Found about thirty metres away as I rode past this morning. Replaced to where it should be so good to go.
Decided to start this series today as it was nice and cool weather. This was a fairly easy find. TFTC.
This is my 997 find.
Thank you ChrisRG for placing and maintaining this cache.
Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!
Had a choice between two places where the cache should be and each of us took one to search.
I picked right and had the cache in hand quickly.

A quick check of the map this afternoon had SirFancy and I deciding to head up South Lake way tonight to try our luck for some finds around the place.
The walk along the freeway to get some Periodic Table caches proved a little harder to access than we first envisioned but we made our way to the path eventually.
Once finished along the freeway we picked and chose some challenges and puzzles before turning for home.
Pleased with the night out that netted us 13 finds and 0 DNF’s.

Road still under repair. Estimated time to finish on the notice board is early 2020
No change. GZ is fenced off due to on-going construction; and therefore unavailable to any new cache even if this one were to be archived. Note we are keeping an eye on this and other disabled caches along the freeway cycle path, with aim to replace & re-enable as soon as is practical.
Road works are still being carried out and the cycle path is still closed. The completion date at this stage is late 2019
###UPDATE###
I checked on these this morning and found that work will be carried out on the section south of here very soon. Completion of the path north of here is scheduled to be completed in June 2019 here is the extract from the Main Roads Website.
*Construction of the northern PSP has commenced between Bolderwood Reserve and Farrington Road and is scheduled for completion in June 2019. Construction on the southern section between Russell Road and Bolderwood Reserve will start on the 10 December 2018 and is expected to take 12 months to complete.*

This cache is being disabled until December 2018 because from 12 November 2018, the second phase of a series of cyclist detours will commence to allow the construction of the Kwinana Freeway Northbound Widening project between Russell Road and Farrington Road. Upon completion, the project will deliver extra northbound lanes, noise walls, and upgrades to the Principal Shared Path along the western side of this section of Freeway.
Found the cache with no luck. Recycled one from a cache I replaced earlier and put the log book in a zip lock bag.
Decided to use the beautiful day to knock off some of the periodic table series, that has long been on my to do list. Cheers for the cache.
Today we wanted to start this series. Finally a nice weekend to do so. Thanks for the nice trip and this series which is hard to maintain. Had a lot fun with The-Shredder. TFTC
Anticipating nearby construction may soon close/detour the bike path...

Logging this real late as baby brain is really taking over.
Out with Thro60clan to collect a bunch of caches.
Lonewolf has located the cache before she even hit gz. Coords look a bit out on my map though. Tftc

Out on a cold wet night with thronsy.4 collecting some smilies along the P table.
Lonewolf ran ahead with Spectator2 and had this one before we could catch up

We have made it our mission to complete the current souvenir challenge, so today decided to make a long walk up the freeway to collect as many of these caches in this series as possible. Nice quick find, log signed and cache replaced as found. Find #9 for us today. TFTC
Out and about with Neva2old to continue on the periodical table as well as others close by, another productive day today and smilies were added TFTC
Met up here with Parkacruz after I had finished of a series by Granett that was nearby. Had to do a little car shuffling so we could have one at the start and one at the end of todays caching, happy to say that we managed the periodic series and few others close by with no dnf's. So another productive day. tftc
Out for another cycle so saw some caches along the way which made for easy stops. Thanks
#8 really left out in open. This would have been muggled so have put back with care.
Another one found by GeoDaughter.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thought we'd take advantage of the nice autumn day today and make a start on this series. We had to watch out for packs of older cyclists in yellow jerseys, some of who were a bit rude! We also found that most of our DNF's were located in areas where Muggles tend to walk the path. It was a good day out which started out with us riding from our home to Warnbro Station and getting off at Bull Creek where we rode to Mt Henry Bridge to start from the beginning. We then rode to Cockburn Central collecting finds along the way and decided to stop here as the GeoKids were a combination of hangry and tired. Had something to eat (at 4pm!) and jumped on the train back to Warnbro Station. Our caching ride took us 4 hours. We had 29 and 7 DNF . We will endeavour tackle the next part once the the kids can be convinced to go out again LOL! Thank you for the series!

No luck with this one, I'm afraid. Not in the obvious location. Did spot one hidden container, but after grabbing it, realised it was an old sock!
I was in the area today, and so I decided that I would have a go at tackling this cache. This was one DNF that I had to hunt for again. I got to GZ and made a surprisingly quick find. TFTC
BlaKids, I found your cache ‘Cobalt (27) - Periodic Table’ today. It was the First find of two finds for me today and brings my total count to 788. The cache was found in a good condition so I added my signature to the log book and I replaced it as I found it. Thank you for the cache, the hide and for bringing me to this location.

Out with geogypsys for another great day of caching. Must have planned this well, coming up from Busselton to do these this weekend - the coolest weekend for a while.

Thank you! Decided to start the Periodic Table series today, and ended up riding from Canning Bridge station to Cockburn station. Found this one without too much trouble.
Today it is not too hot, so we are able to ride with the bicycle along the Highway. We can nearly find all the caches in few minutes.
Thank you for all caches say Moorhelmi

Found Cobalt (27) - Periodic Table. When I alighted from my bike, I already knew where to look and surely there it was . SL TFTH BlaKids.
Enjoyed the couple of hours on the hunt for Periodic Table Caches. Thanks BlaKids
I have been looking at the periodic table series of caches for some time now. Since I have decided to complete a challenge I need the numbers hence the reason for the run today. I took the day off work and co=opted a couple of fellow cachers, Lazarus_68 and Dezzabills. I thought a couple of days would finish the series off, So today we set off early on our pushbikes with the idea of completing as many as we could manage. As it turns out we made it all the way to the end. We were very fortunate to find the caches quicker than expected. So to sum up the day we found 117 caches in the periodic table and a couple of extras along the way giving me a grand total of 119 for the day. Not bad if I say so myself, and surprisingly there were no DNF's so all in all a great day. The ride down from home in Como took us 6 hours and 58 minutes. While my fellow cachers took the train home I toughed it out and rode home in just over 2 hours. We stopped several times down and back for a break and a bite to eat to refuel the bodies.
This was the 28th find of 119 for the day and was found at 10:04AM Thanks BlaKids/loubla for the cache. hhheddy
