There are too many bees, was not keen to go rummaging in the bush and risk getting stung.
Checked cache again today. It is still in place and awaiting next visitor. Hedge has grown so feeling for the magnetic mint tin is recommended
Had to leave this one after looking for about five minutes and a muggle in overlooking house coming out to water garden. It was too exposed for me to continue my search. Oh well.. Another time. Tfth
With the weather being considerably better than yesterday, the decision was made to head out in search of a few caches. An enjoyable afternoon was had as we made our way through the western suburbs and unless otherwise stated, all caches were found in good condition.

We must be hungry because we came up empty handed. Disappointing and not without trying. Was meant to be the last one for the kids, after a great run of finds, before heading home. We found this super hard, luckily the playground was here to keep them entertained while we continued the search. Have to leave this one for another day.
Find 4 of 17 with two DNFs on a bike ride through Manning, Salter Point and Waterford to one of our usual lunch stops at Lo Quay, Fern Park then back again. Beautifully crisp winter weather today and most of the time the river was twinkling and flat as a pancake.
Second visit as it was missing last time. Quick find today. Thanks for replacing and TFTC jacaro44!

Hard to find, girlfriend gave up but I was persistent!! If it wasn’t for other finders comments, wouldn’t have found! Thank you great grandma!
Took a little bit of feeling around but eventually found it. Cache is well hidden and safe. TFTC!
Took a few minutes we knew where it would be just took time to locate. Thanks for the cache
Out and about with Geodog today. I too started on the wrong side, followed the GPS and soon had the cache in hand.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Found a clue in a previous log which made things considerably easier. TFTC jacaro44.
Today we ride with our bicycles arround the Canning River.
It was not too busy and so we had time to search.
Here we are able to find the contaiber after a while.
Thank you and greetings from Germany

This cache took a lot of searching. Our search took the interest of a council gardener so we had to explain what were up to. Surprisingly he said he hadn’t heard of geocaching before heading off on his way.
Thanks for taking us to this pretty little park. This one took bit of a search.
Was down this way and decided to see if there were any caches nearby. Luckily it was nice and quiet so I quickly had the cache in hand. Tftc!
Coordinates very good. Glad it was not on the side the kids are. We never like playground caches.
Lovely Park in the middle of a nice suburb.

Not finding the cache does not mean that it is not there.

A nice little park being disturbed today by tree loppers and the noisiest equipment. After starting on the wrong side I soon had the cache in hand. TFTC
Got wet and cold but no cache. Found a mint-tin sized magnet with glue residue on which may have been the thing keeping it in place? Thanks for the hide!
Organised a day off work to go geocaching in duck country along with the Machman.
Another great day enjoying some very well hidden creations from Duck43 followed by some puzzles we'd recently solved. Great weather to be out and about.
Quick find while in the area. TFTC

Trying to clean up this area and put some more smiley faces around. Glad to say that this was a quick find tftc
Tricky to find gps misleading and hard with the bushes covering but team DK found it!
Well why was that so difficult the last time we looked for it! Easy find today....go figure TFTC
Our son had an appointment at the Uni this morning. What better way to fill in a morning than to grab some of the smileys on offer in the area, cheers and TFTC.

Great to see Valoforce making the find which prompted us to pop down for another wee look. Nice little park here jacaro44 so thanks for setting this one up and maintaining it. All good here.
Nice quick find here in this beautiful park today. Momentarily came at it from the wrong side but once we corrected that it was in hand in a minute. Beautiful day for caching this Easter Long Weekend. TFTC!
Hard to get eyes on this one. Tried reaching from different angles. Might be an advantage to take a small human with you.
No luck at all and the likely spot seemed a bit too difficult to access with the bushes growing fairly thickly.
Our first go at geocaching and we DNF. Disappointing for my 8 yr old especially as this was an easy one.
Found by Mary & David at 1550. This took us far too long, but our indicated GZ took us to the wrong side. Once we gave up there, and relocated our search, we had the cache in hand in no time. A FP for the lovely park, the local real estate, and the echidna egg. Our thanks to jacaro44.
Very creative. Little hint left us feeling it had been taken. However a quick feel around helped us locate it!! So much fun for a first hunt!
After a coffee catch up with my sister I needed a find to keep my mini streak alive and was able to stop here and get the quick find.
I retreated to a nearby gazebo for signing duties before replace everything as found and starting the journey home. TFTC.

Was wary as to whether itd be around or not having nit been found for a few months. Was very pleased when i laid my hands on it.
Wasnt too hard to find, co-ords accurate.

Found it. TFTC jacaro44. Had to use cache radar, GPS sending me all over the place.
Quick and easy find even though the sun isn't up yet the street light and feel were enough. Tftc
howdy fellow cachingers!! hooooly dooooly did this one throw a spanner in my works, had us looking on the wrong side originally but after changing our perspective the cache was quickly sighted by my trusty partner in geocaching. TFTC until next time folks
Out for a caching afternoon and decided to start here. A nice easy find. TFTC jacaro44.
Finished work early on yet another stinkin hot day and thought id take the opportunity to grab a few caches in the area. Had no problems with this one! TFTC
Went to find this one when I was in the area. Located where I was supposed to be looking for it, but between having to retreat a few times due to random people cycling, walking, neighbors leaving or going outside, I still managed to have what I thought was an alright look and unfortunately nothing was found.
Out caching with Lazarus68. Wandered up to the playground area and figured that the other side would make a more sensible approach to the situation, So walked around and quickly had the cache in hand. Thanks jacar044 for the cache in this nice little park.
Can't believe that this was harder to find than the two Duck 43's we found on the river.
Stopped at the park to find first cache for the morning before heading down to the river to try and find some more. Thanks for the cache.
Found by Lil Geo-NinjaKid! Muggles around as a family was walking across the road for a Father's Day picnic in the park. A quick entry into log and back to its spot. TFTC!
Found myself in the Salter Point/Manning area this afternoon so decided to track down some of the local unfound caches. Had a good strike rate in the twenty or so minutes that I had spare, three from three.
Had a go at this one previously but there were too many little muggles close by to conduct a proper search. The coast was clear today so I knuckled down to the task at hand. After about five minutes I was running short of time and had decided to give the game away when I checked one last spot and was stoked to have my hand on the cache.
Turns out I was making it much more difficult than it should have been.
jacaro44 I found your cache at 5:22pm, this was the 3rd of 3 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2152. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.
