Won't be able to get to Perth within next month so archiving!

I can't recall when I solved this (or how!!) but this evening on my ride home I attempted a search. I ended up searching all the spots in the area because I was unable to locate anything. Except a rusty knife.. and an empty bottle - very odd things to find in trees!!

As it's been over a year since a find has been logged, could the co please check on it?

Dnf for me here tonight. Searched the obvious tree but came up with zilch and a few ants running all over me. Will come back during the day

Adam Ant was my very first "pin-up" (I would had have been about 9 years old) and its good to hear that he's still around! A straight forward solve here, and we stopped off today on our way down to Freo to locate the cache. This area of the park was surprisingly empty today except for - yep, you guessed it - GZ, where a couple were canoodling. Sorry folks, just move over whilst we retrieve the container. In our haste to get out of the car, we forgot a pen, so had to take a photo as evidence of the find instead. Thanks for a fun cache (well, it's fun for me cos it was one I actually understood!) and for bringing back memories of Ant Music. TFTC Smile

First find for the day. A beautiful open area where the kids ran and ran. Whilst the area was quite busy, GZ was quiet. A quick find. Nice surprise! TFTC

After a kind help of the CO several months ago, we arrived in Perth and went to hunt this little box. Had a lovely view across the river and took a short walk to find Adam the Ant safely wrapped up in a plastic bag.

I do like this type of puzzle. No endless hours trolling the internet. I loved Ant Music and it was always followed by a dead ant rendition at the disco.
A premium place for a cache with a fantastic view though we were chastised by a cyclist for walking on the bike path. Thanks for a fun memory evoking puzzle Richlink.

First day in Perth with BettyBoo3747 was a bit muggle plagued!
Knocked off some puzzles, a few trads on the way, and the odd multi.
Liked the puzzle, don't think I have seen its like before.
Great walk across the park to a quieter area, and a quick search.
I find these trees get very dusty.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 6041. This is our first day caching in Perth and Robmc and I found it very frustrating. Saturday is obviously muggle day in the extreme. We found 14, had 2 DNF's and several unattempted. We might wait until after dark and revisit those we were muggled out on.

We worked on several puzzles for a long time before this trip and this was the first one collected. Quite a stroll to GZ from where we had parked. Took a little fossicking before Rob located Adam. This was a very nice puzzle by the way.

Thanks richlink

After having breakfast in Swanbourne we were making our way home via Vic Park, so I finally stopped for this one. We were able to head directly to the cache as it was rather warm and there weren't many people around. At GZ I spotted the cache straight away as a corner was peaking out. A nice spot I had once scouted for a cache placement. TFTC!

Found this one after a morning appointment in the city. I had a couple of hours to kill before the 11-12-13-14-15 event nearby, so did a leisurely walk up the terrace then down along riverside drive, then up and over the narrows, before finally heading east along the water's edge, caching along the way. Grabbed this one along the way. Thanks for the cache richlink

Found this with GeoDad (Kyzabra) while out before the 11/12/13 events

Was out and about before the Perth event and tagging along with another cacher.
Can't take any credit for the solve but was there to sign the log.
Will solve when I get back from holidays.

Found after the 11-12-13 Event today. Have to admit to a bit of help from a friend. TFTC

I've had the solution to this puzzle for quite some time but hadn't got around to finding it. A family BBQ by the river was the perfect excuse to come and have a look for it. A nice easy find of a well hidden cache. TFTC and the puzzle.

Loved this puzzle! Well, OK I loved just being able to solve this puzzle. Unusually for me actually solved this about two months ago but only today found myself nearby and with the spare time available to hunt it down. Well hidden but didn't it take so very long before the cache was safely in hand. Loved the cache association. Thanks for the puzzle Ricklink. Anymore about this difficulty level??
 
18-Aug-13
Second time back to this one, and had it in my hand within seconds of arrival! On my own today, without the distraction of a bored young anklebiter who was over looking for yet another micro. However, love this area, so it was certainly no great chore having to come back again.
A nicely linked cache themed to the puzzle which I had solved ages ago, so very happy to get it out of the solved pile and into the found pile.
Thanks for the puzzle and the cache richlink.

Found on our way to breakfast. Thanks richlink for a good puzzle and a well hidden cache.
 
24-Jul-13
I had to ask the CO for help on this one. It is well hidden. TFTC and a good puzzle
 
17-Jul-13
I puzzled, I solved, I came, I searched, I found nothing, I went. Sad
 
01-Jun-13
This took longer to solve that it should have, but we got that ah-ha! moment together with an oh no!
Very nicely put together and this morning we made a quick find of the cache.
Thanks for the puzzle and the hunt.

With a little hint I could figure out his one Smile
Had some coordinates and went for the cache, which was kind of related to the title [D)]
Thanks for this one 'richlink' and greetings from Belgium.

I know absolutely nothing about the person in the image, but I managed to solve the puzzle quite a while ago. Today I was out on an afternoon bike ride to the city, and this cache was not to be missed!

The container was exactly what I expected Wink Nicely done, thanks for the puzzle and the cache richlink!

Have always been a fan of Stuart Leslie Goddard, so was very surprised when his face popped up
on my Geo Map !!!

Dont often get SOR to collect these caches, but was meeting Spatial Riq just up the road for a morning of Munzee, so dived in on route to make the find.

Cheers for the puzzle and the cache.

Not a great fan of Mr Stuart Leslie Goddard but happy to gain a smiley. Dropped past after a spot of munzee-ing with Machman. Great day to be out doing all things spatial. TFTC.

Solved this at the time but kept bypassing GZ so made sure I had the final GZ in the car and called in on the way home from doing some FTF caches well to the north. Found a blank log so assumed that the wet one had been replaced recently.

Thanks richlink for the cache.
 
16-Mar-13
Lovely park area - nice puzzle... Log sheet is wet... sorry I didnt have spare sheet... Signed the log. Thanks richlink.
 
13-Mar-13
Stopped by after work today. Made a quick find in the first spot I checked - lucky. SL TFTC
 
25-Feb-13
Very well hidden. My second find of the morning. TFTC

Don't have my account set to get notifications of puzzles so it wasn't until Mickeydv rang after my work (before his work) that I knew of the puzzle. His phone screen is broken so he can only use voice commands and can't open emails. My phone isn't smart at all so together we're a useless duo at the moment. Still, while chatting to him, I loaded the listing. When he found out there was a long list of numbers, MDV had some high tech ideas he thought I might like to try. I told him there was no need that I could see the coordinate. Of course, he wanted to know it! I explained that I didn't actually know it yet but I knew the first digit and once I justified my logic even he couldn't deny that it was one of those brilliant puzzles that doesn't really need a checker. I stopped past on my bike this morning to make the find. Took a bit of a search; coincidently there were plenty of ants - a massive one too. Located the well hidden cache and signed the log. Thanks richlink for the entertainment and for allowing me to score a brownie point against Mickeydv!!

"FTF"@ 1255 Quickly solved then out into the 40degrees plus , once at GZ unsuccessfully searched the object then tried a few more close by , eventually returned to the first one and with a bit of deeper delving the elusive mint tin was found. Upon returning home I put my co-ords into the geochecker which claimed they were incorrect!!

Maybe geochecker has been altered but it worked a treat for me. Too hot to stop on bike today; hopefully soon. Thanks richlink, this is my kind of puzzle!
 
12-Feb-13
There was a glitch in the geochecker which I have corrected after blingg's log.

Once again KB beat me to the punch and solved it at first glance while I was off on one of my tangents....made diversion on ride home from work ....good spot for a final, surprised I haven't seen a cache here before....cheers richlink
