Kokoda Track Memorial Walk Lab Bonus Perth, Western Australia, Australia
By Cirrus_WA on 07-Oct-22. Waypoint GCA0N0H

Greetings from Canberra! In Canberra, we have the exact same plaques from the same historian placed up Mt Ainslie (I have a Wherigo about it) so I wanted to make sure that I visited the Perth version. This one was a shorter but steeper journey. Nice and quick though, and good exercise. There was someone running up and down several times, we were amazed, one trip up was enough for us! Once the AL was done, I did some careful mauve ring to GZ and it took a few minutes to spot the cache. PLEASE NOTE, I found a used syringe near GZ, some local could consider reporting it to the correct authority? TFTC!

Found after a short search, lucky I spotted it as it put my bag almost on top of it in order to search unencumbered. Thanks for the cache Cirrus_WA

Another long trip around AU over the top end with lots of detours. Now heading back east across the Nullarbor.TFTC. A tough hide that took a while. Gave up and then Aquilus1 spotted it on the way out.

Took a while to find. Not so tricky, just needed the right angle to spot it. It was a lovely, warm, sunny day to spend the day caching around Perth. After a few suburban caches in the morning, it was into Kings Park for an explore by AL's and a variety of caches as we passed. Continued into the CBD for many more, an enjoyable day exploring the area and its many hidden locations. After dinner, it was back to the car in Kings Park, a busy place still and top spot to take in the night views of the city lights and pleasant on a still warm evening. Thanks for the cache.

After enjoying the AL, we worked out the solution and then with very accurate coords made a quick find at GZ. TFTC Cirrus_WA

A really interesting and historic aspect to this Adventure Lab. We spent quite a few hours in Kings Park yesterday, walking and driving too many great locations and Gardens. The history here is beautifully presented.We got our exercise on the steps, and then came to look for this final which was found without any problem. Thanks Cirrus_WADomsky

Great AdLab after heading up to Kings Park today for a great Star Wars May the Fourth event and a great opportunity to clean up some of the gems around here! Got to GZ and thought oh geez, we are gonna need some help with this so sent a PAF to the CO but thankfully found just as he messaged me back....had an idea of what to look for and nice quick find!Thank you Cirrus_WA for placing and maintaining Kokoda Track Memorial Walk Lab Bonus for us and others to find and enjoy! Fave point given for a great AdLab and for a nice easy Bonus and for always being a great CO

Could not find this one

Not sure whether my cache senses are off this trip or what but my dnf rate over the last couple of days has been way higher than usual Thanks for the hunt, got a really solid fix at GZ but no dice:(

Maintenance log:Date - 21/3/2024Time - 18:20Action - container replaced.

Back in play.

Having finished the AL and got the bonus info, I was wondering why I couldn't see any bonus cache showing in the App. All becomes clear now that I can see the website. Pity we are leaving tomorrow - maybe another time

Container is missing, will source a replacement and get back in place shortly.

Can CO please check if cache is still viable.

Dopo aver terminato la Lab immettiamo le coordinate per il Bonus che purtroppo non troviamo dopo 30 minuti di ricerca. Peccato!After finishing the Lab we enter the coordinates for the Bonus which unfortunately we cannot find after 30 minutes of searching. Pity!

Realized my mistake when I already left Kings park, managed to solve the adventure lab but no luck in finding cache. Maybe next time .

Mrs Riddell did the AdLab no worries but was unable to come up with the bonus unfortunately looked for about 40 minutes just going over the same widened search.Buffalo grass is starting to grow a bit but thought we covered that OK. At some stage you just have to let it goTFTC maybe better luck if we venture over to Perth again. Least she conquered most of the Bibbulmun!

It was hard enough walking that hill let alone what our diggers went through. GZ took me a few minutes to finally track down the cache. TFTC

To find the bonus was hard work. TftC

Wow! Thanks for bringing me to this location. I cant believe that I have never noticed this track before. Enjoyed climbing down and huffed and puffed up the stairs. Cache spotted and signed with no issues. Fav point delivery for you.

I’m visiting from Brisbane for a few days while my husband is working here. The last time I was in Perth was in 1990! Today I walked 19km finding 18 mostly targeted caches and some ALs.
I enjoyed my walk in King’s Park, then made my way down the Kokoda Track. Sorted out the information and made my way to gz. It took a bit longer to find than I hoped as my coordinates had me a bit further over than it was. But then I was glad to see a familiar container. Tftc

Maintenance log:

Action - General cache check. Container and log in good condition.

Full time nomads since February 2014, back in WA to visit family.

Headed into the city with the bikes on the GeoCruiser to tackle some caches around Northbridge, then we made another stop at Herdsman lake to grab the 2 AdLabs and a few caches along the way.

