Found it, unfortunately all the effort to keep it dry did not work, bag and container both full of water
Coordinates changed from:S 32 26.273 E 115 46.830Coordinates changed to:S 32 26.271 E 115 46.833Distance from original: 19.6 feet or 6.0 meters.The new cache is in the same place as the last one. However, I updated the coordinates to ensure they are the most accurate. My latest GPS is a Garmin GPSMAP 67i which I used to mark this cache.
The old cache has gone missing, so I have replaced it with a new one. It is a plastic lunch box. To ensure it is waterproof, I put the lunch box inside a red dry bag. The bag is covered with old dead branches (at the end of a dead log)
We couldnt find it might not be here anymore as there hasnt been any sightings for a looooong time.
Doing a bunch of caches around south west Western Australia. TFTC.
A quick easy find. Cache in good condition.

An early start on a fresh wintry morning walking around the sand tracks picking up some smileys. This is one I found today. The outer bag had water in it but the container was keeping the logbook nice and dry. Log signed and replaced as found. Thanks ClydeE for placing this one.
Replaced with a new container (largish lunchbox with a new logbook and several goodies).
Finally did this - better late than never

Out in the coldest day this Spring. Very wet and even hail. Not letting the bad weather but me off I still managed to find a few.
By the afternoon I was greeted with mostly blue skies and no rain. That’s a win!
Great to find an oldie too. Log was wet.
Morgo the geo found The Swamp

Although the contair was secure, the log was soaked. No real surprises there I guess, all things considered. TFTC
Dropped my pen back 200m, got back to sign log and a lady with a couple of dogs sprung me. Quick find TFTH
I had some time before catching up with a friend close by so picked this one up for my grid! Thank you!
A quick find here. This one has been on my list to find for a while now to fill a spot in my Jasmer grid. Found whilst out and about caching on a caching afternoon with I C Nothing. TFTH!
Heading back home after a weekend down south. Met up with Kapelula to take the scenic road home so we we could grab some caches that have been on the radar for awhile . This one is on of the old caches we required. Glad to find it is in good shape.
Nice walk to get some fresh air and exercise. Log is damp but still managed to sign. Put back safely as found TFTC
Found it! Tacking a few hides in the area before work. Little bit damp inside the cache. Tftc ClydeE
Found with axell33 and the geopups. Out to walk the pups and get a cache for us! A great safe place for the pups to run. A quick find here. Thanks for the cache.
Out on a beautiful sunny Sunday with the Geopooches grabbing a few caches. We decided to trek across the bush to this one. Once at gz we made a nice quick find. We signed your log and returned the cache to its place of hiding. Now on to the next one. TFTC ClydeE.
Took a while to find, gps threw us off a bit. Hints should have helped but so many logs!
Thanks for the cache

Nice easy find in a lovely Reserve!
Cache inside is pretty damp and logbook completely saturated. I dried out the container and contents as best as I could, put the wet log in a plastic bag and a new small log in another separate bag, this should tide it over for a short time!
TFTC ClydeE!!

Headed out after work, to make a start on our Souvenir challenge. Raining or not raining, Off we went, picking up nearly a dozen caches, all caches in good condition, one had a little water in it, logbook was dry. Drained out the water, and all caches put back as found. Tftc sl tnln.
Great first find for me and Theo, although, log drenched and full and pen dead so could not sign, but still a great one for our first find
Came in to grab the CPS series and decided to grab this one on the way out.
Log was quite wet, so left it outside the bag in the hope that it will dry out a little better that way. TFTC ClydeE.

Ending up on a trail that's leads straight to this cache it would have been silly not to find it. Arriving at GZ I made a discovery of a very swampy cache.
It looks like the seal has failed some time ago and everything is wet an muldy. No matter its a fantastic spot and I was able to sign the book no worries at all.
Thanks ClydeE its always nice to find an old cache that's still there

Out looking for orchids this arvo decided to grab a few caches a long the way, after finding the first cache we headed bush towards this one only to find that it had a good track leading to it, had to have a laugh at myself for this one, a nice easy find TFTC
TFTC! Had a spare couple of hours today so Cravo and I decided to head down Mandurah way to grab a few caches.
Our main target for the trip was another leg of the CPS series, which we've been working through for some time now. We managed to grab all three caches in the series but couldn't get the final as one of the caches was missing the finders card, we will be back soon to grab the final.
We grabbed a bunch of nice park and grabs around the general area and a few frustrating DNFs on caches that have been missing for some time.
All caches were in good shape and we're looking forward to coming back soon to try to keep the sea of green dots from growing. Thanks

We eventually found the cache after a bit of bushbashing... a nice way to start the day.
Also, the cache is a little bit water damaged
Thanks for the hunt!

