Found it. TFTC TEAM LANDCRUISER. Happy to make a find here on this golden oldie, replaced as found.
In the area grabbing some caches on what has turned out to be a beautiful morning once the rain has disappeared. Love these old mossed covered trees. Took a while to get the correct way in but once at gz we made a nice quick find. We signed your log and returned your cache back to where it resides. TFTC TEAM LANDCRUISER.
Found with axell33. We took a while to get to gz, but finally made the find. Such a beautiful day to be out in the bush, especially after the rain. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Baldivis.
Found this very cool container. Full of treasures. All three kids love this. Didn’t have anything to leave but will return with some treasure and stock it up for the kids to come. Team Jono griff and kids
I come up here to ride the Samseb mountain bike trail that I found on trail forks. Unfortunately the trail is heavily overgrown and neglected. It’s a shame. I did find the Six Pegged Tree stump and I was that impressed I placed a cache near by.
I love finding big caches like this one in plain site. My second ammo can and favourite point given today. TFTC

Found a access toad that got us close enough to GZ for a pleasant walk into the cache.
Once we got close enough Mr T told me where the cache would be and we put away the phone.
We walked around and checked all the hide spots and he was right on the money pulling out a great sized cache.
It’s fantastic to find such an old cache in such amazing condition, a favourite coming from me.
Thanks TEAM LANDCRUISER for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1922 for me.

An early morning getup to meet ooh yeh for a FTF at Woodman Point after doing reconnaissance the night before and working out we needed a ladder!
After grabbing the FTF, I organised with Cravo to head down to Jarrahdale to cleanup the last of the civilisation caches that we had missed on previous visits. All managed to be picked up quite quickly including our nemesis cache ecology that had taken four or so visits.
Managed to grab the two of the three tree people caches and another nearby wetlands experience which was a lovely walk, unfortunately Cravo busted a plugger on the walk and had to go barefoot!
We were just on our way into Mundijong and saw a bunch of caches get published so tried for some FTFs but got beaten to them all.
We then made our way to the Team Red Roo event in Mundijong for their 15th caching birthday, unfortunately I had to leave early to be in Claremont for a birthday.

A day out in the geoPajero exploring and picking up a few caches. A very nice walk around the wetlands area. Cache all in good condition. SL TFTC Team Landcruiser.
After doing a few caches in Roleystone we headed towards Jarrahdale for a drive a couple of caches.
On our way down to Albany on saturday so we didnt have time to do the full walk around the wetlands! A nice and easy find everything nice and dry, left an extag for the next cacher! Thanls for the hide!
Great to find such and old cache in a great location. Nice to finally grab this one after driving past so many times.

Out looking for a good place to hide a new series and stopped to find a few. Love the medium hides! I was standing right next to cache when geonephew yelled out found it! Thanks for the hide!
In the area, took a moment to grab a couple of caches. Nice location, thanks for the hide!
Originally found under family caching name clan-wallace, now re logging under own name.
I am no tree expert but then that ain't a Wattle Tree....more like a Paperbark Tree, perhaps it's been moved (the cache not the tree). Disturbed a Mamma Roo with her Joey nesting by the cache. Don't know who got the biggest surprise them or us. Took a TB. TFTC
A very enjoyable cache find with geodaughter on Xmas Eve. The geoJazz handled the road well and the walk was pleasant. Quick find of a nice ammo cache amongst natural cammo. Found a path tag and left 2 (path tag and a special Christmas Blinki Bill mini extagz).
Thanks for the cache TEAM LANDCRUISER, worth a fave from me.

After checking out potential locations for a new cache decided to stop and grab this one on the way home with M4YB. We were greeted by a mob of Roos on arrival and after a short walk the cache was soon spotted. What a lovely cache that is well stocked. Dropped of a TB and will award this cache a fav point not only for the cache but the location as well. TFTC Team Landcruiser
Aaah, so that's what a Wattle tree looks like! Great for a 1st timer, pretty spot and nice to have an up and personal interaction with a passing echidna!
Another great walk to find an awesome cache. Got back to the car just before the rain. TFTC.
I love finding these old caches and to see the original logbook from 2004 intact was a bonus. An added bonus is an ammo can.
Managed to park about 50 metres from GZ and walked in from there.
TEAM LANDCRUISER - Kyzabra found your cache Wetlands Experience on 19/08/2015 This is my find #3565 The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Always the way hard path in easy path out! Once again this was the case! Maybe I'll learn to take the right path one day till then ... Great cache took tb and left a pathtag!
Thanks for the cache

Pleasant walk around wetlands, doesn't appear to get many visitors though except trail bike riders. Left trackable Turtle Beach which we found at Broke NSW. Help him find Turtle Beach! Hint- Not exactly a wattle tree? Thanks for cache.
Quick find thanks to the descriptions in the logs. Swapped 2 cars for a pony and a watch. Thanks for bringing us here
I headed out to this atrea nice and early this morning with our geodog. Although it was VERY cold (minus 3 at one point) it was an enjoyable morning walking and grabbing smileys. A nice easy find here and the cache and contents are in good condition. TFTC TEAM LANDCRUISER
Left one of our signature tags for the next finder.

