Kings Cache West Perth, Western Australia, Australia
By Team Gunn Parker on 02-Jun-02. Waypoint GC5F5A

This cache has been removed by the management of the park.

This area looks like it is now out of bounds for geocaches and as such this cache needs to be archived.
Please DO NOT look for the container as it is not there.

I probably should have made note of the directions given in the description as I tromped through more bush than I probably needed to. Took pewter koala, left Beaver TB.

Anyways, I got to see quite a bit of King's Park on this trip.

19/10/07
Decided on an early morning raid on the caches in Kings park. This was the first cache of the morning nice quick find whilst strolling around the backtracks of the park and dodging the exercising Muggles.

Easy find with *Quokka - TNLNSL TFTH

Bit of bush bashing required for this one TFTH.

In: Bottle Opener
Out: Aussie Keyring

What a surprise for us, after having just found one cache there was another close by. Took Cards left Koala. Thanks

Nice bush walk.
Found it but Hannah got scared by a spider that was guarding the cache.

TB visit.

Found by Mary & David at 1815. Breathtakingly beautiful wildflowers. Found some established tracks and geotrails so we didn't have to stand on anything. Another marvellous cache. Can't beat three finds from one parking spot, and we've managed to do that twice today. TNLN. Our thanks to Team Gunn Parker.

Nice walk through the park, and well away from the flower festival festivities. Nice flowers around here as well. Peaceful spot away from the crowds, TNLNSL, thanks Team Gunn Parker.

Found on my second attempt had to watch out for spear throwers near DNA tower. This cache was full of water and had a cracked lid i suggest that you replace the container.
TFTH TNLN

Found this one on a day out. No idea what ARGco is on about- the container is fine and was bone dry (inside and out) when we found it.
Left Lanyard
Took Hard Rock Keyring
TFTH

I was able to carefully leave this cache insitu while I opened it. Lovely surroundings on such a peaceful cool Perth day for this cache just before sundown. Clear skies and thanks TGP for the cache, TeamAstro.

Had a great walk - the clue did not help us very much but spotted the cache .
Took jeep TB
LN Thanks Jacqueline and Peter #1527

Another bush cache for us. Kings Park is great, we spend the whole day there. TNLTBSL

Thank's see Ya

A day in the Park, fantastic little collection of caches here, enjoyed our first little 'bushwalk', visiting WA from Cape Town. TFTC - TB Storm chaser on move, in Deck cards

An easy find this time 'round, in exactly the same spot as I was looking last time. Apparently having your eyes open while caching is a good idea . Took Dino TB and left a Canadian dime. Thanks Andrew!

Left a Hard Rock Cafe key Ring
Took wind coin

found after bit of a hunt around
took Northing tb
left old man winter gc

Found the cache on a wet and windy Vietnam Veteran's Remembrance Day (our Memorial is only about 1300 metres from GZ).
LCC, TN, L car.
Dropped Dr Hibbert tb and Storm Chase TB.
Dr Hibbert has spent some time in WA and seen a lot of the state, but might want to move on now. He eventually wants to return to his home town of Springfield. There are Springfields in SA, Tas, NSW and Qld, as well as in the USA.
It wasn't very stormy, just wet and windy, but maybe someone will move him on to a stormier place from here.

I convinced the boss that we needed a walk in the early evening while visting from Adelaide for business. An 8 km round trip walk from the motel was well worth it as it was a fantastic walk and we were met with some wonderful views.The police had a nearby area cordoned off and we were shadowed by the police helicopter as we disappeared into the bush to retrieve the cache. Not a great idea to dig things up in the bush with the police nearby looking for bodies, but the boss said that he would do the talking!! TFTC

We have been so busy lately that we have not been able to do as many caches as we would like and "Northing" was burning an hole in our pockets so called in on the spur of the moment to drop it off. Thanx for the hunt. TNLN

We had a quick search when we got to the co-ordinates but were unable to find the exact point.

Easy find.. Nice walk..

Arrived: Rubber gecko, gone:Singapore dolphin
TFTH
Kambrook..

Thanks for the hide. Gloomy day but it onley made it funner.

amazing park and hike. great hide. took coin and signed log. TFTC

A beautiful day for a walk in the bush. Great cache.

