TFTC! Out with Cravo10 on another Thursday caching trip to cleanup another corner of this state of ours of unfound geocaches!
We met up in Booragoon where Cravo10 was getting the Geo mobile serviced, so we were in the Mazda today, which meant no big kerbs, no off roading (well maybe a little!!). We didn't make the same mistake as last time with KrabiBoy where we switched the dynamic of who was on navigation and who was on driving.
We headed out to cleanup a bunch of caches in whiteman park and a few other areas of natural bushland including the get smart series by felix, the badgerup lake and gnangara lake caches too.
All caches found in pretty good order, loved the walk through the whiteman park trails, a nice walk with a reasonable path in a place I would have never otherwise have visited!
Cache of the day would have to go to wet work, a nice cache that is Very easy to find, but a great idea. You can only guess who got their feet muddy for that cache!!
Thanks to the local COs for a great day out and we can't wait to come back sooner rather than later!

DNF today but stopped our search after leaving a legless slithering local undisturbed. Decided his mother may be nearby. Will look again another time.
We were about to give up when I checked previous logs and they gave it away a bit... TFTC
Interesting history too : )

Awesome location. Found it no worries after reading some of the recent finds. Unfortunately this was not planned & had no pen to fill in the log.
An impromptu stop to Whiteman Park and decided to try and get a couple of finds.
Unfortunately no luck here as rain and time beat us, I'll be back soon to get the find.

Well I guess I was a little premature with the DNF, after finishing lunch early and reading some previous logs we quickly came back to get the find before continuing our adventures, TFTC.
tftc blingg a quick easy find even though the coordinate's are about 15 metres out.
While I was looking in the wrong place with Me&B another group 19mts away made the find.
We gladly signed the log.

Found Perth Rail # 5. OzMom made the found. The cache was wet and barely could sign the log. TFTH blingg.
I'm much better at this caching business than I was on my first search for this cache. Took about 5 seconds to find this time. Added a new logsheet.
Paper was wet so couldn't sign. GPS was also slightly off. Thanks for the nicely placed cache though!
Had a cursory look around 'the spot' but didn't see it. Lots of workers around so didn't look closer.
Said I was 12m from it. Clues helped I don't think I'd have found with out!!!
This one was tricky requiring experience rather than coordinates but again today the cry 'found it' was heard. Thanks for the hide
We are currently in Western Australia visiting our daughter and her family and taking the time to do some exploring when we can sneak some time away from them. During our first week we were able to head down to Albany and Denmark for a few days before heading back to Perth for another two weeks.
We had our two grand daughters out today with jasenjanine and their two boys. The kids had a terrific day riding their bikes around Whiteman Park and just generally having a great time, with finding caches being an added bonus. They were excited when the cache was located and we were able to add our names to the log book.
Thank you blingg for having placed the terrific cache series and maintaining them all for everyone to enjoy

Visiting Whiteman Park with Just A Trifle, this was one of the caches we found whilst exploring the sights... The kids loved taking a ride on the train & the adults loved finding the cache The co-ords were not leading us in the right direction, but with the logs the area was narrowed down & the prize was soon found.

Found it quickly this time around. TFTC!
Note log paper was slightly damp, perhaps could be better protected.
Also coords appear off, at least according to my GPS, which averaged GZ as...
S31 50.056' E115 56.647'

Like the other comments, a little off GZ but an easy find spot (heed the magnetic keyword!) Didn't have supplies with me, but there is still room for a few more entries. Will drop in a spare log after work soon if no one else does! TFTC.
Unfortunately my Garmin only holds the last 5 or 6 previous logs, so I couldn't see any spoilers until I got home on the computer. The old guy kept watching me anyway, and that made it hard to search without drawing his attention over my way.
Log book still needs replacing and co ords are really not useful except for the proximity. Spoilers helped I feel safer now after checking the emergency equipment
Thank God... Took a while

Enjoying Whiteman Park today for Father's Day, collecting a few caches as a bonus! Lots of muggles around riding the train, blissfully unaware of our caching antics! Hehe! Tftc
Logged under Mummy & Daddy's name smileyjims but I have my own name now, I found this cache with them and wrote in the log book with them TFTC
A few stops before starting our caching morning with papillon367, who had found some of the Whiteman Park caches already.
Here megawat60 was the one to make the find. Some muggles walked by and paid us no attention whatsoever.
TFTC blingg!

Out with m4yb and this was on the list that papillon367b had already found so having arrived a bit earlier we did this one first. I made a quick find here after navigating around the streets, been so long since I have been to Whitman Park.
Thanks blingg
