As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available 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.

We have looked 3 times now and can't find it Sad one of the big trees blew down last week and we wonder if the cache may have been lost. Will try one more time.
 
24-Sep-11
Oh dear, the whole lot is missing!!!

Obviously someone wanted to keep it!!

Sorry, this may take some time to replicate and replace.

3962 + 206 = 4168. A couple of finds before heading to the airport to fly home...

I had time for a few caches before heading to the airport this morning. This park was a quick detour off the highway - and I was lucky enough to make a quick find. A really neat hide - well done iTreasureHunt !! Needs a new log.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

I searched those trunks very thoroughly then started to look at at other possibilities. Great cache iTeasureHunt.
 
07-Jun-11
A hard one but finally found it with the help of friends. Thx
 
29-May-11
found long ago when it existed and really enjoyed this one
 
29-May-11
amazing cache, love the effort, really is great to find caches like this
log needs to be replaced
 
02-May-11
Love these alternative caches, we really enjoyed this one as it's quite similar to a cache near our home which we see all the time but isn't as hard, mr teamAustralia blew mrs teamaustralia away with his sharp eyes Wink
 
25-Apr-11
What a cache!!! Good effort. Took a family who lives close to this cache for their first geocaching trip. This was last on the list. The father of the other family was truly astounded when we finally spotted it.

17-Apr-11
Awesome cache, I love your work. Found in about 5 mins. TFTC
 
28-Mar-11
Finally found it after several visits. After looking all over, I decided to trust the co-ordinates which were spot on.
A very clever hide. TFTC
 
24-Mar-11
Easy find in the dark, except for a couple of muggles walking around. TFTC!
 
23-Mar-11
This took some finding.

Thanks for the cache great camo.

CoolCool Love this cache. Was a bit hot and humid today. Found on my 2nd visit today. Picked up a hint from SquALeD at a nearby cache and found on my return trip heading North. TFTC TNLN SL.

Really really clever!! there was no where else to really look! Found it at sunset. TFTC
 
15-Jan-11
Hooray, finally found this one! Must have taken 4 or 5 trips but very satisfying to finally find it. Clever hide. Thanks for the effort of putting it together.
 
05-Jan-11
Walked in circles for about 15mins before I had to give up. Will keep an eye out on this one. TFTH iTreasurehunt.
 
03-Jan-11
2nd visit and still can't find Sad
 
24-Dec-10
My GPS says that it took me only two minutes to find this cache, but that's because of the cache description and the picnic rug clue. I had a fairly good idea where the cache would be located and what it would be. I was right on the location, but not on the container. Well done with the camo. TFTC
 
21-Dec-10
This one took three visits before the obvious became more obvious. Very clever hide with the high skills employed by the owner very evident once the cache is found. Well done. This is likely to become one of my favourite searches. CoolCoolCool
 
24-Oct-10
Had us walking around in circles for a few minutes, then it dawned on me, and sure enough there it was. TFTH
 
16-Oct-10
Eventually found this one with a little help, like Some of the others once you find it its hard to believe how you missed it.
I remember the large pine plantations around here especially either side of South Street where Kardinya and Samson now are.
TFTC TNLNSL
 
11-Oct-10
Found in 5 minutes. Great cache, as it's a good search, but obvious once found. TFTC
 
30-Sep-10
Found it this morning yes it took time but was happy to see it Big Grin
 
19-Sep-10
Had a look for a few minutes to no avail. We then got the blanket and lunch out, had a enjoyable picnic then another look and found the hide. Another very interesting hide.

18-Sep-10
Have tried twice...no joy.....nice play ground so will be back...

TFTH Very Happy

#100 - W00T

Came last time to this cache but looked for ages. This time we found it in under 30 seconds (27 seconds to be exact) I seriously can't believe how we missed it last time! Anyways I now declare this cache to be my 100th cache! Next for 200 shall be Come in Sucker. Man you are really good at camouflaging stuff!

Laxadd Very Happy

After spending almost an hour on my last visit to Perth in May I found this one today within 5 minutes. Sometimes you need to talk a more general look.
Very nice container.
TFTC and cheers from Germany.

nice day out with geo family
 
30-Jul-10
Went to look fo come in sucker but seeing as i was at a scout activity last night and this morning i was pretty tired as my scouts didn't go to sleep till mid night.
Had an idea on what it might have been.
Found it after bout ten mins
thanks for the find
 
24-Jul-10
Duh, why didn't I find this one before, great camo!
 
20-Jul-10
Looked for over an hour..... still cant find it. Grrrrrrrrr.
 
20-Jul-10
looked and looked and it wasn't until a fellow cacher said that we were at the right tree that we broaden our horizon mrs allys angels read the details and pondered a bit ,then mr allys angels came up trumps clever hide

what can i say W.O.W tfth
 
09-Jul-10
Genius! Pure genius! Made all the more challenging by the fact that we were hunting at night.
I was literally walking back to the car when Mjayrippa called out the familiar "found it!"

