Thanks for my first find! The mysterious container seems to be a stick! (Clue not answer)

Its difficult to keep this cache dry. The log is now in plastic. Seal it well please. Enjoy the search! way-finder

This is a fantastic place for a cache.. quiet, parking and plenty to see. The only negative was the saturated log but it's still an excellent hide. I doubt we would have found our way here if it wasn't for the phone directing us to the cache so TFTC way-finder.

Like this. Log a bit wet . Rough out on water TFTC

A day exploring Fremantle and the general area around here. It is many years since weve had the opportunity to visit this location and its great to be back. An excellent location for this Hide. We could see a pink lighthouse and a green Lighthouse from GZ. Thanks Domsky

Out caching with Crazy_Darlin for my birthday. Our chauffeur found this one quickly as well.

Visiting from NZ and we had a few minutes to spare while waiting for the Rottnest ferry. Found surprisingly quickly given the difficulty rating. Neat container, Thanks for placing

Argh.. easy found. In the end

No luck for me today

No luck for me today

We spent a good long while searching and pretty sure we know what we are searching for. No find today but we will come back. We did however manage to accidentally time it to this arrival which was fun to watch

Routine check - cache is in place and ready to be found.

Hard but found

Happy for a quick find today. Nobody here but lots of shipping business. TFTC

Awesome hiding place.

I was very grateful for the shade on a warm sunny day... Sneaky little bugger! A favourite from me!

Searched every where.

Eventually found this after a read of other logs and every picture showed a different spot to where I eventually found it. The clue doesn't really work now as it's changed significantly. Found about 5 metres from where I originally thought and definitely suits the difficulty rating. Tftc guys

Hi Cachers,
North Branch cache is alive and well in it's hiding place. Happy hunting.

I branched out my search and found a perfect hiding spot near what this clue meant but nothing was in there. Pity it really was a great big spot, well hidden and enough for a very large container. Oh well

Quick find with Harry! Thanks for the cache!

Quick detour during the Turdlers car nap for some birth anniversary finds. It’s our birthday (The Turdler and I share this date)!! BM along for the ride too

Fave point for this one!

Thanks Utan,
I'll see what I can do to discourage the local wildlife from sharing the cache location.
Cheers, way-finder

Not kidding about the ants. Bring some ant dust Great hide. TFTC

Clever hide, was watched closely by a muggle so had to be discrete.. TFTF!

Finally got this one, had to go to geo-car to get tot to retrieve. Signed log and put back.
Thanks for the hide.

Found the cache but I wasn't able to get it out as a lizard wasnt letting go of it as it was wedged between him and the cache

Great cache! Found pretty quickly on a very wild day

Really Cool spot best geocache for sure

The car threw up a “charge fail” error on the battery on the way to this one. No way I was going to let a potential flat battery stop me from caching.

At least I was switched on enough (or maybe just lucky enough) to find this cache very quickly. Great little hide, TFTC!

Out and about enjoying WA day... A very quick find of the cleverly camps cache at GZ but unfortunately the log was sodden and therefore unsignable (photo attached instead) - have drained cache and dried log paper as much as I could, but may need CO attention. Thanks for the hide way-finder, fp awarded.

Found it! TFTC

Maintenance completed. North Branch is ready to be found.

Sorry, cache removed for maintenance, will be replaced asap.

WOW!! Great camo. We've replaced the wet log. The o ring was not sealing the container, not sure how long this one will last.

We thought swimming to the other side might be quicker but we decided to drive around. Another nice spot and this time is was geo-hubby who made an extremely quick find. It seems we are better in the difficult ones . TFTC way-finder.

Love it!

Such a cool hiding place!

Such a cool hiding place!

A great hide one of the best we have seen in a while. TFTC and a favourite from us

Cool spot! Cool hide! Also really enjoyed the drive in through container city. TFTC!

A quick find, well hidden. TFTC

Sneaky sneaky log was a little damp but ok to write upon. Happy New Year

The Scion of North Brach is back, clean and dry, ready to be found.
Good Luck. way-finder

North Branch has been removed for maintenance, it will be returned very soon.

Yay we're getting the hang of this Will have to go back to Red Light District to find what we missed. TFTC

Great camo. Found whilst out and about caching with I C Nothing. A fave from us.. TFTH!

Today we are out enjoying the sunshine and collecting a few caches as we go. Very clever cache hide. Took only a few seconds to spot.

Mummy found this one super quick great clue and really good cache it was a little wet

Very clever tftc

300 finds. Very cool cache

On a scattered showers, windy kind of day, the geopup and I took off to get as many caches around the wharves as possible. Took a few mins with this one but I thought I knew what I was looking for and I was right. Great hidey spot! TFTC

Hi cachers
A dry log now lives in North Branch. way-finder

Great cache, thanks!

