Our 2nd day, caching around Rockingham.
Surprised ourselves and had a quick find.
Great park.
Thanks for the cache, wileyclan.

Dragging muggle partner out on a caching run north of home today [^]. Warm weather predicted but no second thought when many caches to find.
We went to do this one the other week when we were caching in the area but someone was sitting at gz for over an hour so we bypassed it then .
I was dreading this one as those suckers can be hard to find on a structure like this but I walked up to it and spotted cache straight away but slightly out of my reach (pushing 4ft 8in if I'm lucky) so muggle grabbed it for me .
Quick signing of log and put back and off to the The Warehouse for a cold drink
Find 10/31 and 9 dnf (tho some maybe missing) today

Following my most frustrating DNF of the day on a 1/1 cache over the road, it was an instant find on arrival at this GZ. Yay! Thanks for the cache wileyclan.
Nice easy find on way home. not sure the terrain meets a 2. maybe if they haven't mowed the lawn for a while TFTH
Enjoying the variety of caches and locations. Found with J+J.au while on a caching holiday to WA. Greetings from N.S.W. SL..TFTC
Thanks for the find this i100find

While at Bunning I decided to look at my phone to see if there were any caches around and sure enough this one popped up. Easy find. TFTC
Lovely spot - have lived in the area for 10 years and never knew this existed. Tftc
Need a bit of height to retrieve this on. Then how to re place it! Managed in the end. T F T H
Terrible day for us today, unfortunately we could not find this one. After reading the other logs im sure we looked over it many times but it just wasn't our turn to find it today. We will be back to try again soon. Thanks for bringing us over here, its a nice little park.
Sneaky hide. Almost missed this one. Thought I was going to need my new grabbing tool.
Thanks for the cache Wileyclan.

A quick stop off after a trip to the big B.
A short search once the GPS decided to play the game and the cache was found.
A nice spot for a nice hide.

Ahh, got it this time.
As with some previous logs, I don't know how I could have missed last time.
Anyway this should cancel the DNF from my last visit.

A lovely little park in a busy centre, Was a bit vertically challenging for two shorties!
Lovely little park in a random spot. Was a good hunt and felt rather silly when we did find it. Nice spot to sit and sign the log book too.
Found @ 16:14!
Find #08 on a New Year's Day afternoon geocaching trip near Rockingham!
Parked in the corner of the Bunnings carpark close to GZ.
A circled the object once without seeing anything, then sat down to wait for GPSr to settle.
After a minute or so I stood up, walked to GZ and spotted the cache straight away! Don't know how I missed it the first time...

Did I just sin and goto Bunnings but not go in ?
Nice quite area for a coffee after my next visit I think.
No one around so parked near the entrance and quickly made the find.
Signed the log and replaced.

Was out caching with my dad (Kyzabra) and found this with him.
I only just activated my premium account so am going back to mark my finds.
Sorry about the late log

I parked in the Bunnings carpark and made the short journey over to GZ. After letting the GPS'r settle, i found the wee treasure quite quickly and sat on the nearby chair for the signing duties . It would be the first time i've been in a Bunnings carpark without actually going inside ... have to get back for lunch. Maybe tomorrow .

I try for this one around a year ago came back today and made the find I'm sure I look here last time. TFTH SL.
How many times have we driven past this cache and not called in. Today we did and we made a quick find. Thanx wileyclan.
Woah did this one take a long time to find - much longer than it should have considering I had already looked there earlier. Does it being dark earn back some of the lost respect? TFTC.
Tftc quick find Found with Amstrad Kid

Out with Garde Le Roy for a day of caching and her GPS would not start so the rest of the day it was the trusty Neongeo against my Montana 650 with some suprising results.
My GPS very accurate and found within a minute.
Thanks for the first of many today.

Yes it is a pergola. Why it is there is hard to fathom. Pretty park, but who would go there with Bunnings so close by.
fairly hard to find [in the rain], openned nano to sign log, but thought it might get wet so put back again.
THLH DSL. tftc Wileyclan.
note:- log was dry, but looked to have been wet previously - looked a nit smudged.

