Initial cache in the sequence now missing. Disabling until we can reconstruct the entire cache.

Dropped by here while I was in the area. The coords on the container at WP2 are almost unreadable, and the log sheet inside is very damp.
Grabbed the TB as it has been here for a while. Thanks for the cache and the walk!

On a walk from our temporary home we search for wp1 for nearly 45 minutes without luck. As for others, the coords were 7 meters away from the "hint"-location. Nice walk anyway with some up- and down-hills easy for us used to a very mountainios iland. TFTW (thanks for the walk).

Found it at last!

We had searched for the final cache back in October 08... no luck. We were just passing by today, thought we'd take a quick look -- and there it was:-) We must have almost stepped on it, back in October... Oh well

[Took a bit and lots of walking. First way point can be a bit tricky, it wasn't located where the hint suggests.]

At the exact same co-ordinates, look a bit higher up than the hint suggests

[2nd waypoint the log was soggy and couldn't removed from the container. The co-ordinates were very fade but managed to decypher the correct co-ords from it.]

Nice hide, nice place (love those hills!!!)

Took some finding, additional hint probably needs a reveiw (see K-Maximus's notes for further info) and the 2nd hide needs some maintenance (bearly readable and very very soggy). Otherwise great hide, cheers.

First was okay... Second container had water inside, getting hard to read coordinates. Never found the third/final cache. Nice area though!

Found WP1 at 1315 hours, Found WP2 at 1330,But did not find the final cache.
WP2 log is very damp.
Still enjoyed the area, even in the passing showers.
Thanks.

Perfect winter's day for a hike around these dunes. We should echo Urch1949's comments - the co-ords have gone from the outside of the micros and log 2 was absolutely sodden. We tried to dry it out but it would have taken too long. (The desiccant has disappeared from this one.) Fortunately the written co-ords were still quite legible. I searched for a while in all the wrong GZ places but Lady UltraVet nailed it. SLTN Left Casino chip. TFTH

Walking past the cache this morning and decided to grab the GC and move it on

First of a few long multis today - will sleep well tonight. [xx(] Didn't have problems with coords till got to GZ - presumed that it would be in the 'obvious spot' where my GPS said 0m, but after widening the search, found it just as about to give up.
TN Left For Whom the Bells Toll to start its WA travels.
Thanks for a great hunt through a lovely patch of bushland, Team Lympago.
PS Forgot to mention that the WP containers no longer have the coords on the outside (rubbed off?), and the 'log' on the inside of WP2 is quite damp and part of the coords is missing.

[Australian Branch] Really enjoyed this one tramping all over a much loved reserve where we have been taking our dogs for walks for years. Felt good to know the area so well and envision where the waypoints would be.
TNLN, TFTH.

Yep, my WPT1 coords pointed 8-10m away from the tanks, down the path where no waypoint could be hidden.

Without any GPSr assistance, the hint basically only narrows it down to anywhere in the ruins!

Not having MBL's patient searching with me, I gave up and wandered back down and up the path (was it that steep on the way up?!), to return with the other half of the Bear_Left team sometime.

Isn't it time to re-visit these coords, after multiple comments about their inaccuracy, hmm?

I went looking for this one after my PDA had died and so I had no idea that it was a multi. Arrived at GZ and searched for a cache, and obviously didn’t find one. Later that day (with a recharged PDA) while reading the notes I noticed that the first waypoint is in an area where I discovered the largest Brown snake I have seen for a long time,. He was laying dormant, coiled up asleep in amongst the ruins. His midsection would have easily measured 50mm in dia. (see pics), so FUTURE SEARCHERS BEWARE

Revenge - finally got it!
It was not so hard after all to find the first WP once you realized where to look.
Second WP found easy, final cache also not to hard to find.
Took Tigger, left pelican.

We had found the two waypoints on an earlier occasion and came back tonight to find the cache, but with rapidly fading light it turned out to be more difficult than we expected. Needed to have someone shed some light on the subject for us, so we phoned a friend (The Hallows) to get a clue. Found the cache quickly then. TNLNSL. Walking back along the track in the near dark we were startled by an owl that flew very close past us, and then followed us for some metres down the track. Thanks Team Lympago.

The coordinates showed a bit away from the location for the first WP. Even with the help of the hint I could not find the WP.

