Nearly fell in the drink as I reached for this one! Rocks very slippery. TFTC

Cool cache.

Spent 40 min did not find
Feel defeated

Found during my walk around the river. Very nice cache, thank you.

Great hide as usual was ready to give up but came up with the goods

Nice quick find

TFTC duck

Found this with Kooksta and RPrincess. The jetty is blocked off as part of it is damaged. We still had a quick look and came up with the goods. Another great hide sir, well done!

TFTC

The tide was up and while we waited for the GPSr to settle a read of past logs. We did wonder if we needed to get wet or not and the T rating suggested no. A look n a few spots and then we found the well camoed hide. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC. A fav pt from us

Even though the jetty is closed off we managed to find the cache, I was looking on the wrong side before switching over and coming up with the goods. Luckily we managed to stay dry, Signed the log and returned as found.

You may have to disable this cache until the jetty is repaired.

Out with hhheddy. Luckily we managed to stay dry, despite high tide.
NOTE: the jetty is closed for repairs, CO may wish to consider disabling this cache temporarily?

The jetty seems to be under repair and is cordoned off!

Found with big brother, Jackylegs44, tftc sl tnln. Fp

Australia Day - perfect day for caching in Perth. Initially had issues with parking due to everyone enjoying the water activities but then we found a spot. So far we could take the car with us along our planned caching route which was good as it was getting very hot very quickly but then we had to take the next available park which was 2,3 km from where our next cache was. Well never mind, armed with water and everything else we started hiking.

So many different possible hiding spots hmm. GPS said we are right on top of it...head scratch...a muggle standing at the end of the jetty occupied with watching someone else jetskiing so we were uncompletely undisturbed. It wasn't until geoP got his feet wet (haha) that he came up with the goods.
Sneaky hide! tftc sl tnln

Came back to claim the find for this one. Pretty easy as it was in the wrong way around. Tftc

Out for a day or 2 of geocaching with Geo-parents AUS Vrede. We were going to go south but the fires put paid to that so headed north to Perth for a day of "duck hunting" and a very enjoyable day was had discovering the ingenuity of duck_43. Slow and steady and a fair amount of perseverance paid off with all caches attempted found including a couple that had eluded us previously.

Got my feet and pants wet seeking this one. Once in the correct place it was obvious as it was sticking out of its hide. Signed log and replaced so not as obvious and hopefully as designed.

Thanks for the cache duck 43 [^] - cache was good and dry.

This was cache # 4 of 11 and 0 today for a total cache count of 2901.

Very Good Camo
A quick find here
Thanks for cache

I sat down while hubby got wet. Haha great hide and nice shady spot.

On a jaunt with WAK Team. Took some finding. M. got wet. Clever disguise. TFTC

Nice easy find.

We are in Perth for a few days so decided to go and find some caches as we usually do when travelling. There are so many to choose from we utilized GSAK to determine the caches with the most favourite points. It turns out that the caches by duck 43 are the ones to find. Armed with all the info we needed we headed out with some excitement. We were definitely rewarded with some of the best hides we have ever seen.

We managed to find this one quickly after getting a bit of a hint from the cache description. Deserves a favourite point from us for the clever hide and that we have a very similar hide ourselves. TNLNSL TFTC.

The Machman and I had been planning another assault on the Duck43 caches for some time. Well finally the day arrived and we planned to meet at 6am to see how many we could get done, plus any other nearby caches and a few puzzles solved prior.

Well, by 4pm we had 37 finds and no DNF .. a pretty good effort!

Some caches took a good 10min or so to find but most we had tracked down in only a couple of minutes. As usual your caches were of a very high calibre and we were constantly commenting on your ingenuity.

Thanks for continually raising the bar in cache hides in Perth. It's always a high point in my geocaching to spend time in Duck43 territory.

Couldn't find this one when I was last here in November last year, but had it found in under 2min this time around. TFTC.

Woohoo!! Got this one!

The jetty was not under water today, yay, but I did have fishing muggles turn up right before me at GZ, d'oh. However, they were not very interested in what I was doing, so I was able to have a good look around, and managed to find this one.

