Gotta agree with other posters here. Looked for ages but turned up nothing.
Think this one needs checking...

2nd attempt. no find. Looking at the past logs I'd recommend this one be taken down for maintenance.
Went and had a good look before I bothered to read the last logs.Hopefully it will be replaced soon.

Spent 1 hour over Thursday and Friday but couldn't find it. Checked all parts around the pylons - both wet and dry.
I had a brief look today under the bridge and I couldn't see much but I will investigate further tomorrow.
Worked out uncle Ronnie etc. but no container. Can we have missed it or is it gone?
Interesting spot under the bridge.
I had no idea it was made of timber and not steel and concrete like most of the bridges are these days in the city.
A few blokes were sitting nearby fishing but all they were catching were blowfish.

Took the TB
Left nothing.

Nice and shady under here. We needed the clues to narrow down the location as the GPS didn't pick up the satellites under the bridge.

No need for adults to walk planks here, our youngest matey is a plank walker from way back garhhhh! We managed to do this cache with no biker interference at all and had a great time walking under the bridge in the cool shady water.

Had to beware of bikers racing thru the tunnel especially with half the track closed. Managed to retreive and replace the cache ok. Swapped tb's over TFTC
Out night caching. Have been to this one before about a month ago. Loved Australia so much I came back here to live. New caching team formed. Took nothing but left a TB called "Wombat Crossing". Thanks for the cache Trekkers.
Found cache after a bit of searching then had scones & coffee at nearby Deep Water point cafe. A perfect morning! Thanks for the hunt.
I found it!! 11.50am
It kept me awake at nights and I had one failed attempt, but I finally found it.. my first ever geocache. Hooray!!
Took: bottle opener keychain
Left: toy green car
Thanks for the hunt.
Oh yeah, and I found Uncle Ronnie too. That one eluded me for ages!!

Had a bit of troubles today as
A) It is my first time geocaching
B) The clues are way too confusing to me!
and
C) Too many muggles around including a school group riding bikes, a fisherman and a govt. worker who saw me standing under the bridge and commented to me that it is an antique!!
I am thinking I am on the wrong side of the under-bridge as the plank I found seems to obvious and the hiding places too high.... any help?!

Decided to do a cache at night with Mal of 3BlindEyes. Nice view of the city at night. Discovered some travelers. Took nothing, signed log. Left my Pathtag. TFTC! Jodi of Team FIREBOY aka NurseGIRL
Dropped in with Jodi of Team Fireboy from the US, as she wanted to do a night cache. We enjoyed the walk around the Raffles, the river views are great at night. I took the "Ozzies Round up!" geocoin and the "New England Aquarium" TB to move along. Thanks for the cache Trekkers.
walked past here on my fishing days so many times and never thought about something being hidden here, left a geocoin and a travelbug coz ya surprised me!
Took a few minutes to find, especially as GPS signal got weak under the bridge! Nice GC though, thanks very much! Found it ohn our way back from a nice cycle up to King's Park.
Nice Hide, enjoyed gettng this without being spotted on a perfect day in late spring, weren't many muggles around or anything.

A quick find this morning with no muggles in sight! Must be a bit cool/wet for the sane ones. Mind you it's funny with the sound of the cars going overhead and the creaking timbers in the bridge!!
TNLN SL Thanks for the hunt, The Trekkers.

Easy find even though the GPS doesn't work too good in the close vicinity of the cache. It was a nice place to sit and contemplate the world. Didn't take the TB as I may not being doing any more Aussie caches for quite a while. Left George to enjoy the area.
We had first been out looking for Grandma's Radio but a forest fire had wiped that cache out. Just missed the bus towards Perth, so I ran the last 3 kilometers to find this Low Clearance cache. Looked around for about three minutes before I found it. Our 11th one while 'down under'. We are here from Norway for the World Masters Championships swimming at the Challenge Stadium. Not much nice to see at this cache, but still, thanks for the hide. We took the Travel Bug 'These boots are made for walking' out of the cache. It will show up on a different continenet within a couple weeks.
Container is almost at breaking point.
As in its hard to get the lid on without it popping off.
I would recommend taking out some of the swaps.

after having a little gps problem we came back later to this site and found it, even fooling some fishermen muggles
Found it second time. I observed someone fishing for mussels the first time so the next day I brought a bucket along to look less suspicious.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot.
I am not sure who uncle Ronnie is and there was a strange notice saying the "troll lives here" taped to a nearby pole???? But it was a great spot to sit and relax before work and a clever hide. TFTH
Found by Mary & David at 0940. Sadly, today is our last day in Perth. Beautiful sunshine and again a great view of the city skyline. Well hidden. TNLN. Our thanks to The Trekkers.
Another DNF cache found! Third time lucky with this one and I'm sure I checked out this exact spot the previous 2 times. This time I saw it easily - from the pathway - but I tucked it away again to make it somewhat less obvious. TNLN

Well this was fun! Off we set on our newly purchased bicycles and flash helmets. Lets not look too obvious now .. haven't ridden a bike for how many years?? A beautiful Autumn morning in Perth means that the entire population is walking, riding, jogging, rowing, motoring, sipping, supping or fishing on the river foreshore. It was not easy, but we walked the plank!
TN left 2x glitter glue pens. Signed log. A great cache.