A trip down to Rockingham to do some caching with Keego. A little searching was required before the object gave up its treasure.
Thanks wileyclan.
Thanks wileyclan.
While in the area with ShortCutHicksy doing a caching run in the Rockingham, a quick search of GZ and SCH again came up with the goods, hmmmm.... we can now see what we are in for here in the area. SL TFTC Wileyclan
A quick grab is it was just getting dark. Thankfully, I had a flashlight with me. TFTC!
Good find, almost completed the rocko tour. Freezing night, 2 out of 2 finds so far.
Found it. Took some time but stood back and there it was. Funny thing was that I look all over several times before I actually found it.
Cheers wileyclan
Cheers wileyclan
Third cache in my warehouse visit, while Geoson was at a party. Arrived at GZ and thought, yes I have looked at this place heaps of times from my car and thought 'Why?' The same thoughts still run through my head....
After some inital searching and two dead spiders guts staining my fingers, I stepped back, and thought 'what am I not seeing?'[B)]. And during that thought my eyes were drawn to the cache, like a kid to lollies [^]. I'm sure the drivers pass by wondered 'why is that fool grinning so hard and wide?'

I consider myself somewhat fortunate to have snagged this as quickly as I did; given the minute size of the container and the amount of potential hiding spots, I was somewhat lucky to stumble across it within the first 60 seconds or so! Nice spot here! My last find for the day as part of a nice bike ride around the area, up and down the coast. TFTC.
GPS low on battery power and bouncing all over the place here among the trees. Then it died altogether. Bugger!! Never mind, I persisted with my quest, and eventually found this little blighter. Thanks
Dropped by today to replace the log book. All good to go with another nano log that is tight to get out
Cheers

Lovely location.
Searched for about 1/2 hour. Just ran out of nooks and crannys to look in.
I hope it was just me being distracted by the rain and lightning overhead.
I'll try when next I'm in town.

Needed to kill some time so off to the warehouse and to pick up a quick cache great hide ....
Found It! Was delighted to find it as I'm not the best at locating these things. Determination won out in the end. TYFF
Found it quite quickly, never new there was a park there and have been going to that Bunnings for Years TFTH
thankfully found this straightaway as these can sometimes take ages....thanks again wileyclan
Found by torchlight as dusk had beaten us today, but this was the 33rd find of the day, plus 3 MUNZEES, so really not complaining !!!!

Mrs Felix and The Machman have had a 'to do' list for Rockingham for 4 months. Finally got to make a dent in it today. After taking far too long to get south due to the fog and problems with peak hour traffic.
This was our 31st of 33 for a full on day way down South! It was dusk on our arrival and we had no luck on our first go round. Back to the car for the torches and then soon had the cache in hand.

Nice and quick after a trip to the nearby store. Darkness didn't hamper me at all tftc
We had gone past the entrance to the obvious parking for this one when it came on the radar. We parked further around and walked back. In the failing light it was a tough find, but when we gave up and went and got the torches, it was a lot quicker.
Thanks for all your caches today.
Thanks, Robmc.

Our last Wiley tour cache today and we missed the obvious parking spot for this one and had to walk in a bit.
It was taking too long to find and with darkness descending we returned to the car for a torch and on return
found it quite quickly.
Thanks for this and your whole stack of local caches today.

3780 + 146 = 3926. A quick run around Rockingham during another work visit to the region...
Second find after work today - parked as close as I could to GZ and had a quick walk over and an even quicker find - happy with that as it could have taken ages (speaking from experience from these locations !!) - thanks wileyclan !!
TNLN - TFTC !!

Wow we never knew this spot was here even though we come here and drive past it lots. My brother started calling this place the bank cause they seem to take all our money so now it's commonly known as the bank in our family. An old lady was walking her little dog around when we arrived. It's great to see it being used
Needed to make a quick stop at the warehouse and remembered about this cache....noticed another couple already at Ground Zero so was bold and went and joined in their already find.....nice to meet some country geocachers. TFTH
