The Mentalist! Reinscourt, Western Australia, Australia
By richlink on 10-Mar-15. Waypoint GC5P2Y9

We headed to the South during the school holiday. I tried to collect some smileys when I headed back to Perth. There is no checker for this mystery cache, so I am unsure whether my mind is read. Thanks richlink for hiding the cache.

We headed out for a bike rode this afternoon looking to get a couple of caches. We arrived at GZ and walked around for a bit before this one was spottedThanks for the mind puzzle

Not a bad location to visit while in the area.TFTC

Got good looking coordinates this morning and after wandering around the markets in town stopped past here before heading home.
Took about five minutes to spot the container but having a few out in the wild myself once it caught my gaze I knew I had it found.

Thanks richlink for placing The Mentalist! for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 12:07 on 19/3/2023.
This is find number 6932 for me.

Down in Busso for the long weekend, trying to grab a few smileys while Themongrel Very happy to claim a smiley a here.

This is my 10721find.
Thankyou richlink for placing and maintaining this cache

All good here. Thanks for the cache

This puzzle I had solved a few days ago. I was back in Busselton to find in now. But first I stopped by another puzzle cache I’d solved at the same time.
When I arrived here there was one other car in the car park, but no one in it.
I moved to GZ and realised this could take a while. I circled around in one direction. Then a couple of dog walkers passed. I pretended to be looking for a place to sit with a view. After they passed I circled back and tried the other direction. I had a moment of thinking I’d found it, but not so. I moved a bit further around and spotted another possibility. This time I was correct.
After climbing out of the place I noticed a rainbow and so stayed to take the spectacle in. The rain itself held off, bonus.

Staying in Busselton for 2 nights we were able to pick up presolved puzzles while exploring the area.
We certainly must think alike as my numbers matched yours lol
The fitter Triton made the find here while I watched on admiring the marine.
Thanks richlink for the mystery placement.

Out in the South West for the weekend, taking a quick break from commitments after a busy week. Thanks to all that placed caches.

Quite a tricky hide at the final cache, so I’m glad to knock this one off. Cheers richlink!

A day of two halves. Firstly 15 finds, 2 DNFs and a 32Km ride then after lunch caching by car with 13 finds and 2 DNFs plus one I didn't do as I'm pretty sure it was a snake in the undergrowth as I approached!!

Can claim no glory for solving this, just finding it. Mr O is the mentalist in our house!

Great puzzle to solve for co-ordinates! A beautiful spot to stop before driving back to Margaret River. Solved and found with WendyGaye

Thanks richlink for the nice cache here and my number #5054.

We travelled from Portland Victoria across to WA to see our daughter in Perth. Now we are slowly heading home via Yallingup, the Fitzgerald NP and Denmark.

We are in the Caravan Park at Yallingup and finally the wind and the rain have given us a break. We packed up the bikes and headed into Busselton via Cape Naturaliste.

What a pretty area, cache took some hunting - we were a few metres along but eventually Mr Morris spotted it.
Thanks for showing us this part of the world richlink

Found after a short search!

This weekend saw the jinta crew planning our first over night camping trip for some time and we headed southwards to explore this area! We headed away from Baldivis and meandered our way towards Busselton collecting smilies along the way. This cache was one we targeted for our weekend adventure. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there richlink, I was in this area today and found your cache The Mentalist! GC5P2Y9. I added my name to the log book at 10:53 am on 5 December 2020. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

Neat puzzle and excellent hide location. Tftc and puzzle. Enjoyed both.

Finally our girls weekend has arrived Kapelula, Meme28, Geotrekka and I C Nothing are heading south with four full days of caching to celebrate some birthdays and geo milestones. We have been puzzling like crazy in preparation so our aim is to find those caches and everything else that takes our fancy. Maybe even a challenge or two. Signed log as Kameingt.
Enjoyed solving the puzzle prior to heading down here. Nice to pick up the find.

Away on a girls weekend to Bussleton with ICnothing, Kapelula and meme28. Hoping to hit some milestones during our adventures. Signing as a team this weekend KAMEINGT. Thank you to all the COs for placing their caches along the way for is to enjoy.
Thanks for the puzzle

Heading south with Kapelula ICNothing and geotrakka (KAMEINGT) on our girls weekend.
Another smiley just before the rain hit...

Clever puzzle. Found the pint of difference to sign the log. TFTH!

Found whilst out on an extended weekend road trip to Busselton, Dunsborough and surrounds with I C Nothing, Meme28 and geotrakka. Signed log as KAMEINGT.

Many thanks to pood for checking this cache out.

All good to go!!

Cache will be replaced shortly.

Chwiliwr and I had a good look around GZ but think that the cache may not be there any more. It has been some time since anybody found it.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

I am currently visiting WA from Adelaide for a few weeks, travelling mostly around the southwest, exploring, visiting friends and family and finding a few caches along the way. Today was a leisurely day finding a few more caches around Busselton before heading up to Bunbury.

Another in a long list of puzzles solved before leaving home in preparation for the trip. When I saw GZ I groaned. But it turned out to be a nice, straightforward find.

