at noon after a bit of search. The log is completely full, unfortunately had no paper with me.
Nice hide.
TFTC and cheers from Germany.

Tiny capsule with some idiot's scrawl all over the log

Could not find this one as well. Not below or on the boardwalk. I hope it's not beeing muggled.
If back again, I will return.
Cheers from Germany.

No luck here although conditions were ideal. Second of four DNFs on this day

Took some searching with duncdonut73 as it was dark but got there in the end. As noted, no space on log but left a scribble. TFTC

Yeah an extra half star if you're looking in the dark, but the persistence of Mrs stevekellyxley paid off. Managed to make some markings in the log. TFTC

Eventually got it out as it was stuck.
Bring something pointy.

This was my 2nd attempt at this one and I am glad to say I found it..

TFTH SL

P.S. Log book nearly full

Found it. Cold down here this morning!! Log book nearly full.
TFTH

Another nasty little one

Second visit and it was found by the geospouse at the exact coordinates. Extremely difficult to extract as it was wedged in, had to lever it out using tools from my bike! Great location - TFTH.

Another DNF. GPS going nuts and getting late also. Excuses, excuses!!! TFTH

Found by geoson. Micro not where I expected a magnetic to be.

Found on a hot three day trip to Perth.Took a while to find. Luckly, during the week hardly any one was around.

Sneaky little hide, Lucky we had little fingers to retrieve it. Great spot. 3rd one this afternoon on our journey up the coast. TFTH SL.

I found it! for once my Nokia GPS was working well.
Wonderful spot to enjoy the sunset.

Found at 10.15am by my 4yo daughter as soon as she started looking for it. Got to see the Surf Lifesaving Heilicopter doing some practice which was great.

A nice plain view hide. An enjoyable walk along the boardwalk. TFTH.

Nice little walk and quite an easy find. Signed the log. TFTH & TFTC

Hmmmm... "you don't need to bring anything special". Except maybe very thin fingers...
Nice hide, nice area !

Took ages to find but got there in the end and enjoyed the scenery and kite surfers in between while we were searching. Thanks Perrycom

One of 3 DNF's for the night. Shr00mbait and i searched for 1/2 hour vefore we moved on. Might need to come back during the day time I think.

I didn't think this one would be so small TFTH!!

cheeky..... wow its nanocity up this way....TFTC

Found the cache and the old log right under it, still couldn't manage to fish it out with the pen we had on us. Nice hide! TFTC

3rd micro of the day and a top hide!
1st on new log lol

TFTH mate!

We accidently dropped the log book but then replaced it with some paper we found in the car. Sorry for losing it!!!
Anyway,TFTH

Looked, and looked, and Looked, and eventually found!!!!!!!!!!

Cheeky hiding spot!

we spent three weeks in australia and while relaxing, searched a few caches. what a lovely place! we enjoyed our walk on the boardwalk and found the little one. but we were a little bit surprised about the size. isn't that a nano cache, an not a micro? greetings from northern germany

It is nice to see revegetation work is being done to this stretch of beach dune. It reflects man’s care and stewardship of planet Earth in general. TFTH, Perrycom.

I simply love this boardwalk. Refreshing and breezy, we ended having our lunch at City Beach on the other side of the boardwalk. TFTH, Perrycom.

Just when I thought nanos give the creep, this time round I was the one that found it first. Dark Energy was all over the places to look for it! TFTH, Perrycom.

Nice easy find

TFTC

Another cheeky hide by Perrycom but it works! TFTC, Perrycom. Greeting from Geocaching Malaysia in Facebook.

While I was looking in the usual places, Mrs AusTrackers received a phone call and while talking on the phone she found the cache without even trying. Grrrrr - these multi-tasking females!

Found it straight away! Woohoo! TFTC!

WanderingAus wandered by on a run to fill in some of the nanos and micros I'd avoided while caching with the geograndkids, and was almost ready to abandon the hunt when another look gave me a GAFF 1 find. Very cunning.

My find No 2067, TNLNSL.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Two clever and two fun caches...one after the after.....and for different reasons.

Blingg's Floreat Sunsets was excellent for the clever hiding spot, yet this one is great for the cheek of the hide.

Thanks Perrycom for another 'What The' moment.

Now thats pretty cheeky Perrycom
SL TFTH

Came down from the new cache and had a quick find after waiting for a break in the many muggles walking along the boardwalk.

Thanks for the cache.

After spent in searching using methodical way and moved the area for one more before call it a day - here it is and found. Carefully removed and returned it back after logged. Thanks for the cache, Perrycom.

Approached from the other end this time and read all the signs. Quite a few people out enjoying the sunshine on the beach and in the sea. Had no problems finding it this time round. Just a matter of not trying too hard! Bit of a worry about dropping it when extracting though. Thanks for the hunt, Perrycom.

It was a wet and wild morning so there was no muggle traffic to worry about. Mr Blingg had brought along Mrs Blingg for this attempt (he reckons it's his 93rd). He walked to the spot he reckoned was GZ and said "This is where it should be" and Mrs Blingg said "Well maybe that's 'cos this is where it is" and bent down and retrieved it.
TFTC

TFTH. GPS seemed to be working well today. Got to GZ, quick look... Bingo!

This one had me for quite a few minutes, thankfully it was a windy and cold morning that kept the muggles away and gave me time to investigate. When I finaly found it I couldn't believe how easy it was. Brilliant hide. SL TFTC

The cache was a lot easier to find than I expected. I made the task more difficult than necessary.

TFTH

Found this one fairly quickly on the way home from a night of caching.Easier than I thought it would be.TFTH

1045hr
Like ROgue - I approached this one with a fair amount of trepidation having read previous logs. However, I'm happy to say I didn't go overboard with my searching - just kept it simple - and came up with the goods. On a windy day, I was able to sign the log and head off on another hunt.
Thanks for the cache, Perrycom. Pretty much muggle free which was a bonus.

Yahoo! Very happy to find this after the trouble everyone else has had. I think I searched for about 10-15 mins. Great hide!
Very windy day, so there was not many people about. Thanks for the cache.

Back again but even though I just about demolished the boardwalk ( tried pulling up the boards with my bare hands,tried pulling end caps off top and bottom of fence and took the sign off the support almost! ) there are now a few loose screws in the planks, I couldn't reach over the side to try under the edges so I jumped the fence and hung on to it while i looked there ( no I didn't leave the boardwalk!! )
Maybe if and when someone else locates it i'll return or maybe not !!

Twice today i"ve sought this cache but each time come away with nought
has it been muggled???

sno seeker kindly sent me a message today assuring me it is still in place - just a good hide!

Just a quick tip; you don't have to get off the boardwalk and you don't need to bring anything special.

Had a pretty good search here, but turned up zip. Maybe a special tool is required?

[Edit: oops - pressed the found instead of the didnt find button - sorry!]
