nnnnnnnn

This one needs archiving kb, nowhere to be found.

Did not find this one.

I suspect this one has gone. Looked low as per previous logs' suggestions but alas no cache to be seen. Thanks anyway.

TFTC; my first puzzle. I got stung by a bee while finding though

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

No wonder I had trouble finding it at night? Tftc

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

Nice day to be out geocaching. TFTC!

Running some errands around town & decided to try & find the remaining Oz Mega's whilst in this neck of the woods... This park was very busy today, but nobody noticed me & my little offsider searching for the cache! Started looking at the wrong level, but after a lap around quickly discovered the prize

TFTC & the puzzle .K.B. [^] Cache was in good condition.

[font=Verdana]21403 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] [^]

Our second in the series today after a brisk walk across the park from the previous one. Another easy find thanks to your accurate coordinates. Because of the misty rain this morning this lovely area is devoid of muggles.

Thank you! Have just recently seen these, and will try to find them before they disappear.

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

Nice quick find here today.

Only a couple left of those remaining in the series, which is just as well if we want to beat the commuters home. TFTC

Out in the area today with 30 minutes to kill before a meeting.
I always try to grab some of this series as I know their days are numbered

Nice hiding in a beautiful little park. Using a spare hour in the area to tackle a few more caches in this series. Thank you for the hide and for the series .K.B.

Thank you

A good find by wifey this morning in this nice park while attempting to complete this series. TFTC

3rd time lucky. Encouraged by the recent discoverey of the cache I returned to the tree and this time it was an easy find. I should have looked low on my other two visits. No sliced and diced fingers this time. Cache is almost new and I was the second to sign the new log sheet. Thanks for this and the other caches in this series .K.B.

BE CAREFUL AT THIS ONE AND LOOK FOR THE CACHE LOW! THERE IS BROKEN GLASS IN THE FORK OF THE TREE ST WAIST HEIGHT - THE CACHE IS AT ANKLE LEVEL!!

A nice quick find after looking in the wrong place initially

.K.B. - jinta29 found your cache Oz Mega 2014 #22 on 21/03/2015 12:33 pm. This is my find #3021 and find #3 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Had another look while I was in the area. Found #23 on the other side of the park (on my second visit), but not this one. All I got for my trouble was a cut finger from a broken bottle shoved under the leaf litter in the fork of the tree. I think it's a goner (the cache, not my finger).

Third of 4 DNFs this morning. Nearly time to head home after my early morning bike ride.

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

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. TFTC.

Solved the puzzle many months ago, and decided to visit GZ today. Perfect time of year! Big Christmas Party nearby. Nices easy find.

This may be the very last find of the series for me and it was quite a challenging one due to it being well hidden. Its a really nice park too. TFTC KB

Found on a second visit... Fresh eyes helped spy this one.

Find 3 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.

We would agree that this one seems to be gone

Solved the puzzle now out to collect the smileys Tftc

Followed cravo10 on his hunt. Tftc

I'm sure I had the right tree - there was a mint tin piece of bark cut out but no sign of the cache.

No luck here for me.

Not attempted, smoking muggle teenagers very close.

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.

After being muggled out at #23 I wandered over to grab this one. A quick find once at GZ.

SLTFTC

LOVE SUDOKU. Nice easy find. TFTC

Easy found, second cache from KB today. tftc

Nice spot. A muggle was taken selfies and wasn't interested in our actions.

Sun now in bed, I continued my mission to complete this series in one afternoon. Afterall, I had nothing to do until tomorrow and a hotel room is not that appealing when you are on your own...

A nice short walk from th car, GZ only presented one option as the GPS counted down and I quickly located the prize on arrival at GZ. Tucked nicely away, I stayed put to sort business out and with that done, I was on the path to the next in this area... [^]


Cheers .K.B.

Out for a bit of night caching and dinner and a few drinks getting a wee but chilly but having fun finding these caches, tftf

mr and mrs Helbren went to the Kardy for dinner and drinks with mr Helbrens sister Troutsky we then popped down to freo to find a few caches with 1 find and 4 dnf's we thought we would try our luck elsewhere, i had the final coords saved in my phone so off we went to do some of this series at 9:30pm and boy its a nice cold night and glad i wore my hoodie to keep the old noggin warm, thanks for the series (and sorry for cute and paste logs)

Thank you!

I walked over here from the other nearby one, past a group of school children doing some sort of exercise class. It was a quick and easy find over here, which was great! 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.

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 ... and i just realised that the other DNF (GC43KYR) has been archived ... I think I need to run my pocket queries more frequently!

Quick find here after my GPSr took me in a big loop after I left the path. Used the torch to get to GZ, but didn't need it to find the cache.

Last cache for the evening for me at 7:17pm ... and the series complete apart from DNF at #20.

Signed the log. Thanks for the hide and the series .K.B. ... had an enjoyable afternoon around the river and now looking forward to seeing a big smiley arrow on the map.

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, 2nd last one to the morning and I made a lady jump who was cleaning up after her dog...TFTC

The last day in Perth of chasing up mysteries, solved but not found, with BettyBoo3747.
Muggled a few days ago, we figured we would try again now the Mega has started.
Still several muggles in the park, but fortunately not in view of GZ.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 6235. Our last day in Perth and we are out and about still chasing a few unsolved puzzles and a few nearby caches. We make an early start hoping that all will be quiet on the usually busy roads.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back again as we were muggled out last time. Nice houses in the street we approached from this time. Still a few locals lounging in the grass but GZ was nicely screened from view. A quick find and now onto the lucky last of the series down by the water.

Thanks .K.B.

Back at the river on the geo-bike to find the rest of the Oz Mega caches.
Another quick find in the same park, TFTH.

Swung by this morning to grab the two that are close together here. Nice and quiet. SL TFTC

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 huge park, mostly empty - except for four muggles sitting right next to the GZ tree!!!!!
An inglorious end to a very enjoyable series.
Thanks for putting out all these cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

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.

We had solved all the Oz Mega puzzles as they were published. We had already logged some a week ago and decided to complete the series on our way home south today - slight detour. Thanks KB for all the effort put into these caches - quick finds, easily assessable and some scenic locations as well.

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 nineteenth 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

Back in the area today so went out for an extended lunch cache hunt. Found this one first pretty quickly. TFTC.

So this was the 14th for our day!
Got to GZ, and I heard megawat60 say "you can find this one oh there it is" in one sentence....
What a great series it has been, and we sure appreciate the amount of work you have put into it, K.B.!
Plus we have enjoyed riding our bikes along the foreshore, something we have never done before, in places totally new to both of us (me, 30 years in Perth, megawat60, 37 years!)
So, on the last find, another fave to finish off!!!!!

Was hoping for her to get the find this time, but I just happen to be in the right spot!! Our last for the series so I want to say a great big thanks to KB for this work, I think I know how much effort you put in and it's so cool to have the arrow of smileys, a definite fav for the whole series, tanks 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.

Came back again late today to do some more of this series.

No problems finding this cache after some dog walking muggles departed the area.

Thanks .K.B. for the cache.

The hardest part of this cache was finding somewhere to park. Turns out we made it harder that it should have been but finding another quick cache made up for it.

TFTH KB

Found after a quick walk in the park. TFTC

Lost a fair bit of blood trying to retrieve the cache as there was a broken bottle in the tree hollow beside the cache . I removed the offending material and when replacing the cache I laid it down so that it is easy to get out
TFTH

FTF - found on an early morning caching run, thanks KB

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
