Nice hide guys we found it after a short while looking decided not to try and find the second part as we had read the logs and were not sure if it had been put back
We found part 1 today, we thought about heading to part 2 but it started raining,, Good thing we didn't try for part 2 because when we got home and read the logs and found out it had been removed. FGreat Spot for Part 1 TFTH
Found Wpt1 early in the day and went back later to find the cache. After a bit of searching, then reading previous log entries, then more searching, we finally found the cache.Its hiding place was ingenious but had been terminally compromised. Signed the log and have brought the cache container home to return to the owner. Apart from this it was an enjoyable multi. Thanks Team Landcruiser.
Found first part quite easily. Second part we had to give up on after about half an hour, the mozzies were coming out. We'll go back and try again.
I reckon I must've been there after the Guides, as there were a few overturned rocks and such that looked pretty freshly disturbed to me (my own Scout training coming out!)
I didn't time to walk up to the Mushrooms as well as finishing this, so that'll have to wait for another time (once I've built the jet-pack...)

Took the Kwinana Girl Guides out to this one. Found the first part, but had a hard time with the second bit. Looked for an hour with about 8 girls. Though we should have found it? maybe we recorded the co-ords down wrong....
Found the first part no worries but the final appears to have outsmarted me for the moment.
enjoyed the hunt and will have to go back some time soon when I am feeling less intellectually challenged

Found the fisrt part fairly quickly and set off to the next bit.
After half an hour of going round in circles it suddenly dawned on me what was going on....
Found the cache and SL.
Thanks for an entertaining time,

I must have been quite crazy to tackle this straight after I Lost My Marbles (DNF) - but it restored my sanity, despite its name.
Its been a long time since this was last found, but log is in reasonable order inside its little plastic bag.
Thanks for a great hunt, TLC.

WP1 gave me the most trouble then a nice walk to the cache. Had a poke around until I disturbed the hiding spot. The paper was damp and going mouldy so I took the 2 pieces not written on out and put in a fresh bit of paper and rummaged in my bag until I found a small zip lock bag to put the log in before replacing it in it's container. Hopefully this will keep it drier.

Yep, its us again. We have tackled a few TLC caches of late that havent had a visit in a while. The closest we got to this one was Wattleup South! Stupid me put the south co-ords in wrong and we were searching the long grass of desolate waste ground at 32.12.303!
We will be back. Its one of the few we havent found near home.

Found the cache took me to think hard approx 15 mins then found - no problem. It was long walk along to cache. I hope I have lost weigh eh. Won’t work grr.... Anyway Again thanks to TLC for cache.
Very nice walk, hearing the birds but not seeing them, guess they were hiding from the fox. Very clever hiding spot.
Pleasant walk to final location. Didn't have too much trouble finding the micro. It is still dry inside even thought the surrounding area is still quite wet.
Gwiber and I startled a fox on the way to the cache and even though it posed for us we didn't get a shot of it except for a blurry backend.
Thanks for the cache.

We found the hiding spot without the cache and then found the cache nearby. We took the waterlogged log and put in some dry paper and replaced the cache. (will pm TLC).
If this is short multi, wouldn't like to see a long one!... oh we have. Where, is the mystery.
Thanks for the hunt

Found after a nice wander through the wildflowers. Great idea for the cache. We enjoyed it.
Thanks TLC, Wayne and Jan

This was a tough nut to crack. But we finally nailed it. Good one, TLC. Reminded us of BT3, only on a smaller scale.
We drove down to the parking area..... and the cache drove us...Nuts. Even so we didnt take long to find it as we figured there was some clever twist to this one. We noticed something in place but not perfect and were careful to make sure the only thing we disturbed was our own minds. Coodinates at the final site were Perfect. And for once we forgot to take any photos. So we have nothing to upload
First stop of the day.
I decided to check stage 1 to see just where the final was.
It took a few minutes searching but Nora came up trumps and we then drove as close as we could find parking near the final and took a look at the access but it looked a bit of a mission for me on crutches so we gave up at that stage.

Found first clue without to much trouble, but the cache took a little longer. You have to be a little nuts to pull this one on. Great cache thanks guys. Wrote in log book.
A beautiful winter's day. Walked in from "Shanty Town" side of the park. CALM haven't quite finished the track works, but you could save time on a mountain bike.
First part was easy. The actual cache, well that's another story. Spent a good bit of time with several good spots that we thought it may be. It did start to drive us nuts, until yhankfully, Susy's penchant for a certain activity led us to the right spot.
Well done Team Landcruiser. A great cache!

5.00pm: Hooray, finally FOUND it!! Signed the log. We are not going to say anymore except it was a great cache and well done. Thanks, TLC.
Found on the second attempt (the first was called off because of both threatening weather and personal needs). What a great cache, in an accessible but out of sight spot! I was thinking of something along these lines myself. Thanks to Team Landcruiser for the hunt and the cache.
3 attempts had us stumped. Went there on 20/6 for half hour and couldn’t find. Sat. 26/6, Everlasting accompanied and we searched and couldn’t find. Tues. 29/6 on very wet night – passed by and decided having another go at it. Spent 40 mins in the rain and used 2 torches to shine anywhere to detect it – couldn’t find. We will come back and determined not going to give it up.
SOMEONE HAD TO FIND THIS CACHE FIRST AND IT HAD TO BE ME,
I FOUND IT TODAY ABOUT 12:30PM.
WHAT A GREAT CACHE, I LOVE IT, I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE ANYTHING AWAY SO I WON'T SAY MUCH MORE, I SIGNED THE LOG AND WENT ON TO THE NEXT, FIRST OF FIVE FOR ME TODAY.
CAPS LOCK ON, ON PURPOSE TO SHOW HOW GREAT THIS IS.
THANKS TLC WELL DONE.

The gang hit this one at dawn today. Found the first clue no problems but the second had us stumped for a couple of hours. We heard the destinctive sound of troopers near the lake and so departed quickly. We will be back as FTF
