We had just found two adventure labs in the nearby reserve when TaurusSix suggests its time for another normal cache. A quick scan of the map shows one not too far away.We drive and manage to park in the nearby car park, but in the farthest spot possible. This just presented an opportunity to get a few more steps in for the day. At GZ it we did a lap around and had not spotted the cache. We consulted the cache listing again in case we missed some key piece of information. No. Around we start again and this time we spot a unusual arrangement. Underneath we find the cache, but not the container we had in mind. The log was marked with our symbols and all was put back as it was found. Our thank we send to J2V for thinking to hide a cache in this place for use to find.

This huge park and of course, near almost every cache, muggles were sitting. A muggle was on the bench too focused on the kookaburra at his feet to notice me. Took a lap before I found it. This one can have a fav for the series. TFTC

I remember being here once before and not having any luck and I come here again and I can't for the life of me find where this cache is located on the tree.
I look all over and stick my hand in holes for nothing.
Somebody please send a helpful dm for something so simple

19-Mar-22
SIC team ( Sir Fancy , I c nothing, cirrus_wa) are out again for another day of caching . All caches found and in good condition.
 
19-Mar-22
Got spun around a little bit when we first got out of the car and headed to the wrong hide potential, once things had settled we noticed the error in our location and headed to where we needed to be.
SirFancy spied the cache after a couple of minutes and we were back on our way.
• • • • •

A clear and cooler day was highlighted by meeting up with SirFancy, I C Nothing & a couple of junior cachers for some fun running around North Perth & Floreat.
Our main target for the day was to complete the new Commonwealth Games Lab and while we were in the area grabbing whatever finds we could get our hands on.
It was fun excursion NOR and I’m pleased to have finished today with 9 finds, 5 Adventure Labs and 1 DNF.

A quick find today, whilst out walking with Tex the kelpie. Thanks for the cache
 
25-Dec-21
Headed over here for a Christmas Day walk - a very hot day to be here but I do like to escape the Christmas hustle & bustle for an hour or two and the unfound caches here made this an appealing destination Smile Unsurprisingly given the day (and the heat!) there was hardly anyone else here - another bonus Smile Most caches were nice easy finds which was much appreciated; the only one to cause trouble was the Boardwalk which lives to fight another day Smile I took the comment about this one being attached to a 1962 era host too literally and went walking straight past GZ looking for a piece of infrastructure... soon realised my error and relocated to find the right host! TFTC
 
18-Dec-21
TFTC. Nice and easy for the grandkids.
 
06-Dec-21
Carpark closeby has had a revamp but all is well here with the cache. Nice spot.
 
30-Nov-21
Thought I had the right tree and after careful investigation I was right. Relatively quiet here this evening… only cars passing by and 2 dog owners and one jogger passed while I was discreetly doing signing duties. I’m sure they were wondering where I appeared from as I came out.
