Hi all the log has
Gone AWOL but the cache itself is still there will replace soon

Found the camo, or at least we think it was the camo, but no cache attached to it. May need to be checked and replaced
A quick find on my second visit, there were no construction workers around today so I could have a proper look. TFTC
Had a look and gave up. I did not realise it was 3 star. Perhaps would have tried harder. Oh well..next time.
With Beakers Bunch for the day, We enjoyed search/find/signed the log. Thanks Barnzy12.
Found today while driving around Perth with Everlasting. Great cache... loved the location. Had us stumped for a while and had to resort to phoning a friend, but finally, got it.

This one got the better of me! After a few trips around the block to find the park (we breed 'em bigger up my way lol) and 10 minutes pretending to talk on the phone the workers next door were getting suss so I had to give up the hunt. I'll be back
Please be sure to put it back as you found it, has moved again since I fixed it last week
Super easy on the third go, I can't believe it! I missed the not quite right the other two times.

Out for a quick loop to fill a hole in the caching calendar. This is how I like my lunchtime caches - quick find with parking close by. SL TFTC
Checked on it today and it is still there! Please be mindful to return it where it came from. Thanks.
Looked for 20 mins using hints to stay on path and looking for camo with diff colour. No luck. We were a bit confused by the coord changes. Are they now correct or not? May give it another go sometime when some more clues. TFTC anyway.
My second attempt at this one and with no luck even taking into account previous finders hints. There is quite a nice little hidey hole in the scrub where one could have been hidden but empty to day. I'll have to keep an eye on this one.
My second go at this one. Arrived at GZ and found a furtive Machman trying to look as he was up to nothing in particular. After "geocaching" introductions it was an all out attack on the cache. Had it within about 15 minutes of arrival. Very cunning. Log book full as reported earlier. TFTC. Keep 'em coming Barnzy12.
Finished work in the City so decided to take the "pushy" over the water into South Perth to my nearest
unfound Cache, which happened to be this one !!
On arrival I stood and pondered the challenge when Melvilla turned up on his bike and GPS in hand, so we commenced a hunt together.
My interpretation of a couple of the previous logs took me well off the scent, I was about to use a lifeline, when Melivilla uncovered the cache.
So all was good.
Thanks for the Cache.

Found with BlaKids after attending a geocaching event in Burswood. Took a while ti find but when we did it was quite exposed TFTC

We found the cache and camo very quickly using a previous cacher's coords. Signed the log and reattached the container to the camo before replacing it. The log is nearly full, sorry we didn't have a replacement with us.
Found only by reading old logs & by the kindness of the previous finder leaving the cache perched off the ground. For something so small with so many potential hiding places good, accurate coords would be great. The log was damp-ish and almost full. Thanks for showing us this cute little park.
Wow, the camo was much bigger than I was expecting. Couldn't sign log. Cache is detatched from camo and just resting in an obvious place. I took a photo which I obviously won't post on here! Thanks for the cache Barnzy12.
Another quick and easy find!!!! Well it was on this my third attempt and then only due to the coordinates recommendations provided by Ozcrawl. With the improved numbers it was only a fifteen minute search between showers before finally noting the colour difference of the hide. Good one Barnzy12 but cache is a long way from your GZ numbers. Very pleased to have this one off the list.
Wowee!! That was tough!! Wasnt going to give up though I read previous loggers hints and they helped a lot.. May need to adjust co-ords.. Also needs more paper that's not wet sorry I didn't have any on me.. Thank you very much for my 3rd cache today and my 3rd cache ever!
This cache is not helping my sanity. With revised coords, I'm still failing to find the cache. This is my 3rd DNF. Will seek out some more hints before returning for a fourth time.
Got the hint and finally found the cache. Difficult indeed. Glad to get this one found. TFTC.
Had a decent look taking all hints into account but no luck and this one so close to my house! I'll be back another day.
Half an hour including a phone call to a previous finder and still no joy for me. I've never drunk a cup of coffee in my life so am beginning to wonder whether this is the problem. I'll come back on a weekend when I have more time to search without getting frustrated.
I bought an iced coffee nearby then wandered down for a look for this apparently elusive cache. I worked out roughly where GZ was then looked roughly 8m in each direction following the tips from previous finders. I'd hidden a GA moveable cache near one of the seats here a while back and there is lots of signs of disturbance to the vegetation (cachers searching?) since then. One direction brought no joy but the cache, or more rightly the cache cammo was easily spotted in the other. A hint to others - there's no need to move any veg to find it just be observant and look for something that's not quite right. Like others my eventual GZ was 8m from the given coords. TFTC.

Heading southside for the 3rd day in a row! what's going on?
So after a Birthday lunch we decided to head back and have another look for this cache.
We started at GZ and then just kept casting further and further afield but staying on the path!
Sure enough after a while Mr Felix announced he had the sucker! Nicely done..
Think the difficulty though is not mostly with the cache but with the co-ords, we found it 8mts from our GZ.

What a surprise that there were three finds on this cache in one day after so many DNF's. A cacher who visited after FelixII and prior to us, signed the log with wrong date which confused us about todays date. We had a good idea of what we were looking for although it was a different version of what we had imagined. After coming up with zilch where our gps directed us, we extended our search (7 mts) and spotted the elusive (although not today) camo.

I have visited cache site, it is still there. Have updated the difficulty rating given the amount of DNF's, which I am quite surprised by. Thanks.
DNF. Very frustrating search trying all the obvious. Followed advice and didn't venture into the bushes, however was concerned to find that the bushes around ground zero already appear quite trampled. Before all the grevillias are damaged beyond recovery would advise that the cache description needs to clearly state that there is no need to leave the path (assuming that is the case).
Will be back for another look....

Mrs Felix still working all of Easter, so Mr Felix teamed up with Tanzanite! for an adventurous days caching South of the River!
Unfortunately no luck for us here
Given the mounting DNF's on this cache, it might pay to revisit the co-ords or the difficulty rating?

Out for a day of caching with Mr Felix II and what a dirty and periodically frustrating day it was - luckily for me I had paired up with a buddy who saved my sanity on this most trying of caching days!
Our first DNF for the day and our second cache of frustration, we searched high and low and came up with squat. We ended up picking up our bat and ball and heading off for our next target once we nearly got bowled over by a senior on a gofer. Should have known it was shaping up to be an interesting day at that point!
Will try again another day for this one.

2nd visit and 2nd DNF. Maybe it is in the seat ends but most seem pretty secure. A stick or rock camo cache at the gardens edge? I don't know
Agree with you on one thing...nice small park.
Disagree with the nice quick find part of the description though.
Gave up after about 20minutes since I became pretty suspicious looking after that with a school bus parked nearby.
Any chance of adding a cache description to the existing description so we know what we're looking for? My GZ was a few metres in to the bushes. Prior log suggests it's not in there. I checked all the bench seats and everything seemed securely in tact on them all. The pavement similarly. Nothing stood out in the bushes. Best I wait til some more people find it...surely Chwiliwr will make an appearance soon?

Wasn't really expecting a ftf but was expecting to find it. Too dark and was worried about looking suss.
Found with great difficulty FYI no need to trample the bushes to find this one. Good thing males work better with colours as this camo cache doesn't quite fit in however makes for a very challenging hide! Thanks barnzy12
