Sounds like it could be missing. Will disable until I can check.

Enjoyed a wine while solving puzzle, but did not find cache.

Easy solve . Went to final, panels??

Love it! Had to use the brains a bit! So happy to find this one!

Out and about trying to claim a few smilies in the area. Happy to say I was successful here.Some logs signed as N2OThis is my 11957find.Thankyou Lachlan1.77 for placing and maintaining this cache

Nice and quiet Sunday morning. Very few muggles about. Enjoyed the quest.

TFTF nice little find. Quick one while passing through from the doctors.

Last find for the day. Nice and quiet on Sunday. Quick find and I remember these little packets! TFTC

Find 2 of 31 on a full day of caching, first on a 24km bike ride centred on Waterford, then on a decent walk up and around the back of Statham's Quarry and the zig zag. We topped it off with a tree climbing FTF in Banksia Grove as the light was dropping fast.

Another quality L177 multi! Muggles at the info GZ and then again at cache GZ. We took a photo to work off at the first, then waited out the second lot. Turned out we had misinterpreted the hint and the muggles weren't using what we wanted to inspect. Would have been a bit odd to go looking either way, so it was good we waited. Then once we'd swept our initial thought for the cache location we moved elsewhere and turned it up pretty quickly.

TFTC Lachlan1.77!

An early start thanks to time zones and also to avoid muggles. Interesting history and soon came up with some numbers only to find a muggle at GZ. Had to wait them out before making a quick grab. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Nice little hide, found quickly on a rainy day, 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!

Found by Mrs. Felix & Mr. ILT while our partners were riding back and forth on the ferry.
Thanks Lachlan1.77.

I figured early Sunday morning would be the best time to extract the cache as there would be nobody about. And so it was. I’d collected the necessary information on a previous visit and this was again my destination on my early morning bike ride. Thanks for the cache.

Nice bit of history here and a very nicely placed cache TFTC

A little bit of a hunt but the hint was essential. Favorite from jacarro44

A quick multi but not so quick find. Muggles everywhere but eventually had my hands on the cache. TFTC

All good here. Nice little shopping strip and some local history..cache and log in excellent condition tftc

Had to be very casual with coffee drinkers already sus.sat and phoned as I searched came up with goods and returned as found. Tftc

Finally found this neat multi cache. Have enjoyed the few hours I spent here solving the coorda, searching and discovering the cache was missing and then coming back today for a neat find. Lovely little town centre. Tftc

Nice easy multi, not too far away either

G’day, I visited this cache on Thursday 8/12/2022 and conducted a maintenance check.

The following actions were undertaken:
• Cache replaced.

Effective Thursday 8/12/2022 at 21:02, this cache is all good to go again! Thanks for your patience. Happy caching!

G’day all, I am disabling this cache (effective Tuesday 8/11/2022 at 10:10). Apologies for the inconvenience!

Reason: Potentially missing. Had a chat with the last user to report a DNF and it sounds like it wasn’t in the spot where it should have been. Will do a check on it in coming days.

Checked every one of the potential hosts. I can't find it!

After visiting family nearby in Waterford, we stopped to do this multi on the way to our accommodation. Tricky extracting the container but got there in the end. Thanks Lachlan.

Nice puzzle got there 2nd time round.

After a busy week and weekend, hasn’t been many opportunities to get out on a cache hunt. Again headed NoR, and for a couple on the way.
Thanks for the hide.

Out n about collecting some finds TFTH

Found by Team SIC Sir Fancy, I C Nothing and Cirrus_Wa for another night of caching. All caches found easily and in good condition. Thank you for placing.

A SIC (SirFancy, I C Nothing and Cirrus_WA) night out caching.

Cache in good condition.


This is my 2883 find.
Thank you Lachlan1.77 for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!
(I’m not a geologist I just like puns)

Didn’t take long to work out the details to get the final location and took a couple of minutes to get our hand on the container.

Back at it on a Tuesday night with SirFancy and this week we were joined by I C Nothing, signing mainly as SIC.
We did a bit of a loop through the south east corridor collecting caches from Manning, down to Gosnells and Armadale before heading back towards Cockburn.
On a cool night I managed to collect 10 finds, 5 adventure labs and 1 DNF.

Thanks Lachlan1.77 for placing Welwyn Avenue Shopping Centre for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 20:01 on 21/6/2022.
This is find number 5274 for me.

A quick offset multi, just how we like them.

TFTC Lachlan1.77 this is find #13687 for us.

My nephew boarded at Aquinas. He was allowed to visit these shops any time so long as he signed out. Since I rarely planned my visits, I never had a leave form completed in advance. As such, I also spent time at these shops. Nice quick offset multi here. Thanks.

Nice day in the morning - found it and signed the log as EV. Thank you for the cache and hunt.

There was no way PP1 was going to be able to retrieve that one. At last one better suited to my natural attributes TFTC Lachlan1.77

**FTF** with Chilli at 5pm

Saw bunkered down playing blocks with EGB2020 when this was published. She wasn’t interested in the drive so was sent to help Mrs Barnzy12 cook dinner.

Made an error with B, so walked the line and made the find with the hint.

An interesting side note my grandfather fought in Korea and lived in a War service home on Crawshaw Crescent. My pop worked as a trades assistant on the house, helping out in various capacities. The builder was paid by the brick, so kindly asked my grandfather if he could bury 3,000 bricks under his driveway, to which he obliged.

His home was bowled over a few years back, and I would have loved to have seen the demolition teams horror at the sight of the bricks!

Add FP.
