A very cleverly made and hidden cache, nicely done spotandpatch. My younger caching companions enjoyed finding this one, though crossing the road is a little nerve wracking. TFTC -lathiat, Sophie & Zoe
Public holiday caching with the crew today after the local Cito event. Cache found with no issues and signed. Cheers
So we crossed the road to continue our adventure on foot, we knew this one might be tricky and were not dissapointed. Pazza actually thought he had it figured out instantly but did not investigate enough so moved away to other search areas before deciding to come back and investigate properly.....the 2nd time round it practically jumped out at him. Very sneaky.Thank you Spotandpatch for placing and maintaining Cockburn Wetlands for us and others to find and enjoy!
Genius! Now I understand why there are so many fav points for this cache. Took me ages because my GPS was jumpy. GPS initially led me closer to the road but I trusted my instincts and made the find. Fav point from me TFTC
Found it today with _DaughtersofEve_. Awesome camo, never seen anything like it! This is my 761st find, TFTC!
Ullyssia and I teamed up for a trip South of the river on our quest for the "seeking smileys" third souvenir. We were both about half way at the start of the day and made really good progress. Fortunately we were prepared for wet weather! Lots of interesting caches in this area, we will definitely be coming back...
This one dropped at our feet when we didn't expect it! Thank you for the cache Spotandpatch.

Thank you! Headed out to find some caches with papillon367 as we were wanting to meet the current challenge. This one was found after a short search.
Brilliant... love it! Well done for an awesome hide. Fave point coming your way. TFTC
Happy to turned this one into a happy face, it ended up being a really quick find! Thanks for take care of this cache!
I’ve seen few of this caches before, If this one was where i think it’d be, is not there anymore
Out for a Christmas afternoon drive and had a look for a park and grab.
Didn’t trust the compass at first and wandered to all the wrong places.
Decided to do some investigating at 0m and found the well crafted and concealed cache, have a favourite.
Thanks Spotandpatch for placing Cockburn Wetlands for me and others to find.

Day 2 of caching around Perth. The targets today were some pole caches, some challenge caches and some of the brilliant high favourite point caches placed by . I can see why these caches have so many favourites. Some I found. Some I didn’t. Some I abandoned early on as I had no idea. Thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for my enjoyment.

Having seen a cache like this before I found it fairly quickly. Very clever design.

Out for a night time run down to Byford for new caches and labs with the Cockburn Crew.
Stopped in on the way down to our rendezvous location. Great cache. Glad to clear the DNF here. Add fav. Cheers Spotandpatch!

Ingenious! Pretty fast find. I spent a few minutes looking in alternative hosts and then spotted it. Fave from me for originality. Thanks Spotandpatch
G’day Spotandpatch, unfortunately I wasn’t able to find your cache today (Saturday 26/3/2022). Cheers for the hunt anyway!
Feel like I found where a cache might have been, but no dice.

Checked in here this morning but didn’t need to as all’s well. At least we’ve made a new one in case it’s lost in future. Nice walk nonetheless.
Out and about doing some rare suburban caching with ILT on a glorious dayThanks spot andpatch
This was a great hide. Found it pretty quick mostly out of luck and a lack of other hosts around the area. The hint no doubt saved a bit of time as well. geo-wife had trouble retrieving which is usually her specialty so handed it over and had the log out in one swift movement. Signed and pack back as found. TFTC!
This one had me walking in circles for a while until the gps settled. Finally got it!
Found it. TFTC Spotandpatch. Not an easy find but there was not much t choose from. Nice hide.
What a great hide. Once the compass settle down it was a very quick find thanks
So glad the coordinates were spot on. Would have taken forever, but relied on the coords and bingo, came up trumps almost instantly. Sneaky hide, but didn't fool us. Tftc!
Very few options here, had us stumped momentarily. Very clever, well done.
Thanks for the fun hide

