Thought I was in the right area so searched and searched on my morning run with no luck. Bummer
Diesen Cache haben wir leider nicht gefunden.

Belinda found this one! I was looking in completely the wrong place! This was my second try at this cache.
Lindylou found this fairly easily. I was looking too high: my elbows are not that low LOL. Tftc.
With gpatt. Can't say I'm impressed with the GPS on my iphone, but once we ignored that and used our eyes this was a simple find. GZ for this cache is amazing, thanks for sharing with us
Yay, I was about to give up again. Third time lucky:-) took the last spot on log and the o-ring is about to go.
What a ripper little spot for a nano. Loved it!
Awesome stealth moves practiced before a quick sign and return. Log book is completely full now thanks for the hide!

Many weeks have passed since the great journey to Australia. Sunshine, the scent of the sea, lovely people and of course all of these great caches – they meant a lot to me. There was not enough time to logg all found caches (nor dnfs). It only means that we had all the time wonderful people around us [:X].
This could have been hard to find, but not this time - was surprised myself when the cache was in my hands. TFTC

Lovely place and an obvious spot for a cache, but lot of possible hiding places. TFTC.
Headed out to tackle a few of these Fremantle caches. This one was a pretty straightforward nano as I was signing the log book in no time. TFTC
First day of our honeymoon... we have a 8 hours stopover in Perth before going to Queensland and we came to Freemantle to see the Indian ocean and to have some oysters and seafood for dinner.
This is a easy find... tuesday after dinner the place was empty.. no mugglers by the coast... neither a taxi to go back to the airport.

Was going to walk away but the people left and we raced back. Couldn't get the log book out unfortunately. First find for my friend, Team Hack on the job glad it was a Friday!
Met fellow geocacher from england today ☺☺ nice little hide. Luckily not too many muggles due to rain. Tftc
Found whilst it was in the hands of Rebecca&kids this morning
Worth a fav point

visiting this lovely little town from SOuth Africa. this was a great cache to do at night. no muggles around. had to look a bit before i spotted it TFTC
Found with the 2 geodaughters. Reasonably muggle free at 5.30 on a Saturday night. TFTH
Found it together with Lepis during our holiday in Perth. Thank for the cache. Greetings from Czech Republic.
Two attempts at this, one with assistance of the co and still no luck. Think it's gone missing again unfortunately
Found on Mar 12, 2015, 8:17 AM(local time) – Early am walk from my hotel, cache #2 of the day. Nice quick find, sign, grab, and return. Last day in Australia before catching a flight back home later tonight so hope to pick up a bunch today. Thanks for the cache!
Found it nice and easily. Luckily it was quiet. Logbook fill I had to squeeze my name in tiny between two others.
Took me longer than it should have to find this little guy. I replaced the old full log with a new Rite-In-Rain I had with me; everyone, write small to keep it going for a while. I'm over 16,000 km from home and I won't be coming back to change the log again any time soon (or ever). I have the old log if the CO wants it sent; I'll keep it about a week before I toss it. (No CO has yet taken me up on that, but hey, gotta offer.) TFTC!
Went down to replace the log but EstesLynne had beaten me to it. Took a couple of minutes to find the cache as it was not n the usual spot. A muggle sitting nearby asked me if I was looking for money. I said "No. I am looking for something else. I'll show you when I find it" ... showed her the nano when I found it and she was very impressed. May have recruited a new cacher.
I took a day trip to lovely Fremantle and of course I wanted to search one cache There were two boys playing ping pong next to the place, but I was a turist and very interested in the great chess board. Tftc and greetings from Finland!
This is certainly well-used spot! Finally found exact location and thankfully signed over-crowded log in a random place.TFTC
The chess was going strong on a hot day then it was check put the cache great having wi fi on the area TFTC
Back in Fremantle again for another week. Out for a morning walk and to hunt down a few of the remaining caches I haven't found in Fremantle city. Log full, thanks firnsy.
We searched the structure high and low with no luck. One of my daughters then found the nano lying on the ground. Log was quickly signed and it is back where it should be.
Ok came back for another go. We looked, we felt, we sat, we pondered, we looked some more, we found! TFTC.
Finally found this after checking pics left by others. My GPS had it located about 8m away. It would be quite tricky to find but by chance I saw it glinting like a gold tooth in a smile.
Spent ages looking while the kids played pingpong table tennis after getting bored looking
Seems I was looking in the wrong area judging by the pics

Found after Elrin... always bizarre to see fellow GCers in action!
Nice find - picking off GCs in the Freo area.

Friend and I took TB for a trip to the harbour and decided to grab a few caches on the way. As I've found a few of barnzy12's caches this wasn't a hard find once the spot was free of muggles.

Searched and searched but could not find it! Where on earth could it be?
Well third time was not the charm for us either. If it's there, we couldn't find it.
Visited this cache on Saturday and moved it so that it can be seen from 2-3 metres away. Happy to provide a hint for anyone having trouble finding it.
We had a day caching in Fremantle. We had three attempts at this over the course of the day. No luck. Frustrating too to know it was found earlier in the day. Will try again.
The problem here is that it gets hidden out of sight ... it is supposed to be in plain view (partly obscured) and it is difficult to extract from the spot where people tend to hide it.
I thought I had GZ sorted, however after a good search while the kids pinged and ponged nearby there was no find...
In Freo for a 3 day break. With shopping chores out of the way in the morning, the afternoon was free for caching so we decided to tackle the 2 Zoom in multi's and pickup a few others on the way. A good 4+ hour walk around all parts of Freo and learning some interesting history along the way.
Our GPSrs (3 off) would not settle here and it took some time to narrow down where GZ was. Once done it then took longer to locate the cache, which we finally did. A very muggle heavy location, but managed to retrieve and hide with stealth
Thanks for the cache firnsy [^] - all was good & dry
This was cache # 3 of 5 today for a total cache count of 2574.

Found this one with a local geocacher. She said it was not where she had found it on an earlier occasion so I hope it is where it is supposed to be now. We had just completed the Santa walk through Fremantle, raising funds for the hospital. 200 Santas!!!!
Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

Remember, everytime you hide a nanocache God kills a bilby, Freo loose a final to to Port, and a rabbit invades Western Australia.

Found on a beautiful Sunday after Event. Lots of sighters to create in Freo.
Thanks for cache!
Thanks for cache!
Took a bit of looking around but finally manage to get a hold of this one. Didn't have a pen unfortunately to sign the log.
Found on a busy Saturday after subterfuge and sneaky tricky were employed. SL TFTC
Checked this one. Had to find it with my fingers as it was out of sight. Shifted it slightly to a spot where it can be seen.
[Teal] As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. Dad did most of the hard work here and the detail of our find can be found in the Rats log. Sorry for the duplicate log but it takes nothing away from the find.
Thanks for showing us this spot on our trip.

In Freo dodging the rain and the nearby weddings. Grabbed this while the kids played table tennis.
Thanks for being part of our great adventure.
