We think we found this one...or should i say a very friendly pair of muggles came along and asked us were we searching for something. They then produced an object that was clearly a duck cache. Said they found it floating in the river and were just bout to chuck it. We gratefully rescued it, signed it as a find and put it back near where the coords positioned us. Actually not sure if it was the cache for this hide so will need some feedback from Mr Duck himself. TFTC anyway!
Found quite easily along with a massive jellyfish.. Couldn't sign the log as we didn't have anything to write with, but a passerby ended up giving us a pen
No luck tonight. But like other of Duck's caches, it takes us at least a couple of go's to get it
Continuing my duck hunt around the bridges, I arrived here to find GZ heavily populated by fishing muggles. Had a bit of a look around, but couldn't really nspect the place my GPSr was pointing to.
Thanks for the hide duck 43. I will be back.
Might catch up at the WA Goes Big Event at Busso in May

Was losing sunlight here and had to resort to help from a previous finder to get it. Thanks for another amazing hide Duck43.
There were two men in a boat nearby but they suspected nothing (hopefully).
Got my shoes wet unnecessary because I hung them over the ledge.
Cache was damp.

Headed out with Helbren for a day on the bikes to hunt some ducks. We started near the Raffles and headed towards Freo and I had 15 finds with 4 DNFs. We each had a few extras that the other hadn't yet found. I had originally found the cache here a few months ago, so intrigued to see the cache icpn here again. I was on the right track before a little nudge in the right direction from Helbren and the cache was in hand. TFTC duck43
Failed. Obtained a nice steady GZ. No muggles. No clue. just totally stumped on this one.

Managed to spot quite quickly luckily, considering I usually don't find these at all!!

Had a good time searching for this one with Elrin on a very nice Sunday afternoon. We read all the previous logs about not having to get wet (and they're true, you don't /have/ to get wet) but we decided to hitch up our skirts (me) and jeans (Elrin) and get on in anyway! It did make the cache a little easier to find and it was also cool and pleasant to splash around in the water.
Amazing camo, as we have come to expect from duck.

Nothing is impossible on a nice Sunday afternoon with good company and a belly full of sliders and cider. The occupants of the rowing club, kids playing footy and father/son canoe team nearby were all too busy having their own fun to pay any attention to a couple of girls paddling in the river. Whilst I enjoyed splashing around and hunting, it was nowhere near as fun as finding the cache before Loron did!

Spending a day looking for ducks for photojesus' birthday. Nice quick, lucky find for once! Cheers duck
Found it quite quickly but similar to some other Ducks that we've visited. TFTC
Took a little while but at least we found it.

We had the pleasure of escorting two delightful geocachers visiting WA from Austria on a duck hunt today and revisiting some caches that we had found on previous occasions. Their earlier duck hunt endevours were unrewarding but today they managed to grab a bag of smileys and we managed a couple of new duck scalps as well. As always Sir duck, your caches are a delight and one always leaves a duck 43 find with a sense of acheivment and smug satisfaction. It goes without saying that another fav is heading your way.
Thanks for the cache duck 43

Getting to the shore for another Duck hunt. We started looking for the container and it took not too long when I discovered the secret hideout. It was not that difficult (as long as you know where to start looking for it).

Out geocaching around the Canning river looking for Duck43 caches this morning with shlj, howardwgreen, findhope and fljolly. This cache was not on our original list for the morning but as we ended up parking so close to it we decided to go and have a look. This was fljolly's moment in the spotlight as she was the one to find this cleverly hidden cache. Well done flj on a great find and thanks duck43 for another excellent hide
TFTC Duck 43. I'd love to know what material was used to coat the end of the cache.
Geo Mum didn't even want to attempt this one having bombed out at a few closer caches, but she found it! TFTC.
Out geocaching around the Canning river looking for Duck43 caches this morning with ask277, howardwgreen, findhope and fljolly. I honestly have no idea how you come up with these ideas, I think this was my favourite for the day, musn't be impossible, but very close.
This was a really well camouflaged cache, and really enjoyed finding it. Was smiling from ear to ear when I found this. TFTC
Great hide mrs helbren spotted the likely spot while retrieving we were supprised with a bit spider too, we are enjoying doing your caches at night tonight tftc
Nasty! Mean! Difficult! Bad duck - go to your room and don't come out until you've thought through the error of your ways. (Plus come up with some more ideas for fun caches - well done)
Well this nearly was impossible, not sure how so many people found this cache so quickly, talk about muggle central.
We thought were going to have to give it a miss after leaving empty handed due to muggle activity and returning later to find a different group of muggles parked at GZ.

Having a peaceful stroll on this lovely evening. Perfect duck43 caching conditions. No muggles, the cover of darkness to assist, and great weather. Only took me a couple of minutes once I managed to get the kids out of the way.

We decided on a riverside walk with the geo-schnauzers to walk off our Christmas brekky of French toast with mixed berries - before the next round of Christmas lunch! Fortunate to get a very low tide which made access to gz easy. Geo-hubby spotted the hide in a spot I had checked but obviously overlooked the container. Looks like we just missed catching up with JacobsCrew who had signed the log earlier in the morning. Thanks duck 43
Christmas morning and I had a few minutes before breakfast to find a few caches in the area, I had a quick look around the area and it was JoshJayPlay who found the cache...TFTC
Still remember we had our 100th found at Fine Line four months ago. So we decided to have Impossible as our 200th at this memorable place. This time, we had a bit trouble as looking at wrong place with our GPS. But once we got the right GZ it didn't take me too long to have this cache on hand. Probably I was brave enough to touch every single possible hiding spot. As usual, Duck's cache always amuses us. Award another fav point. TFTC
The same muggles that Richlink and JacobsCrew saw were still there when I arrived at GZ. Had a look around, but couldn't get right down to it.
Thanks for the hide duck 43. I will be back.

was out with Skippy 46 picking up a few caches before the World wide multi event. this was our first stop and with no muggles about i was shocked i found the cache in about a minute. another very clever hide and a favourite point from me TFTC duck 43
The previous fine line cache was one of my favourite cache but unfortunately was being muggled. Agree with the comment that it is quite impossible to be muggled! I checked the spot few times even with a close look but still can't find it. After few minutes, BissraVicky got the cache (our 200th) on her hand - from that spot. TFTC duck 43.
I was out with ooh yeh to pick up a few caches before today's event.
We arrived to find plenty of parking and not a soul in sight so I fed the meter 60c, just in case but it proved to be a waste of money as OOH yeh found the cache in under a minute.
It's a very authentic camo job though so will give you a favourite point.