Just finished a game of golf and decided to collect a few on the way to visit my grandma in Fiona Stanley. Nicely hidden, haven’t seen this type yet but will be on the lookout in the future. TFTC
Out in Bibra Lake today to pick up some caches, very well hidden and constructed this one TFTC
Hi there Spotandpatch. TRR paired up with Mistraluna today and while out on the road we found this cache after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to Spotandpatch for this cache - our find 8649 and the 24th of 29 finds for the day.
Out for a long-overdue - but very enjoyable - early morning walk around Bibra Lake. Parked up by the impressive playground along Progress Road, grabbed a coffee from the handy catering truck nearby then headed off in a clockwise direction around the lake, picking up the various caches along the way Over the next few hours I bagged 17 caches and 1 DNF. I crossed back over the road again to GZ and then had a scratch around in a few places without any luck. Then I realised something looked a little unusual and bingo soon had the cache in hand Very sneaky; a fave point for the unique hide Very satisfying when I spotted it - TFTC
Put with a bunch of kids new to geocaching. They thought this a tricky hide. Tftc
Instantly spotted something unusual and soon a very unusual log appeared.
Interesting and log is full. TFTC

Found with Rainbow Scjaz, AKC124 and geokid Z after a day at Adventure World. Took us a while lol awarded a favourite point for trickiness tftc
Another day, another expedition. Today we are SOR-bound by Transperth on the way to BRF’s event in Bibra Lake. Then riding the geobikes from Murdoch train station, with a few caches on the way. A FP for this clever one, TFTC.
Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
She’s on fire but after actually reading the description it started to make more sense. Phone GZ was a bit wonky. Worth a fav from me.
Thanks for the hide and Spotandpatchteam.

Our caching list for the day, along with ilook4geo, held an interesting assortment, as it included some challenges, a couple of virtuals, as well as some traditional caches. All the caches with logs were duly signed. This was an easy cache for us to find, as the co-ords are good and we have found simiar hides before. It is one of the more interesting types of hides. The log was signed and we were soon on the move again.
Many thanks go to Spotandpatch for placing this cache so we could add another smilie to our total.

This was a nice easy find while out caching with goingplaces2 today. Both names noted on the log. All was replaced as found. Enjoyed finding this one and getting another smiley. TFTC.
After a hectic day riding water slides and roller coasters we decided a bit of night caching on the way home was the way to go, another crafty cache here that’s brilliantly executed TFTC
I luck here today. God had me all over the place and no luck despite previous logs and the descriptions
Day 227 of our 366 day straight challenge.
Had a scouting event nearby and thought I'd grab this one on the way home. Very cool hide, definitely something I haven't seen before. TFTC and a fav from us.

It’s been a while since Jinta29 and I have been out for a caching trip. A text, a phone call, and a plan. We decided to head north from home and pick up a few caches that we both had overlooked over time. . This was one
Another coolnhide and another fav point.

Walked around for while trying to find this one. Looked at the obvious objects and was finally about to give up when I spotted something not right and found the cache. Very creative and original. Tftc
These Spotandpatch caches have been on my to-do list for a while now and was glad to be able to tackle them today. Seems we have another quality hider south of the river, those Northerners must be soooo jealous. Moved the car a couple of times to amass 11 smilies for the day.
This was the first stop and I parked up very close to GZ, was beginning my search when another car arrived and parked up even closer to GZ. I thought they had to be cachers but they just sat in their car, I observed them for few minutes and decided that I'd have to come back. Got back in my car only for them to get out and walk back up the other side of the road, yippee, I could get back to business.
Took several minutes before I finally checked the right object and was blown away by the well assembled original cache construction. Been at this for a while now and it's the first time I've seen something like this. Awarding a favourite.
Spotandpatch I found your cache at 11:43am, this was the 1st of 11 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 4866. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Went geocaching this afternoon in Beeliar regional park. Found 11 out of 12, with a couple of favs. This was the first one I found. A clever cache thank Spotandpatch.
Find 6 of 17, with no DNFs for a change. on an interesting bike ride around the wetlands on some often sandy tracks. With the recent rain it was all rideable but sometimes hard yakka. Our entertainment today was mostly sponsored by spotandpatch who have constructed and maintained some excellent caches.
Very cleverly placed but a quick find.
TFTC Spotandpatch!
