Pretty sure the cache is gone. There was no cachey thing to be found at GZ.
 
25-Jan-18
No joy today. Pretty sure I am at the right place though.

Out on a CBD night run with Barnzy12, he was a little more prepared than me with high vis jacket and all to blend in.


HeritagePerth I found your cache Babies in Bronze thanks for placing this hide and bringing me to this area.

The object att my caclulated coordinates agreed with the hint, but could not find the container.

The planets aligned tonight and my mother had left my house early after dinner and my wife was on bed so I had a couple of hours to kill before bedtime so shot a message out to Cravo10 to see if he wanted to head out to the CBD for some night time caching while the CBD was quiet with some muggle diners and council workers.

Decided to nail down a bunch of multi caches we had been working towards for some time.

I rarely visit the CBD, I think the last few times have all been for caching as I generally hate traffic.

How awesome are the lights, the mix of old and new buildings, the sculptures, and just the general vibe.

Loved the caching tonight. Great night with lots of pictures taken a couple of caches found a couple of DNFs, isn't that what caching is about?

I do enjoy that moment of discovery after several minutes of being baffled. Thanks.

I planned to go cycling today and pick up as many caches as I could while I was at it. I left home at 5:00am to make the most of the morning. This was the seventeenth cache I found. I got the numbers required and headed to GZ. Once there, I had to wait for a break in muggle traffic before I was able to find the cache.

Babies in Bronze, I found your cache ‘HeritagePerth’ today. It was the seventeenth find of eighteen finds today and my total count now lies at 960. The cache was found in a good condition, so I added my signature to the log book and I replaced it as I found it. Thank you for the cache, the hide and for bringing me to this location.

Find #1325
I was enjoying my wander around the city and making the most of the quiet Sunday to look for a few caches. I had walked past these bronze statues before without even realising that they were there! I solved the coordinates easily enough and was able to search in peace. I found bits of the cache - looks like some maintenance is needed. TFTC!
 
16-Nov-17
Found the bronze babies and worked out the coordinates then found the obvious place, but only a magnet in place no cache? Can CO please check if this cache is still in place or not?
 
12-Nov-17
Great little multi found on the ground replaced on the water fountain. Cool camouflage co needs to check.

These cute little babies in bronze caused me no end of problems. I had worked out the coordinates at home in NZ and when I went to find it a couple of nights ago all I could find was a magnet. I also visited the bronze babies but the plaque was too hard to read in the dark. So I contacted the previous finder (logged at that time) and they replied that others had found it since but were yet to log. So I looked up the subject and decided maybe I had the answer wrong but it shouldn't have made more than a couple of metres difference. So today I returned to the plaque and statues to "do" properly but that only confirmed my original workings. So back to GZ for the third time and refound the magnet. TFTC # 11,302

Thank you! Wanting to fill in a hole in my calendar, I thought I'd give this one another go. I'm not sure how I missed it last time. Must have been all the lunchtime traffic.
 
04-Nov-17
Nice and simple multi. I had to look at the hint to find the cache though. It is a great hiding spot but the container doesn't seem very secure - hope it stays in place... Thank you for the cache HeritagePerth.

Opportunity for us to meet up for lunch today so being a sunny Friday we thought the gardens here would be a perfect place to rendezvous - and provide a bonus chance to have a look for this cache as well Smile Stage 1 located and numbers easily crunched to reveal GZ not too far away. We grabbed some lunch nearby first then headed over to GZ for a search. Container was quickly located and log signed. As others have commented it's no longer magnetic but if wedged in like we found it then it still seemed pretty secure. Replaced as found then headed off to find some space on the grass for lunch Smile No problems here today - TFTC

tftc Heritage Perth a quick solve and a quick find as well. The log is damp and it really needs a waterproof log for the type of cache you have placed out.
 
28-Oct-17
Back in Perth for a couple of days and trying to close some gaps in Caches.. great quick puzzle.. T4T$
 
20-Oct-17
had a little trouble finding the plaque, but eventually saw it. It was easy to the end from there =)

TFTC!

Tried but could not find.

CO should check that this cache is supposed to be where it is currently located after we put it back near to where we found it.
 
07-Oct-17
I had worked out the required information on a previous visit into town but due to being late for an appointment didn't go for the cache at that time. Today the better half and I were in town to do a couple of earthcaches and decided to do this cache as we were nearby.

Found the cache without problems as it was detached from whereever it was supposed to be. Log signed and cache returned to a spot we thought would be safe.

Thanks HeritagePerth for the cache.

Quick find with Thro60clan and geodaughter

Ran into some fellowcachers while tracking down an earthcache for today
They pointed us in the direction of this cute little pair...
The kids Nana used to draw these little people with them when they were younger

Second look and found it today .nice little hide. Not What I was expecting. Tftc
 
05-Oct-17
Quick solve and find. Found in a state I expect was not the original. May need attention by CO. Thanks

Revisited this sculpture this afternoon after a previous night visit looking for somewhere to eat and deciding it would be too hard to attempt (quite a few muggles hanging around the park...)

After gathering the clues we headed to GZ where after a quick search I spotted the cache lying on the ground in plain sight... It appears to have become detached so I replaced it as much underneath the hide/"camouflage" as possible close to where I found it - needs some TLC from the CO I think. TFTC

We found it but didn't have a pen to log it. I've got a picture if you need proof. 30 September 2017 11:59 am TheThurstons 263

19-Sep-17
Could the CO please check this cache is in place?
 
03-Aug-17
No luck for me today I afraid. I searched all around GZ but didn't spot anything. I'll keep an eye on this and try again after someone else finds it.
 
29-Jul-17
Had a quick look for this one just as the rain began to pelt down. Couldn't find anything but own to not completing a methodical search. Will return. Tftc. Most enjoyable.

We made it untill the point the hint was guiding is us. Unfortunately we did not find the actual cache.

Visited here yesterday with my waypoint ready, but found that I was lead to an inaccessible part of the gardens. Went home and checked my calculations: duh! I had entered an incorrect digit which had put me 100m from my correct destination. Came back today with birthday boy geoson SpiderJockey07 who made a quick find of the cache. TFTC Smile

This was the second cache found on my early Saturday morning bike ride though the city. Again, few people about. Took a bit of feeling about until I felt it. Thanks for the cache.

I was at the other bronze babies in South Perth when this listing was published. I stopped to log this find on the way home. I couldn't find a plaque but googled the answers. Logged a find in the rain before dashing back to my car to try to beat peak hour traffic. Thanks for the hide.
