Together with Me&B on a great road trip visiting the beautiful places in WA - unfortunately today is my last day seeing all the nice places and caches.
Full logbook.
TFTC and greetings from Germany !

Out for a day caching with Mistraluna, headed to Armadale and some other areas close by. It was a beautiful day for caching. Tftc, sl, tnln.
Tftc, found this one after a short search with a bit of help from Us Baxters photo. However the magnet has fallen out so its sitting on the ...
I have made it a bit of a mission of late to chase down some statistics and decided to complete my Hidden Date Challenge.
This cache is one of the ones that I needed to grab to fill in a date.
This is the final piece in the puzzle. The last one that will now complete my Hidden Date Challenge grid. Took a few minutes to locate, but glad to have my name in the logbook.
TFTC acrestani1.

Originally logged under family caching name, clan-wallace, now relogging under my own name.
Out a caching with Cybergran V & her, so called, Muggle Hubby on their last day in WA before flying back home to Victoria. The last day of a lovely, packed trip with good caching buddies. Anyway they have a son called Dale so this was a MUST do cache. It also helped us to walk off the yummy pies we had for lunch at Jesters. TFTC
Taking a break in the middle of doing the Robin Hood series, with good friends Clan Wallace, they introduced us to Jesters Pies, we had some for lunch and can highly recommend them to anyone in the vicinity of this cache.
Having a son called Dale, it was most necessary to find this one, and only fitting that his dad, Muggle Hubby, located this tricky little devil.

Second time that i have searched for this cache. Parents took me out for dinner and i had some time before i watched a movie with geosister. Checked a few spots but glad i had success this time round! Thanks for the hide!
What to do when dinner's finished but the movie's not due to start for another 45mins?? Why...go geocaching of course!! Thanks for this sneaky cache!
Would you believe this is my 4th visit to GZ in a very popular spot. Today the area was empty - Almost.
One very loud muggle 'dancing' on the road had most peoples attention, and while I stood watch M4YB made a stealthy find. TFTC acrestani1 it feels great to finally turn this into a smiley.

In Armadale with morning, met up with WebblyWA then we went for a walk to see if we could grab this one as last time the local muggles hindered the search. There was one angry local & vocal muggle nearby and WebblyWA kept an eye on him while I made a stealthy find, SL and replaced as found. TFTC acrestani1!
Third cache in Aus didn't have pen so took photo of log. Magnet still missing so hint a bit misleading unless you read previous log. Tftc
Had an errand to run in Armadale, and once that was done., i looked for nearby caches.
Turns out, i was 80m from GZ.
Was a quick find, but the magnet is missing. Left the cache hidden in a corner.

Tried for this a while ago but man had parked himself right at gz and was not moving. Clear today and found the cache without drama. tftc1
After a drink at dome and completing the procrastination series I was temped to have a go at this tricky little hide that has avoided me the last 3 attempts. Finally success and a gee why moment as I made a quick find today. Magnetic section missing but replaced just as found after signing the log. Tftc
After spending the past 5 hours or so out in the wilds of Jarrahdale surrounds it was time to get some late lunch to replenish the starving stomachs, so what better than a double icecream and milkshake from that great icecream shop in Armadale. Then it was off to find the nearby nano, which was quickly spotted, and then eventually retrieved from the leaf litter after it was dropped. However opening it was a different story. It was back to the car and double pliers were used to extract the lid from the base. Eventually the log was extracted, the nano replaced and we were on our way again with contented stomachs.
Thanks for the cache acrestani1.

Can't say how pleased we are to finally tick this off our list. After 4 previous attempts and getting accosted by the local muggles haha we finally managed to get at it today
Thanks for the hide

This end of the mall was reasonable quiet today so took advantage. Took a little while to extract the cache but all good in the end, signed the log and replaced.
Thanks acrestani1 for the cache.

Nano is no longer magnetised and is now sitting inside the object. If it rains I am sure it will be washed out so best to replace ASAP.
I met up with Me&B to hand over a TB and enjoy a coffee (iced chocolate with cream) at Dome.
We had both not done this cache so after we finished, headed down the mall. My iPhone told me 1 object and Me&B's GPS took her to another. We searched both with no luck so extended our search with no luck. About 3 times we searched both objects and had pretty much narrowed it down to one, still nothing. Out of frustration I PAF who had found it and yes indeed, we were searching the correct object. Still not finding it I decided to search the leaf matter and luckily found it straight away.
We signed the log and when I went to replace it, it wouldn't stick, so on further investigation found it was no longer a magnet, so we replaced the cache inside the object where hopefully it will stay put until the CO can replace the cache.

Out with Mistraluna for a morning of caching.
Found the cache without problems and then helped a young couple that were parked in front of us start their car.

Out caching this morning with Chwiliwr whilst The Better Half relished here role as Grandma back at home. This one wasn't in the first place we looked, but it still didn't take long to find either. Chwiliwr got to play Sir Galahad to a damsel in distress when we returned to the car - flat battery - but she was quickly on her way again thanks to him. Thanks for the cache acrestani1
Well the GPS had us quite a distance away but we searched the obvious spots and this time (yes folks, we've tried this one before) we were rewarded. Tftc
Met up with iluvtrekking, JacobsCrew2 and Barnzy12 to grab a few caches before attending the Cito event in Kelmscott. Thanks acrestani1
Met up with Richlinks, iluvtrekking and Branzy12 for a great day of caching. the weather is prefect with mild conditions.....found most caches quickly with the odd tricky one...TFTC
Set off early this morning with richlink link up with JacobsCrew2 and Barnzy12 and do our bit at the Kelmscot CITO Event. This was one of the many caches we found whilst in the area. Thanks for the cache acrestani1.
Big ride from home this morning. Met friends in the city at 5:30am and when they headed up Albany Highway, I peeled off and headed here. Very quiet so early in the morning. Thanks for the hide.
After visiting the old man I detoured past here to have a look for this recently published cache. The hot weather seemed to have kept a lot of the muggles away and I found the cache without too many problems.

A easy find after seeing this new one on the GPS map today. Lots of people using the mall, but I doubt I was seen. Had to watch for commuters from both directions. SL and replaced where found. Thanks to acrestani1 for the cache.
Searched and found the best hiding spots but no cache an extra hint would be nice [email protected] thanks
Out with the geohubby picking up a few caches today.
Even though it was sunday there was still quite a few muggles about. We were searching the wrong object to start with but once we searched the correct one the cache was quickly found TFTC acrestani1

TFTC! Had this cache published whilst I was at Christmas breakfast, so was unable to go for it, saw that the FTF had gone so I waited until the evening when it was a lot cooler to come by and claim this smiley.
Nice lot of history behind the hide. Thanks

2nd to find. Beaten By Brendan (Helbren).
I used to work in this building for about 10 years as a postie before the delivery side was moved out to the new building in Kelmscott. In those days there were about 10 Postman now we have about 60 for the area. It was a great place to work and most of the guys were in it for the lifestyle. We often got home by lunchtime(pub meals). I loved being able to be at our sons school events and to be there to pick him up after school most days. Sadly the job has changed and many of the people I worked with have passed away. When I started I was the young guy on the "Boys Run" now I am now the old postie looking more towards the retiring end of the scale.
Interestingly while we were there anyone could come and park in the car park. No restrictions. Now there are signs all over the place warning of fines. MRPA....big brother with a stick. wouldn't it be nicer to just set a time limit for parking.
Thanks for the cache and the trip down memory lane.
