DNF, ran out of light. Used a stick to scratch around in the place where I thought it would be and no luck, checked the dirt at the base in case it fell down too :/
Another day of building numbers, the cache container and log will need to be replaced as the lid is missing, log is damp and full, we signed over older logs TFTC
TFTF nice quick one near my area.
Cache log is full and needs replacing, also could do with a new container.

Nice easy find. Cache has no lid and log is pretty much full. Needs a bit of tlc. Tftc
A quick grab close to home. The cache needs a little lovin'; the container is broken and the logbook is full.
NTech, I found your cache ETech's Grassy Cache dry, but without lid 
. SL and replaced cache as found. Thank you for taking me here and TFTH. Image shows: Facing east-southeast from pedestrian bridge over Mitchell Fwy.

Unusual hiding spot! It took me a good 10 minutes to find the cache tonight on my way home from work. It would have been quite easy to miss it, but it seemed so obvious once I spotted it... The tin is a bit rusty and the lid is loose but the content is fine. Thank you for the cache NTech.
TFTC watch out for the nearby beehive in the tree! Also no more writing sticks in the cache 
Found it while walking the dog. Had to clear out a mass of spider webs to get to it
The better half found it while out on the geo-bike. Nice little park, hint helped a lot. TFTH
Found it. TFTC. If you look in the right direction its in full view. Nice little park
Nice hidy spot- swapped Dino for cracker whistle. Thanks! So want to make our own for Broome
My first Australian cache!
I've been to Aus before, but it was prior to my starting geocaching and of course I'm now lamenting the lost opportunities of finding caches in Darwin and Alice. But thankfully, I was to return to Perth and here I am finding my first one.
I'm staying with family in MacAulay Ave and as soon as I booked the flights I was checking out the nearest caches to 'home', so I could pick one up straight away. This was the one, just across the freeway that I knew I could go to first. I cache with an android phone and don't yet have a data allowance for over here so for the first time was relying on offline caching using the c:geo app. It worked, well enough for me to place my hands on it pretty much straight away. I was surprised to find a little dino in there, but as I had no swag to exchange and thought someone else might like it a little bit more than me, I said hello to it and left it there for the next cacher to find.
So this was the first of, what I hope to be, many. I really enjoyed the little stroll across the bridge and GZ. Thanks for the cache, happy caching to all!!
p.s. I've dipped Eye Eye London, who wants to visit a few cities - I aim to get him closer to Perth and over to Sydney while I'm here. I've also dipped Thomas the Tank Engine who really appreciated seeing the train tracks as we went over the bridge but was sad to not see any actual trains. I will be taking him to Greenwood Station soon and we'll tour some caches along the tracks.

Visiting relatives for a few days but took time to grab this very close cache. A relatively quick find and after signing duties were done, I replaced cache in its hidey hole. TFTC SL
Found inside a bag of rubbish at GZ - go figure! Replaced with more appropriate camo. TFTC 
Overlooked this one for quite sometime but met up with ask277 and thankfully he pointed us in the right direction as he had found this one earlier! Not what we were expecting to find! TFTC
TFTC Out and about with robroy_co. What a frustrating time we had!! Fortunately ask277 was in the area and he pointed us in the right direction
This was to be our last cache for the night before we headed back home. We brushed over this cache the first time we looked but on the second glance realised this was actually the cache we were after. Quickly signed the log and then back across the bridge before returning home. tftc.
My first find! Was reasonably well hidden, and the hint was well written. TFTC!
TFTC! Picked up this cache on a geo run with Jacobs Crew. We started off the day chasing some FTF's that had dropped earlier in the morning before heading NOR to cleanup a number of hides. Was a great day out with good company, made about 50 finds for the day which was great. Thanks
Spend the day with Branzy12, picking up some caches in the area, The GPS was pointing over the fence but we realise it had to be in the tree in the area...TFTC
[Blue]# 10166 Found on the WA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
Checking out the sights of Northern Perth on a cool winters day.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache NTech,

A morning's caching in this area with megawat60. Nice little spot. Megawat60 did was he was told (in the hint) and made the clever find. TFTC NTech!
Off and racing agin with m4yb up north, this time in the Greenwood/Duncraig area. I used the hint and surprisingly good accuracy of my iPhone today to make this find. Thanks NTech
It wasn't a very successful day today. Very easy find while on a morning caching run in order to beat the heat. TFTC
Found @ 12:44!
Find #07 on a caching run intended to clear up the NW area of my 5km walking radius!
An easy find, if you look in the right direction...!
Cache was very exposed with no cover, so added some after I returned the cache to the hide.

Came looking for this one, but there were a group of highly dodgy youths hanging around doing something I would rather not know about... so I will be back!!!!!
Second attempt to get this done, this time success. Original visit had me at different GZ.
Removed slimy log and contents of container and replaced with new dry log and bag. Hopefully a slight adjustment of how cache was laying will keep it better preserved. Will hold log for CO if want to collect. (Its a bit yucky tho! ) TFTC!

This one took a while to find. I checked all possible hiding spots and it was only until I worked through the second round of checks that I discovered the cache. Cheers NTech
[:(!] After church I went for an afternoon of caching, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked the rest of the way, on arrival at GZ and within minutes I had the cache in hand.

Fiona asked what we were looking for. I read the description and started reading the previous DNF logs and she says, "oh, here it is!" So, a quick find. TFTC!
Quick find with duncdonut73 and Fiona, who actually spotted it in the first place she looked. TFTC
Still did not find it with 4 of us looking this time, magpies were ok today but bees are still there so the cache must be somehow too ?
Was attacked by agro bees shortly into search so took the hint and escaped with a reluctant DNF.
Lots of people walking through this little park today. Luckily we found the cache quickly but unfortunately lost a bit of skin on the fence. SL TFTC
With a constant stream of caches being published in Kingsley, I keep being drawn back to this area. While out riding today I stopped by and found the cache within a minute. It's one of those caches where you swear it wasn't there last time. Nice and easy today which is what's important. Thanks for the cache NTech.
Found it after some searching. There is a exremeley smelly deposit nearby from what i assume was a dog, be careful not to step in it as you may have to cut your foot off.
Teamed up with iluvtrekking to complete at least half of Blingg's cycle path caches. This was a welcome detour from the pat. Although we had noted there had been several DNF's in the past, we didn't have a problem locating the well hidden cache.
Come back and have a good look - yep it was there all time - how come I didnt see last time oops... Hide by 6 years old excellent well done... Signed the log. Thanks NTech.
Another half hour search; no cache although I do believe you that it's present. I like purple but obviously don't think like a 6 yr old. Will give this one a miss because my searching is causing noticeable destruction at GZ.
I checked the cache after Everlasting's DNF and it was still there. I'll double-check this afternoon if I can.
Searched for at least 20minutes. Approached from every direction, including ESE but couldn't find a cache. Very poor caching afternoon for me.