This one was very deceptive. Thought it must have been a magnetic key holder so we were feeling all the metal bits and getting no where. No trouble with uncle Ronny etc and were beginning to think it had been muggled when I read in the past finds that it was a regular size cache. Poor geohubby was also doing the frozen chameleon trick every time a cyclist road past as I gave him new instructions. Bingo. Great hide - he's still chuckling about it.

Got this one on my second visit.
Felt a bit odd climbing among the bridge supports in business attire. Whenever a cyclist came past I just had to freeze, chameleon-like, until they passed. Don't think I fooled anyone though.

Came here last night but was interrupted too often. Came back today and impersonated a bridge inspector.

Well, I found Uncle Ronnie, but things weren't bonnie... Even found a potential hiding spot, but drew a blank... will be back another day.
[I had to use the clue to find this. I didn't find the Uncle Ronnie reference until after I found the cache, hehe.] I think there is a bird nest very close to the cache so please take care. One egg appears to have already been lost somehow. [TNLN, T4TH!]
Our first cache for 2007 , and what a great one it turned out to be. Took a while to find as we fixated on one particular clue. When we found Uncle Ronny the other clues made sense and the cache was found shortly after. Made no swaps, but left a TFTC card. Cheers Trekkers and all the best for the new year.
I am terribly sorry to have left the FlaMOMgo TB on this listing for so long. My appologies to all who got confused. It had a good flight with over 14,000 miles. Thanks for all who tried.
Have never gotten around to walking underneath the Canning Bridge before, so this was a good excuse to finally do so. There are plenty of muggles walking around here, but most of them go whizzing by on bikes. We thought it would be a magnetic micro, so we hunted high and low for it, until we finally decided to give up and read the cache notes and hint on the PDA, where we were surprised to read that it was a regular sized cache. We quickly found the 'Uncle Ronnie' reference, then found the cache at 7pm. There is no Travel Bug in the cache. TN-LN-SL.
Thanks for the challenging hunt Trekkers.

Found this one quite easily. Was bothered by a couple of rent-a-cops from the local building site but threw them ff the sent easily enough. FOund quite easily but you wouldn't want to be too short trying for this one.

Amazed that nobody has logged this since February!
Did not see any travel bug.
Took nothing, left blue clip, signed log.
Great location, would have been difficult without the clue, have no idea what the reference to Uncle Ronnie means!

Found easy enough. Had all these bike riders whizzing past but too fast to notice what I was doing.

Wow! This one was a little tricky. We had to decrypt the clue because we couldn't find it! There was a muggle just setting up to fish when we got there! How annoying. He was looking at as really weirdly, but then he decided to get into the water and fish and stopped watching us! So we were able to have a good look for the cache without looking like weirdos!! hahahah Found it at 7.15pm, just as the sun was setting. Myself and my friend Allen took his dog Nyx for a walk here from Deep Water Point. Nyx enjoyed a swim in the water, while we signed the log book.

Popped in to grab TB floMOMgo only to find she wasnt there! The cache was also in need of maintenance so put her under my arm and took her to work.
Container was so full, the lid was being held on by electrical tape used as a ribbon.
Cleaned out cache including log which was full. I have slapped together a temporary log book in the meantime and secured the cache container with 2 elastic bands.
I will endeavour to return cache tonight.
Importantly though THE TB IS MISSING. This cache has not been logged since 19 December...a long time. Can we have a bit of a sniff around as to who may have grabbed this and not logged it. Perhaps it is overseas visitors yet to log the find (its a long shot - but who knows).
Thanks!

It took the best part of thirty minutes to find this cache. I nearly had a wino license under the bridge. In the end it was just there!
This one took me quite a while. I worked out Low Clearance and the two rounds and walk the plank but I did not work out Uncle Ronnie. Had the basics right and was walking many planks with loads of bike riders going through. Got some strange looks. Spent well over a half hour looking when I should have been feeling. The log book is now full and there oodles of fish hooks loose in the box. Took the US$1 coin and left box of colouring pencils. The tie around the box needs replacing IMO. No one saw me locate and replace it. Couldn't believe that I got the break from through traffic at the right time.
Cant believe I missed this..it was exactly where I was "looking" all the times I have been here - I should have been "feeling" instead.
Thanks to a couple of "contacts" with help on locating this one.

1745: Once Uncle Ronnie was located the cache was found within minutes. I have a suspicion I was sprung by a muggle whilst returning the cache to it's position but I tried to act nonchalantly and left the area. Tried to keep a discreet eye from a distance for a time and although they remained seated on the wall, someone will have to visit the cache and see if all is OK.
