Wow really sorry, could have sworn I temporarily disabled this last week! The cache will be back up and running in a better form within a couple of days Smile
 
15-Aug-15
Decided to archive this to make a better cache...
 
31-Jul-15
Another failed attempt today. I really think this one needs to be checked.
 
26-Jun-15
We have searched for this one 3 times in recent months & we don't seem to be the only ones who cannot find it. Please could the CO check on it?
 
05-Mar-15
Unfortunately I couldn't find it either today....seems to be a few missing around these parts at the moment. ..I'll keep looking
 
04-Jan-15
Now the CO is back from his travels could he check on this one too, please.
 
02-Nov-14
The start of a bike run in the bush around Rockingham, very disappointed with our first one being a DNF, probably even spent too much time there. Thanks anyway.
 
02-Nov-14
Not a good start to our day! After getting off the train with our geobikes, this was out first stop before tackling the Reserve. Looked everywhere with no luck, maybe it's gone, maybe we didnt have out caching eyes going... Will be back!
 
05-Sep-14
Nice hide TFTC
 
31-Aug-14
Yay! First one Smile
 
31-Aug-14
Second time here and I spent about 15 minutes searching many nooks and crannies and even going down to see if I could spot it from below. Then I read a previous log and decided to check a place that I had noticed and dismissed when I arrived at GZ ... doh, there was the cache. Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Maccasreps.
 
27-Aug-14
Easy spot
 
27-Aug-14
Gps acctually worked
 
20-Aug-14
Couldnt find it at all Sad
 
23-Jun-14
After walking through a very large spiderweb this little lady ran away screaming and decided NOT to do this cache! I may try again with someone not so afraid!
 
05-Jun-14
Quick find, as I was ruling out all of the 'really obvious' places before trying the 'obvious' ones. TFTC.
 
05-May-14
Looked for a while but couldn't find it. Hoping to go back soon and try again.
 
24-Apr-14
A tough little sucker to find. Thankfully GZ was deserted so I could search until it was located. Thanks Maccasreps.
 
18-Apr-14
Just relogging under a new account. Signed log under an old account of dcorunna on this day
 
18-Apr-14
That was the best find yet. Enjoyed the hunt Smile
 
18-Apr-14
Gees I was blind on this one, but Becalicious1 saved the day!
 
28-Mar-14
I parked at the train station in the hopes of walking to the Lake Cooloongup, but after crossing the railway bridge, I figured that wasn't going to work out so well. Lucky there was this cache easily at hand, so the walk wasn't for nothing. TFTC Maccasreps

TFTC Maccasreps. Just knew that it had to be there somewhere. Clever hide. Smile Had come across this type before. Unfortunately the log was full so could not sign it. Sad Will write a note.
 
24-Nov-13
The log is full, needs replacing. The previous finder noted that too!

Looked high, looked low it was nowhere to be found
 
Found it!
 
25-Aug-13
A drive through a part of Rockingham we had not seen before. We parked close to GZ and walked up to find the cache. GPS took a while to settle but once it had, this was a quick find. Geoson walked into the spiders webs and nearly had a heart attack Surprised
 
25-Aug-13
Nearly walked into a bunch of Golden Orbs. Nice easy find. TFTC Maccasreps.
 
22-Aug-13
On approaching this object I would normally give a long groan of misery ... a nano here! However what would usually have probably been a very long search was dramatically cut by being in company with a previous finder. Smile
Thanks for the cache Maccasreps.
 
21-Aug-13
Found with J+J.au while on a caching holiday to WA. Greetings from N.S.W. SL..TFTC
 
21-Aug-13
Took us while to locate, maybe a bit of cache creep. TFTC
 
13-Aug-13
TFTC. GOOD HIDE.
 
23-May-13
Out caching with 1Qseeker. Found this in a couple of minutes once the GPs settled. Sneaky hide.
TFTC Maccasreps.
 
23-May-13
Well it wasn't where I looked but it was where the Gypsy looked.

Yess can't believe we found it. Hard place to find.

Only had one muggle nearby when I arrived so waited until he departed and made a quick find.

Thanks Maccasreps for the cache.
 
13-Mar-13
No trains. Bit scarey in early evening with few people about. Found quite easily.
TFTH
 
05-Mar-13
[8(] getting low on light & walked into a giant spiders web while searching so this scaredycat kiwi lass called it a day!
 
24-Feb-13
My GPSr was leading me about 10m away from where I located the cache - which I thought was near a big orb spider in the corner. After some local kids moved on I expanded my search and soon grabbed the cache. TFTC, SL
 
23-Feb-13
# 3 Very Happy, found it, but didnt recognise it at first so put it back and son retrieved it for a closer look. A shared find!
 
23-Feb-13
Very nice little hiding place! Looked at it twice before actually pulling it out and examining it.
 
23-Feb-13
Nice day for a walk so we thought we would go and check this one out. Found after a few minutes. TFTC Maccasreps.
 
