Have looked for this one previously still no luck despite 6 teams looking and no response to previous NM 12 months of dnfs time to go
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
no luck - A trip to Perth and the first thing on my mind was the caches.
Started with an Earthcache and moved on to the rest. Great place WA is, look forward to bringing the family back on a holiday.

Ditto previous DNF, could not see/feel after searching high & low.
Out enjoying sunshine on the deadly treadly with fellow cacher.

Couldn't find this one. Only seemed to be one obvious place and couldn't find it there... however, it's when you only see one obvious place that you often fail to find caches at all
Even with the line by line hint I can't find anything
@Deelitscher: so check failed

If anybody could check whether my Coin Project Geogames 2012 is still in there, I'd be happy to know about it. If you could take it along to the next destination, I'd be more than happy! It's been "stuck" in Western Australia now for about 2 years and doesn't move much.
This is find 2 from a total of 2 finds today.
This cache is also my Find 3280.
Thanks Askalon&Sons for the cache.

Found on my way to the Furnace
A quick and easy find with no muggles about. Log is full and unfortunately I didn't have with my full geo-kit on me so I could not drop in a new log.

First western Australian find while on a work trip. A nice outing from the hotel. Tftc!
On holiday from South Africa managed to go to wa goes big and will still have time to do a spot of local caches. Went with to take my grandson to the doctor he wasn't feeling to good after the visit went and found this cache. He was delighted and wants to do the others . Will have to come back another day as it started raining. TFTC
Originally logged under family name of clan-wallace now slowly transitioning to new name
Being watched by local businesses but they soon got bored with us & we were able to make the find. TFTC
Thank you! Found without too much difficulty this afternoon. Clue noted, though not sure when I will have a chance to get others in the series.
It's becoming a bit of an annual expedition of mine to head out on Good Friday to tackle some urban caches in the hope that the muggle activity might be a little reduced.
A reasonably quick find here after starting a systematic search in a deserted area today. Jotted down the name for the final.
Askalon&Sons I found your cache at 4:47pm, this was the 2nd of 6 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3044. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Pinjarra at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2016' event on the 4th - 5th June. Registrations now open.

Enjoying a nice lunchtime stroll and headed over this way to pick up a couple of Cache Wars hides on my way Arrived at GZ and realised there was a muggle standing outside one of the nearby premises and I was directly in his line of sight. Decided to wait things out and to my delight it only took a couple of minutes before he ducked back inside. He was probably on a ciggie break! Otherwise I seemed to have the place to myself so I started the line by line check. Fingers got a bit grubby but thankfully it didn't take too long before I felt something familiar and out popped the cache Picked up the character clue although I had to google him as it wasn't one I was familiar with! No problems cache-wise, it was soon replaced and I carried on my stroll back to the office TFTC
By chance and circumstance, this is actually my first geocache find in Australia! I found myself in the area and decided to walk down that way and see if I could find it.
In Perth for the AC/DC concert and staying a few streets over to the East but since I got us here a bit earlier than check in time I manoeuvred us country folk around Perth streets (thanks to my Nuvi) but couldn't find any parking near another cache so went and parked car at accommodation and walked to some others and thought may as well get this one too since it's just down the road from the previous one
The weather is really warm now, must be trapped heat amongst the city concrete but thankfully muggle found this one in the first place he put his hands find 3 out of 4 for him and only 1 for me
Quick sign of log and code noted then a walk to the nearest Red Cat stop for a bus trip back to accommodation and hopefully time to get a quick swim in

In Perth for ACDC tonight and staying in the city so a quick outing to grab some caches in this warm weather
A nice stroll from Cache Wars VI to this one and a quick find before two elderly muggles came out from nearby businesses
TFTC
Now time to 'Yellow Cat' it back to accommodation and enjoy the pool and spa

Grabbed this one in the evening - much easier to find then. A little dirty, but a fairly quick find.

Found this one at 20:00 while out and about at dinner time with my PiC. There was really only one (of several) places it could be and sure enough after trying a few spots, we finally had the stash in hand.
TNLNSL noted clue and a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Askalon&Sons.

Visiting Perth for a work conference. This was just a short walk from where I was staying. Out caching with MelHarmon.
Thank you very much for the cache.

Took a while. I knew where it should be, I just needed to let my fingers find the spot. TFTC!
I've been here before but it's always been dark. Today I found a magnet and was about to walk away mark this down as a DNF but something drew me back and a bit more poking around produced a cache.
Thanks for the cache Askalon&Sons.

Visited this Cache together with Apfelsine during our Holidays in Australia while exploring Perth.
Had too search a few minutes, but finally found it
Thanks for this hide from Germany!

Did a circuit before settling on probable location. Then as I was checking GPS I was asked was I still working. So I confessed that I was a cache hunter, and discovered this lady has a son in Tassie who is a cacher. So as she chatted on the phone I retrieved and signed the cache. TFTC
Not much to see here, was a good hiding spot though. GPS wanted me inside the gate but it was locked anyways.
Headed out this morning before the cricket to grab a few extra smilies and decided to find a few of my leftovers in the city. This one took a good search. Thought I knew exactly where it would be, but it wasn't there...then got muggled out for about 10 minutes and re-checked the first spot. TFTC
Found it during my short staing in Perth on my business trip. Thank for the cache.
Found on an early morning bike ride. Only took a minute or two. Was not in the first place I felt, but in the general area. Thanks for the cache.
At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking year through the world. Most of the time I'll spend in Australia and I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge during this trip. The chance of having a moving home zone should be takes, as it will make the challenge so much easier.
After the Kiwi's Brekkie Meet in WA (East Perth) I decided to cache my way back to the hostel.
I have no idea, why I couldn't find the box on my last visit.. I asked for help during the event this morning and got my idea confirmed.. One grab and I had it in my hand, must have been blind last time
TFTC and greetings from Germany

Found with dodgysearcher during a work break, been wanting to get this one for a while. Tftc!
This cache really strikes back. But we had taken care that it would't be too bad!
No muggles today. Therefore we could search without any interruptions. After 5 minutes we found the cache. Thanks to the owner.
I didn't have enough time to search for the cache cos I am meeting my friend at her work at 4pm so its DNF for me!
Even though I suspected where the Cache was hidden, it still took quite a while until it was in hand. Fortunately, it was very quiet this Tuesday afternoon and so I could log and return the Cache without problems.
Thanks for this Cache!
Found 2:35 pm, #2 of 10 (day), #692 (total)

Fortunate to have the place to myself during a quiet weekend morning. Clue and description spot on

Took a while and the filthy hands with business shirt isn't a great look. However it was getting dark and few muggles so great to get a smiley.
We thought we had exhausted all possibilities after looking in every nook and cranny, but then the GPSr pointed somewhere slightly different and persistence yielded the cache.

Don't know what all the fuss is about... Found it at the first place I looked. Tftc
Been trying to knock this one off for a few months.
Its not exactly a busy spot here, but everytime I've got to GZ, there are always muggles around.
A lunchtime walk today prooved the trick. Cache quickly in hand and log signed. TFTC

After a day of mixed success, Geodaughter and I spent a good half-hour looking for this one, to no avail. We looked everywhere we could possibly think a cache would be hidden. Peered into a few para-legal spots. Even overturned a few bricks. (However, we did NOT poke about in the rat poison.) GPS couldn't settle, either due to the weather or the buildings, so we couldn't fixate on GZ.
No luck. Might try this one again some time in the future. Maybe. We might need a few more clues.
