Find 15 of 32 firstly on a nice walk around the Treeby/Banjup bushland and then on a bike ride around Southern River, starting in on a huge pile of solved puzzles but barely making a dent. Our entertainment today was mainly provided by fratra, LAXA, Dark Energy and Potatonator. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these caches.
Mr O breezed past the hide and Mrs O found the clever camo straight after. Oops.

It was starting to get dark and I arrived expecting a lengthy search. Luckily I happened upon the camo within a minute. TFTC
I don’t know when I will get the hang of this, I have only found one in months! More hints?
Must be well camouflaged! Spent about half an hour searching and couldn’t find a thing. There was a tree full of bees so couldn’t search it properly
What an awesome job! As newbies this had us stumped for a little while but we found it in the end. Had no idea what a cap-o-cache was but now we do!! Great camo tftc
We couldn't find it any where but found a dinosaur so maybe someone took it? Or please more clues.
Hi there Potatonator. I was out today for a day of Geocaching. This cache was one hunted and was a quick find, and the container and log are in good condition. Thanks to Potatonator for this cache. Our find # 8458
Last one for the day and with an increasingly tired Mr Z I set a timer for two minutes and told him when the alarm went off we would leave.
With the chimes starting in the phone I spotted something out of place and sure enough it was the cache.
As a previous finder has said it was found on the ground and I have placed it in a likely spot and sent photos to the CO.
Thanks Potatonator for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1882 for me.

After being stuck in an office all weekend, and will the assignments piling up, I had to work on one until 4am this morning. After a short 5 hour nap, I woke to a host of new caches published 30 mins ago. So I hopped in the shower, freshened up and made my way out to try my luck on them. After, I nabbed a few solved puzzles and caches.
After a search, I found the cache on the ground. Have hidden it back where I believe it belongs. Have taken photos of where I've placed it, let me know if you need them. Thanks Potatonator.

This one certainly is deserved of a Favourite Point. Unfortunately it was left lying in the open. We placed it in such a way that we thought it was intended. If the CO would like clarification contact us and we are happy to put it back as found. It is a great little piece of construction and fits in quite well where now placed. Thanks for taking the time and making the effort Potatonator.
Pre easy find, good camo! Came here after destroying a burger at Johnnys, so we needed the exercise. Found with silas
Love it!
Really well hidden, my whole family was looking for it but then we found it.

Nice quick find on a lovely Saturday morning. If anybody needs a bong, you can find one here, free I'm sure.

With K.B. for the afternoon, mostly she found the cache before me anyway we enjoyed ourselves...
Thanks for Potatonator for the hide the cache and hunt.
Fav from me [^]

No trouble finding it. The log book was pulp so replaced that.
The glue has let go so we wedged a stick in to keep the cache in place. Just needs a dab of contact cement of anyone is heading to do this one.

That was a good place to hide it that was an easy find after we opened our eyes
Tfth Potatonator. Nice find after being disappointed at a puzzle cache nearby. One smiley after 2 DNF today. Cache in good condition.
Was real sneaky, only like 20cm off the ground but it is a bit broken, needs a quick fix
Yep. A fabulous and original camo. Haven’t seen one of these before. Just managed to grab it before joggers started the day. Favourite from me too. (Cache not the jogger!)
This was actually the spot of our first FTF ( GC5RD49 ) so it was although fitting location for our last cache to fill the caching calendar.
Thanks for the cache Potatonator

Another good camo, another fave. The log was soaked so we replaced it and put it in a plastic bag. TFTC
Bottom of cache is completely detatched and stuck. Took photo as proof of find but won't attach as it's too spoilery.
A couple of minutes and had it in hand. Nearly stepped on it at one point looking a little higher. Stepped out of trees to double check coords and turned around and spotted it. TFTC Potatonator.
Got a phone call early this morning from geobuddy marke8183 asking if I wanted to go caching - silly question to be asking me now isn't it? Of course I wanted to go caching - what better to do on a beautiful autumn day than go out and grab some smileys!
Headed northwards towards the big smoke with no set plans, but after starting our day at a nearby cache, this one was spotted this one and headed here for our next find. No problems finding this one. Thanks for the hunt and the smiley Potatonator

Nice Camo job! Needs maintenance though... Just a bit more of a challenge than it should be.
Out to show a girlfriend and her 2 daughters how to cache and had gone through the map near her home to get some very different caches so as they could see a variety of hides.
I am so glad I found this one as not only was it very tricky (we were about to give up) but it was a great cache to show newbie cachers! TFTC!!
I apologise for the late posting of finding this cache (I have been sick and then completely forgot).

A stop while on the way to the GeoAddicts Event in Cannington. Geo-hubby made the find while I was looking elsewhere. Container needs maintenance. Thanks Potatonator
Cache is still there but I may have to drop in another time (with tools) to fix the camouflage.
Looked, your dad walked by and said hi! Ha. Gave up, went to the the other nearby cache, couldn't find that either, came back. Seems it's not revealing itself to me.
Thanks for the cache Potatonator, it was very hard to get it out of it's hidyhole but i did get it out snd the log was duely signed.
TFTC! Another Thursday afternoon caching run with Cravo10. We've slowed down on the Ji bet of bush caches were getting due to the warmer weather and the serpents coming out of their winter hidey holes.
Today we focused our attention on the south eastern suburbs of Perth starting with the tour de Tonkin series in Armadale before heading down Wharton road to grab a few park and grabs through the southern river and canning vale areas including some of the laxa pepper pig series of puzzles which I made a meal of inputting the wrong cache co ordinates into the Cachly app before heading out so I really struggled finding a t4 tree climbing cache which was meant to be a small micro!! Alas we DNF at both caches at the same location!!
One of the highlights of the day was the teamaustralia cache tubular trouble PB problem, which had a great camo and a great concept behind it, special thanks to team laxa for keeping it going after the owners left the game.
We then ventured through parkwood and bull creek collecting more park and grabs before heading into duck territory to cleanup some of his latest creations, including his 100th hide dead end at the site of the old pumps01 cache which sadly had to be archived (was some of my fondest early moments of caching).
We then completed the prospecting fun puzzle and evil intent caches at piney lakes which were both great although we had trouble locating the nuggets, we only managed to find two but the numbers were rusted off so we did the old try every combination trick whilst trying to desperately locate more nuggets and whilst walking back and forth to evil intent cache which was another good duck cache and different too.
Thanks to the local COs for a greats days caching.

TFTH out and about with Barnzy12.
Another great day with the sun shining and warm day compared to the long winter we have had.
Found a variety of cache types today as we cleared the map in and around the canningvale area. Drove past work on multiple occasions today however not once was I keen to go in.
Thanks to all the COs for the placement of the caches TFTC

Nice cammo, very inventive. Although it still needs some attention, glue has not stuck. Tftc
[^] A cool camo on this one, we look forward to finding more like this [^].

I should have read the description which may have shortened the search. Good camo.
Thanks Potatonator for the cache.

Parked nearby and walked across the road to GZ. A short search and I came up with the he goods. Tftc
For a brilliant hide and constructed camouflaged Cap-O-Cache a favourite point is in order. TFTH Potatonator.
I was on my way to visit my mum in gosnells so i stopped off on the way to grab this cache. With spot on co-ords it didnt take long to find this cache that blends in very well with its surroundings. TFTC Potatonator