Took 2 GC's to aid them in their ventures to explore Oz.
Left Singapore dolphin.

Thanks for the cache, it's a beauty.

Found in the pouring rain but that meant no muggles around so a nice leisurely stroll to the GZ. Wow, never seen this type of container that big before - we seem to only have the smaller ones in Canberra. Great! There weren't any trackable so left a few and an untrackable Oak Coins leaf token. TFTC

Dropped in to log this cache whilst releasing a TB nearby. Thanks for the hunt. TNLN. Bandit Bruce.

Finding the cache was not very hard, but finding a way to the GZ.......
Took Homer out of the cache.
Unfortunatly i had nothing more to trade with me.

This was very well hidden by the last finder. We nearly gave up. Have only now just read last note on website after visiting today...sorry didn't look through log book to find Feb 18 visitor. Took golf ball. Left hippo and card. TFTH.

Greetings from South Africa.
Next cacher - a favour please. One of our Fish Eagle geocoins went missing from this cache in February. The log by "Hedgie" on 18th Feb, says that they were second at the cache that day and the coin was gone. The other visitor has not logged the cache or the coin on GC.com - perhaps a newbie? Please check the cache logbook, and let us know who the other visitor on 18th Feb was.
Happy caching....

Edit July 16th : Big thanks Bandit Bruce for the feedback - now we have the information, and can follow up the missing coin.

Were glad that we decided to look for this one whilst completing another cache in the area – as its location came as something of a surprise (only because we hadn’t been watching the gps close enough, nothing wrong with the hidey hole!)!! TN, L green dinosaur and small green frog. Thanks!

didnt find it, mainly because it was already dark and half the hint was missing in my gps. will try again.

Eaglemaniacs have had their first find.
Great spot!
TFTH. GO EAGLES

Found it a 5:58pm with no torch! Jee I miss summer, I forgot how dark it got so quick. Stumbled back though the car by the light of my GPS.

Good spot, well off the track for Kings Park.

Kings Park a must see when in Perth.
A special cache to do first thing in the morning with the grass fresh with dew, loved it!
Thanks Team.
Regards Philma and Geo-cheese & kisses.

More bushwacking... looks like I might need closed in shoes in future.

A glorious day for a few caches in the park.

Found this one easily!
Although it took me a while to get back out. Didn't follow the track I came from... Shouldn't have done that...
TNLN. TFTH!!

Found this one during my lunch break, a nice stroll under threatening skies for me. TFTH!

Two for the price of one

Great little spot...easy to get to...nice quiet walk

Easy find after competing in the annual kings park ANZAC fun run. tnln, tfth.

Found no problem, saw Akerz and Snichy at the cache while approaching and decided to go to the other one close by before returning, Gday, TFTH Team Gunn Parker. TN, left calling card, SL

Surprisingly close to the tower, but we couldn't get spotted.

Quickly found, well bEing an ammo container it's somewhat difficult to hide!!

TNLN TFTC

Found @ 1050 on Easter Sunday. Surprised to find it so close to DNA cache.
Took - Nil
Left - HK$2 coin

this spot must have been offlimits cause no muggles here tnln sl cheers Silent 1

When visiting from Victoria I was motivated to do an early morning walk up to this magnificent park and find a couple of caches. I really enjoyed climbing the tower and seeing Perth start to wake up before finding this cache at 07:15.
TNLNSL.
Nice one - thanks Team Gunn Parker.

P.S. I didn't notice any TBs in the cache when I was there.

took a few seconds to find, but eventually spotted it from the right viewing angle

So close to another cache

Second to visit today. No coin. Left TB

3rd find of 8 today.

Dropped off Team Fish Eagle Geocoin.

Found cache and left soft toy (sheep)

Found during a nice evening summer walk.

good hide but coords right on. TFTC! TNLNSL
acwentz and Chessie except that Chessie is back at home in CO, USA

A hot walk in the bush rewarded us with a bonus today. Whilst on the way to this one, we stumbled onto another cache, which apparently saved us 2 hours of walking .
Accurate co-ords had us find this one in no time. Very pleased to find a decent-sized container. TNLN. Cheers

Just dropped in to drop off the Easting TB. Please keep this TB in easy caches within 30km of the Perth GPO as it is needed for another cache.

