Sorry cashers, this cache is now in an unsafe restricted zone damaged by recent storms and not available until further notice.
I thought I knew what I was looking for but had no luck. The beach is closed due to serious erosion so be careful!
Another one very fool me.. but admired so neat job.. Signed the log as EV and thanks for the cache and hide.

I had figured out what this was before we had arrived, so this was a quick find.
It was nice to have a quick find after spending way too much time at the north mole cache.
Thanks for this hide

Out for an evening drive and relax. Picked up a few caches before winding the windows down and enjoying the cool ocean breeze near the port while having a nap for a couple of hours. All in all, the relaxing evening I needed.
Quick find. Well set up in a nice location. Have included a photo or two of sunset. Cheers way-finder!

The Sandtracks beach is now open to visitation after a long closure due to erosion and road maintenance. The cache is back and ready for the keen cacher. Good luck.
Regretfully, Explanation Point II cache disappeared with much of Port Beach and nearby dunes during the last big storm. It will be replaced as soon as access is restored. way-finder
While others searched one area I was sent to another to stand back and look
Apparently with sun in my eyes I missed the obvious
Found by earthlight as we sat and pondered on a rock
Yep definately should have shaded my eyes when I looked
Would have found a lot sooner
Tftc fav today

I am on a maintenance run this morning so I thought might grab this one. Had found No 1 years ago so this was a quick park and grab really.

Found after much discussion with The X-Trailers. Searching at top and bottom. I sent Gwen to look up and said cant spot anything. Must admit only took minor look at the obvious . About to leave when i said am going to take cliser look and fou d it in plain sight. Never send your twin to do a job you can do yourself. Her excuse was that the sun was in her eyes. A fav point.

No muggles here this morning so it was great to make a quick find, log our visit and move on. Nicely constructed piece of work here way-finder; well done. All is in excellent order with "Explanation Point ll".
So this cache has always been one of favs ever since we did it. The location is awesome, the beach, being up on the rocks, the wind, the sneaky hide are just all perfect attributes for a great find coming into Freo today Mr ValoForce sees it pop back up as #II and we lit down here to reclaim it. Fav point fo sure!
Took some great pics whilst we were here! TFTC and Happy Easter!

Having previously found the original Explanation Point, this was a nice quick find for us today.
TFTC way-finder this is find # 4406 for us.

Although the last two caches I’d visited today were in the industrial areas - and so deserted on this hot public holiday - this one was quite the opposite: unsurprisingly the beach was packed! As I was close by however I thought I’d check out GZ anyway and see if there was any possibility of a find.
Parked the car up and walked towards the beach. Do I go up or down? Down was busy with bathers and I figured up would give me chance to scope out the muggle situation. Nothing immediately stood out so I sat for a few minutes on a big rock, and had a read through previous logs. One was very interesting as I think I’m sitting on the same rock! I hadn’t worked out the meaning of the hint but thanks to the log my keen eye soon spied the sneaky cache Retrieval was all in the timing as most people were laying down sunbathing or splashing around in the water - a quick grab went unnoticed and only then did I realise the significance of the hint! Lol. Replaced the same way then walked off smiling to myself that all those people on the beach were completely unaware what was hidden right in front of them TFTC

out and about today with shortie27, the mongrel and yeatesy89 a quick find here after checking the clue tftc
I only just noticed very recently that this one had fired up again as a new cache, so I brought my planned trip to Freo forward to claim this smiley and enjoy the sunshine at the beach today. Only a few muggles on the beach, sleeping / sunbaking in the scorching sun. Quick find. TFTC way-finder
Was out for the Geo muster Meetup after work today, had to also meet Mum after some minor knee surgery and then was free to go find some more boxes after that with the usual partner in crime Barnzy12
way-finder I found your cache Explanation Point II thanks for placing this hide and bringing me to this area.

A lovely evening for caching around the southern suburbs close to Perth.
Cravo and I agreed to meetup at the geomuster event in South Perth, before going out separate ways for dinner and meeting up afterwards for a quick caching run around the southern suburbs.
Had a good night picking up a bunch of puzzles that we had solved and a couple of good quality traditional caches.
Was nice to see everyone at the event, thanks must go to kyzabra for organising the event. Thanks

Found it. TFTC way-finder. This took me far to long, but I got there in the end. Sneaky little thing. It was looking at me all the time. Well done.
I sat on the rock for a while, kinda perplexed, before noticing something a bit out of place. Instantly realised the cache's location as I'd done one or two similar ones before. TFTC
Circular tour around Swan river picking up geocaches when we can, once the GPS settled a quick find!
Pen went missing out of the kit, so here is photo evidence until I can return to sign the log.
Nice camo! Like, seriously... WOW

Sorry, Spotandpatch. The cache is indeed missing and will be replaced again. Why can't muggles leave the cache alone? way-finder
Parked pretty close to GZ at this cache and the hubby remembered finding the last cache here so it was a nice quick find for us. TFTC way-finder
A stop here on the way home from an excursion SOR. I had found the previous incarnation, and despite the muggles on the beach enjoying the warm weather, I managed what I hope was a stealthy find, Thanks for this new cache wayfinder!
A bright and early start down south a bit with m4yb at the CITI further south. Decided to come home this way and made the slight diversion. I have very fond memories of my find of the first version and she loved watching me as it was my first encounter of this type of cache.
A fav for all of those reasons and the location, so far from your GCR series
Thanks for the smiley way-finder

Wild day and storm came in as i was commencing the search..v wet v quickly..i will be back
This was a good one. Very good clue, and a creative hiding place. Fell down the rocks a couple of times, however with a shattered kneecap and a mouthful of sand I realized where it was. 6th cache for the night, and the find put us at 4/6.
I was in the area today, and so I decided that I would have a go at tackling this cache. I started searching, and after a few minutes of getting nowhere, I decided to read the hint. I found the cache immediately after, very sneaky.
way-finder, I found your cache ‘Explanation Point II’ today. It was the third find of five finds for me today and brings my total count to 860. 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.

On holiday from new Zealand had me looking around and around for a little bit eventually the light bulb moment very clever many thanks for bringing me here and a definite fave. Cheers
Ahh yes..... After finding it we sat and watch some guy metal detecting. Without any luck we add.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
We had found the previous hide here, so had a pretty good idea what to look for, so this was a real quick park and grab now. TFTH
Our appointment complete, we headed south picking up a few caches along the way. We found the original version of this camo a few years ago. A return visit today to make a quick find. Thanks way-finder
Bit of deja vu here as distinctly remember the exact same hide discovered here years ago. Not that we're complaining. TFTC!
I was looking all over the place until I stopped and read the hint which helped me find it. TFTC
I had to wait for a worker having his early morning tea to leave the area before I could log the find. This style of container is listed as an example of an "other" size but having found the previous cache I knew what to look for. Another fantastic Winter day; photo attached. Thanks for another Western suburbs hide.

Noticed this one still unfound after finishing work. Swung pass with the chance of a ftf still up for grabs.
Having found the previous incarnation of "explanation point" a quick found was had once at Gz and a blank log to boot
