TFTC great camo this deserves a favorite point thanks for the cache

Found it. TFTC Spotandpatch. Happy to make a find here rather quickly. This is one butterfly that will soon be extinct. Replaced as found.

Went in with the wrong strategy, re-read the description and it was exactly in the place I had dismissed early into the search! Thanks for the cache!

Well disguised. TFTC

Took awhile to find this cache. Very crafty and blended in nicely to its host. All good here. FP for your efforts. Love that the wildflowers are starting to bloom in this area

Totally not what I was expecting here. In hindsight, I should have trusted my gut. Have a FP.

Signed log as had no pen in previous visit

Took a bit of searching for this one but after doubling back Krissy_94 found it. TFTC

Found. Log in good condition.

Appreciated the butterfly facts. Great and frustrating cache. Love it

Really cool spot,don't give up on this one like I almost did

Found while out walking clever hide will come back and sign log another day as didn’t have apen

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 took us quite a while but happy to eventually make a find of this namesake cache... Thank you for the great hide Spotandpatch, a favourite!

Thank you! Headed out to find some caches with papillon367 as we were wanting to meet the current challenge. Spent a fair bit of time here. I was ready to give up but papillon367 eventually found it in a spot I already looked.

I can't believe how lucky I was here. It took me longer to dodge the spider webs than it did to find the cache. It was surprisingly the first thing I looked at. Go me! TFTC Awesome camo... again!

All replaced

Taken home to sort a new log. Hope to be back up and running by July 18

Nice little camo definitely not what I expected!! Log was drenched so here is a photo as I couldn’t sign it.

Tftc

A lovely cache that hasn’t weathered well. Zip log bag torn, and log drenched. Photo log. It’s so easy, it’s hard!
TFTH

Tricky little sucker this one. I might of had to PAF here. Great cammo, so another fav point coming your way. thanks Spotandpatch

Yeh nah that wasn’t what I expected at all. Tough extraction but signed and returned

Out testing a new hide and decided to clean up a few local caches while I was at it.

After a lengthy, fruitless search, I decided to go back and look at something that I probably dismissed initially. It was only then that I located what I was searching for! Cheers Spotandpatch!

Chaos theory got me there in the end. TFTC.

Quick find with some lateral thinking. Log is a little brittle but OK for the time being. Signed and replaced. Interesting camo as always. Thanks S and P!

third time lucky.
after getting a little hint from the co i finaly made a find .
Interesting Papillon but definetly one
Thanks for the cache

Was about to give up but luckily read other activity.
Me too, I dismissed it at first.
Very clever

No luck on this one!

TFTC unfortunately couldn’t get the log out. Wish I read up on this cache before coming

Find out pretty quick using luck more than anything else

Another very crafty hide here TFTC

Luckily that was a quick find as I can imagine it could have taken a while. It took me longer to extract the log than to find it. Had to replace baggie as I ripped it pulling it free.
Good little hide, thank you

Luckily a nice quick find here.

TFTC

Another conquest for Me&B.

Papillon this one would have flown in its day - very clever cache description - TFTC

Papillon, papillon, papillon - surely not?! It was. Bit hard to get to, but the log is signed and returned. Thanks for the cache and the walk. It is always nicer, when there is a smiley at the end

Replaced log and container; hopefully s/he remains dry and relatively easy to extract.

The log is soggy wet and needs replacing! Certainly wasn’t expecting to find it where it is! Tftc

Nope

Walked round and round inspecting every log and grass tree. A pleasant surprise when I finally found it. Thanks S&P.

Nice

Nice one

Nice

Thanks

Found with Camanda. Took a little bit. 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 8644 and the 19th of 29 finds for the day.

Had a failed attempt on the FTF for this one when it first published and came back today for another go. Lots of logs suggesting the description should be read properly so I did just that on approach. Arrived at GZ and spotted something that must be the cache and I was right. Very clever. Glad to turn the frown upside-down, awarding a favourite.

Spotandpatch I found your cache at 12:53pm, this was the 3rd of 5 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 5816. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

No luck today

Gave up

Sad to say DNF, will return another day

After arriving at GZ and not turning up anything I had a read of the description and in the write up something stood out to me and I turned up a damp log not long after, I dried everything as much as I could and replaced as found.

Thanks Spotandpatch for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1459 for me.

