Were they all placed by the cache owner or is that some pre-existing thing?

Pre-existing ... just like the one in Melbourne, and the ones in Europe. Pretty sure the CO just place the 'cache' one
I've also seen a pic of a similar lock grouping (although there looks to be 500-1000 locks) with a munzee on one, somewhere in Europe. Definitely a needle in a haystack!
At least the Perth one only had 20-30 locks from memory.

Could be risky - in some spots in Sydney they get removed regularly. You could have the bad luck to place your cache the day before a council worker comes along & chops all of the locks off.

Thankfully the proximity rule keeps us safe from any maliciousness

Otherwise it'd be sorely tempting!
Anyone else with cache ideas that are just too evil to implement?
No cache ideas are ever too evil to implement. Needle in a haystack hey?
How about a rock in a rockwall. This rockwall. Yes, there is a rock cache of mine in this rockwall. And I know its not the only cache of this type in Oz.

Couldn't believe that all the locks were removed from the lookout at Sublime Point! Wonder why they bother.

Same thing happened near my other local lookout cache (Leura Beautiful View). But more locks are returning . . .

There used to be hundreds of such locks on the Sea Cliff bridge near Stanwell Park on the NSW Illawarra coast, one was the end cache for a multi. The PTB cut them all off, just before I was going back for a second chance to find it..
