(Not) Gate 17 Subiaco, Western Australia, Australia
By Hiddo on 25-Oct-13. Waypoint GC4QXCZ

Place where cache was is under construction and had been for some time...best to free up the area for now

Will check on this week

Found fake drain cover but no cache I'm afraid. CO maybe take a look.

I found the cleverly placed false drain but there was nothing inside. Spoiler photo attached to show no cache is present. Can you replace please.

See note. Cache is long gone.

On a short caching run after some sausage sizzling at Bunnings. No joy here. The place where I thought it might be based on the hint is fenced off. Thanks for the hide Hiddo ... I might be back.

One phone with gps and GC app died then looked at the website on the other one and saw the comment with different coords which sent us to gate 17 instead of 24 at least. It was getting late so we have to come back and search with all the right info.

We were searching and looking, but no luck today.

No joy today. Waah.

Thought I'd better grab this one while it's quite tftc

I must have not been looking hard enough. Couldn't find this little guy today. TFTH

The better half and I were on our way to help with the sausage sizzle and had a bit of time spare before we were due to help so did a few caches nearby.

Found only after refering to a previous log that had newer coordinates in them.

Thanks Hiddo for the cache.

Coordinates changed from:
S 31° 56.676 E 115° 49.715

Coordinates changed to:
S 31° 56.670 E 115° 49.715

Distance from original: 36.5 feet or 11.1 meters.
Finally got around to checking on this after some feedback.
Found cache to be in different position to where I placed it.
Have updated co ords to current position to save further confusion

Found it

Out on a geoexpedition with M4YB today and as we were in the area we made a last minute decision to look for this one before catching the nearby bus

Quick park and grab TFTH

TFTC! Out on evening caching run to pickup some local caches. Thanks

Found during my lunch break - very quiet today near the oval. Thank you for the cache Hiddo.

Most annoying nano ever I actually looked in the right place straight away but didn't notice the little container, so started looking somewhere else... Then I decided to check again and yay, it was there TFTC

Sweet Lord and Saviour, co ordinates are bad. Time spent here has blown any chance of beating traffic

Excellent. Not too much trouble finding this clever cache - although it was a distance from the coordinates.

Stormy weather had us running for cover before we could find this one had four of us walking up and down the wall with no luck. It has defeated us this time but we will return

After the DNF of a few weeks ago, decided to revisit with the "corrected" coords mentioned below. These took us straight to GZ. Very easy find. Coords stated above seem to be about 15m out! Thanks.

For it spotted by the geokid nice one outside Subi Oval TFTC

A very clever hide. I would never have thought to put it there. Found this one early this morning, just killing time while the rest of the family has a sleep in. TFTC Hiddo

Nice hide cheers

Great camo

TFTH!

Ollie found it! Thanks good one.

Out today with me scooter,while parents visit banks and lawyers so I came out to tackle some caches along the trainway pathway.
TFTC

Didn't realise that there were coordinates included in one of the logs below. Probably would have helped!

haha cool little hide! I like it! tftc

Nice quick found with the hint. Tftc.

TFT NANO - good one, good hint

Well hidden

Found it! My first nano, didn't realize how tiny they can be!

Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

Remember, everytime you hide a nanocache God kills a kitten and the Dockers lose. Go Power.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

This one haf me stumped for a bit. then gave up and walked off. Only to have a thought and back I went for another look. quickly found cache in pieces spread out. signed log and put back together and re-hid. TFTC

TFTC - needs to be a non-footy day to give you time to look around!

Thanks Skippy, the cords helped. Still was fooled by the nano and it's'normal' location

I wandered about without success, but finally found the cache at an indicated

S32 56.666 E115 49.713 with the help of the hint.

I think the cache must have legs and wander about. TFTC

Had us walking about for a long time, Put this one down to the Geokids! Excellent hide!

This one had us walking up and down for a long time. Excellent hide!

Nailed it

This took a long time to find, as the GPS had me over by the limestone wall, and I was not planning on searching the bottom of that fence. There was only 1 thing over there that kind of matched the hint, but it didn't have the cache in it.

After going back and forth and expanding my search a lot, I eventually found the cache with my GPS saying 12m to go. I took some coords there, in case they help anyone else.

Thanks for the cache Hiddo!

Tagged along with Skippy46 today, for a trip into West Perth. After we had a coffee date with M4by we head out to find a few caches.
For the short time we spent up here, we did quite well. With 10 finds and 2 DNF's
Most of the caches were easy enough to find. I left tags in those containers that were big enough.
Thanks for the cache.

This was going to be our last find for the day but it wasn't meant to be.........another time

Coordinates changed from:
S 31° 56.719 E 115° 49.750

Coordinates changed to:
S 31° 56.676 E 115° 49.715

Distance from original: 318 feet or 96.9 meters.
Moved this one in order to squeeze another cache in

Very nice. Anzac day and no one about.
Thank you.

Don't pull up the bricks. ..

Wow this one should have found but a guy was hanging around so I had to leave it.
Was using the iPhone 3 which was not zeroing in well, I like my Magellan GPS.
Next time!!!!!!

