Wow! Cant believe we found this! First nano camo successful find in a long time! Love your effort on all the hides. Thanks for a great adventure and getting our steps up. With Bear95
Towards the end of our walk on this particular trail, we came across this lovely old sleeper.Across the line was a guitarist sitting nearby. Mrs Domsky sported her best air-flute playing and made a duet with him. Thanks dezzabills
Quick found here, One of the best and most unique caches we have found, Fav point TFTC
Found the sleeping dog. Obvious, yet not. Be aware of reptiles in the area when finding it. Unfortunately the note was packed in tight and waterlogged when we found it, so we did not log our details in fear of destroying it. Fun find!
Found this one while doing a bit of Sunday morning caching.
A nice and easy find in a lovely part of Perth.
Sneaky hide worthy of a fave point!

Back in WA after being on the road travelling since early 2014.
Headed out to tackle a few more caches. Amazed at how much some of these areas have changed since we were living and working nearby.
Fave point from us here.

Today is the Sunday after International Geocaching Day. The geocaching aim for TaurusSix and I today is to take it a bit easier than yesterday, clear up a few more caches in the Muchea area before geocaching meandering all the way back to Bunbury. We started with another nice hearty breakfast at our B and B before we bid farewell and we hit the road. It is a glorious day, it started quite chilly but that just means it is going to be a lovely sunny day around 20 degrees again perfect for geocaching and almost feels like spring is in the air.
After collecting eight leftover caches in the Muchea area we decided rather than park and drive for the rest of the day we would head to an area where we could park up and go for a nice long walk and collect caches that way. The plan was set we decided to drive to the Fred Bond Reserve in Middle Swan some 35 kms south. Upon arriving we realised the whole place was flooded most of the caches would be well and truly under water. So we quickly hatched a new plan to come to Whiteman Park, neither of us had ever been here before but it looked interesting and there were plenty of caches to be had.
This is our fifteenth cache find of the day and our seventh in Whiteman Park. We cut around from our previous trail along the road to get to this cache. A very clever hide which deserves a favourite point from us. TFTC dezzabills

Decided to start caching in whiteman Park today with MitchDem and the AL while we're in here, nice easy find but the log was missing, to be replaced, TFTC
Looked high and low, near and far, stumps and logs and even in honkey nuts but couldn’t find it!
Out for an exploration drive this afternoon and discovered this place we knew nothing about, but will definitely return to. Heard the train whistle as we were driving down the road, so stopped at the gate to take a look as it passed us by... of course, with a cache so close to where I stood, it was a no brainer to find it. I had an idea what kind of camoed nano I would find, and the host was clear as I headed toward gz, so a quick find was made once on location. FP awarded. Thanks for the hide dezzabills
A quick find here after a short walk in. TFTC.
Decided on a days caching last week with I C Nothing and Meme28 before we knew the weather. Thought we would go ahead despite the rain and weather warning. Some logs signed as MIK.

Cache found in good condition with Kapelula and ICNothing. Some logs signed as MIK. Thank you fir another smiley here.
Today we headed out for another caching adventure for some practice before WAGB. Hopefully Kapelula , Meme28 and I can can have a good run and not get to wet as we have puzzles and other caches we are looking forward to collecting today. We found your cache today in good condition thanks for the adventure. Logged as MIK
Brilliant hiding spot!
Glad to have read the description before commencing the hunt.

Well well, this one was so good I came and found it twice! As I was parking up I thought things seemed familiar then as I walked over to GZ and spotted the host I knew immediately that I'd previously found this one... but clearly failed to log it! Unrolling the log sheet there was my mark (under my old caching name) from Christmas Day 2019. I'd logged all the others from that day so not sure how this one escaped. Anyways, I signed again with the new date and as you can see I'm making sure this time it gets logged! An easy find but still a great camo hide. A fave point from me. All ok here today - TFTC
Thank you! Headed out for some Whiteman Park adventures with the nephews. Happy to make the find here, then stayed to watch the train go by.
Out on a lovely un-Father's Day (read A-i-W Mad Hatter's Tea Party) caching stroll with *Monkey, geospouses and geopooch at Whiteman Park on Market Day. Loved the variety of containers and hides. This is what Geocaching used to be ... thoughtful hides in sensible places rather than the iniquitous mint tin littered everywhere about the countryside. Better 10 clever hides than 1,000 inane ones. Not really 4* difficulty although hunt took longer than it should have because the cache outer container had fallen out of its hiding place. Please be careful when replacing the cache. Rare Quokka FAV point awarded for this series of caches. Thank you neva2old for laying this trail.
Out on the bike today to find some caches at Whiteman Park. Quick find here, cleverly hidden TFTC
A quick find here.
Perfect spring weather to head to Whiteman Park for a few hours of caching.
TFTC dezzabills this is find # 8056 for us.