22-Feb-13
Another find for me tftc Smile
 
19-Feb-13
Spotted 2 trains. TFTC.
 
07-Feb-13
Out doing morning "mum's free taxi" run with my 2 sons, so was in the area. Our previous attempt was last year, not many caches found then. Easy find today, and armed with a big hint from a friend just in case. SL. Returned as found. Nice hide, TFTC Maccasreps Big Grin
 
06-Feb-13
Found @ 08:38!

Quick find while out caching with 'jasenjanine'!

Find #1 for today and a warm up for our attempts to find 'What The ?' and a few Archived caches in the same park nearby...

Probably the easiest cache of this type I've come across so far - trust the Listed Coordinates!

TFTC!

On a day out out with Geology Boy, and Luna Maya (who was still en route at this stage), we decided to have a go at this one. Master 4 headed straight for the 'trainspotting' ramp while we began our brief search Razz. Luckily for me and after contemplating the options, i trusted the GPS'r and it led me straight to the cache Smile. TFTC Maccasreps Big Grin
 
28-Jan-13
After an extended search, area was very quiet with no muffles, we have to log a DNF Sad GPS on phone couldn't get a good lock, but we'll be back!
 
27-Jan-13
Had a good search, no luck..
 
27-Jan-13
Had a search not found

11.30 - Visiting WA from Cairns for R&R and GCaching. Stationed in Rockingham for our last few days. Really enjoying the 'cooler' weather and the caching challenges here in WA. spotted this one not so kwikly as my GPSr was all over the show. T4TC.
 
02-Jan-13
Our quickest find so far, found it in the first place we looked, read the previous logs and followed the gps to the t and there you go, TFTC
 
31-Dec-12
Found this cheeky nano rather quickly while changing buses. One more cache while vacationing in my home country, welcome from Sweden. TFTC
 
30-Dec-12
Couldn't find it, maybe another day
 
30-Dec-12
After finding this back on Boxing Day I couldn't remember if I actually signed the log. Answer was no too busy sending log through the phone so can officially say I found it and even logged today's date as well thanks again for the cache hide
 
29-Dec-12
I should have trusted my GPS. It was right, but I just couldn't see it.

Step back, think about it, and it was there all the time.

Nice hide.
 
26-Dec-12
Found the sucker t4th
 
21-Dec-12
quick find on way to train......cheers Maccasreps
 
05-Dec-12
Spent a while looking for this but couldn't find it anywhere.
 
First attempt at a cache and did not find!
 
10-Nov-12
So after leaving the By The Numbers event we were to pick up a few caches in Wellard on the way home.

Alas 1 of those caches had the same name as this one so the navigator brought me here!

Lucky for us that meant we got 2 smilies today.

Didn't take long to uncover this cache.

21-Oct-12
We made this so much harder than it needed to be. After expanding our search, I looked in a pretty obvious spot and there it was!
 
21-Oct-12
Found with richlink. Why didn't we look there before?
 
13-Oct-12
An easy find today thanks to accurate coords.

TFTC
 
01-Oct-12
Found it, eventually. Had been a very long day, and I think the brain was a bit befuddled by the time I got here. GPS was telling me fibs too, but I expanded my search and found the little sucker in the end. Thanks Maccasreps
 
30-Sep-12
Went for a walk with the geofamily to find this cache. A good hide and our first micro cache.

TFTC Maccasreps
 
30-Sep-12
Sitting at home on this glorious day and apparently I was getting short with those around me. Geowife offered a solution - get out and find some caches!!

Not needing to be told twice, I was out the door less than 5 minutes later

When this one was published, I was heading out to get some cricket gear in Como so was not too happy that there was a cache less than 3km from home I could not try for the first to find on.

None the less, today I arrived and admired the art work before looking for the goods. A logical place to start was the only one I needed and I was soon signing the log.

Thanks for the cache Maccasreps, I have driven by here before but never actually noticed the art

Cheers Cool

A quick find with OOH YEH.

Happy Birthday OOH YEH, glad to get one cache found on your special day.

TFTH Maccasreps.

As it was my birthday today and skippy 46 was at my house i said to her i have to find at least one cache today. I came to this cache yesterday but couldnt look for it as there was too many people across the road watching what i was doing. Today was a quick find as it was nice and quiet today. TFTC

The second alert for the morning, after the 2TF on the last cache, I was not sure what to expect here. Arrived at the GZ, some muggle kids, again on scooters were riding on the overpass, so a phone call to provide cover, I wandered around the indicated spot, and soon narrowed down the likely hiding spots.

Muggles departed, phone call finished and a check of the spot produced the object of my search. Openned the container and realised I was first. Happy to achieve one *FTF* today. Returned the cache and soon was walking to the car a happy cacher

Thanks Maccasreps for the cache
 
22-Sep-12
Nope, it's a nano, and our GPSr must be out or something. Certainly had a good look and poke around.
