Thanks for this fun and simple cache

Cache was a little water logged, could do with some maintenance. The cache spot itself is a little odd, plenty of cool places to explore around here though.

I was playing tennis nearby and had 15 mins up my sleeve, so walked over to this one to make a find.
Tftc.

Didn’t take long easy find

Finally we have had a win today! TFTC.

After enjoying the sundowner nearby we stopped by here before heading home. While the muggle man checked out the nearby facilities I buzzed over to GZ where, using a couple of key hints in the manual, a quick find was made. Thanks for the cache ____akluger

Return visit and found without bother close to edge. Tftc

We were a little concerned because of a large downed branch and other debris from a recent storm but the cache was good

We found the coords to be a little off but we found the cache. Thanks a_kluger.

This one has us scratching around for a little while but a relatively easy find in hindsight. TFTC!

Nice easy find. Was able to see it from standing on the grass and just need to step in to grab it.

Found with cyclone, tftc!

nice as

Easy find, minimal bushbashing. TFTC!

Log full, added new page, Tftc

I don’t enjoy just in the bush ones as I like a challenge.

Easy but cool

TFTC

Tftc!

Quick find in the Bush!

Good hide

Easy find

Nice find but a bit difficult. 21st find for me. TFTC

Found after a short search TFTC

We headed up this way to grab a couple of the Adventure Labs in the City and thought it was an ideal opportunity to snare a couple of caches too! This one was on the to do list for today. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there ____akluger, I was in this area today and found your cache 2021 Christmas Countdown 20 GC9KE0K. Our name was added to the log book at 11:05 am on 27 March 2022. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

We took up Geocaching on 3 March 2013 and this cache brings our total find count to - 13327.

Only DNF of the day. Even using the photo suggested there were so many options.

Here it is she says.

TFTC

Relatively quick find.

Couldn’t find it, where in the bush

Find 5 of 8 with a single DNF on a short solo ride from UWA to Dalkeith and back. Beautiful day to admire the river views.

Not enthralled with the idea of getting stuck in here, but with 3 DNFs I thought I'd give it a go and maybe add my name to the hall of shame. After drawing a blank I looked back in the logs and lined myself up with the image from 20/12/21 and that was all that was needed to make the find. No trampling required.

TFTC ____akluger!

Searched all likely spots we might have used.

Few bees around, did not want to risk it too much.

Better things to do. going home

Didn't attempt today. Way too many BEES!

Found on Australia Day after a bit of a search. Lift and look. TFTC

Took a lot longer than it needed to, thanks

Completed the series before work this morning. Found all (less one archived cache) and got the bonus. All quick finds. Thanks for the hide

Second outing to the area to try & clear up whats left of the countdown to Christmas series TFTC ____akluger

Back in the area today to collect a few more smilies from the 2021 Christmas Countdown series. A quick find here. Tftc

TFTC

Was down this way early this morning doing maintenance on a few of my caches, enjoying a rare cold morning.
Dropped past here for a look. Took a while, seems like a very random location, but found, phew! TFTC

Tricky little number!!

Second attempt here. Tftc

A very quiet day around Dalkeith, as it usually is! We spotted the cache very easily as it was not even hidden properly. We hid the cache a bit more to avoid any muggles from stealing it in the future.

Thanks for the cache __akluger.

Luckily the size and type of container made this one nowhere near as bad as it could have been to find and Patch soon had the prize in hand and a smile on her face. Thanks for all of your great work here ___akluger.

Found after a short search.
Thanks for the cache

The New Year sees us
back in the area to finish off this series.

TFTC ____akluger this is find #13027 for us.

Took a while a I hate having to trample plants. As it happened.... you don't have to trample them just move a couple to the side! TFTC

Found a flat stone that looked like it was a cache cover, but no cache underneath. Maybe it was a decoy and I gave up too quickly.

A team MICS(Meme28, I C Nothing, CirrusWA and SirFancy) caching night.
We painted the town yellow with smiley faces picking up caches in Dalkeith, Nedlands and West Perth.

Congratulations to CirrusWA getting the final caches needed to have found 1000 caches within the year.





This is my 1191 find.
Thank you ____akluger for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!

Group catch-up MICS for the end of year with Cirrus_WA ICNothing and SirFancy. Countdown Cache found in good condition, great series!

After carpooling up we had a bit of a slow start grabbing this cache, turned it up eventually and added our names to the log sheet.
• • • • •

Working towards 1000 caches for the calendar year and gave a call out to SirFancy, Meme28 & I C Nothing to find a time to head out and grab the last 18 caches needed.
Tonight worked for everyone so with the details worked out we met up in Dalkeith and the hunt was on.
Spent sometime as a big group and split up occasionally making mainly quick work with everything we were chasing.
By the time we started heading for home I was well and truely past my goal finishing up with 31 finds and 0 DNF’s.

Thanks ____akluger for placing 2021 Christmas Countdown 20 for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 18:29 on 28/12/21.
This is find number 3761 for me.

With this heat we haven’t been caching as we usually would so tonight we decided to get together to grab some caches and help Cirrus_WA get to his milestone. We had a great night caching with Meme28, Cirrus_WA and Sir Fancy. All caches found in good condition. Logged as MICS

This one took ages to find.The plants are getting pretty trampled at this one TFTC

Thanks for placing this cache

Nasty. I found it after Chwiliwr and/or the better half which ever he was being today. Thanks for the hide. I was solo so I just signed the log for me.

After the big bash had finished I messaged the fells to see if they were interested in going for a drive to see if the first to find was still available. To our surprise, the cache was still there 3 hours later unfound! Cheers ____akluger!

Seeing the new cache unfound so decided to take a drive out and have a look, snagged the FTF at 8pm then proceeded to grab the two other ones we hadn’t found before heading home and checking out the chemical factory fire near home.

Thanks for the find.

Thanks ____akluger for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with B12 and L177 getting a few smily faces.

out and about with neva2old collecting happy faces along the way. Took us a little while to fined but we found it in the end.

Out and about with Chwiliwr getting the daily cache. Quick find here, log signed and replaced as found.
