We came to find this one a VERY long time ago with no luck. Today we spotted it before we even hopped out of the car!
Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache. A quick run with the geodog between thunderstorms today. Partial lockdown continuing and caching in a mask .
Great to see a larger size cache in the burbs.
Great to see a larger size cache in the burbs.
Had an appointment nearby, and searching out a quick and simple find nearby this one stood out - plenty of clear instructions in the description and previous logs to avoid loitering and make this essentially a park and grab. No turtle tb inside and I didn't have any others to trip, so TNLN. Thanks for the good sized hide here Westbourne Wonderers!
Stopped in here between doing some labs and a virtual. Rummaged around for a few minutes at the wrong address. A read of some logs and turns out I should've been next door. actually spotted it from the footpath for an easy grab in the end.
Westbourne Wonderers I found your cache at 12:27pm, this was the 4th of 6 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 6791. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Beautiful area, loved seeing such amazing homes. Felt a whole lot more comfortable when I saw it was your private property though! Thanks for the fun ️
Ooh didn't like this one! Not a comfortable feeling. I read previous logs thank goodness and they put me at the right house.....No.85! Quick find though the inside is a little damp. TFTC
Very awkward feeling indeed!
Found... But not before suspiciously scratching around in an incorrect area that my GPS led me to on the opposite side of the driveway and opening a reticulation box through the fence of the neighbouring property.

Another Sunday morning caching run NOR. We woke up early and headed away early to clear a few of the I found caches in this part of town. Cheers and TFTC.

Too much of a challenge retrieving between muggles (or the CO based on the description).
I'll aim to return at a quieter time.

We will make sure the container is fully waterproof, it is still there to find.
Lovely easy find, though everything inside was very waterlogged. Found a trackable (will clean it up before sending on its way) and left something in a ziplock so it won't get ruined and will be fun for the next to find! Happy caching!!!
A fun find when avoiding muggles! Had a bit of water in it so we emptied it out TFTC!
Got there pretty quickly thanks to a previous log. Drained water from container but log all good.
Found it with the help of comments. Although Not entirely comfortable rummaging through someone’s front yard for a cache,
Dropped a TB here that wants to travel to China! Not sure that will happen for awhile due to COVID19 but decided it was time to move on. Grabbed a TB from here that was beginning to rust. Added a moisture sachet to the cache log which may help future drops. Tftc.
Hello!! Checked it last Monday and didn’t find yet. Let us know when the hotel is ready for it’s guests as we have a travel bug that wants to move! As there are so many micros around we are having a bit of trouble to pass him on!
Just fixing cache as it was waterlogged, should be all okay by Monday.
We’re not usually big fans of caches in residential areas but this one is obviously ok with all involved. Cool cache with swag for kids. TFTC
Yeah look, not a fan of caches out the front of people’s houses... for the exact reason that I went up to the wrong house and began searching their bushes!! Quickly moved to the right location and found the cache. It’s next to the letterbox of #85.
G’day Westbourne Wonderers, I found your cache today (Sunday 16/2/20 at 11:47). Cheers for the hunt!

A nice quick fi did a good size cache before the heat sets in. Log is slightly damp but still signable. Took two TBs with me in the hope of putting them somewhere in Canberra once Summernats has done its worst and I can afford to hire a car and venture further afield.
A nice quick and easy stopover in Perth. Great idea having a good central place for trackables!
Thank you
Thank you
As was said in an earlier log..hit should be more specific " behind shrub and number ** " poking around at the wrong address could land you in a "please explain" situation.
I took the 2 trackable items while here and will move them along.
Thanks for the Inner suburban TB hotel.

Generally avoid caches on private property, but chasing clues made for an exception. Wasn't getting anywhere until I changed sides of the driveway and thence made a simple find. TNLN TFTC Westbourne Wonderers.
As suggested, we used a lot of stealth to find this cache...
Although there is a long list of TBs noted as being in the cache, there was only there when we visited, and we have that one with us.
Thanks Westbourne Wonderers.

