PP2 - Ay Up Flower Secret Harbour, Western Australia, Australia
By pommieparkin2 on 18-Jan-18. Waypoint GC7H9GQ

Found it but forgot to bring a pen TFTC!

Came back with a pencil and loged it.

So cool will have to come back to sign it as I couldn't open it.

Signed the outside

Checked on this one today. It still in place, waiting to be found

Heading home after a nearby event. Quick find, and definitely much better decorated!

DNF

Nice one, knew what we needed before we came and pazza spotted the cache as soon as we arrived.Practicing our end-to-end bibb walk so tramping the streets with 15kgs on our backs, only did about 8kms today but managed to get a couple of smilies on our trek! So glad to find a few PP2's in the area that we hadn't found yet, always love a PP2!Thank you pommieparkin2 for placing and maintaining PP2 - Ay Up Flower for us and others to find and enjoy! Fave point added for another clever cache

Nice hide. Thank you, PP2.

Great hide

We are in WA to spend Christmas with our daughter who lives here. We didn't do a lot of caching this time for a range of reasons.We are down in Mandurah to see a couple of the giants and pommieparkin2 have kindly offered to accommodate us. After a hiccup with the morning's plan. Lady Morris rested and recovered at home while our hosts took Mr Morris out for some caching. We had admired these on our last visit but I don't remember there being a cache on any. A nice hide that didn't give Mr Morris too much grief.Thanks for contributing to our holiday, we will be back

Making secret Harbour get smiles all round and saw this would be a quick park and grab

Another cache in WA while we are here for a family wedding (from Melbourne).
Thanks for the cache!

We were sitting around doing nothing so decided to go and see daughter and granddaughter in Wellard. Gwawr wanted to do some caching so decided to head off south to do a few.

Did a walk around some caches and then after drove to find one and was just arriving at another when some new cache were published so head off for them. Once we found them we continued on caching for a few more.

Log signed and replaced as found. We had the right TOTT.

Thanks pommieparkin2 for placing this cache for us to find.

Ltf

Fifth trip over the Nullarbor in the last 12 months.
Didn't have the right TOTT but you can use a flat head or even a very flat key.

Good hide

Good hide! But needs a Philips head tool to retrieve log

Quick find and retrieve with the right tool

Nice one.

I spent an enjoyable morning walking around this lovely area and stopped by for this cache. The container was spotted and I took it to my car to do what was necessary to sign the log. All done and the cache replaced as found. Thanks pommieparkin2 for another great cache.

Out and about cleaning up some very south Metro area hides. Quick find here.
Thanks for the hide

8th find loved it

Such pretty painting. Makes infrastructure a lot more appealing. Thanks.

Easy find TFTC

Easy find. Love the flowers

Found it. Quick find. As others have said it has become an ant hotel.
Gave it a dose of some repellent and wiped out as good as I could.
Then replaced and covered the outside with repellent so hopefully will slow them down.
TFTC

Found this one today but omg the ants have a new home didn’t get to log name love the camo didn’t see it last time I came now I’m learning on what to look for

Nice camo. Thanks for the hide.

Forgot to mention that the ants had decided to make this one their home. I got rid of as many as I could. Hopefully I disturbed them enough to move on.
Thanks again.

Checked this one today. It's still there, in plain sight, waiting to be found.

I think it may be gone ??

Find 13 of 14 on a mountain bike ride around Secret Harbour. Left the car with our gracious hosts, the esteemed PP1 and PP2, and went out to see the sights!

Looking in the wrong spot for a while here, but changed our approach and spotted the clever camo.

TFTC pommieparkin2!

Today I am meeting up with Kapelula to collect some caches we have wanted to grab for awhile whilst we were geo kid free. I was a bit early this morning for our scheduled meet up so came and grab this traditional. Lovely container that justifies why I have a tool kit in my car. Thanks for the cache.

Found but didn't have the tool, loved the art

Personally, I really like the painted flowers. Brightens up the place!
Fantastic camo here. Lucky I had the required TOTT stashed away in the back of the car. Brilliant cache! Favourite point added TFTC pommieparkin2

That was a cool place to hide....thanks

Well disguised cache, we’ll have to pop back with appropriate tools to sign. And yes, the flowers are much prettier than graffiti!!

Yay we found it, after such a long time away from this pass time!
It was so lovely to bump into and meet you both (whilst social distancing of course! ). My son thought it was rather 'cool' to meet the people who had hidden the cache.
TFTC, we look forward to tackling some of your others

very impressive hide. fairly new to this so this was a big teaching moment about the sneakiness of some hides

Out getting some caches after work with axell33 and we returned to this one with proper tools of the trade for the job. No problem getting the log signed today. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Baldivis.