Another fun and interesting cache, thanks duck 43!

TFTH got my feet wet which cooled me off a bit. Great cache

Magpie51's turn to take the shoes and socks off! Things you do for a smilie! Bravely dodging the jellyfish we heard the "got it" cry and a hand was extended up from underneath with the prize! TFTC another favourite point!

Another awesome geocash between thank you

Wet sneakers, bloody arm from a slippery rock but cache in hand tftc

A very devious hide by duck43, TFTC

Had a friend in town and promised him a caching run so a loop of the canning was decided upon, so with kb in tow we spent an afternoon on the bikes.

another amazing camo!!
tftc

Caching with Col117 and KB today on bikes, did a trip round the water. Great route with great views and superb caches. A quick find for Col117, TFTC.

Back today for another search. Was a bit easier as the water wasn't so high today and we could have a better look around. Still don't know how we missed it the first time we were here, but such is the nature of Duck43 hides. Happy to have turned this one into a smiley TFTC

Can't believe it. Found a Duck in about 60seconds flat. New world record for us!!! Hahaha this one was awesome. Very sneaky and I have one wet sneaker LOL.
Fav from us thanks Mr Duck

Wholey Moley. As always we were ready to leave and give up when we checked the coordinates again to try to get closer to gz. Bingo! We also put a pen in it.

No luck here today we will be back

Originally found under family caching name clan-wallace, now re logging under own name.

Cunning hide found by Geohubby.

What started out as attempting a couple of duck caches on the Saturday, turned into a three day bender of duck hunting. Decided to come back up on the Sunday to tackle some of the caches along the river in Applecross. Then conveniently my car went in for service in Vic Park on the Monday, so that equalled more duck hunting while waiting for the car. Still plenty more to find even after the three day bender, can't wait to come back to find more!

This one was another awesome duck cache situated on a jetty. Was quite a hard find, we scoured the jetty for it. Eventually one of the team found the sneaky little bugger. What a clever container, very well camouflaged. TFTC

Searched for this one for a while but couldn't find it. Will come back.

This was made even more tricky by the presence of an oriental chap fishing on the end of the pier. Muggle Hubby spent some time peering into the water as I did the usual photography shoot. Eventually he found this very cleverly concealed cache and was able to spirit it away for me to sign and sent me to distract the fisherman while he replaced it.
The fisherman asked what my husband was looking for and I told him we had heard there were dolphins around here. He laughed and said they would not be so close but he had seen two last week, further out.
I thanked him and left him to ponder upon the stupidity of crazy tourists!
Thanks for the cache and the entertainment - worth a favourite point from us for finding our first duck cache.

Find 2 of 26 on a super bike ride around the Deep Water Point inlet in the company of ask277 and our geokids.

The description told us what we were looking for and ask277 again came up with the find in short order.

TFTC duck 43!

I started geocaching on 22nd June 2014 and one of my goals was to find 1,000 caches before 22 June 2015. I decided today was the day to reach this milestone and I decided I wanted to find a bunch of duck43 caches to mark this occasion. So, I met up with olthomas clan, we unloaded our bikes and began our journey around the Canning River. It was a perfect day to find some cleverly disguised Duck43 caches and this was a great one to start with. I was happy to find this cache reasonably quickly, especially in the presence of the legendary geocache finders Mr & Mrs olthomas. Log signed, cache replaced and off to the next one. 14 to go. Tftc duck43.

Epic fail you pwned us n00bs... You are only as good as your next find. Twice I have been here with previous finders and twice I have failed. The cache hide must be very very good.

Great hide as usual but was lucky to finally nail this one. TFTC!

Found it!

Tftc

Headed out this morning before the cricket to grab a few extra smilies and decided to cross off a few of the ducks that I missed last time I was here. This was one I had missed last time, so this time I was determined to cone away with a smilie. It only took a matter of minutes. Somehow I missed that last time...another quality Duck43 cache. TFTC.

I'm so glad this was a reasonably fast find, all the angles I was looking on was using muscles I didn't know my abdomen had. Loron looked right past this one, lucky she has a helpful GC buddy to help her with what she overlooks.

