iiiiiiiii

Tftc and the hint

TFTC! Pretty easy, just a matter of finding the right rock

Found quickly as we race back to the car and collect all oz mega 2014. Well most of it tftc

Another quick find on our bike day out around Nedlands/Dalkieth. Tftc

We had done about half the arrow on a previous visit so being in the area to day decided to finish it off along with one other nearby puzzle. A nice walk around some of the areas but we had 2 DNF's as did the previous searcher so suspect those caches are gone. All logs signed and caches re hid. TFTC

Tftc

I was in the area and I decided to find a couple of cache's. I had solved these puzzles a few months ago. I decided on a route to take and set off. This cache was the fourth closest after parking the car close by. I wandered around GZ looking for the cache for a while until hooray... oh? I found an open tube. This couldn't be the cache. I dismissed it and continued looking I soon found the 'real' cache. It was a nice day to be out caching all these cache's were nice and easy finds.

.K.B., I found your cache 'Oz Mega 2014 #13' today. It was the fifth of eleven finds (and I only had one DNF). The cache was found in good condition, and so I signed the log book and replaced it as I found it. This cache brings my total count to 259. Thanks for the cache. Very cool design.

P.S. - there was an archaeological dig going on nearby, very cool to watch.

Solved the puzzle,now out to collect the smileys.

Found this cache during our 2 week trip around Australia.
Nice and easy find.
Thanks for the cache!
Greetings from Latvia!

Nice walk with geodog along Swan River foreshore. Found it without too much ado. Tftc

[font=Verdana]21393 caches found

Today is the best weather in August.. Enjoyed myself wander around the Nedland/Clarement and on the way to home. [^]

Again thanks to .K.B. for organising the caches [font=Verdana] [^]

How lucky can you get? With many to choose from, the very first one I selected provided me with the cache whilst Muggle Hubby was busy photographing bird life on the water,

Thank you! Recently discovered this series, so I thought I go out and do them before they disappear. Found all but two.

Originally logged under clan-wallace, now relogging finds under new name.

I am not as bad as some but I will admit to solving about 6 individual Soduko puzzles here before I realised they were all the same!! So I had to entice Geohubby out to get them before they all disappear. TFTC

Thank you

Solved the puzzle last week-end and I had a spare hour around Nedlands/Dalkeith this afternoon so I started on this series. This was my first find out of 6 and exactly as per the coordinates. Thank you for the cache .K.B.

It didn't take too long after some flipping to find the cache. North of GZ is a wonderful building. I hope it gets restored. Log is full. TFTC .K.B

Log is full. I added some more paper.

I am starting to suspect that AusLoron selects the destinations of our days out caching based entirely on her likelihood of seeing animals. Seeing water birds induces a frozen like state of appreciation, and if they quack they should expect a reply. Her reaction to dogs is my favourite, she has to go in for a pat, which distracts her for long enough that I can steal the cache out from under her nose! Cheers

After all the hard work I did solving these Oz Mega puzzles (I am deeply ashamed to admit I solved the sudoku 21 times before I realised it was the one sudoku...) Elrin AGAIN picked this one up in seconds. To be fair, I am easily distracted by dogs, and this is across the road from a dog park with so many happy puppies in it.

Found on an early morning bike ride. I am very keen to complete all remaining caches in this series as I see they're soon to be archived. This was a quick find, under the second rock I turned over. Nobody parked in the nearby car park this morning so that made for an uncomplicated search. Thanks for this series of caches .K.B.

I was out and about on an early morning caching run and this one was on the list.

Thanks for the hint on this one . My iPhone had me several meters away

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers at WA GOES BIG IN 2015, in Busselton.

Registrations are now open - log your 'Will Attend' at GC5GR5X



.K.B. - jinta29 found your cache Oz Mega 2014 #13 on 22/01/2015 5:45 am. This is my find #2738 and find #2 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

During my work and travel year in Australia I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge. Having a moving home zone should make this definitely way easier.

Today I planned to get the Oz Mega 2014 series, before it decays even more and probably gets archived. Most of the caches of the series were found and some of the tradis around as well.

TFTC and greetings from Germany

Found on a big geoday with the sis and the geokids TFTC aka dougfam

I had the whole morning to myself and what better way to spend it than going for a bike ride and picking up a few caches. A quick find on this one. The log book was full on this and a few others in the series nearby. TFTC.

Yes, like others I've had these worked out for a while now... thought i'd better find them before the archive, time to go searching...
GEOCACHING ROCKS!
TFTC K.B.

Had a great walk and drive around trying to finish off finding this series!

Good fun, another one found with matey88 on a gorgeous day. TFTC!

find 8/8 for today. made a mad dash and spent the day with the geokiddies trying to bump this series out before archiving. tfts. with teagzd97

Find 14 of 21 in the Oz Mega 2014 series.
Saw the warnings about the series being archived so we sprung into action with a flurry of puzzle printing and solving so that we would be ready for our bike ride around the area today. Spent a couple of hours on lovely quiet roads and in quiet parks steadily working through the series, all quick finds apart from one DNF. An excellent series, thanks for all the caches .K.B.

I've decided to visit this area and to find all caches in this series. I managed it and enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the caches and greetings from Slovakia.