This one was a lot harder to find 2nd time around, my GPSR was jumping around all over the place...

A nice easy find after climbing the DNA Tower and enjoying the view. Our first find on a holiday to Perth. Nice and close to our old house in Subiaco. The cache was found by a friend's 8 year old daughter. Thanks for bring me back to Kings Park.

Last one for the afternoon the geokiddies were starting to wilt. Great location and very well hidden by last cacher, enough timber on top of the box to start an industry. Out: Rhino In: Pair of dice TFTH.

My second WA cache. Nice park indeed.

Nice stroll from TB Passport Centre, GCJV3X which is not all tha far away.
TNLN

Great spot and a great container for the cache. Some fantastic log entries from overseas visitors.

Thought I may as well bag another cache while in the area.

Retrieved Slimy Frog and will help him/her travel around a bit of Auz.

Called by this afternoon on a bug raid, but was beaten to it by a team this morning. Looks like they took Little Griz's Compass Coin and will know doubt log it out in the near future. While here dropped off Slimey's Slimy Frog to enjoy Kings Park. Cache is looking good.

Found with muggle David at 7:00am on a beautiful sunny morning before work. Enjoyed the views on the way. TFTC.

Stopped in here for a nice afternoon walk on my way home from work.

TNLN T4TH

Dropped off Grand High Pobah, Steppin Up and Tumbleweek Geocoins, took USA Geocoin.

I messed up and recorded three travel bugs to this cash, actually went to Kings Park Travel Bug Hotel, but I don't have the tracking numbers anymore.

DNF. Searched high and low for about 30 minutes sifting through what seemed like tons of pine needles to no avail. Other caches to find. Next time.

TNLN

Nice easy Find, T4TC, moved on Geocoin otherwise NTNL

Out for the day with Dad dropping a heap of trackables. Apparently I took less than half the time to find it than he did, I won't repeat what he said.

Geocoin Blig's "World of Geocaching"

I followed the lead of those before and got a stick and started poking until I found metal. Worked a treat

TFTH TNLNSL

Too easy

T4TH TNLN

This one gave me a hard time, GPS was settled and reading 1m but for the life of me I couldn't locate it so I went around poking a stick into the ground. I eventually made my way back to GZ and hit metal and found the cach 2m from the GPS. Ain't that the way, it's always in the last place you look
TFTH

Found the cache with no problems. All in good condition.

TNLN.

Found with Teamdundat
T4TH

Third cache found today. This one threw me for a bit, my triangulations were still pointing me about 5 meters away from the actual cache location. Didn't have any hints with me, so finally found a stick and started prodding in places I really didn't want to put my hands first. Finally heard a clunk, and then discovered an obvious clue already present. Duh!

TNLN, TFTC!

Julia's coin has a new specific mission: To get to
Hill Nod [GC9436] in Perth so family can see her. Thanks

Another brisk walk on the other side, very humid.
Dropped off julias coin,we did some more miles for julia.[^]

Our first cache in Kings Park, the second one today and the third one in Oz so far. Quite a search in the mid-city bush. No trade. TFTC

great find a bit too far from the main walkway though
took:foldable hairbrush and film just ran out lol
left:foldable spoon and coffie spoon

Nice walk, didn't take anything but wrote in the log book. Great hide! Mannings@henley

Easy find great part of Perth
TNLN SL TFTH

Found this one, the third for the day. We did notice that is was fairly close to another cache, but wont tell you which one. We took a movie trivia book and left a Rhino pen.

Visited this one after "Australian TB Passport Centre" as it was only a short walk away. Well done (and thanks) Team Gunn Parker on keeping the location of the cache moving as I'm sure that damage to the veg could occur.TNLN.

Stoped by today and changed the container to an ammo tin and replaced the log book, this is the third log book for this cache.

Co-ords changed a little to change traffic flow.

This cache took a little longer to find than I had expected because my GPS was acting quite erratic. Found at last - 2nd for the day. The cache log was a little damp & quite full, so just had to find a blank page to write on.
TNLN TFTC.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found this cache after a lengthy poke around the pine needles. Lovely sunny winter's day again - excellent for wandering the park. Cache quite damp, logbook full so spare space out of order had to be used.
