Out with axell33 on this beaut morning and spent a bit of time searching allll over for this one. A good close look at the map and we extended our gz for a nice quick find. Loved the hide here, a favourite from me, a great urban hide! Thanks TMP8490.
 
24-Mar-24
Out on this beautiful morning grabbing some caches and we had time for one more. So we set our sights on this one and once at gz our search begun. We searched for about 10 minutes where our gps was telling us with no luck, so we widened our search and we soon had your cache in hand. We signed your log and returned your cache back to where it lives. This is a good little urban hide, favourite point coming up when I get a fresh batch delivered. TFTC TMP8490

Geocache Found!Team Name: jinta29 (Ian and Jan)Date: September 24, 2023Location: Baldivis to Rockingham, Western AustraliaLog Entry:G'Day Geocaching Community!Today, we embarked on a geocaching adventure, starting from our home base in Baldivis and making our way across to Rockingham. The sun was shining, and the thrill of the hunt was calling our names. It's always a great day when you can combine outdoor exploration and treasure hunting! A clever hide here and a favourite has been awarded for your creation. Our first stop was at the enchanting Tamworth Wetlands. What a remarkable place! The serenity of the wetlands made this geocaching experience truly special. We managed to locate the cache hidden amidst the natural beauty of this area where the hint indicated. We signed the logbook to mark our presence.Our geocaching adventure eventually led us to Rockingham, where we found our final caches of the day. This coastal town always has a special place in our hearts, and finding the caches here was the cherry on top of an already fantastic morning.To the cache owners, thank you so much for hiding these treasures and allowing us to explore this region. We appreciate the effort you put into maintaining these caches for the geocaching community.Cheers to another successful day of geocaching and to all the fellow cachers out there - TFTC (Thanks for the Cache)!Until the next adventure,jinta29 (Ian and Jan)

*FTF*. Checked my email this morning and saw the notification for this cache and your other one, so decided to go for the FTFs. Arrived at GZ and I have to say I commenced the hunt in the dumbest possible way. After exhausting most possibilities, I took a few steps back to assess GZ from a distance, spotted something on the other side of the creek from where I was standing and had the cache in hand shortly thereafter.

Thanks TMP8490 for the cache and the FTF prize. Have a Fav for this one as it is something a bit different and a great first hide.

We are going into town to say farewell to Pilot Mal R.I.P.
I don't think he would mind if we searched for a few Smilies on the way. TFTC TMP8490
