Easy find due to the trail other cachers made over the years. The container is broken and contents are wet. I really should bring a supply kit with me next time. I dried the zip lock bag in the cache and put the log into the bag. I could still sign the log. The container needs to be replaced.

Completely full of water, all contents wet. Will need replacement log and container. Tftf

??

Found it! Container is damaged and we didn’t have a pen so couldn’t write in the log

Found it TFTC wiggytig. Happy to make the find here, replaced as found. This cache seems to be in Palliative care and is in need of desperate TLC. It will be a shame to see this old cache archived.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Challenging spot. Container needs replacing as lid broken.

Found it! Very overgrown reeds but the path is still "there". Not really under bark anymore but we stuck with the coordinates and found it pretty quickly TFTC

Out for another day of caching with BJA3 & arnott family . Great spot.

All good here,  TFTC!

TeamBarritts and I had a day off work so we decided on a caching day together. Found a few including this one.

Teamed up with TeamBarritts and Arnott Family for a days caching fun.

Thanks to all the CO's for great hides and containers.

Sent the 6 year old through the creek to get it.
Cache very wet but able to sign the log. Left a few swapables. Tftc!

We have never gotten around to look for this cache so it was nice to get it ticked off the list.
Presently there is a log you can cross over the stream with but be careful it may be slippery when wet.
The cache is a bit tired but as long as you are gentle it should be ok. The contents are humid but not wet so I left the cache as it was.
It's nice to keep it as originally placed.

Another quick find, heading back towards the carpark now.
TFTH.

TFTC This was very tricky, and very scary for Miss M… to many ants

Walking the Mason and Bird Trail with cmb212. Kept a good eye out for slithery things here.

Climbed down from the trail and it wasn’t too long before Kyzabra made the find. Crossed back over the dry brook and back on our way

Late last year Kyzabra floated the idea of a bit of a walk through this area. Over the Festive Season, we locked in a plan.

Met early at the locked gates and made a walk to some of the close ones. Then once the gates were open we strategically positioned both cars and set out.

A good mornings work, great to get some exercise and catch up.

wiggytig SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache Polar today at 06:47:01 3 Jan 2022. This brings my find count to 5081

wiggytig - Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. I love travelling and visiting some places that I would only visit due to this game.

Original log book and container. Added our names and kept going. We were a bit worried as it’s a little bushy across.

SVKR_WA and I hadn’t been out for a while and with one FOTT down south and others with work commitments, we decided to hit up Allied’s series and Laxa’s labs. Started the morning at 6.30 to do the top end first.

Many thanks to wiggytig for placing and maintaining Polar. I was here at 6:48 am on Monday and this is my find 9752.

Great hide. Tftc

Found while out doing the Mason and Bird Heritage Trail with MitchDam, TFTC

Planned a morning in the hills hunting caches today. Found McFonz would be in town so teamed up to talk down a few puzzles, trads and multis.
Found the first around 7am and the last around 12:30pm. McFonz tracker said 19,500 steps and over 14km walked, a good day out!
Thanks to all the COs. Great time of year to be put here. Wild flowers including orchids everywhere!

Creek is flowing well, took a while to find where to cross. TFTC

Out with SpatialRiq for a spot of caching today. Kicked off early and went until after lunch.

Nice day for it and made a few finds to get the count up.
Great area for a cache wiggytig.

Thanks for the cache.

Cheers

MCFonz

Nice quick find here TFTC

Ditched the bike on the track and wandered down to log this find. Tough terrain near the end. Thanks for the hide.

Chwiliwr and I were doing the lab cache and called in to find this cache whilst passing. Was a quick find by me. Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks wiggytig for placing this cache for us to find.

Tftc, plastic is starting to crack a little.

Finally a win here after 2 DNFs today.

Thanks for the cache wiggytig

Great spot tfth

Quick find TFTH

Found on a walk with a group of friends. TFTC

Found it thanks! Waz and Deb

Found whilst doing the Lab caches on the trail. TFTC

Tftc. Nice bit of bush hiking.

Social distancing on a bike ride! TFTC

Doing the nearby lab caches so stopped off to pick this one up too. Social distancing and iso exercising with PP2.
TFTC wiggytig this is find # 9542 for us.

After getting [FTF] on the new Labs nearby I couldn't let this one go. A little detour from the track and it was a quick find in the company of Barnzie.

wiggytig I found your cache at 5:23pm, this was the 7th of 7 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 5996. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Found whilst in the area completing some of the lab caches. A nice walk to GZ, and a quick find of a good sized container.

Thanks for the cache

Thanks wiggytig for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces.

Could the next finder please bring a replacement container. Both clips are missing on the container.

Thanks

Doing some research for a lab cache close by . We could not leave this unfound .thanks for the cache

Found this one a couple of weeks ago on a homeschool walk. Lovely area, thanks for the cache.

