Main peaking at Butler's View Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
By Aushiker on 15-Aug-04. Waypoint GCK991

As I was up here today checking on Freo Folic, I took another look at the options for this cache. Given its location and the general state of the park at the eastern end (pretty shocking) I have decided to archive this cache. The nicer part of the park can still be enjoyed as Freo Folic is here and I am sure it will be back up soon.

Called by today to check on things, given two DNF. Whilst the area where the cache was hidden has not been subject to any gardening activities, the cache has gone. I will think about the best options for this cache and make a decision in a week or so.

Searched for over an hour, all scratched up from looking in prickle bushes. Couldn't find it. GZ wasn't at the peak so went searching there too but still no luck. Thought we would have another crack at Freo Frolic but the grounds people were spraying herbicide right near the site. Might try this one again if we can get some feedback from Aushiker about if it is still there. Colin & Emily. Nice view West!

Couldn't find. Searched for about an hour. Looks like theres been some tree planting.

Great place, thanks for placing the cache there.

Found easy after jumping the fence and leaving behind half my jeans. Took game, Left stamp texta. Thanks for the walk and the hunt.

First GZ had me going around and around the wrong bush. An ammo box cannot be that hard to find. Suddenly gz moved and there it was. With views too. Lovely early in the morning.

It would have been quicker if I walked the opposite way around GZ.

12:55 GPSr put me within 4m but I still made a meal of the hunt. 3 kidz 3 swaps SL TFTH

Did an impromptu performance of the R&J balcony scene for the boys at the nearby ampitheatre that's under construction, little buggas booed me off stage.

Found the cache at 3.55pm - no probs, nice view also lovely warm weather for the day. TNL-calling card. SL Thanks for the hunt.

After the Freo Frolic we´ve found the cache without any problems.

Greetings, Thomas & Birgit (Germany)

Found this after finding another cache nearby... Me & nations were thirsty & very dehydrated. Nowhere to get a drink unless we start knocking on doors??..

Took awhile to find the cache as coordinate were not spot on..extended search area & viola! Its a big one! Heard voices nearby & so we acted like lost tourist incase anyone got suspicious...

Now for the long hike out to find some drinks!! nations got us a thankful hitchike to the main road & so we took a scenic walk back to town...TFTC!

not a soul in sight... nor cache... [8)]
we'd been findin caches so easily that we were gettin concerned that this might have been muggled after 3 mins
pathseeker thrilled me when he found e cache... off e co-ordinates i must say... but a find's a find right?
took marbles & left sunglasses... now 4 water!!
hitched a ride 2 main road & trugged in2 city area... now remind me again why i always bring a bottle of water on cachin trips pathseeker?

Whew found it at last. Got ourselves into a bit of trouble while looking for this one. Didn't take the cache details with us and ended up on the golf course, where we were very very aburptly greeted by the golf course leasee. He lost the plot with us completely every after we explained what we where up to, that we were sorry and were trying to leave. Even wanted to call the police. Never mind not all muggles are friendly like us geocachers.
Make for an exciting cache and hunt for the inlaws that we took with us for the first time to share our hobby, not sure if they will be in a hurry to venture out with us again after that little incident.
Thanks guys for the hunt.

Took ball and insulation tape
Left pkt of coloured chalk and toy game.

Moved right on from Freo Frolic.

Seventh cache today!

[:d] We wanted to grab the Travel Bug to take with us to the North West of Western Australia. Searched at night time to avoid anyone seeing us.

Our feet got a bit wet in the long grass but the discomfort was certainly worth it! What a great cache! Full of lots of goodies.

We took: Fridge Magnet, Bike Bell, Blue Dog and of course the Travel Bug!

Left: Foam Plane, Plastic Binnoculars and a Toy Pony.

Great walk & terrific view. No flying golf balls
Took fish in bottle Left Insulation tape

Dropped in to drop off "Tim The Turtle" TB who wants to keep heading south.

It was raining but cache was in good condition, dry and well stocked with goodies.

Managed to dodge the golf balls as we were on a mission to grab 'Go Kitty go' TB. Being a BIG "Hello Kitty' fan I was very excited to get my hands on this TB and will find some where interesting for her to continue her travels. A pleasant walk to this cache and plenty of booty to choose from.

The Bear_Left Touring Co transferred me safely to this location (one of many) as I went about my WA cache marauding madness!

Another interesting bit of land, there seem to be quite a few nice general purpose parks around.

We passed a few wasps and hornets, but not many and not stroppy ones.
After signing the log and flinching at the "Hello Kitty", we went to the tee and enjoyed the view. Then took the more direct route down the hill to the car.

Called by to dropp off Go Kitty Go! Travel Bug. Cache is in good condition and no sign of wasps.

Found by Team GeoCoopers.
Stopped to do the nearby Freo Frolic placed by another SA geoacacher. Saw that this one was only a few hundered metres away so grabbed this one as well. No wasps either. (#663)
Thanks AusHiker

2nd complete one of the day, quite a nice walk.

No wasps in area were seen.
Nice area to walk around.

No wasps out at all - maybe because it's only 8am? No nasty greensmen either. I was relieved to find the cache was more like 50cm rather than 50 mm .

