The owner has not responded in over 3 months.

Freeing up this real estate to appease the disgruntled.

Still working on this one - sorry for the delay.

These are next cab off the rank as far as maintenance goes - sorry, but have been kept busy with a spate of disappearing caches over the summer months.

School holidays have arrived so cache maintenance will be happening very soon.

I guess that I can be called a traditionalist because I really like caches that take you into nice areas. Combine that with nice weather, great company and the thrill of the hunt and it's perfect. The only things I don't do very well are making tricky finds and logging my finds.

I hope that the CO forgives me for a belated generic log because I really enjoyed this little outing and the lovely locations it took me to. Hopefully I'll get back to Mandurah and will get to see this area again.

A fun series and it would be great for kids. (Hmmm, maybe that's why I liked it so much)

Down for maintenance.

Found it. TFTC

Found it OK. SL on a damp piece of paper. TFTC

Log book sodden mess. Added pencil and laminate picture of critter to go with new sheets.

Log very wet, and little critter MIA... Put some temp paper in a zip lock bag. Thanks for the find...

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Muggle partner came with me today so his 'man flu' can't be too bad or the fact was I didn't really give him an option
When I'm going to be this close to water I'd prefer not to cache alone in case of 'accidents'.

I downloaded this series and some around Meadow Springs area as hard to judge the weather until in the area and since it wasn't raining it was this series that was on the hit list for today

Was a lovely walk to gz and a quick find by partner since he was standing a bit closer

Six down, and only two more to come

Out caching with Pood and Barjgods

Doing a loop trip to Mandurah and back with Barjgods and Geogypsys today, with a trip along the scenic river with great views, lots of people fishing and crabbing today. TFTC.

Qyuick and easy find. Thanks for the lovely walk. TFTC

Decided on a trip to Mandurah today, to do some caching.
Many changes have been done in the town, since we lived there.
This is another short series, that we have had our eye on.
We had a fantastic bike ride along the river, and into the wet lands.
All the caches were well hidden and we located all, but 'D'.
Will have another look, on our next trip to Mandurah.
Many thanks for the cache, Mistraluna.

Very pretty walk. Quick find here. TFTC Mistraluna.

Good job

Found it good hide

Lovely area. I use to race a kayak around these waters once upon a time and have always liked this area.

Nice day for a walk and good track... Signed the log. Thanks Mistraluna.

Another find along a familiar trail for us, we always go for a walk along here when we are visiting our relatives who live nearby. If only we didn't have to load up on bug repellant before each walk!

TFTF. Left some marbles.

Replaced cache container.

Great hiding place! Thank you

Waiting for my wife and so I thought I would have a go at some Mandurah caches that I have had my eye on for a good while. Easy find. TFTC

Still enjoying the walk.

TFTC. Mistraluna

Found by me for a change! Cache container has a hole in it but contents are safe and dry at the moment. TFTC.

hole in the container

Cache container has a few holes in it, tftc.

This is weekend is the start of my assault to get back on track for 1000 cache finds for the year, To start I thought that I would attack the little critter series after work today,.

Accurate co ords made it fairly easy to find these caches. It does get dark in these parts quickly at this time of night, but my trusty LED torch provided ample light to find the last couple

[:o)]



Thanks Mistaluna for this enjoyable walk and great series . [^]

This is my find number 2324

Determined to find the 300th today on the anniversary of joining geocaching so were pleased with our find. TFTC

Quick find beautiful spot tftc

Went out between showers to find a few caches. This was one we found.
A very nice walk along the lakes edge
Thanks Mistraluna

Cache was well and truly stuck in its hidey hole. Took some teamwork to get it out. Geomum slipped it back into place with lid facing the river - its a snug fit but at least its not tightly wedged in - hope that helps the next person.

TFTC, out to get this series done.

[:(!] Did a three day caching run to Mandurah with geowife to incorporate the event being held there "J & J Say G'Day to WA - (GC47DF1)", and picked up a few caches along the way and this was one of them, after booking into the Caravan Park near Pinjarra, we were off again in search of more caches, parked the geocar as close as to Little Critters - E (GC43C2K) and rode the push bike from there, on arrival at GZ I had the cache in hand within a couple of minutes.

A quick find GPRS not playing the game, TFTc

Headed out today with Holdfast7616 to grab a few caches. Noting the amount of time available to us, I decided to hit this series for maximum fun in the sun!

Instead of walking it all, we bounced around in the car a little. Around the corner we drive to walk back and grab this one. Another photo and number logging occured and we went again.

Thanks for the cache Mistraluna

Cheers

Despite it getting on in the afternoon I hoped to have sufficient time to complete this series. And even though most of my blood had already been siphoned off at those recent caches I hoped to be able to survive the distance.
I have never been in these parts before and (despite the flying critters) it was well worth the journey. Thankfully they were mostly easy finds so didn't have to hang about too long as a target for the buzzing missiles, took note of all the necessary info and moved onto the next.
Would have liked to have found the final as well, but by this time was too tired and bitten to try for it in the dusk - with even more mozzies about (if that is possible...) so that will have to wait another day.
Thanks for a great series, Mistraluna - and heed her advice... take mozzie repellant!!