Worried at first as it hasn’t been found since 2018 - but there it was!!!! TFTC

Quite an adventure to get this one! Lots of water in the creek! Filled another spot on our calendar grid! TFTC Wiggytig

Nice little adventure to get it, found with Simon Bryant. Tftc!

Great spot thanks! Dry now but might come back in winter to hear those frogs.

Out hiking /caching with my buddy Andrew from Taiwan. Found this cache safe and well, the sistema container is starting to show the signs of age but the contents were dry and intact. Great cache that deserves more frequent visitors. TFTC

Great walk awesome hiding spot thanks for the cache

TFTC, TNLN

Morning of geocaching with my wife and dog, excellent time had by all. Thanks

Last find for the afternoon. Plenty of croaking nearby. Now to find our way back tftc

Nice

Out with Iluvtrekking and Richlinks for another great day of caching...TFTC

Out and about with richlink and JacobsCrew2 on another perfect day for caching. Thanks for the cache wiggytig.

After finding the two caches up near the dam we returned down to the carpark for a lunch break. Headed off on our bikes on the track with iluvtrekking and JacobsCrew2. Fantastic day for doing this type of caching and found without problems. Cache well protected and still dry. Thanks wiggytig

Thanks

I cant believe that I walked 5 klicks for 3 caches and this was in TIGER Snake country Too much Watsonnia, but I had gaiters boots and walking stick. I fought off the troll beneath the log bridge found the cache and took one of two TBs, Akk good

Decided to do some caching along the Bickley Brook today and the older caches in particular were in my sights. After doing thee caches close to the car-park, I'd moved the geo-Camry up the road and parked on the verge opposite the Camp, did the closest traditional to where I was parked then headed straight for this one, by-passing two old traditionals which I left to do on the way back.

Arrived at the point opposite the cache on the South side of the brook and soon spotted the obvious place to cross. At first I thought there might have been some drama with the crossing, but all was good .

Found the cache quickly. Signed the log and dropped in a couple of trackables. Thanks for the hide wiggytig. Fav for this one for the great location, the interesting crossing [^] and of course because it's always good to find an older cache!

PS. This cache will need maintenance soon ... you may need to replace the container. The lid has perished a bit, but it still seems water tight. Probably doesn't warrant a "Needs Maintenance" log just yet, but I'd say it won't last another winter.

With jasenjanine kid free today we decided to head out and pick up a few caches.. After we couldnt get to 2 other caches because the road was closed we decided to walk to this one. From where we parked the car i think it was supposed to be an 880 metre walk to the cache but we started off walking down the wrong track so we had to turn around and start all over again...It didnt seem to take to long to get to the stream and we spotted a log we could walk across to get to the other side (a bit wobbly though lol...) We found the cache quickly at GZ and everything was still in good condition. TFTC wiggytiq

Headed out with OOH YEH for a bit of caching today... Our plan didn't go quite to plan, but that's all part of the adventure of a day in the bush This was our first find for the day after finding the first WP for the nearby multi... It was a nice walk to GZ, once we got on the right track

Closing on GZ we saw were our GPSr was pointing... We had no trouble finding a good spot to cross, except that I hate walking through long grassy stuff With lots of stomping and a bit of a balancing act the cache was quickly in hand

TFTC wiggytig [^] It was nice to find this older cache & good to see some of the old logs in the book... Cache is beginning to become britte, but for it's age is in great condition!

My final cache of the day. The bubbling brook is quite soothing. Lots of water at this time of year. Quick and easy find for me today. TFTC wiggytig

We'd been in Noranda earlier in the day, then in the hills looking for steve2398's new hides and it's been pretty muggy all day. So off to the polar regions for some cool air.
Had a find here after ten or so minutes, (spotted no white bears) signed the log and headed for some cool refreshments.
TFTC.

FTF in 2014

Plenty of water in the brook so had to select our crossing site carefully. Came across a small dam and tin shed. Wondering what that was for. TFTC.

at first glance Johnny saw it ( first geocache) great adventure

FELIX and I had been planning a trip to Kalamunda Hills for about 2 years, but the seasons just passed by and
we have never quite made it.

Over this time the list of unfound Caches grew astronomically and we are now left with needing to spend a week there just to make a dent.....

Anyway today was the first day of our assault on the hills...and we started with a decent enough 3 hour walking loop around the northern part of the Banyowla Regional Park picking up a number of caches as we went.

This was the last one on this part of the hill, before heading off to meet up with the Spatial One.
who was joining us for the remainder of the day.

TFTC.

