Must be missing.

Couldn't get this one because of council workers maintaining the gardens. Hopefully I can get it before it is archived.

Looks like this one has gone

Haas a fair idea of where this ought to have been but no luck here today. TFTH!

Searched all over the tree but couldn't find the cache.

Out with wifey and the geodog today for this series and it was a good find by wifey in a part that we both never knew existed TFTC

Solved all the puzzles for the Oz Mega series a while ago and had the opportunity today to see how many I could track down. Manged to have ago at all 23 plus a couple of others, ended up with two DNF's on the series and one not attempted due to muggle activity.

Most were fairly straight forward finds with one or two tricky ones thrown in. All the co-ords seemed to be spot on, thanks for putting the series together KB, I visited a lot of great spots that I didn't know existed.

Very easy find, as I was signing the log the muggles at the playground decided to head back to their car which was parked right in front of GZ. I took the cache for a short trip to number five and when I got back the muggles had left so I was able to safely return it to its hidey hole.

Tftc, good hide

Nice easy found. TFTC

Quick and easy found, tftc

Out with the kids making most of a beautiful day I had solved some of these mystery caches when they were first released, but last night I decided it was time to knock them off.
Nice area, thanks for the cache K.B.
AlliedOz aka The Jokers

After waiting for all of the muggles having BBQ to be to occupied with their own comings and goings I darted in for a quick find. I sat on the grass to sign the log then quickly popped it back in place. TFTC

thought we would take advantage of the lovely weather today and finish this series tftc

TFTC! In the nedlands area to cleanup some of the OZ mega series. Having a caching goal to find more puzzles caches this half of the year this series will help with my lack of puzzle solving abilities. Thanks

Parked the car almost at GZ. Was a nice and easy one.

I had the day off to attending a family wedding, so I had a few spare hours to go for a walk along the river and find some caches that have been on my hit list for a while. There were a couple of cars that pulled up as I approached the cache but I took a moment to check the phone and fill up the water bottle while they exited the area. The hiding spot was very obvious particularly given the hint, so I was able to continue on my walk fairly quickly. TFTC kb

On arrival at GZ, there was an official looking guy pacing the carpark making things a little difficult to move in for the hunt... He headed into the little boys room though, so I moved in for a scan of GZ.

A tell tale sign lead me straight to the container and I retrieved it for business. Naturally as I was about to replace the bounty, I was again graced with the presence of said muggle... DOH.

As he passed by, I suggested I had other business in the area that would take a couple of minutes and wasn't going to bother with a ticket. He suggested it should be ok, so once he had moved on and I had tucked this one away, I headed off to the other nearby cache. All done, I noticed on the way out he was from the emergency services and would not have cared whether I got a ticket or not... Yikes... Lucky I got away with it...

Cheers .K.B.

TFTC. Log to follow

I managed to park directly in front of this one, not on purpose, so I jumped out of the car for a quick find. What a great tree! I walked off from here to find the next closest as well. Thanks for the cache and the series .K.B.!

Sad to say that despite all early good intentions, life changes interfered and I was unable to make it to the Mega this year. However all these puzzles to add to the puzzle stats is most welcome. I attempted them all, and found most, with 1 unable to get to because it was surrounded by muggles, and 4 unable to be found.
The rain held off and despite all my finds being micros, they were mostly easy finds, most were found with wonderful views, beaches and parklands along the magnificent Swan River. A most rewarding afternoon of sightseeing. Many thanks, K.B.

Had a free day as Mrs K was busy doing reports so decided a trip to Perth was in order to attend one of the WWFM events and then do the OZ Mega series and a few others in the area along the way.
I solved all the puzzles before we went to the Mega so I thought it was about time to get these done
In the end I ran out of time so didn't get them all done so will have to find another free day soon.

Had to wait out a muggle to leave the car park before doing the quick grab. Signed the log and left a path tag.

Thanks for the cache .K.B. [^]

I solved the puzzles for these caches soon after they were published and they've been on the radar ever since. After chatting to CO at Chwiliwr's event yesterday, I decided that today would be the day, so I did these and a few traditionals in the area with only one DNF on this series and one other DNF for the day, with 31 finds.

Quick find here and I'm thinking I piked a good day to do this series ... not many muggles in these parts on a rainy day, but I imagine it would be pretty busy in fine weather. Signed the log. Thanks for the hide .K.B.

Out for an evening of caching with Kyzabra and thought we'd make a start on the arrow. It was a nice evening and we decided to walk and get through as many as possible. Unfortunately we couldn't grab them all so the rest will be for another evening. Thanks for the caches and apologies for the copy and paste logs :-/

Started caching for this series tonight. Solved the puzzles while in Sydney and on the plane. Made the find quick, SL and replaced. TFTS.

I had solved these puzzles some time ago and tonight headed out with J&J_45 to make a start on the series.
We had a nice walk along the river grabbing a good number of the series and a few other nearby.
Thankls for putting this geo-art together KB.
We will return to complete our arrow.

Someone had been eating a lot of mints!! Thanks for this cache trail.

Attend the dawn service this morning and decided to do some geocaching in the area while waiting to go to work at 12 noon, I work out the puzzle earlier in the week to do today, quick stop and sign here....TFTC

Quick find here... thanks .K.B.

