Spent an hour looking but couldnt find it. Will try again another time if I can get a clue. Sorry
TFTC. I visited several times but no luck. I asked for help finally. Thanks fellow cacher Chrishere for his kind help.Thanks col117 for hiding and maintaining the cache.
My targets for today are new LGA and virtual caches.
This find should add another LGA to my WA map.
Good camouflage
Thank you for this cache

Having a small window of time we headed for a cache or two. Plenty of levels and places to hide. Hade to wait out a few waves of muggles between searches. TFTC
This was a bit of a mission, but eventually I found the correct elevation and a revealing viewing angle.

Hi there col117. While out on the road today we found this cache at 1146am after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to col117 for this cache - our find 8993 and the 2nd of 2 finds for the day.
Took a few minutes. I messaged a friend but found myself before the response. Thanks for the hide
We were tipped off where to look by another team ( thanks for the help guys we appreciate it). We be-lined for the location and found it within 30 seconds. It was in a place we did look the last times but we must have had our eyes lined up just wrong those times so missed seeing it.
At last we can tick this blue face off the screen.

Out and about while we're still allowed fresh air and exercise. 14 caches visited with 12 finds and 2 DNFs.
This was find 7 of the day. Had an area planned out and this one was within it. Oh my heart sank when I saw where it was. I have been here before and since I didn't log a DNF I think I must have posted a note.... At the time I was dropping a rider off at the nearby carpark for the start of the Canteen charity bike ride. The place was swarming. Well today when I turned up I was 'oh no - not this one'...... Well after doing a google earth satelite picture rather than the Cachly picture I slightly moved my position and while I did check multi levels I was thrilled when I popped my head up and found a dirty spot housing a beautiful nano..... I actually said out loud 'you beauty'.... VERY pleased to get this one off the list. TFTC col117

The second time we have looked for this one. We will mark it so it doesn't show up on our searches so we don't get tempted to look a third time.
Didn't find the cache but I found a mag of meth lol - I didn't touch it though - il leave that for a muggle
A day out of the office team volunteering today, and with the early finish there was a chance to grab a handful of caches in Bassendean, an LGA I have not yet ticked off This was one of the hides I stopped off at. So many places to hide a nano here... and I went straight to it! Sometimes the caching gods look down and take pity No problems here today, no muggles and a nice quick find. Phew. TFTC
Great little cache! So many good hiding spots... not sure if we found an original or replacement.. the last entry was Jan 2019
Found It!
Spotted this one after a bit of climbing around. Hasn't Freddo told you what us South Australians think of nanos?

Returned after a dog years ago. Decided to look where I would hide it and there it was. Great hide. Tftc
Second go at this one ... always nice to turn a frowny blue face into a happy yellow one . Found in the first spot i looked this time around ... and not a muggle in sight!

Out for our lunchtime ride and thought we would pick up a few more smileys around the area. When we arrived at the GZ there were muggles everywhere. We stealthily located the cache, retrieved and signed the log then replaced the little nano as we found it.

Out today after breakfast with the family in South Perth and decided to head north east today from maylands upto brabham including a stopnin Whiteman Park to cleanup a few more green dots.
Thanks for a great afternoon, great weather, and good caching.

Oops forgot to log this one, replaced with Neva2Old last weekend. Was way to early
About to walk away defeated and then spotted the nasty little nano.
TFTC col117 this is find # 4374 for us.

With permission for the co I’ve replaced the cache with a little bit of shenanigans from Shortie27 and Parkacruz the job is done
Thankfully we are able to tick this one off the list of DNF’s, thanks to the CO for allowing the cache to be replaced by Neva2old. With Neva2old and shortie27 some giggles were had TFTC
The bridge has been repainted and repaired, can you please check it its still there. Many DNF's so maybe its not.
Out today with a previous finder, the bridge has been painted and repaired and no longer in its position. Co can you please maintain
No luck today for me . I searched for about 15 minutes in terrible heat and with delinquent muggles passing frequently by
Maybe next time ... TFTH col117

More than a cool day, but probably warmer than in Canada for their winter. So out to celebrate Canada day with m4yb at a couple of events, so let's grab some caches too.
I think this got washed away with the new paint job
**Didn't find it...**
Too good for me today...
Either my caching eyes weren't working or this one need checking...
Thanks anyway col117...

