DNF for us, found the likely spot, and it was dead set empty.
 
22-Feb-18
No action on NM log from March 2017 and now the container is missing too.
 
21-Jan-18
I spotted what looked like a likely spot, and and items used to cover the container, but couldn’t see a container at all

Jacko26 - I was out and about today and struggled to find your cache Cross Country Cache. Thank you for placing it. I will try and return in the future for another go.

24-Mar-17
Hi we found it yay
 
24-Mar-17
We did find but it was right out in the open. We hid it loosely under some leaves. It was intact with log book and couple of items inside but may need looking at to rehide in the correct spot.
 
26-Sep-16
Quite easy found it
 
23-Sep-16
Was in the area for my usual early Friday morning cache run before work.
While doing a nearby multi I dropped in for a quick find just as the rain came in.
Great time of year to be out this way, flowers aplenty. A surprising number of lavender bushes out here, not exactly an endemic flora but nice to see. TFTC
 
14-Sep-16
The cache is still in good shape. I left some Disney trading cards. TFTC
 
01-Jul-16
In the area and had a few minutes to spare so decided to have a go at this one. Parked up nearby and after a short stroll through the low scrub I was at GZ where I spotted the suspicious camo straight away for a quick find.

Jacko26 I found your cache at 4:54pm, this was the 3rd of 3 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3262. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

I was in the area to pick up a GCA movable that had been hiding under a black boy not far from here for the past three years when I noticed this cache nearby.

Stopped by to sign the log. Thanks for the hide Jacko26

Nice hide and not too far in the bush
 
Simple but a nice walk
 
22-Feb-15
I decided to head out nice and early and find some more caches up the lesmurdie and kalamunda area and a few extra on the way home. All caches were found quite quickly with 17 finds and 1 DNF and i was quite happy as i was back home by 12.30 pm.
A nice quick find here TFTC Jacko26

Easy find tftc

Nice hide but GeoMum didn't like the fact that I was walking in the bush, because one time when we were geocaching we came across a big snake. Relief when I found this cache and Mum was happy that we were leaving the bush! TFTC
 
20-Oct-13
Great cache
 
20-Oct-13
Easy TFTC

Convinced geobuddy Mark that it wasn't going to be too wet for caching today - bit of wishful thinking on both our parts. We headed up this way, hoping to make a bit more of a dent on this area of my map. Despite the frequent rain squalls, we still managed to find 26 caches, with two of them being multis, and only two dnf's. So was a great day all round. Quick find here. Thanks Jacko26
 
20-Aug-13
found with Jensky7 (have my own account now)
 
20-Aug-13
Found it out in the open (kids have been making cubbies nearby) so we put it where we thought it belonged (used clue). TFTC

30-Dec-12
As we were visiting friends nearby, decided to have a go at this cache while in the area. Easy find as cache was laying out in the open 1.5m away from its intended snuggley hide location. Signed log and returned cache to its home. Cache and contents remain in good condition. TFTC Jacko26
 
08-Dec-12
easy cache saw 50 metres away

Cache was exposed which made for a speedy find. I did a little walk along a nearby gravel track; absolute solitude out here this afternoon. Thanks for the cache Jacko26.

There was a burn off here a few weeks ago, but this spot wasn't affected and all is well.
Has lasted well, being so close to a school!
 
08-Jul-12
Was up in the area with Everlasting today and she informed us that the listing was enabled again as we hadn't intended to do this cache. Headed of to gz after finding another nearby cache. Everlasting made a quick find ahead of us.
 
08-Jul-12
Enjoyed wander around the bushland with Richlink, Signed the log. Thanks Jacko26.
 
27-Jun-12
I came by today and replaced the cache with a small sistema
Added 5 TBs aswell cache is close by to the original spot where it will hopefully get less wet
 
26-Jun-12
Checked on the cache while picking up brother an sister from school I can confirm the log will need to be dryer out
I will come by tomorrow to fix the cache up and replace with a better container
For the moment I have placed the cache close by where it is less likely to get soaked
 
14-Jun-12
Cache log is a sodden mess after all the recent rain, but Urch managed to include our names. In need of maintenance and suggest a waterproof container. TFTC.
 