I was in the area today picking up some caches and stopped off here while on my travels I did think I might see the CO as a car was on the drive with the bonnet up when I arrived... but no-one seen. Container was a very quick find, even though it blends it well in its little spot The listed bugs have been removed, however I dropped off a lovely amethyst TB which I picked up at WAGB19 in Northam. No problems here today, all very quiet and a nice easy find TFTC
Dropped off a package of travel bugs (1 mine and 6 from another TB hotel in Yanchep) to be picked up shortly and taken to Europe by another local cacher.
Thanks for the suburban cache, awesome find! Thanks for the good luck little bugs!

Me and my dad started confused then I saw the container! Thanks for the challenge!
Sat in the car and surveyed the area. Pinpointed where we thought it might be, swooped in and found it the first place we looked.
TFTC Westbourne Wonderers this is find # 6152 for us.

Find 17 of 18 with one DNF on a pleasant bike ride around Yokine, Mount Hawthorn, Coolbinia and surrounds.
In the wrong spot initially then read a previous log which was most helpful! Might have taken a while otherwise. All in good nick inside the TB hotel, but then as the description says, doing a maintenance run isn't that taxing! Took the only TB we could find and left the path tag for someone else as we have GHFB's already.

Hi there Westbourne Wonderers. I had some time to spare after dropping off SWMBO and her son at RPH for an appointment, so what better than to do some local caching. I did have to come this far since PCC charges for parking. The container and log are in good condition - SL. Thanks to Westbourne Wonderers for this cache.
Found it quick after reading the hint and logsp. Thank you for the tb hotel and best regards from a swiss visitor.

We stopped off at this one while in the area on a different mission, and was a little apprehensive when i saw where it was . I decided to read through the description and the logs, and was pleased to that the cache was indeed placed at the CO resisdence .
With new found enthusiasm, i walked up to GZ, stuck my hand in ‘there’ and retrieved the cache .. woohoo!
I retreated back to the car with the cache and did the deed. I also took 1TB and left 2 others.

On holidays in Perth with family and grabbing a few caches when an opportunity rises. This cache took some time as I focused on the wrong spot. Swapped TBs Thanks to Westbourne Wonderers for the placement and fun.
Yeeehaaaaaa!!!!! Found it. A nice quick find to end the day. We also took out a travel bug to help it on its way. Thanks for the cache.
tftc sl. great to have a TB safe house drop point. picked up a bunch of tb's to take for a walk.
Can't say I've ever found a cache so close to someone's house before, so that's a first! TFTC
We were in the area today and stopped by to drop off a coin that has been tracking me for the last 6 months. Think I picked it up in GC headquarters so it has done a few ks. Goof sized travel bug hostel. Thanks for providing it. Decided not to take any today. Tftc
Suscoe had a delightful Sunday morning caching in and around the north Perth area.
Beautiful sunshine, a good collection of caches and not much traffic.
And even better hardly any muggle folks out walking or doing doggie activities.
Peaceful and easy to get to caches.
Thanks to the Westbourne Wonderers for this TB motel.
A few travellers waiting to head off but we left them here today.

Found it. We're not very good at being sneaky though. Very exciting and got our first travel bug
Very good hide! Pretty sure the cache placer walked by us trying not to laugh at our failure but we got it in the end!
Thanks for the cache Found on international Geocaching Day. Needed to drop off this little smurf
GREAT CACHE awesome set inside took a trackable and also good spot to place it also

Found with tassie expat. Just be mindful of parking as road is narrow and near a crest. Tftc
A quick find. Hope neighbour with dog know what's going on lol Took one, left one TFTC and safe haven.
A nice quick find this evening. We had another go a few weeks ago, but no joy. A speedy find thanks to a helpful hint from the CO.
Our 5 caches (3 from the UK) have now been dropped off and we've picked up another 3 to take them on their way.
Unfortunately the Fire cache wasn't in the cache though.
Thanks for TB hotel. No doubt we'll be back again when we have more TBs to drop off.
