Major works going on around here. Am archiving this one because disabled listing is preventing me from listing new cache
Will watch development

Due to renovations

The cache would appear to be temporarily unavailable due to a upgrade of the park. Security fence surrounding the whole park.

Thanks Hiddo.

Visiting Leederville for the early St Patrick day celebrations so stopped to log this cache. Thanks Hiddo

Had a blank day on my caching calendar so this one was easy to get to be train & had some recent finds. It didn't disappoint. Even though it was lunch time and lots of muggles about it was easy to watch the skaters and deflect attention. Thanks Hiddo for the hide.

Quick find at GZ while in the area. TFTC.

Back up north of the river again today. This was one of the first ones we stopped for. Quick and easy find with very few muggles around. The over zealous gardeners have pruned the vine, leaving the cache very exposed. Replaced it a bit more discreetly. Thanks Hiddo

Out with the better half on another caching trip north of the river picking up some more of my unfound caches.

Another quick find at this cache as it was exposed. Was put back where it would be covered by vegetation.

Thanks Hiddo for the cache.

Spotted this one on the radar when in the nearby seafood shop and made a quick find despite it being a busy Saturday morning and the sk8 park being alive with muggles.
TFTC hiddo.

Found at 05;30. Third visit and finally glad to grab this one. Thought at this time there would be no muggles but as bad luck would have it one sat on a nearby bench! Patiently waited.... Thanks.

Found with kellyxley after work and before a class we were taking about 100 m away ... not skating though! TFTC!

Nice hide in a busy spot. TFTC

It was gone
New cache in place

Tried a thorough but stealthy search here..... plenty of sk8ers but hopefully they were watching where they were going. We were a bit cautious though as I had seen a syringe further up..... No luck here

Used to work only 100 odd meters away in the 90's and both my boys would have loved this park and ripped it up, hope you understand the figure of speech, but a very stealthy hunt for this beast was fruitless so no joy today. Also quite cagy in these areas for the odd needle, so I was being extra careful.

Have had a good hunt here a couple of times around 5am (so no muggles) but no joy. Can see recently found so quite frustrating! Only issue is this area is used by nightclub spill out as a local convenience so am wary of looking too hard. Yuk. Will keep an eye on and retry soon. Thanks.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Too many muggles!

There were only two skaters in the park this lovely Sunday arvo making it easy to spot the cache with iluvtrekking running decoy for us. Thanks Hiddo.

Not many sk8rs around today facilitating a quick find with richlink thanks Hiddo

Working in West Leederville this week means I can make some grabs in a new area for me
Unfortunatley, it didnt happen here
Nice and early (5.30) meant no muggles, but also meant no find for me
Hopefully hasnt gone AWOL but I could not find anything tha would hold a mint tin.

Quick find between Muggles.TFTC

found it! First visit during lunch was a mistake!
Best times in the morning or mid-afternoon.

Found as a part of the ABCD challenge (GC2P0NW). Adelaide - Perth - Albany. A coffee stop as we hit the road south.

Must admit I had my eyes peeled for muggles, but wasn't expecting them from up above!! Fooled 'em anyway

Found tfyc

Quick grab on the way into work. Much quieter first thing in the morning.

After multiple attempts and help from the CO, finally snagged this one today. Pretty flowers this time of year. Watch out for muggles! TFTC Hiddo

muggles galore

No luck

Great easy find. Took me a few minuets.
TFTC

I tried for this one a while ago but was unsuccessful, I was passing the area this morning so I thought I would give it another go. After a few minutes of searching I spotted it but it was on the other side of the fence. and I couldn't rach it through the fence. I found an open gate and was able to get into the deserted skate park and make a grab. I put it back a little closer to the fence.

[:(!] At lunch time went for a geobike ride to pick up some caches with LocalBum and this was one of them, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand after several minutes, this was my second visit and the cache was found about ten meters from GZ, we had three GPS,s showing us where GZ was so we widen our search area.

Found after ashort search

Took advantage of the lack of precipitation on the way home and stopped for another look. GPS was indicating a new GZ and the find only took a couple of minutes this time. SL TFTC

I wander by here quite often and today the gps was directing me somewhere different. And it all became apparent very quickly from there. Good hide.

Coords might be out, lots of muggles, so gave up.

***FTF*** tough one for me. Such a relief to eventually spot a tin; I wasn't believing it was even present. Nice artwork nearby, even better around the corner. Off to cranked to chat to similarly Lycra clad enthusiasts. Thanks very much Hiddo.

Popped by on the way to work this morning as it is only a short detour. KB turned up soon after and we spent a while looking. Headed off frustrated that the GZ was apparently in the middle of the car park. Would appreciate a check on the coords for this one.

No joy this morning. Once sno seeker arrived and parked right on GZ we didn't stand a chance. I did find a few great spots to hide a cache; too little too late now you've spottoed a secret spot.

Stopped in on way home from basketball - it's still there

Stopped briefly but a stream of youth who seem to enter the park by jumping the fence near GZ halted my search. Will return in the next day or so to attempt a decent search.

Gz in car park and muggled everywhere including council workers picking up any rubbish they see. Good luck everyone!
