Markets on so muggles everywhere.... too many strange looks. Will have a go another day.
Took a bit for the compass to settle then was on to it pretty quickly. Now to find the next in the series. TFTC. SL.
Midland fun with the geo boys, saw this cache on the Facebook page and thought we would give it a go, a quick find by geo dad was a nice change tftc
Sorry I should have written this is our first thing we have ever tried to find. First day geocaching
Loving the sculptures around Midland.
A nice easy cache, which we enjoyed.

Trickier than it looks. Could have sworn we had already checked there. Note: No need to climb onto the sculpture. TFTC SpatialRiq.
Sneaky hid from you Spacialriq, still couldn't stop the geolegend from finding it! Tftc xx
Sneaky little hide!! Almost looked right past it!!
Geokid had a great time climbing all over looking for it!
TFTH!

Didnt find Too much leaves and at night so coukdnt see to well even thou are is lite well.
No luck. Searching through the leaf litter after following all the comments and posts. Maybe just unlucky.
i have walked by this sculpture so many times and never really noticed it. thanks for making me take time out to appreciate my surroundings. Easy find, with cache in good order.
OK, 2nd time lucky now its been replaced, however, the camo mint tin had no log in it. Replaced tin on leaves where found. Needed very long arms or small child dangling from legs
Spent some time muggle free to have a very good look and couldn't find it. Checked as best we could through a lot of leaf litter too with a piece of wire left there. Bottle, can, who knows what else could be there
SpatialRig, please could you check?
SpatialRig, please could you check?
Unfortunately there were too many muggles around as the day we were there just happen to be market day will try again next time we are in perth
Found under a lot of dried leaves. My arms are obviously a lot longer than stegherrs. I've replaced somewhere where I think it may have been previously. Spatialriq - you may want to check on it. Thank you
Found it lying in a hole buried in leaves. Tried a few times to get it out. Might need a tool to get to it.
Back for a second try on this one, I must have forgotten to log my DNF on this one when i first started caching earlier this year. Felt and grabbed this one with ease. TFTC
Took way too long on this one! Dropped it in hole and had to stretch to get it. Phew!
Just ran into fello geocachers while wearing a tiger costume! Must be hidden in nature :0 was a fun short talk. Great spot! Tftc!
Searched here back in June but it had been muggled. Quick find on our return today. TFTC
Ahahahaa what a great place to have placed the cache. 2nd time lucky thats for sure.. This time I searched and felt around the train on the weekend. Great placement TFTF
I went for a walk on my lunchtime and I couldn't find it. Even though my colleague and I must have looked a treat feeling it up lol
The Sunday Markets were packing up when we came across this one, Muggles everywhere. Great little sculpture. TFTC
Found it right away! But I forgot my pen D; carful when you get it tho. Alot og muggles are around..
Looks like its time to see if its still there. Will replace later in the week if its gone.
Came back for a 2nd attempt and found it straight away. Much easier when you've found more than two caches so you know what to expect!
We found it but unfortunately it slipped from our hands and fell into the leaves in the middle of the monument and we couldn't retrieve it sorry. Shame it wasn't more secure.
Daz was in the area today and, having completed the necessary chores, decided to enjoy a short caching spree. This was the first in line and proved to be a very quick find with barely a muggle in sight due to the public holiday. Great little hide. Dropped off a TB retrieved from New Caledonia; TFTC.
I had all the kids and myself climbing all over it, inside it, checking every nook and cranny and even using sticks to check in the leaves that had piled up inside, in case it had dropped down, but no such luck it is Midland though, and it's in an area that is under surveillance, so it wouldn't surprise me if someone moves it or takes it.
A pretty good find in which a bit of stealth was required Quite a few muggles in the area even though it was a late Saturday arvo. It was great coming back to my old stomping ground with wifey and our beloved dog TFTC
I had a meeting in Midland today so I came early by train to explore a new caching area. This was find number 6. The first time I went to the cache, it was lunchtime and stealth was hard to achieve. My own lunch meeting at Midland Gate beckoned, so I had another go afterwards. This time I was lucky, the place was quiet and I was able to prod around till I made the find. TFTC SpatialRiq!
Headed out with MNS13 today with our two young'uns to find some caches, we decided to head to Midland & it's surrounds after hearing nice things about the area A few muggles were in the area so I took some snaps to make us look like tourists! The cache was not found until I put the camera down & had a look myself... My geo-instincts were on fire here & spotted the cache in the first spot I looked You can be lucky sometimes!
TFTC SpatialRiq [^] Great spot for a cache & we are very thankful it was not a nano! Cache was in good condition.

This turned out to be the last cache for the day.
It's been lots of fun visiting all the different sculptures around Midland, but I think the kids loved this one the best.
We were blessed with full shade and a lovely breeze whilst we had a look. There weren't too many people around today, which made for an easy time.
Thanks for the cache Spatialriq
