Thanks.

Quick find thanks to the hint! Tftc

Tftc ez really run although there were a lot of weird looks from people on the highway

TaurusSix and I had a number of targets to achieve this weekend. These required of us a trip to Perth. We had already found a few geocaches and an adlab in Fremantle. One of those target of which I speak is to find geocaches in three local government areas in which we have not previously have found a cache. With two down it was time for the last of the three. This cache was well within the area we seek and so was targeted next.The drive here was a little adventure, discovering some back roads due to not being able to make a right turn from our previous find. We finally made it to a place to safely park the car nearby this cache. A short walk later had us across the overpass and at GZ. We set about looking for the very small cache. We looked here and we looked there. The mirrors was out to use to aid the search, but we remained without a find. The hint was consulted and our focus was narrowed, but still no find. As a last resort we looked a little farther away and had eyes on the cache. It was extracted quickly and the log unrolled, and thereupon our marks were made in the ink of choice.Once the cache was resident again in its hiding place we departed the area heading towards our final cache of the day.Kbinup2005 deserves our thanks for the chance to find our first cache in this LGA.

Couldn't find it and spent ages looking. Didn't have a ladder which might have helped. No public artwork visible but bridge could have been painted recently.

Took a while but managed to find it soon.

We've had some really challenging cache hides this evening. This was quite a good, but straightforward find, I'm very pleased about that! Glad to have it found! Thanks for the cache!

A caching trip from Canberra, ACT to Cape York, Qld and then around the gulf to East Arnhem Land, NT then over the top of WA and down to Perth.Interesting detours to Thursday Island, Mabuiag Island, Mornington Island, Doomadgee, Hells Gate, Nhulunbuy, Wadeye, Litchfield National Park, Wyndham, the Gibb River Road, Monkey Mia, Meekatharra, Wiluna, Laverton, Warburton, Kargoorlie, Westonia, Goomalling, Kalannie, Jurien Bay & The Pinnacles.TFTC. Nice instructions for a quick find.

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 61 - Swan Valley Perth Day 6. It rained on and off all day today. I headed back to south of Perth to try for caches in two more counties. There were only six caches in Peppermint Grove and I only managed three of them. Next was Claremont. A lot more caches to choose from, but a few DNFs and then the rain really set in and I headed off for lunch and some shopping before heading home via two car crashes on the Reid Highway. More Counties tomorrow, but East this time. The school was running a sports carnival out on the oval, but only one person walked along here while I was looking. The hint may be clear, but the cache is tiny and I missed it and then there were quite a few other options, depending on how you may choose to count. Thanks for the cache .K.B.48049.4 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & November 2022 After Dark A#507**Albida**

