It was good while it lasted however it's been un reachable for a few months now and making way for something better as unsure as when this would be back in action
If this one is still unable to be found, shouldnt it remain disabled until the fence has been removed?
I have found it but was blocked by a fence so will come back later to get this one
I returned and I found this time, on an early morning bike ride. Thanks for the cache.
Out with The Fitzy's for a walk and find some duck caches stopped to grab this one as it was the last for day and the light had faded we read the clue first for a fairly quick find TFTC!!!
Yeay found it! Did look there before.. . needed tweezers to retrieve cache. TFTC
Muggled with our first try today, but after great day walking the river picking up caches we stopped in for a look. It had us stumped for a while, but then the clue helped out as JAC-13 made the sneaky find.

Out caching for the day with rokadz, the fitzy's and alliedoz no luck the first time as muggles were sitting on top of it so went for a walk to find more and found this sneaky one on the way home
The 3rd cache for the morning. The additional hints "down low" helps a big deal. I went to the Raffles, not for a drink but for sightseeing and get to know about the iconic Raffles Hotel - a landmark in Applecross! Thank you for bringing me here, cravo10.
My last for the day on this side of the river, good one to finish with, nice clever hide. Thanks cravo10.
A quick stop after coffee with a friend. Lovely spot, and even better for the finding of the cache. I too struggled with getting the log out, but I was successful. Executive decision: I removed a couple of cm from the bottom of the log so it would not be in so tight!
TFTC cravo10!

Found the GZ but could not complete the find. Too many muggles and time constraints. Will try again.
I located the container pretty quickly, but was unable to get it out of its lair... I resorted to a stick with a slight band in the end to extract it, but it took some time...
With the container in hand, I then could not get the log out... Great I thought... Over to the car for tweezers and much nipping and twisting, still failed to retrieve the log... I found something nice and thin to slip down the centre of the log and lift it. STILL NO JOY... Things were not looking good.
After 15 minutes and still no ink on paper, I snapped a pic of the container and dropped it back. It will take some work to get the log out as it is well and truly jammed in place. I placed the container so it should be easier to get out of its hidey hole at least...
Cheers cravo 10.

It took quite some hunting and then it was a real challenge to extract it. But a clever hide. TFTC cravo10
found it, although we were unable to remove it from its hiding spot. may need maintenance. tftc
TFTC. Found this one in between cars whizzing by, walkers and cyclists. The fisherman eyed me suspiciously but I think I was circumspect.
Nope, I couldn't find this one either.... Though I wasn't having a great amount of luck over here its afternoon!

Met up with FelixII and "the girls" for a Duck43 cache run.
While the girls took off on foot, male-Felix and I took of on our bikes to hopefully cover a wider area.
Looking forward to having more experienced eyes and even a previous finder along with me to tackle these!
I had attempted this one many months ago but as I only had a few minutes to spare was not as prepared as today!With Mr Felix being a previous finder we had higher hopes of success but as a few DNF's preeceeded us, we didn't spend a big chunk of time looking.
Even returned later in the day with super cacher Everlasting who checked where she found it last but confirmed it was not where she found it.
Hopefully will be replaced/repaired for another smiley soon! TFTH cravo10.

Mr Felix and Amryall in the area after joining the girls for coffee up at Heatchote Park. Looked and looked before walking away empty handed.
After chatting to to a previous finder another search was conducted but still no luck.
Hopefully the CO can check on this one.

Another DNF, maybe it's not a good day for us and we should just go back home.
We'll have to go back there as it's not the only one we didn't find

This DNF was a family effort - ok the four year old was more interested in swinging on things but we tried twice. We will be back.
So the ants had built a nest around the cache, including an almost beaver-logdam-esk barrier for the hiding spot, sorry ants!
Our final foreshore cache for the day. Ian had cycled up to this one and not been able to locate it so as he loaded the bikes into the Landcruiser my sister and I went for one more look. After several minutes of searching we finally found the cache.
thanks cravo10

This is a common log of all my findings of geocaches in the Perth area during my stay, weekend 6th and 7th. April. 2013. At the bottom of the log, you will find more information specific to this particular cache.
Got to know a week ago that I was going to perform a mission on a ship bound for Broome, Australia. (This is my first trip to Australia.) Admission ship outside Bali on Tuesday afternoon, and arrived in Broome on Friday morning. In order to return to Europe again, I had to fly to Perth on Friday night. Since it was the weekend, I took as well a couple of days off here in Perth to find some caches. Had send a message to "duncdonut73" a few days before arrival to get some guidance since I unfamiliar with all the "dangerous creatures" here in Australia. Not enough that he responded to my inquiry, he posed as well by showing me a lot of nice caches. Thank you duncdonut73 who had time for this.
In this space, I discovered the black swans and dolphins in the river. I almost forget to looked for the cache, but it was found and signed the log before I left GZ.
Thanks for this nice cache.

A quick find while out for an afternoon bike along the river. A great location to stop and look across the river at the city. Some black swans close by today.

The name let us know that we were searching in the right spot, but it still took a bit of poking and prodding to locate this nicely tucked away little container. In fact, I'm not sure I would've found it at all without using a little device I have . TFTC, cravo10. =^.^=
We were reading the name of this and thought it may involve some wading Luckily for us it didn't! A short search and The Marble came up with the goods TFTC cravo10, great spot along the river!
Yay, a cache I can find!
Out on the duck run with rudi63 and we were moving along at a steady pace. There were some muggles launching their boat nearby, but the Water Corp car blocked them from view as we searched. After a while, and courtesy of some past logs, I soon found the container. Right where I had been sitting for a while!
Thanks for the cache cravo10

[:o)] Out and about to do some caches along the river, today was a day for Quality hides and a fun day caching with Mr. Wileyclan.
[8] [8] We arrived at the GZ, and witnessed some muggles loading crab nets and an inflatable boat, but luckily a River Trust car provided some cover. After a phone call about a facebook update Mr. Wileyclan posted, we commenced the search. A short time elapsed and my caching partner soon came up with the goods. [:o)]
Thanks Cravo10 for the hide. [^]
This is my find number 2185

What a great day for caching and what a beautiful spot. Reading a few logs gave a good sense of where GZ would be and it all seemed simple...20 mins later and frustrated...managed to make the find and grab the cache. TFTC
Found the cache straight away and sat down to retrieve and on a hot day that wasn't such a good idea, Why? The concrete block at GZ gets very warm. TFTH,
A bit sneaky this one was looking elsewere at first then I look at the hint and I saw something that I was looking for. TFTH SL.
