This was tough to navigate to; I was on my mtb which proved problematic. Eventually I had to leave the bike and walk to the cache. All in great condition and no one else around, despite the heritage trail being quite busy. Thanks for the hide.
We got the bikes out to check out a few of the sights in the park. This was our first stop for the day and was rather busy around the waterfall. We made our way to GZ and made the find.Thanks for the cache.
We were very keen to visit this national park, which is the oldest in the state, and we enjoyed following a variety of trails today.This Trail took us past a cache and with accurate coordinates we soon had a lovely piece of granite to sit on and log our find. What a stunning location and a wonderful national park. Thanks true blue containers Domsky
Another DT square filled! Hard to find an ant free place to stand to sign the log, but we managed to avoid them by marching on the spot while we signed the log tftc
Great to sit up on the rocks and enjoy the view. Good size cache for swappables.Thanns
Thank you! On a morning hike before summer gets too hot. Happy to make the find here.
Beware the guardians. They will scare the crap out of you as you reach for the cache
Out and about again, spent most of the day in
Parkerville and Mundaring area cleaning up a stack of caches.
Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today
Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

Cheers true blue containers!

Made the trek around in the Christmas Tree Creek Walk today and this should be our last, quick find, TFTC
A nice quick find while walking in the park. Awesome location thanks for the cache
This one had been on my to-do-list for a long time. Came to the Park with one of the muggle daughters, left her behind sitting on a rock while I went for the cache, only to get a call: where have you disappeared to? and a there was a text to the siblings: I have lost mum.....guess she cares!

Spending a lovely Friday enjoying the walks around John Forrest with some well earned refreshments with the kangaroos at the pub afterwards.
We walked up the other side of the creek along the railway form and past this one on the way back.
It didn't take too long to spot its hidey hole. I love the size of this one.

An unusually hot winter day (28°C) so we took a picnic to the falls. Thanks for the cache.
What a great day for a walk in the hills after good rain during the week..falls flowing magnificently..cache and log in excellent condition tftc
Back today minus the geopup, came to collect a few more smileys while the weather is cooler. Im not sure if it was a clever move as the rain has made it a little slippery. But all the logs signed without a mishap. tftc and an enjoyable early morning walk.
We headed out after lunch to collect a few smilies here, a nice quick find here whilst enjoying the area and hike, the view here was beautiful, deserving a favourite. A note to fellow cachers the bridge is closed but you can easily make your way around TFTC
Out with B12 & C10 on a sunny winter's day, collecting 51 smiles & 4 frowns.
Thank you TBC
Thank you TBC
Out for a day of caching around Darlington, Mundaring and the surrounding areas to cleanup the huge number of caches around these parts that have evaded us for a while.
A lot of bush caching today with some nice finds through John Forrest National Park, which I’ve always wanted to explore, but never got around to. The highlight of the walk apart from some great caches, informative signs along the trail, beautiful bridges, nice trails and great scenery was a walk through the Swan View Tunnel, which was absolutely awesome.
The other major walk of the day was around the Boya Quarry which is simply amazing for people that have never visited (I know many attended dark energy’s event out this way when his earth caches were still active in the quarry) beautiful views in particular from the top of the quarry and looking up the beautiful cliffs throughout the area.
We collected a bunch of other caches around the dam in JFNP, central Mundaring, and the Boya areas.
An amazing day out that finishes finding two old archived caches that have seen better days but would have been amazing to have seen in their heyday.
Thanks to all of the local COs for a great days caching, we had lots of fun. Thanks

Awesome location and my trekking party all impressed with the container. Some rock hopping before we narrowed down to the right rocks. Have seen some great spots on the Eagle Trail today but with all the flowing water this would have to be the group favourite. TFTC.
Quick find while walking the Eagle View Trail with full packs for practice before a holiday in NT.
Had been here a year or two before with my boys clambering over the nearby big rocks.
Nice to have a reason to return today and with a bit of persistance the find was made. Cool walk back to the the track over the tundranesque granite and moss.

Nothing like starting the morning with a bit of billy goat climbing. Naturally i took the hard way to find, but oh well. All good fun. Thanks for the cache.
With a rare cool February morning forecast I decided to leave home early and tackle some hills geocaches.
This was my sixth find of the morning. Great walk out here, quiet, cool and deserted. Much more fun than hunting micros in the burbs! . Grabbed the TB and pathtag. Fav point awarded. TFTC

After finally finishing off my hidden dates calendar today I decided to grab a few caches nearby with m4yb. This one was well worth it and although the falls weren't falling it did make for easy walking to GZ where after a bit of mountain goating the cache was found and easily extracted. Awesome location here and a great decent sized cache in good condition. What caching is all about in my opinion and a fav point from me. Dropped off a TB to admire the view.

A wonderful afternoon in the Hills with WebblyWA as she chases a few geocaches for a certain Challenge... These were welcome extra finds when we decided to take a walk along the path, to Hovea Falls.
At the small bridge a short discussion, the result of which was "let's go!" And so glad we did! We greatly enjoyed the walk to GZ, the view as we made our way, and the nice size container which WebblyWA made the find of. TFTC TBC, a fave from me!
Love this sort of geocaching and will be back to walk or ride along the path for the others.

TFTF, almost couldnt get to it as cache was well wedged into the rocks, took a good 10 mins of prying to get out. Success!
Also took minion travel bug from this cache.

Went the wrong way and had to crawl through a tight space and do some minimal bushbashing to make it, but what a fantastic location. Thank you
Camouflage king! Kids ended up with a bit a bark off, but the find quickly distracted that! Awesome find!
Fantastic adventure up to GZ with one of the Geokids (4 yrs) today. She loved the walk and as a favourite spot of mine was nice to visit with one of the kidlets; can't wait til the falls are flowing beautifully.
TFTC TBC!

Probably took the longest route to get here. Lovely spit though. Took one if the resident TBs. TFTC
We had only visited this location a couple of weeks back, but looking to burn some of the kids energy we took another walk here hopeful of some water in the falls this time? Turns out there was still no water but there were some students making a film dressed in some strange attire Thankfully the cache was not there & we continued on to find the cache over where we had explored last time... The cache was quickly found although the kids were no help as they were too busy rock climbing
TFTC & for bringing us back here true blue containers Awesome spot for a cache!
Took: GC
Left: 2 X TB's

First find!!! Just two hours after the last one! This is our first geo find! Nicely located!
FTF @ 09:26
Having nearly found all the TBC caches these two new ones put us two steps behind. Well it was decided to go for a walk and pick up these and other nearby caches.
This one was found after a short search and surprisingly was a FTF . It is in a great spot and deserves a favorite for its size and location I enjoy these terrain 3 and above caches the most.
Thanks for the FTF prize [^] ,another TBC cache off the list . Dropped un-activated travel bug for next to find and some swag.
Now it's off the the very close by (85m) Prickly falls cache

I spotted these new caches early this morning, but I was heading for a bike race and had to get a few things ready beforehand so really didn't have time to come up and find them.
On arriving home around 11am I saw that they were still not logged, so I got my stuff together and headed out hopeful of a FTF. It turns out I was third to find here.
I grabbed the unactivated TB left by the FTF, and left the Kims coin! GC in the cache.
