Could not find this geocache after searching for 20 minutes, and it has been two months since it was found. Council has put a fence up recently, so this geocache should be moved.
Fence was not really a problem with Hawkeye. Jumped right over and a few minutes later. Cache in hand ( photo as proof as we forgot pen )
The shire has fenced this area off so GZ is no longer accessible - the cache should be moved as the fence is already showing signs of being damaged.
Took the geobikes out for a little hunting in the beautiful spring sunshine.
As ullyssia suggested, it seems that fencing has been installed sometime since this cache was published and access is no longer straightforward or considered desirable by the local shire. As such I sent Mr O in to locate Alfie and left my feet firmly planted on the official side of the fence. Thankfully he didn't need help and made a quick find of Alfie and the cache.

Thank you! I headed out for a drive on a rainy morning to find a cache or two. I am not sure if the fencing is new, but I had to navigate it to get to GZ. Once there, I was distracted by something else completely out of place. Reading the logs put me back on track and i soon found the clever cache.
Needed a smilie today to fill a hole on my grid.
A quick find once we thought outside the box

Quick find this morning with geodad and youngest geodaughter. Loving the container!
Going by the previous logs, I was expecting a long search but somehow it was an instant find for me. Must have been lucky to walk right up to it and to spot something a bit unusual. I really like the camouflage and the construction, so a favorite point. Thank you for the cache kiwi1502.
spent about 15 minutes looking for this one. I searched at least 10 metres around gz. I looed at every object and the one in the gz area using a torch and there was no cache to be found. This area seems to be frequented as a play area for kids. Suspecting they may have found it. Maybe go andcheck on this one Kiwi1502
Took a while, but we eventually found it very nice hiding spot btw. Yet to write name in log because I forgot to bring a pen. TFTC!
[^] AWESOME hide here and this one is absolutely worthy of a fave point from us 
. Well done kiwi1502, we look forward to finding more like this one [^]kiwi1502 - jinta29 found your cache HELP FIND ALFIE on 24/01/2016, 7:37 AM. This is my find #4867 and find #15 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!
Have you logged your WILL ATTEND for WA GOES BIG in 2016[?]

Found it.
This was my second attempt. A few months ago I visited this one, only to discover muggle kids playing in the bush so I left it.

Me and my dad were looking for this one and were so lucky to stumble across it in about ten seconds and btw great spot
Had an attack on my 'Finds by Placed Month' grid or 'Jasmer Challenge' today. Meant I had to venture NOR to try and track down the 9 on my hit list. Found 7 of them plus a few others about the place.
Driving past and this one was nearby so parked up and in to GZ. Was quite surprised to come up with the instant find once there.
kiwi1502 I found your cache at 8:21am, this was the 2nd of 17 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2668. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

So, what do you do if you've not slept all night due to jet lag? Well, you get up early in the morning and have a nice walk along to a new geocache!! (New for me, not newly placed). This one is of particular interest for me as it is not far from my little cousin's school. I will be doing the school pick up on Friday so I was able to scope out the route there and then move on to find this cache.
It was lovely weather, just warming up but not too hot for a pom like me. I've only just arrived over here, so I don't have any data allowance on my phone - I usually cache with an android phone and the main app, but since I've arrived I've been using the offline facility on the c:geo app. This was able to get me accurately to GZ and from there I was on the lookout for the cache itself!
I had a few ideas of what or where it could be. I was convinced that it would be one thing,....with no luck then had a brain wave and was convinced that it was something else....no luck!! I wasn't far from giving up, especially as I seemed to keep repeatedly reversing myself into needle like leaves - ouch. However, I made my radius a bit wider and opened my mind up a bit more, away from my previous preconceived ideas. My eyes alighted on something that was certainly a possibility and voila! There is was. I was so happy and massively impressed by its construction, I will be taking that idea home with me to UK! TFTC

After finding you other cache previously this one came up on the TomTom on the way to a nearby appointment. Nice simple camo, another favourite.
Lynnette found it first but didn't know what it was then Jaimie found it! Our first one! Excited much!
Quick find once at GZ. Nice container, haven't seen one quite like this before. TFTC 
Probably too small for my eyes. This is the last time I go geocaching at night. DNF 
Clever hide and easy find in an otherwise unsuccessful outing this afternoon. tftc.
Our first find whoop, kids enjoyed it.
Good fun
(Running out of space to next explorer should take more paper)

Very nicely hidden, and yet simple. I appreciate the work it must have taken to make this.
Driving around Duncraig to collect a couple of caches this morning.
Quick grab, liked this hide. TFTH

Off and racing agin with m4yb up north, this time in the Greenwood/Duncraig area. I got distracted by a phone call, so she wandered off to make the find, but had to call me over to see this unique hide, a fav from me. Thanks kiwi1502.
A morning's caching in this area with megawat60. I made the find and was quite impressed, we actually have a similar "bit" in our "future cache stash"... TFTC kiwi1502.

It wasn't a very successful day today. Very easy find while out on a morning caching run in order to beat the heat. TFTC
Geoson stumbled across this one, but it wasn't until i told him to have a look that he found it. Nice work!!! TFTC
With Christmas out of the way and a whole month of holidays stretching out in front of me, what better to do with my time than go caching. Headed north and grabbed Luna Maya before jumping on the freeway and heading up this way. We overshot the exit where we had planned to start our quest, so quickly changed plans and started our day around Whitfords instead. Interesting cache camo. Thanks kiwi1502
Out and about with Mistraluna today - tackling some urban caches. From park, to reserve, to shops and so on .The two "luna's " had some funny moments of course 
which helped to make it an enjoyable day I liked this cache ! SL TFTC kiwi1502

Here I am on another Monday adventure with The Drovers, It is the biggest caching day for me , a total of 81 caches for the day. It has been a great with fantastic company. I had a wonderful day in beaut weather conditions. it was a quick find , clever hide...TFTC
Think the cache is not quite where it is intended but could not see an obvious place so left where I found it. TFTC
Found this one spot-on GZ on a quick Queen's Birthday cache run with CacheCrafter13. TFTC!
Out with NTech trying to reach my next milestone today. Nice camo for this cache kiwi1502. TFTC!
Found @ 12:33!
Find #06 on a caching run intended to clear up the NW area of my 5km walking radius!
This was an easy find, but a good camo - I have not yet seen one quite like this and it would be near impossible to find in the right location...!

Geokid's find after a ride around our local area. Forgot a pen so couldn't sign. Great camo. TFTC.
Went to visit kellyxley with Princess Fiona and with Kelly off for six months we took the opportunity to spend a couple of hours caching. Very quick find here. TFTC!

What an awesome hide! The cache was being guarded by a cat, but once I scooted the mangy feline away, I fiund this relatively quickly. Tftc
