First attempt at finding cache disappointed wasn't there. Felt certain we were in the right spot
It doesn't feel great, first cache in a long time and we have come up short, I think we may be a but rusty.
Out and about to grab a couple of caches on a saturday afternoon. The wife stated that I was getting underfoot, and I should go out for a while. Never one to argue with the great ideas of the other half, grabbed the GPSr and off I went.
The plan was to grab or atleast attempt some of the caches that were close to home and on the todo list, insome cases for years.
Once I rounded the tree, the banquet become obivous and the cache container also.

Thanks shayne'o for bringing me to this location. I found the cache at 1:21:00 PM. This was my 3 Find for today out of a Total number of 6 for Today. The cache was found in Good Condition and I returned the cache as I found it.
This find brings my total number of Finds to 3745.

A day a work that takes me out bushwalking and being able to grab a couple of caches, I'll take that.
2 quick finds and 1 DNF on a fantastic walk around the lake.

I'm sure the mozzies from the last cache have been following me in the shade, and asked all their friends to come along. As soon as I got to the shady GZ the feast begun. It was so bad that I had to make an escape to the sun to sign the log.
Another easy find to complete the series.
Thank you for the cache shayne'o

TFTC! Another BIG days caching with Cravo10 on our standard Thursday Jaunt!
With the weather looking ridiculously hot, with temperatures in the mid-30s we decided to head South to the Area of Mandurah (and surrounds) to take advantage of the cool breeze coming off the ocean.
we've also still got a heap, and I mean a heap of green dots still left on the map down this way, we might have to spend a week down here to get them all cleaned up!
We spent the day collecting park and grabs all around the suburbs of Mandurah which seem to be growing significantly with house after house popping up down here.
We loved the variety of caching down here today with some good camo caches, some nice history and lesson learning caches and some nice simple ones to round out a lovely days caching.
Had problems with a few, but overall a very successful day collecting 30 plus caches including an archived cache in Banjup on the way out today. Thanks to the COs for a lovely day out.

10/9/16 Wooo hooo! Chloe from the RMSfamily was the lucky finder! Awesome hiding spot!
TFTC! Great series and the kids had fun finding the easier ones 
Kids were getting tired so left them in the shade and I made a quick find.

A beautiful spring day that could not go past without some caching. After a little research of nearby unfound caches we chose the Black Swan Lake series to take an afternoon walk and explore the area. 9 caches found from 9 attempted, so a good & productive walk.
Last one for the day and an easy find by Mrs K. Tree wasn't as striking as CO described but can imagine how it might be at night in the wet.
Thanks for the cache shayne'o [^] - cache was good and dry.
This was cache # 9 of 9 today for a total cache count of 2839.

Good way to end the series... And the workmen had gone home by now so we took the short cut back to the car. ..
TFTC shayne'o! Sorry, we're logging this one 15 months after the find due to unforseen circumstances!
We met iluvtrekking at the nearby multi at 9am to do the caches around the pond. It was very nippy but the brisk walk soon got the blood pumping. A beautiful morning and the geo-schnauzers led the way. No problem finding, co-ords spot on. Thanks shayne'o
We met up with richlink to grab a few caches in the Mandurah / Rockingham area today, seriously, we could spend a week down here and not make a dent in our unfound list. The weather was beautiful, though a little cool at first but that didn't dampen our enthusiasm. Thanks for the cache shayne'o.
8th geo cache found on this mornings walk. The cache was exactly where I expected it to be. Took a "WA goes big 2013" pathtag. TFTC
We found the tree and after a vigorous hunt could not find the cache. We will try again soon - hopefully we will have better luck next time.
What a lovely afternoon for a walk around Black Swan Lake, 2 black swans included. Found this one second time around. TFTC/series.
Was returning home from Mandurah and decided to do some of the caches that I hadn't done in the area before departing.
Found the cache without problems.
Thanks shayne'o for the cache.

Dragged my bike into the bush. In hindsight would have been better to go to picnic table just south of GZ and walk in from there. Quite an impressive tree from the front and amazing from the rear with the "modifications".
Thanks for bringing me to Black Swan Lake for an enjoyable caching cycle.

Originally found under family caching name clan - wallace now branching out under own caching name
TTW and his friend were more intent on tree climbing than looking for the cache, so it was up to geomum to eventually find this one. This is a great walk trail with plenty to see. SL TSLS TFTC shayne'o.
Took awhile to spot this one as it was well covered.
Many thanks

A little dash through the grass and a quick search gave me another smiley.

We think the termites have had a real banquet and eaten the cache! Despite braving the long grass for ages, it eluded us this time!
As the grass was quite long I remained on the path whilst geohubby made his way to GZ to locate and sign the log. This was find #8 of the afternoon. We enjoyed our walk around this lake, thanks for bringing us here shayne'o
We will come back in summer when it's much warmer to grab a smiley at Wildlife on the Lake

Definitely an awesome display of termite feasting! This tree is amazing and despite it all is still very alive ! Tftc!
Out for a ride around Black Swan lake with my family (jasenjanine) & Team Kyzabra, we found this cache along the way... Thanks shayne'o 
Headed out to enjoy some of this beautiful weather with the kids & the whole Kyzabra clan 
Kyzabra looked one side whilst I looked on the other... He was on the correct side & soon had the cache at hand! TFTC shayne'o
Kyzabra looked one side whilst I looked on the other... He was on the correct side & soon had the cache at hand! TFTC shayne'o Headed out today with Muggle wife, Geo kids and Jasenjanine and her tribe to do this quick circuit around the lake.
Was a magic day and while my wife rode off witht eh kids, Janine and I hit the cache trail.
All the traditionals were found failrly easy and logs were all fine.
There was a lot of grass heading up to this one so plenty of stamping to scare away the snakes. We were worried when we got to GZ by the amount of possible hides but trusting our GPS and we made the find.
This was cache number 7 out of 8 for today. Also our total find number 1990
Thanks shayne'o for this hide.