The solution coordinates are very precise, but the shadows at GZ were so deep that I still had a bit of trouble finding the container. I did get it done in the end. TFTC!

Nicely done.

Fence at GZ has gone.

Despite the fenced off area, I snuck in to claim the cache. The hardest part was getting out and across the road again.

Area is fenced off as is the footpath so no access available.

Tftc crossing the road in peak hour was a tad tricky.

We completed the AdLab a long time ago, back today with hunzman to claim the final. TFTC and associated AdLab.

Swiss geocachers on a journey through Western Australia.
Today we were able to collect the bonus of a LAB adventure and a puzzle. Thank you for the cans.

Glad I did this in the right order. It’s pretty warm out. TFTC

Thank you! Has a family thing on in Kings Park, so took the opportunity to arrive a little early and do this adlab. Happy to also have time to find the bonus box.

We went on a world tour with the AIDAmar and visited many cities on the Australian continent. We visited almost all the big cities in the south of the continent, and it was important for us not only to get to know the country and its people, but also to find one or two caches. We had a great time here. After we had completed the LAB cache, we went to this bonus on the way back.Many thanks for the cache say reax1001

Completed the lab yesterday. Walked to the bottom then used the stages on the way back up to rest! Then realised where the finale was. Getting a few caches at UwA tonight so pulled over to finish this off on the way home. Tftc

I completed the lab a few weeks ago but didn't have time to work out the coords until I was back home. I was out this way again on my morning run to make the grab I knew roughly where it was and I spotted it as I approached, I didn't even need to drag the GPS out to make the find.

Scootered back to log a quick find after doing the lab previously. Other than dashing across the road and crash barrier, going around seemed the most sensible option which is why I left it for another day after doing the lab. Thanks for the cache.

A very enjoyable lab and sweet little bonus here.
Tftc.

There was a sistema in the middle of the road , so I was hoping that wasn’t it . Glad to have found the cache hiding nearby . Tftc

Happy to come back today and make the find. Thankyou for the exercise that the AdLab and BB provided me, and a FP for your work!

Cache in good condition.


This is my 3793 find.
Thank you Cirrus_WA for placing and maintaining this cache.

Sir Fancy I C Nothing and Cirrus_Wa, are out for another Tuesday night of caching, grabbing any caches that take our fancy or are in our line of travel.
All caches found in good condition. Log signed SIC

Completed the Adventure lab then ducked over to the final coords to make a quick find. Fave point, I've never seen this trail before so thank you. TFTC

Finally had a free moment to come back and get thus well hidden cache. Tftc

Lucky to make a quick find here after collecting clues from an informative AL, a favorite! Thank you for the lab and for the bonus Cirrus_WA.

Took a bit of time to find! TFTC ️ found with SgtAnt

Found this with camanda and geo dog. Tftc

Find 1 of 10 with a single DNF on a mega day of caching and Adventure Labbing by bike, centred on the CBD but covering 45km. We completed 6 full Ad Labs in Kings Park, East Perth, Highgate, Mt Lawley and Maylands, and on the way cleaned up almost all of the physical caches around.

Our second Ad Lab of the day led us here. Mrs O made the find. Don't think we have ever walked this track before.

TFTC Cirrus_WA!

A little round trip tonight clearing the map again TFTH

Out and about again, for a lunch run along the river with a small stop to get the cache.

My second time back here.

Thanks Cirrus for the hide I found.

Legs have recovered. Great spot for a lab. Have always thought that the WA caching community should flood Kings Park with labs given how hard it is to get caches published in there.

Add FP.

Found very quickly thanks to Me&Bs eagle eye.

Cool nice quick find

Found after completing the interesting AdLab.

TFTC Cirrus_WA this is find #14296 for us.

After completing the lab cache I worked out the co-ords and walked to GZ. I must admit it took me ages to find the final cache but eventually it was spotted and logbook signed TFTC cirrus wa
Favourite point

Finally catching up with some more logging!Another day and another find, happy to say we came up trumps here and walked away with a smiley TFTC

A strenuous climb for the Ad Lab but well worth it for the view and the information plaques. Have a favourite.
Now to try Jacob's Ladder!

Went for a drive after receiving the notification for the publication of this cache. Had just started the associated lab cache when Lachlan1.77 came from the other way. He waited until the lab cache was completed by me and we walked down to ground zero where we conducted a search for the cache. Cache was soon found by me and with a blank log so joint *FTF*.

Thanks Cirrus_WA for placing this cache and for the associated adventure lab.

Joint *FTF* with Chwiliwr. Ended up doing the steps two round trips while I waited for Chwiliwr to complete the lab, who I had met at the bottom. Cheers Cirrus_WA!