What a tantalising series ... And what a relief to have finally solved them all! Thanks for the fun! We had a fun family outing to find this series broken for many a play and cuppa and cake break.

Found the right rock quite quickly

In Perth for a few days for a wedding, today was the main time I could find a few caches.
I had solved some of these at home and set out to explore.
TFTC.

Solved the puzzle now out to collect the smileys found with itskate Tftc TFTH

Followed cravo10 on his hunt. Tftc

I got up early to find this series which I solved a few months back but never got around to collecting. It was a great morning to spent down by the river. Great series .K.B.

The coke zero lid hint made sense after I found the cache.

TFTC

Out with wifey and the geodog today for this series and it was a good find by me for a change TFTC

Half of the FFLL team is out of Canberra traveling for work this week. We solved this series before she left Canberra in the hope of getting a ferw. After completing her presentations for the day, she headed out with a muggle friend who helped with the finds.

TFTC and for placing this series .K.B.

Out and about to collect a few more of this series today. Most were an easy find but there were 1 or 2 that were a little more tricky. TFTC - Most logs are wet and or full and need replacing

TFTC! Up to Perth for a weekend with friends and family, with a small side stop to attend the event in Sorrento to claim the last of my 7SOA. Thanks

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.

Another easy find in the first place I looked.

SLTFTC

Good find. Lots of lizards

Thanks for the hint narrowing down the searching area. Nice hide. TFTC

Checked for a couple of similar suspected objects and finally found the caches. 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.
Great cords on this series making it most pleasurable.

Nice area, thanks for the cache K.B.
AlliedOz aka The Jokers

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

We parked the car and went for a nice stroll along the river.

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. A perfect morning for some geocaching. Quite a lot of rocks at this location and I think I checked almost all of them to eventually uncover the hide. Happy to move on to the next one from here. TFTC kb

I got the search wrong on this one and ignored the GPS, thinking I knew where the cache would be on arrival... WRONG... After ruling out the obvious spots, I consulted the GPS which put me in the right spot.... Oh, it's probably there then I thought, as I pulled the container out... Oops... Name in the log, I dropped it back in place and moved on... Lucky the GPS can't have a go at me for being cocky...


Cheers .K.B.

I made a little bit hard work of this one. I parked the car, and there was a guy sleeping(?) in his car right on the side of the cache, so I headed upwards on the path, but then realised this wasn't going to be the best approach, so down the slope, towards the gully of rocks I went.

Luckily I was obscured from his view from here, so I was able to find the cache and sign it unnoticed. 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 3 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.

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

Final day in Perth today and managed to get away early from 'work' to grab the rest of this series. Collected them one by one driving along and then was still able to get to the airport in time. Great little puzzle and nice area. Thanx for the series.

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.

This one took a few minutes, then eventually found the cache very close to where I had looked in the first minute or so ... if I'd checked the hint, I would have found it sooner! 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 :-/

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.

Thanks

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, I got and realise I left my mobile phone at the last cache and had to track back , lucky it was still there. I came back to find this one quickly...TFTC

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

GPS made me do a circle before finding this one. TFTC

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.
Ohh...rocks! Luckily only had to turn three before we hit pay dirt.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 6062. 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.

We haven't had to search amongst rocks so far today but luckily there weren't too many so it didn't prove too difficult. Another container that the paint can had mostly missed. A beautiful old house standing guard up on the cliffs here.

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 nineth 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

TFTC

Another day, another couple of this series grabbed on the way home. Nice evening for it. SL TFTC KB

Find number 4 of our second day of Perth-Oz Mega caches....
Thanks for the hint here!
TFTC and series K.B., great fun!

A bit of zigzagging to locate this and try and be as stealthy as possible with council muggle whipper snipping. This is our 5th for the Mega today and all going well so far!! Thanks 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.

This one took a few more minutes than the last few, there was something a tad smelly nearby, but we managed to sign the log.
Thanks for the cache K.B.

ok, well I didn't realise there would be so many rocks to choose from [:/]
But a systematic search soon uncovered the cache.

TFTH KB

Easily found despite muggles being parked close-by
TFTC

(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

TFTC

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

Out in around the Swan to collect some of the OZ Mega series and a couple of new caches. Quick find after reading the hint TFTH

It was a beautiful day to head out with the kids for some bike riding, & of course to find some caches along the way I had solved these puzzles during the week & thought that the kids would enjoy getting out to find them... Quickly moving along from the last, I arrived at GZ & saw rocks! OMG... I could be here forever Turns out, only a couple of minutes & we were then moving along to one of the new ones... TFTC .K.B.

Out for an afternoon of caching with the better half.

Found cache without problems.

Thanks .K.B. for the cache.

I did not find the Coke Zero Lid, but found the cache after a detailed search. TFTC

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.

Published

FTF @ 4:15pm ... log to follow

Woohoo *FTF* @ 4:15pm.

With the passenger seat now full of solved sudoku scribbling I came to the end of the FTF run. Parked nearby in an almost deserted carpark then wandered the 20 or so metres over to GZ for a quick find.

It's been a fun series so far, by the gaps in the numbering I assume there are more to follow so looking forward to getting to those in the coming days.

Thanks K.B for the series as I'll be getting no closer than here to the OZ Mega. Must get to a Mega one day!


Giving this one a fav point for the series.
