Last day of freedom for me this school hols with other commitments filling the upcoming weekend, so decided to make the most of it and headed northwards with this area in mind. Swung by and picked up Mrs Jackylegs 44 on the way through Mandurah. She was making noises about "not enough sleep" but I wasn't listening, and certainly wasn't going to take NO for an answer.
Soon enough, we found ourselves zeroing in on these two series, with this one being part of the original series that I never managed to get to until today. Enjoyed exploring the area around here immensely, with at least 8 separate long-neck tortoises being spotted this afternoon, all heading away from the water and several trying to cross the road.
Despite us resorting to using the hint, and giving it our best shot, we weren't able to locate this cache at all. Just as well the tortoises were providing us with such a special display, made up for the lack smileys. The CO might like to come and check on this one too. Thanks anyway cravo10.

Running out of time to be out caching and getting dark meant we only had a cursery search for this cache and came up empty.
Found with axell33 and the geohound. A great day for caching on this sunny Sunday. Quite a few muggles so had to be careful, so handy having the geohound as camo! Tyftc
Stppped to grab this one while we were in the area on a beautiful Sunday. It was muggle central when we got there. Leega did a great job ducking in and making the grab without being seen. Log signed and now for the return, once again Leega duck in and out without being noticed. TFTC cravo10.
Some great success around this swamp this morning which was a nice start to the day. I wasn't inspired to try for #6 since I dnfed there previously. Thanks for the series so far.
Been a struggle around this swamp today with multiple DNF's, but this one was a fairly easy find with the hint. TFTC cravo10.
P.S. seems to be a few numbers missing from this series and didn't note any clues in the caches relating to the final. Maybe my bad.

Up early to grab some caches between Spearwood and Rockingham. This series was a major drawcard and we grabbed all available in the series without a problem. Thanks cravo10
Having seen this series published a few days prior we made arrangements with richlink to meet here today to tackle these caches before travelling a little further south to grab a few others. Thanks cravo10, great job.
Originally logged under clan-wallace. Geohubby wants his own caching name so guess who is relogging the lot for him?
Empty park, except for the Troll on the skateboard so it was a nice quick find. TFTC
Headed out with the geodaughter Kristybelle to do the Market Garden Swamp walk series. All the traditional caches were found quite quickly but we did have a bit of trouble finding the final. We came back for a second look for the final and it turns out we just didn't look properly as the co-ords turned out being good...A nice quick series to complete with a few novel cache containers TFTC cravo10
Another quick find in the obvious spot. The log was signed and onto the next one.

Coast was all clear early in the morning so was able to nab this cache in the clued spot. So glad there was no bush bashing in a swampy area like this. TFTC!
Back today to avenge our couple of DNFs and complete the series. Much quieter here this morning which made for an easy discrete search.
TFTC cravo10 this is find # 1532 for us

When the boys said they wanted to head to a skate park, who was I to argue ?
As we pulled up and they headed off, I checked my usual saved caches and nothing here. Thought I better check the live map and it lit up
First stop, the bridge. No joy on the first scout so I headed up to number 3 before returning for a second hunt and I struck gold
The kids nearby weren't at all interested so I quickly added my name in top position before heading over to the bench to watch my. It's burn some energy.
A {*FTF*} here today.
I can't wait to catch up with everyone again at
[WA GOES BIG 2017](https://coord.info/GC6TD11) in Rockingham, WA.
Perths big event is on again.
**See you there**.

TFTC! A very nice walk around the market garden lake. Had the pleasure of doing the loop with the cache owner a while back.
Was surprised to see it took him this long to submit these caches to the reviewer as we had placed them a fair while ago.
Now that others have collected the first to find on the caches, I will also log a find.
Thanks for a nice walk Cravo, I'm sure others will enjoy this walk sooner rather than later.

Or more a case of did not search. We know where we need to search but the area was teeming with kids using the nearby facilities and we felt we couldn't conduct a search without drawing attention and potentially comprimising the cache. We well come back mid week during school hours
