No find for freddo today. You could hide a 60l rocket bin in that scrub. The best searching device might be a brush cutter.
Three times I've searched that same bit of ground with no luck, can someone who knows exactly where it should be either give me a clue (under a tree, under the broad leaved plants?) or have a check it's still there?

Peter & Marian in Perth for Peter's Nephew's wedding.
Had look about where I thought it should be but too many muggles about.
Maybe next time in Perth.

What a great area to cache (or anything else).
Quick visit from Adelaide. Walked from the city through migrant areas but saw very few in the park.
Took two TB's (VQ60W3 and Q4KJ79) as going overseas in September.

I had to revisit this cache after not being successful on a an earlier quick visit, scared off by muggles, this time I cam up trumps! TFTC
I did go to this event but didn't get the cache on the day.

I had my sister (who lives nearby, I live in Canada) drop off two geocoins in this one. One of my own, and the golden spike geocoin which wanted to travel here.
Bonjour from French Canadians,
Great sunny day, great park
Took TB left Canadian flag

Another quick find in this beautiful little park. Unfortunately I missed the 10 years event in Hyde Park although I was in town.
TFTC and cheers from Germany.

Funkerlein from germany found this cache in a nice park. I put a little kangaroo in the box. It is A travel bug from Hawk-Eyes.
Thanks for the cache .... Funkerlein

Found while out caching and sightseeing with Skatterling. I grubbed around in the bushes for about ten minutes, convinced I knew where the cache was. We decided to give up and go hunting for Hide Park. Skatterling found it easily. Took Eeyore Travel Bug, left Ghost Egg. TFTC, SL!
Found it the second time round after getting stuck, finding another cache and coming in from a different angle. Barberanne couldn't believe I'd found it so quickly but I spotted a familiar camouflage. We swapped swag, picked up a TB and signed the log, then covered it up a bit more. T4TC!
Came here today on a great sunny morning with family. We climbed the nearby trees. I went looking for the caches in the area which was so much fun! This is a nice ammo and also in a great spot ...... No muggles around. Took TBs to send travelling on. TFTC
I didn't make it to the event but was in the area today so decided to find the cache. A quick find but not where I was expecting it to be. L:Geocoin Thief FC. TFTH.
Nice quick find.
I used to walk across this park to work in 1980's
Thanks for bring me here.
Good muggle memories back then.
Happy Hunting

Happily ticked this one off after missed out to find it at the last Event. Alchemy2 found it before me. It has been joyed to bring me back to the beautiful Hyde Park.Thanks for the cache.
Nice to have a BIG cache with room for the larger goodies. Found at 2.10pm. Took a Smilie badge and left a water pistol. TFTC. Nice spot. Now off to another in the same park! YAHOO!
First find!!!!!!!!!!!! took some time to get into the right frame of mind and think outside the box, ha ha, all looks dry and happy. I was so fired up I went off and found another one.
Stepped in dog poo right infront of the GZ location.
$140 pair of hockey shoes with poo smeared into it is outside in the sun drying.
Not many goodies inside the cache /disappointed

Unfortunately I was away when the event was held - I'll get to one one day!!!
Took the opportunity to grab the cache seeing as I was in the area - sort of!!
Felt a bit dodgy playing hide and seek in the garden trying to locate the cache but after allowing the GPS to settle down and searching in all the likely spots I came up with the goods.
Thanks for the cache - and organising the event.

Rushed over to find the cache with everyone else, then stood back while they found it. Managed to squeeze in my log in 8th place and got a card too!
Thanks for the event and cache!

Found whilst at the event, stopped for a chat with yet more cachers. Thanks for giving us the chance for the extra smiley and Bear Left your Android gets the thumbs up.
Thanks to the generosity of Ian, we got the coords for this one and could follow the crowd to the cache. This is our first find in the metro area. TNLNSL...what a great day.
TFTC it was easy to find after following the tribe. Took 10th to find cert. What a great day.
Found while at the 10th Birthday event. Another bit of entertainment for the day.
We found this during the 10 Year event .... something special to do for today. Thanks heaps!! This is a beautiful spot.
Found during the 10 Years event held nearby. Thanks for the great event & the new cache

Found after most others already had. You could say we avoided the rush by finding it as we were ready to leave for home. TFTC to accompany a great event.
A bit of a group effort to find this one. Great fun. TNLN. Thanks Shael6636 and the_robots
Having arrived a little late at the event we missed the mad dash for this cache, but thanks to a wink and a nod from the owner we made the find without any effort.

Found it Ok,it was great to talk to other Geocachers at the 10th anniversary event. TFTC TNLN
Amongst all the excitement and loads of finders, I forgot to log on the website that Miss6 and I were 6th to find.
Sort of.
If you count "encountering a crowd gathered around the open cache container on the ground" as finding.

Not realising that Shael was kind enough to give us dual credit of this cache (even though we hadn't seen it, or knew of placement location, etc until finding it), robots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 finally found a cache all together! Call it a family effort, pleased to only walk 80metres from the nearby 10 Years! event, once the first few pages of finders had already chalked it up.
LOL FTF yay! go me! - very easy cache.. found it with out the GPS too. Is going to need a better hiding place if it is to live in this location long term. TNLN SL TFTH
There was a Prize! - I didn't know that.. no to worry.

Joined up with Gerryl for this one, at the 10 year gathering. His GPS took him straight to it, ours took us to some different vegetation!? TFTC LN but placed the Kangaroo Bear TB.
What a crowd. An easy find if you just followed the group. Thanks for the cache.
