Out House Ardross, Western Australia, Australia
By duck 43 on 22-Feb-13. Waypoint GC46ENV

Doors placed on outhouse making it unaccessable.

Attempt 6. We remain as clueless as ever. Even more so due to the locked gates. GPS putting gz miles away ( well a good 10m from the outhouse) didn't help. On to other, hopefully more successful hunts.

Sad to say may need to be archived as council has locked us out! Considering a replacement

This is very sad, I am sure this would have been a fantastic camo but unfortunately I suggest that it should be archived as one of the ladies came and asked us what we were doing, we gave her our geo speak but she said they had big plans to prevent break-ins. This may not intervene with the cache but I suggest putting it to sleep, then replacing it when their "plans" are accomplished.

Spent a bit of time while cooking dinner

Searched for some time during a picnic lunch 21/02/15, but no joy today... However we will be back with a fresh perspective soon!

No luck today
Had to get back to work so didn't look long
Will be back
Thanks duck

Approaching GZ ja thought that we might not be possible to check for this one. After reading previous logs the Owner posted a go! We searched ground zero as I got aware of a small fact and - there it was! Already getting an eye for the hideouts (or simply luck??).
TFTC + FP

I thought I had lost this one but was able to reposition it!!

Looks like we are locked out. What a pitty. Checking it out.

One word .... Evil!

Very clever hide! TFTC

Another amazing duck43 cache. I am starting to learn with these caches that you need to touch everything, move everything and stick your hands into every book and cranny. That being said, this one took us about 10 minutes to find, so we are pretty pleased with that. A fave point from us.

Took 10 mins to find this ingenious duck cache

OK at the moment.

Since my last visit here (when I was unsuccessful in finding the cache) gates have now been fixed to the two openings of the outhouse. Workmen about so I was unable to approach. Will these new gates (which no doubt will be padlocked closed) prevent access to the cache? Duck43 may wish to check.

This one has certainly stumped us. We know it's there - in plain view - but we're just not "seeing" the cache. Oh well, it's a good reason to make the trip from down south to give it another go.

2/11/14
Up here for a BBQ with friends so thought we'd have a quick look for this cache. Should have known there's nothing quick about a duck 43 hide! Reading other logs I feel like we should have had something to stand on... But maybe we just couldn't see through the invisible paint
We will return to search another day!

I wasn't lucky to find your cache this time.

After three attempts with DNF's, re-reading all the previous cacher's logs looking for clues, and an email to Duck for a hint, we finally found this very sneaky, well hidden, well camouflaged and annoying cache So much so, it deserves to be a favourite of ours

Thanks Duck for the cache as well as your hint

Amazing cache!! I like the comment from Tango in relation to the invisible paint. He definitely used the invisible paint for this one. How else do you hide a cache of that size in a place where there is nowhere to hide it. I also discovered the power of working in a team today. More eyes find more caches. Another wow factor for me here so another favourite point from me as well. Enjoying your hides today duck 43. Thanks for this one.

Find 8 of 15 today.
Met up with ask277 at Wireless Hill Park for a morning of duck43 caches amongst others. Had a brilliant morning and early afternoon of finds, some quick, some not so quick. Mr. O.'s favourite of the day and not just because he found it first...a satisfying find in a not very promising GZ, and all the while the BBQ area filling with people while we searched. After just a few minutes at GZ the find was made but Mr. O. was spotted by ask277 and Mrs. O. in the act of re-hiding it so the fun factor was slightly reduced...really, an impressive construction here and well worth a favourite. TFTC!

No luck, outwitted by the duck, geokids and I looked for 30mins

I had been to the outhouse before. Once or twice. But after that I had cause to reflect. Duck is only human. Well, not exactly, but he resembles one. I didn’t know how he’d done it but there was only one place it could be. There was something else that confirmed this surmise which I actually passed on to the duck when I met him earlier in the day while he emerged from his den of evil into the sunshine.

That generator running the skyhook had to be there for a reason. And too, that drum, now emptied of its 200 litres of invisible paint. And they were.

It would have been a pity to have found this in the first place I had looked. I really enjoyed the mental torment and confusion that happens when you do start to imagine the duck might just be a magician. Well done duck.

Unfortunately we had no luck finding this cache even though we are getting a little experienced with duck's caches. Will try again another day.

Not convinced it exists.

Out with muggle brother, we were taking in a few ducks. When we ran into duck earlier in the day he advised us not to try this one if we were short of time. Well we were short of time but thought we might have a crack anyway. Success was not to be ours, neither on the first visit nor later after we'd done the rest on the hill. Strangely when we came back we saw things we'd completely overlooked the first time, none of them revealing anything but interesting nonetheless. "Devious Duck" has a ring to it. "Dastardly" too. But it's great to take on the challenge even if we didn't succeed. I shall return

After a for bit of searching and a passerby saying "you won't find it - No one I know has" we finally found it - well done Mr Duck!

just couldnt work this one out. Oh well, 4 out of 5 for the day not bad!

