Went and checked after a few DNF's and it has disappeared. Will replace shortly.
Couldn't find it
There was a spot we thought could have been the hiding place, but it has been disturbed.
We will watch this one as we come to the WABC quite often.
Thanks

A late log for a fathers day find... ferreted out by Detour Junior before she challenged herself on the adventure playground. Lovely local spot! As previous finders have said, the log sheet was soaking, we only just managed to sign it. TFTC
Just came over to have a bit of fun on the playground I helped install and said to my
Geo-daughter let see if there are any around, and there was this one right here. But I need a pen doh. Nm. But it need a new log bit wet.

So proud of myself right now! The Log is a bit wet and soggy. We tried to dry it out a little but we were in a rush. Think the O ring is missing. Love it though. Very clever.
Kimmoose made the find after searching for a while. Great hide I love these kinds of playgrounds. TFTC.
Once the GPS settled, I sat back, considered the clue and had the cache in hand in seconds. TFTC
Met a couple of new cachers looking at GZ. Since I didn't have kids and they did then it was a great meeting for me. Then I found the cache and I am the hero. Nice hide by the way.

Phew, I was very happy to find this one. A bit lucky after searching in a few places, I just made the right move. I was happy that there was no one using the playground this afternoon, giving me plenty of time to search.
Thanks for the cache thanatos123

We had a quick look here until muggles arrived so decided to return after we had walked around the lake. We thought we understood the clue..but it didn't help us. We will have to return another day.
About time I found the bosses handy work. Very nicely done. Last find for GeoKid 1 on the school holidays. TFTC
Geofail on this one on a stunning clear day, despite a team of Geo-rugrats ferreting away. Couldn't seem to get a reliable Geofix and note others' comments re this.
Looking forward to returning to find what is reputably a gem...

TFTC! Quick find whilst out with JoshyT07 on a georun thru inglewood and surrounds. Good hide here, thanks
We're new to this game and clues didn't help? Maybe next time. I'll try dreaming of it too.
Well, after logging a DNF yesterday, geo-wife awoke this morning that she had an geo-dream last night about the cache, and thinks that she has worked out the hint, and had an idea of where to look. We headed back to the playground, which was full of muggles. So we took geo-dog for a walk to find a couple of other caches in the area. We did a lap of the sporting complexes across the road, including the basketball, rugby and athletics stadium, which are all brilliant. We then continued around Challenge Stadium, past WAIS and past the new WAIS facility, which is under construction, but looks brilliant. We finally made it back to GZ, and using our best stealth move (as there were still a few muggles around, geo-wife had the cache in-hand within a minute.
A great cache, a favourite from us, if you can make someone dream about your cache it must be pretty good. TFTH.

We had to be patient as there were several groups of muggles enjoying the playground on this magnificent day. We searched high and low for 30 mins, but no luck....we will be back....
Found on a predawn raid of Perry Lakes. It was still very dark when I dropped by, but I had a good torch. I was onto the right idea in the first instance after reading the hint, but my first check was obviously not thorough enough. After exploring some other options, I figured it could be in only one place and returned to where my search began, finding the cache shortly afterwards. A fav from me. TFTC thanatos123
In Perth for the afternoon while wife and friend visit local guru. First time at Perry Lakes???? didn't see the lakes. GPS had me all over the playground. It eventually settled and I had cache in hand at first feel. (very lucky). Great hide, thanks for the challenge.
Wow finally found this. Updated co ordinates helped a lot!
The clue didn't make sense to me at the time, but it does now.
Frustrating but in the end so worth it.

Finally found this arvo with geobro. This was the third visit. Correct coords helped immensely. The cargo hint had me looking at the cargo ropes. Doh now I understand! Thanks for a great adventure. NOTE: added new log sheet.

Have the coords been updated? I tried again but couldn't find it. Convinced its in or under the log
Second attempt. Fail. Still looking around the log but sure we've tried everywhere! Keen on new coords from CO.
Coordinates changed from:
S 31° 56.798 E 115° 47.222
Coordinates changed to:
S 31° 56.798 E 115° 47.225
Distance from original: 15.5 feet or 4.7 meters.
Double checked today the co-odds I grabbed last week when it was cloudy. Lucky I did as they were way off. These should put you right there.
Don't' forget the clue.

Passing through and checked it, still in place and hard to find. Got new coordinates on a new device so will update when i get home.
muggled? Couldn't find this. Anyone got a clue? Searched high and low at the trunk with animal engravings
Too tricky for these Pirates!
But what an excellent location! Thank you so much for bringing us here, the kids had a BLAST on the ropes course....ok, mum and dad did too
We will return!
TFTC!