After grabbing a nearly mystery cache a few days ago we tried for this one and located it but our phillips on the pocket knife wasn’t up to the job, so we returned today with the proper tott. We parked nearby and quickly had the log signed and cache returned to its original state. I like these caches they blend in so well in urban areas. Favourite point coming up when I get a fresh delivery. TFTC pommieparkin2.

A nice quick find today to put another tick on the calender. Thanks for the cache

Ready to go

Fixed it

Small technical hitch. Back soon.

So after telling CO it was full of ants we came back to sign an found on ground so have put back as best as we could
tftc

came back to retrieve as previously it was accompanied by ants.

found on the ground, opened cache with tott & signed log.

have returned back as best as possible, as magnet has detached itself from cache & didn’t have glue to reattach.

tftc ️

Found yesterday but Mr Swiss was too short so returned today and let Geotrekky find this time. TFTC really enjoyed this one.

TFTC

Out and about today and I decided to check the map to see what was nearby.
I find myself with time to kill so I stopped by here for a find. Was watching one of the brumbies teams at Secret Harbour so a detour to grab a cache was in order. Can’t believe I’d not grabbed this one before.

Many thanks to pommieparkin2 for placing and maintaining PP2 - Ay Up Flower. I found it, I signed it, and put it back as found.

TFTC

Great “cheeky” hide
Thanks for maintaining this for all of us

PollyMichele beat me to this one this time although I was very close.

Found it! On my museum mystery travels. Dropped a tb here for someone to enjoy. TFTC

I was the eagle eyed one this time although Boofmuka was on the scent!

Wow great cami, took us a while. Don’t have the tools so took a pic as proof. Many thanks great job

Great find Thankx Z Poolman

Found by auspom67 he's on a roll today, scissors were our improvised tool tftc

Sneaky found with buttercup380

Found with the geofam have left a TB behind TFTC! Very clever

So glad I had a multi tool in the car, second time I’ve needed Mr Phillips today!! Thanks for the clever hide

Loving these caches.

Tftc.

TFTC! Very well hidden but my geoson found it. Loved the camo!

An easy find TFTC

A nice tour around Secret Harbour today.
TFTC

Picking up a few caches here and there on our way up to the city. Nice cache which was spotted as we drove up. Pleased we had the tools with us to open it. TFTC and for placing and maintaining it for our enjoyment.

After joining in on a FTF hunt not far away headed over here and quickly found the cache, a brief search of the vehicle for the needed TOTT and we were adding our name to the log, TFTC.

Hi, I’m Cirrus_WA but you may know me as CJ_252. Just a small change to my user name to take my actual name out of it.
I look forward to catching up soon at an event or in the field.

A quick find on arrival at GZ. We like these types of well concealed containers that are obvious yet hidden.
Thanks for the hide pommieparkin2. Good to meet you today.

Perfect colour match.
TFTC

Good camouflage. Leave some Ukrainian and Swedish coins. TFTC!

What a lovely idea, painting these normally very boring power boxes - tftc

After visiting friends in the area we continued our smiley hunt, a nice quick find here, with Mr Phillip close by he was able to assist us with retrieving the log and perform our signing duties TFTC PP2, a favourite here for the craftsmanship

Arrival saw us do a lap of ground zero before my wife said there is something here. Yep, that's what we are after. Back to the car for a moment and then the cache saw us putting our name in the logbook



Thanks for the cache pommieparkin2, found it at 11:34:00 AM it was cache number 2868 for me and was number 7 in my run of 8 finds and 3 DNFs for today's geocaching effort.

Cheers

Loved the art - make me feel warm/sunny but not - today is wet day. excellent camo.
Fav from me.

Love the pain job - did you do it PP2? Camo blends in perfectly. ThanksPP2

On our way home this morning from another cache, I thought we would make a quick pit stop here. It took a couple of minutes to figure this one out, then I had to search the car to find the required tool. I left a tag for the next finder. Thanks for a lovely cache.

Despite the miserable drizzling day I was finally coerced out into the wilds of our local area for a day of caching - the first in ages, I'm ashamed to say!
Pulled into the very handy parking spot and inspected the very colourful structure for some time before finally spotting the clever camo. Luckily there was the required tool on board so the log was soon signed and all replaced as found.
Thanks for the cache pommieparkin2.