Good hide thanks

Attempt 2 for today and attempt 4 in total. Despite a clue from the master himself this one eludes us. Hopefully will make it all the more rewarding when we do find it. Luckily we found some other duck hides today.

Man that one was hard took ages and then needed a hint from a friend tftc

After a solid hour of looking and a little help from a friend we finally found this one. Very simple but sneaky.

Tried 3 times now to find it with a couple of mates. Would it be possible to get some hints? Inside/outside, left/right, high/low (suspect high from the other logs)....

We almost resorted to phoning a friend but kept at it for one last crack while dodging muggles occupying the nearest bench, took lots of photos of the kids and other critters as cover until they moved to the playground. A re-read of the logs helped us narrow it down to the obvious structure despite our GPS insisting it was several meters away.

A find after about 20 minutes of searching off and on between muggles.

Awesome cache was the call as we signed the log.

A fav point and a tip of my hat to you Mr Duck.

You nearly has us!! Determined to leave with a duck 43 smile we searched EVERYthing. Finally came up with the goods! !! You are a genius. Another fave point well earned.

This cache took far too long to find. But we persevered and got there in the end well deserving of a fav point. Tftc Duck

Finally found it!! I even brought a ladder because I am a shorty. Good effort duck. Lucky I have my tall bf with me

Second time around a found it after a relatively short search compared to our first attempt. As always, great camo and so much happier for the find because of it. Thanks duck 43. I can sleep easier now.

Midweek so luckily not a muggle in sight.

When we found this the word "diabolical" came to mind...

Thanks duck 43 for another amazing cache....favourite point.

Could not find it. Park was very busy.

TFTC

TFTC. Nice quick find

2nd attempt now. No luck

Geo spouse did the brain work and I got to do the grunt work. SO pleased at finding this one as a work colleagues kids have been scarred by Duck 43's caches and we didn't hold out much hope of finding this one. Thanks go to the previous logger for assistance to find this.

Not many muggles around this morning so manage to have a good search that paid of with another great cache TFTH Duck 43 SL Fav

No luck searched for a very long time! We will be back

Like most people.......no luck today and I will be back. Muggles didn't help on the park bench.

Found it- second time we looked for this one! Thanks duck43 you are very clever!

Second attempt at this one was successful thanks in part to a little hint from duck 43 himself. Another great hide!

Third time lucky. Woo hoo !!

Had a muggle sitting very close so this was a test not only in my ability but also in my stealthiness!! A few pointers from a previous finder put me on the right track, thanks for your great work Duck 43, just love it.

Forgot to log this some time ago. Was here for a family picnic and couldn't help but pick up a couple of caches while I was here. Seriously, people who say this cache is easy are either geniuses or it hadn't been replaced properly. With all the possible hides, I admit I had help from the Great Sir Duck himself. Had I not, this would NOT have been a smiley face. Truly Sneaky and creative. Thankyou very much. I also went to reminisces over some of my older finds being Wildflower walk and Melville Water - just to see if they were as good as I remember in my head, they were.
TFTC.

I was lucky that I had plenty of time to kill this morning while I my car was in for servicing. I arrived at GZ and a lovely spot it is. We have used these BBQ facilities a few times for family events over the years.
I read the description and noticed the comment about loose bricks, they would have been one of the first places I checked but this time I let them be as the description suggested.
I began a systematic search of the structure looking for anything out of place or anything that may have been added, used the camera to check out those high spots, checked all the nooks and crannies then started tapping things, bricks, door frames, window frames... listening for anything unusual. Mmmmm, was that sound different? try again, Yes that was slightly different. A closer examination and the cache was found. Very clever.
Signed the log and replaced it. This one would certainly be difficult on a busy day unless your family can grab the nearby table.
TFTC

Cool hide. TFTH!

Very sneaky, nearly impossible to find. Megawat60 and M4YB helped me, though. TFTH

Came here two days ago and was stumped. Went home, re-read the clues, and had an inkling. Returned here today with a milk crate borrowed from the nearby shops, and had the cache in hand in minutes. Ingenious! TFTC

Phone battery died after a long day of geocaching so I went to find the caches in wireless hill park, lucky cravo10 had found these caches before and was able to take me to within 5 meters of this cache, would've been searching for hours if cravo10 didn't get frustrated with my failure and we began to play a game of "hot and cold". Tftc duck43

Found this excellent cache with hammock - nice day in the Park.

Great hide. Coords a little off so took longer than it needed. Clever. Worthy of a favourite vote.

Another difficult one.

Found it! Spent an hour or so at Wireless Hill with BelKen who were showing me the ropes. No one about so we were able to carry out a thorough search and came up trumps.
TFTC Duck 43

We met a new cacher up on the hill as it is a good spot to test out some of the skills and there are a variety of hides to be found. It will be interesting in the future to see how they handle the more easily found caches that are out there. Some of these duck caches are devious.

Thanks for the cache and welcome to caching Stell@blu

DNF spend far too long looking for this and was starting to attract too much attention.

