Searched everywhere. Looked at previous photos. Fairly certain we found the correct spot however the steel grey horse is gone. Such a shame for our 5 year old on her first hunt
I think this one might be gone now. There’s a very new construction site next to its location, so might have got caught up with this.
Couldn’t find it, looked every where. Scrolled through pictures and every where people said it should be it wasn’t.
We have given up, a park of me believes it’s disappeared

Found this very cute little cache just as the heavens opened up and caught without the brolly which had been left in the car. Blast! Quickly initialled a spot close to the top of the log and returned to its spot. Then made a beeline for the car. Fortunately had dry clothes at hand. Tftc.
Quick find after work. Found it on the ground, placed it in a spot I thought it had been hidden before. TFTH
Wasn't in the first place I looked, but turned it up after spotting something poking out. TFTC ManJas6981.
Find number 2 for the morning. Down this way picking up my new geopuppy.
Found with geocousin.

My only non smiley's between Armadale and Serpy are the Trottercise series. Seeing this one had recent finds I thought it was worth a shot. Parked on the road close by and walked in. Luckily it was quiet today and after a couple of minutes searching 'Steel Grey' was in my hand. SL quickly as kids on dirt bikes approached and quickly rehid before they spotted me. TFTC ManJas6981 Its good to know one of these caches still lives on
The first find for my 3yo son, he was so excited after we couldn't find another cache in this series. Thanks for the cache 
Took a bit but finally found it. Doesnt help being short! 16 January 2016 5:37 pm Honeybee-perth
TFTC! Out with Cravo10 to find a bunch of caches a fair distance South East of Perth. Had a good fun finding another BnB indefinitely caches, a few of the rainbow Serpent series, a few stand by me and a bunch of odd caches. Thanks for a good morning.
Looked on both sides of the creek in lots of perfect hiding spots but no luck today. Thanks for the walk anyway.
Headed out to Byford this afternoon for my daily caching fix. Ended up with a 100% strike rate in the short time I had.
Arrived at GZ here and after searching around for a bit I figured that I might need to be on the other side of the creek. Procrastinated for a few minutes about making the crossing and decided to just go for it. Shouldn't have worried, it was a piece of cake. Rummaged around for a little while on this side and was just about to give up when I checked one last spot and found it without needing to bend down.
ManJas6981 I found your cache at 5:03pm, this was the 3rd of 3 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2162. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Found this one a few days ago but no cache was attached at the time so wasn't able to sign but found the little steel grey none the less TFTH.
TFTH.Heading home, enough light left to grab a cache.
Quickly found the horse but no container. We can fix that. Back to the car and a replacement container complete with log is attached to the grey.

I think the cache is meant to be attached to the little horse but there is nothing there. I looked around and couldn't find it either. 
Originally logged under family name of clan-wallace now slowly transitioning to new name
Someone had cross threaded the container & so the log was a soggy, saturated mess. Luckily I had a spare so I replaced it & Geohubby made sure the container was properly sealed this time. TFTC

I was out and about on an early morning caching run and this one was on the list.
A nice find here and there was a muggle nearby gardening (at this time of the morning
) so I approached from the far side and made the grab 
I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers at WA GOES BIG IN 2015, in Busselton.
Registrations are now open - log your 'Will Attend' at GC5GR5X

I was heading home along Thomas Rd and saw this cluster of caches in the newer development here. I had a spare hour to kill, so decided to turn them into some smilies. I parked up at the nearby road where the bridle trail crosses, and walked across the reserve to this one. After checking a few possibilities, I found the right spot, and sure enough the cache. TFTC ManJas6981
Like the cache idea and it was nice to see some horses and gigs in the area.
Many thanks

A quick and easy find after parking on the road nearby. SL. Thanks to ManJas6981 for the cache.
Found it after a quick search. Sometimes you just have to take a step back and look. Signed the log. TFTC!
Out for some bike riding with my family (jasenjanine) & we found this cache along the way... Thanks ManJas6981
Took the kids for some bike riding around the bridle trails of Byford with hope of finding some caches along the way... We were on the wrong side of the creek when I started the search, & quickly I realised I needed to be over there! That was when I went to cross & put my hand on a branch & got bitten by some unknown critter
With some cursing & dancing around I was ready to cross & begin the search on the other side... My GPSr was not pointing me in the right direction, but after a few minutes crossed back to the kids as they were well & truly sick of waiting for me! I then had a quick read back in the logs, did another creek crossing & was happy to have the cache in hand this time
TFTC ManJas6981
At least I found one after 2 DNF's & muggles present at the other! Now time to go home for some antihistamine for my hand which is swollen like a balloon

Now time to go home for some antihistamine for my hand which is swollen like a balloon Muggles walked past just as I spotted it in the other tree. So I grabbed it after lil red dnf. Too easily spotted so I tucked it in a bit further. The log was soaked so I did not attempt to retrieve. t4tc
Tftc was extremely fun to cross the creek on the fallen tree. Even Geomum had a go. As stated paper was to wet to log.
Me and my friend were HIGH with excitement when we found this. We nearly fell in the river looking for it.
GEOMum found the GEOhorse
We flew from Munich to Perth and visited my sister and her Boyfriend at their new Home in Byford . It was a nice Holiday in Australia !! Nice geocaches everywere !! Greetings from Germany .

Today we took a drive to Byford to pick up a few caches,
that we had missed on a previous visit.
We covered a lot of km's on the bikes, with some great caches found.
These caches were fairly spread out, took a while to round them up.
All caches were well hidden and in good condition, we found 5 out of 6 in the area..
Many thanks for the series, ManJas6981.

After driving the geocamry out from 'Lil Red', I parked about 150 metres from this one and walked the rest of the way. Quick find on arrival at GZ. Signed the log and headed back to the geocamry. Thanks for the cache ManJas6981
Last find for us in this series. This was the most clever horse of the lot. Thanks for introducing us to some lovely spots in Byford.
Took a while to find it. Was expecting it to be somewhere else. The site is picturesque
Needed to find one today to fill a hole in my calendar. When I previously looked for this one I was searching in the wrong place and although I expanded my search, I did not go far enough. As I got back to the car two young ladies ask if I was Geocaching. It was nice to meet "the lester lot" and her friend and chat about her caching experiences with Campbell Crew.
Thanks ManJas6981.
Thanks ManJas6981.
[:(!] Went for a day of caching to find a few caches and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.
