Found during my walk in this area. Thank you for the nice cache and greetings from Slovakia.

Great cache! I was on my way to Fremantle to watch a French movie so I made a brief detour to check GZ and hopefully get a smiley. I had come around last Saturday morning and spotted the cache, but the beach was much too busy to attempt retrieval - no such problem tonight. Thank you for the cache way-finder.
Found this with RPrincess and Kooksta after a pizza at the bar Great day for the beach and geocaching Unfortunately we found this cache out in the open and put it back where we thought it was meant to be. Great container/camo

I would be embarrassed about the number of times I visited a GZ in London with the same sort of container as this. Once discovered never forgotten.
Down in Freo with the geokiddies today. I ducked up and grabbed this one once a wedding finished on the beach. Signed log TFTC
Found this clever special cache today and signed the log which is dry and clean. Thanks for this one.
A very clever cache that took us a while to find. Read back on the previous logs and then had a wow moment. TFTC and for bringing us to this lovely place. A fave from us.
Nice cache in a beautiful location! We were so sure we knew what it would be but it turned out to be something entirely different. Definitely a favourite from us.
Originally found under family caching name clan - wallace now branching out under own caching name
Even though I was expecting something like this, it still deserves a favourite point. Very creative well done & thank you.
Stumbled around for a bit then an a ha moment reading logs. Clever camo and a beautiful spot. Very windy today. TFTC
Easy to find when you are familiar with this style of cache. Great spot for a geocache, Thanks way-finder.
Very sneeky hide! Took us a while to work it out! Tftc!

We're enjoying our trip to this part of north Fremantle this afternoon. This one requires a lot of stealth!!

We had a bit of an idea of what this might be so headed over. We soon got to GZ and spotted the hide immediately and was not disappointed at all in the hide. We completed the signing duties and re hid TFTC.

Really did love this. So simple but so effective and totally unexpected at that location. A fav for us too! TFTC!
Excellent cache! Great example to show newbies what is possible. Having read up on the logs and the description I was able to guess what the cache might look like and I was almost right - close enough to find it straight away. Great views from the "point" up and down the coast today, and no gale force winds. TFTC! Have a favourite!
Holy crap! It was so windy but we persisted out to the point anyway. We were on the verge of giving up due to the sandblasting we were receiving, but I checked the hint again and had a brainwave. Cache in hand and we legged it back to the car!
Hi cachers,
Exclamation Point cache is back. Still a bit tricky, but some say it's an easy find. You decide.

Sorry cachers. The container has gone walk-about again. It will be replaces asap. way-finder
Catche was found on the floor not in usual spot as when came with friends who have found this before
Back in Perth for a week. Found early morning before heading to work. This one just didn't want to be added to my list of finds. I have attempted this before and had a DNF. Today after some searching, I read the information in the cache and it finally clicked. I now had the hide sighted but couldn't make the grab as there was a truck parked nearby who had full vision of what I was doing. After waiting 10 minutes, I decided to leave, find some other caches and come back. As I was driving away, the truck departed so I decided to quickly go and sign the log. As I pulled up again, a lone walker decided that it was a good morning to stand right next to the hide and enjoy the views. SO off I went to find some other caches. I returned about 40 minutes later and finally was able to sign the log. Thanks way-finder
Groan. Thought we would have to return when it was too cold for sunbathers. Curiosity however had us stumbling on find in seconds.
A nice day caching around Cogee and Freo.
Quick find using the hint from previous logs. TFTH

What a laugh! We spent 30mins to no avail. Left to go do another cache in this series down the road and came back for one last look.
Juuust about to give up when WOW WE FOJND IT!!!
Wish I'd taken note of the name of this cache earlier haha.
Awesome finds today thanks so much. Hope you continue to keep hiding caches. These were def the most interesting yet.

Our most Western Cache. Found while in Perth for 12 hours on our way to a nearby Lebanese Restaurant. TFTC.

Cachers. Sorry the replacement for this cache is taking longer than anticipated. I am OS and will return and replace the cache by the end of March, 2015. Patience will be rewarded.

