No joy for us today...except a great cuppa at the nearby cafe and fun times at the playground.
Sad to Say this was the 1st DNF of the night. Had a good look at the obvious locations but we either missed it, GPS was off or its been muggled
Found at 12:45PM on the 6th of June by Ray and Maya. We continue our walk, spreading our horizons as we unwind after an energetic evening of Square Dancing at the Loftus centre. Thanks for bringing us here. Lovely location. TNLN. Thanks for the cache. The Nomads
Found the place but thats all! Nice spot, We think it's time to do something to get this up and running again.

Well, we found the plastic bag. The cache seems to be gone. We have taken pictures which we can provide, but as we are on the road, maybe in 4 weeks time at worst.
Thanks anyway.

Woot. GPS went crazy with the trees and started pointing to the waypoint in all directions. Managed to find it by some smart looking by perrycom jnr.
Left a TB. Cache is quite damp and needs a new log book so couldn't sign....
Nice spot tho.

TeamTuba and I (visiting from Melbourne) found this after a brief search.. nice park, unfortunately we did not see any turtles, just some birds. TFTC, TNLN.
Found after a search. Took Ear ring left spider. Log book wet needs replacing. TFTC
Nice park - well worth a visit. I didn't see turtles, but there was a sailing cup going on between remote-controlled sailboats
The logbook is full and soaked. I managed somehow in scratching my name on back cover, but maintenance is urgently needed.

Found the cache on a beautiful day. Had to dodge plenty of muggles. Took badge. Left sticker and die.
Mühsame Sucherei in diesem nicht gerade Haut freundlichen Gebüsch und hinter der Mauer hat’s gefährlich viel Wasser. Cache gefunden und geloggt, nun muss ich das Bike bis 17.00 Uhr zurück bringen und Luftlinie ist über 12 KM bis dort hin. Von dort geht es noch gemütlich zurück zum Hotel. Besten dank fürs Verstecken.

A quick easy find. A lovely dam but nearly got carried away by the mozzies. Dropped coin. Greetings from South Africa.
Found at 1035 hours, nice park stayed here for about an hour just enjoying the area.

Wonderful thing to do on Fathers' day.

Grabbed this cache with first time cache Cambo who lives just across the lake and road! Beautiful Park this. Lots of people around today. Thanks
A great little location and after a chat to a few dog owners it was off for a quick find at 0920hrs. Didn't see any turtles today but enjoyed the views anyway. Thanks for taking me there.

Quick find that has been on our list for about 18 months.
This one had been disturbed and the containr and the contents had been spread over the ground. We repaired it but might be worth looking at it again.
Didnt see the TB either.

Found with "Prince Borodin" (son). Only our third cache. Due to (new) GPS diffculties (mostly with users brain) we didnt find this on first visit. Lovely Sat morning with few muggles to dodge - we found it. A great hiding spot. But a warning - dont wear your good shoes - lots of duck poo about.
Took: Flexy sticky hand. Left: Coca Cola Polar Bear.
Cache is getting very full (hard to restuff all the goodies).
Thanks for the hunt/cache to Three Generations.

Well I was sure I had been here before but my GPSr said otherwise, I was right. Whilst I was there I took: TB Monkayo. rehid the cache as it was becoming exposed (same spot just reset).
Another very nice suburban lake hadn't been to before. Great spot. We enjoyed a walk around and after a quick search, Ursula beat me to the cache and found it at 1:20pm while I was looking in another likely spot. TN-LN-SL. Thanks for the cache 3 Generations.
Have looked for this one previously and when I found it I thought How idid I miss that.

Second time searching for this cache and eventually found it, as there are no signs as to where it is hidden.
Had to wait for people to leave before I could replace the cache.

No sign of it. 3 of us searching (have easily found 3 others so far), but we're still relative newbies, so it could be us
Found with HamishM. No worries on this one except it was a rather warm day and things were hot to kneal on.