Have had this one sitting in the file for a while now so I thought this arvo - with GeoSon in tow - might be a good opportunity for a stroll and a search. Now I know what you mean by up hill and down dale - geez - there's some serious steep hills hidden away in this little bit of bushland! Had a bit of a struggle finding Part 1 at the water tanks but once located we were soon on our way. Located Part 2 easily and so onwards to the end. Scrambled around for ages - to the point of giving up - looking in all the "obvious" places. As were heading off GeoSon pipes up with a - here it is!! Geez I hate that!!
DEPARTED : Snail Trail TB
ARRIVED : Nothing
Thanks for the hunt Lympago

Despite being pretty well prepared, that is, i had the previous logs with me, plenty of time and had decrypted the clue. I still couldnt find WP1 [:i] Like others my GPS Took me some metres away from where the clue seemed to indicate i should be looking, but i checked out as many likely areas as i could think of, even the wall remains some way back behind the tanks.

Frustration got the better of me, that, and the unwillingness to flatten "too' much more grass in my search, saw me return uphill and downdale to my car...I will return another day.

Second time lucky.plenty of quondongs on the bushes (they make great jam ). biro wouldn't write ,left a pencil for log writing

took carabina
left pill box and snail trail tb

Gee, then the birds. Pics.
Then saw a mum and a pram. Brave mum who does not require Gym membership.
Tanks for the cache(s) and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Found all three caches. Very nice area and challenging enough. Took "walk in your shoes" and left tiger. There was some water in the cache. Poured it out and dried the items. The log book needs a new biro. Hopefully everything stays dry now.

Great cache in a great remnant bushland. Thanks TNLN

Replaced container and log sheet for initial point, added 3rd leg to outside of second point. Added desiccant to both micro stages.

A day nice for a walk and a bit of (almost) overdue maintenance.

Couldent realy be bother looking for the cache after walking up and down thoze bl00dy hills. !!! Come on people.. Look after my ageing body and place ones closer to parking spots !!

[This entry was edited by wot on Thursday, May 03, 2007 at 6:00:13 AM.]

Hmmm couldn't find waypoint 1. GPS put me about 10m SE of the tanks in the bushes, so no hope. Might want to consider updating WP1 for some better accuracy? Or is it just me... :S
Next time!

Went to try this with Devar and wot, Could not find the first WP. Dodgy Devar and his misinformation! Will come back another time with better intel, lighting and less of an appetite.

We enjoyed a long walk from home in search of our first cache. A piece of history we did not know existed in this area. TFTH.

Bella Vista

Decided to finish this as last time I ran out of time after the first waypoint. T:The Hulk L:N

Had a nice stroll around. I needed the hint for WP1 as the GPSr was putting me in the wrong spot. WP2 was easy and GZ took a while as again the arrow was pointing to the wrong spot. Swapped trackables.

SL TNLN t4th

Still on my mission of swapping TBs. 2nd for today.
A nice walk in this area.
In: Lavender Duck TB
Out: Extreme Ellen.
Cheers for the cache.

nice walk with the family, i live close to here yet havent been in years. spent ages looking for that first one, but everything else fell into place after.
took nothing
left extreme ellen TB (seemed appropriate for those hills)
the cache is getting a tad full, plenty of geo-junk

Our batteries failed last week after part 2 so we came back today to finish this We had a gentle walk to GZ from the car and after a short search we had the cache. We walked back the flat way
Took geocoin
T4TC
Zensunni

Only had the starting coordinates and no other info on this one today and had forgotten that this was a multi so was a little heavily dressed for the prolonged hill and dale walk on a muggy day. Still the walk was interesting and towards the end the sea breeze picked up and cooled me down with a brief rain shower.

Dropped off: "Walpurgis Event" GC

My log entry may indicate that I left one of my Geocaching Down Under stamps but I think I got distracted and forgot.

Nice walk, didn't see another soul the entire hunt.I lived very close to this area for most of the eighties and had no idea the dunes held so much local history. The first cache is very damp, the log is falling apart and will soon need replacing. TNLNSL, thanks to Team Lympago for a great cache.

We enjoyed this multi, walked on a cooler summer day.
We've driven past many times before, but not stopped. Again geo-caching takes us to a place we otherwise would miss.
Took: nothing
Left: Stone Ridge tag and Mingyuan Xindu hotel room key card.
T4TH.

I don't know quite why I decided to do this on a 38 degree day, as I wasn't prepared - no hat, no suncream and no water...

I found the first WP very easily, had a bit more trouble at the second, and had no end of problems at the third!! Eventually found it, very happy!

Took the Kansas City GC. T4TH

We started this today and found micros 1 & 2 without problems. We started out to GZ but the batteries gave up on the GPS. We didn't bring sufficient cells with us from the UK so a trip to get a pack of AA cells is next. We will be back
Zensunni

Nice easy find. Found all the waypoints without trouble and enjoyed the walk in a small part of the reserve. Was nice to get back here. Took Bushies Spark Travel Bug and the bike bell. Left Kansas City Historical Event Geocoin and a toy record player. Nothing else would fit! Cache is in good condition but the paper in the micros are getting mouldy. May need replacing some time in the future.