Swift find whilst working nearby
Tftc

Great hide

Teeny weeny

Unexpected cache when a phone call had me walking further than planned at lunch.

Didn't have a pen, due to this, but took a photo. Will return in future to sign.

A very clever hide. Quite liked this one. Well done Hiddo.

Very sneaky! We were almost about to give up. Tftc.

Had to go to West Perth, from Floreat, so stopped off at a quiet midday GZ. Took a couple of minutes at the GZ had me in a planter box. Hint was very handy as it got me the find, some 10m NE in a much more likily position. Nice camo work. TFTC.

It's still there

Good 30 min try. But fail. But can help feel was close

Still no luck and still feel a bit self conscious looking around in this location on a Monday evening. I'll bring reinforcements next time.

Mistraluna and I had been planning a day out for a while now and today was the day.
We had a fairly good run with a mixture of caches, some joint finds, and some individual efforts.
For myself, it was 21 from 23,

After having a previous DNF in its previous hide (muggled), I was keen to get back and mark this off my list. GZ jumped around a fair bit and it was Mistraluna who made the find (about 8 metres from where I was currently searching)

TFTH Hiddo. And well down on perservering with this hide.

Out with Kyzabra this afternoon for a bit of a caching run up in the city. Somehow we ventured further west, and happily found both a parking spot and the cache at gz. Sneaky hide. Thanks Hiddo

Woohoo finally a find! Third time lucky, thanks to a wee hint! TFTC Hiddo, well worth a fave!

My Geofriend had this in hand before I had locked the car, but that was due to a small hint, thanks Hiddo.

3rd time lucky!!
Awesome hide Hiddo

Checked on this one after having received a couple of "couldn't find it remarks yesterday"....still there

Used the old coords and we where looking on the bus shelter whoops
We'll come back soon and try the new coords

2nd try with updated coords
will keep persisting at this one

This was an easy find.
Took less than 1 min to find
Didn't even use my GPS.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Coordinates changed from:
S 31° 56.721 E 115° 49.760

Coordinates changed to:
S 31° 56.719 E 115° 49.750

Distance from original: 52.8 feet or 16.1 meters.
Previous bus stop location was muggled too many times

Still a nano just in a slightly different location- still outside gate 17

Will shift slightly in the next few days cos it's been muggled twice now

Looked every where I could think of but just couldn't find it (I suck at finding micros)

After a 5 minute wait for the bus to take the muggle waiting, a thorough search returned nothing.
Either I'm going blind, or it's gone. Knowing my later form, probably the first option.

[8] [8]

No muggles any near here, so a quick find and an empty seat to sit and sign the log

Thanks for the cache [^]
[:o)]
This is my find number 2778

Up early to get some caches for the day before heading south to my girlfriend sister's place, Glass bus stop work well.TFTC

Mmmm a bus stop in the early morning, I half expected to find passengers waiting to go to work but luckily it was empty. I am glad that this shelter is made of glass, it made it much easier to spot the cache rather than have to let the fingers do the searching. It would have to be the best looking nano I have ever seen.
TFTC Hiddo

Enjoyed the early morning caching around Subiaco and the bike ride around Herdsman Lake.
Went to some wonderful locations, with a great variety of caches and hides.
Thanks for making our day interesting, Hiddo.

Checked on this b4 training and it's gone so have replaced with another. Same same (same spot same cache)

I think its been MUGGLED

muggled maybe ??

Quick park and grab on the way to work this morning. SL TFTC

Having eliminated every other possible location near GZ the cache was finally ours. A well earned smiley.
Thanks for the cache Hiddo

Found on Melbourne cup day...Sorry for the late log.

Easily spotted through the glass. TFTF

Quick n easy went with a geobro

Quick find on lunch break. Workmate searches whilst I was lookout. Nothing suss here! Thanks.

Found in the first place Mrs Blingg looked
TFTC

A quick find by geokid on her birthday.
TFTC

Here from the US and not having much luck with Aussie caches. I looked up, down and all around. Didn't try climbing on top, didn't really have the ability to. I'll bring reinforcements next time.

A beautiful Sunday to be caching and no-one around at gz making it a quick find. Thanks Hiddo.

Made a quick find with richlink. TFTC.

Awesome colour cache! Thanks so much Hiddo

Published

First world dilemma....sitting at a lovely coffee shop with fellow cycling enthusiasts enjoying a delicious hot chocolate after a river loop in perfect conditions. Phone bings to announce the publication of 3 caches. One is a little over 1km from "home" and another is a little over 1km from current location. Not really a dilemma...the caches were never going to get a look until the hot chocolate was enjoyed.

When I left brekkie in West Perth, I headed to Subi to try for a FTF on this cache. Success! Yay!

I hope this cache is sufficiently magnetic to last the distance...it took all my willpower not to hide in what I thought was a safer location. Thanks for yet another hide in this area. It's one of those mornings when I appreciate what a stunning place in which I live.

***FTF*** at 8:45am or a little after.
