WA cache - come in sucker
One for your watch list -
Makes me wish I had the money to fly there to do it
Is it any harder than some Bendigo or Shepparton ones I wonder?

I think there are some Perth cachers who might be willing to put a kitty together so someone could log the 3TF!Team GraMon wrote:One for your watch list -

Re: WA cache - come in sucker
Lucky there's been a find or it might deteriorate to the level of that cache in the USA that had 27 DNFs and got archived. There was about 100 or so pages of discussion and outrage about it on Groundspeak last I looked a month or so back.
Certainly a challenge I'll take if I get to Perth as planned next month. I reckon I've got as much a chance as anyone (i.e. not much!)

The locals are very honest with their DNFs.

For those interested here are some GZ photos I took the day before my last log. Those that know what to look for can see the cache.Rabbitto wrote:I can see it from this link from here
The yellow sand above and below the sprinkler is some of the damage caused when the sprinkler was originally broken and has changed the environment around GZ a bit from when the owner originally placed the cache.
A number of bushes and saplings have also disappeared from around GZ due to the large number of cachers looking for this cache.

I've been twice, both times for a half hour or so. I'm not that keen on going back again now; we all need to know when to quit.

Re: WA cache - come in sucker
Only one " Found it" log, but it sounds as if others have also found it...
The trouble with good disguises is that they fool the eye, so you can't tell you've got a cache in hand until you pick it up. This tends to encourage "looking with your fingers". I remember finding one cache (GCKR5F, I think...) that was a hollowed-out stick. It didn't last long. I suspect a subsequent cache hunter dropped it to one side without realising, or maybe a duck pinched it for its nest...

Re: WA cache - come in sucker
Hmmm... Over two years without a single find, ever? Plenty of cachers logging DNFs, and strong indications that plenty of others have hunted for it but not logged it? I'm slightly surprised that one lasted as long as it did. There's only the hider's word that there's a cache there at all...Yurt wrote:This was the US one I mentioned earlier.

Re: WA cache - come in sucker
We went and had a look for this sucker, without success.
There's certainly evidence of much activity in the region, but it's not a bomb site or anything to get too horrified about.
I've seen much worse erosion anywhere where there's kids or homeless people using an area.
