Logs
Previous logs said it was high up in the second tree but if its still there then it is too high for the average person because I searched every nook in reach and even got a little stool from the car to stand on and still couldn't find it.
Happy to find this one after a previous DNF
CO ORDS r a bit out but found it thanks to previous logs
Thanks for cache

3 shorties trying to find this one, h&a to get the bin for height. Lucky someone else wrote a good clue as GPS was playing up.
We very much enjoyed our walk through Perth's streets. This is a nice cache in a good location!
DNF. The cache could be mugged after I searched it for a little while until I read a recent log then I moved on to other caches.
Hi,
Me and my friend Brad went on a small caching tour when Phoung went shopping. Brad has never done this before so it was also an introduction to him. We searched and searched for the first cache in Forrest Park but didn't find it. Think we spent 30 minutes there and I saw in my friends face a glimpse of wonder. Agreed that we should go for next one in another park nearby. Second one we found after a rather quick search.
For the third one we came across a beautifully painted car which we though was that cache, they issue could be to find the logbook. In Sweden we have large caches in size of cars and even mini-summerhouses and it can be difficult to find the logbook in these large caches when you are inside. Finally the painted car was not the right position and the compass directed us to a closeby location and we searched and searched, even turned some items on the ground upside down and no results. Devious one and we was almost gave up when Brad said "what is this, can it be this one ?" Yes, of course I answered and there it was. Brad was so happy about his first real find and maybe he will start this sport.

Surprised my height (or lack thereof!) wasn't an issue! Found with my muggle mate Biff whilst wandering the area. Beautiful trees and so cool in their shade, lovely grassed oval too.
Stopped here after attending an event at Hyde Park and looking for other caches nearby. We were happy to make the find after reading previous logs. TFTC col117!
I remember this area well from my last job as a casual lecturer at the TAFE down the road. M4yb made the quick find here thanks to the past logs giving some more direction.
Thanks col117
Thanks col117
We think this one has gone walkabout . We looked for ages and couldn't see it
Previously a DNF , gave the 2nd tree a quick look and found it cords are off a bit TFTC
After hunting through the wrong tree move to another for an easy find TFTC
Our first find on a sunny afternoon after having a nice burger nearby for lunch. Thanks col117.
Mr ILT was driving past after an appointment in the area and decided to call in for another try at this cache.
Very strange. There is no way that this cache was here last time we looked! What we found was a newish mint tin with a few scraps of paper in it with a couple of names scribbled onto it. Hope all is well, thanks for the cache col117.

Yes you are right it was the other tree. A find always puts one in a good mood to face the day ahead. Thanks for the hide.
First find for spring!! Took a few minutes but eventually found it in the other tree. TFTC.
Needs checking out, I should have looked at the logs before turning up.. Seems like a easy find location but I couldn't find the thing either
Where is it???!!! Easy for kids???... Was with my daughter.... She didn't find it neither....
Looked high and low. Looks like the last few people haven't found it either. We'll search again soon
We have a little bit of experience behind us but still it seems, we are the only people in the Perth caching community who could not find this cache.
Embarrassment

Decided I wouldn't "chase ball" today, instead sniffed out a cache ....TFTC...I got it
Stayed in to watch the Geocaching segment on Today Tonight, then headed out, on a night run.
Picked up a few on the Roe Hwy, then headed into the big city.
Found a good variety of hides and caches, all well hidden.
Thanks for a great night out, col117, beats watching TV every time.

In the area for business and on finishing, decided to have a look around for nearby caches to pick up # 14 for the August Challenge.
I did live around this area about 16 years ago and remeber running around this park with my dog many a time.
Cache was quick to find as it was in view. Signed log and returned with a little more camo as I feel it is at risk of being muggled.
(Also to CO, there are several logs that are full, may need a little maintenance.

Very handy that the spot where the cache was also gave me a bit of shelter from a sudden cloudburst. Signed one of the scraps of paper in there. TFTC!
Out with skippy 46 for a day of caching. The weather was kind to us and we managed to not get wet and all. We found 22 caches with no DNFS so we had a very successful day. A quick find, log book needs replacing TFTC the robots
Out for a successful day of caching with OOH YEH, with 22 finds and 0 dnf's in an area that is new to me for caching.
A quick find in a lovely old gnarly tree.

Grabbing some caches North of the River today. It has been a while since I was last up here, so really nice to have a day like today to grab these caches
[:o)]
Once I worked out the tree, a walk around it, and then the cache was found. The log is a series of paper scraps and probably needs replacing
Thanks for the cache . [^]
This is my find number 2362

GSAGC #237. Having vainly searched for 2 nearby Prankster caches, I was desperate for a find to keep my consecutive caching days rolling. Spent far too long on this but was determined to find it. Persistence finally paid off TFTH.

Found @ 15:35!
Quick find today after a meeting with a lawyer!
A few muggles were present in the park on arrival, but the rain came and they disappeared quickly!
Had a walk round the likely hide and spotted the cache quickly.
Lots of isolated log sheets, so signed the largest one, which is still blank on one side.
TFTC!

Finally found this, after months of wandering by only to see the park full of muggles!
Nice quick find today, had to wait a few minutes to get the cache back into it's hide hole due to muggles on exercise equipment. TFTC.
Not so easy in the dark..cops pulled us up..thought we were burglars..
Explained the concept..
"Ok, no worries!"
Cool to see the lists..left gym miners hip discounts to BCF.
Enjoy

Had a medical appointment in Mt Lawley, so I asked Mrs luna maya to do a pocket query for the area. She didn't, so I had to put up with a cache already loaded which was a kilometer walk! Easy find really, nice, now to find the next one loaded, hmm another 1.2 kilometers away, an Allied pranksters, so bound to be difficult. Damn it is hot today!
thanks guys..........
thanks guys..........
Quite a few muggles enjoying the afternoon.. Made for a difficult retrieval and replacement on what was a quick find. TFTH
Nice easy find, but had to choose my opportunity carefully due to heavy muggle flow. Tftc
My gps was way out and I was worried I'd be searching lots of trees but found it quickly.
Second early morning find.
Grabbed it quick but where did all those dog walkers come from when I went to return ?
Had to sit in the car pretending to work to make the hide again.
Took the coin for further travels up north but didn't have anything small enough to replace with.
Nice hide.

Visited this Geocache and dropped off the geocoin that I found in Whangamata New Zealand. Before dropping the coin we took it for a visit to Kings Park in Perth.
A nice easy find although it took me a few moments to locate the correct log sheet from inside the cache.
TFTC col117!!

My first geocache experience in Perth. Close to home lots of muggles and dogs in the park made it a bit tricky. What a great hiding place! Nice easy find, I like that and the only thing was I didn't have my pen with me to sign the log. I'll pop back and do it.
Fun [:)