Did not stop. We intended to nab this cache whilst in the area, but there was massive muggle activity in the area with no sign of them leaving. I'll save this for an early morning run one day.
Out up this way for a morning of geocaching with the geohubby. We left early to try and beat the traffic and by 11.30am we managed to find 21 caches and zero DNFS. Most caches were found quickly with only a few that took a few minutes of searching. We ended up having to PAF here as there was a few muggles about making it hard to search. Good hide TFTC thanatos123
Quick find at this one today with few muggles to hinder the search. Thanks thanatos123
Found by 7 year old Geokid within 1 minute of looking after he played on the great new playground for 15 minutes while I searched everywhere else as co-ords had GZ 5m away.
Found this one ages ago with cravo10 but neither of us remembered to bring a pen, was able to log it today. Tftc
Looked all around the area in 5m radius of GZ. Touched something unusual but didn't find the cache. Went for a walk around the lake, read all the notes, then went back to the playground. Sure enough the cache was at that spot. A favourite point awarded for ingenuity.
A fun morning caching, before the heat set in.
Spent some time looking at the great artwork on the tree trunks in the area,
after locating the cache. Awesome, a favourite point from us.
Thanks for bringing us to see this, thanatos123.

Last one for the day after the nearby event. Lots of laughs here with several teams all searching for the elusive cache and all Gps pointing in different directions. Well done to WA K Team who spotted the hide. TFTC thanatos123.
Another quick find here by Gwiber as I acted as a decoy for the nearby muggles.
Thanksthanatos123 for the cache.
Thanksthanatos123 for the cache.
Out grabbing some nearby caches, post event, with AUS Vrede. Arrived at GZ with about 5 teams searching all over. After a while Mr K got down to it and did a thorough search were some other had looked and found the well hidden cache, much to the delight of the gathered throng . Then ensued a lengthy log signing ritual before the throng dispersed again.
Thanks for the cache thantos123 [^] - nicely hidden and worth a favourite from us
Day 154 in our current daily streak

This one had Ricklink, Iluvtrekking, JoshyJayPlay and me looking all over the park...After looking all over the park and checking every little hidey spot...I pulled up with the goods...TFTC
Clever one! Nice imagination.
We found this one after the event today, there were probably 10 geocachers and my geodog, and Mike found it. We all signed along! TFTC

Out with JacobsCrew for the day and we had fun finding a variety of hides...TFTC
Found this with some help from other more experienced Geocachers from the Pirate event. TFTC
With WA K Team & many other event attendees we poked & prodded until WA K came up with the little monster! Neat hide. tftc
After the event a whole group of cachers were looking for this one and WA K Team found this one for us. Thanks Mike.
Headed out with duncdonut73, Sfibol and her geodog after the event. We ran into a bunch of other cachers at the GZ, and one of them came up with the goods. TFTC
This was just my kind of cache.........many,many teams climbing over a small area looking for the same little cache. The finding honours went to WA K Team ....well done [^] and thank you.
A quick sign of the log and we were on our way home after a very happy day.

Very clever hide, thanks thanatos123 we had fun

Wandered over to gz with iluvtrekking and JacobsCrew. Could have taken so much longer but JacobsCrew spotted the clever hide around 5mts from gz. Thanks thanatos123
Was struggling a little bit when fellow geokids came and found it immediately with a hint. TFTH
Success at last! Managed to dodge the muggles here and make what we hope was a stealthy find early this Sunday morning! A great cache and well worth a fave for its construction and bringing me here.... twice! TFTC thanatos123!
A very clever hide and with my geofriend we succeeded. Great place for a walk in the morning and luckily not too many muggles today. TFTC
Hip hip hooray!! Finally... Very nice hide my GZ was 10m south from find on my garmin- a fav from me thanks Thanatos123
PS..checked gravel rash while in the area and it's still there

After reading some comments on the FB page I have to log this... Hunted again on sat without success...I need a mirror please Santa
A quick stop on the way home from swimming at Challenge. This cache doesn't look like it's going anywhere in a hurry. Great construction! Thanks for the hide thanatos123.
Had a real good look this arvo... My GZ was in the middle of wood chips. Expanded my search but too many spiders for my liking. Will be back with tools
Checked it this morning an all is good. I'm please after being stumped by some of yours Hiddo, that I can pay you back
Not today! I spent quite a bit of time at GZ, then when I was in a fairly undignified position searching, a muggle walking his puggle approached, then I noticed 2 tradies sitting in their van having lunch. Time to depart, but I will be back here some time!
Relatively quick grab on the way home from an expedition to Bunnings. Nobody around on a 39 degree day - they are all too smart to be out in the sun. SL TFTC