Awesome camo , log was wet , but have put lid back on tight tfth

Found this on a beautiful morning walk
Very clever hide
There is a ants nest under the cache, so be careful retrieving it.
Tftc

**Thanks for placing this creative hide in an interesting location. We found after returning from an enjoyable stay at Rottness Island. Have a favourite for the creative cache.**

Brilliant, with the help of a fellow geocacher. I have spent quite a few attempts by myself and she got it within 10 mins

Brilliant hide

We’ve had some great fun this morning with the hides in this port area, they’ve been quite creative.
We found this one in the first place we looked.
As a previous logger mentioned it’s seems some ants have made the place their home and we’ve impressed at the intrusion.
Thank you for this hide

Quick
Tftf

Very well and cleverly hidden. Didn’t take too long but once we found it, it was surrounded by an angry ant colony. TFTC!

Found, log was wet. Didnt want to wreck it.

Clever find didn't take too long

Only took a little while before it twigged on us. TFTC

This took us far too long to find. Thought I was going rusty Haha great hide

Awesome hide took far to long lol tftf!

Smartly camouflaged well done, I’ve signed the new log.

Thanks Woody for the note: the cache is now dry with a new log. Happy caching. way-finder

The morning had turned into a popsicle. On the point the arctic winds were blowing through whatever jumpers we had on. Even the tissues Mrs Woodyrothwell had tucked into her bra weren’t keeping us warm.

We didn’t know where to park so we pulled into the the back of the boat harbour. It always feels naughty when you use paid parking and there isn’t a car in sight (and you don’t pay).

Unfortunately the log in the cache was a sloppy mess and needs replacing. I know that these days I’m supposed to put a Needs Maintenance on a cache but I can’t bring myself to do it. I feel like a dibby-dobber in preschool. The next cacher might like to bring their legally paid parking ticket to use as a temporary log. tftc

Found It!
Not sure how you get to the 'in' end of this one-way road. I walked back after parking at the 'out' end. Neat little hide although the log scroll is rather wet.
TFTC

Had the geo-sons with me for this one and after spending some time watching some passing boats and the fishing folk we made our way to GZ and I got a quick find of a well camo’d cache.

Thanks way-finder for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1455 for me.

TFTC

Brakes on the geocar gave away yesterday so we’re out with Thro60clan to try collect some caches for the newest souvenirs.
Being in the dark it was very easy to notice the difference and spot the host. Made the find, signed the log, and replaced back to the ants as found. Tftc

Felt a bit conspicuous driving here in the night but had the place to ourselves and suspect the dark made the find a bit easier
thronsy.4 walked straight to it once we found the right GZ

Being souvenir time and this being a good D rating we headed over only to spotted a number of muggle workers nearby and they had been clearing up the place so we began to fear the worst. As we got closer we had a 25m buffet but they had been through the space. Fortunately we looked at the right angle and the cache was still there. We added our name and re hid. TFTC.

Souvenir time means a little road trip time for the dimor team.
Left home around 8.00am with Freo as our goal, grabbing a cache here and there.

Well we eventually found our way in, as it was getting on dark it was hard to see the road but got there in the end
Finding GZ was easy in the dark but the cache took longer than it should have but I eventually suggested something to Mr dimor and then he passed it to me within seconds. Why didn't I open my mouth earlier, lol

TFTC

Blink and you'll miss it

Ein Teil des Teams war in entferntere Gegenden unterwegs und der konnte gut gefunden werden.

Vielen Dank für die nette Aufgabe und den Cache.

Out spending the afternoon picking up some caches. Tftc.

We had fun at this cache, it was muggled out with people sitting in cars and a group going up and down the road taking photos of motorbikes whilst hanging out of a car boot!!'
Anyway we were able to look like we were supposed to be there as three young boys exploring the park whilst there Dad sat there shouting at them not to do this and that, work well for cover. Eventually the hide was narrowed down and the eldest Radical_cacher was sent to retrieve the cache as there was a car was parked almost in front of it.
He did a good job and even climbed the nearby tree so he looked like he was supposed to be there
Thanks for the fun and reasonably secluded spot

I surprised myself with a quick find here. Very clever camo. As I signed the log the Rotto ferry floated by. TFTC

Out & about finding a few less loved cache types, we diverted off from the plan in search of some big ships... We were not too far from this cache, so decided to take a bit of a walk & find this cache whilst there We nearly got blown away by the ferocious wind, but persisted & after a few minutes of searching DangerMouse09 made the find of the sneaky Camo!

Thanks for the top cache way-finder

Went out to Cott for a catch up with a few friends of 'the other' game. After stopping in at Leighton for a quick dip, I decided to nab a few caches around the Rous Head area.

I haven't ever been out to this area, and found it really peaceful and nice. Accurate coordinates made for a quick and easy find, which as always was appreciated. The camouflage was terrific and well executed. SL.

Cheers way-finder, have a favourite point for your efforts!

Didn't have time and I think it's blocked off

#633 ~ Sneaky hide found with Krossbo by torch light The cover of darkness always makes for an interesting hunt

Great Hide. Even muggles after dark so Muddtrax was a diversion while returning the cache to its right hidey hole. TFTC

Visited this when I was here last year. This time MrsH tagged along. The race was on then to be the one that found it. Which fortunately was me.
Liked sitting there watching the boats go by. Fav for hide

Blue sky - great location - TFTC

Couldn’t resist coming out for an explore and to accept the challenge. It took a few minutes searching while also waving to the passing water traffic, but the perfectly placed hide eventually revealed itself. All in good condition. A great excuse to explore out here!