I saw this and had to come to see if it wasn´t impossible. I got the cache in my hands in less than five minutes Should be muggle-proof but they are capable of amazing stupidity...
Thanks for the cool cache and one new DT combination for traditional in my grid!

At first, I searched all of the places I thought it should be but came up with nothing. When I changed my approach by looking at everything all over, I found something interesting which turned out to be the cache. These duck caches continue to keep me guessing. Cheers
I went for a walk along the river waiting for a muggle to depart GZ, and then I finally found the very well hidden cache after quite a systematic search in a spot which I had studied several times before' Thank you duck 43 for yet another clever challenging cache.
With cravo describing that barnzy picked the right side and barnzy describing that right side, I stopped at an incredibly low tide (I could squat on the river side and my butt didn't even get wet) at 4:30pm to log an almost instant find once on the "right" side. In an ongoing insight into the daily cycle of K.B., I headed south along the freeway path after work into a howling south westerly this afternoon. For me and the rest of the commuters with an early leave pass, it was survival mode to GZ. I actually couldn't have ask for more perfect conditions since that meant a huge tailwind for the entire journey home; living the TDF dream. Thanks for the cache duck 43.
Wasn't sure what to expect here, but then again, do we ever know what to expect when it comes to duck43 creations?? I spotted this one quickly enough, but took quite a bit of time to retrieve it from where it was hiding. Really feel like I earned my smiley here. Thanks for yet another sneaky hide duck43
Having a Duck Day Out with the kids today, I had fired up my phone & noticed this cache which was not on our GPSr... Not sure why, but straight away we just had to go and find out why it was "Impossible" We had not been there long, as the kids had not even hit the water yet but I spotted something that looked suspicious & as Jase was right at it told him to investigate? Initially he thought no, but with a closer inspection the log was soon to hand [^]
Thanks for another awesome cache duck 43 This reminded us of another cache of yours that we struggled to find, but thankfully you did not trick us this time

Minty found this one. We all searched. Minty just had a different angles and better eyes tftc
I didn't have success here this morning and when some ladies stopped to check I was ok and hadn't fallen off my bike I moved on.
(catch up log)
Joint *FTF*with Team AusDan. hwiliwr and I decided to go out and see if this cache was actually Impossible but it seems not. Just a bit harder that others but still findable with persistence.
We parked a bit away in another street in case it took some time to find and then walked down to GZ. Saw BlaKids already looking and then Team AusDan turned up to help. We all got excited at one point but it was the previous cache that we found unhooked from the thin line. We have taken that one home so it doesn't confuse anybody else. After BlaKids left Team AusDan and us systematically searched around our GZ which may have been out a bit but the new ones I now see on the listing would be a bit closer to the real GZ. I saw something not quite right and then felt that it definitely wasn't quite right but it was nearly 'impossible' to get to the log but we did in the end. Was surprisingly easy to put everything back together again considering the trouble it was to find in the first place.
Thanks duck 43 for another excellent cache but not quite 'impossible' yet.

Time beat me. Ducked out from work, now have to head back. After 20 mins by myself chili & aus dan turned up and had to pass over to them. Aus dan found the previous cache, fine line, but not the new one when I left.

Did a 800km round journey with barnzy12 today and this cache was published not even halfway though what turned out to be a 14 hour day.
Barnzy12 made a quick find here it's something about him and picking the right side to start searching in the night time.
Never the less this cache is another well made and designed cache and could possibly be impossible to some.
This time I got lucky and yet another favourite point awarded.

TFTC! This cache was published whilst Cravo10 and myself were on the geo trail between Perth and Katanning trying to pickup some FTFs and cleanup some caches that we hadn't picked up on previous visits to Katanning.
Came here at the end of a 14hr caching journey and had theorised for a few hours as to what this hide may be. Came here checked our GZ and then inspected the area quickly decided to take the things off and got in the water, which wasnt necessary. I made the find quite quickly in one of the first places I looked.
A very great hide and well worth the fav point.
Hope to see more soon please duck.

Joint *FTF* 3:14pm with Chwiliwr and Better Half. No lunch break for me tomorrow! I arrived at the site to find BlaKids, Better Half and Chwiliwr working their way through GZ to see whether their truly was an impossible mission at hand.Soon after my arrival we had found the old cache "Fine Line". We had pretty much dismissed that as the cache as soon as we pulled it out of the water. BlaKids left soon after this, leaving Chwiliwr, Better Half and I searching for the elusive cache. After working together eliminating possibilities, Chwiliwr found something that he was sure was the cache. After a bit of work he had the cache in hand. Relief! It may not be Impossible, however it is certainly worthy of its 4.5 difficulty. Thanks for the great hide Duck. Thank you also to Chwiliwr and Better Half for being gracious enough to share the FTF. Great to see you again.
Nothing is impossible for you guys, but as I said in the description, I hope it will be for muggles.
I expect mortals will have difficulty as well.