Out exploring the bush (and of course finding some caches ) with my family... Mum found this one! We love finding ammo boxes... TFTC TEAM LANDCRUISER
Heading to Jarrahdale SF for the day, this was our first stop off. We managed to navigate the red rocket to within about 30m of GZ, and it didn't take long to track the generously sized ammo tin down . The kids had fun checking out the abundant amount of swaps, but none were made.
After returning the cache to it's hiding spot, we made our way to the nearby birdwatching platform to check out some wildlife, but i think the noise of our two youngins' are enough to scare away most things living

Spent a sunny spring Sunday with Happy Jacks 55 doing the bush ranger series on Albany Highway, Jarradale and picking up a few stragglers on SW Highway on the way home.
Mrs Peeted refused to look for this cache because she believed snakes infest the area. After finding the cache near a paperbark, (not a wattle) Happyjacks55 leading the way out of the bush stepped over a large tiger snake and sent it slithering between my legs to safety. Fortunately I was two feet in the air at the time and rising so no harm done to me or the snake. TFTC

This is a fantastic spot to gain a quick find. The day of our visit was rainy, so MadPac Mum and the three geokids (including our newborn, on his first caching adventure) waited in the car while I jogged to the GZ and made the find.
We'll definitely be coming back here again on a day with better weather so we can have a proper look at the boardwalk and wetlands. And there's definitely plenty more caches around here to make the trip even more worthwhile!
Retrieved the Old Key TB, signed the log, and jogged back in the rain to the car.

TFTC TEAM LANDCRUISER. This one has been on our Jarrahdale list for awhile but we are usually short of time to do the 40 minute walk. Today was the day. It's a shame that there isn't any water to speak of and therefore no waterbirds to see, but the walk is pleasant enough. Found the cache without any dramas. Signed log and left 'Old Keys' TB. Cache in good order and lots of goodies inside. Re-hid right on GZ.
Beautiful day for a treasure hunt. "Wow!" said the kids as they opened the lid. Nice spot.

Back out here again, this time with geobuddy and better caching eyes, hopefully. Quick find today - how did I miss it?? TNLN, TFTC
My only DNF for the day. Found the stump, found the wattle tree, but didn't find the cache. Oh well, will have to try another day.
PS No ticks found yet either!! Thank goodness for that, as I seem to have an allergy to the little blighters...

Found it with Skippy46 and oohyeh after a few minutes of 'frantic' searching to be FTF in our group Nice area that we wouldn't have come to otherwise. As always in this kind of area though, watch out for ticks!
On a cacheee hunt and didn't get a chance to look around but it looks like a intersting place to look around ....
This was a very nice walk in an area we didn't know of - very unexpected. Found the cache easily enough although the acacias mentioned in the hint no longer shelter the container.
After checking ourselves when we got home, both of us plus the geo-pooch had to be de-ticked.

Followed the green lawn to get there and all got ticks! Check yourselves!!

Finding this one was a little harder as the CO's were a bit out but the hint helped and with my knowledge of the flora, the cache was soon found. It was certainly interesting out there as a concert was going on nearby. They were camped everywhere and the music was loud, we had heard it up at Blue rock cache! SL TFTC TLC
Cache # 400 for us

So many stumps and so many wattles near GZ but in the end we found the correct one

Nice area but seemed to be on the dry side in parts, a lot of the boardwalks had no water under them even with the rain we have had over recent weeks
TFTC Took tape and TB left small rabbit.

Thanks welcomed by red tailed black cockatoos,still dry took a while to actually find it,grabbed a tennis ball for the dog and the kids left a Wiggles Book.
Not a lot of wet in this wetlands experience but hopefully some good rains will change that soon. Easy find as the type of tree in the hints isn't often found in the bush. Went straight to it. TFTC TNLN SL
The path was a little more convoluted than expected but was retrieved quickly on arrival to GZ. This sure would be amazing in the winter, but at the moment its very vacant. I'll have to revisit with my binoculars in a few months! TFTC
Took a little while to get to gz after approaching from wrong direction, left Cadell's Travel Bug
Geohubby found it after a bit of scramble around. Lovely spot, hopefully some rain soon so it all greens up TFTC, geokids swapped a matchbox car and took the parrot.
A great spot, and an easy drive up to the GZ, nice and pleasant in the forest today. It took a little while to find the cache, the GPSr was a little erratic, but I searched the area and was not getting closer, a read of the previous logs made me think, and yes, there it was. SL TNLN TFTH
This one was a fair bit off, pretty hard to find.We had not been here for a long time.thanks..Champstarr...TFTH
Found after a short walk through beautiful bushland.
Cache had not been logged since July and was very exposed - we saw the ammo box from about 20 metres away!
Have now hidden it a little better. . .

Cache was 8 meters from where it should have been and not quite as the clue descibed. I left it where it was anyway as its easy enough to find
awesome place, really enjoyed the nature walk ... will be coming back to this place again for sure. TSLS TFTH SL
Although dry this time of year, this was a very enjoyable walk to the cache, we did the full circuit..it was great.

First find for the day - out with Bashers Bunch. Nice easy walk - took the Bounce Ball left water pistol.
Geokids found this after going the long way round. Took looney tunes box and left bouncy ball. TFTH
Thanks for the interesting walk. We always love the caches with a walk trail, makes the sport all that much more interesting. Geo Mum and Kye spotted this one.

Called past after not finding 'Never judge a brook by its cover'
It was a nice easy find. Squatted down and signed the log as I listened to the frogs calling to each other.
Surprised a couple of muggles as I blundered out of the bush back onto the track, Just smiled said hi and walked on in the other direction.

Surprisingly for this time of year there is very litte water around in these wetlands. Lovely patch of forrest to wander in even so. Took TB. Thanks for the hunt, Team Landcruiser.
Today is AlliedOz B'day and what did he wish for? Caching and lots of it! So an Annual Leave day was booked at work and an early start to head down south for a full days walking and better yet caching!
We stumbled across this one (no really, AlliedOz fell again *Hard* twice in about 20 minutes! sigh,)
Such a nice area, it was very green with all the recent rain. Thanks for bringing us to this area.
Dropped off Dave the Koala TB after having him for too long.
Grabbed Nibblers Nature trek TB
