We visited the zoo with 3yo geo grandson and parked in the free parking near here. Walked across the cricket oval to the cache. TFTC. We did not steal any balls, but one landed rather close to us.
Thanks for the hide. Intrigued by the cache name, I just had to check it out. Also found a new yellow golf ball little prezie for geohusband.
Found with Chooke. Also found 8 golf balls on the way back to the car. One was also stuck in a tree. TFTC
Very handy cache to find during hockey training dog walk time.
And FINALLY dropped of the geocoin. It has been in my car travelling all around Perth. Just not logged. Sorry to the owner of the geocoin. Our team is a black hole for trackables at the moment. Two more to go.

Managed to snare a parking spot right near the tree, lots of kids around on the oval but had the cache in hand quickly.
Slowly finishing off the Fabulous February series. Thanks KB.

We have taken the tree but left the cache.

Wasn't starting to get withdrawal symptoms from not being able to get out caching for a few days (only have two weeks school holidays, and don't want to waste them with mundane things like gardening, housework, blah, blah, blah), so gave AmstradKid a call. This one was quickly found by the Kid, before Jazl or I even had a chance. Thanks kbinuk2005
After spending the day at the zoo with my family, we went to find some nearby caches... I found this one! TFTC kbinuk2005 
A quick find by DangerMouse09 after our excursion to the Zoo today [^]. As per previous logs, the lid of the mint tin has become detached, and there is quite a bit of moisture inside the bags 
. Thankfully though, the log was only slightly damp, and easily signable. TFTC kbinuk2005
. Thankfully though, the log was only slightly damp, and easily signable. TFTC kbinuk2005 After an enjoyable day at Perth Zoo with the family, I could not resisted this nearby cache to where we parked. The cache could do with a bit of maintenance, there is no lid on the mint tin and while the log was reasonable dry the inside of the mint tin was wet.
Thanks kbinuk2005.
Thanks kbinuk2005.

This was the last day of my holiday in WA and while waiting for the flight back to Melbourne in the afternoon decide to do some last minute caching. This was one of a few found today. TFTC kbinuk2005 Luckily there were no muggles about as otherwise it would of look suspicious.

Flew into Perth this morning to be greeted by a lot of rain and the most amazing prolonged thunderstorm I can remember. The good part is that it keeps others indoors while we can search for the prizes. This was the another in this great series, and a nice quick find, thanks kbinuk2005
A very dirty cache: the bag it was in was gross, the contain was dirty and rusting. Luckily there was a toilet nearby to wash me hands after.
Replaced the disgustingly soggy mess. Suspect that, come Feb 24th, this will probably need archiving.
I found the mint tin in pretty bad condition this morning. The tin is rusting and the entire contents are completely soaked. Somehow the water has fully got into the snaplock bag too and the log is completely drenched. Unable to sign. TFTH
Log was damp but just good enough to write on, we replaced the ziplock back it was in so water tight again

Took a couple mins to locate, log was damp and hole is occupied with an 8 legged cache guardian.

Found on a day out with the family.
Cache difficult to open (didn't open it) as there was a bit of rust on the tin.

Che.cked on cache. All good. Hopefully it was a one off muggling; else I'll have to relocate
Hi kbinuk2005, just checking that you've noticed my comments in our found log. You might need to check the cache.
Re-logging under new team name ONLINE ONLY (were formerly part of TheChatterboxes but the team had got too large). If CO is not ok with this please contact me. Thanks.
Found in pieces on the ground. Log was on the driving range side of the fence but managed to retrieve. Put this back in the tin which we put in a plastic bag that was also nearby and in a hole. Hopefully correctly.
Found on a detour while heading south of the river. Only 18 of the Feb series left ! About a third of the way through it ...... While I do normally like tricky ones, gees it's nice to get some quick grabs to keep one inspired. Appreciate the effort kbinuk2005.
found with daz89 and matty16. i didnt want to reach for this one as there was a large slimy slug right on top. TFTC
Found despite my GPS leading me astray! Another good hide! TFTC! Lacking a pen, so a pic was included.
This one was hidden by a new crop of mushrooms growing out of the hole unfortunately I had to destroy the mushrooms to find and grab it. They will grow back if the conditions are right again.

They will grow back if the conditions are right again.On my afternoon bike ride today I had the opportunity to come past this cache, and stopped in to make the find. The cache name made a lot of sense once I was at GZ, and although I was a bit hesitant to stick my fingers in potentially icky places, I hit tin in the first spot! Thanks for the cache KB!
Found this morning on what must have been one of my most least successful caching days. Nice little hide. 2 of 3 finds for the day.

When approaching GZ, we were admiring all these pretty yellow flowers on the lawn on the other side of the fence. A closer look revealed a different story 
TFTC.
TFTC.My eyes took me to one tree, my gps to another...the answer was somewhere in between! TFTC 
Only two cars in the carpark after work at around 7.00 pm. The cache looks like it's in swamp mud - at least that's what I had on my hands. TFTC.

Quick find on the way home from work. There is some winter fungi sharing the hidey hole with the cache. SL. TFTH kbinuk2005
First of 5 finds on a long evening walk around South Perth. Found in the fading twilight. Easy one, nice spot, thanks.
Rode past already this morning. Log will be replaced before these last 3 spots are filled. Thanks for the notification. Best I keep my helmet on while I replace it! 
Beautiful day to be out caching after the recent rains. Danger points should be awarded for this cache. A stray golf went whistling close by! TFTH
My Gps was a bit off so I spent about 10 minutes trying to get into the golf course. After that the gps had settled and It was an easy find. TFTC
Found with Cliffo55 and geokids. Then watched Mitchell Johnson bowling in the nets.
A quick find at GZ. We spent a few minutes drying out the damp log book but it wasn't wet enough to stop us writing on it . Thanks for the hunt kbinuk2005.
. Thanks for the hunt kbinuk2005.After harvesting day at Kings Park and no luck at the WWI cannon gun that was an easy one.

There were golfing muggles in the car park discreetly trying to get changed into golfing suitable clothes while I was discreetly doing a grab and sign of the cache. I was hoping to make sense of the cache title and I did. TFTC.
Daughters class had an excursion to the zoo today so I tagged along. Did a bit of caching afterwards, this was one of them. Nice easy find. Getting thru the series. TFTC.
Was out on an early morning Cache run to South Perth with FELIX.
Having already cleared up all the caches in the "Northern" part of this series, it was time
to head down the freeway to pick up the remaining "Southern" end of the series.
Another straight forward find.

Out on a caching run through South Perth and surrounds with The Machman.
This was to be the first on the list, but we had already made a little diversion and picked up another newie before getting to this one at 7.28am.
Surprised to find there were already a few cars in the car park. so we had to watch out for muggles. There was a fellow walking around the car park carrying a pet cage?? And also 2 persons doing some boxing training across the way, aswell as a few persons on the golf course.
Located the cache easily signed the log and moved on.

I didn't see too many golf balls around this one but I did see a tennis ball. Nice little hidey hole for the cache.

Tried to BF it first but with so many trees (similar in size) we had no luck. With the assistance of the GPS, found it right away.
Our todays last cache. We tried to BF it, but just too many trees there. With GPS found within 30 seconds... TFTC )
TFTC )Decided to do all Fabulous February at South Perth... Enjoyed drive the car (not bike) smile... Signed the log. Thanks kbinuk2005.
The carpark was deserted at 1pm so was able to search at leisure to come up with a quick find.
