due to cache going missing twice cache is now archived.as the area is reguarly maintained by the shire
Searched but no Christmas present. There has been some new work here which may be an issue. Or perhaps my eye isn't in today? Tftc
We were in the area today and decided that if the area was clear we'd have a go. There was no one around when we arrived so a quick find and sign was completed in short time. Thanks to monf for the cache.
TFTC! Out for an evening drive to cleanup a few caches a little further afield from home to keep the map somewhat cleaned up. Thanks
Out for a drizzly afternoon cache to pick up most caches in Kenwick.
Most were easy finds so ended the day with 11 finds in 1 1/2 hours.

I usually find nano containers hard to find but this one was straightforward and entertaining. Thanks for making a nano a pleasure to find.
Took a drive to the hills, to cache around the Lesmurdie area.
This was a nice easy find, and a cute little cache.
Many thanks for the hunt today, monf.

Ah what a nicely placed For Sale sign which helped with the cover when searching for the cache. Brought my pair of needle nose tweezers and found after a short search. TFTC )
One of the last few close to home that I have resisted from finding, so I would have an easy grab to keep my caching streak alive if I had a day I was unable to get a cache. I ducked out after everyone had gone to bed, a quick easy find without a soul to be seen.
Lucky I had read the previous logs, due to the magnets that log is never going to give up without a tool to coax it out Signed and back in it's hiding hole in a flash.

I found this earlier in the day and had to come back in the evening with a retrieval tool to sign the log. TFTC
On my way home after collecting the geo kids from a play date had to find my cache for the day for the 31 of August. Upon arriving at GZ it was not long till we had the cache in hand TFTC!!
Down in this neck of the woods to attend an intimate to our GeoFriend 'Trevkevred' after paying our respects and chatting to the GeoFriends present Mrs Felix headed off to find a cache to help with the August Souvenir challenge.
Alas she was still a 'tad' upset and had her Geocaching eyes closed. So a first perusal did not turn up the cache.
Well Im not going anywhere else before I join the peak hour traffic to head North, so this cache had better just 'show' itself.
Sure enough on a 2nd glance there it was! How did I miss that the first time. (put it down to being a little upset still) Had to use my wallet swiss army knife to retrieve the log, which worked well again.
Log signed and then a 90+minute drive home in the peak hour traffic (unbelievable)
TFTC Monf. A nice cutie for sure.

GSAGC #652. A cheekily cheap cache container (alliteration unintentioned) An easy find at GZ. TFTH.
[:(!] Went for a morning caching run before heading off to Northam for the afternoon to visit our geograndchildren and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes

The first time I came here to look for this cache I didnt even get out of the car, there were just to many muggles...today there was no muggle in sight and a quick find was made.

Cute. Looked for wrong colour initially but squeaks soon found it (log had been wet & ink smudged) Hold your breathe!
Out on a day of caching with skippy 46, we started off badly getting DNFS but things picked up after that...Cute cache but log was wet. We still managed to sign it but you moght need to replace it TFTC monf
Cute cache, log is wet thru but we were able to get it out and let it dry in the sun on our dash. You may need to have a look at it! TFTH
Accompanied with BruceHoose for the day. The weather is nice day for geocaching, We enjoyed search, found and signed the log at 14.53pm. Thanks monf.
We had a GPS that just wouldn't play the game fairly today but here we had managed to park within 1.5m of the cache and made a quick find. Novel way to position a micro! Good job monf!
Nice little hide on my way home from work at 18:30. With hi-vis clothes on it's easier to get away with looking in strange places, most passer-by muggles take little notice, probably presuming you're a council worker or something similar!
This is the first of monf's caches for me. Thanks monf.

A quick find just after midnight after doing the new cache to the south.
Thanks monf for the cache.
Thanks monf for the cache.
I was initially really worried about the electrical fence. Fortunately I spotted the nice festive cache nearby. Thanks monf.
Quick find for the last of the day....now for the ride home, at least I had a good following wind...cheers monf
Quick find by Mr while Mrs was waiting for traffic to pass. Have been meaning to come find this one for a while now!! So have happily ticked it off the list
While working in the area I decided to scout this one out, a quick find on a Sunday morning. Gave the hide a little K&C magic. SL TFTC monf
There was a guy sitting in his truck eating his morning tea looking straight at me. So I had to wait until he drove off.
Thanks monf.
Thanks monf.
Its great to find a CO who replaces missing caches so fast. Thank you.
Public holiday and 7.00am still busy along this rd. You sort of stand out looking at a tree when there is a dirty great big semi trailer parked there.
Love the bling but I do think this one will go again.
Thanks monf

Looked for all things bright and beautiful and only saw a Easter rabbit hopping away.

We had to park our car between the tree and a semi parked on the side of the road. Then we were able to make the find without the driver being any the wiser as to our intent.

I arrived at GZ and searched at the listed coords, and found nothing. Then I read the hint, and couldn't even see anything that matched this within eyeshot, so I checked the previous logs and found the note with the other coords.
So, I walked over to the new coords, 108m away, and found the cache.
Please change the official coords of the listing, or ask TheUmp to do this for you, so that when cachers download the cache it has the correct coords.
Thanks for the cache monf!

Was concerned by comments made that it was on private land as my recent one in Freemantle puts it in the sea! Maybe google maps have taken an early holiday! FTF with a new cacher but he can't
Log as he needs to set up his Premium membership.monf came along to check it was still there. No muggles in sight.

muggle territory, after hours possibly better to locate this cache at the intersection. The cache is on davidson street.
parking at the deli next door or on the road verge.
Your note was a bit late for me. I found the coordinates were in the yard so left again. There was a load of muggles roaming Davidson St whilst I was there so I would not have been able to look for it even if I knew it was down that street.
