Greetings from Canberra! Found on a short walk around Optus Stadium AFTER doing the Ozone Climb. Took a few minutes at WP1 to get the numbers sorted, but the math all worked out in the end. At GZ, I found it immediately after observing my surroundings on approach. TFTC!
That plaque would have to be a candidate for the smallest plaque in WA! The walk out to GZ was quite eerie in the late evening. Till the lights switched on! TFTC.
I walked past then my GPS told me it was behind me. Right there I would place a cache.
Always good to check out the art thats around although some people have some funky imaginations. Cache easily found today once at GZIn Perth for work today I headed over to Optus stadium for a walk around and to find a few caches before walking back to the city. 15 finds for the day dodging the rain as it fell. Thanks for the cache
Today we took a walk and a tour of the nearby stadium, and enjoyed crossing the footbridge to make our way to the stadium area. We could see people zip lining from high up on the bridge across the water and onto land. After that we made a loop of the stadium but stopped to have a look at this multi along the way. We sat in the shade to put all the numbers together and then it was just a short walk to another spot which soon had the Log in our hands and signed. Today the artwork was not a happening thing at the starting WP, but we can imagine it is quite effective and beautiful when it is. Thanks Lachlan1.77Domsky
Another nice easy multi, got the coords and GZ made perfect sense so a quick trek and cache was in hand!So our day was pretty planned out, we had a mission in mind and knew we would clock up a few kms today! We jumped off the train at Elizabeth Quay and caught a CAT straight up to yesterdays DNF to rectify and after a success there then headed straight to the Optus Stadium to clean up the area around here!We had an awesome wander around Optus Stadium collecting smilies! Was a great day out, we ended up doing nearly 20kms today as we had to do several laps around Optus Stadium in our crazy quest but thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you Lachlan1.77 for placing and maintaining Perth Station Art Series - Stadium for us and others to find and enjoy!
Perfect type of cache for this location. Thanks for taking all the effort to create this puzzle and cache
Meeting friends for a Christmas Eve drink at the Camfield, so took the opportunity beforehand for a walk around the stadium to clear up any unfound caches All very quiet around here today! Numbers quickly obtained at WP1 and then a short walk over to GZ via a path I hadn't ever used before. A couple of likely options once there... and I struck lucky first time No problems here today - and happily I have seen the art at its nighttime best TFTC
Found with hubby. We did have to do it twice because we lucked up the numbers. Great hide thank you. We left a little pin from our defence force son.
Very enjoyable multi here and a short walk over to GZ. Found after a short search.

A short trip to Perth, and the evening free, so spent on a lovely walk sun time for sunset and enjoyed the precinct! Lots of caches! Phone did die half way through but a perfectly placed outdoor PowerPoint near one of the toilets and rotundas provided a relief that I could keep caching! Lots of variety, and types of caches and hides. Thanks very much. Really lovely area!
Nice little multi and a quick find at GZ. But must come back at night to see the lights.
I got all the required information on one of my bike rides. Days later I sat down to calculate all the answers. I went through the entire process several times before I was sure I had every letter correct as I had noticed there wasn’t a checker. Turns out I was correct with my calculations and this morning on my early morning bike ride I went to GZ. Found the cache in the first place I looked. Not a soul to be seen on a Sunday morning except those passing nearby in cars. Thanks for a very different multi. And it must have taken ages to put together. Well done. A favourite for sure.
Everyone glad there was only one climb. Also glad for isolation and toolkit helpers. Nice multi though noisy gocarts made concentrating difficultish. Tftc
The GeoBikes were still on the back of the car so this morning we decided to head to Burswood to visit Optus Stadium as there was no event on there today! Whilst making our plans and organising our picnic lunch geobuddies iluvtrekking messaged to see what we were up to.
The plan then hatched to meet up and cycle around the stadium. That task completed, lunch eaten then time to watch some crazy people climb and zip from the bridge!
Onwards to Elizabeth Quay where Mrs ILT and Mr F set about catching the ferry to south perth (3 times) good thing they were using their old farts cards Apparently the 3rd crossing was nice and relaxing!
Whilst they were boating Mr ILT and Mrs F set off in the GeoCruisers to tackle some unfound caches SOR before we rejoined our partners and said adieu.
We then headed to East Perth for another AdLab and 2 caches, mind you 1 cache took well over 30minutes and we thought it was going to be dark before we were on our way home. [B)]
A fun filled long day and managed to get 'home' just before sunset. Happy Easter!

