Headed over to pick up some caches in the area today - and this was one that I stopped off at. Managed to park up very close to GZ then had a look in a few of the more obvious places. Nothing seen so checked previous logs and started looking low down elsewhere. I soon found the container but it's been damaged and the current location risks it looking like litter. I can also now see this is actually a throw down too so likely not even as the CO originally intended. Flagging as NM but it's also a smiley so TFTC

TFTH. Like others I made assumptions, but got there in the end. The log could do with replacement.

I can't remember the last time I was able to park so close to a cache. This was nothing like I expected but was very easy. Just as well as it's 35c today so I didn't feel like doing much.
Just after I logged the cache a council whether rocked up and parked right at the location. Timing is everything in this game.

I quickly located the cache, pretending to be talking on my phone. I couldn't retrieve it as a muggle was sitting in his car right in front of it and wouldn't move. I waited for about 20 minutes but he wouldn't leave. I will swing back latter today to carry out signing duties. TFTC!
 
07-Dec-18
We found it quickly but too many people around to grab the cache out. We will come back to sign the log. TFTC TBC!

Took a trip north of the river as far as Yanchep to find some caches. Pleasant day out with most caches found quickly. Thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches for everyone to find

Only a logbook there now just sitting in the tree.

Enjoyed a nice afternoon of caching to cleanup a few caches nearby to my Wattle Day 2018 event in the Hales estate in Forrestfield.

Thanks for a nice days caching in glorious weather.

31-May-18
I had a few hours spare today, so decided to grab a couple of smilies in the area Smile
This was was an extra easy find as I found it on the ground beside the tree ... and without a logbook Surprised. I grabbed a new official logbook from the car and added my name before rehiding the container in the tree with some cover.
BTW ... the cache is now a 400ml systema (as noted from the CO’s log from the 14th April), but the page hasn’t been updated from a micro.

Hi there true blue containers.

We found your cache **"TBC # 4 - the local shops"** at 11:39:00 AM today. This one makes our find count 15111.

We started the day off by nominating a cache that we thought we could log a FTF (which we did). Then we took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

Today we found 10 caches & DNF'd 2. Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 7m from where our GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The log book has been soaked and mouldy at some stage..
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found it, but water was dripping onto the tin from the tree, which previous finder would not have known would happen unless it was raining. Log is a bit damp. See how it goes.

I met up here with 2 of the fivesmith this afternoon on their very first day of caching, as they were having some trouble with this initially, but when I arrived they found the cache before I barely got out of the car!

A nice and easy one here with no fairs or parties this afternoon, so the area was quiet. Thanks for the cache true blue containers!
