My 7 yo son loved finding this one. Thanks

I found it months ago by accident thinking it was something else...before I realised geocaching was actually a big thing in Australia. I finally downloaded the app and have now signed it

Ltf

Could not find

That was a great little puzzle.
Had to trouble the librarian to find it.
One of my favourites.
Thanks to Kyzabra for the creative genius.

Out and about again, a had some feee time so headed out to get some caches. Taking my opportunity whilst the rest of the family is busy.

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.

Out with the Cockburn Crew on a bit of a caching run to grab some new caches. Cheers Kyzabra!

Join me at the 10th anniversary of WAGB in Narrogin on Friday 2 June to Monday 5 June 2023. There’ll be plenty of geocaching fun to be had, I can’t wait to see you there!

Made it into the final destination finally here today. I worked over the road a year and a half ago still didn’t walk in and try it out!

Went looking for what was needed instantly not reading the full detail, then made it to the correct location however still wasn’t able to find it! Turns out it was staring at me on display on the top shelf! I wonder how long it will stay on display.

Great cache with a little extra ink on the logbook now TFTH

Great puzzle and spot

A great find. Very clever.

Achilles enjoyed looking at the modern artwork and venturing indoors to where the treasure was held - very different from the battlefields he is used to.

A multi with a twist, what fun this was. Solved the clue word no probs and headed to WP2 for a nice relaxing stroll round to try to figure out how to find the cache. I definitely overthunk the clue but thankfully being where I was no-one looked twice at me ambling around looking at everything. Once I figured out what to do and had what I thought was the right code I had another search with no luck so back to the original search.....duh! read whats in front of you! Found eventually after stopping to read properly and stop overthinking!

Definitely a favourite, I wish there were more like this around! I did not mind that it took me half an hour as the setting was perfect and I enjoyed every minute... this is where I want to work when I grow up (can you still say that at my age!

Well done Kyzabra for placing and maintaining such a fantastic multi for us and others to find and thoroughly enjoy! Fave added with happiness!! Sometimes you wish you could give it 100 FPs! So clever and such a great location!

The Better Half saw the new caches in Baldivis get published but had to wait for me to return home from the museum and a package to be delivered before we could travel down down to the area to do them. After finding the new caches we also did some of the other caches not found by us in the area.

Cache found without problems as we had solved the location some time ago but the library was closed at that time. Log was signed and the cache returned as it was found.

Thanks Kyzabra for placing this cache for us to find.

I saw the new caches in Baldivis get published but had to wait for Chwiliwr to return home from the museum and a package to be delivered before we could travel down to do them. We also did some of the other caches not found by us in the area.

Chwiliwr and I had worked out the information required some time ago but the Library was closed on that day so today we came and found the cache in between doing the newly published caches.

Cache found without problems. Log was signed and the cache returned as it was found.

Thanks Kyzabra for placing this cache for us to find.

Got the first piece of information easilt enough, but I somehow managed to overcomplicate (or, add a step that I simply appeared to have made up) the puzzle, so ended up with information that would never have worked.

I touched base with the CO who correctly asked 'where does it say to do that'. Err...Hmm..It doesn't. So with a little rework, I had the info I needed to take to stage 2.

Once there, I made use of the resources needed to find what I was looking for and with a little assistance and direction from a friendly muggle, I was off in the right direction and soon had the cache in hand.

Very nicely done I must say and I liked the puzzle part as well. My name is in the log and the cache is back where it came from. Here's another favourite point to add to the collection.

Cheers Kyzabra.

Out and about with richlink on a blustery miserable day, but that doesn't keep a dedicated geocacher down now does it!

We loved this cache, thank you.
A fave from us.

This has been on our ‘to do list’ for a long time. Glad to have completed the tasks with ILT today and to record our visit . Thanks Kyzabra

This is brilliant TFTC

Very favourite point worthy!!

I did this one over two trips. Definitely very happy when I spied the cache container.

Well done Kyzabra

We needed some assistance. Fantastic hide. Thanks.

Accompany with K.B. Enjoyed myself for the day with her company - mostly she found all caches before me signed the log as KB, EV.

Thanks Kyzabra for the cache and hunt. [^]

Took us longer than it should for this one but nice hide...found with vaka5
Fav coming your way

With a nudge in the right direction from The CO and three times having to visit the final destination we finally find it! Definitely one of my favs and my geo family and I really enjoyed finding this one! TFTC

Went out for a drive to find a few caches around the local area.

I have never done a cache in this type of location, despite seeing multiple videos about them, a fav for me for sure!

Cache was signed and replaced as found. TFTC

Cache is good to go again.

Cache not accessible at the moment.

Really enjoyed this multi. Such a cool idea. After narrowing down the location of GZ using the impressive facilities available in-house, I soon had the treasure and was signing the log. Thanks Kyzabra. A favourite point for the enjoyable journey.

Definitely a fun find and a favourite for us. Learnt a new code cracking technique. Thanks for the unique cache

Very clever thanks for hiding this cache.

Oops... Closed right now... I'll snag it next time I'm in the country!

After really looking at clue we found it and was very clever signed log and left coin didn’t take anything
Very well done

after some long hard thought, worked out all coordinates and the clues.

such a great hide, signed log and left small coin, did not take any small item.

thanks for the cache! & the new peaceful location

Headed south to pickup the two local caches that were published yesterday, and decided to head further south down to Baldivis to cleanup a few more caches that have been on the radar for a long time.

It was pretty hot outside today, with my car saying 38 degrees so I tried not to venture too far from the car.

Thanks to the local COs for some fun.

A great cache and thankful to finally get my name in the book. I nearly had to relearn something I learnt years ago in school. But if you read the info you will get it easily.

Add fav.

