Attempted this. on 25th Feb 24I have logged this cache before years ago (before Tonkin extension)Since then, there is no longer access from Marangaroo Drive or Beechboro rd end.Others have mentioned the Lakefarm Retreat access, which I attempted, however there is now a big chainlink fence running the entire length here, souht of the East/West Maintenance Track, with no way through. I walked the whole fence section between Marangaroo Drive, and the property boundary to the East - no way through.Not sure if this cache is still accessible?
No access near Marangaroo Dve but accessible from Lakefarm Retreat off Hepburn Ave.
Spent the day NOR checking out many hides (and finding them). Not my usual hitting zone, good to see a variety of hides and getting some of the solved puzzles that have been waiting. Thanks to all the CO for putting out and maintaining their hides.
Find 13 of 13 on a mountain bike ride around Ballajura and Malaga. We were out early to beat the heat but it was pretty toasty by the time we grovelled our way out of Whiteman Park.
Great cache, awesome to see it lives on after 8+ years and with the original log book, all in good condition. The journey highlighted why caching is often better in the winter months as this area is already quite inhospitable with high temps, sun glare bouncing off the limestone paths and very dry and sandy undergrowth. Managed to ride right up to the cache though, so it's not all bad!

Thank you! Headed out on the sunny but cold winter morning to find a few caches with dad. We enjoyed the walk to this one and soon found the cache. Dropped TB.
I am walking the Sandy tracks while PP1 cycles the limestone tracks. It was working well until the heavens opened & drenched us. TFTC The Red Devils
What a great camo tin. Swapped out a trinket. Nice little bush work. Been wanting to get to this one for a while. TFTC. ALL GOOD HERE.
Was here exploring this part of Whiteman Park last weekend but after finding 10 caches to the north west of here I ran out of time to grab this one. So back again today to clear up the remaining green dot Parked again in the suggested place and this time walked towards this GZ Was an easy trek although had to step aside for two different 4x4 that were tearing up the sandy tracks. All quiet near GZ though and after a few minutes I found the container nicely tucked away. Great to see some decent contents here still, and a huge logbook Left a CITO geocoin and a Bart Simpson TB - safe travels! No roos sighted today but lots of evidence of their presence! Pleased to put a smiley here - TFTC
Night time stroll.easy find and still well stocked, took Thomas the tank engine and left a magic marble
Out today with Cravo10 heading North of the river to collect a few smilies as our supply of green dots has been diminishing at a rapid rate south of the river with very few available caches from Perth to Mandurah we haven't found.
We headed towards the suburb of Edgewater, wanerroo and surrounds. We found a good variety of well placed caches before the sun heated up and made finding a little more uncomfortable.
Was a very pleasant day out and we were grateful to grab a FTF on a field puzzle cache by local legends olthomas before calling it a day. Looking forward to some activities around the Freo Markets this afternoon before watching the footy finals tonight.

We decided to head out to enjoy the sunshine and claim a few smileys in Cullacabardee today, a nice walk through the lark and a smiley was claimed. Cache is in great condition TFTC
With the sun shining, I decided to take the kids out for a bit of a walk around this part of Whiteman Park that we had not yet discovered... This was our first find for the day after parking at the suggested spot
A nice quick find here after an enjoyable walk thus far... Thanks The Red Devils [^] Cache was in good condition.

TFTH Red Devils!! Enjoyed the pleasant walk to GZ in-between showers today. Parked at the recommended spot after a false start. Great to find such a decent sized cache with goodies inside and a lovely log book. LS, TNLN and returned the cache as found. All in good condition.
Thank you Red Devils for giving my Grandkids the opportunity to find an Ammo can for their first find. A genuine traditional geocache set them off on their fabulous day out geocaching around Ballajura. It was a pleasant walk and a nice surprise once the box was opened. They came armed with a bag of swapps each left with the same drive to find their next that we had after our first years ago
Hi there The Red Devils.
We found your cache **"Brownies"** at 10:38:00 AM today. This one makes our find count 15101.
Our plan today was to log the remaining caches in Whitman Park before the weather got too hot. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the area & ended up finding a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.
###Thanks for placing a large cache here. It is really sad to note that the trend of placing small caches (without swaps) is increasing. While nanos and eclipse tins sometimes have their place in an urban environment these, along with 200ml Sistemas, seem to be the norm these days even out in more remote areas. It made us feel really glad to find a large, kid friendly cache here.###
Today we found 6 caches & DNF'd 1. Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 2m from where our GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

We drive past this area often, today we thought it was about time we stopped and collected a smilie! It was a nice easy stroll out to GZ, we saw heaps of kangaroos! Even though this cache hasn't been found in nearly 5 months it was safely tucked away! We signed the generous sized log book (should be good for many years!) and went happily on our way! TFTC
Great cache in good condition, drove to near GZ, not sure if allowed but no signage saying not to
This one took a few minutes but revealed itself after a systematic search
I decided to head north and grab a few caches. It was a good chance to see how our northern counterparts play the game! This one was on the list and I was happy to find it.
The Red Devils - jinta29 found your cache Brownies on 5/09/2015 9:17 am. This is my find #3744 and find #14 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Beautiful spot, nice day to go exploring. Dropped off a Travel Bug as well!
Bit of a hike out here, just thankful it's not 40 degrees with lightning storms as the past few days have been. Last legitimate log in the book is September 2014 so glad to have put my name to this one after 5 months of no finds. Mini milestone too, find # 1100 for familysteiner. TFTC
After returning from the delight of the warm weather up north to this dismal cold rain day before me, I need to brighten up,the day with a few smiles. And the western end of whiteman park was the place.
Nice quick find during a small shower, was able to shelter under the tree

Out today on my day off picking up a few caches in the area, it is a beautiful day with some cloud cover but no rain..nice walk to grab and easy find...TFTC
Now that is what I call a cache. Heaps of goodies and big enough to be able to find it easily.

