Can I politely request that this one is put out of it's misery. No logs from the CO since 19th May.
Wedding made things difficult but recent logs didnt look too positive. Another time...
Hey CacheCrafter,
Can you please check this one out, pretty sure it's gone. Tried to use my magnet sticky thing to see if I could get it from the bushes (in case it had fallen). No luck

I think it might have fallen deeper into the bush. I'll check on it as soon as I can. Increased difficulty too
Had to laugh at K.B.'s log....had hopes even with lots of muggle workers, but suspect it is deeper now or taken with the prunings. Nice looking park though.
On our Friday caching day, megawat60 drove geoJazz #2 and we meandered through suburbs which did not exist when I moved to Perth in the 80's. Here we dodged a few gardening muggles, and had what we thought was a throrough search, but to no avail. Saw the "barcode" (Munzee) located by the first finder (???). Maybe another time?
This ended up a disaster. There was a wedding on in this park. Parking was a nightmare. The bushes were equally nightmarish. Itchy and scratchy. Eventually spotted the cache not far from the corner of the bushes. Went to grab pen from pocket only to realise pen was in car. Headed back to car only to have a wedding car pull up and double park near GZ. Driver gets out and stands literally on GZ. Waited for 10 minutes but he wasn't moving and was eyeing me suspiciously so I'll sign the log when I come back to find the currently disabled cache nearby and I'll be sure to wear long sleeves when I do. Using the decimal digits from Richlink's log, the cache was accurately placed. Thanks for showcasing yet another great Iluka park CacheCrafter13.
Some say third times a charm, on this one I would have to say fourth time lucky.
Found this morning while out for a bike ride using Richlinks updated coordinates. I swear I have look here previously. Just shows it easier to cache in the day

Found with richlink a few mts east of the posted coords. Thanks CacheCrafter13
Extended search going on previous logs - FelixII must have encrypted the co-ords but we couldn't decode them! Anyway following cachers should have more luck with - 119 & 835.
Out with Mr and Mrs Felix for a quick hour of local caching.
Had to scratch round a little before we uncovered this one.
TFTC.

Another opportune chance for us to hunt some caches for an hour with The Machman.
Took a while to find this one and was whipping out the phone to phone a friend when Mr Felix yelled I found it!
Woo Hoo. Took some co-ords so maybe these might help the next finders.
Still itchy from those bushes though.

If these coords don't work I will probably archive the cache.

Wow finally found this one. The cache was not in this position when I looked for it. This was my 3rd attempt at this cache. Maybe the co-ords were off but I searched this and all other nooks crannies and holes. But finally it's mine. I would love to say TFTC. But don't know. Maybe the next one.
The only problem I had finding this cache were the dog walking muggles passing by. Cache was found within 2.5m of the GZ the GPS was giving me so perhaps add .001 or .002 to the 'E' coordinate if you are not finding it.
Cache was empty of a log so I put one in.
Thanks for the cache.

Oops. I thought I'd put a log in there. Thanks for putting one in Chwiliwr.
Just a quick note. I found the cache right at ground level under the leaf litter so I assumed that it had been dislodged by previous searchers so put it back higher up in the bushes to match the description.
Might explain it appearing where you had previously looked.

Checked coords using iTouch maps, and GZ is in the lake, not in the bushes like it should be, so will have to correct coords.
Hi guys - between the two of you, do you think you could come up with some accurate information because the 'easy find' is becoming farcical. Looks to me like people have given up on looking for it.
Had another look last night. Took 3 different devices with me. All were reading gz roughly within 1 mtr off each other which was pointing me towards the lake away from the bushes with no sign of any cache. Have to agree with olthomas on this one. Its not turning into an easy find as suggested. On the plus side I have mangage to remove several Bottles from the surrounding bushes. So at least we are keeping the park clean
I checked the cache, it is at the right coordinates. I won't be FTFing this one, I saw it being placed.
Second Try .. New Coordinates checked with 3 machines.. Phone.. Garmin and Magellan.. All put me near a lake.. Checked Bushes with Junior Merridale ,... No Luck
Well after a co-ord change came to check this one out. Looked here there and nearly everywhere, I could not find this one searched from both paths. Without actually going into the the garden beds I seem not to find this one. I did find all sorts of other stuff but not what I was looking for. This one is a rare DNF for me I did spend some time here. Found foot prints in the sand in the garden beds but still to no avail. Will be back at a later date. TFTH.
Had another look this morning with the update coordinates. GPS kept putting me in the lake but closer to the bushes so had a scrounge around there. All I could find was some bottles which promptly went in the bin. Might sit back and see how this one goes
There are no bushes at the published GZ, just a couple of sparse trees with very little scope for hides, so that's a DNF for us.
Arrived just before olthomas for same result, Had a good look then left them with it Footy is about to star
GO FREO Might come down for a further look afterwards

Coordnates way out methinks trees but bushes left and right are 25 metres away.. Will try again as this is 30 seconds from merridale's home..