After making a hash of this one yesterday and talking to the Co at an event, today we came again to try our luck.
We realised we had successfully worked out the code word yesterday but it was the search at the library that brought us in stuck. Now realising on our first attempt when doing our search I should have worn my glasses. Today with them in hand made the search easy and located the cache very easily. Love the camo and enjoy these type of caches, thanks for all the effort you have put into this cache.

So checked up at GZ and the physical location has moved slightly. Same building, same method to find. I would suggest you try and "Find it"

Unfortunately I did not find this one! Spent AGES looking but no luck..... Neat Idea tho!

Found with buttercup380 tyftc! Hearted it; thought it was clever

Mum helped me and Catilious found jt.

We confess to not being big multi fans but awarding a fave for this fun little adventure.

TFTC Kyzabra this is find # 5154 for us.

In the words of the Geo minion "Best cache ever"

Found with axell33, he's had this one on the list to do for a while now and finally had the day to do it. This cache brought me to a place I've been meaning to visit as it is 'just up the road', so thank you for that. A great venue and after a bit of unsure search axell33 found our prize.
Thanks for the cache, a good one to do in all its aspects!

Worked this one out awhile ago but finally got the chance to go hunting. We found the search area and began the search, after one go around we started our second pass and spotted the prize. Love the camo, brilliant. Signed the log and returned to its resting place. TFTC Kyzabra.

Headed out today with urch who needed a whole swag of caches to top up her growing collection of hidden creatures. As for me, well I just needed one more find to earn my last one, the lovely World Turtle. After that task was accomplished, we just followed our noses, stopping here and there to look for caches and earn more smilies. This one had us scratching our heads for a bit, but we persisted in our quest and the prize was soon ours. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to come and find Kyzabra.

Took a day off from tedious around-the-house stuff to get out and have a last minute run of collecting more of these little Hidden Creatures, but ended up a bit short of the magic 100. Lovely winter's sunshining day, with very few muggles, and just a couple of nasty DNFs - making for a very successful and enjoyable day's caching.
This was my favourite cache for the day. A multi-stage and intriguing adventure and well deserving a favourite.
Many thanks for your cache Kyzabra.

Our 200th find!
It was the perfect cache for geokid (who is recovering from tonsillectomy).
TFTH!

Second time looking for this, thankfully the area was empty and found quickly tftc

Headed down this way today and this was one of our target caches. Always love a good multi and this definitely fits the bill. Found the required info and sat in the shade to convert code. Hopeless at these things but came up with something that might pass at a pinch. Headed to the second waypoint, looking very scruffy after a few earlier bush caches, but still managed to gain entry. Found the required room and even though another user was there, he had headphones on and was totally oblivious to the invasion. Found an extremely well presented cache without too much trouble . Great cache, location and idea. Thanks Kyzabra. A fave.

A favourite place. Took a bit of searching as not where I expected. But thoroughly enjoyed hunting it down. TFTC.

This was my first ever multi cache. I'm not sure was the code was for but i found the cache in its very clever hiding spot. Still unsure what to do with the code....

Visiting OOH YEH, we were scanning the map over a morning cuppa, & this cache sparked our interest... Of course we set about figuring it out & it was not long before we all piled in the cars and set off to Baldivis

Once at GZ, we thought we may have been there a while but luckily Mrs OOH YEH was on the ball & spotted it straight away

Thanks for the cache Kyzabra Great idea for a cache & we enjoyed nutting out the puzzle too!!!

Took: Nothing
Left: 1 x TB

Jasenjanine and the kids stayed at our house last night and this morning we started talking about this cache. We decided we would all give it a go and it didn't take us long to work out where we had to go and what we were looking for. Arrived at GZ and it was pretty quiet and luck was on our side as the cache was found in the first place we looked. A fav point for a fun cache TFTC Kyzabra

A rainy day today made this cache an ideal one to grab. We had collected the info at WP1 a few days ago and liked the artwork a lot! A neat set up here and a well deserved fave point from me.

Hi there Kyzabra, we were out geocaching in this area today, 7/10/17, and found your cache Secret Beetles GC7CNPV at 10:35 am. Thanks for taking the time to place this cache out here for us to find!

This brings our cache find to a total of 8458.

{*FTF*} @ 9:05 feat. bugTcup & SwampMonkey008.

After a late night drive to get the needed information, I returned this morning to attempt the FTF, with some other teams waiting for opening time we were joined by the CO and talked about the cache prior to opening.

With the doors open it was a mad rush to find the needed information before heading to grab the find, but we were in the wrong place and a quick nudge put us in the right area.

The cache was found quickly and we signed everything and had a quick chat before heading on our separate ways.

TFTC Kyzabra, a favourite from me.

{*FTF*} @ 9:05 feat. CJ_252 & SwampMonkey008 What an adventure...we read the email last night & sped to WP1, gathered the required info then off to WP2 (after driving in circles for 5 mins). We arrived at 6.10pm so knew we wouldn't be able to get into GZ . Early start & we arrived at 8.45 ready to race the masses of geocachers who were surely all hunting a FTF this morning...alas no. Only 1 suspect waiting for 9am. The CO joined us for a chat then the race was on. A few wrong turns but soon the cache was in hand. Love this cache! A favourite point for sure .

We have to meet m4yb at 10:30 to go bush bashing. I persuaded PP1 that we had time to collect the information at WP1. I surprised myself how quickly I achieved this & that I was familiar with the result. Will Maddy mind if we are a little late....no of course she wont. Dashed indoors, met Big T cup & swampmonkey08 & soon grabbed our prize. Left a pathtag. Well thought out multi with a puzzle twist. Good one to teach the kids....as Big T cup was doing with swampmonkey08....lovely to see. TFTC kyzabra have a fave.