Just relogging under a new account. Signed log under an old account of dcorunna on this day

Quick find with Becalicious1.

Easy find TFTF

Great Series! Solved the puzzle(s) yesterday and popped out this morning to bag the one's that didn't have muggles nearby. What a beautiful day! Thanks for the caches.

Seeing we (BettyBoo3747 and I) aren't going to make it to the Mega (working Easter!) we drove around this series and added to our puzzle collection. Grab a few others on the way.
We had varied fortunes on a sunny Sunday - no parking fees and easy parking, but a couple of spots muggled out.
A carful of muggles were stuffing around at GZ, we out waited them then pounced! Actually we sauntered over, but pounced sounds more dynamic.
Interesting bush remanent here (and cute horse and rider sculpture)
Thanks, Robmc.

# 6056. Day 2 of our caching foray around Perth. A beautiful Sunday morning and so many people out and about enjoying the great outdoors. Our aim this morning was to do the Oz Mega Series of 23 that we solved whilst waiting to board the ferry on Rottnest Island a couple of days ago. We also hoped to find some others that appeared on the radar as we drove around.

And who is J H Abrahams? We read the signs but could find no information. Waited for a car to depart as it was parked right at GZ. Once they departed it was a quick find.

Thanks .K.B.

The geohubby worked all the co-ords out on monday night so we decided we would head out this morning and pick them all up.
All the caches were found without problems as the hints gave a great description of where to look and find them all.
We enjoyed doing the series and it only took us about 3 hours to complete and in that time we even stopped for a coffee break at the tea rooms near one of the caches. TFTC .K.B.

Made an early start today, hoping to find all the Oz Mega 2014 series before heading up into the hills for the Earthcache Event. This was the third stop for the day. Quick find. Thanks .K.B.

Out with Dr.ibl and N Delfos for a late night caching run in Dalkeith to pick up the Oz mega Puzzle caches we did 22 puzzle caches and a couple of traditionals
Only Puzzle cache we couldn't do was 10 as there were people fishing 3 mts both times we went past and this was 1 am

Thanks for some great hides K.B

Dropped by this area on the way home to grab a few of this series. SL TFTC KB

We spotted this series last night and as we will need the practice before heading to the OzMega quickly attempted the puzzles and acquired some promising data. We attempted 23 caches today without any DNF's. This is typical of KB's caches. Coordinates are always good and the cache placed with the intention that it be found an enjoyable experience. Good job KB. Please excuse the copy and paste logs.
Thanks for the series KB

I headed out to the area this morning with Skippy46 to do this series, after seeing it on a facebook post.
Lucky for me she had completed all the puzzles.

We had a very successful day with 21 finds. All were easily found and in great condition.
I left some tags in those caches big enough them.

Thanks for the cache K.B.

A very successful day had by MNS13 and myself, and this one was no different to all the caches found today.
Quick, easy, spot on co-ords and sensible hiding.
This made our day very enjoyable..

Thanks very much KB

Quick find despite a horde of muggles at the nearby playground across the carpark

(catch up log part chwiliwr team)

Out for an afternoon of caching with chwiliwr.

Found cache without problems.

Thanks .K.B. for the cache.

out with T_Samson and N Delfos for a bit of night caching this was one of a few caches that we had planed to do for the night after spending the arvo working out all the puzzles

Found on a day out caching & bike riding with my family (jasenjanine)... TFTC .K.B.

It was a beautiful day to head out with the kids for some bike riding, & of course to find some caches along the way After finding #5 we made our way back to this one... This was our only real encounter with muggles today, but the kids were happy about that... They made a beeline to the playground & left me to the cache With muggles right at GZ, I decided to park my car next to them & when they had there backs turned I went in for the grab! Turns out the find was quicker than trying to lure the kids from the playground

Out for an afternoon of caching with the better half.

Found cache without problems.

Thanks .K.B. for the cache.

This has been a very pleasant by the foreshore. Quick find here! TFTC and puzzles K.B.!

Mrs richlink was on a lightening trip to Perth to attend an appointment so we decided to team up to grab some caches before she headed off home. We had solved the first few in this series previously but solved the newly published ones on the run.
Thanks .K.B. for a group of sensible puzzle caches which didn’t hurt the brain and hides which could be retrieved easily with out alerting the thousands of Muggles who enjoy the river after work.

Had an unexpected quick trip to Perth for an appointment in Nedlands so contacted iluvtrekking to join me to grab some of this new series. Some puzzles had already been solved but some were published while heading to Perth so we were plugging in new co-ords for the later ones while doing the rounds. Looks like we were hot of the tail of SpatialRiq but didn't catch up with him. Thanks KB for a neat series. The others to come will have to wait for a future trip.

A quick park and grab on a quiet afternoon. TFTC

Solved this one soon after publishing, but as I'd already been out on my lunch break I wasn't able to get out and grab the FTF on this one. Was passing by after several FTF's today so stopped off for a quick find. Was able to park literally centimeters from the cache, you don't get much more of a park-and-grab than this! . TFTC.

Saw these published in the morning and later in the day I set about solving three of them. I love quick puzzles like these. Headed to GZ after work and had to wait out a few people standing nearby but was able to move my car to the adjacent spot. Grabbed the cache and had to wait again before replacing. TFTC!
