Took us a little bit but Kimmorley found it for us TFTC

Took a fair bit of hunting for this one. My co ords were about 14m out. But clue is good. TFTC

TFTC

Could not find

Found today @ 5:10pm After a lovely day visiting the area. Staying overnight at a farmstay. Thanks FelixII. My NSW geocoins visited.

Found it once again didn’t take to long

Good find nice clue

TFTC

Spent way too long in this one haha I have no idea why?! Blame it on the GPS! TFTC

Awesome thanks

Tftf in perth for an awards ceremony for my son with scouts thought we would do some caching

Out with BJA3 for a drive in the valley looking for somewhere to have lunch for Easter Sunday.

All good here and cache replaced as found, TFTC FelixII!

Out and about with Team Barritts on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning.

Quick find here today, Tftc!

Friendly cows

Quick stop on our way home, tftc!

Another good find out with Kazma61 & dad

Out n about ... With Mr, Graceling123, TFTC all in good order and signed. Weather was absolutely beautiful … . Had some laughs ... No Geodogs today as cycling

Tricky location. So many cars . Great hide. Thanks

Tftc very quiet morning and a small pony looking at us in the nearby paddock

Found it just as I was about to leave the scene and head home. thanks for the cache

Quick find on the bike. Thanks for the hide

Spotted the cache and moved in to retrieve and sign the log. TFTC

I didn’t give myself long enough to find this one, so I’ll have to put up with the blue face.

I’ll be back though. TFTH!

2nd attempt and still took me awhile. Blends in well. TFTC

Found! Didn't take too long- it's still hanging around

Nice park and grab. TFTC

Thank you so much for this cache the trees got chopped down in the spot but it was still here

Couldn’t believe we missed this one when we first looked! Tftc

Stumped me

Tijdens een bezoek aan de Swan Valley deze cache gezocht en gevonden.
TFTC.

Looked all over but no luck

Out on the bike today to tackle some caches in the swan valley. Had a reasonable search, but wasn’t able to locate this one today.

Hi

Unlucky it was hard and we just couldn’t seem to find it...

Could not see this one.

Was out and about doing some caching starting at Redcliffe and working my through Guilford and the swan valley. I found this cache very quickly and signed the log and was on my way again. Thanks for the cache Felix II and for bringing me here. Nice clean log sheets to sign as well. Finally getting to finish the series.

Cycled the series today.
Refreshed the caches and logs as needed.
FelixII

Disappointed I didn’t find this one, I’ll be back.

Mad as hell, spent a good hour last time dnf. Walked straight up to it this time
Tftc

This was our 4th and final find of the day due in part to the long delay in a restaurant where we chose to have a late lunch and partly due to my sister having to return to Butler to pick up her granddaughter from Day Care.
This was probably the hardest to find of the 4 we tried today for the simple reason that I was not approaching it with an open mind. So clever and just not what one would expect and for this reason I give this cache a favourite award. TFTC

Took a while to locate this sneaky hide.
Out and about in Ellenbrook and surrounds grabbing caches to try and get the Hidden Creatures souvenir.

TFTC FelixII this is find # 4857 for us.

PP1 was searching way off, don't know which planet he's on! My turn to rescue him. TFTC felixII

Easy find

Found during our trip in Australia.

After during this with my boyfriend, this is the first one I’ve found before him! Sometimes it helps to be the shorter one!!!

Another easy find, right on the coordinates!

Coords out by 14m. Found it at last

TFTF finally located looking down and spotted it as coordinates out

No luck today. Maybe it’s gone?

No luck

No joy for me. I had a pretty good look, but the dog across the road was going off and the owner was looking over towards me so I moved on.

Have updated the D/T rating and hint as suggested by previous cachers.

Tftc

Oops this should be a sad face, will be back to try again

No luck here. Will try again.

didnt find was with shortie27 and the grimreaper

Another big days caching with Barnzy12 to cleanup a number of green dots that have managed to appear on the map in recent months. Today we set out to remedy the "invasion".

Started off with a huge walk around Woodbridge with the lovely walk trail highlighted by the Woodbridge riverside series of caches that form a nice walk oth with the others along there.

