Tried earlier today, but way to many muggle entering and exiting the establishment. Came back after dinner and spent a couple of minutes ferriting around. Cache in hand soon enough. TFTC
Tried to pick up this one when passing through to Pinjarra but unable to track it down. Spent quite a while looking. Hope it is still there.
Came into town with the intention of doing some Christmas shopping, but as usual, got sidetracked by the geotracking bug and ended up at the public library instead. Too many muggles about to do a thorough search though. Will have to come back another time...
Now that us Geokids are on school holidays, we went to the library so that we would have something to do that would not involve Geoparents(i.e: geocaching). We never thought about this cache until we arrived, and after using some stealth techniques whilst getting the GPS ready, Geosister found straight away.
On a Sunday "clean up" run to find as any of the close to home caches I had yet to find. This was the first of 9 smilies of possible 12.
This was my third attempt at this one due to a combination of muggles and time constraints preventing earlier finds. Took a while to find it as my GPS had me out by about 5m. Eventually stood back and had one last think and one last place to explore and there it was.
Thanks for the cache Inukshul63, this completes this series for me - finally

I was about to give up as the steady flow of muggles made searching very difficult. But a gut feeling told me to check something a few metres away from where my GPS was saying and a break in the people traffic allowed a snatch of the cache. Waited for a second lull to return the cache. Mission accomplished. TFTC.
Found in the first place we tried, thank goodness, because we did not want to search certain other places! Like the series TFTC
In between muggles coming and going from this community facility, we searched all around GZ for this cache but without success. We were back in the car ready to move on when one last idea came to mind. We checked it out but no luck. Then another light-bulb moment and the cache was in hand. This should have been much easier than what we made it. A good hide. TFTC Inukshuk63
Took us a little while, thought my ipad was out... Nope trust the ipad spot on. Again with moyley.
Successful find with lou&tam!
Quick note with this one: We found the paper a little moist - Might want to keep it away from moisture..
Easy on a Sunday - Who visits a library on a Sunday?

Muggles were EVERYWHERE!
I guess it is the weather for curling up be a fire and reading a book.
We had to look inconspicous in the rain...

Another quick search and we had this one in hand. Signed the log. This is our 700th cache. TFTH
This is a favourite stomping ground of mine. Had to outwait quite a few muggles to replace this one. Thanks for the hunt Inukshuk63.
Found tonight while out with Pop up Pirates. She walked right up to it. We got our geo-sense back!

I was originally planning to leave this series until the rest of wileyclan were with me, but today I had some free time and there were all these unfound caches winking at me from the GPSr so I just HAD to stop. I wandered by GZ to start with to suss out the general location. It was rather clear where the cache should be so I waited until no muggles were around and made a quick grab. The hard part was putting the cache back, an eldery (Nana?) muggle walked out of the library, sat in her car right in front of GZ ad started to read the books she had just borrowed. I was about to pack it in and return the cache at a later time when she eventually moved on and I could drop it off and get out of there.
Thanks for the cache Inukshuk63

Another straight forward find in the series. Just got to be wary of Nannas near the nano! All good this arvo though. TFTC
Out with Chwiliwr and FelixII today on a caching run through Mandurah.
Made a quick and easy find at GZ.

Came down to Mandurah today with FelixII and the Machman and soon found the nano between muggles on their way into the library.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
A caching run was on the cards for The Machman and FelixII today. We were to head to Rockingham with our hit list but after the car being broken into yesterday decided to head down and check likely dump sites and bins just hoping to find some of our stuff. Enlisted The Machman and Chwiliwr to help in the search and a full day's caching. This was a cache that none of us had done so was a definite starter for our lineup today. TFTC Inukshuk63
I had to drop the wife a work this morning, noting that this caches are close to a spot to grab a coffee, I grabbed this one before heading to the coffee supply and the other nearby cache. Lots of mozzies this early in the morning. Thanks Inukshuk63, will get the rest of the series soon. SL TNLN TFTH
More memories for us as Ian grew up in Mandurah and we lived here for many years before moving to Karratha in the 90's - so much has changed.
A nice easy find - thanks

Found it in the first spot we looked at, however it was the second time we came back to this spot as we didn't see it the first time. The cache had become dislodged and after looking at other possible locations we came back to the first place we looked and after a few minutes of thorough searching found the little blighter in the vegetation.
Another ftf with belnoaks woo hoo. Liked this one. Not where first though. lots of mozzies. tftf
A shared FTF with Mybabies. A nice easy one just on dark, as the mozzies were attacking! Signed log and replaced, Thanks for the hunt
While celebrating my new arrival of my third grandchild I got to stay at Silver Sands resort. What a beautiful place Mandurah is and looked forward to doing some caching to. No joy in this one though this time, I hope to return later in the year to give it another go.