We joined FelixII and rode around the stadium this morning. Very enjoyable and perfect weather. Some caches were found quickly others took a little longer, but all were found.
Thanks, Lachlan1.77.
Thanks, Lachlan1.77.
Did everything right except typing the coordinates correctly into the waypoints. Did all of it again after figuring it wouldn’t be on the train tracks and found my error. Quick find once at the correct location. TFTC!
Tuesday night caching with I C Nothing, Cirrus_WA and Kapelula.
So signing as SICK.
Cache in good condition.
This is my 4036 find.
Thank you Lachlan1.77 for placing and maintaining this cache.
Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!

Kapelula, I C Nothing, Cirrus_wa and Sir Fancy are out for another Tuesday night caching. Collecting a few caches that have been on our hit list or yet to be found that needs rectifying. Tftc all found in good condition. Signed the log SICK
Took some pics of the required info after our previous visit. It was nice to collect the smiley whilst in the area.
Out and about night caching with I C Nothing, Cirrus_WA and Sir Fancy, Some logs signed SICK. TFTH!

Worked out a while back and took the time today to stop and get the cache. Great multi and hide thanks
In the area so thought I would grab this. No one around so sat down and worked out the numbers. Short stroll to GZ and quick find. TFTC
Gastank2 and I took a lunchtime walk to finish this multi. We took a photo last time we were in the area and worked out the coordinates for the final waypoint. I got to ground zero and checked several places before finding the cache and signing the log. Glad to have completed this one. Thanks for the cache.
Grabbed the information for solving this multi while at the football a couple of days ago and worked out some usable coordinates but when leaving with 40,000 people finding opportunities are limited.
No such issues tonight as I made my way to GZ after a walk along the stadium.
I arrived to a couple of likely hide locations and found the container in the first place I looked.
Thanks Lachlan1.77 for placing Perth Station Art Series: Stadium for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 21:46 on 28/6/2022.
This is find number 5301 for me.

Find 1 of 23 with 1 DNF on a longer bike ride from Burswood, out to the mighty Tonkin PSP and back via Carlisle/Lathlain, clearing the map off. Thanks to DCell, Lachlan1.77 and Bindi01 for most of the entertainment, it's always a pleasure finding your caches.
Started here. A nice simple multi to get us going and good co-ords to a well-concealed cache.
TFTC Lachlan1.77!

We quickly located the plaque and gathered the required clues to get some coordinates and made our way to the GZ. After a brief look around we made the find in the obvious spot.
A great series, TFTC and putting this series together L1.77!

After grabbing the nearby FTF we ventured further afield to cleanup some recently published caches.
Thanks for the find.
Enjoying this series - there’s never a bad time to visit Optus stadium.

Glad this one is sorted out, did the maths and came up with some coords. Wandered over and didn't have much of a problem locating. Quiet here - bit busier below though.
Thank L1.77 for the hide.

After gathering the required information and doing the sums we happily signed the log.

Headed to the listed coordinates and worked out what we thought was ground zero but it was too far away for me so I stayed in the shade back towards the stadium whilst Chwiliwr went for a walk only to find ground zero was behind a working area and when he walked around the working area fence found it was locked away from the other side by a high fence. After a message to CO he walked back the long distance to the listed coordinates and sent an image of the plaque. CO changed the calculations and the real ground zero was found to be much closer so we walked over to it and made a quick find of the cache with a blank log so joint *FTF* with Chwiliwr.
Log signed and the cache returned as it was found.
Thanks Lachlan1.77 for placing this cache for cachers to find.
