Over from Brisbane on work commitment. Knocked off at 5, raced to the hotel and chucked on my caching gear.A quick walk to the train station and 2 stops to glendalough and tonights caching experience began.It didnt take long until I had the cache in hand and log extracted. Made my mark and quickly returned it to its hiding place for the next lucky cacher to findOff on the next adventureA big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found by like minded individuals.Cheers
A quick find in the sort of place you would expect it to be. Coordinates had me about 8m away but it was still easy.
Found that little tiny box ... left a yellow bead and sticker ... hold you head high
TFTC. Found it with Cooldude54Fantastic cache location. Lived here in Perth a long time and never knew about this spot. Enjoyed reading the history and slang and seeing the cottage. Thank you
Whoa. That was kinda hard to find; I thought it might be a DCell type cache and be one of the bolts in the bench, but then I looked UP and there it was! It is a bit high up and took me a bit to be able to retrieve, but I got it in the end. TFTC K.C, and congrats on 35,000 finds! The screenshot is a bit outdated, but nonetheless, congrats!
Nice quick find. A larger cache than I expected. It took me a while to make the connection between the name of the road and the painting on the bus stop. Lest We Forget TFTC
Thank you! This was our very first cache and it took us a while to find but we were so excited to find it!

Thought I would try my luck even though it had two previous DNF logs.
Found easily but not magnetic or camoed as you would expect from the army! This gives me the final souvenir I needed too. Tftc. Lest We Forget.

Had a thorough look , including a couple of hiding places which fitted the description, but I think it has gone.
Out for a family commitment at the place right by it. Had a quick look, no luck... Even had a good look with the master didda_au.
While my mother had a nap this afternoon, I mounted the bicycle and set out to explore a new area, around Mt Hawthorn, and seek some geocaches in the process, but only made it to this one before the battery in my GPS expired - I will have to continue the exploration another day. This cache was a straightforward find, being in a spot obvious to geocachers, right on the coordinates. A pretty cool hiding place! Thank you .K.B. for installing and maintaining this cache.
Out and about with the SICK crew (SirFancy, I C Nothing, Cirrus_WA and Kapelula)
Cache in good condition.
This is my 2974 find.
Thank you .K.B. for placing and maintaining this cache.

Well we have lost the “M” in team Micks so for today we are team SICK - SirFancy, I C Nothing, Cirrus_wa and Kapelula. Joining forces to for a day caching seeing there is a event today. All caches found easily and in good condition. Thank you for placing.
Having not read previous logs last time we were here knew where our mistake was made and today came past to turn the blue face yellow.
Parked around the corner and walked over and grabbed the cache and had it signed before the geo-kids asked for a hint to find it and I showed them the container.

With an event on today the call went out to see who was up for a day of caching, yeses came from SirFancy, I C Nothing & Kapelula (signing as SICK) and we arrange to meet up near Cockburn around midday.
The ping of new caches this morning changed those plans and it was an earlier start down near Dwellingup.
When we got back to the city we cached around South Lake prior to heading to the event at Wireless Hill.
The late afternoon was spent north of the river completing a new lab and grabbing other caches nearby in the Yokine area.
On a longer than expected day out and about I collected 25 finds, 5 adventure labs, 1 event attended and 0 DNF’s.

Was in the area today, and noted this cache while at the nearby park. As it seemed appropriate to find today, I insisted the muggle man deliver me to said GZ, which we both enjoyed once at location. It's not often you find such a well themed bus shelter. The potential locations for the hide was limited by the structure and the given instructions which meant it wasn't long before we had what we (ok, I) has come for, had paid our respects to the fallen, and were on our way. Many Thanks for the themed hide, appropriate for the day .K.B
Unfortunately I was unable to locate this cache today. I will add it to my list and hopefully return soon to claim the prize.
Followed the instructions to the letter a couple of times and tried using the camera to check out where the cache should be but for us today it was not to be.

Given the clues and photo I reckon it’s gone walkabouts.
Unfortunately I did not find it today, I’ll be sure to visit again for another attempt.
Thank you .K.B. for the challenge.

Sorry. I haven’t stopped to check whether I can extract the cache but have a replacement ready. Just keep forgetting to stop on my way to or from work.
