I had heard that a few cachers have been having troubles finding this cache & I just happened to be driving past & noticed some people looking for it, so I decided to stop & see if I could help... Unfortunately, the cache was not where we had found it previously
We continued looking around for a little while but the little nano was no where to be found. I would strongly suggest that this one needs replacing &/or checking... Thanks oneplusfive & lovely to meet you jonson

Thought we'd give this one a try as have passed here before but too many muggles. Much quieter today.. Found GZ but not where we thought it might be. Hunted high and low. Met up with Janine who confirmed we were looking in the right spot but no cache to be found. Noted all of the previous DNFs but also that the last log entry listed it as found. Will call again another day. Perhaps the owner could do a check for us please?
I don't normally do nano's but decided I had to do this one.
Didn't find it today
Rain has set in so I will be back

I have been dying to try this one, but too many muggles during the day so a night cache was needed to suss this one out. Fussbit and I tried for about 30 minutes and numerous spiders later and couldn't find it, but determination and another night caching - hopefully we will next time:)
Out on a very nice winters night with AutumnOwl to grab some caches in high muggle areas (during the day). We looked and looked, plenty of spiders, one very large huntsman we thought we found it, but it was an old battery, admitted defeat after half an hour
Out and about with Skippy46 and the kids today to find some of the newer caches in the area. Our start to the day didn't go too well with 2 DNF's before we made any finds.
Unfortunately this was one of them.

Mums friend came over this morning so we could go caching.
We had a pretty good day we found 8 out of 10 caches.
We couldn't find this one.

Searching for this one with JBoyLaser (grandson) and our GPSr seemed pretty steady at what we assumed to be the GZ. Didn't read other logs until we got home. Mmmm, maybe we'll do better next time. Besides, it was threatening to bucket down again any minute so we didn't give it our best shot. TFTH oneplusfive.
With the weather looking cooler with the cloud cover, we headed back to Rockingham.
Today, we found a total of 21 caches, most were hidden in the local parks.
After a short search, the cache was soon located.
Thanks for the cache, oneplusfive.

up and down we looked and had to take some time out to read past logs to see if we could located this little one. It took about 35 minutes before we had it in hand
Another day of dragging muggle partner north so I can do some caching [^]. All adding up and getting me closer to my 1000th find though not quite there yet .
This one took a bit longer to get the smiley and just about gave up when I decided to have another look as partner couldn't see it from below.
After twisting myself around I spied the 2 caches then I had a slight mishap [:o)] and one cache went somewhere (the one richlink put there) but I managed to salvage the original cache .
Oops sorry but could only reach with fingertips before manoeuvring it into position to grab. Thankfully log got signed and replaced cache back where I found it minus it's buddy
Find 2/34 for todays effort and 6 dnf (tho some may be missing or suffering from major cache creep )

Fairly quick find. GPSr took me immediately to what turned out be the correc GZ. Had a feel around, didn't find anything, went to look at GZ from another angle and spotted two nanos. Went back to GZ, grabbed the nanos, signed one of the logs and returned both nanos. Thanks for the hide oneplusfive
We decided to grab this one as the last for the morning before heading home. We had been in the area claiming smilies a little north of here. We searched high and low, read some previous logs and then geowife spotted the little blighter. There were 2 caches at this location, we only signed one though. Reading the earlier logs it explains why there were two caches. Both still in place. TFTC oneplusfive
Tftc after 2 hours hunting and a few scrapes and bumps it was finally located. Look up

Went caching with gerry72au after I got a call complaining that she couldn't find it lol. Searched all over and got interrupted in the middle of the search by muggles with their puppy, once they left I reread logs and tried again. When they were spotted we raced up to grab and sign. Tftc!
Yay, finally found this one after trying it for so many times before!
Saw the cache lying on it's side and got all excited, and then when we opened it up we realised the one we found was the one that went missing... So we looked again and found the original too! Haha
It was very close to the new one!
Anyway so now there is two caches in the right location side by side!