Have been working down the freo area and grabbing a few hides for the past couple of weeks. Just haven't had a chance to log due to equipment failure.
Spent a while searching before reading the clue, then spent way to much time searching until having the brain click into gear
Tftc
Had a fav point for the camo

This is the third for the morning. I have walked over from Freo to do this. It is a very nice walk over the bridge to get here. There are a lot of sea kayakers out (I can't kayak... canoe?). This was quite a quick find as I was challenged with a similar hide recently. The log is a bit damp. TFTC.
Wow. TFTC great find nice hiding spot. I feel so dumb after looking for it for ages.
Decided to have an extended lunchtime cache session down this way, this was my third stop. Quick find once at GZ. Great view of Rotto and some boarders .. good weather for it. TFTC.
Nice day for a walk on beach with geokids. Forgot to bring pen so took a photo. TFTH
Between meetings today, I had some time to kill and with a streak of icons on the satnav, I told my colleagues I was going to have a look. In the company of new caching recruit CMcGhie, we spent a little while scanning the area, but missed the container. Sticking to the terrain level, we may have not been in the right location, but we weren't going down "there" in business clothes. Not that it mattered, CMcGhie got all dirty only a minute or so later anyway... I should have sent him back in for another go after that...
Hopefully I will get back to the West sometime soon and give this one another go.

I've been looking forward to a hide like this and was rewarded after a little searching. found before leeuwinbybike
Found on my second attempt! Staring vaguely out at sea.... Then suddenly clicked where it was. Great camo, haven't seen one like this before, so quite impressed. Tftc!
Unbelievable that it's a perfect beach day in the middle of April. More unbelievable that I finally nailed this one on about my 6th try. Didn't have a pencil this time so couldn't sign the well-hidden log. I am amazed!
Little rocky walk to GZ look around and found something that tweaked my interest, very sneaky hide way-finder well done and thanks for this spot.
I looked for a fair while without success. After caching for most of the day, the heat was starting to get the better of me. Will return another time to attempt.
Looked with two daughters. A windy day at the beach made things a bit more challenging and sadly have to post a DNF! Will try the one down the road
Stunning cache, so well done.
I came by with three kids of a muggle friend of mine that I introduced to caching some six months ago. The highlight of my work visit to Perth was to once again go caching with them. After working and finding a nearby puzzle we looked for another nearby cache. I wanted to peak the interest for the kids, so was wary when it had a higher difficulty rating. Nothing would bore children more than a fruitless search for a rock in a rock wall. I was so happy when we worked out what the cache actually was. I suggested one of the kids go over and try 'that', and the wonder in their eyes when they realised it was the cache was truly memorable. These kids were hooked more than before!!!
We signed the log and returned it with the kids eager for more...'lets do another one!!! Pleassssssse!
Thanks for a great hide. Nicely put together - it was only after on the way home I realised the name of the cache!
Apparently, as we were leaving, a few of the team managed to chat with a fellow cacher who was also looking for the cache. Our apologies if we gave the location away for you!

Beach closed due to shark sighting so trekked up the beach with kids. Five kids aged 7 to 12 and no luck! Hadn't taken enough notice of title and hints methinks. Thanks for the challenge way-finder.
Spent today sight seeing along the coast, from Freo to Cottesloe. Great views.
After a quick scan of the area, the cache was found.
Thanks for the hunt today, way-finder.

On the way home from down south, decided to leave the freeway which had turned into a carpark.
A dismal windy day today, unusual for Spring, kept the muggles away, so I took the shoes off and rolled up the jeans.
Luckily there was no one around to see this 60 yo woman clambering over the rocks.
Finding was reasonably easy, on a hunch.... Log signed, I looked at the rocks on decided that descent was more scary than ascent so I walked over the sand dune, down to the beach and back to the GeoJazz.

My second find of this kind in about 5 caches, and an easy one at that. Except for the wind. Virtually leaning into the wind while walking to this one. The seas were fairly heavy.

Nice hide, which was made quite easy by the hint and name of the cache. Great place to keep an eye on the surf. This was my find number 18 of 30 on my epic bike ride around the northern suburbs. TFTC
Well placed. We could see evidence of storm surge and wondered at first if the cache could have been washed away. Nope...no chance. This one was very safe where its placed.
The clue made more sense after we found the cache....how dumb are we.
Thanks for an interesting cache.

Found @ 10:16!
Find #03 on a caching day on foot in North Fremantle to Cottesloe!
Spotted this cache immediately on arrival, but that is probably nothing worth exclaiming!
Another cunning cache - each one around here seems to be completely different!
Sat on the old wall to take a few photos of the old sailing ship travelling in front of the cargo vessels...
On the way back I ended up getting my shoes and feet soaked! I knew I should've taken them off before stepping on the beach... Unfortunately, this (combined with the sand) resulted in me getting numerous sores and blisters by the afternoon!
