Enjoying a long walk in the beautiful sunshine today. Came past the zoo and dropped in to find this one. No luck for us, think it's gone.
couldn't find it, a school group was around so didn't get a good look
will try again

Nice easy find on my stop over in Perth. Also introduced my muggle friend to geocaching. Tftc
Woohoo, finally found this one! I've visited the zoo a few times and never had the chance to find this one. The first time I came it was missing, and the last time I was with family and didn't have the GPS, so didn't get the chance to stop.
This afternoon the zoo was just closing so it was a quiet time, and I was able to have a good look around and make a quick find here.
Thanks for the cache Barnzy12!

Cheeky little bugger, this is our 340th find. Log full so unable to sign but got a pic if needed. TFTC.
After a day trip to the zoo we decided to start the year off with a cache or two. We tried for this last year with no Luck. Nice to add a smiley. Wow what a small nano. The log is full. TFTC
Read the clue on approach and thought "too easy - been told exactly where it is", but there's a few benches to choose from! TFTC Barnzy12.
tftc quick easy find when i eventually used my gps to find the right bench. Searched 4 other benches DOH!!!
On the way back to the airport for flying back to Hamburg we took a break at Perth Zoo. Nice stop to see some Australian animals. Before we legt from here I had a few minutes to increase my find statistics for Australia.
TFTC!

We have been meaning to visit the zoo for a long time but haven't yet gotten here. For now though I've logged this cache on my way to work this morning. At least when we do come to the zoo we won't have to worry about waiting for muggles!

Just my luck that every bench outside the zoo was vacant except this one!! Waiting waiting waiting for muggles to move on... Walked off and found another cache nearby, muggles still there. Sat down and played a few rounds of Candy Crush, oh thank god they've moved. Would hate to try this one on a weekend!! TFTC
As we wanted to visit the zoo we found this cache. We were a bit late so we decided to visit the zoo some other day. Thanks.
Found this cache together with Jack Dalton while visiting Perth CBD + Zoo. TFTC.
Arrived early long before the zoo opened so had the place to myself and was able to make a quick find thanks to the hint. At last this one can be listed as found. TFTC!
After a lovely day at the zoo I whipped out my phone.
A few potential locations, we checked them all until the cache appeared.

Have come across to sunny Perth for work this week, and decided to go visit the Zoo with my Victorian Zoo membership.
after having a lovely stroll around the zoo, I left and made a beeline straight for this cache.
in amongst people leaving the zoo, I employed a need to fix something on my person (I am sure you can work that out when you find it) to locate the hide, it was a quick grab, then a longer return amongst further people leaving the area.

Found it after a nice afternoon in the Perth Zoo where we saw a baby kangaroo and a picky koala.
I dragged my grumpy father and brother towards the zoo entry from the nearby snugglepot and cuddlepie cache. They must have still been distracted by all their complaining about the rain since they realised too late we were walking further away from the car.
I tried to use them as a sneaky shield against muggle eyes, but they weren't very good at it, even though they both had big umbrellas (one partially broken). They've accompanied me geocaching before, but maybe they are only fair weather cachers.
The hint made for a quick find, so as soon as I finished rolling up the never ending log paper we walked back to the shelter of the car. I had fun sneaking around in the rain, even if my family didn't understand why. Thank you for the cache

After visiting the zoo for the day and we had just finished up and I had left the family in the gift shop and headed out to grab a cache. The area was clear from muggles and it was a simple case of locating this sneaky little hide, thanks Barnzy12 for the cache.
Found before a visit to the zoo, as I was lucky enough to get a clear run to retrieve and replace the cache on this beautiful day. Thank you for the cache Barnzy12.
Exactly were it was supposed to be. love watching geokids trying to be discrete! TFTC
Kids found this one today after a day at the zoo...lots of muggles around so it helps to have the kids around for cover. TFTC
Nice quick catch! What a spot. Gotta love the Zoo. Great place for a nano.

Quick find here while waiting on the rest of family to arrive for an afternoon at the Zoo, great location and such a busy little spot. Thanks for the hide.
Found it with Noah5ark. Didn't have a pen on the way to the Zoo, will fill out logon the way out.
TFTC nice one we did it on our way into the zoo it is our second last day in AUS
I couldn't find this. Am pretty sure I was in the right spot. I'm thinking it has been dislodged bysome. Will come by and look for it again another time

Wandering around South Perth for a short bit of afternoon caching with adam111316. Weather was humid but rather nice.
Tried to inspect every pole, pillar and everything in between, but nothing came of it.

Had a quick look on the way in and a longer look on the way out but with no success. Sigh
After an amazing day out with the family, we decided to try for our very first geocache find. Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. Will try again next time.
This was to be our one for the day when we visited the Zoo with daughter and granddaughter. Not to be. We could not get the gps to settle.
Thought we'd pick this up after closing time. We searched and felt dislodged a spider and did not find.
After a morning at the zoo it was time to jump onto the ferry and head into the city, after turning on the gps we still were not sure which structure, I was just about to change search
Ovations when that sweet sound came from one of the temporary ska kids, a niece, found it. It was here first of this type, I am amazed it survives in its hiding place. Top stuff

We're friends of the zoo and have tried searching for this little fella a couple of times with no success the iPhone keeps jumping all over the place. Better luck next time.
