No luck today

I got it

I got it

We had to come up here to pick up a bonnet for our old car that was hit and run in a car park.
International coffee day too so we grabbed a coffee at muzz buzz for free.
Cache was easy to find after lifting the skirt of the plant.
The coordinates were very accurate.
Thanks for the cache.

I was in the area giving the geohound a walk and took the opportunity to pick up a few extra caches that were (kind of) nearby. This was one that I stopped at today. Arrived to find the park deserted so quickly headed over to GZ for a look. A poke or two about and bingo I spotted the cache Always good to make a super fast find As always a lot of the luck is whether there is anybody around when you arrive! No problems here today, TFTC

Loved the drive out here today, managed to find 7 finds and 7 DNF's sadly today. Nice quick find here as I have found quite a few of these type of cache. A few muggle kids down at the park having a play but I didn't draw too much attention to myself. Out grabbing a few caches around the Banksia Grove/ Nowergup area.

Thanks for the cache and - Jess12310

Headed north of the river with mommy Ooh Yeh, Barnzy12 and cravo10 to turn some more of those green dots into smileys..
The main caches were the lake Adams series and a couple more after that we had time to grab. All caches were found and a big thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches for us and others to find!

This is find #1866 for us!

Out today with Cravo10, OOH YEH and RLAU.

Headed North of the River to attempt the Lake Adams series. Found all containers thanks to good co ordinates and good hints. Calculated the final and made another good find there.

We then headed off to find the Lemon Tree multi which has been on both of or radars for some time and pieced it back together, with one of the vital clues found not in its rightful place. But all is ok now.

Finished the day with getting our toes wet to find cockleshell heroes, one that has been on my personal caching radar for some time, luckily it was low tide and I didn’t have to get too wet to make the find.

Thanks to the local COs for a great days caching.

Taking the non-Geo son to a nearby skatepark, chickenhawk07 and I decided to grab a nearbycache or two.
This was a bit tricky but I should have trusted my initial hunt
Thanks heaps to Purple Pirate 57 for placing and maintaining Joseph Banks Pirate Treasure. Glad to grab an unplanned cache today. I added my name to the log and replaced where I found it.

Found it

A day in the northern suburbs to clean up some more green dots, happy to say we came up trumps here and walked away with a smilie TFTC

A quick find thanks to the hint
Headed NOR to turn some green dots into lovely yellow smileys.
TFTC Purple Pirate 57 this is find # 5583 for us.

Went and checked is still there in good condition. Look at the hint that may help

Mounting DNf needs a co check

No luck here today. Been 12 plus months with no finds.

Looked around couldn't find

This is my second time here.....it helps to read the hint! TFTC

Nice and quick find with the hint. Tftc

Finally found
Tftc

Tftc my second time here very good hide

Had a good luck and came up empty handed

Coordinates are bouncing around to much dnf

Nice park and great hiding spot! It took me a few minutes to find the container but I had a good idea of what I was looking for. Thank you for the cache Purple Pirate 57.

Yay! A late night stroll and I finally found this cache. Well hidden. TFTC Purple Pirate 57

No luck here

We had no find here.

Was out with m4yb for a few caches in this previously undiscovered suburb.

Nearly at the stage of giving up, especially with the sound of garden tools getting louder, but luckily I heard that great sound form m4yb of "Got it".

Yay, TFTC Purple Pirate 57

I had just said to megawat60 that time was up and the gardening muggles were getting closer, decided to have a final look and BINGO! TFTC!

Thank you! Finally found it this, but not before a decent amount of searching. It is quite well hidden.

Went and checked again today all in place area clean. Note Cache is in common camo used by geocachers.

No luck for me today. The home made bongs I found did put me off from looking too hard though.

All cleaned up. Cache was still in place. Have fun

Went for a quick search, but too much rubbish to continue

Not a nice search... gave up in the end

With a bit of a trade off for dads Father's Day 4x4 adventures, a bit of time was spent at the great bike park in banksia groove.

With a short walk to this fantastic park from bike park a quick find was made by the geo daughter to cross this dot of the map

Tftc purple-pirate57

The kids and had fun looking for this one Jacob found it very good hide well done Jacob Chelsea and sean

I had the right idea of what I was looking for and had been looking in the right spot all along, just not quite deep enough. Glad to finally find the cache here today. Tftc.

I found it. I left my mark. I replaced it and I left. TFTC. Thanks for checking Purple Pirate 57. I got my smiley. It helps when I know it's really there. Really nice hide, thanks. . . I was sure I look there, oh well, maybe I'm getting old.

