The creator needs to make this again as we have a disappointed 3 year old. #squadgoals
Had a look and all we could find was a lid and the note saying the log book got replaced last year..
Found yesterday afternoon and has been broken and destroyed as everything has got wet
Good find. Only lid left so have placed a replacement log..may require new notebook. Left a surprise..you'll have a ball.
Headed down to Busselton, for a sunrise event, and to pick up a souvenir for Canadian day. Picked up some caches on the way down and on the way home. Thanks for a lovely weekend and event.
Thanks for the hide. After no luck in a nearby park cache it was good to enjoy a walk in the bush and make this find.
Found it but needs maintenance. Couldn't sign as log book soaked and mouldy. lovely Wal TFTC
Found it but can't write on log or swap etc as it is completely full of water. Unfortunately we don't have anything to fix it with. Maintenance required.
Hi there arnold05.
We found your cache **"Kingston Gem"** at 9:17:00 AM today. This was our 2nd cache find today & this one brings our total find count to 15282.
Today's cache run started off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site. 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, some were where we thought they were, and some we had to search around for a little while. At the end of the day we found 7 caches today & DNF'd 2. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** Cache was trashed (see photo). We restored the cache as best we could, and hid it again.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Today ws the last day of the school holidays and I was hoping to get in one last caching spree before having to return to work and my "little cherubs" (year 10 - 12 students are far from being cherubs, believe me!!). Had it all planned too, except that the unexpected happened and my caching companion had to bail on me. Disappointment all around. Bugger!!
As fate would have it though, regular geobuddy Mark was up with the sparrows and sent me a text asking if I wanted to go caching only minutes after receiving the other message. The planets must have all aligned and days caching was back on again. Yay!!
And it turned out to be a fantastic caching day too with lots of great caches in some very scenic locations, lush green countryside, sunshine (mostly), service with a smile from my chauffeur for the day, lots of laughs, cheese tasting in Harvey and of course a double cone icecream to top it all off.
Perfect way to spend my last day of freedom. Only wish that Eliktrisiti could have come along too. She would have loved it, being a relative newby at the game. There will no doubt be other days though...
No problems finding this cache once we navigated our way through the labyrinth of streets in Kingston. Was surprised to see a very large black muscovy drake soaking up the sunshine on someone's front lawn not far from gz - didn't seem to have a care in the world.
PS Mark dropped off a trackable here to continue it's journey.

Hadn't planned on caching today but after a late breakfast the weather was looking good so a last minute download of caches onto the gps, grab the pooches and out the door. We were fortunate to arrive at a parking spot near gz in between the showers we had dodged during the afternoon. Enjoyed the walk to gz with the pooches to make a quick find. Thanks arnold05
enjoyed finding the well hidden cache and a walk around the path a bonus TFTC TNLN
Out with dimor to grab a few caches in the area. This was number 1 day. Nice quick find in a lovely area. TFTC
Rach 2 wasn't busy and I was meant to have a nanna nap but we went and grabbed a few caches instead
Parked on Waterford even tho Nuvi was telling me to go onto Forrest Hwy. A quick find then waited for muggles to go passed before putting back

Headed down south for a couple of days to pick up some caches that have come out since we were last here. All caches were found with a couple that took a bit of searching. TFTC
Woohoo !!! Found it !!! Had a crack at this one when first published for a FTF but no luck then. Have now turned the frown upside down and made it a smiley. TFTC
What a way to end a great Easter Long Weekend than with a few Geocache Finds!! This one was a great find, watch out for local spiders, left a couple of little collectables in the container.

The Original coordinates were out by about 7meters but they have now been updated and is easy to find
Came back after work with the geo-sidekicks, gave a good looked everywhere and nothing. Either the geo-kids camoed it good or the is something astray ? ? ?
First ever first to find. Wow
Cheers
*updating log once home.
Was an exciting chase to get my first to find and enjoyed every minute of it. The run at lunch time, on a high and no luck.
Brought the side kicks out after work and still no joy...
New gps point is only about 4 or 5 meters from my first zeroing of gps and as I expanded the gz area, I must have toned down the eye site as I did look near it. But its hide is very well done and hidden good. Great job on the camo kiddos