Thanks Aushiker - M@

Great cache...BAD spot. When searching for this cache, i was attacked by a swarm of about 30 wasps, who had formed a nest not 2 metres from this cache. Also, i found another nest about 5 metres away. TAKE GREAT CAUTION HERE. I am lucky because i am not allergic and was only stung three times, however allergic people (children in particular) may not be so lucky. I will be suggesting that this cahce be moved to a safer area.

We met a very stressed out golf club steward who got very annoyed at the thought of anyone crossing on to HIS property, he was threatening to sue us, if we went inside HIS fences... needless to say we walked on until he was out of sight and then went to grab the cache. TNLNSL.
Thanks for this one, it was more challenging than we expected !
The Coastway Cruisers.

As I was in the area undertaking maintenance on Freo Frolic I dropped by to check the cache and to resupply it with new goodies. All full to the top again. Enjoy.

As with TRD I followed on to this one after "Freo Frolic".

Good views from up there and it's so close to that nice little park.

When we got things right... found it very quickly. TN L2 golf balls we picked up on the way.

Found it and then spent more time pulling out the spear grass from socks and toes. Quite a different experience to spinifex!! haha.

An easy cache to find in a place we didnt realize existed.

thanks

Found with Scytale on our trip south of the river. A gentle walk up from the car. We found this at 15:20

Just fixing up the bug Yorshire meet.

I have placed Yorkshire meet in "Main peaking at Butler's View" but I placed it there before I took note of the number, sorry for the confusion
if some one finds this would they please send me the number thanks.
Andrew

First find for the day, nice easy walk up to near the golf course, find the cache after a little while, I thought it was out in the open a bit and someone looking for a lost ball might find it.
left Yorkshire TB
thanks

Found cache... few prob's cos it was getting dark, but we soldiered on. Must come back to see what view is like!!! Took "Aussie Chook" TB - left marbles and our calling card. Thanks. 19:00

Hi

In light of Westy Clan's DNF, I did a quick check Friday night and yep it is there. Took the opportunity to drop off Aussie Surfer Chook TB.

Andrew

Sorry to say but we were unable to find this one. We thought that it was going to be easy with all the previous tracks around. Not to be, maybe we are blind. Time will tell if it is still there. Thanks for the search and the nice view from up on the hill

Nicely stashed and a good find! T:N L:N. BTW the bottle opener was a good idea and will have to come back with something worthy to replace it with

We followed the paths as suggested but we did wonder about stray balls from the golf course. Theres lots of work going on nearby it will be nice to see the final results. We took a photo so we can compare it in future years. The Fennel near the cache site was pleasant smelling and we managed to go home with the odour of it all over our hands. We took the keyring and added 3 Tazos. Today was a glorious Perth spring day so we had been to "Left Bank" pub for a bit of lunch. Fantastic food but no beers on tap, its all bottles only. We recommend the Seafood Tasteing plate just perfect for a large snack for two people. Yummmmm.

Thanx 4 XRsize...

If you come here from Freo Frolic, you don't have to climb the fence, there's a path a few meters up that branches off and backtracks to the cache. You just have to walk a few meters more. T: Stress ball L: Pen, hair accessories, and a few other things. It's a big ammo box! Thanx for a great cache.

I must have just mised The Cache Rangers as foot prints were stil visable.T.N. L. Caling card Thanks THE TREKKERS

Took the boys for a hunt after work (found at 6pm). Knew the area well as had walked the exact same route to Butler's View about 2 months ago. Nice place for a walk.
Boys were so excited when we got home we had trouble getting them to bed.
T: power clipper, L: stress ball

Hi

Just a comment. It is not necessary to climb the fence. Tracks lead to the vicinty of the cache.

Andrew

Nice quick walk but wasn't sure about the last 20m..climbed over the fence. Great spot,good hide(hard to see). tnx for this spot. TNLCC

found today with the help of dad. was happy to find Skrek in the box so took him with me

found today with ozzy babe

Hey what a great spot for a first cache. Today was a wet winters day with several heavy rain fronts passing over in the early afternoon. I managed to get in and out between the showers and stay dry. T: thermal blanket,L: bottle opener. Congratulations to Aushiker for a great spot and a great cache. Keep up the good work.

Found with GG and Devar after driving around and basically ending up where we left off.

"Logging now because i forgot to log back in August"

Found at ~8:30PM on a damp night. The grass was so wet that my feet got wet inside my shoes! Easy find with wot and Gogetter. Thanks for the hunt! Before finding this cache we got Freo Frolic, but before going after this one we drove around the entire reserve and then parked in the exact same spot we parked at to find this cache...

Beep Beep 1st to find. Looked like a herd of elephants had been through the area looking for it. The ammo box is a great idea, natural camoflage. Well done for a 1st cache. I was looking right at it from about 600mm and completely missed it. Didnt get hit by any golf balls

Found this one after following Oz's footprints through the long wet grass
Great first cache Aushike and it looks like this park is going to get some major improvements over the next few months with the amphitheatre under construction and new site works everywhere, should be something special when completed.

Thanx for the hunt Aushike.

I was nearly going out to find this cache last night, however due to other commitments. I put my money on Oznaturist and TLC to FTF. Alas, no prize for me. This morning I followed the well trodden through the wet long grass. Congrats to Aushiker for his first cache being placed. TN L: Aussie Rock Classic CD and key ring. Thanks for great view, cache and the hunt, Aushiker.
