Headed out with skippy 46 for a day of caching. The curtin University caches have been on my to do list for a while now and as it was a sunday it was the ideal day to do them with not to many muggles around. I had already worked out how to get in the garden and with no one around the container was quickly found. TFTC Nature Play WA

Out with ooh yeh for some Sunday caching at Uni in the hope that it would be quieter with less muggles to keep an eye on.

A nice easy find without a soul to be seen. Lots of lovely plants here, I refrained from peeing on the lemon tree, only because I am female and the sign was for the men

Another find during the walk through the Curtin grounds with WebblyWA. This multi gave us good exercise as we walked right around, only to come back to a possible way into GZ. Another read of the cache info helped.
Enjoyed visiting the area before getting to GZ, and reading the various and sometimes humorous signs.
A quick find here rewarded this enjoyable Multi, thanks Nature Play and a fave from me.

Stopped off here on our hunt around Curtin uni with m4yb. What a great multi, had to have a re read before I finally got it.
Enjoyed the walk around the garden and loved all the signs, the lemon tree made me giggle. I Made the quick find after negotiating the deserted garden. TFTC Nature Play.

Came to the gate, just as a group of students rocked up. They opened the gate for me and we all went in - and while I tried to quickly have a look for the treasure, they all followed me for an intro meeting of some sort... well, I decided to abandon the search in favour of the caches integrity so had to call it a dnf Sad maybe better luck next time?!

Yay. Thanks for the cache. First find ever. Took a while though as phone GPS was very inaccurate. I'm going to be hooked

Thanks.

TFTC. The uni has changed a lot since graduating in '91.

Heading home from the Uni I stop off for this one. Amazing what you find at Universities. Past through WP1 which out any trouble. No gardeners about today, headed to GZ and signed the log.

Thanks Nature Play WA for the cache.

Decided to come and have a go at this interesting looking multi this afternoon. Wasn't sure what to expect but I was confident that I had the correct information to be able to make a good fist of it.

Arrived at the gate and was through without too much trouble at all. Plugged the next co-ords into the GPSr and ended up going around in circles for a bit. Had a peek at the hint which put me on the right track and I uncovered the cache a short time later.

I felt quite privileged to be wandering around this area, loved the little signs around the place. Awarding a favourite here for an original idea in a very nice location.

Nature Play WA I found your cache at 4:54pm, this was the 1st of 2 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2130. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

On the way home, I decided to drop past here and have a look at this one.

Got past the gate easy enough but couldn't find the cache initially. Another read of the description and hint and I looked in another place and found the prize. Signed log and replaced.

I'm Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at WA GOES BIG IN 2015, in Busselton.

Gate was open so it was easy to get in. The gardeners didn't seem to mind us and we found the cache quickly. A great garden.

Nice place for a hide. Really cool garden

Found on an early morning bike ride. A few people about but none were taking any notice of me as a glided up on my bike to the gate, opened the padlock and stealthily searched for the hidden cache. Found it in no time at all. Thanks for the cache. It is in good shape.

Tftc... we felt like trespassers. But it was a lovely garden.

fun cache. very water logged. needs drying out.

In the area today to tackle the roymerc caches and realised this one was so close. Just couldnt leave without having a go.

Didn't take too long to suss out what was required.

Unfortunately the cache was open and FULL of water. We tipped the water out and dried it as best we could but the tag from the stamp is detached as the cord had rotted and the log is almost papermache.

Interesting spot.

Looking forward to meeting other cachers at WA goes BIG in 2013 - GC45X55

Found the cache open. Seems to be something wrong with it. It's really really difficult to close. Maybe the hinge is out of alignment or something.

Log is completely sodden and needs drying or replacing. Surprised

Took advantage of geobuddy Mark's offer to go caching with me today. Danged thing wouldn't work for me, so geobuddy gave it try and bingo, worked for him. Guess I wasn't holding my tongue right or something. Quick find once we got through the gate though. Great garden too. Thanks NaturePlayers

Great little exclusive garden. Easy find. I really like these NaturePlayers caches.

I figured this one out a while ago, but on our previous attempt, there were other people around, so we decided not to attempt it. I came back again with my brother, and this time we were able to find the cache without any problems. TFTC

lovely idea and a brilliant place for a cache. TFTC!

Loved the cache in a nice pleasant spot. Never knew the community gardens existed. Left a hair lucky and took barry bug.

I came here on Christmas day and all the entries to Curtin were blocked off to cars, so I parked a little further away and walked over. Unfortunately I couldn't open the gate, despite putting in the code as described in the description. I was going to post a note to say had the code been changed, but I saw the hint about the gate, and understood what I needed to do.

Today I came back and was able to park right outside the gate, and had the right entry code this time, and was soon inside the beautiful garden. I love growing things you can eat and there were a lot of cool things growing in here, I had a great time looking around both on my way to and back from the cache.

I found the cache without problems, a nice hide. Thanks for the fun cache NaturePlayers!

Been meaning to have a look at this one for a while, since it is close to home and sounded interesting. It was a fun place for our 2yo geograndson, who loved the interesting windmills, insects and to see vegies growing.Easy parking and easy find. Took TB travel racer. TFTC

Out at Curtin this morning so I stopped by to make a quick find here. SL TFTC
 
31-Aug-12
On the way back from Vic Park. Had a spare 15 minutes. Would that be enough time? Would I find it? Already had 2 DNFs today, that wasn't fun.

Almost got stumped at the first challenge. Tried the correct approach before I read the clue. Yes, I know, if all else fails then read the instructions!

Lovely little pocket garden in the middle of a big Uni campus.

Thanks for bringing me here.

TFTC.

Visiting Curtin for the Chem Centre Open Day. After trying liquid nitrogen icecream and pretending to understand how argon contributes to plasma weighing atoms we found this multi with a difference most enjoyable and well kept. But so sorry....discovered when we got home that I had taken the pen with me. Oops. I owe you a pen NaturePlayers. Red Face

Went here after a filling lunch with a couple friends who found it the other day (They sat there while I looked for it though!). Nice to discover such a mysterious magical place and fun walking through to find the cache Smile

After attempting several variations and alignments we finally passed the first hurdle. Locating the cache was then quickly acheived. We appreciated the nearby seat which was utilised while signing the logbook. This has been a throughly enjoyable cache. Loved it!!

This certainly is one contrary Miss! Although it was drizzling we found the correct combination quickly and thereafter a very welcome smiley was added to our score. We stayed a few minutes to admire the horticultural efforts before darting back to the shelter of our car to head home southwards.

We enjoyed your multi so amazing to see it - good one. Signed the log. Thanks NaturePlayers.

09-Jul-12
*FTF* just before dusk after doing a number of caches to the north and east of the city. Trust BL to make it harder than normal but I was soon through the gate and found a blank log. Left the prize for the first child finder and dropped in a TB that I thought was appropriate for this cache. I liked having somewhere to sit and do the log near GZ.

Thanks for the cache.