We found the cache quickly but dropped it as we retrieved it. After an extensive search we were unable to locate it so we were force to replaced the cache with new a silver nano and a brand new logbook. Appologies oneplusfive, but the cache is still in action.
Out and about for a caching run with Keego and AmstradKid in the Baldivis area. Last cache for the morning. Took a little bit of searching but got there in the end.
Thanks oneplusfive.

[:(!] After church we went for a caching run to do the next part of the Periodic Table Series and fitted in some extra ones along the way and this was one of them, parked the geoGrand Vitara as close as possible to GC496ET (Mendelevium) and then rode me geobike, met the geowife at GC2MQ2P (Central Nano), on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes, then we loaded the geobike back onto the geocar and were off again to the next one.

An early find on a massive day of bike caching through the area. Thanks for the cache.
#3 on a busy afternoon of caching with kyzabra took about twenty minutes of hard-core-caching to find the sneakily hidden design TFTC
Found today @ 4pm. Seen Kyzabra was also here earlier ... A very sneaky hide this one but found on my own with the help of the logs TFTH
Very sneaky little cache. Like others, the GPS had me on the wrong side. And the spotter is handy, but not essential.
Just about ready to give up but one last look found it. Signed the log and off in search of another.

Hoping for a quick find as it was stinking hot by now, we got out and started trying to find this sneaky little nano Wow, so many places to look! We figured we knew what was required however we just couldn't spot it
We started a more thorough search, before a call for help was made Back to our original line of thought and the nano appeared in a spot we both had checked earlier TFTC oneplusfive, signed log and replaced ready for the next victim

Found @ 09:47!
Find #06 on a morning of local geocaching!
Don't see why you would need two people - I managed fine by myself! Actually suspected where it was initially (due to good coordinates), just couldn't see it from the first angle. Once I spotted it, it was easy to work out how to retrieve...
Signed log in a nice bit of shade with a seat overlooking the park to get a break from the Sun!

A quick find as I had read previous logs. A beautiful summers day so nice to have a stroll around parks like these. TFTC oneplusfive SL Will attach write note ...
The log book was full. I have put in a new log book which I had to trim down so it would fit. So good for about 22 more entries ...
A sneaky little so and so, but we found it. Log is full. Will add a maintenance log too
Found it!
Quick find. . .albeit with a bit of muggle dodging. . .

We all had a look around for this one by ourselves with out any luck. Then we attempted the spotter method mentioned in other logs and had it in 30 seconds flat [^] The structure is a bit of a white elephant...

Great cache....nearly gave up but persistence and eye strain paid off!! Definitely was an advantage to have 2 of us there.Happy mothers day 2012.
Found this one on the way home from visiting family up Lancelin way. Another smiley face for me here. Did it on my own too!! Got lots of exercise, going up, down, up, down, round and round, but found it in the end. TFTC
I figured I would go a little out of my way on the way to the gym (at nearby shops). I drive past this one every day on the way to work and keep looking at the 2 people reference and think, how hard can it be?
Firstly, 35'c day is not such a good day, but I figured I was on the way to the gym anyway so it wouldnt matter if I built up a bit of a sweat.
I got there and went "under" first thinking that I would spot it that way and then tackle it from there.
Followed the arrow and was just about to go under and looked up to see a swarming wasps nest about a meter away from where the GPS was tell me to go. Now I dont mind getting my hands dirty but I draw the line at being bitten or stung for a smiley face.
Think I might leave this one for another day when they migrate away from the area.

Parked near GZ only to see lots of metal and some covered area so the GPSr was going to be requestionable. Check the terrain rating to narrow it down and then wondered about the 2 person reference. With only 1 part of the team here I got the message and moved to get a visual sighting and then moved in on the hide. SL and replaced with a little difficultly.

