Another DNF for the day. Empty beers and vapes around the pole certainly lean towards this being gone
Found 4 poles with locks, judging by the POV from another photo I had the right pole, no cache, might be gone 
A quick find here today, cache is all goodIn Perth for work today so decided to head out from the city on foot to Highgate/North Perth area for an afternoon of caching for a few hours before an event in Northbridge. A nice afternoon and nearly 10km walked.Thanks for the cache
Rise and shine after a night in northbridge and knock a cache off on the way home. All in good order here, tftc
Out and about with @jamesknowlson in the city for 7 hours today finding geocaches. A fun day with no backtracking due to James perfectly prepared map and schedule of how to get to all the waypoints and stops from all the different caches around the city. We covered 15km on foot and managed to find multiple caches and get the coordinates for some multis that we will come back to at a later date. Thank you for placing and maintaining this cache! Another smiley on the map 
Since we moved to Perth and got back into the game, I have been wanting to tackle Northbridge for a while. The plan was to catch the bus into the city in the morning, and stay all day grabbing caches. The only issue what order do we do everything in? I noticed a few multi caches with several waypoints. So spent last night (until about 1am) plotting every multi way point, traditional and virtual cache onto google maps, and working out the best method of attack from the bus stop. Im sure there is an easier way to do this but oh well. Its done now.So I set our route. Printed it all out, and it was ready to go! Woke up this morning, packed a lunch, and headed for the city at 10am. We started off slow, as 4 traditional caches were first up, but after that, we were smashing waypoint after waypoint of several different multi caches along St Georges Terrace (STG) whilst taking the occasional detour for the odd virtual/traditional slightly off the path. I must say, planning it out paid off! Otherwise, we would have been walking the length of SGT more than once! (Not ideal).By the time we made it to the end of STG, we had green lights on 4 Multi Caches (Plaques War Heroes, Plaques Government, Plaques Settlers, and Bumming Around).We then made our way down to Elizabeth Quay to collect a few more caches/waypoints, before returning to the bus to head home approximately 5pm.A great day out caching! Racked up 15km on foot!..This cache was the third up of an initial 4 traditionals close to the bus stop. A nice location here and a neat piece of work with the concrete balls. Appreciated the direct hint as the GPS through northbridge today was very hit and miss. Thanks for the hide!
Really nice hiding spot, out of sight from everyone unless you're being a weirdo haha.
I had to sign in stick lol but theres a mark. A n awesome Sunday stroll in a new city. Visiting from Tassie
Trobat! Encontrado!After my work, I had time for do some caching going to my home. This was one of them.Once in the cords, you should find the "pole" where the hint says. Looking for some minutes after reach the hidden spot. Then, just put the hand in and grab It. Grcies per amagar. Gracias por esconder.
I was confused by the coordinates as they didnt seem to be leading to a post with a lock but its definitely there ha. Thanks for the cache! I enjoyed seeing the pigeons chilling by the concrete balls.
A quick find, but now I have questions about what the object its attached to is for!
In the area to try the Korean desserts here. Highly recommend if you enjoy a cooling ice dessert. Nice quick find here, TFTC
Found the pole with lock. But no cache, saw a picture of the cache in another log, so got excited when I found a similar looking item. It was a vape . So didn’t really want to search much more…

Headed into the city with the bikes on the GeoCruiser to tackle some caches around Northbridge, then we made another stop at Herdsman lake to grab the 2 AdLabs and a few caches along the way.

Back in Perth for a while after cruising around Australia for a year.
Quick find here. Don’t know what was going on next door. Someone was making weird noises.
.K.B., I found Concrete Balls today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

That host blends into the surroundings pretty well. I didn't notice it at first, resulting in a search of the wrong one. TFTC!

Another Day in Perth and we are able to found some caches. This was one of them. Thank you for the cache.
Lovely spot, especially at night with the blue lights on the concrete statue. Took the marble and left another treasure
Pretty easy find once we knew which tree to look at. Magnetised on a pole slightly hidden behind bushes.
I am here from the UK visiting family in Joondalup. Unfortunately they are not interested in caching so my caching has to be done on my own.
Caching here is so different from caching in England. There it is wet and cold but the caches mostly have good hints and are easy finds so it is easy to get high numbers in a day.
I am a keen cacher and have cached in 41 countries, mostly in Europe but also in North America, South Africa and Australia. Many trips were purely caching trips
I am trying to get my 100 finds for the souvenir this month but also want to find as many caches as I can whilst I am here.
Some involve long walks or long searches as many here do not have hints. Most are fairly easy to find but a few take long searches. I must confess I am used to caching with friends and when in a group there are more eyes to spot the cache.
I have enjoyed finding many good sized caches here so that is a bonus.
I am looking forward to spending the next few weeks finding a lot of caches took a while but I eventually spotted the cache
Many thanks .K.B. for placing this cache

Great cache, thank you. Visiting Perth from Germany with this one around the corner from my hotel. Was searching for a while and then suddenly I realised where it was.
Achilles went into the city for Trojan cuisine with Briseis.
They stopped for this treasure but because it was dark was surprisingly hard.
Finally, Achilles found the correct pole, and was immediately set upon by a cockroach.

Having spent a few days infirm, the hospital kindly let me out today so we to the opportune of the relatively quiet streets to have a wander around these parts and checkout these 'ornaments'. Once in the right spot we located what we were looking for and were able to scratch our attendance on the list. Cheers for the seasonal find .K.B.