Worker muggles all around

Wow!! That was a tricky hide, with some persistence we found it though. Love a cache that is a little different. Many thanks.

Had a glance at this on the way past as there was a large group of people at the BBQ. Parked their cars up under the trees next to the outhouse.

I spent the day geocaching with the Ricklinks and Iluvtrekking...It was a great day with beautiful summer weather...warm but not hot..We found all the caches on the list plus more...Great company and beautiful weather couldn't ask for more.came back for a 2nd visit to find it this time.TFTC

Second duck 43 cache for the day, this was another cleaver hide. This one only took me 17 minutes to find and log. Thanks for the interesting hides it makes it a lot more enjoyable when you make the find. Thanks for the hunt.

I had a good look around abd was unable to locate the cache...TFTH

Finally!!!!! This one took about 3 or 4 tries but was worth the effort. Very clever indeed, must have taken a long time to create. Certainly not what I was expecting. Great job Duck 43, I can now finish my assignment!

Mmmmmmm very tricky. Already had a find and a dnf in the park so geokids' patience was wearing thin. Will have to come back by myself as this one has got me intrigued.

we will look agin throw

Had a very good look and feel and another duck stumps me.

Found this great hide. Proper log to follow when we get back to our PC.

TFTC! cYa, Grandma, Grandpa, Beckster

The fence has been removed so it can be found but workmen maybe nearby.

all ok

Best we wait the completion of repairs.

Currently a construction zone - too many people picnic-ing to break in!

Thanks to the limbo skills of one of our group, this cache was found today! So clever, and hopefully the future of this "outhouse" will include this cache! TFTC duck43.

A lovely day to be out and about today on "Girls Day Out!" where we had a great time wandering the beautiful foreshores of the mighty Swan, and chatting - and chatting... And finding some caches as well.

A bit of a hurdle was struck with this one, but where there's a will, there's a way, particularly for a cacher! So, after the only muggle, a nearby truck driver, removed himself, a version of a rambo crawl / slither overcame the barrier. Just as well the 'audience' didn't remember their cameras! And with assistance of a previous finder the very devious hide was quickly discovered and another slither later we were on our way to the next great hide.

Thanks yet again, duck 43.

Well somehow we were chatting on facebook on the Geocaching WA page and the 'girls' decided they were going to team up to tackle some caches after some chatting about where to meet it was decided the girls wanted to team up and find some 'Duck' caches without their hubbies who always 'spot' them first!

Still with some of the Girls headed up to Wireless hill to track down a couple published since our last visit.

Not happy on our arrival to find a 'construction fence' around GZ. No workmen though and we werent going to be denied our smilie!

My favourite moment of the day though seeing Urch 'commando crawl' under the fence to search GZ with some direction from our side of the fence. Think it still took 3 searches to 'reveal' the cache. But guessing it needs to be disabled currently. Hopefully it survives the maintenance.

Definite favepoint.

Gz was fenced in around the outhouse I think it going to be demolished

The area that it is in is getting sprayed and refurbished. Please check.

Confirmed the fence around it. I suspect they are going to do renovation/maintenance as they are doing it all over the area. Probably will put the cache at risk.

There's a temporary fence around the outhouse at the moment..... and lots of people bbq-ing!

TFTC

Fantastic cache!!! It was very sneaky!!

Hint Use step ladder as it is a hint to finding the cache.

TFTC TFTH Found all wireless park caches.YAY!!




Found on fathers day!!

Well Mr Duck, we came early, had the place to ourselves and looked for a solid half hr before the little people ran out of energy. Having no food on us had to call the hunt off and get this one another day. We will be back.

Had as good a look as possible given the people around. Was tempted to remove the bricks but restrained myself. Had a good poke around everywhere else but no good. As requested I'm definitely logged the DNF. Will give this another go another day. TFTH.

Omg you have us stumped every time duck finally found it our second visit

Mr Duck has put me to shame for a second time by attempting a more difficult cache on my second ever day of geocaching. GZ was easily identifiable from the description, but I'll be stuffed if I know where the cache is. After reading some logs tonight I have some good ideas and will return again, likely with a "tool" or two.

My second try to find this one !!
After searching the gutters for ages Decided it must be some where else. After reading some logs I had quite an idea for where it was. We had a bucket to stand on so I stood on it and bam! I found the cache !!!

Found it second time around. Thanks for a great hide.

geodad found this one. This is our second go at it. Thanks Duck43 for another great hide. Completes the wireless hill caches.

Second time around we got this one thanks to geodad. TFTC

Having decided to go Duck hunting this morning following my 13-hour night shift, I lined 'em up in a row and went off to find 'em. This Duck eluded the retriever. Having since read ALL the posts I now realise that this cache has previously eluded far better cachers than I - clearly a single pair of defective eyes was not up to the task today At least the outhouse came in handy ...to shelter from the rain! What did you think I meant? Arnie to you Duck - "I'll be back".