Visiting family from New York, USA and decided to search for a few of the local caches. You proved me wrong when I said that Perth is very FLAT with this cache. My nephew and I were pushing my other nephew in a stroller up and down all the hills. It was fun and found all 3 parts with no problems. Left nothing and took nothing. Thanks for the cache!

My first attempt to find a cache west of 150E failed at step 1 - but a very pleasant and informative failue nevertheless. Next time I'm in Perth .......

Thanks - looks like a great multi-cache.

The last one for the day. I think it might have takes a little longer than it should as we selected the wrong track initially. But it was all worthwhile and we located the caches without any incidents.

Fourth of 22 finds on my first afternoon/evening of my Perth business trip. Despite the uphill walking involved, I really enjoyed this cache. However, I found the coordinates for the first two waypoints to be out by about eight metres. The first one seemed to be in a strange area, so I decrypted the hint. I found it shortly after. The second one also seemed unlikely place, but on my way there I decided to look in a certain place, and to my surprise, I found it. For some reason, I thought there were three micros, so at the third stage I again looked for a small cache. When I failed to find it I re-read the cache description and realised that I should have been looking for a 1L bucket. I found it immediately afterwards at 1510. It was a relatively short walk back to the car--like a good multi should be. [^] Thanks to Team Lympago for the cache.

IN: Bouncy ball and Bushies Spark TB
OUT: Toy Car

found at 13.20 with scuba crazy666
what a great walk. while searching uncovered banded sand snake under leaves move on quickly as did not want to disturb.
tn ln sl.
thanks.

Found it @ approx. 13:20 with Team Wallan

Quite a nice walkthrough a beautiful piece of bushland.
Found after an extensive search.

Took Smiley Badge
Left Zipper Car

Thanks for the hunt.

Found all three caches without too much difficulty - although the first one did test us! Heaps of midges everywhere!! we got covered in them and our hair was full of them by the time we got back to the car. We ate, breathed and wore them. All part of the fun that is geocaching! Took nothing, left frilled necked lizzard fridge magnet.

What a great piece of history hidden in suburbia. Was a great day, we rode down from hillarys and hence the fact I had to push my bike up a couple of the hills:P. Thanks for the hunt

Nice easy find in an area of Perth I always wanted to walk throught but never got around to. Caches were found with no trouble, although I must admit, I did use the encrypted clue for the first cache. Will be coming back to view the spring flowers.

Superb view, found this one relatively easy but the walk is a killer. Left torch, took tats. Kids are stuffed.

Was the last one for the day as it took the last bit of strength we had left in the legs.

Was a beautiful day for the walk and the new co-ordinates must be ok as we found all fairly easy.

Thanks for the cache

The walk was harder than I expected, at 16.35h (WST). From the south the steep climbs were fairly short luckily, but the hard track suface was much better to walk on than just sand hills. Took - Goat. Left - Shower cap. TFTC

Maintenance visit to fix the intermediate co-ordinates.

We stopped in today to fix up the co-ords of parts two and three, following reports of their being out by quite a bit. We would have done this a couple of weeks ago, but we were delayed by Leece's eTrex taking a holiday to the bottom of the Canning River. From which it refuses to return. (So if you happen to visit the bottom of the outflow of the Kent St Weir, and see a eTrex in the mud, drop us a line!)

We also cleaned up the log sheets for parts one and two, copied the one entry across, and Leece grabbed the Red Hat TB.

Enjoyed walking around the tracks to find the final GZ. Like others, it was out of GZ by approx 19m and no need to bushbash as it was next to the path. Lovely sea view and it was very temptation to give a dip into the sparking blue water in the perfect weather. TNLNSL except dropped TB The Red Hat. Thanks for great location and cache.

Accompany with Everlasting which I am still learning about GPS. phew its really hard work for me eh

Found the cache, phew! Lucky I read the note from 3 Generations so no problem to found wpt2 and 3. It was fantasy view of ocean also walking along to cache. TNLNSL Thanks to Team Lympago for the cache.

Definetaly an awesome sea of green and a sky full of flies, but thats bushwalking. The ocean looked great and I could hear the crayfish calling for me to catch them so roll on next week TNLN Thanks

2nd to find after 3 genrations. Had no trouble with WP1 but I think that WP2 and the cache coordinates are out a bit. They didn't take too long to find however.

TNLN Thanks for the hunt.

This was an interesting walk. I found waypoint 2 out by about 10m and waypoint 3 out by 17m. Took ball, Left bubbles. Thanks I enjoyed this multi.
