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.

Nice park - well worth a visit. I didn't see turtles, but there was a sailing cup going on between remote-controlled sailboats Big Grin
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.

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.

LGD and Prince Borodin
(accompanied by Lady Knickerbockers who insisted on rolling in the duck poo)

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).

Just re-logging the caches i have done under different team name (3BlindEyes)

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.

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.

07-Mar-08
Flopped around at GZ for a while before I found it. I thought of all the devious places to hide it before going with the obvious Red Face
TNLN. Cheers
 
01-Mar-08
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 Smile
 
09-Jan-08
Found with HamishM. No worries on this one except it was a rather warm day and things were hot to kneal on.

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!

Easy to find close to the waters edge nice day out in a park. TFTC TNLN
 
02-Oct-07
Dead easy cache to find because the cache is exposed and the photo sais it all. TNLNSL TFTH.
 
21-Sep-07
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.
 
15-Sep-07
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.
 
08-Sep-07
BEEN TO THIS PLAYGROUND A FEW TIMES!
THE YACHTS WERE ALL OUT IN FORCE TODAY BEING A GLORIOUS SPRING DAY!

29-Jul-07
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.
 
27-Jul-07
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.
 
24-Jul-07
An easy find. Only a few dog walking muggles to avoid. TNLN. TFTH.
 
21-Jul-07
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.
 
29-Jun-07
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!
 
24-Jun-07
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.

Amazing how many people have trouble with this one - I tried twice before but missed it both times Red Face 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.
 
19-Mar-07
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.
 
19-Mar-07
Dropped off TB 'Orvieto'

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... Smile

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.
 
28-Dec-06
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.
 
01-Nov-06
It is gone. We will replace it soon.
 
DNF. Too many muggles and a dinner party deadline to meet. Will attempt this next time I'm in town.

 
13-Oct-06
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
 
02-Sep-06
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!
