Quick find, surreptitiously avoiding muggles. Found with Skyebomonkeytown.
 
29-Aug-15
Counted the steps on the way up in case, turned out it wasn't required. By the time I got to the top, the cache was in the hands of MMH&M! A quick sign as the rain started to spit, it took us longer to replace especially considering all the passing exercisers- a very busy place on a Saturday morning!

In Perth for a few days and we were in this area today. Not many people around here when we arrived so we were in luck to be able to retrieve the cache with no one else around. Signed log & replaced as found. TFTC Smile

First this beautiful park and the cache Smile

Had to get pretty high up to find it, the years of training using the stairmaster9000 paid off for sure. It's a little cheeky cache but the views are worth it.
 
28-Jul-15
In Perth to visit the gardens today and took in a little time to enjoy the climb and the views, even though the weather wasn't the greatest. My 10 year old geo son made the find with this one and we had the area to ourselves to sign the log and grab a couple of pics. Thanks FelixII for the hide, nice work, great spot for a cache too!
 
26-Jul-15
Our first one in Australia ! Tftc Smile

This was the best fun one today, mainly because 18 months ago I could not have climbed it. And the view from the top was superb. The hardest part though was the number of people taking advantage of the beautiful sunny day, it was ages before I could surreptitiously remove the cache, sign the log, and put the cache in my pocket until the next lot of muggles left and I could replace it.
 
24-Jul-15
Quite a long walk up the steps, and the tower wobbles a bit. Nice cache. Found with Sascha and Theo.

Found it on a great sunny day walking in Kings Park. Have climbed this tower many times in the past when visiting from Darwin but only discovered Geocaching late in 2014. Fantastic location for a cache a favourite for us. Razz TFTC

Had this one on the too do list as it had been muggled last time we were here. There were a few people but we struck it lucky as the approaching rain was sending people away and we managed to retrieve and log, before it poured down. Found with the Fabulous Panda. TFTC ☺

Braved the on coming rain to attempt this one for the second time. Happy to find the cache and log the find! Awesome hiding place! Found with Minergal TFTC

Wow, what a day! Smile A souvenir day and this is my closest and not done, even with m4yb who is not scarred of heights and when she found it I think I was still a muggle!!

Buoyed by recent finds and discussion on the new log etc, I thought well today should be pretty muggle free, being inclement weather and good chance of rain, so off I set.

On arrival at GZ I was not disappointed with not a soul in sight, so a few deep breaths and a little talk to myself, saying "This has been climbed by thousands of people, so what could go wrong" So I start the climb and glad to notice some pull ins at regular spots but then I start to get that sickly turn in the stomach and lots of butterflies of doubt, but I pushed on and not even that out of breath. So my exercise regime must be starting to pay dividends and I make it to the top to see a Kings Park Board ute pull up in the car park WAY DOWN there below me, the feeling returns and before I have managed to even look for the hiding spot he is at the top and asks if I am OK, so we have a little discussion about my acrophobia. He was very nice and did tell me it sways a bit when a lot of people are doing their workouts, I am quite relieved that non today .

He departs making sure I am OK for the decent when other muggles arrive and I am now seated on the deck with cache in hand so have to explain, but they had disappeared to be replaced by a group of tourists from India, who were generally very interested about Geocaching and after I had given them the web address and shown them the cache and log, one of them took some photos for me. So I left them to it and started the decent, easier than I was expecting and the sigh of relief was almost an anticlimax, so I am curing my Acrophobia, wish I could award more than one fav but 1 it has to be.

Thanks FelixII for this great hide.

Hard walk up the stairs carrying a young child, but quick find when there. It was busy on the weekend, so we had to be secretive putting it back, which the kids are good at!

Lovely evening stroll. Tftc

We signed the logbook. Warning this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise.

My last day in Perth so after a lovely breakfast at "The Tuck Shop Cafe" in Northbridge drove up to Kings Park with my muggle friend to find this cache.

The Coords and image on map view showed GZ at ground level a few meters away from the structure but clue and logic said it should be elsewhere.

A nice easy climb helped to work off the extra side of bacon I had earlier and a quick find. Had to run back down as I left the pen in the car so that helped with the second cappuccino I indulged in.

In all a nice spot for a cache and a good hiding spot. Thanks for bringing us here.

Cheers
