I'm no longer able to maintain this cache so hopefully someone else will use the area to place a better cache.
Looks like recent fire end lots of wood has been chopped. Worth checking by owner.
Looks like cache has gone due to recent trees being chopped down. So couldn't find it
Couldn't find it
Searched everywhere
A lot of kids playing in the forest area so we had to make a run for it
Please check the cache out

Location looks like a popular hangout for the rebels at ocean reef high school. Looked everywhere, GPS was confused so no find for me.
Another full day of Geocaching With Mr Drovers today to finish the area we didn't cover last Monday. It is a beautiful day and lots of great hides along the way. TFTC
Another enjoyable day, caching with JacobsCrew.
We headed to the north of Perth, where we visited lots of
local urban parks & bushland, with a good variety of hides.
Thanks for the cache, Teh Goast Ryder.

Found after a day at a the beach, container full of water! Unable to sign, TFTC!
Found while exploring the area on a lovely afternoon. Thanks for the hide. Brought my rellies down to show them how to use their app on this cache too so hopefully they'll be hooked on geocaching.
Quick find while out on a morning bike ride before the heat sets in
Could not sign the log as the rot has set in, Had a scrounge in the cache bag but had nothing to replace with, Note to self re stock caching bag

The better half and I were out for a drive north of the river and made this our last cache before we headed home again. Gz was a bit out but still a quick find.
Thanks for the cache.

Lots of muggles and dogs in the park today but no one paid any attention to our search. GZ could really do with a massive cito and there has obviously been one hell of a party there. Found with iluvtrekking after an intensive search.
On my way home from performing some minor maintenance on my own cache, so I dropped in to look for this one.
Found it fairly quickly even with a group of muggles near by training their pooches. Hid behind the tree.
The locals youth don't seem to have much respect for the area. A couple of obvious spots where they congregate and leave their litter. Could be a good spot for a CITO.

Dropped my daughter off at a friends birthday party nearby so had a couple of hours to kill. Spent a few minutes wandering around in the bushes, although now I've read the previous logs I was probably in the wrong spot.
Quiet late afternoon with a few muggles around only. Little wizard found it. The cache is covered well once again.
Went looking for this yesterday and in spite of 1/2 hour search aroud and in a scruffy tree with plenty of satelites to confirm position on Garmin 76CSX just couldnt find it. Got a few scratches and disturbed a loooong dark brown worm like thing AGHHHHHHH. Kiwi birds like eating worms but that one wanted to eat me ....Homesick Kiwi ran outa the bushes and back home after that!!!!
Got home and re-red logs.... There would appear to be a discrepancy of up to 5Mtrs between those using GPSr and Iphone. Went back this morning armed with hunches as I realised Co-ords are out and thort " to stay away from snakes, where would I hide it?" Found straight away and no bushcrashing involved! TFTC Muzza.

I parked the car near the cache, but on the wrong corner, so had to come through the bushes to get to GZ. Then the GPS wanted me in the trees, and kept bouncing around between about 3 or four trees. After searching for a while I checked the hint, and then re-checked the same trees that the GPS was bouncing around, but didn't find the cache.
I expanded my search, and eventually found the cache in a much easier spot than where the GPS had been sending me! Thanks for the cache Teh Goast Ryder!

Stopped to grab this one before heading off to pick up the kids from school. Stood right next to it initially but GPS said to go further. About to give up as school pick time was looming when I spotted it, RIGHT next to where I started! Tftc.
Found this one together with Swismiss10. I had two young boys with me who found their first cache. They were excited and will be future geocachers for sure. TFTC
First find of the new year!! Mr spent quite some time hunting in the bush before Mrs came along (after playing with the kids in the playground) and found it immediately!

A quick find while out munzee hunting with CrazyLadyLisa.
Thanks for the cache.

Worst muggling EVER! GPS is bouncing around all over the place, but that's ok I thought, the park's deserted and I'm in the bush anyway. All of a sudden this guy pops up out of nowhere and asks what I'm doing. Turns out he's a teacher from across the road and tells me that I shouldn't be hanging around here because kids have been smoking illicit substances in this area and police are involved and I don't want to be implicated.
Needless to say a DNF this time

Arrived near GZ and realised that there were a load of muggles around the area that made it impossible to do a search so left this one for another day.
After a long hunt in the bushes getting all scratched up was for nothing
iPhones wernt very accurate on this one

GPS originally took us into the trees and it was quite dismaying to see the amount of rubbish in there. Bit of a case of another park, another bong. Can't believe how many we've come across. Thanks, a quick find once the GPS settled.
Beut muggle free morning. GPS took me to within 30cms of this well placed cache. TFTH
IPhone GPS bang on but scrounged around for 30mins with no luck. First geocache attempt.
Was close by at another Cache last night, but I just didn't have time to look for this
one as I was on route for work, so decided to return in the morning on route home
after my night shift.
Only had my iPhone with me, but it did the job perfectly and took me straight to the cache.
This is a great open space, I use to come every Sunday for two years, when my dogs were pups for
the dog training classes http://www.joondalupdogtraining.com.au/ lots of fun and all ran by volunteers etc.
Cheers for the cache.

Nice quick find had to dodge the council workers. While getting close to cache to snatch it from its hiding place. Used full stealth to replace. TFTC.
I was sitting at home, trying to motivate myself to get out to the supermarket, when this cache was published! So of course I grabbed the GPSr and the shopping list and off I went.
Found the cache signed the log and headed off to do the grocery shopping. **FTF** 10.30am
