Gorgeous sunny day to retrieve this at my leisure. Great cache. TFTC

Hadnt realised what sort of cache this was (even though its all in the title), and on approach noticed something sticking out the bottom! Presuming this was the cache I tried to wiggle it out..unsuccessfully. Thanks to my phone torch I saw what I had to do. Back to the car for a TOTT and after a bit of fishing, finally retrieved the 'part 1' !! Rather surprised that it wasnt the cache. Another look around revealed the prize! Very clever concept and a fave point. TFTC

Awesome hide thanks! Loved the fishing too! Tftc

A maintenance check was conducted on Saturday 16/3/2024.The following actions were undertaken:* Got the fishing rod unstuck* Replaced zip lock bag.

Caught a big one today with the help of the kids.

Couldnt get the rod - seemed stuck.

A proactive maintenance check was conducted on Sunday 12/11/2023. The cache and logbook were found to be in working order.

Went fishing good cache

Nice

Very cool thanks

Kid support came in handy!

Thanks for an interesting cache hide.

SA’s Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Can’t wait!!

Full time nomads since February 2014, here to visit family.

Mr Felix headed out with SpatialRiq and TheMachman for a days caching. The plan was hatched for a duck run but of course they just couldn't go past all those other caches!

A fun day out with friends, long time between caching runs together. Loved your work here.

TFTC Lachlan1.77

Out and about with Felix ll and Spatial Riq, grabbing a few caches SOR, nice walk round the park, GZ found quickly but took a while to catch the fish !!! TFTC

Out on another Duck hunting day with The Machman and FelixII.
Found the tool quickly then the cache. Took a good 5min of trying before success. Have a fav point. TFTC

Loved it. Nice to be able to park and blend in with the work van. Thanks.

Way less stress than expected!

Cool thanks

What a catch indeed TFTC FP coming your way

Cool quick find! Have an FP. Number 640 for me.

Found very quickly but it took a few casts before I got a bite. SL TFTC and a FP

All my days of beach fishing paid off.
Well done great idea
TFTC

couldn't find it, went around the whole area but nothing there

had fun fishing

G’day, I visited this cache on Friday 30/12/2022 and conducted a proactive maintenance check.

The cache and logbook were in working order.

Quick and easy find. Nice container, hardest part was opening the lid, nearly gave up.

TFTC!

TFTC! Cool idea

Great cache! Love the decoration! TFTF!

Great hide Nice quick find TFTC

Caught it - a novel hiding method - well done - TFTC

Quick find but got bitten but ants while extracting the cache. Signed and returned as found. Tftc

Out with Meme28 today collecting some caches before the AGM. All caches found in good condition. Thanks for placing for our enjoyment.

ICNothing and I cruised around the area picking up smilies. Logged and replaced as found. FP for the fun

Great fun cache. Found after putting my thinking cap on TFTC

Hey, nice

Had a chat as we were driving around to this cache about what we thought we would be up against, the terrain not matching our discussions we were intrigued as what the challenge would be.
Once at GZ things fell into place quickly and after a bit of team work to retrieve the provided tool (it had fallen off its perch) I was angling for the find and after a couple of dropped hooks I managed to land the container into hand.
With signing completed we made sure to get everything back as intended and headed on our way.
A brilliant cache and experience well deserving of favourite.

With the new months souvenir challenge starting SirFancy and I decided to head up to the Applecross and Myaree areas to tackle some of the caches from Lachlan1.77 & duck43.
We grabbed others that we passed along the way and had a great night out finding some of the best caches available in the Perth metro area, lots of favourite points added along the way too.
At the end of a much later than usual night out and about we finished up with 12 finds & 1 DNF and 5 labs completed.

Thanks Lachlan1.77 for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 3259 for me.

I love it.




This is my 793 find.
Thank you Lachlan1.77 for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!

Little A was having training with the school Staat team .
This has given me the opportunity to find a cache or two
Tftc

Caught it hook, line and sinker. Great cache

Well no muggle today, I did my little bit of fishing and hook one, a nice big one at that. TFTH SL.

Proactive Maintenance Check

Cache Condition:Excellent
Log Condition: Quarter Full
Additional Comments: Dropped by on my evening lockdown walk. All is well!

Fun find early on Easter Monday morning TFTC

OMG thats the best hide I have seen yet!
Loved it, thanks

Awesome hide!!! Heaps of fun!!! Cache in good order. Signed log and put back as I found. Favourite point awarded!!

Dude that was seriously good fun. Just when you thought you’d seen it all. TFTC

Really loved this one. Well thought out. Great coords and cache. Definitely a fave. Thanks for the excellent cache

Fantastic cache, definitely worth a favourite. Tftc

Another brilliant Lachlan creation! No muggle activity in the park, so could fish without any audience. A favourite of course.

Amazing cache. Tftc

With iluvtrekking for the day - we enjoyed and signed the log. [^]

Thanks Lachlan1.77 for the cache and hide place. [^][^]
Wow excellent and neat job... Fav from me

Out and about with Everlasting today dodging the showers.
Most finds for today were courtesy of Lachlan1.77.
Fantastic hide, thanks.

This is cool.

My gps took me walkabout for this one, so I had to use my geosense.

I overlooked something that could have been helpful to get to the log a bit quicker, but managed to finally get my hands on it nonetheless.

Have another fave point to add to the pile. TFTC!

Tftc good hide

Loved this! All replaced as found tftc

Was here for a Valentine’s Day Hash run with Friday hash house harriers. Great cache!! TFTC

Will make this cache a non premium cache again. Please be wary of muggles throughout the Winter soccer season however. Thanks.