Myself, my mate and his brother found this really easy one after a messy walk through the bush
It needs to be hidden better

My mate (Kasey), brother (Bodhi) and myself (Reife) found this geocache on the 26/02/16. This cache was found quite easily after a long tiring walk through the bush.
Found with Fids crew - 4 year old geograndie got it because GPS had me off in another direction. Filled in holes in log - people are annoying taking whole pages for themselves. TFTC
Walking through and picked this one up quickly - no pen so I will have to go back! Such a lovely bushland reserve, with lots of kangaroos.
Originally found under family caching name clan - wallace now branching out under own caching name
It was just where the hint said it would be. It is very damp. The lid had not been screwed in properly & the bag holding the log was not properly sealed. Log very damp.TFTC
Headed out this morning to clean up the caches around RLRP. Decided to do this side first.
The weather held of until the last 5 miinutes. Was a beautiful morning without any snakes
A quick find by the geoson at this one. Grabbed the clue and kept going.
The container was full of water but thankfully the inner bag saved the log book. We took away the outer bags as they were holding the water into the container
This was cache number 5 out of 12 for today. Also our total find number 2044
Thanks ClydeE for this hide.

We had come to do the CPS series but gave up when the first one did not have any cards left. So with light rain falling we headed off for the other 3 nearby.
JAAMS was first. We always like a large cache and wondered about the D rating. As we spotted the hide it all well into place. We worked away at it and then success. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.
It was then onto Kia Ora Cuz as we headed along the sandy track with a small detour as we got to GZ. We spotted something not quite right and on further investigation we turned up the nicely camoed hide. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
The Swamp was last on the walk and once near GZ was an easy find as it was not that well covered with the outer plastic bag. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Maccasreps decided to go on a bike ride so we came here to these awesome caches in this park
The mozzies were out in large numbers in this area of the reserve. This was find #5 during our afternoon enjoying the sunshine and geocaching. TFTC
On the way back from doing a bush walk we ventured onto the swamp trail and what a change of scenery! Lots of paper bark trees and reeds and then tuart trees. After a short search the cache was found. The container is dry and in good condition but the outer plastic bags are wet (as to be expected this time of the year) - emptied water and rewrapped. SL TSLS TFTC ClydeE
After much looking and the GPS playing up we found it nicely hidden. TNLN. Thanks!
Came across a couple of campers on the way to this cache who luckily were out of range by the time we got to the GZ. A quick search and the geoWife soon had the cache in hand. Swapped a toy plane for the eraser and signed the log.

I was in the are and had the opportunity to find a couple of the Paganoni caches. A straight forward find. TFTC.

There are a lot of logs nearby, and after finding GZ, i could not for the life of me find it.
I did find a shelf/perch attached to a tree at head height, but held nothing and didnt appear to be pointing toward anything. Will have to try to find this one again some day

While scouting the area for a new hide location I decided to grab the only traditional I had left in this area. A nice easy find with spot on coordinates, the cache is in good condition and the log is dry. TFTC ClydeE
Quick find after a nice shady walk along the track. Cache dry and in good condition. TFTC ClydeE.
[:(!] So we had nothing better to do after church so we decided to do a five caching run, parked the geocar as close as possible to GC3K0NM (RLRP~ Log it) and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

Another nice easy find in this reserve, which is great for a nice walk with the geoson! This day was a bit drizzly, but luckily he loves putting on the gumboots and raincoat and getting out in nature. Thanks ClydeE for this find!
TFTC ClydeE. Checking out other caches in the area and reckoned that we were near enough to give this one a crack. Bit of a walk but a nice easy find once we got to the GZ. Signed log then struck out across the bush to get back to the car park. Made it without any dramas. Really enjoyed the scenery in here. [^]
Out caching with my family and Luna Maya today... I found this one & had fun playing with the toys! TFTC ClydeE
An enjoyable stroll through the 'swamp' with Luna Maya to this one today ... perfect weather AND no mozzies . It wasn't long before we were at GZ, where 4yo DangerMouse09 was quickly onto the prize . Both the kidlets perused the contents while i read through some old logs, and then added our own names. Always nice to find an old cache near suburbia [^] ... you generally have to travel quite a bit further afield these days. The cache is dry and in good condition. Thanks ClydeE
Parking was tricky but walk was nice (except on sandy trail.)... mosquitoes were annoying. found easily. TNLN TFC
