Worked out this puzzle before leaving home and it was quiet here today so I was able to have a quick look and found the container with no problems.

Awesome find. TFTC

Had this one solved a few weeks ago and decided to head down to Mandurah for a few more smilies, happy to say was a nice quick find at GZ. Not too many muggles around on a Thursday morning.The puzzle was a little difficult as we struggled being probably a bit too young for Elvis so had to PAF for a few of these, fortunately the hide was easy.Thank you Mistraluna for placing and maintaining The King for us and others to find and enjoy!

Caching around Perth and the west coast for a few weeks. TFTC.Nice to finally grab this one. Not too many people around, so quick grab.
 
08-Apr-23
Find 6 of 16 with 3 DNFs on a 20km bike ride around Mandurah, then the last couple under cover of darkness.

An easy puzzle, what a treat. A bit of google fu and out dropped the answer. At our GZ we couldn't look on our first pass, but after some AdLabbing we came back and the coast was clear. Mrs O made a quick find then.

TFTC Mistraluna!


 
08-Jan-23
Got some of the clues but needed help from someone of that generation for the last few

15-Sep-22
Alyce and I decided to take the kiddies to the marina to grab some lunch, explore and grab some caches along the way.

Fun puzzle but we needed a little help with some of them as we’re not familiar with the Kings work.

The cache was relatively easy to find after a little touchy feely action, although we had to be weary of a few muggles near GZ.

Thanks for bringing us here.

With an event on in Mandurah Kapelula and I headed to Mandurah and surrounds to do some caching. Focusing on collecting some of our puzzles that we have had solved for awhile and whatever else took our fancy.
Nice quick find in between muggles.
 
28-Sep-20
We have had this one solved for quite some time and looked for it a few times before but there have always been too many Muggles around. Surprisingly there weren’t too many here today, so we took the opportunity to do more a search and finally located the cache. TFTH and puzzle!

Been meaning to get to this one for a little while and after a short look, had the cache undone signing the log. Enjoyed this puzzle and a very clever hide here. Thanks Mistraluna.
 
23-Nov-19
The puzzle wasn't my cup of tea at all. However, the subject is so precious to so many fans that internet provided all necessary information - and more Big Grin

Cache location may (and will) get busy at certain times but I was lucky. Could pick it up, log in distance and return unnoticed Cool

Very sneaky mistraluna
 
22-Sep-19
Out and about today with Cravo10 on a trip to the Mandurah area. Started off a little later than planned with one of us sleeping in past the 6am meet time, eventually leaving at 630am.

We scooted down the freeway to Dawesville to start the geowitchzel series, which had some very tough hides and we ran at 50% finds and 50% dnfs, some good camo in this series and we managed to get a few years of unloved on a couple of them.

We worked our way back to Cockburn via some of the newly published caches and some solved puzzles and enjoyed a great day out.

Thanks to the local COs for their caches.
 
22-Sep-19

After. the nearby event and a few tips since Coords were incomplete stopped here to have a go at this cache. Took a while without gps but got there eventually. Nice puzzle and hide. Tftc mistraluna. Adding a fave

 
23-Mar-19
I had solved this one some time ago and we were in the area today so I decided to go for it.
The grandkids had the GPS but the geosense kicked in and I spotted the likely spot and made a quick grab while they were searching elsewhere.

G’day there Mistraluna, I was in this area today and found your cache The King GC3CPT1. I added my name to the log book at 5:45 pm on 5 December 2018. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

A couple of Victorians caching in WA for the first time - we researched back in the east - we worked the puzzles - no checksum this time!!!!

Tried our luck at our calculated co-ordinates and bingo.
Satellites today had our GZ 7m SW of where we found the cache.

Thanks to Mistraluna for the cache and the trip down memory lane.

Hi

Well the King really rocked this cache. Great puzzle, my mum would've love this cache if she was still alive. tftc, sl ,tnln.

