Amidst the tranquil lull of the Christmas to New Year period, Thursday evening presented an opportune moment to embark on a geocaching expedition. The clock struck 4:30 PM, signaling the end of the workday, and with eager anticipation, I ventured northward to explore the caches nestled in the central northern suburbs.The fading sunlight cast a serene glow upon the landscape as I arrived at the designated meeting point. A fellow geocacher, Tiger777, stood ready with a backpack filled with geocaching essentials. Eager to explore and uncover hidden treasures, we quickly exchanged pleasantries and joined forces for our adventure.Our GPS devices guided us along a series of caches strategically placed throughout the area. The streets of the suburban neighborhoods were surprisingly quiet, providing us ample space and time to delve into the thrill of the hunt without distraction.The caches varied in size and difficulty, offering a delightful challenge as we navigated through parks, small wooded areas, and urban hideaways. Working together, Tiger777 and I showcased our geocaching prowess, deciphering clues, searching under lamppost skirts, and scanning the landscape for cleverly disguised containers.In the spirit of collaboration, our teamwork paid off, leading us to unearth several caches that had previously eluded us individually. The feeling of accomplishment with each discovery fueled our enthusiasm, and the bond forged through our shared pursuit of adventure added an extra layer of excitement to the experience.As the clock approached 7:30 PM, our stomachs reminded us of the time, and hunger beckoned us to conclude our expedition. We bid farewell to the caches and redirected our steps toward a nearby pizzeria, ready to reward ourselves for a successful evening of geocaching triumphs.Gathered around a table adorned with savory pizzas, we reminisced about the caches found, the challenges conquered, and the joy of collaborative exploration. Sharing stories of our most memorable geocaching moments, we reveled in the camaraderie that the geocaching community fosters.With satisfied appetites and hearts full of adventure, we parted ways, knowing that the treasures discovered were not merely trinkets in containers but memories etched into our geocaching journey.And to the cache owner who orchestrated this thrilling quest, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your dedication to creating such an engaging and rewarding geocaching experience is truly appreciated. Thank you for the adventure and the joy it brought to our geocaching pursuits.This log was written with ChatGPT.This cache took some time to locate, but eventually we turned up the fresh container.

20-Oct-19
Was doing a caching run north of the river and stopped to grab this cache. I have replaced container and logbook as the other container was broken with no lid TFTC
 
03-Oct-19
Ok so it appears that this cache has been damaged for over a year... found everything scattered and termites making a nest with the log book. To preserve your log, I have put everything in a plastic bag and re hidden as I do not have another container
 
12-May-19
Thank you! Headed out for some morning caching. Happy to make the find, though the container has seen better days.
 
15-Nov-18
Find 9 of 12 on a warm bike ride around Marangawheen Heights, picking up all the unfound caches we could see on the map (apart from the multis!)

Quick find and a snake count of zero, which was good. The lid is indeed smashed though.

TFTC Spookydonut!
 
15-Nov-18
The lid of this container is now completely broken and there is nothing to keep the rain out. Log is dry at the moment but it won't be for long.

Out and about with Neva2old and Parkacruz today, we did some caches in the bush, we walked carefully so not to tread on anything that wiggled. tftc

 
07-Apr-18
Another early start with Neva2old to add some more numbers, after getting a few early ones we headed off to pick up A from DKLA.VK before continuing the hunt TFTC
 
01-Apr-18
Just in the area picking up a couple of solved puzzles and some other nearby hides. Parked up pretty close to GZ in Crabtree Street and had a short walk along the sandy path into the bush. Lots of litter around which was sad & annoying to see. At GZ my coords seemed a little off but after reading some previous logs I soon had a promising new location spotted and from there the cache was a quick find Smile Lid is cracked and inner plastic bag ruined, but contents all dry (for now). TFTC

Hi there Spookydonut.

We found your cache **"A Taste of the Bush #1"** at 10:24:00 AM today. This one makes our find count 15115.

We started the day off by logging a nearby puzzle cache that has been bugging us for a while. Then we took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

Today we found 4 caches & DNF'd 0. Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 6m from where our GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

[Cache is still there, but has migrated about 30cm over the course of 2 years due to ~reasons~. Please consider picking up any trash you see.]

The camouflage has decomposed quite a bit, but the cache is now in a slightly better hiding spot.

A very cautious Pomme stepped off the path in his flip-flops to find this cache. The whole family have gathered in Perth for Christmas and New Year coming from the UK and NZ to visit the Perth residents. The coordinates were only a little off for me and it was a case of "I would have put it there" and that's where the cache was found. Nice one. TFTC and Happy New Year.
 
20-Dec-15
Nice hiding spot in a great piece of bushland. The cache was an easy find once I read a log mentioning that the coordinates might be a few meters out - they definitely were for me. Thank you for the cache Spookydonut. It has been a while since the previous find but the cache is in good condition.