TFTH
 
20-Jun-10
Sorry for the delay....This cache is now up and running again. Happy hunting.
 
10-May-10
Sorry, I have disabled this cache because the container needs maintenance. My plan is to have it up and running again very soon.
 
08-May-10
I had a bit of a walk around and for 15 mins the GPs kept bringing me back to the same spot. Finaly had a stop and think moment and looked at the clues. It wasnt quite a eureka moment but I did think of other possiblilities and one of these proved to be correct.
Unfortunaltly I damaged the cache slightly(the owner said it was in need of repair already when I contacted them) and if the next team took some Contact cement with them it would be an easy fix although it would take about 10mins drying time before it was ready to be put in service again. You could have a short lunch break while waiting.
Thanks and sorry if we cause any inconvenience.
 
30-Apr-10
Had to go out to do some shopping so made a loop of some of the unfound caches that I haven't found as yet.

Found this after a small search of the area.

Thanks for the cache.
 
24-Apr-10
Found this.... geowife been sneaking off to this location at least three previous times with no luck and lots of frustration... two kids went to play ground whilst others looked far and wide. Noticed cache and geowife and geodaughter within inches and they were still blind.... I thought they had found it and weren't telling me. Great cache. Needs some minor TLC. Thank you so much for frustrating my wife.
 
16-Apr-10
took me a little while
TFTC
had a lot of fun in the place
 
08-Apr-10
Found at 15:30, WOW! We thought Don't Go Bats was great, this was much better! Our GPS doesn't fare well under these trees, so we had to take readings out in the open and triangulate (well, once we got the latitude correct _somewhere_ and the longitude correct _somewhere_ we kind of walked intersecting paths and then looked where we met.
Most finders indicate trust the GPS and this was as close as we could get to that! Red Face Once we got to the point of moving stuff out of the way so we could have a good look, it didn't take too long Smile

I'm sure this cache could well be pooh-poohed by jaded 2000+ finds cachers if they were so inclined but this is really a must do cache for almost everyone!

*Overall Experience: 5*

Thanks for the cache iTreasureHunt!
 
06-Apr-10
Oooh! This was so good! Thank you!!
 
06-Apr-10
A very clever cache. I think I've been inspired! Thank you.
 
06-Apr-10
I happened to cast my eyes in the right direction after contemplating the picnic-rug suggestion!! Smile What a clever, clever cache!! Thanks heaps ...... lots of fun with this one!!
 
28-Mar-10
Maggie's sharp eyes eventually spotted this one. The picnic rug part of the clue is what she said helped her. Good hide. Tfth.
 
28-Mar-10
Third find for the Day great Camo.
On to Come in Sucker little did we know LOL

thanks for the hide
the KIds thought it was great.
 
13-Mar-10
Great hide, lokked all around on the ground, the tree trunks - could it be cleverly disguised as a pine cone, no, The after a flash of inspiration found it. Great hide and excellently camouflage.
TFTC, SL.
 
07-Mar-10
After hunting around for Come in Sucker, this one was heaps easy! We have many kinds of this type of cache where we come from...and had wondered ourselves if we should do one or two like this but not on this tree! Way to go, great camo job!

07-Mar-10
After finding this one we thought we might have some fresh ideas for "sucker" and went back.
TFTC
 
27-Feb-10
After 30+ mins loking in all the wrong places, on the brink of giving up, with GPS all haywire, geomum had a brilliant idea of where it might be and she was exactly right. Man what great camo, TFTH SL ...
 
23-Feb-10
Came back to clean up my WA DNF. Well I was up early due to east coast 'jetlag' so dropped by and found it in minutes this time. If I can find Come In Sucker, surely I can find this one I thought! And I did. Only cache I had time for on this visit. Thanks!
 
21-Feb-10
RADICAL. Great camoflage. Once we unscrewed one half of the cache, we had trouble finding the other.
TFTC. TNLN.
 
16-Feb-10
Brilliant camo! Well done Smile
 
13-Feb-10
After failed to find COME IN SUCKER cache and I came here and found it quickly. Love it. It was an excellent homemade camo cache. Thanks for the hunt.
 
03-Feb-10
Having just done Don't Go Bats I was confident until I got here then I re-read the description but couldn't work out what anyone was talking about. I was there for a while checking my GPS and looking over an ever increasing range even though everyone says to trust the GPS. In the end I decided to go back to Come In Sucker before the neighbours called the police.
(The happy ending is that I found Come In Sucker so that gives hope to everyone who has found The Remnant).
Had lunch with the cache owner to discuss Come In Sucker but I didn't ask for a clue on this one, will await my next Perth trip in a month! Thanks.
 