Thanks to the geodad for solving this! Out caching with ooh yeh and kristybelle. Bit of a search but got there in the end! Tftc
 
20-Aug-16
Out to grab some caches this morning with OOH YEH and redlipsandunicorns after the international geocaching day event.... mr OOH YEH solved this one a while a go and today was the perfect opportunity to pick it up... after a quick search cache was in hand... TFTC Smile
 
20-Aug-16
After attending the nearby DNF Event i headed out with redlipsandunicorns and Kristybelle to grab a few caches. I noticed this cache was in the geohubbys solved pile and being in the area we stopped to pick it up. its lucky there wasnt to many muggles about as it took a few minutes to find. I was careful not to drop it and after signing the log the cache was replaced as found. TFTC Mistraluna
 
12-Aug-16
That's my first mystery solved ever. Luckily I figured out how to figure it out lol. Today happened to be nearby so came to GZ and time of the day when not many mugglers around made it easy to grab the cache, sign the log and replace as found. Tftc
 
03-Jun-16
With the Chief having recently been to Memphis and spent a surreal moment sitting in a certain gentleman's carport before visiting the jungle room this cache was a must do as well as a bit of fun. After checking out the nearby pontoon boats and comparing them to the boat he hired in Georgia to get a year 2000 cache we turned our attention to actually finding the cache. A quick search and sign & we were off to breaky. Thanks for the fun puzzle.
 
28-May-16
Found after a little hunt. Tftc
 
08-Apr-16
Thank you! Solved the puzzle ahead of a trip to Busselton via the electric highway. Planned to find the Busselton challenge cache so this counts as one of the five cache types found in one day.
 
13-Dec-15
we started caching with our family under the name clan-wallace but now it is time to have our own identity, hence embarking on a marathon re logging exercise.
 
13-Dec-15
I started working on this puzzle a year ago. Dare I say that they are all a bit before my time. Believe that & you will believe anything. Finally devoted an evening to it with no diversions & Voila!
Relieved to find the cache just where it should be. TFTC
 
30-Nov-15
Thank you for this awesome cache x
 
30-Nov-15

TFTC SL.
 
15-Jul-15
Checked on this one this afternoon - safe and sound, just where it is supposed to be.
 
12-Jul-15
We are confident that we have correct coordinates and had a good look around but did not find
 
18-Jun-15
After completing the puzzle last week, I had a few spare minutes to hunt at gz after a few looks in the same place a soon had the cache in my hot little hands only to discover I had no pen !! A quick call to geo boyfriend to bring one from the hotel and the log was signed !! Took path tag , left a path tag thanks for the hide !!
 
16-May-15
Off on a caching trip from South Australia to Western Australia, thanks to all of the caching community to make our trip more enjoyable. For the more memorable a PathTag will be left in the cache. So good luck to the next finder.
TFTC SL
Fav point awarded, great cache and a lot of thought and effort gone into the whole process.

Started working on this whilst in Mandurah for school holidays. Back on the Anzac Day long weekend and can tick off this find. Tfth.
 
17-Apr-15
Worked out the coords this morning as I knew I'd be heading down here. Great find here. TFTC
 
29-Mar-15
Partner found it before i even got the hint up! Hes getting better! ^_^
 
04-Jan-15
I solved this puzzle a while ago - thanks duckduckgo - without you I would be completely lost. It was so busy around the area today - I have never seen the place buzzing like that. Even still, the nature of the hide allows for retrieval of the cache with the extreme stealth required. I feel surprised and relieved to get a smiley on this one relatively easily. TFTC Mistraluna
 
01-Nov-14
Down south for a night away with K.B. She found this cache while I enjoyed the view. Thanks Mistraluna.
 
01-Nov-14
A quick find before dinner nearby. Thanks for the cache.
 
25-Apr-14
Dragging muggle partner on a caching run up this way so I could get smileys for some puzzles I (we) have solved and grab a few others as well Smile

I've had this one solved for months but each time we've come here there have been too many muggles around gz so we've left.

Today thought we'd give it a try as was hoping the cafe wasn't open and luck was on our side Big Grin

A quick walk to gz and I had the cache in hand in seconds Big GrinBig Grin

Yay finally I'll have a smiley on my map for here not a blue ?

TFTC which is very cute Big Grin

A favourite point coming your way for the subject matter. After all who doesn't like "The King" though just a bit before my time
 
25-Mar-14
A nice little puzzle that brought back some memories of some of the movies I have seen. I have a favourite song from one of his films, but that movie doesn't appear on the list... Twisted

With a few minutes work, I had the final coords and the location looked good. Out and about this afternoon, I swung by and quickly located the container while the area was nice and quiet. A quick scribble in the log, I tucked it back before anyone appeared... Just like that... [^]

Thanks for a trip down memory lane Mistraluna and thanks for the cache.
 
