Cute container. Coords bouncing around and had me about 7m out. Expanded search and found.Adventure to Perth chasing all States and Territories in a year with Kittykatch. Looking forward to the adventure.Thanks for getting me out and about rainbowscjaz

Perth/Darwin TripI was born in the year of the dragon and so was my hubby and eldest son. We have celebrated 2024 as it is the year that I have finally retired. Great to have more time now to explore the world. Joolay and I are travelling to WA and NT to qualify for a challenge that requires you to find a cache in every Australian state in a calendar year. Thanks for this cool cache rainbowscjaz

Out with Team Barritts and Ullyssia finding smileys after the WA AGM. Happy to make the find here today, TFTC!

Out with BJA3 and Ullyssia for a days caching after the AGM.Cache found without too much trouble and in good order.Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us and others to enjoy finding, adding to the great game of Geocaching!

Find it and sign the log as EV. Thank you for the cache and hunt

In Perth for a couple of days visiting family, doctors and dentist. Grabbing a few finds around Alfred Cove area. Thanks for the hide.

Third morning of a long weekend in Perth with the geowife before work next week in town. Staying at the esplanade in Fremantle for a few night and thought Id pop out early and pick up a few caches whilst the dearly beloved gets some more rest.Cache found quickly, log extracted and mark made for prosperity. Returned to its hiding place for the next lucky cacherA big thanks to the cache owner for placing the cache for the enjoyment of others.Off on the next adventure.Cheers

Another cache found for TaurusSix an me on our recent Perth explorations.Yesterday we had ticked off a few of our objectives. This morning we continued that endeavour, finding a geocache in a local government area we had not caches in before. We were now looking for a few more before heading home.We had missed spotting this one a few minutes previous (did not zoom out enough) and so when spotted we doubled back to have a look.We thought we were going to have trouble accessing GZ for we were walking along a fence. Then at the end the fence ended too, solving that problem. We then ventured into the wilds with a care to where we were treading. At GZ the cache was found quickly. We noted we were not being watched from a nearby vantage point (at least not overtly). The container is interesting, we have found very few using that particular method.With the log now marked with our symbols and safely back where it normally resides we headed off with thoughts of the next cache on our minds.rainbowscjaz we thank you for the interesting cache and the adventure of finding it.

A traditional cache, an earth cache, a multi-cache, 2x challenge caches and an Adventure Lab with a bonus all on one spectacular walk. We had a great day out, thanks rainbowscjaz, we loved the container.

Thanks for setting this one up. It is a great area of the river. It is a really cute cache.

So pleased to have found a logical and super easy way in to GZ to find this absolutely amazing construction. TFTC, rainbowscjaz!

Minor bush bashing but cool little cache. TFTC!

Find 1 of 7 on a walk along Blackwall Reach Reserve and back, celebrating our 34th (secret) anniversary.Those dragon years are always significant, it seems. Decided to hop the fence here, but it got its own back by letting out an ear-piercing shriek both entering and departing the area. Nice quick find, good work.TFTC rainbowscjaz!

Quick find once we worked out how to reach it.

very cute! TFTC

Tftc!

Nice quick find at GZ, loved the cache, tail is already broken off though sadly!Great day out walking along the river practicing our hiking with 15kgs on the back in preparation for the Bibb....Thank you rainbowscjaz for placing and maintaining Leap Day - Year of the Dragon (Be gentle) for us and others to find and enjoy!

Quick find after spending the day nearby doing my skippers ticket. Nice quiet place for a cache hunt. TFTC

Nice quick find whilst doing the lab cache TFTC

I wasnt sure how to approach this one. There seemed to be a fence prohibiting entry to the area. After trying multiple approaches, I went back to the road along the foreshore and navigated through the bush from there. Thanks for the hide.

With cooler weather upon us I headed to Point Walter for some exercise... & of course to find a few caches whilst in the area Cache was a quick find after a short walk through the bush... TFTC rainbowscjaz [^]
