There was no one in the carpark, we had the platform to ourselves, sport field was empty.. The stars couldn't have aligned better for a cache hunt but we were still fiddling and feeling and at a loss to where this elusive cache could be for wayyy too long. Until... Oooh.. that's a sneaky hide.... TFTC duck 43.

It was a beautiful day, and there was a small window in the morning when it wasn't too hot, so we decided to go on a duck hunt. We found another batch of excellent caches that deserved favourite points.

Nice a quiet here. This new platform over looks a previous cache that I spent hours looking for which is now archived. Took a few trips around the platform before I spotted a little something. TFTC

Full time nomads since February 2014, here to visit family.

Mr Felix headed out with SpatialRiq and TheMachman for a days caching. The plan was hatched for a duck run but of course they just couldn't go past all those other caches!

A fun day out with friends, long time between caching runs together.

Got lucky here which was good because the mower man was out in force and grass clipping were blowing wildly. Wasn’t the first or second place I searched but methodical proved successful. Thanks.
 
28-Mar-23
Started searching and found the cache laying out in the open.
Log signed and cache replaced where we believe it belongs.
The hide surely would have had us searching for a while.

The actual time I spent looking for this cache was small but I was on the platform a long time. No sooner had I started my search when another couple of people came wandering along the foreshore. They stopped for what felt like ages looking at the wetland and the birds. Eventually they left and my search began. Thanks for another quality hide duck. A favourite point.
 
10-Feb-23
Out and about again, a beautiful day so I headed along the south side of river doing Lab Adventures and a couple of trads.

Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today, managed to find under 10 minutes.

Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

Have been thinking about this hide for the last couple of weeks since my DNF and thought I must have been on the right track but not been able to get my fingers to the cache.
Today I returned and started on my hunch and this time managed to just feel a discrepancy and turn up the cache.
• • • • •

Joined up with the rest of the MICKS (Meme28, I C Nothing, Kapelula & SirFancy) for an afternoon and evening of caching around Attadale, Como & South Perth.
Always enjoy a successful night out with friends and this was no different and I headed home with 14 finds, 1 event attended & 1 DNF.

Unfortunately I was unable to locate this cache today. I will add it to my list and hopefully return soon to claim the prize.
