Unfortunately I did not find it today, I’ll be sure to visit again for another attempt.

Thank you englishozzy for the challenge.

Nice find and stopping point to go exploring with the border collie, took a few mins of searching with the phone gps throwing me around but got it eventually. Thanks for the cache been on my hit list for a while.

Thanks found it

This was are third attempt at this one. Easy to find when the grass is a lot lower. Cache in great condition.

Found after about 5 mins...excellent TFTC

After not been found for 2 years, and a long walk in I wasn’t expecting to find anything here. After a 5 minute search I discovered something familiar. I didn’t really want to trek back here. TFTH

We have been here twice now and looked around for about 20 minutes each time with no success. Noticed that no one has found it since April 2018.

No quick or easy way to this cache...
Strangely I came across a jogger, here, in the middle of no where...

The cache was in good condition. The contents are dry and the container is sound..

TFTC.

A nice quick find whilst on the trail today. Dont know how we've never come past tonfind this cache

Trailwas very well marked although s slightly slippery walk in some parts given recent weather around the areas

Thanks again

a nice little walk in after being in the area the night before and realising we had always been too lazy to walk in for this one, Well today was the day ! TFTH

Thanks englishozzy for the cache. It was found in Good Condition

This find brings my total number of Finds to 3469.

I approached this one from a poor direction, and had to do some serious bush bashing. Wet feet. but cache found

We decided to take the dog for a bush walk and pick this cache up at the same time after sitting here for nearly 1 year with no finds.
We rescued a TB that had sat here all this time too.

Found this one with Leega and the Geohound. We made the trekked into the deepest darkest depth and searched for a short while and found the cache. TFTC englishozzy

Found with axel33 and geodog on the nice walk today to get to it. Tyftc

Been meaning to do this one for ages. So today was the day, Dog and myself walked in from the golf club about 7ks round trip.
Took about 20min's to locate it once I got there, not been done for a while and well hid.
Enjoyed it.

Followed the path in for this one, thick nasty bush around here. SL TFTH

We took notice of a previous log which said it was best to follow the path rather than walk cross-country so took the long way round. Had to be careful on the track as it was quite slippery. As we got close to the location we noticed some blue tape on a bush so thought maybe it was an indication of a way through to the track near the car park. Not so!! We spent a long time following kangaroo tracks which eventually took us out onto the main track but a long way south of the car park and through thick bush of various types.

The satellite image on our computer showed a track through but there was no sign of it today. Better to stay on obvious tracks which though longer will be quicker. We were glad it wasn't boggy after lots of rain or the height of summer as it looked like snake heaven.

Do-able on a MTB. Tricky on the sand on track alongside Mandurah Rd but once you turn in it's easy peasy and an enjoyable ride. Left a round football for the other type of footy fans. TFTC.

Made the mistake of continuing onto this cache after doing Callum's Kid Cache. The gps indicated a 1.5 klm walk but it took us probably 4 klms of walking various tracks to get to gz as there was no direct route. Glad it was a coolish morning and happy to record visit with iluvtrekking and JacobsCrew2 before the long trek back to where we parked our cars across from the bus depot. Thanks english

Found while out and about with richlink and JacobsCrew2.
They boys headed off down the track in search of the 7 caches hidden here, while we waited for their return. This cache was a mission and a half. With no prior knowledge of the area the boys walked on from Callum's Kid Cache not realizing that there was no direct route. After wandering down a few tracks they eventually arrived at GZ, instead of contacting us to see if there was a shorter route out of the reserve, they walked all the way back to the car. Thanks for the adventure englishozzy.

Found this one with Richlinks and iluvtrekking on a day off caching....TFTC..

(catch up log)

Came down to Wellard with Chwiliwr to help our daughter but was not required today so went caching instead.

We have had experience with the 'bush' around here before so made sure to follow the tracks to GZ and we had an easy walk there and back.

Found the cache without problems.

Thanks englishozzy for the cache.

Originally found under family caching name clan-wallace, now re logging under own name.

I did read the previous logs before we left home, but then the senile dementia took hold and we forgot the advice & took the "direct" root through the bush. A couple of hours later scratched & prickled not to mention a severe poke in the eye with a branch we found the track that we should have taken and a few metres after that the b.... cache. By now there we could here water bombers overhead for the bush fire at Lake Coolyanup. Funny how the LONG route home on the path was much quicker. TFTC.....I think!

This was find #3 of the morning whilst out geocaching in the area and completing the Cache for Kids series. TFTC englishozzy

Parked the car near old Henry and took the short cut through the scrub once at GZ found the cache quickly sign the log and set off to grab the other two at the lower end ....TFTC englishozzy.

Wow we decided to not follow the path. All I can say is what a trek! TFTC

englishozzy - jinta29 found your cache FTF: First to the Footy on 2014-08-23 at 7:24 am. This is find #2036 for us! TFTC and thanks for bringing us here.

Jeez, quite a walk! Nice and peaceful though. I was in the area doing some maintenance on a couple of my hides. I decided to bring Geodog to this spot for some exercise this morning.

Yay a FTF for toniandco and myself! On a beautiful day for ducks, after school drop off we decided to get this cache. Being a man I took the direct route which was way shorter, a lot wetter and dirtier.(This kiwi isn't scared of bugs). Thanks englishozzy for the cache and adventure.

Great cache - thanks
A well deserved joint FTF (on FTF) with Robdog... however I stupidly followed Robdog on his clearcut direct route :O
And by clearcut direct I mean a range of various kangaroo paths incorporating water and mud... not to mention ducking spidewebs *cringe*.
Thankfully our friends the roos do roam right through so didn't have to turn back.
Convinced Robdog to walk the main track back to the car though - yay

Awoke this morning to see a heap of new caches published, so after doing the school drop off I headed towards this cache with my little offsider The weather was not the best, mainly drizzle with a couple of heavier showers to make us walk a bit faster... With only 300m to go we ran into toniandco & Rogdog&bros heading back the more sensible way after they chose the wild way in! Haha... the things you do for an FTF After a quick chat we continued on our way... Not sure how far we walked but I estimate 1 kilometre to the cache

Once the close to GZ we veered from the track & the prize was then quickly found in the second spot I looked TFTC englishozzy... Well done on your first hide & Congrats to Toni & Rob on their FTF [^]