Thanks richlink for the puzzle and the cache.

Thanks to spot on co-ords this was a quick find. Log dry and well protected. TFTC and the puzzle.

Out with the Machman on our way down to WA Goes Big in Dunsborough.
Solved this some years ago. Quick find one at GZ. TFTC

On route to WAGB with Spatial Riq, grabbing a few Caches on route !! Thanks to Riq for solving the puzzle, quick find on arrival . TFTC

Day 2 of our stay in this part of the world, and a bit of caching with megawat60 before the WAGB festivities start. Happy to make the find here. Enjoyed solving this one, so a fave and a thanks.

First real day of the WAGB weekend and out with m4yb again.
She solved and found.
Thanks for the hide and smiley

Thank goodness PP1 managed to solve this one & we could turn our frown upside down. I am too embarrassed to say how far away we were looking last time TFTC richlink

With B12 and Mr OOHYEH,
TFTH

Out this morning for a quick Busselton and Dunsborough run with Mr OOH YEH and Cravo10.

Managed to snag a couple of FTFs one on a cricket series cache the other on a challenge cache. All good fun ended up with 20 plus finds for a nice days caching.

Thanks to the local COs for a days fun.

Finally got back to this one and made a quick find tftc!

Neat puzzle and nice hide.
Day 2 of our Busselton caching trip. Picking up solved puzzles and trads along the way.
TFTC richlink this is find # 4740 for us.

Second attempt wrong co-ordinates first time thanks for letting us know we had wrong co-ordinates

Pretty long walk for no luck

Found. Great spot for a cache.

I solved this clever puzzle quite a while ago.
I was in the area today, and with some free time up my sleeve, I decided that I would have an attempt at finding this cache. This cache took a few minutes to find before I eventually spotted it.
richlink, I found your cache ‘The Mentalist!’ today. It was the second find of three today and my total count now lies at 1002. The cache was found in a good condition, so I added my signature to the log book and I replaced it as I found it. Thank you for the cache, the hide and for bringing me to this location.

What an awesome spot
New Had a good look around GZ but no luck
With permission from CO, I dropped a new container to keep this worthy location alive
TFTC

Don't read too much into our DNF. We may or may not have been in the right place as I made heavy weather of this simple puzzle

Looked around for a bit but Couldn't find it

Search search - no luck for me so DNF

After lunch in Busso, headed west to find a few caches. Had previously solved the puzzle but had trouble find the cache. Too many placed to look for my poor old hip. Walk to a nearby cache to stretch it out and had a short look on the way back to the car with no luck. maybe another day.

Thanks richlink for the cache.

A quick find today, with a team effort. TFTC

A team effort cracking the puzzle, an easy find TFTC

Well, that puzzle worked with my secret number which i am not telling anyone. And I was so pleased that I was on the right side to be able to find this one. So many places it could be at GZ and it was just a matter of exploring all of the options until I came up with the right one. TFTC richlink

With the correct numbers and a hint from CO (thanks) I had another go. I must have simply been blind last time. TFTC

Worked out the numbers that gave me a likely GZ. Searched yesterday and no luck. Tried again today and still no cache. Looks like I have a new nemesis.

On an Arrow hunting expedition, but came into town for some lunch and sock purchase, long story, and also to collect some smiley faces for some long ago solved puzzles. This one had rather a familiar ring to it!

Enjoyed coming back here to a very familiar stomping ground but groaned when I saw what might be a long search. But amazingly the first spot turned out to hold the goodies.

It was lovely here today, with a bit of sunshine poking through after all the rain.

Thanks for the puzzle and the cache richlink.

Think of a number, double it etc etc Take away the number you first thought of and there it is. All good and good for confirmation that I can still do rithmetic. Tftc.

Oh my goodness big search for this cache, literally about to give up and woohoo found it!! Lots of muggles in the area tftc

back down to Busselton with the geodaughter Redlipsandunicorns. This is our 3rd trip in 4 weeks but the geohubby has been busy solving lots of puzzles so we decided to come and find them all.
This one took a while to find as there were muggles everywhere. Nearly ready to give up then one last look and the cache was found TFTC richlink and a Favourite point from us

Finding this cache was a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack as I thought I was looking for a micro cache instead of a small (doh!!), but got it in the end. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache richlink

Had Ralph Fine Dog along for the weekend and he put his considerable mind reading skills to use in solving the puzzle. The lack of Schmackos in the cache rendered him no use at all in locating the cache so the find didn't go nearly as well

Awesome puzzle. A favourite for that alone. Took a while to locate the cache. I have the same container that I haven't hidden yet. Thanks for the cache.

Day two of the WA Goes Big weekend in Busselton
And, what a fantastic day it was, catching up with old friends and meeting new ones too. The weather was perfect and there was plenty of new caches to be found. Thanks richlink a cute little puzzle.

Great way to start the day with day with a *FTF* with polly the collie. Thanks richlink for the challenge and taking us to this beautiful spot.

Thanks for the *FTF* richlink great way to start the day. A bit of careful reading and
We soon had the coordinates worked out.
