Cheers for this sneaky spot and great camo. Signed log and placed back into position as found. TFTC
Took a bit of searching and a PAF, but I got there eventually.
Thanks for the cache GHFB.

Headed north of the river for a morning caching run after a few FTFs this morning in maddington pit a dent in the time we had planned for a full day in the Wheatbelt, so we resorted to plan B for the day which was urban caching.
Found most that were on the list, a couple of DNFs which is always good to come back for. All in all a great day out and not too much walking in the heat. Thanks to the local COs for their hides.
Glad to knock off a nemesis cache here. Don’t know how I made this so hard?

A day out with B12 as he organised another leave pass for a few days. Northern suburbs was the main location for the day. Thanks GHFB

Managed to find after a few drinks. The more you have the more flexible you become!
OMFG finally after many attempts to retrieve we made it ... its 952 Pm Managed to retrieve with help from DIL ... wow had a few drinks and I think this helped .. defiantly need flexibility. TCFC
A combination of teamwork my ever present aid & PP1s TOTT. One you spot it the rest is relatively plain sailing. TFTC Ghfb
Just having a little drive around visiting a new suburb or two This was one on my list today to stop off at. There was no-one around when I pulled the car up... but just as I got out and locked the door a couple of muggles crossed the road heading straight for GZ. Decided to hang back hoping they were just walking through, but no, of course they had to climb the stairs to the top. And then they sat down up there No idea why but it looked like they were getting settled in. So I wandered over to see if I could spy anything. At least from where they were sitting they couldn't see me directly below them. As luck would have it, something did catch my eye... but the challenge now was reaching it as I couldn't attempt from the stairs in the intended way. Back to the car for a TOTT which after a few goes did the trick Cache successfully retrieved and replaced without them being any the wiser Got back in the car to drive off and could see they were both sitting looking at their phones... so they weren't even sitting up there for the view. All good with the cache though - TFTC
A very sneaky hide.
A trip NOR to gather some smilies.
TFTC Ghfb this is find # 6115 for us.

Cheeky! Good hiding spot went up the top and found nothing so went to the bricks and looked up! Bam! TFTC
Phew a few treks up and down the stairs with no luck!
Then hubby had a walk about, couple of looks and then he seen it from stepping on one of the window holes.
Cache was in hand

Tricky hide here!
With the weather looking fantastic we decided to head out of the house to spend some time caching. This area was on the radar given we haven’t grabbed many in this neck of the woods. We had an absolute blast around here today! Cheers and TFTC.
G’day there GHFB, I was in this area today and found your cache I can see my house from here.. GC47NV5. I added my name to the log book at 1:16 pm on 26 August 2018. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!
This cache find brings our total find count to 9961. Woohoo!!

There was a muggle doing his daily exercises up & down the steps, it made me tired just watching him. We will have to come back another day
Got a sore neck but couldn't find a cache. Didn't have a lot of time either. Really nice environment, here. TFTC

thronsy.4 and Hawkeye secured the cache with a bit of persistence
Retrieval was certainly more difficult than expected Replacement was much easier

Day 69 of 365! Two months down 10 to go! It’s been fun following through on my New Years resolution.
Golly what a hide! Bit tricky when you’re looking and there’s a bunch of muggles everywhere. Finally found it after climbing up. Tftc with Thro60clan

Walked up and down stairs - looked underneath. But saw many possibilities after reading previous finds. But to no avail. No sightings.
After reading the logs I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to reach this one anyway, but I looked all around for it to no avail.
After going up and down the stairs a few times I could finally see it, but couldn't reach it, even with my long arms, finally reached by seandom tftc have given you a favourite point
Found this one while visiting my uncle who lives very close by. He said he had helped 2 ladies who were caching reach it ages ago, so he knew where it was. I could only just reach it myself. Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache.
TFTC. Came earlier in the day to try this one but only just worked it out now.
Same as Rebothy1 used my brain and hubbys braun to lift daughter to new heights tftc awesome spot
Great hide- my fingernail brushed it. But my arms are faaaar too short to be able to get to it no matter how hard I tried. Will return another time when I have help or an aid of some sort... Not a dnf, but not a find until I can write in the log.
No I could not see my house from here! Well we found the cache and could get our finger tips on it but had a lot of trouble getting it in our hands, I t does not help now that the weather is getting warmer and the stairs are a little hot to lie down on. Plus my arms/limbs are not a flexible as they used to be. But we persevered and got there in the end, Many thanks for the cache.
tftc found with hhheddy, it was quite difficult to retrieve the cache especially with the steel stairs being quite hot and not much room to be able to reach the cache.
Headed out for a day of caching around the Ellenbrook area & this cache was the first find for the day! Searched on the wrong level for quite some time, but eventually located the cache.... Or should I say TWO CACHES Do we get an extra smily for that

Wow. What a find! Spent 20mins searching abd searching on my belly until I thought I would try the monkey bar approach and voila! Wad signing the log withing seconds.
Many thanks go to Ghfb, I found your cache I can see my house from here... On 26 September 2016 at 2:18 PM. All is well here. This is my find # 487 TFTH! NZJESTER

Tftc. Was starting to get annoyed with this one. Even once we located it, I couldn't reach it with "dexterity".
Very good hide, had fun with this.