Couldn't find it, not having a lot of luck with caches within walking distance of work.
This one's been a bit of a bugbear of mine with two or three visits for no reward. Came back today after discussing the hide with a previous finder and turns out I would never have found it where I was looking before.
Managed to grab the little sucker but with the wind and all the log went flying. Took the cache back to the car and fashioned up a homemade log that should be OK for a while.
col117 I found your cache at 5:16pm, this was the 4th of 4 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3553. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Originally found under family caching name clan - wallace now branching out under own caching name
Out in Bassendean with WebblyWA &m4yb on an LGA Challenge hunt. We spread out here to find the pesky nano. By chance I went in the right direction but soon had to call for reinforcements. By my reckoning if you are 2 inches taller than me you shouldn't have any trouble! TFTC
I was very happy for a chance to redeem this DNF from over 2 years ago. Very lucky that Clan Wallace was in the right place to make the find, and lucky 2 that WebblyWA was there to make the retrieval. TFTC col117!
After meeting up with Clan-Wallace and M4yb at the last cache for what we dubbed 'Mission Bassendean' we jumped in the one car and set off. This was a must do stop to try and turn M4ybs DNF frown around we split up and took the high and low roads. I wasn't having much luck only spotting a tree that had been stabbed. When Clan-Wallace called for my in built attribute. Just have a look there she said. Sure enough my hand went up empty and came down with the cache! Team work at its best. TFTC col117
In the area and decided to have another go at this one. Lots of muggles around hampered my search efforts somewhat, managed to check a couple of spots but had to leave empty handed again.
col117 I couldn't find your cache, this was my 1st DNF for the day. I did have 1 finds today so all is not lost.

Found pretty easily thanks to spot on coords and some clues in previous logs. TFTC col117.
Headed to Bassendean this arvo to see if I could track down some of the local caches. Seems there are few more in this area than last time I was here.
This was the first stop and I had a feel around in a few locations feeling a bit exposed in my work clobber. I think I know what's required here and I'll be back one day in my ballet shoes.

We had eyed this one off a few times when we lived in Perth last year but weren't game to try to find. Conducting some business nearby and decided to give it a go. The previous logs helped narrow things down and in the GeoJ had the tiny critter in hand. TFTC col117! A brilliant spot!
Bit of a stretch but found it. Fortunately not so many people about. Thanks col117 for the hide.
Not one for shortys I am 5.8" and this was a stretch. Took 10 mins or so to find. Nice hide I like the levels so you can not pick which height to look at. Started looking at tho one then changed twice and came back.
My husband & I searched for about 15 minutes, looking at all levels - no luck!! We gave up as the Railway Museum was next on our to do list and we don't have many more days in Australia before returning to the UK.
Still no luck on our second visit so logging this as a didn't find. Had a good look around with small fingers searching the railing but still no luck.
Hopped off the train on my way to Midland, hoping for another find. Spent about 15 minutes looking, but stopped as I felt I was providing entertainment for the muggles sittin' and drinkin' nearby in the park, plus the fact that the cache hasnt been found since January. I'll try again on another occasion.
A day out with The Drovers and JoshyJayPlay before the heat of the day..It is a beautiful morning and wow...I was really worried about how long this was going to take and Mr. Drovers had his hand on it with a few minutes while I was reading the past logs..TFTC
An early start, for a morning of caching with JacobsCrew.
Found a good variety of caches in the area, all well hidden.
Thanks for the cache, col117.

Found this on the second attempt, after reassessing the level. Glad to have ticked this one off my list. TFTC
A challenge for me as I am terrified of heights - anything above one step up a ladder is pretty scary. Braced myself and spent a good 10 mins looking and feeling around without luck.
I really don't like nano's, Particularly micro-nano's like this one, they are so easy to hide and you never really know what to expect when you poke your hand into all those possible hide places.
But, . . . we were doing so well today (despite the rain) and it was on the way home so thought I'd give it a go. And actually found this little blighter.

Woohoo, finally found this. When I was last here (just over 2 years ago) I searched in vane for a good half hour. Was a novice cacher back then. Didn't take long this time, not because my searching has improved but because I now know several cachers who have found it before

Out on another caching day with skippy 46 and to clear somemore of the caches up in this area. This is our third trip up this way and we had another successful day with 29 finds and 3 DNFS, we were lucky here and made a very quick find TFTC col117
With an oval full of soccer players, I thought this was going to be impossible to search, but within mins had the cache in hand, with it being in the second place I searched.
Signed the log and returned with no one bothering us.

GSAGC #238. Was a bit worried that this one hasn't been found for 4 months but it's still in place
Found @ 12:08!
Only find on this warm day (apparently the 'RealFeel' temperature is 39°C now)!
Quick find once I was in 'search' mode. Only the second or third place I put my hand!
May hang about until the nearby Railway Museum opens at 13:00...
TNLN TFTC!

Spent quite awhile on this one (mostly at the wrong level) but not as long as we usually would on a darn nano. Easy hide, really, when you think about it. TFTC
