Will have a think on this. Very sad to let it go but looks like we will have to archive! [:(!]
Visiting from Canberra we climbed the Helix and had the place to ourselves. Felt around then got down and looked up but still came up empty.
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!
TFTC. It was pushed a long way up, had to get the tyre widgit from the car.
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
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.
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!
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.
Quite a long walk up the steps, and the tower wobbles a bit. Nice cache. Found with Sascha and Theo.
Found at 20:18. A really neat hide, a good reward after my walk across the park in the dark.
Thanks FelixII
Thanks FelixII
Found and signed with peteprobst, TFTC. Found despite school group climbing up and down.
Found and signed, thank you. Even with school group going up and down. With suJUjo.
With gpatt and duggalup. A quick find once I had eventually made it to the top. gpatt made it down in double quick time, impressive as she couldn't look down! TFTC

Visited today with Lindylou and Duggalup. TFTC. Nice view but didn't stay up there long, too high for me
Forgot the writing stick and mass amount of muggles. However felt wherebit wqs and decided to leave therebwithout pulling out to keep hidden. Great view
On a day trip to Kings Park and we needed a cache with at least 10 favourite points to earn the souvenir. A great cache in a great location. Thanks Felix
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. TFTC
My four year old found this - school holidays strikes again. I have looked before and not found it!! Tftc! Beautiful views.
Found at night - aargh no pen!
Hope a pic suffices as I'm on my way back east on the redeye!

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! 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!
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.

Didn't take long to find, took much much longer to replace back to its hiding spot. Beautiful view in the lovely sun.

Had a look, and it seems to have been taken (have found this one with other Catchers before)
Stumbled into the vicinity of this one, but still was guided to a beautiful view and treasure. Thank you! 1235
Found but no pen to hand... Should have read cache notes before the climb... TFTC anyway
Easy find and log however putting back was tricky as more people entered the scene. Sneaky return and back down the 101 stairs! TFTC!
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

Beautiful spot to share with our two kids...the place were my husband and I shared our first kiss 10 years ago - TFTH
Our last visit to Kings Park before flying homewards this afternoon. Not so busy at the top so made an easy find - last one on this trip "downunder". Thanks for many happy memories.
Visited this Cache together with Apfelsine during our Holidays in Australia while exploring Perth.
The right spot was clear soon, but what masses of muggles today... finally could find it
Thanks for this hide and cheers from Germany!