Going with a friend or partner is definitely recommended for this cache, as other logs have mentioned. It is pretty well hidden, but someone with a keen eye from the right angle could probably find it fairly quickly. We managed to find it after 15-20min Nice work oneplusfive!
Just about to give up when I had a last minute look and there it was. TFTH

I found this very difficult. My GPSr put me on the wrong side of the structure. It was only with a friend's hints that I found it. Then retrieving without a second person to assist was very tricky. Thank goodness I had gloves with me. Lots of spiders. TFTC.
After doing the Bike hike series I decided to do a few around the Baldivis area. A tricky one this one, but I had read the previous logs so I knew how to attack this one. Cache sighted now to the task of retrieving, I am glad I had my Urban Camo gear on. SL TFTC
A nano on this structure this size could of been very nasty, fortunately with two of us, we managed to cover some likely spots in half the time and soon made the find.

A beautiful Spring day and a caching run through Baldivis with The Machman.
Nasty very nasty. Decided to split up 1 high 1 low and soon the sucker was in hand. Not quite where we thought it was going to be.

This was a nice hide. We divided the search, one going up on top and the other below. The combination led to a quick find. TFTC oneplusfive
TFTC. Easy find when standing beneath and looking up. Had to wait till rain stopped to continue looking, hence no muggles due to weather.
I approached the structure with some trepidation - that's a lot of places to hide a nano! Also, it was raining and the wind was freezing, so I was keen for a quick find.
Happily the coords were 100% spot on for me today, and I made the find in under 5 minutes, without reading anyone else's logs!
Thanks for the cache oneplusfive!

We used the past logs to help us find this one. Within a minute we were signing the log. TFTH
This structure is quite a feature....
Took a few minutes searching before we spotted it.
Many thanks,

Following on from our series along the freeway, I managed to convince Geowife to stop off and grab the last of the unfound ones I had left in Baldivis. This was one and after wandering around a little, I managed to spot it and guided Geson to make the grab.
Thanks for the cache oneplusfive

We looked around our GZ before reading the previous logs which subtlely helped us and we would have saved quite a few minutes if we had read them before starting our search. Once located a quick retrieval was made. TFTH
Had a day out with kellyxley and Princess Fiona. Took a while to find with a couple of muggle kids around, but stood back and wondered where we'd put it and used a tool to check those spots. TFTC!
Once the arrow settled down I applied the " where would o hide it" principle and made a quick find. Tfth
Searched gz for a while before deciding to extend our search area and found it quite easily. Gz and what our gps was saying gz was were over 5 meters different. Glad we found it
A suburb we have only visited to hunt for caches and today was no exception. A lovely park that was devoid of muggles so we were able to leisurely suss out the gz - we liked it a lot.
well we have never seen so many redbacks in one place so weren't really up for putting our hands anywhere to explore! Certainly couldnt see anything after 20 mins of walking around, never mind
What a nice entrance to the estate, and just begging for a cache, thanks for supplying one and bring us here. Searched high and low , SL TFTH
Bummer didnt find this one the heat was getting to us today so decided to have another go at another time, I WILL FIND IT
A short search at the GZ failed to reveal this pesky nano, but a short walk and a veiw from a different perspective showed the hiding place, I do like nano logs when you get them early, easier to replace. SL TNLN TFTH
It certainly helped to have two of us searching for this one, one to spot from below while the other groped from on top. Thanks for the hunt oneplusfive.
A team effort with this one - Urch below located the cache & provided directions to me above to find yet another nano (I think they are breeding!). TFTC oneplusfive
Didn't get notification that this was published not sure why but as we were away over the weekend it wouldn't have changed anything.
Tricky hide but spotted it and then guided someone to retrieve it.
Found with stringerscraven. TFTC

Found with gum-nuts who had hoped to be first to find. Better luck next time gum-nuts. Is this really meant to look like a railway station?

I drove down to find this cache as I wanted to check out how my son's new house was progressing very close to here. GZ seemed to be obvious but couldn't find the cache so walked away and came back at ground level and could then see the cache. It was was close to where I had been feeling for it. Found that the log was empty so FTF was a bonus.
