Had good look but couldn't find. Hasn't been found for some time so maybe maintenance required or the swan stole it!! Like the sculpture!
Looks like it has been taken away lots of rubbish about. Looked everywhere but nothing.
Same as previous log - searched for a while but couldn't find. The area has been recently flooded which may have disturbed the cache.
Quick find, but felt funny being a middle aged bloke going in to the bushes with all these families around picnicking! Thanks.
Find #167. Out on a ride from Winthrop to Burswood via Perth in some very hot weather! Found the cache quickly. That is one aggressive swan! TNLNSL TFTC
Nice easy location for my very first find. Managed to use the cover of darkness to assist me but I must remember to pack the mozzie repellant for next time. TFTC - Docadoo
I decided to do a bit of riding around the river after work today to pick up a few caches. Parked my bike next to the cache and made an easy find. TFTC
Dropped the better half off at the Burswood for a work function so took the opportunity to looked for some nearby caches while waiting. Lots of people around and a nice spot to watch all the activities on the river.
Thanks ScottyAdamson.
Thanks ScottyAdamson.
Out for a Saturday morning bike ride, picking up a few caches along the way. TFTC
First cache while in Perth on business, tftc. Dropped a TB while there.

Nice quick find was had here. Lucky that bloke stayed still and didn't turn around otherwise he would have seen me. I think the swan had him occupied. TFTC.
A quick find whilst out for an enjoyable stroll along the river. I didn't see the traveller listed as being in this cache.
Brought along my travellers for a visit.

No muggles this time, last time we attempted this cache there was a fisherman and his family camped at GZ. Thanx ScottyAdamson.
Checked the statues up close ans we had only driven past on previous visits to the area. Although there were lots of joggers and cyclist on the nearby path we were able to search undectected to make a quick find.
First official type geo container we have found, good to see! Last time we saw these statues we were not geocachers, so had no idea that something had been hidden nearby. TNLN. Tried to replace some of the camouflage as was getting a bit thin. TFTC Scotty
Popped by this cache a number of months ago in the middle of the night only to find people rummaging through the area (hmmm I wonder...). Was in the area today so I decided to give it a proper go. Had it in had before too long. TFTH
On an early bike tour I planned to pick up some caches.
First time in many many years that I had to drive at the left side, so surviving in traffic was most of the time more challenging then finding the caches
Thanks all for showing me great places here !
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.
[blue]Very nice place at the waterside.[/blue]

A nice quick and easy find.

Sunset got the better of me again. Had to try seeing I was here for another cache anyway. Looking forward to coming back during the day, lived 5 kms from here for 10 years and never ventured to this beautiful spot for a walk!
Came up to Perth to see Annie at the Burswood and stay overnight. Had an hour for a walk before dinner so took the opportunity to pick up a few caches in the process.
An interesting series of sculptures which Mrs K, a teacher, didn't know about but fits well into the curriculum (watch out kids !!). A relatively easy find on the cache, signed log and left a Groundspeak GC which we picked up at the IGD event.
Thanks for the cache ScottyAdamson [^] another interesting piece of Perth found via geocaching.

Stopped in here today on my bike ride, hoping to be the first finder of the new cache, but I was second. I grabbed the Kayak CWG TB. A lovely location on the river! Thanks for the cache, and for replacing it ScottyAdamson!
Ok, back in play and ready to go, complete with a new in-theme sharpener. First to re-find can help themselves to the unactivated travel bug tags within, they've been sitting around my house unused for too long.
Nice cache it was a lovely view of the city at night. Dropped in TB. Thanks for TB we also put some small swaps. TFTH
Found it, well we found a ziplock bag with the cache contents and log in it.
Looks like the cache container has been muggles - there was an entry in the log just before ours by four kids who used real names and claimed they'd discovered this cache.

Was heading in the direction of home when we spotted a cluster of caches at Burswood and we couldn't resist thought it was well after 9pm. This one was a nice quick find as the cache contents were sitting neatly as the base of a tree. Also, looking at the logbook it seems that some muggles (perhaps teens) have come across the cache. Even so we had some great views across the Swan to the city this time of night. Found with Mr CDM261, TFTC.
Cache #2 on my mini marathon morning of caching, while the real Perth marathon is in progress. T GC. TFTC.
Thought we would check this 1 out during a stay at burswood took gc to take over to brisbane left tb to go home somewhere here in Perth
Another spectacular place that I wouldn't have visited if it hadn't been for caching. Thanks for bringing me here. Left a Geocoin that has travelled from England. TFTC.
Almost got attacked by a willy wagtails. Easy find especially after the time I spent "searching" on the first day it was published. Couldn't find the knives. TFTC.
Crowded with muggles when I tried first, so got the burswood bridge cache in the meantime. Easily found then, logged and enjoyed the beautiful view and the nice warm afternoon sun for a while. TFTC
Nearly muggled by dog swimming by after a stick. Nice easy find second for the day. Riding around the area while car is being service
Had to come back on a weekday for this one, too many people on the weekend! TFTC!
Accompanied with Everlasting for the day. She found it before me. Thanks for bringing us to the nice area and the cache.
Nice structure and nice path - alot muggles for a walk etc... With Varuna. Thanks ScottyAdamson.
11:12 - 2nd one for the day w/ Team Squirrel W.A. of the Squirrel Conglomerate. GeoSon came in handy as stealth was needed as it was muggle-heavy this morning.
A nice quick find while the Baby Dragons kept lookout for the multitude of gardeners working around Burswood today. Thankfully none came near and I was well out of sight.

Whiskers the Cat seems to have left the cache as he was nowhere to be found.
PS. If you park near this cache, it's probably not a good idea to leave your car alone for too long. We spent an hour wandering around Burswood and GO Edwards park only to come back and find that the car window had been smashed

Unfortunately I could not attend the Geo Event, that was being held just a stones throw from this Cache this very morning, but I did make it down here in the afternoon and grabbed the Cache after a visit to the Burswood Theatre.
Great spot, with some fantastic pieces of art all along the river front.

Found while waiting for the fun to start at the Families Week Geocacing Event. We accompanied Ethanolshaunasheep and his brothers to the cache where they made a quick find. Left a Black Swan pathtag. Thanks for the cache ScottyAdamson.
After the disappointment of being first to DNF the first incarnation of this cache I stopped by today on my way to the geocaching event for an easy find. TFTC.
tftc sl. quick find on the way to event cache ,
easy find after cache owner was watching the area for the cache newby's.

Well, we just couldn't help ourselves except to have a go at this one while waiting for the event to commence today. TFTC ScottyAdamson.
Found whilst attending the Families Geocache event. We were on our bikes and headed out to the 2 furthest caches before the fun began.
Managed to stop off here and sign the log before the 'Muggles' came running by! Picked up GC.
Nice to meet the CO on the way around later on my bike!

Found just after the event. Lovely spot, easy find. If I were a swan I would definitely hang out around this place. TFTC
In the park for the Geocaching event, took the opportunity to grab this cache. Who should be standing near the GZ but the CO, also helping out with the event.

Nice to meet you, and thanks for the cache. A lovely spot in the park

Another one of our finds after the Event cache today. A good location. We hope it doesnt float away on a high tide.
Great location for a cache, nice and private from passers by, great sculptures, and of course our magnificent Swan River as a back drop. Loved the pencil sharpener too! Thanks for the cache ScottyAdamson.
Here for the Geocaching Family Fun Day. Like most of us, did a bit of 'real caches' on the side. TFTH.
Quick find out on the geobike however if the tide gets much higher the cache may get washed away, it is only 50 - 100mm above the highest tide this week