Earlier this week I asked urch if she had started collecting any of her mythical creatures. She didn't know what I was talking about, and a plan was soon hatched to remedy that situation, despite the weather trying to stop us. We both looked at where we should head for, and this Lakelands seemed a good place to start, being our closest to home not found. From there we continued on northwards, stopping here and there as we looked for caches that neither of us had yet earned our smileys. This one was sitting there laughing at us as we checked all the wrong places first - DOH! Got it eventually though. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to find pommieparkin2.

I'm a sucker for those pesky souvenirs so once again its souvenir time and Team dimor (may as well include muggle and become a team, tho he only gives aid if asked ).

Yesterday we went down Bridgetown and Greenbushes and today it's Secret Harbour and Rockingham.
As the saying goes 'Gotta make hay while the sun shines' except it's 'Gotta cache while the sunshines

Haha have seen these before but that didn't stop me from walking around twice before that 'Duh' moment hit me, had a good laugh
Male dimor did the dead as lots of ants under cache and a few inside

TFTC

GeoSon grabbed this one before I had a chance to get out of the car! Nice cache!

Added to our favorites for the clever nicely made container

Finally had time to go find this cache today due to it being a long weekend All good - happy to be able to use a tool that had been unused in my car "just in case ". SL TFTC PP2 - will add to my favourites for the well designed container when I have some to spare Well done !!!

I too like the artwork that has been dabbed on these boxes around the suburb. Rode past here the other day, but could not attempt because the muggle in the house nextdoor was washing their car. To day, no muggles and a quick find. Log signed and returned.

Thanks pommieparkin2 for bringing me to this location. I found the cache at 3:35:00 PM. This was my 4 Find for today out of a Total number of 9 for Today. The cache was found in Good Condition and I returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 3732.

TFTC

Great location and nice paint work.

We headed out to grab a few of the new caches close to home. A nice camo here!TFTC

G’day there pommieparkin2, I was in this area today and found your cache PP2 - Ay Up Flower GC7H9GQ. I added my name to the log book at 10:48 am on 17 February 2018. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

This brings our total find count to 9230

Mr fratra was coming home from playing golf with Mr PP2 and had to drive right past this one. A completely legal u-ey was performed and after parking up 12 metres from GZ the cache was spotted. Luckily he had the required TOTT in the car and the log was soon signed.

TFTC pommieparkin2 this is find # 4033 for us.

Out again with m4yb for few more down here before our visas expire and we head north again. Nice easy find here, once I detected the correct tool. What a great way to make a highlight of these generally "Ugly" but necessary items.
Thanks for the smiley and hide PP2

Was here yesterday but did not have correct tool.
The artwork on these boxes is most welcome. Cache blends in very nicely. TFTC.

After a lovely night spent at Chez CO, we went for a drive to admire the local artwork. Megawat60 did what was required with the TOTT and I signed the log. Thanks for showing us what some clever people do!

Was out at the Australian day event, picked up the caches in the area, while there. Tftc, tfte, sl, tnln.

A big days caching was planned today with the eventual goal of turning up to the belated Australia Day event hosted by PP2 in Secret Harbour.

We set off in the morning with the intention of grabbing some puzzles we had solved and had a heap of help with, that all changed when we got notifications down for some FTFs north of the river! Managed to grab one together and I grabbed one with family Steiner and then met up again at gateways to head down to the event.

Managed to grab a well cooked snag by an adopted Aussie! Thanks PP1 for cooking a great snag. We then set off to cleanup the area of caches, managed a few finds on the newer caches released for the event and DNF a couple of others.

Did manage to nab a puzzle FTF thanks to a group find with kyzabra, who did all the hard work while we watched on

Thanks for a great day out and can't wait for the next big suburban event!

Published

On our way to today’s event with my mom ooh yeh. Excited to see some caches published and made the race there. Quick find and woohoo a blank log book. Joint FTF with Ooh Yeh at 10.41am. TFTC

*FTF* at 10.41 AM with Redlipsandunicorns
On the way to the CO,S event we stopped to grab this cache. Very surprised to find a blank log book and it was also lucky that phil was with me. Good camo job a fav point for this one TFTC pommieparkin2

Another trip out with Barnzy12 heading to the belated Australia Day event.
Another glorious day out in the sunshine and finding a range of cache types and containers, including some new custom made ones I think were fantastic.

pommieparkin2 I found your cache PP2 - Ay Up Flower thanks for placing this hide and bringing me to this area.

Pulled up and believed i spotted straight away...

TFTC..