Thanks for the cache!

After visiting the thrombolites at Lake Clifton we hightailed it back to Mandurah hoping to complete the nine caches in the Little Critter series. This was number six down. The walking trail along the banks of the Serpentine is well sealed and nice and wide and the scenery is very pleasant. Surprisingly not many muggles using the trail today even though the weather has cooled a little and it is the weekend.

Took a photo of the 'critter' and made a note of the number in the cache. Not far to go now.....
Thanks for the hide Mistraluna [^]

A pleasant afternoon with a nice breeze to keep the mozies away, so ideal conditions to finish off this series after selling more duck race tickets during the day.
Another great riverside walk that we would not have found except for geocaching. The City Council really does a good job at providing this sort of infrastructure, its a pity more people don't use and enjoy it.

A quick find and clues obtained once we extracted the cache from its hiding place and off to the next one.

Thanks for the cache & the series Mistraluna [^]

Nice quick find

im not sure what i was thinking when i deciced to go out geocaching in 40 degree heat??? I managed to talk geo daughter KRISTYBELLE into coming with me so i filled up the esky with lots of water and headed down to mandurah. This was a quick find but the hardest part was trying to get the container out as it was wedged in tight. TFTC Mistraluna

Great idea for a series and an interesting location, but, my goodness it was hot and still in there and the mozzies were ferocious we are still covered in bites. Thanks Mistraluna.

Joined with iluvtrekking for a days caching in Mandurah. Although it was a lovely walk along the river path, the mozzies were ferocious today which took away from the overall enjoyment. Still we pressed on and found all the required 'Little Critters', some of them leaving more of an impression on us.

I parked on the left bank below the Pinjarra Road bridge and set out to do this series on foot from there ... found critters A to H without any drama, but couldn't do the finale because I didn't bring a print-out and my smart-phone battery ran out, so I couldn't access the web-site. doh.

Quick find here. Signed the log and photographed the critter along with the data. TFTH Mistraluna

All back up and ready to be found. Unexpected high tides due to recent cyclone up north meant a couple of the caches were compromised. Please take care to make sure caches are all securely in their spots and not going to be washed downstream in the next high tide. Thanks

Disabled for maintenance. Will be back asap.

Firmly wedged I had t retrieve instead of kids this time, but we found quicker than previous caches, we might be getting the hang of Geocaching Kayaker still in the vicinity though.

Awesome series...I really do enjoy this type of theme...as usual in my haste I did not read descriptions properly and we had to backtrack a little....great paths, highly recommended for bikes and mozzy spray a must......thank you Mistraluna

Generic Log for Little Critters - A through H.

After checking in at the nearby caravan park, Mickeydv and I rode over to complete this series just before 7pm. Despite multiple layers of insect repellent, the mozzies were still out in force so we were grateful that these caches were generally quick finds so we could keep moving on our bikes.

We had to visit the first 4 caches twice since we didn't initially realise we were required to record the type of animal as well as the letter and number. Since we had to ride back on the same system of paths, this was only a minor inconvenience.

The lengthiest find was actually the cache that was most exposed; it was closest to the water and in plain sight, just not where we were looking for it.

The paths are perfect for riding so I'd encourage others looking to complete the series to consider using bikes as a form of transport. It's an efficient way of logging 9 finds well within an hour.

Thanks for this "new" series, it was one of the highlights of our stay in Mandurah.

Found by Jasenjanine, the cache was firmly wedged in its spot. Eventually extracted, SL. Little Dylan admired all the different critters, it was his job to open each container, then identify each critter for us. Little Tyler just had to rest in his pram and observe. Another beautiful location, and a lot of ducks around. TFTC Mistraluna

Continuing along the path with Luna Maya (and the 2 rugrats), this one was an easy find but we had trouble retrieving the container Eventually I got it and we were signing our names. Master 3 has been having so much fun matching the critters and working out the numbers [^]

TFTC Mistraluna, Cache was replaced where found, but it should be a bit easier now to retreive

OK now things were getting serious, our leisurely hunt was becoming more hurried as more and more mozzies were deciding that we were fresh blood! Ian found the cache and signed the log whilst I hurriedly copied down the code...... Jump onto our bikes very quickly and hoped our followers couldn't keep up!...... did we think this was fun?????

(catch up log as part of chwiliwr team)

Third of the series. This one was a bit more difficult to find in the dark.

Thanks Mistraluna for the cache.

Found with Moonlightz on a night caching trip..

Published

FTF with wot at 9:15pm. Found fairly easily after a short hunt.
TFTH!