Nice quick find by Guiness12. Always drive past here. TFTC

Great HideThanks .K.B. for the cacheJames0116Sunday2 Jun 20249:30:09AM AWST4651Please ignore the below unless you want to read a big rant about nanosOh, nano caches, you little perplexing creatures! How you manage to frustrate and challenge me at every turn is truly a marvel. I find myself both enamored and exasperated by your minuscule presence in the geocaching world. Your diminutive size may be your claim to fame, but its also the cause of my never-ending struggle to locate and conquer your hidden domains.Lets delve into the realm of your size, shall we? Nano caches, youre like the David of the geocaching universe, defying all odds with your small stature. But heres the thing: David had a giant to defeat, while you, nano caches, are the giants in disguise. You pack an incredible punch with your infinitesimal dimensions, testing the limits of my observation skills and pushing me to question the very nature of reality. How can something so small be so devilishly difficult to find? Its a perplexing paradox that keeps me coming back for more, even as I grumble in frustration.Ah, and lets not forget about your crafty hiding spots. Nano caches, youre the masters of disguise, the Houdinis of the geocaching world. You can be tucked away in the tiniest crevices, camouflaged amidst the natural environment, or cleverly concealed within everyday objects. Ive spent countless hours searching for you, only to realize that you were nestled right under my nose the entire time. Its a testament to your cunning and my occasional lack of perception. But dont worry, nano caches, Im determined to improve my geocaching detective skills and conquer your hidden lairs once and for all!Now, lets talk about the logbooksor should I say, the almost non-existent log snippets. Nano caches, youre not known for your spacious accommodations. Instead, you offer a mere fragment of paper, a token space for geocachers to leave their mark. Its like trying to squeeze an epic tale into a tweet, a monumental challenge in brevity. But hey, maybe thats the beauty of itforcing us to distill our geocaching experiences into concise snippets, like haikus of adventure.And lets not overlook the fragility of your petite existence. Nano caches, youre delicate creatures, delicate like a delicate thing delicately balanced on a delicate tightrope. Okay, maybe thats a bit too delicate, but you get the idea. Handling you requires the utmost care and precision, as one clumsy moment could result in irreversible damage. Its a dance of finesse, a delicate ballet between geocacher and cache, where even the slightest misstep could shatter the delicate equilibrium.So, dear nano caches, you perplexing enigmas, I both curse and embrace your existence. You challenge my skills, test my determination, and occasionally make me question my sanity. But amidst the frustration, theres an undeniable thrill, a sense of accomplishment when I finally conquer your microscopic challenges. So, heres to you, nano caches, for keeping geocaching interesting, for reminding us that adventure comes in all sizes, and for pushing us to explore the vast and tiny corners of the world.Thank you, .K.B., for the cache that sparked this rant. Your nano cache has ignited a flame within me, a desire to conquer the tiny kingdoms and unravel their mysteries. I appreciate the effort you put into creating an experience that simultaneously frustrates and delights. And to all the geocachers out there, whether you love or loathe the nano caches, remember that its the diversity of caches that keeps our geocaching journeys exciting and unpredictable.

Nice spot!! 3 days for find it

Found by Cottesloe venturer group, nice cache

Nice quick find. No 2 today on our visit to Perth and the SW.Set off to find nano without bringing a pen!!!!!. Hope the photo will suffice for proof of find.

Found it!!

I found it, not easy though keep looking, confirmed 16/5/2024

Try to find at the morning before it is too busy but no luck. Hint is very obvious.

Hint helped so much! Tftc

Always pleasing removing a blue stain tftc

Have driven past here many times but always during school hours and not wanting to loiter outside the gates left it on the to do pile.No such concerns this late at night.Took a couple of minutes for monkeywand to locate the container and as it was opened for signing the lid fell and bounced under the bridge.Took about 15 minutes to spot the lid and another 10 to finally get it back into hand, sign the log and replace as found. A Tuesday night out with monkeywand where we looped around the city starting In Hamilton Hill, heading across to Riverton, up to Shenton Park and the made our way along Stirling Hey.A good variety of caches were found and I collected 6 finds and 1 DNF. Thanks .K.B. for placing Mickeydv's Nano for me and others to find.I added my name to the log at 22:51 on 7/11/2023.This is find number 7807 for me.

Out and about with Cirrus_WA for another Tuesday night caching run. Easy initial find. Finding the dropped lid beneath the bridge? A little bit harder! 20mins later, and much internal cursing (plus some torn up forearms) the lid was retrieved, signalling the end of our night of caching.

Despite the previous DNFs this one was where it should be! Can send a photo to CO if needed. TFTC!

Not there!! Instructions were clear and was not where it says

We couldn't find the art work either. It appears to have been painted over.

That wad hard

TFTC. Sl. Hardest part was opening new the log paper

Enabling cache.

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.

The cache owner needs to:

* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.

Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.

Alternatively:

* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.

In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by .K.B. and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

Epic fail you pwned us n00bs... You are only as good as your next find.

Appears to be missing.

seems gone

Had a decent look but no good thanks anyway

Came back again and still didn’t find

My second look for this. Couldn’t find it.

I couldn't find it, if anyone can give me a better clue, it would be much Appreciated

Three people didn’t find it despite the hint.

Found it with LisaO89 and WayneO. This was a quick easy find, thanks to the hint. TFTC

Caching with DAT87 and WayneO. TFTC

TFTC. Quick find with LisaO89 and Dat87

Geowife found this one very quickly, hint leads you right to it. TFTC!

Took me ages but reading the hint as relevant to the handrail poles made it easier

Great and easy find. TFTC!