Brought the whole team to this lovely park to try and rectify the DNF. Kids disappeared straight off to the playground though so they were no help. Mrs O came up with the goods. TFTC PP57 and thanks for checking up on it.

Went and checked is in place all in good order you may have to try again. Looks like rubbish has been removed. Container a bit tricky but common enough geocash. Look at Clue

All OK

Please can we have the CO check up on this one after 3 DNFs. Thanks.

No sign of a cache here. The pirates know how to party hard though - lots of bottles and cans strewn around in the bush behind the low wall.

Second time I looked for this one. I will have to log a DNF. I did find someone's hand bag and their credit cards were scattered through the bush. I did the right thing and gathered them and logged a find at Joondalup police station. . . Is that classed as a find ?
Now how's this. I had my car parked at the other end of the park nearTeasel way. Walking back to my car I had to pass several guys having a kick. One guy looked hard at me, then I realised I was carrying the hand bag. OMG so embarrassing. . . I promise I do not usually carry a hand bag. . . . Well not on Sunday's anyway.

Looked for ages here but no luck for me today.

Today was the day to end our 30 day streak with a bang..... find thirty caches in one day. We decided to tackle Carramar, Banksia Grove, Tapping, Ashby and Singara. We had quite a few DNF's, 30 finds and 3 Did Not Attempts. Somewhere along the road we managed to accumulate our 300th find and possibly the best camo we've ever seen! TFTC

A little afternoon geocaching in north of wanneroo. Found most of them. Tftc. Took me a while as the gps was heading me to another part of the park!!!!

Ants nest has moved in and there is no log book.

Found the cache after a short hunt.
Unfortunately cache had an ants nest in it and no log book.
Cleaned out as best I could and replaced in position.
TFTC

Out with The Drovers on another big caching run in the Northern suburbs, plenty of great hides and some very good camos too, clever camo. missed it on the first sweep...TFTC

Picked up JacobsCrew and headed to the north of Perth, to take advantage of yet another
beautiful sunny day. Visited some lovely suburban parks and bush land area's, with a good
variety of cache hides. A most enjoyable day was had by all.
Many thanks for the cache, Purple Pirate 57.

It was fun finding it and i wanted to take my dogs rox and koda and I miss my other dog princess

The Dutch girls found your cache.

A lovely park that was deserted on such a beautiful afternoon. Advantageous for us as we were able to make a quick find with iluvtrekking. Thanks Purple Pirate 57

A nice quick find with richlink. Thanks PP

I passed some tiny houses on the way to GZ so it's great that there's so many lovely parks. Thanks for the cache.

Quick find - thanks for the cache and the lift!

another lovely park - alot new house there... Signed the log. Thanks PP.

Another very nice park, and I was very pleased to make another quick find here. It was quite hot sitting in the car, but nice and cool out in the breeze in the park. Thanks for the cache Purple Pirate 57!

Out and about for a days caching with SPN WRC as it's been far too long for the both of us.
Mainly tried to clean up around Carramar with only a couple of DNF's.
SPN WRC seems to be onto these ones quick as a flash..

Out for a day with AndrewSWRT. Long time between caching. Planning to clear the local area and earn some smilies.
Quick find.
TFTC

Quick find even with council muggle workers only a few metres away
TFTC

Out and about on an early morning Cache run before work.

Great to see so many Caches up in this newly constructed suburb...
Some lovely hiding spots around here.

Spotted the hide quickly.

Cheers for the cache.

Was confused at the start but smarter when I left...

Nice quick find was had here. It's amazing how quick they clear land and start placing houses. TFTC.

Second to find with Kiwi1502

Mrs Felix at work today. Noticed the publication alert about 40mins after the alert. Phoned Mr Felix to see if he had noticed, duh NO far too busy with house chores to be checking emails [?]

Dumped his cleaning 'stuff' and jumped into the Geo Cruiser - You never know your luck

Alas on arrival noticed he parked behind the SpatialRiq mobile as he collected his stuff to head out into the heat, Kiwi1502 and Ammo45 pulled up with them RUNNING to GZ hoping to be FTF..... alas too late he cried, was the story for all today Doh, that makes us FTF (fourth to find not first to find ) lol....lol...

Nice to catch up though for a chat with Kiwi1502, Ammo45& SpatialRiq before moving along from another 2013 Mini Event.

Lovely new park look forward to visiting again soon for a picnic.

TFTC Purple Pirate 57

The GPSr was all over here and I didn't understand the hint so resorted to a fingertip search. Didn't take too long to find the goods. When I got it - I got it. TFTC

Seemed to be easy finds for me today as I made a quick find at this cache as well.

Thanks Purple Pirate 57 for the cache.
