DNF
Looks like the park may have been recently renovated. Might be wise to check!

Third Barnzey12 DNF of the day. Looked down low and up high all along the fenceline but the cache didn't reveal itself. I should give this hobby up now!
I hoped to find this but I looked for a good 15 mins. My gPS coordinates were jumping all over the place. Unfortunately no more time to look today 
I think to satisfy the disgruntled non finder a check by the CO is in order. (Interesting that there is a NA, DNF and a FIND log by this cacher all on the same day.)
It is more correct to do the above type of log and not a NA log as it is inappropriate type of log for a missing cache.

Barnzy you sneak!! We allllmost gave up after getting to know this park intimately haha!

signed and retuned!Not sure whether it's gone missing or whether we just haven't found it but we had a good hunt around with no success
Had a good search around but couldn't see it. Oh dear. Another time. Will watch the logs to see if others can find it.
At long last we can scrub this off the to do list. Had a sense of deja vu as i found myself rechecking the same area as my proir visit, only this time there was a cache to find. Nicely camoed. tftc!

I got a clue from a previous finder as to where this one was so stopped in today to see if I could make a quick grab.
Arrived at GZ and the object is no longer there, in fact the whole playground is gone.

We too had no luck finding this cache today. Wondering how long has the playground been gone for?
Cruised up from Bunbury with mikirst to explore this area today. Think we ended up doing about 30 km on our mountain bikes . Defiantly ended up very sunburnt I know that much. But a good variety of caches in this area . We had a great time. So tftc
In the area trying (but failing) to grab a FTF on a cache nearby I thought i may as well see if I can grab some unattempted caches in the vicinity.
GPSr was pointing to the playground. No thanks.

Found on an early morning bike ride. Best time for tackling a location such as this one. Nobody else about which is important when hanging around playgrounds. Thanks for the cache. It's still in good shape.
Had a bit of search to retrieve the cache. With this one my geotool helps. TFTC
I'll check this next time I'm in perth...I don't think this would have gone missing...I know there have been some shenanigans with the log but to take the cache will take some effort.
First day in Perth with BettyBoo3747 was a bit muggle plagued!
Knocked off some puzzles, a few trads on the way, and the odd multi.
Did a quick night run to get a few we missed during the day.
Last for the night. This is close to where we are staying so we grabbed it on the way home (couldn't resist)
Glad we came here at night, would be hard to explain what we were doing during the day.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 6053. This is our first day caching in Perth and Robmc and I found it very frustrating. Saturday is obviously muggle day in the extreme. On the first round we found 14, had 2 DNF's and several unattempted. After dark we went back out and managed to find another 5 before calling it quits for the day.
Not far from our accommodation for the week so we grabbed it as our last one for this evening. Had to get down and grovel in the sand so thankfully we were here in the dark. Just added our names to scody's hazard report log. The cache has its lid missing.
Thanks Barnzy12

Found the lidless logless cache with no one about on this hot day. A plastic soldier has taken up residence here and so I would suggest that it has become a hidey hole for kiddy adventures.
Didn't have a log sheet so l placed a page from a 'hazard report' logbook. Does that beat a movie ticket?

Found this one after a morning appointment in the city. I had a couple of hours to kill before the 11-12-13-14-15 event nearby, so did a leisurely walk up the terrace then down along riverside drive, then up and over the narrows, before finally heading east along the water's edge, caching along the way. Grabbed this one before the event too. Thanks Barnzey12
A quick find today before the 11/12/13 event.
Was out withMistraluna filling in some time.
Found a few around sth Perth and this was one.
We found the empty tin and put a fresh log in with some protection.
Will need a plastic bag by the next finder or c/o

Tricky hiding spot. Lid and log missing from cache, looks like vandals have been playing in the park!
After visiting the 4X4 show we stopped and found a few caches on the way home... Dad found this one! tFTC Barnzy12 
It's bad enough searching for a cache nearby a playground, but to actually have it placed ON the playground equipment really does beg the question ... WHY??
I would have normally just walked away, but noticed there was no one around. I reached down to where I had found one like this before, and Bingo! I struggled to remove the container from it's hiding place, but quickly realised it was not meant to be removed! Again we thought this odd, but managed to retrieve the log from the lidless cache and added our names.

A quick find by the girls on our way home from a play over. I even let them have a play!

Quick find on the way home for my 20th day of caching this month. Couldn't grab the cache out so figured I had to retrieve the log and leave the cache in situ. TFTC!
I hate to search for caches in playgrounds so very happy to have found this place deserted as it would be impossible to find this one with any muggles about.

Found after a couple of minutes looking in all the wrong places. First and only find on day 16 of the August Challenge. Still in. Signed the log. TNLN. TFTH Barnzy12
Need to take a pen with you.DOH. Playgrounds :/
These are fine for kids to look around and women shouldn't have much of an issue either but as an unfriendly looking beardy man I have to approach playground caches with extreme caution or suffer the accusing glares of parental units who by default think you want to steal their precious little snowflakes. So it's usually at night and so it was tonight on a drizzly Wednesday.
Had my big jacket on so wasn't afraid to roll around a bit in the wet sand to check the obvious places but no luck there, so I stepped back a bit and analysed the structure. That's when I saw a possibility and sure enough there it was.
It does have a good magnet on that one! Didn't sign though, was a bit wet and didn't want to ruin the log.
There must be dozens of these little parks tucked away around the city.

Second place we looked. (Avoiding the watchful eyes of the muggles next door). TFTC!
Over for a workshop and this cache was just around the corner from where I was staying. Lovely park in middle of suburbs. TFTC