That was really hard we had to come twice

Cool! Found two nanos next to each other

TFTC took my mum along for her first find.

Quite a nice spot. Unplanned visit so I didn’t bring a pen. TFTC

wasn’t enough room for phone light / camera. didn’t feel comfortable with spider webs

we’ll, after i got my east / west u figured out i found it

Took me a while as it blends in well

V. Quick find TFTC

Last second find

Not one of our favourite places so glad of a quick find.

Quick find here.

TFTC

Our holiday care kids enjoyed finding the cache. No muggles spotted

Tftc

I took one side and Mal took the other, Found it very fast. Just lucky today. TFTC

We just got lucky with this one. Signed PJ and PM (see pic). Thanks kbinuk2005 for the smiley

Had a good, long look here for 15 minutes with no luck.

9 for 16 today...

Good find.

Tftc! Quick one before work

I looked like a fool, searching the support pillar under the overpass for 10 minutes. The hint would have worked better if it would have started with: look in the handrail...
TFTC

Quick find after work. Thanks for the hide

Super hint had the cache in hand in no time. TFTC

Quick find thanks

Finally found it! Third nano of the day! Another favourite!

Think we found the right beam, however we don’t know whether the cache was missing or we just didn’t find it.

Very good

So hidden

Found pretty quickly but there were spider Webb’s around.

Just out of sight not to hard.

Relatively quick find as there was some confusion over which supporting beams, bridge supports or handrail supports. Cache was extremely small and well out of sight of muggle eyes. Be sure not to rip logbook as very thin.
PS Sorry about taking up 2 spaces, I can't write that small

A quorum of the Fott was here so we are retrospectively claiming the find. If that's an issue let us know.

Quick find, thanks. Been around here heaps in the last week, but before and after school aren’t good times for this one.

Cheers kbinuk2005! I found your cache today (Saturday 29/2/20 at 09:31).

See you at WAGB 2020 in Albany & Denmark (May 29-31)!

Allied_OZ, SVKR_WA, and myself headed out today to try and bag a mixture of caches and types for Leap day before heading to the event at Point Walter.
Fat fingers missed it on first pass but Allied came back with the goods.

Many thanks to kbinuk2005 for placing and maintaining Mickeydv's Nano. We found it, signed it, and put it back as found. We found this one at 10:34 am on Saturday and this is my find 8429.

Took advantage of a non school day deserted GZ to make a pretty quick find.

With Leap Day somewhat of a big deal on the caching calendar, Kyzabra, AlliedOz and I made a plan to meet up and grab as many different cache types as we could prior to the event at Pr Walter.

We met up at Bicton and headed out for a morning of funds, fun and frivolity.

kbinuk2005 SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache Mickeydv's Nano today at 10:35:07 29 Feb 2020. This brings my find count to 4021

kbinuk2005 - Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. We love travelling the state and visiting some places that we would only visit due to this game.

Out with SVKR_WA and Kyzabra for some leap day finds.

Awesome hint made for a quick enough find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache kbinuk2005 you help make this game what it is.


AlliedOz

Checked this morning and nano remains present.

Not sure if cache is still at location ️

Followed the hint but unable to find despite broadening my search and using a torch.

Will have to try looking in daylight hours. So far this one is eluding me.

Came back for a second go. So satisfying to reach in and find this. Too dark to open and sign. Worth the effort

A nice quick find thanks to the detailed hint.
TFTC kbinuk2005 this is find # 8172 for us.

Found

??

Great cache. First micro nano found

Tftc

We found it on the south side of the bridge.

TFTC and hint.

Found with reference to the clue as I wasn’t prepared to play with every cobweb in the place. Got an overlooked LGA and the final jewel TFTC

We had an early morning start in Fremantle on a fresh morning so took the opportunity to collect some smilies on the way home, we moved around Freo before Freo even woke up before heading up north, happy to say we came up trumps and went home with a smilie TFTC

Nice quick find thanks to the hint. TFTC

Nano has been replaced.

wasn’t there

Oh sorry. Hadn't been monitoring logs. Must be missing. Will replace next week when I'm back at work. Apologies for recent visitors to GZ.