18-Aug-13
Knowing that we were going to be out and about in Mandurah this afternoon Daz selected this one to fulfill day eighteen of the month long caching streak challenge. Solving the puzzle took no longer than a few minutes and after enjoying our afternoon we headed for GZ. While there were a few muggles wandering to fro they proved no barrier to finding the cache. Enjoyed the views while signing the log with Mr CDM261. Streak still in tact. TFTP&C.
 
18-Aug-13
Worked on the puzzle with mr dazndky in the morning then went to Mandurah for a fun afternoon, finishing off with a hunt for the cache.
After avoiding a few passing muggles we soon had the cache in hand, pulled the trackable, and signed the log and returned the cache to it's hiding place.
Nice surroundings.

Today I thought it was time to tackle some local puzzle caches. After about an hour, I had the coords. I never realised the King, made so many movies! We decided to go on a cycling expedition. On the way to the cache, while looking behind to see where my son was, I crashed my bike and damaged my iPad. Not good. Lucky the missus had the foresight to bring an instant ice pack and first aid stuff. Onya Duzzy! Once the pain and shock subsided we continued on. There were heaps of people at the very appropriate GZ, but they didn't seem to be paying too much attention to us as we searched. After giving up, I gave the GZ one last search, and there it was! Dropped a trackable and quickily signed the log as a boat load of people arrived. TFTC

Took my man for his first cache experience! Nice hiding place... Take a torch if looking at night!
 
07-Jun-13
Found it during an enjoyable outing with Jasenjanine & Tyler. Great weather for a winters day. Lots of muggles out and about, however they were not in the way for the clever hide. SL TFTC & puzzle Mistraluna - lots of memories. Big Grin

I had solved this one some time back and actually went to seek it out a while ago, but must have put a wrong number in as the GPSr lead me to a house nearby Razz Today whilst in the area, I decided that I must finally turn this one into a smilie Smile

We started out looking in the wrong spot but once the GPSr settled we realised where we needed to be. Luna Maya made the quick grab and we added our names to the log... TFTC Mistraluna & thanks for a nice solvable puzzle! Great spot too Cool
 
06-May-13
Will try again another day
 
27-Apr-13
I had solved this one months ago, but never got round to actually finding it.
As wot and I decided to head to Chocolateria San Churro for some dessert, I took the opportunity to grab this cache at the same time!
Cache was found easily as it surprisingly wasn't too busy down here for a Saturday night. Now we are sitting down to enjoy some chocolate Smile
TFTH, and for giving us a puzzle that wasn't too hard, unlike a lot of others around Mandurah that we will never be able to solve!
 
24-Apr-13
Had limited time for this one. Try another day.
 
24-Apr-13
Geomum solved this one ages ago but waited for the holidays so that we could do caching together. After a short search and waiting for muggles to walk by, we had the cache in hand. SL TFTC Mistraluna.

We'll be back to try again!
 
12-Jan-13
Found this one by luck. Was looking for a place to hide our next geocache and discovered this great little hide near one of our favourite places to have lunch.
Did not sign the log as we had no pen.
 
11-Dec-12
Thought I solved this one a while ago, but at what I thought was GZ I knew it would never be at that location
So this afternoon I gave it another crack, guessed who F was, went to GZ and I got it.
IM SO HAPPY Very Happy
Thanks Mistraluna I dont know weather i like solving the puzzles or finding the geocaches more.
 
30-Nov-12
Had checked on this one recently, and was still there, but alas it was gone when I checked on it earlier this week. A replacement is now in place.

Alive or dead... ?? Perhaps this cache answers the question... It looks a bit like a mini coffin! TFTC - now I have Elvis tunes running through my head!
 
09-Jun-12
I had found all but one names before the event (having seen none of those films, thank you Google.) I do love their haircuts. A fellow geocacher helped me find the last one, and off we went, just to bump into another 2 teams at GZ! TFTC
 
09-Jun-12
Was heading down to Mandurah for the Flash Mob so I decide to solve a couple of local puzzles last night. Grabbed before the FM with The Machman. SL TFTC