Unexpected as the host could be moved around and off coordinates too easily

A bit different!

Chwiliwr took me and the family out on a hot walk to collect the two caches he hadn't done in the area and for us to find the ones that he had already done before.

Cache found without problems.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks Spotandpatch for the cache.

Grandad took the family out on a hot walk to collect the two caches he hadn't done in the area and for us to find the ones that he had done before.

Cache found without problems.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks Spotandpatch for the cache.

Next time I’ll follow my instinct, it would have been a quicker find Tft

Nice use of available resources; found via bike. Thank you Spotandpatch

Found Papillon on my way to event ChrisRG's 10th Anniversary. SL TFTH, Spotandpatch.

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

Continued our walk and made a quick find here

Spotandpatch, Kyzabra found your cache Papillon, on 25/11/18. Happy to add my name to the log sheet.
Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

I teamed up with Kyzabra today to chase down a few caches around the Cockburn/Coogee area and after sorting out which caches to target we set off to add our names to a few of the log books in those areas. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Spotandpatch, I was in this area today and found your cache Papillon GC7TG3Z. I added my name to the log book at 8:36 am on 25 November 2018. 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 10164. Woohoo!!

Coordinates were good and the clue made great sense once I spotted the item.
Good cammo and well made.
Thanks

Loved this one and it's meaning.
TFTC Spotandpatch this is find # 5255 for us.

Enjoying the sun with a Quick lunch time walk with the added bonus of a couple of caches along the way

tftc

Quick find TFTH

Clever hide I dismissed it at first (which I know you should never do in caching) but eventually went back to the host to make the find. Tfth

I arrived and knowing CO's thinking I was going to be here a while. 10mins and after reading the description I knew what I was looking for. 10 more mins and finally I had the light bulb moment and realised I had been on the wrong track. Well played. TFTC.

No joy early, but a check of the logs and some left field thinking yielded results. Nice idea that challenged the conventional and therefore worthy of a favourite. TFTC Spotandpatch.

Thought my high school French may have come in handy here but no such luck. finally took the trouble to read the lengthy cache description and had our attention refocused in an entirely new direction. After that, its all history. Muggle husband is claiming credit and as its his birthday today, who am I to argue. TFTC, spotandpatch.

Find 14 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.

Not expecting that, but it was found quickly where it should be and all was in order.

TFTC Spotandpatch!

Not at all what I expected. Tftc

Good one spot and patch. Overlooked this numerous times but once gps settled there was no mistaking it. Good effort. Tftc

Decided to go and find the new caches in the area while the weather is fine, something different. TFTH Spotandpatch SL.

A quick sprint up to this one and soon uncovered something that looked a little odd. The name makes perfect sense now. I think I worked on this type in my younger days. Oh what a feeling!
TFTC Spotandpatch

Not at all what I was expecting. Having leant my lesson in not reading the info on one of your previous hides, I read it all on this listing. I was certain i would find a butterfly and I guess I did. Took some time to extract the log. Thanks for the hide.

That's a good one. I have always loved butterflies. TFTC spotandpatch

It's great to meet other cachers out and about..returned to have another crack at this one..great camo and v sneaky..another fav for me..tftc

Really enjoying your caches spotandpatch. Some very nifty camos.

Out and about with B12 TFTH

Came out for a walk to do these newer caches in the area plus a couple of older ones. Was lucky and had a break between the heavier showers so was relatively dry for the whole walk.

Was using the tablet only today as the GPS wasn't going so well.

Had to trust caching instinct as the water was affecting the signals and the tablet wasn't giving very stable GPS coordinates and wandering all over the place.

Cache was eventually found. Log was signed and cache returned as found.

Interesting hide here.

Thanks Spotandpatch for the cache.

Woke this morning to see that a few new publications came through last night. Not having got my FTF for this month yet I thought I'd have a crack at a couple around the Bibra Lake area.

Rummaged around in the dark here for about ten minutes but couldn't locate the container. Should've brought a bigger torch.

Spotandpatch I couldn't find your cache, this was my 1st DNF for the day. I did have 1 finds today so all is not lost.

TFTH

0 for 2..but will return

.*FTF* at 7.50am
This one had us searching for ages. I think it was 45 minutes till we finally located a very sneaky well camo,d cache that I don't think will get muggled in a hurry lol....Well worth a fav point TFTC spotandpatch