31-Jan-10
Found after a short search, a great idea for a hide

Its a great camo job, just blends in.

Thanks for the hunt and the cache.

I did this cache as a prelude to Come in Sucker. A very well hidden cache. TFTH.
 
16-Jan-10
Very clever cache - TFTH.
 
16-Jan-10
Fantastic little hide here, I went in completely the wrong direction, luckily both AusTrackers were on the ball and found it quickly. TFTC.
 
15-Jan-10
We did this one as a warm up before attempting what has become the ultimate in cache deception "come in sucker". Took a bit of finding but 2 found it as We was looking totally in the wrong spot.
Great camo TFTH
 
12-Jan-10
I'm not good with crowds and your newest one was that way plus I was not impressed with some of their search methods so I decided to do this one which I had in hand within 5 minutes.
Sorry wiggytig had found first. Must be the younger eyes

30-Dec-09
Came back for another go at this, LOLed hard when I saw it...brilliant first hide iT.
Was about to call it a day for the 2nd time but then it hit me....Wink

Left shaking me head lol - TFTH guys!
 
29-Dec-09
In Perth to celebrate lots of family stuff but there were two things we just had to do - perform maintenance on our “Out There Flat Out†cache and visit the cache which lists our cache as its inspiration. We were not very successful in our first endeavour (Flat Out might be on the endangered list), but we are pleased to say that in our second task we were very successful. Great little number guys. Certainly had us checking the co-ords until we made a very satisfying find. So good to see something that people have put some thought into. Can't wait to see what other tricky hides you can conjure up. Thanks heaps iTreasureHunt for the fun
 
27-Dec-09
First attempt, four of us couldn't find it... We'll be back.
 
23-Dec-09
Girlfriend works nearby, so we went hunting in her lunch break. Very cheeky, hiding in plain sight. May have called you rude names when we finally spotted it Razz
Thanks!
 
21-Dec-09
Great job for a first effort. Was convinced the coords were way out because I just couldn't find it but nope they were spot on.
Thank you
 
20-Dec-09
The clues helped in finding this creative little hide. Thanks iTreasureHunt
 
11-Dec-09
Very clever cache, well done. I was struggling to find this as the light was fading when I got here, but luckily I managed to spot it. Thanks for the cache.
 
03-Dec-09
Muggle central will be back.
 
29-Nov-09
Very clever hide but it was geo hubby that spotted it first.
 
28-Nov-09
superb first cache....very clever...keep up the good work.. :0)
 
26-Nov-09
Tried for this on a nice sunny Thursday morning but there were lots o people taking kids to school etc so I couldn't have a good go at it.

Didn't seem to have any GPS probs (60csx) and the unit went down to 0-1m round a particular tree. Had the feeling the cache was staring at me but...

Be back soon for another go.

TFTH tho!
 
23-Nov-09
Great Cache, found surprisingly easy considering, although still took some time.

TFTC TNLNSL
 
22-Nov-09
Wow! What a great first cache! Cool Had me going around in circles for a while before spotting it. A very nice park to start my day, and a great bonus of a FTF as well. Thanks for the (treasure)hunt, iTreasureHunt.
 
22-Nov-09
Well what can I say....it is always a bit worrying if someone comes up to you saying: "I know what you are doing!" ..but it was only the cache owner who was watching me walk around in circles scratching my head and cursing my GPS which had decided it didn't want to play and kept telling me the cache is around 300m off in a different direction...even after a lot of talking to and gentle coaxing it didn't want to play. After the cache owner felt sorry for me and pointing me in the right direction, I decided to get the Nuevi out of the car and use that to find GZ. What do they say? Pride comes before the fall? well the Nuevi finally got me to GZ where it took a couple of minutes to spot the cache.

Very well done iTreasureHunt! Without you I would have spend another hour walking in circles or chucking that GPS in the next bin!

I anyone else has trouble with their GPS on this one would you mind dropping me a note to compare GPS's etc? Would be very much appreciated. The funny thing is it worked fine on all the other caches I have done with this GPS...except for Rushton Park Hideaway where it did the same thing...odd....

Thanks for the hunt and chat iTreasureHunt Smile
 
22-Nov-09
I knew what it looked like because I helped iTreasureHunt make it. He hid it last night when I was asleep. We met Me&B walking in circles. We let her find it first thinking she was the FTF but Urch had blown it. I fell off my bike because I rode over a honky nut lying on the cycleway nearby.

Hunted for what seemed like forever. Gps seemed to settle after a while then would go off again. Distractions didnt help. I'll be back in a week or two and I wont be leaving until I have found it!

Thanks for the hunt!

Walked around in circles with the robots trying to find this.

Resorted to checking every possible item, using the etrex as wella s 2 x phones. We have given up when we spotted it. One of my favorite caches now and a awesome 1st effort for itreasurehunt - you did an absolutely amazing job on this cache Smile