Found after a couple of minutes searching. Had to time it between muggles. Lovely area. Dropped off Pinkie TB. TFTH.
Arrived from Toronto today and this was closest to 'home' location. First cache in Perth. Found with Elaine and Geraldine. SL. Many thanks.
Had a bit of a hunt for this one. Figured we were in the right area - just couldn't put our finger on it - so to speak. GeoSon finally found it - whilst I was on muggle lookout! TNLN SL Thanks for the hunt 3 Generations. And what a lovely park too!
Found easily after a nice walk around the lake, did not see any turtles but there were a lot of little ducklings. Took:Eraser, Left Snap Hand. TFTC
Cache is still there, in an obvious place. Didn't see any turtles though

Dead easy cache to find because the cache is exposed and the photo sais it all. TNLNSL TFTH.
Found by Mary & David at 1230. Loved this place. Lots of birds about and a wonderful day continues. Guess the white buoys are for model yachts to race around. Pleased to hear that you have 3 generations involved in geocaching. All our three children are cachers, and our baby granddaughter already has her own caching name and a few finds. TNLN. Our thanks once more to 3 Generations.
A quick find on the Perth trip. Previous log was by a muggle who had found it and works at lake who had left a photo on 11/9. Comments like he had no idea what it was but it looked cool. TNLNSL, thanks 3 Generations.
BEEN TO THIS PLAYGROUND A FEW TIMES!
THE YACHTS WERE ALL OUT IN FORCE TODAY BEING A GLORIOUS SPRING DAY!
NICE EASY FIND!

It’s amazing who you bump into in a playground. Lovely spot for the locals and visitors like me. Clear skies, TeamAstro. [^]
Despite the mosquitoes found the cache and took "Bendigo Boomerang" TB. Left US coin. TFTC.
before locating cache had to watch the model yachts for 30mins until all clear

Thought we looked in all the likely spots. Was a bit wet and dark by the time we arrrived. Will try on a sunny day.
Found this one along with a potential GeoCacher in an introductory session. (He had to do the searching as I had a knee injury!) We found 2 out of 3 and I think he's hooked and will probably appear on the radar soon under the guise of "Blingg". TFTH
Retrieved Missouri Hawthorn GC. Placed Bendigo Boomerang TB. Took Eraser, Left Cairns Key Ring.

Started off the day with coffee and cake at the nearby coffee shop then a stroll around a very pretty little lake. It was raining quite hard so there was no one else to contend with making it an easy retrieval. The white cockies up the tree were very wet and filthy dirty but still very noisy. Now on to Herdsman's Lake for a bit of a "John Howard". TN Left a travel bug.
PS We don't recommend you use the conveniences for a while, they have been smashed up.

Tried to find this earlier in the evening but the cloud cover was playing havoc with the GPSr. Found a few other caches in the area and then came back later when the sky had cleared up a bit. Lovely little lake. TFTH!
What a great place for turtles to play. An easy find.
TNLN Thanks for the hunt, 3 Generations.

found this one easily and as it was our first, was very exciting. Took a clicker and left several things as cache seemed to be getting low.
Flat ground, easy walking.

A couple of rubberneck grannies couldnt keep their eyes off me but between arthritic neck turns I was able to offload geocoin.
Found with Baldivis Settlers on our cache quest. Great location. TFTH TN Left calling card SL
Amazing how many people have trouble with this one - I tried twice before but missed it both times But AAAaargghhh! I wanted to leave TB:Frank here for a swim but no room in the cache - Oh well - some other watery spot will have to do.
Beautiful spot to sit on a hot day in the shade of the trees. Lots of feathers! Took TB Nacaya, and will bring it to see other birds somewhere down south.
Nearly gave up on this one, but found it at the last moment.
Nice little lake, and today there were a number of radio controlled sail boats making the most of the windy conditions.

Came by this morning and searched high and low for over half an hour, dodging countless muggle dog walkers, but couldn't find the cache.
Came back this afternoon and spotted it immediately in a spot I had looked this morning...
Left Nacaya GC, took nothing, T4TH!

Last cache find for 2006, took me a L O N G time to locate it. Mainly because I had one eye for the cache and one eye for the geokiddie who was determined to go diving with the turtles! TNLNSL TFTH 3 Generations, Happy New Year.
Sorry this has been out a while but it is now back with a new container and logbook.
After hunting high and low we finally gave up. Upon returning to Geraldton we note that it was temporarily out of action. Ah well next time perhaps.
DNF. Too many muggles and a dinner party deadline to meet. Will attempt this next time I'm in town.
I spend over 15 Mins looking around at this GZ, and being an experianced cacher I would like to think if it is there I would have found it. Needs to be checked
Found it.
Didn't see any Turtles but did see a lot on muggles. Stopped to watch a bit of the sailing boat racing.

Regularly visit this wonderful park but didn't know there was a cache here. Or turtles for that matter (although I expected there probably were). Took Lion Thing left sunscreen (thanks Andrew). Am amazed none of the local dogs have located it previously. Thanks!
