Oz Mega 2014 #19 Applecross, Western Australia, Australia
By .K.B. on 22-Mar-14. Waypoint GC50TAT

Long overdue for archive.

TFTC! Found it without trouble. It brought back memories of me doing swimming lessons here a very long time ago.

Managed to find this while dodging Muggle Mum's and kid's coming and going from swimming lessons. TFTC

Tftc

Many memories of my six years studying here! 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

Thank you

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

Nice quick find. All is well with cache. TFTC!

[font=Verdana]21389 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] [^]

Taking turns to get in and out of the car in the misty rain, this time it was Muggle Hubby's turn to find it, and find it he certainly did. Our fourth in the series this morning.

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.

Totally muggle free, a nice easy find. Full of water. Signed log CW....log now full. TFTC

Nice hiding spot, but next to a very busy car park. Opportunities to retrieve and to replace the cache were hard to come by this afternoon. Using a spare hour in the area to tackle a few more caches in this series. Thank you for the hide .K.B.

A nice hide and another one of the Oz Mega 2014 series. Thanks .K.B for the hide.

After having lunch down by the river we stopped by to grab this one . A nice easy find thanks to the clue

Was in the area this arvo for a meeting with some time to kill so decided to clean up a few more of the Oz Mega Arrow.
Managed to park close by and make a quick grab here.
All is good with this container and room left on the log.
Thanks for the series .K.B.

A good find this morning with wifey and the geodog while attempting to finally finish this series. TFTC

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, in the location I thought it would be (ie. near the downpipe). Nobody else around this morning so that made for an uncomplicated search. Thanks for this series of caches .K.B.

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:)

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. My final cache of the morning which i'd left for my return trip. 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...
Had to wait around for a while and looked really suspicious as the cleaner moved his stuff inside and watched me with intent.
TFTC K.B.

find 4/4 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 19 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.

Finally logging what I went out and found with barnzy12 and cravo10 over last week or so. TFTC TFTC

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.

Last one in the series apart from the tricky one eluding us last weekend. Thanks for the series and the trip around this area!

Last find of this series .. Thanks

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.
First find for the morning.

An easy find thanks to the instructions. Thanks KB for an enjoyable morning geocaching.

I had a little bit of time to burn this morning before the family woke up, so I stopped by to find one more of the Oz Mega series. Nice and easy, since I read the description and a few of the recent logs before beginning the hunt. I am still aiming to complete this series before the next Oz Mega event, but at this rate it is not looking promising. TFTC KB

Decided to have a loooong lunch today and finish off this series.

I've been meaning to return and finish this series for some time, it was a spur of the moment thing but the weather was just looking too nice to be indoors all day.

This was the second of the 9 remaining and a quick find once at GZ. Parked over near the river and wandered over. After a few minutes of fruitless searching I read the cache description and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC.

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 quick find

SLTFTC

Tftc, hint helps a lot. Probably would have more fun without reading it

First one on the east side. Nice easy find kill in a sec hehe. C9 Franky grabbed a special UWA cache - open day show bag haha TFTC and hint.

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.

The description saved us a lot of searching. Cheers.
Thanks for the cache K.B.
AlliedOz aka The Jokers

An easy find once I read the description for #19 as GZ was about 5 mtrs off. TFTC.

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

Our first cache in Australia! Yipee!
Several months ago we solved the puzzles and today finally after a short while we found this little tin. Great start!

I imagine this one could be quite tricky at times, but today it was nice and quiet and I was conveniently dressed to avoid too much suspicion... Handy... [^] I Moved in to GZ and quickly spotted the container. Out for business, I added my name and tucked it back. My reappearance into the real world was uneventful which was also very handy, so I jumped back in the car and moved on...

Cheers .K.B.

This was the last one on my list of Oz Mega's today, but when I arrived at the coords that were in my GPS, it was a quiet suburban street, and there was no where to hide a cache, nor anything that matched the hint.

Hmm... so I checked the online description to see what I had worked out wrong on the puzzle, and it was the minutes that was wrong, not the seconds, I had typed 48 instead of 49. Once corrected I headed off to the new location, and made a quick find there.

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.

A quick find - all was good and dry.

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.

Third one. Parked near the Zoology department to do this one, the next two and a couple of traditionals in the area ... had a good walk and managed to avoid getting rained upon.

Thinking I had a feel for what these hides would be like after the first two, I found a different type of hide here. Took a couple of minutes and had to wait while some muggles passed by before and after I grabbed it. Signed the log. Thanks for the hide .K.B.

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

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 stopped to get this one to watch a couple racing the rubbish bins out to get picked up and missed the truck and the second one too. It is great to see funny things in the morning...TFTC

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

Fairly quick find tonight with this one.

Nice well hidden spot. 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.

Finishing off the four remaining Oz-Mega series caches.
Did not check the coordinates, so first I was a bit worried as this looked a bit different from the others. The area was really quiet on this Saturday morning, so located the cache easily. TFTH

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.
We didn't expect that there would be one here. Still weren't sure of our numbers until the cache was in hand.
They we figured - it's a cache , we'll sign it anyway
Thanks, Robmc.

# 6057. 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.

As we did not know where all the caches would take us today we were glad it was a Sunday or some of them would have been extremely difficult to do. Rob quickly had the cache to hand 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.

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. Although it is a Monday morning, no muggles around so a quick find. 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 fith 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

Second find of our second day of Perth-Oz Mega caches! A quick grab while geofriend megawat60 stayed in the not-quite-legally-parked GeoJazz. TFTC and series K.B., great fun!

More hovering for me on our second find, she was nice and quick and now off to bike ride a lot. Thanks KB.

Another nice quick find here. Thanks .K.B.

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.

A quick find at GZ once I could get the GPS to settle on it.

Thanks .K.B. for the cache.

Managed a quick find here in the only obvious spot, according to the clue and only with only one muggle to avoid.

This one had me guessing for a while, but fortunately I had the right coordinates despite the lack of a checker on the published page. TFTC

Quick easy FTF @ 0915, lots of muggles going to and coming from the building so timing was essential
TFTC

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
