Unfortunately this keeps going missing. I've lost count of how many times I've replaced it, so I am archiving this.
A quick find while at the local Yanchep Expo today. I would think it's the same cretins that keep loosing it for you if it keeps going AWOL. Perhaps change the coords slightly and move it away from where the muggle knows it is. There was also another written log on the book that isn't electronically recorded. Anyway TFTC from us.
New log, container, and pencil.
Don't know how this keeps going missing.
Please make sure container is put back where it belongs.

Sorry. Having trouble getting to this location. Will get there this weekend to check on cache.
As a couple of DNF's I have temporarily disabled this cache.
I will check on it as soon as I can.

It appears my original container has turned up after I had placed a new one!
I will try to get out there soon and remove smaller original container, so only one correct cache at GZ.

Found it, then found it again!
After reading the clue I knew where to look. As I approached I actually saw the cache on the ground (and someone had mentioned it was now a mint tin.)
I picked it up and signed it then thought I'd replace it where it should be (according to the hint). When I went to do so I found the cache again, this time a sistema containing 2 very cute toy cars.
Hmmm, what to do???
So, I signed that too and placed them next to each other in the right spot.

A bit tricky but after we found it the hint had more meaning. Nice park. Such a pity that so much urbanization along that northern coast is devastating so much natural bushland.

I eventually found this one, but only after reading the logs, and looking at the coordinates I was looking at and realising that the coords had changed. I had the latest information in my GPS, but the coordinates of the listing have not changed.
Please log a "Change coordinate" log, and enter the new coordinates, then the main listing will be updated with the new coords.
Thanks for the cache hootsman!

Cache now up and ready for finding.
Original cache was stolen.
New container bigger, and moved slightly.
Also put some swappable items in.

I do wish people would log their DNFs, how else is the CO going to know if it's there or not. 3 logs since Blackrat on another Nearby cache but none of you looked for this one?
DNF for me, I had a good feel along the feature and judging by the state of the ground a few tried before me too. No sign of the cache or Blackrat's tweezers.

Didnt take too long to spot it.

We've been here before but it was a very hot day so didn't have a good look. Today was an easy find, just a tap in the right spot and had it in hand. SL TFTC
Quick find here after a dnf at the nearby multi, so have my first smiley face for the day. TFTC
Gotcha !!! Nice park but guess it's needed with the houses taking up ALL the space between fences. TFTC
Nice way to see the new housing areas. Waiting for a job to start, decided to kill some time. TFTC
Took a while and you can certainly see where cachers have been scratching around looking for it. Beware of the hole on the other side of the path to the cache. Thanks.
[:(!] Went for an afternoon of caching with Mrs GrumpyBump, parked the geocar within 400 meters of GZ and walked the rest of the way to the cache, not realising that we could have driven fairly close to GZ, after arriving at GZ we had the cache in hand in a matter of minutes. SL TFTC/TFTH
Found myself unexpectedly free this morning, so made a last minute decision, to head North with my dog, to pick up a few long over due Caches and take some extended walks.
Found the cache easily, then had a good run around this very prestine park with the dog.
Some very interesting budget house designs going up here in the new suburb, so took a drive around before continuing our journey.
Have not seen many new "Hootsman" Caches recently?? Will there be a Park 5??

this is a nice park has a lot of play equipment, BBQ and shelters nice walks in the park
A bit of scrabbling around on a hot day had this one in hand, with the able help of Pflygt, and we stopped here for a relaxing shady picnic lunch. TFTC
Took a while to find due to some heavy camouflage. Eventually found it thanks to TakeADetour
It took us quite a while to find this cache. Our GPS wasn't terribly co-operative but in the end it had us very close to GZ.
We were looking too hard!
Thanks for the cache hootsman.

Spent some time looking but unable to find it. Very hot today, maybe the heat was distracting us. Will try again later.
Found on the way out of Perth on a caching run to get the new caches that were released the day after my previous trip.
Found without problems
Thanks for the cache.
