Had the right idea just had to find the right one

Cool find. Path a little water logged

Straptbunny

thank you for the walk, had to go aroubd since its very flooded

TFTC! Bag might need replacing, other than that all good

Found this one straight away, nice hidey spot! Log in great condition, bag has a tear in corner but should be okay for awhile yet. TFTC!

Critical thinking is required. It's definately there. We checked it today. Coordinates are pretty spot on too

Couldnt find today

Dnf

Very elusive. Will come back

So sad, we could not find it . Wonder if it is still here or we need to improve our finding skills . Will come back another day and have a look.

Ready to go again. Happy caching

Until further notice when I return to WA around Xmas time

Cache is all good

Had a good look but no luck for us here today

The lake look beautiful but unfortunately for us we didn’t find the cache.

It is not there we looked in the fork of a tree and I could not find it and it wasn't under the bridge either

Nice easy find

great hiding spot took us a while tyth

I was always putting this one off - it's literally 300m from my home and I procrastinated for ages. Got it today. Thanks for maintaining this.

Put a replacement cache out again today. Hopefully it doesn't get destroyed.

Did not find today but was worth the walk along just on it's own !!! One of my favs absolutely beautiful park and boardwalk and shade and all kinds of birds, baby ducks lol I could go on

DNF

Easy. Tftc

Not here

Visiting Bunbury. Geocaching let me see lots of nice spots.
Thank you for placing a cach in such a beautiful place. It was lots of birds and their chicks.
I enjoyed the walk

We have some great areas to explore & appreciate in this region & the walk to this cache is one of them...A duck family to watch, puddle to stomp through & a small almost submerged patch of ground to stand on to retrieve this cache. Really enjoyed finding this one, tftc
Cheers R&R

Wet & swampy, beautiful surrounds. R&R

We decided to head back down to Bunbury for an overnight caching trip and our planned route brought us through this area. Of course we had to stop and grab this cache while we were passing by! Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there opted-out user, we were in this area today and found your cache The Lakes GC9VKY1. Our name was added to the log book at 9:26 am on 7 October 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 - 13894.

Took ages to work out a way to GZ that didn’t involve swimming. The cache is in plain sight. I covered it with some paperbark but it’s still visible. Thanks.

I decided to return to this area yet again for two may caches (only puzzles left in this area after this). I parked in a spot I’d used for another cache nearby.
The walk was pleasant, but the sun was beating down. As I reached the bottom of the stairs I noticed the water level was up to the level of the boardwalk, and covered parts of the path. It certainly looked quite nice.
I almost walked right past GZ. I stepped back and saw the cache in plain sight. Only difficulty was the span of water between me and it. I considered my options and decided to think it over in the nearby shelter. The other occupant decided to move on as I approached.
I concluded there was only one thing to do. Back to GZ and I carefully took a big step. My legs were just long enough to get me across, but I was in a precarious position while I got the log out and signed it. Then another big step and I was back on the boardwalk.
The place had really nice ambience. Very quite except for the ducks and other birds. So I hung around for quite a while trying to get photos of dragonflies - and got a couple.
Then I returned to my now very hot car that had been sitting out in the sun this whole time.

A nice walk and find.

This one caused some sports! We received the notification on one mobile via email. Then went for FTF with another mobile, that did not show this geocache on the Geocaching app. Yikes, there was some spinning and searching to get this one from memory! A great place to visit! Thanks, Pete and Kate!