I was practising saxophone under the next tree. When I finished I checked for a cache and it was 10m away!
Couldn't find it though

TFTC! Took geodog for a wander out to it... Noticed a tick on the paperwork inside cache. Make sure pet health/tick care is good.
This was part of a run of 10 through this small pocket - all wins today - no DNF's.
Awlays helps to do it with a few Jnr Geo's ( 4 today) to help scurry around at the GZ.

Out with mum this morning grabbing a few caches in this nice and quiet bit of bush. TFTC
It's still there, just well hidden.
Been up today to check if it was still there (found this one before) as we are planning to introduce some friends to Geocaching, they have kids and dogs, so a good one to start with. Didn't want the kids disappointed if it was gone.

I'm not too sure if its not there anymore, or I just couldn't find it! I looked for a good ten mins.
Quick find while out on a morning bike ride. Nice area, and nice to find a well stocked ammo tin. TFTC.
Out for a late afternoon hike on our daughters 25th birthday. She was so happy she took herself a little toy for her birthday present, and left something to replace it.
We took off to find Lucky Fifties II and it started to get dark. We turned off the GPS and Geohubby said we should follow the track and head back to the car because it was hard to see even in torch light. I wanted to walk on and when we got home I looked at the map and found out the cache was only 100m away from where we were. He should have listened to me!!! Our birthday daughter had fun though, laughing at us.

This cache has been on my closest to home list for quite a long time, but I've never quite got around to stopping here. Today was my mission to get all those long sandy walks, and this was the first stop.
Coming from the east the parking spot was a bit tricky to access, and leaving it to head west was even more difficult. I was glad I brought the 4WD for the parking too.
The walk in was actually very nice on a compact limestone path, but I was happy I had my walking/poking stick as the magpies about halfway along seemed to take a keen interest in me, so I held the stick above my head for protection, which worked a treat!
Right near GZ I disturbed a couple of large kangaroos, and they hopped off, but kept a careful eye on me. I wonder if the cache is hidden right in their favourite resting spot. Anyway, it was a quick and easy find of the ammo tin.
Thanks for the cache The Red Devils!

Enjoyed walk along to the cache and saw plenty birds around the tree... No swap. Signed the log. Thanks The Red Devils.
Thanks for the great toy cache! A bit of a walk for tired Team4, but perked up when he saw all the toys TFTC
Out with iluvtrekking on a wet and blustery day. Walked the 'farm' to pick up all the caches in the reserve and managed to dodge most of the rain.
Found with richlink, the last of the Cullacabardee caches to find. We enjoyed the bush wallk in the stormy weather. Thanx Red Devils.
nice walk from suggested parking. Easy find, love the paint job! Tfth (now that's a log!)
Parked up just off Hepburn at the suggested spot and walk in up the Limestone
path with Mrs Felix, and then a short walk on a sandy to track to uncover the Cache..
Great spot. lots of room for more Caches.
Many thanks

Walked out to this cache with The Machman. Was getting quite warm. Was surprised that the walk was so far, it didn't look that far on the map
Every time I have gone into this patch of bush I have come home with dozens of ticks, but today so far so good. Fingers Crossed still. [B)]
Walked back to the car before working out how to get to Lucky Fifties II.

(Chwiliwr team catch up log)Chwiliwr had already returned south of the river when he was told this cache had been published so returned a bit later and had a quick conversation with kbinuk2005 as she was leaving the area. Was a quick second to find in the obvious spot. No swaps made.Said hello to paulhobbs as I passed them on the way back out but did not know that they were cachers until I read their log. Then had a quick conversation with smomac before she hurried up the track behind the others. Amazing how long it was unfound and then 4 cachers finding it within 30 minutes.Thanks The Red Devils for the cache.
3rd to find today about 20 mins off my 1st 1st nice to finally meet a fellow cacher smomac helping with the find. She had to help as she boxed my car in and couldnt move til she did. Daughter took to Ftf prize of freddo cards
Jumped in the car with (unwilling) geodog. Drove past the parking spot of course and had to find somewhere to turn around. When I got back there were two cars parked there, so headed off up the track for fourth to find. (unwilling) geodog liked the hard limestone road to walk on much better than our usual trekking through sand. Nice to meet some fellow geocachers.
Early start as always. Walked dog and checked fb. Took S+J out to find some caches. Home for brekkie. My sister was taking S+J up to Ballajura at 10:30am to visit some relies so my bike and I hitched a ride. FTF at 11am after riding from Enderby Park via Lakeside Retreat. Not the best approach but it did the trick. Chwiliwr was just arriving as I rode out. Thanks for the cache The Red Devils....well stocked.