This one was quite obvious which made it a quick find. Lost my pen earlier today so attached is a photo of the log sheet. Tftc
Mrs atCat had this one found in no time TFTC dezzabills! We love the little train on Rottnest. Maybe we've met.
Nice hide but might of pulled a screw out of the track by accident so fix it tho tftf!
We thought we would have a ride out to Whiteman park today as we have not been caching there since we were raw newbies. TFTC dezzabills
Nice hide suitable to locale; cheers.
Secretly i had hoped Whiteman Park would remain exclusively GA territory.

Today's plans brought me to Whiteman Park where I spent almost the whole day . Besides beautiful Fauna and Flora you can watch remote-controlled aircraft and even old trains and trams ringing and rumbling ! So time was flying and despite some nasty DNFs I was able to collect some new smileys on the map !
This D4 cache sounded interesting, so why not giving it a try [:o)]. Seconds later I could write my nick to the log !

Find 14 of 14 on a pleasant bike ride around Whiteman Park picking up all the unfound caches that remained - we now have a full set of 36 finds.
Good camo but Mrs. O. was on to it before I had laid my bike down.
TFTC dezzabills!

The D rating of this one had us interested so headed over. On getting closer we could see plenty of options and it all started to make sense. Fortunately we made the right choice and came up with a find fairly quickly and then added our name to the log. TFTC.
Loved the camo. Excellent one. Signed the log with PMDown. Thanks for the cache and hunt.
With only a day left to spend in the area we turned to the geocaching map and noted a reasonable cluster of caches in Whiteman Park so decided to spend the day there.
What a wonderful choice. We expected an urban park but it was so much more.
We began in the village area and were surprised by its stores, cafes and facilities. Then there were a number of trails that led through bushland, farmland and wetlands and areas for children and the Woylie area. Fantastic.
We did a lot of walking but had time for lunch in the cafe. A great day!
Another stop as we wandered back towards the village after following the Wununga Trail.
As we approached we were mindful of the D4 rating on this one, and a nano almost in the bush as well. It was on our way so we had a look on out way.
Lucky we did, as it was a relatively quick find. Well disguised and hidden, but it almost jumped out at us.

This is a cache that would’ve stumped me a year or two ago; I’m pleased that I found it. Worth a favourite for creativity
We decided to head NOR today to grab a few caches. This was one that we found on our travels. Cheers and TFTC.
A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!
This cache find brings our total find count to 9903. Woohoo!!

Out for a drive north of the river with the Better Half and doing a bit of geocaching whilst in the area. We enjoyed the walk to this cache after an earlier walk to some caches in Midland.
Found the cache without any problems. Log signed and cache returned as found.
Thanks dezzabills for placing this cache for us to find.
(Catching up on some missed logs from 2018)

Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Spent the morning caching around Whiteman Park & this was another cache we found whilst visiting the area... As we approached GZ the train was going by so we gave them a wave before commencing the hunt After a bit of a circle around, we soon found the host followed by another object we presumed belonged with the camo... Some more hunting followed & amazingly the nano was retrieved in the leaf litter
TFTC dezzabills We have replaced cache as we thought it should be & there is no chance of the next finder losing it.

Came out to Whiteman Park today to see how many smilies I could get. 22 out of 22. There were sleeping kangaroos but no dogs. This one took me ages but once I saw the camo I knew I'd found the cache. Tftc.
Very clever. Rate myself lucky to find this one. Nano in the Bush indeed. My guess at the clue was way off. Tftc. A fave
Wasn't sure whether to attempt this one or not by the description but ended up as a nice quick find.
Cache replaced after someone stole it. AND PLASE DO NOT MOVE THE CACHE ..LEAVE IT AS IT IS.