Meandered our way towards the swan valley with a quick stop off at three sticks, and after reading a recent log by a local cacher about the activities of single men at the toilet block and then seeing two single males in the car park we made a quick find and escape before heading further along towards west swan road.

Drive up west swan road finding cache after cache from the swan valley cycle tour that we have previously missed before attempting a number of caches around the Ellenbrook area that we haven't gotten.

All up a great days caching with us hitting he magical number of 30 finds, which is helping keep up our yearly numbers!

Thanks to the local COs for a great days caching.

A great day out on the bikes today and we claimed the smiley, slowly working through this series TFTC FelixII

Couldn’t find

Dnf

DNF

We have been planning this ride/series from a while so finally had a clear day to tackle it Setting off from Guildford we headed to the last first before collecting the caches on the way back A bit tricky but we did find it. SL TFTC

Hard with no phone signal but great find

Found it

Too tricky for us dnf

Nice little find meet another team on the hunt today waiting patiently for us to move on. Very funny watching their team race in to get the first find

TFTC. Always a pleasure to meet some fellow geo-cachers while out on the hunt.

Found out in the open and clearly visible if you know what you're looking for

Out with Geoaddict and Big_Al7. Found this one exactly at gz

Very sneaky found after a good 10 or so minutes keep your eyes moving as it really is visible watch your tripping feet

Found it very hard to be sneaky though. TFTC

Eventually found despite being clearly visible the entire time. Sometimes can't see the woods for the trees. TFTC Felixll.

Went to buy honey went for nice walk. Thank you for the cache ...still learning

Cache has been put back inplay.
Many thanks to our Geo Friend in WA
Many Thanks to SpatialRiq and good luck in the World Rogaine-Championships in Oz
David & Dea

New bison in place

Will have to check on this when we get back to WA.

Spent time looking with Steiner family and couldnt find

Drove passed with Familysteiner and saw a fellow cacher searching so we stopped to say hi. Jasmina new cacher was at GZ. Unlucky today. May have gone missing.

Could not find.

Headed out for a bit of a drive today & found ourselves caching around the Swan Valley & doing the Cycle Tour, except no cycling was done on this tour This cache took a bit of searching after our GPSr wanted us to search another area first... Eventually I spotted something cache like & discovered the well hidden cache about 7m from where my gizmo indicated

TFTC FelixII Cache was in good condition.

Kid free for the day, the geo wife thought we would go for a bike ride in the valley

Parked the car at across the road from supa golf and made a way to Guildford and back with a nice picnic down by the river

All in all a pretty successful day with 10 smiles and 2 Dnf 's.

managed a puncture at #13 but luckily enough it was only 100 Meters from were we parked the car


Thanks for a great day FelixII

Not too bad TFTC

I liked this one! Thanks

This took a while searching! Good camo! TFTC

After attending the Green Mount Event with skippy 46 and Redlipsandunicorns we then decided to do the swan valley cycle tour caches. we didnt do it as intended but we did get our exercise by getting in and out the car lol... took a bit of searching but the cache was found TFTC Felix11

I parked 70m from cache and let out my partners in caching to go find while I stayed with the car.
After about 5 mins of fruitless searching I parked the car further down the road and walked back to help.
Is that it there?....No....Are u sure, it looks pretty shiny new......No...... searching some more...Are u sure? Another look and then I x'd it off my list of potentials. Hmmmm maybe we are looking for a ???? then ooh yeh said that she saw a couple of likely suspects......turns out that was the cache. Yayyyyyy
signed the log and we were off to the next one.

Found this sneaky devil. It was sneaky but I was better lol.

On a mission for honey, and thought would try with a few caches. Didn't have luck (or patience) required to locate the cache, IF it is still here. Looked in what I thought would be the logical places to hide a cache, but nothing jumped out at me.
Thank anyways for the hunt.

Last time I was here the cache was AWOL, glad to see it has been replaced and it was a quick find at GZ today. TFTC

TFTC quick and easy find

Second attempt but still no find, GZ had us in the middle of the road so stayed on the cycle path and searched with girls and noncaching hubby along fence line and signs, will have another go after more people find TFTC