Wow I have been looking forward to today for 3 weeks. A big days caching with The Machman and SpatialRiQ

The Machman and Mrs Felix left home at about 6am in the dark to be joined later by RIQ. We walked a circuit from Bickley Bush Bashing II taking nearly 3 hours and making us late for our meet up but had a very enjoyable walk even if there were lots of hills

Well this was not where we expected to find a cache. Might help if we read the cache page occasionally. But after a leap of faith the cache was in hand. Now just a 2.3km walk back to the car.

TFTC wiggytig

Found it with a lot of ants around us. They where biting my girl a couple of times. THX

[:(!] Went for an afternoon of caching, parked the geoGrand Vitara as close as possible to GZ and walked in the rest of the way, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH Wiggytig.

Took ages to find as my gps had me out by 7 metres! Threw it away and just emu bobbed everywhere in the vicinity.

Tftc.

good walk to find the cache but would be better when the weather is cooler. TFTC

Found on a lovely day's bush walking with the kids. We arrived at the stream and searched for a while to find an ant free spot for the kids to stand while I went across. After a long search under just about every piece of bark I finally disregarded the clue and had the cache in hand in under a minute. TFTC.

TFTC

easy find but a great hike to get there.

This really is a lovely spot. And we really ought to find tracks instead of bushwhacking as the crow flies! We belatedly found the track, the creek (including tadpoles!), and the cache, and used said track to return to the car. TFTC

Lovely spot close to Perth. Will be back to find other caches in the area. T: mobile charger and key ring. L: 2 water pistols.TFTC

Part of a nice circular walk. TFTC

A really great spot, the creek sounds nice.
Couldn't stand still any where because of ants.
TFTC TNLNSL

Found while doing parts of the Victoria walk and Mason-Bird walk, in a triangle starting from the Melville Rose Nursery. A lovely spot - the water was in full flow so I had to find a log in order to cross the stream. Cache is well hidden and in an ideal hiding spot. A great location all round!

Pretty location - there was lots of water flowing in the creek after the recent rains and the frogs were in full chorus. Collected the TB and will move it on soon.
TFTC

This was my 300th find.

Nice easy walk and find along a flat track. Not sure why it's graded a 3, maybe that's if you come to GZ from a different direction. No water yet in the stream which was good as my trainers are leaking. I was 'Jenny no mates' and had to celebrate alone but enjoyed the peace and quiet and my packed lunch sat on the nearby log.

I parked in Melville Rose Garden's car park for safety. Mind you no one would really want to take my car!!! TN left TB TFTF

Thanking you for the cache.....Lovely walk.....Left a little ball and a little maracca....Took an iraqi note...."Go safe"

Enjoyed the walk in the forest. No babbling brook, but perhaps we should have come in winter! TFTC

Breakfast at Melville Rose Café and decided to crab a couple of nearby caches.

TFTC

A great walk, even the walk up the dirt road was easy (except for the patches of rocks at the start). Stream would look great when flowing, but it made it easy to cross now that it was dry and not likely to be slippery. Cache easy to find. TFTC,

TFTC left magnetic phonebook

No trouble crossing the creek the only thing running was not the creek it was the ants and there were plenty of them! every where TNLN

A quick jog from the carpark for a quick find. The creek was looking great. A pity about all the weeds. A very nice spot. Thanks for bringing me here.

Fourth cache of the day on my round trip from Hadringe Road via Victoria Dam.
Found the trek to the cache easy despite the heavy rains we've had in the last couple of days.
GPSr had me going round in circles until I sat, waited and looked again.
From there I found a great, well stocked cache. HEAPS of goodies in there.
Took the Cacche In / Trash Out rubbish bag for my next hike,
Left Frog Hopper and Sharpie.

TFTC!

A beautiful spring day when we decided to play hookey from work saw us enjoying the sunshine and wildflowers in this area. Didn't believe the GPS but were able to make it to the cache with only the removal of one sock and shoe.
Took pocket flashlight
Left notepad set and CITO bag
Thanks for taking us on a nice walk to this lovely spot.
Cheers,
The Stroopids Step Out

After doing " There's the spot" (GCJ9ZY) down the road a bit, it was only natural to head to this cache.

ANTS! and a lot of them... none near the cache but as I was the only one brave enough to make the leap over the creek, it was a laugh watching the other 3 having to keep moving all the time so the ants would not crawl up their legs.

TNLN loved the area!
AlliedOz aka The Jokers

Enjoyable Cache .TFTH

Nice little area down there had to keep an eye out for muggles wandering in the area. Took simpson figure left metal car and collectable cars. TFTC

Great cache! Visiting from the USA. I have found that Geocaching is the best way to see great sites in Australia. Picked up the Canadian G/C and heading back to the states with it. TFTC!

9 of 11 for the day.

Found a Euro Geo coin, but it's not logged here. Will get it on it's way again.

A nice walk through bushland to gz. Thanks wiggytig - left gc.

Nice easy find for the little Walkin's and friends as an intro for them into caching.
Left Euro Geocoin.