Out for a morning ride at the start of the 3 2 1 souvenir challenge. Arrived at GZ and spotted something straight away. I thought 'that was easy' then I looked at what I had found. Mmmm there is more to this one. I eventually managed to hook my fish and reel it in. It was wet on the outside but the contents were nice and dry.
A favourite from me
TFTC Lachlan1.77

Very cute cache! Nice artistic skills Lachlan
I didn’t need to get the rod for this one, I used my torch to locate the cache (and possibly any nasties) then reached in.
Very tricky with so many muggles walking dogs and cars going by, endless!
Thank you for this fun hide

Novel! And a quick one for me on the way to the airport. Thanks.

Interesting. Tftc

Proactive maintenance check this morning. All is well here.

Discovered TB.

This is a great cache!! Tftc!

Good hide

Love it! Despite the warnings I did find this while attending the daughters Sunday soccer match but not to stress, all the players and parents were focused elsewhere. Have a fave. Left a TB. TFTC Lachlan1.77

Cache tool has been repaired and is back in place. Happy caching!

Tool has been found in a broken state, replaced incorrectly. My friend has taken it in and will see if it's possible to do some temporary repairs to the tool.

Found the tool quite quickly, getting the actual cache took some time with muggles and traffic. Returned cache and took as found TFTC

My maintainer (while I am in Japan) dropped by to replace the log and return the 'tool' so that is it back in place correctly. The 'tool' will be muggled by the council workers if it is returned incorrectly, as it will be visible! I won't be able to replace the tool until August and don't want to disable the cache for long periods of time.

**PLEASE RETURN THE FISHING ROD AS PER THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ROD!**

This was a quick find this morning and I left the tool in exactly the same way as I found it. However, when I came to logging this cache an hour later I realised that the tool must have been returned wrongly last time and now I realise how it should have been left. Too late for me to return to fix it. There was no cache sheet so I found a bit of paper in my tool bag on my bike and tried to sign it. It's paper that is very hard to write on. Next cacher might like to bring some better paper, and return the tool to its rightful position (using the hook I presume). Thanks for the cache Lachlan1.77.

Cool one, but only a pen inside

Good to go again. Happy caching.

Tool has gone missing. Need to buy and fix up a new one. Will also use the opportunity to remove the cache and give it some fresh paint work before I go away.

Us crazy people decided to head out caching on a 40 degree day....so we were praying for quick finds
What an awesome cache!!!! added a favourite point here. Absolutely loved it, wish we had our older kids with us as they would have loved it too! Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

What a rippa! Great set up and a fave from us!

We were up and about early this morning so decided to head to this area and grab a few I found caches! Following the GPS from cache to cache we enjoyed our time around here today! Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Lachlan1.77, I was in this area today and found your cache What a catch! GC7WE67. I added my name to the log book at 9:51 am on 13 January 2019. 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 10286. Woohoo!!

The Better Half and I were on our way to the West OZ AGM but was early for it so called in to find this cache on the way. Found the cache without any problems.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks for the cache.

(Catching up on some very late logs)

Chwiliwr and I were on our way to the West OZ AGM but was early for it so called in to find this cache on the way. Found the cache without any problems.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks Lachlan1.77 for the cache.

(Catching up on some missed logs)

Love this one!!!! A fantastic idea, very interesting to find. Out of favourites at the moment, unfortunately. Thank you

A great hide and a fantastic cache to enter the new year in. Potentially my last in WA as the family and I move to Melbourne permanently after visiting family for Xmas. TFTC Lachlan.

Nice cache

Tftc

Nice easy find! Great cache container and idea

TFTC

In the area and spotted this one.

A very cool cache which I will bring my youngest back to try as well.

A fav point from me.

Lachlan1.77, Kyzabra found your cache What a catch!, on 21/11/18. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

This was so much fun, I loved the opportunity to go fishing!

Geodaughter loved this hide TFTH

Checked on cache after heads up it may have been replaced incorrectly. All is well.

Happy caching!

Loved this one! TFTC.

A fun cache. Great for introducing a non cacher to the game.
Thanks for the effort.

Nice and quiet here early on Saturday morning so we were able to make a quick find of this great cache. Have a fave.
TFTC Lachlan1.77 this is find # 5195 for us.

Out and about today picking up a few smilies here and there. This wasn't what I was expecting at all. The grounds were devoid of any activity so it was a nice easy find once at GZ. A very clever idea, awarding a favourite.

Lachlan1.77 I found your cache at 2:11pm, this was the 6th of 7 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 4890. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Nice one, worth a favourite. TFTC lachlan1.77

I had plenty of time this morning, so I continued to this hide before heading towards Freo and up to work. I found the tool before the cache but I didn't need it. I wrangled the cache bare handed; well, I was wearing a long cycling glove as protection in case they were biting. Advantage of having little limbs. Thanks for the clever hide. Another favourite from me more for your accuracy of coordinates than anything else. I have had 1m reading on all three of your hides over the past 2 days which always makes for pleasant caching.

Good one. Very exposed but nice cache. Tftc

Felt just a wee bit exposed here but luckily it was a fairly quick park and grab and given the afternoon was looking just a tad bleak it made the area fairly sparse in terms of muggles and the log could be entered without too much attention. Thanks for a great effort here. All's holding up well with the cache. Thanks Lachlan1.77.

Great cache, loved the concept! FP added

I have been working on something similiar. Great cache and good one for the kids. TFTC.

Out cleaning up a few more of those green boxes on the map and turning them into smiley faces. Only had time for a few as the dog was at grooming and had to be picked up. Managed to find the ones I was looking for without getting wet. A quick find of this nvel cache a fav point for this one TFTC Lachlan1.77

Nice and simple.cache and log in good condition tftc