The hubby and I were on a mission today to find 22 caches so we could log our 9000th find. We decided to come up to the ellenbrook area as we haven't cached here before. We found all the caches without to much problem with one or two that took a bit of searching. After going up and down the structure a couple of times the hubby found the cache TFTC GHFB
Awkward yet awesome grab whilst lying flat on my belly, using pen helped to leverage it out. TFTC
Found it with the help of mugglemuncy but yes took a bit of contortion! TFTH SL
Found the other day with @parkacruz but have just upgraded to premium so logging now. Great hide
Logged under Mummy & Daddy's name smileyjims but I have my own name now, I found this cache with them and wrote in the log book with them TFTC
Third time is the charm! Visiting friends in Australia, and this was the closest to their house, so I came down here twice before with no luck, but coming back from an outing to Perth, I decided to approach this task logically. I stood at the bottom and looked at the thing and thought to myself, "Where could I put a small geocache that was not visible but was reachable?" I saw a couple of options, and even though I surprised myself at the odd shape my arm could manage, I felt the cache. Excellent geocache, and thanks to the cache owner for this beautiful challenge.
Heading up this way the rating of this looked interesting. As we got close we saw what was a head so parked close and wandered over. A few muggles around so we took in the view first to scout out the place. As we moved around we spotted the hide and then we moved into position for the grab. We completed the signing duties and re hid TFTC.
Place was full of muggles, no luck having a stealthy hunt, will be back
Cache has been replaced with a slight move on the structure. I doubt you can see this one and is a find by touch alone, for that reason I am upping the difficulty setting from 1.5 > 3.
Rant time, I checked on this cache this morning because there nave been NO logs since the previous finder in January. I've checked the audit trail and 10 cachers have accessed the cache details in that time and assuming half of you actually looked for the cache at GZ without success then why are there no DNFs? This would have alerted me to the fact that the cache is no longer there a lot sooner than when I happened to be driving by today. Log your DNFs, there's no shame attached to them, rant over.
Came back for a second look with just the geokids and found it within 2 minutes...typical! Very sneakily placed, I like it. TFTC!
Went for a drive with the Better Half to do the newer caches around the park and then came over here to do this one. Spotted cache but had a bit of trouble actually getting it. Placed back where we found it. Seemed to be a busy place over the road at the 'office'.
Thanks Ghfb for the cache.

Sigh - just as my faith in Ghfb was being restored (read IMDb followed by Birds Eye), he goes and upsets me again!!!!! Actually we were killing time waiting for our Supa golf slot and found ourselves here. Must have spent 20-25 minutes looking and there are a couple of spots that are worth further investigation but eventually we had to give up and go back to see the miserable receptionist at Supa golf to claim our spot on the fairways. This one will continue to annoy us though so no doubt we'll be back, probably armed with extra tools and a different time of day. Might wait and see if anyone else makes a find first. TFTH
Nice quick grab hopefully we have not been seen TFTC

I can't see my house but it was a challenge to spot this one. And step in wet cement while looking for it...TFTC
Pesky cd chr! Had me searching for about 10 minutes. Thought I'd have a sit down and check logs. Then I could see it bam! thanks.
Ah, this is my type of cache!! Plenty of possibilities requiring a keen eye and patience. Had some difficulty for a few minutes until I took the sunglasses off and then....wallah!
Thanks for a good hide Ghfb.

I found the cache but it certainly wasn't in the first place I looked. Fortunately it was a little before 7am still so the area was largely deserted. Retrieving the cache cost me a nice scratch from wrist to elbow along the inside of my arm. Most importantly, another smiley on the map. thanks for the cache.
Out with helbren for a night out and decided to quickly grab this 1, spotted this pretty quick, tftc
Called past for second time, no work being done this time, way too wet for any sane person to spend more than the 15 minutes I searched in the driving rain and strong winds this afternoon!
I will return tho!

Awesome cache. Took a while to find. It'd probably actually be easier at night with a torch. Hard to see in the shadows.
After a fullon caching day Mrs Felix and The Machman were heading home. Albeit dark and late we just had to drive past this cache enroute.
After Mrs Felix pointing out the cache MM had the retrieval sorted at a stretch.
Log signed in the dark so no guarantees its legible.

FELIX and I were on route home from a BIG day out caching up in the hills when this one
popped up on the GPSr!!!
It was already nightfall, but we still managed to uncover the cache... we were then contemplating on how
we were going to bend our limbs to retrieve the hide... when i suddenly thought of a much easier option.
Even with this technique it was still a stretch !!!

Mrs Felix and Mrs AusTrackers had a planning meeting for WA goes BIG in 2013 - GC45X55
Then after testing out AusTrackers draft 'intercache' it was time to go and get cheap petrol at Malaga for the GeoCruiser.
Just happened to do 55km afterwards picking up some newish caches that we had yet to find before heading home.
Pretty sure I saw the cache but no way am I able to retrieve it.