14-Jun-12
Cache full of water and log sodden. Watertight container needed.
 
14-Jun-12
Found it, but the cache is in a sad state or repair. Not being a waterproof container the contents, including the log, which was not in a ziplock bag, were sodden. Managed to engrave my name but it will require CO attention ASAP. Thanks for the cache Jacko26.

Found on a group caching day out. TFTC
 
19-May-12
Was introducing a friend to geocaching today, so we headed here with duncdonut73, kellyxley, and Fiona. It took a few minutes, but Dunc eventually had the cache in hand. TFTC
 
19-May-12
The hint had us in the right sort of spot but there was still a large expanse to be searched. Actually I think it was kellyxley that found it in the end. TFTC!
 
08-May-12
Found it after a 10 minute search

A quick and easy find. I was going to drop a trackable but the log was damp so I wasn't sure about the integrity of the container. TFTC.
 
15-Jan-12
Visiting from the UK with my brother, who found this one TFTC
 
20-Dec-11
Phew, found it! I had to look for a long time to find this one. My brain was a bit heat-addled having just completed a long mountain bike ride, so I was running back and forth between different trees. There sure are a lot of places to hide a cache around here! Eventually I found it in a totally different spot than I expected.

Well hidden! Thanks for the cache Jacko26!

A nice easy find. TFTC TNLNSL

A bobtail was sitting on the cache guarding it I suspect!!! I had to pick him up and move him so I could SL. TFTC Jacko26
 
10-Nov-11
Nice one, TFTC!
 
10-Nov-11
I meant to say this cache is getting a bit damp so if you're setting out there maybe you could take a couple of bags and wrap it, about tea cup size.
Thanks, febe.

I saw the coordinates had been updated so came up just before dusk to have another look for the cache. Found without problems.

Thanks for the cache.
 
08-Nov-11
sorry guys, co-ords were wrong, cache will be back up very soon, as soon as i update the co-ords again... sorry for any inconvenience, storm was coming so i had to get out of there, so i just wrote down what ever co-ords i had at that point in time! it will be up and running by tomorrow afternoon.
 
08-Nov-11
will be out looking for this tommorrow
 
08-Nov-11
I was close to this one so of I went. When I arrived I noticed another car, so I was not surprised not to be the first, but I did surprise Felix II and The Machman at GZ. After lots of searching I suggested to Felix II that perhaps we needed a FTF expert. Felix II said he would already no, so it was LOL when I saw that Chwiliwr had logged a DNF. After looking longer than usual it was clear this was a DNF and so the search was called of but all was not lost as I enjoyed the chat with Felix II and The Machman.

Published
 
08-Nov-11
Happened to be close by when this was published so bimbled over.

Had a good search but nothing evident.

So first to *DNF* at 15.15. Good to meet "Dragonfish" at GZ.
 
08-Nov-11
Well Mrs Felix was out caching with The Machman today, just going to pop out for a couple of hours (yeah right) anyway we were finishing a lengthy walk around Mundy regional park when this new cache popped up. Hmmm somehow I had managed to get us well away from the car. In fact 700+ mts as the crow flies and more like 2km if we followed the road. Fancy being so close to a new cache and it looked like we were never to get there. Sure enough we took a short cut by bush bashing, but of course not to make life easy it started to pour with rain so by the time we got to the car we were drowned rats!

Are you sure you want to try for this cache.Yep was the reply. So off we dashed on some very wet roads. Parked at GZ and enjoyed the walk into GZ which helped dry us off a bit. We began a systematic search and after only about 5mins were startled by dragonfish joining us. We 3 searched for way longer than we would normally due to this being our 4th DNF today. But nope it wasn't to be. Another DNF blot on the page. Some days you just dont have it! [B)] Would like to know if the co-ords are accurate, lots of tree cover here.
 
08-Nov-11
Was in the city when this cache was published so came out for a drive after arriving home by public transport.

On arrival noticed extensive searching aroung GZ and added a bit more but didn't find the cache. Was about to leave when another young cacher arrived and after a quick search again with him left to come home whilst he stayed to look some more.

It seems the coordinates are not quite right or it is very well hidden.
 
07-Nov-11
Well NOW there appears to be 152.6 apparent reasons why I didn't find it ..!!