Thanks Duck

Elrin got this one moments after I'd been looking in exactly the same spot. Our third duck-jetty hide in the same day, I think it helped we had a pretty good idea of where we should be looking and what we should be looking for. Surprisingly quick, this one!

Thanks for the cache

Tftc

Out walking the dog. Will need to return at a later date with a pen.
TFTC

This was our favourite cache for the day. A very long search uncovered this extremely clever camo, I wonder if it used to be part of the jetty.... TFTC, I dont think I need to say it but i will anyway. Have a fave....

TFTC duck 43. Brilliant cache. Took some finding.

Took as a while but we eventually found it. The clue helps too much.

Another well camo'd cache, how satisfying!

Definitely one for the little guys. TFTC

Ok had a bit of a look but too many fishing muggles. tftc. Will be back.

After an unsuccessful visit 2 weeks ago , we returned with the kids. Smaller people was a good idea. Another ingenious Duck cache

Tftc

An ingenious cache, fits right in

TFTH

Out on a caching run with the Machman. Decided the night before to meet up and start our lap of the bridge at Deep Water Point. Headed South from here then back up along the freeway before returning. Good day for me with 25 finds and only 2 DNF's.

First DNF of the day .. couldn't find this one anywhere.

Another interesting cache, tftc duck43!

Found it with BissraFranky. Nice hidden one. Descriptions and hits help. Luckily we didn't get wet because of the low tide. TFTC Duck

Typical duck challenge. Nice work. Found in 2nd try.

Cool hide, nice camp
Log could do with a bit of a refresh, a bit soggy...
TFTC

Tftc. Found with my nephew Rio and Gradpa.

We will return!

Found it on an early morning bike ride. There was nobody on the jetty and few walkers on the path, probably because of the looming storm. That helped the search. A quick find mainly because I started looking in the right areas. This is a very well camouflaged cache. I wish I could find all duck43 caches this quickly. Thanks for the cache.

This one took some searching. And a hint from a friend about always reading descriptions helped - although it still tool a while to find! Hahah but I signed the log and thats all that matters tftc!

Found what looked like the remnants of the spot.

Found what looked like the remnants of the cache

Headed out this morning to grab as many of the caches around the river as we could. Goorjus69 and I parked at the southern end of the Mt Henry bridge and we were joined halfway around by T-Mack2. Very enjoyable morning out on the bikes, I found 18 with 3 DNFs. This was one of the DNFs. Found a very likely Duck43 spot, but it was without a cache attached. This one may need checking - or I need to work on my duck hunting skills. TFTC duck 43

No luck

Thought we found it but we duck. Cool spot though

Log was wet so geopal replaced and put log in plastic bag. Great hide. TFTC

Nice hide log wet have put in temp log in a bag

Great childhood memories of this bridge. Growing up on Gunbower Rd spent many afternoons fishing and jumping of the end. TFTC

Another great hide

Took us quite a whilw but eventually found it! Good one!

Took a thorough search but had it in our hands finally. Log was wet so we dried it out in the car before returning. Thanks.

Got a little wet here but found the cache...TFTC

Will try again one day when the water level is lower.

Rode past the jetty today and decided to re-find this one. Log is wet, I've resecured it best I could

Out for a bit of fresh air, getting the kids off the ipads, this one was fairly easy. Had a chat to a couple of friendly fishermen. Unlike us, they didn't seem to be finding what they were looking for. Nice one Mr Duck.

TFTC. Afternoon Walk Around the Bay

Out with the geokids... Couldn't find :/ better luck

Fun find tftc

Fun find tftc

Tricky cache!! Didn't take us too long. Thanks

Another clever hide - thanks!

The sneaky signature white tube. classic.

I think I'm getting the idea of these caches. Will be back. TFTC

Found it

Quick find by @edwardshaddow. Tftc.

A very fast find by edwardshadow despite a local fisherman in the area. Thanks for another great duck cache.

Actual ducks!

Second duck find for the day. Feeling good tftc

Found it!
