Love the mail box, thanks for this one.
I was feeling a little dispondant when I arrived at the cache, I was on the Geobike and between here and the previous cache 'What a Sod' I managed to ride over some double gees that resulted in six punctures. Now its a long walk home pushing the bike with two flat tyres.
Enjoyed the cache, TNLN Steve

Nice area. Really enjoyed the walk. Met a lady walking her 5 month old Groodle - yep, a mix of Golden Retriever and Standard Poodle. Was really adorable though. Pleased to say did not encounter any snakes. Don't know what is going to happen the day we do - I just hope it doesn't scare me off for good.

Easy walk to the cache accompanied by a tiding of fighting magpies! Whatever they were fighting about they were passionate about it!!
Knowing the accuracy was 8m ended up helping because the GPSr had me in a spot that looked just right for a cache, but not really close to the real cache. Very clever hide.
Thanks for the cache!

Just popped in to see if Easting TB was still there - indeed he was and I will place him in another cache.
February 2008
29th
G'day. I note that my trackable, Easting, was dropped into the cache on December 28, 2007 and the cache has been visited since then, but no mention of the trackable and/or logged movement. I would therefore appreciate if the cache owner or another cacher could check the status of the trackable and if possible move it on. Thanks. Andrew.

Fifteenth of 22 finds on my first afternoon/evening of my Perth business trip. For once, I was sorry to be out geocaching at night. The ruins close to the road, and the old school house looked very interesting, but I couldn't appreciate them properly in the dark.  As it says in the cache description, it requires a little bit of a walk, but it was an easy walk. It would have been easier in the cold light of day, because I couldn't see the tracks properly at night, so I ended up doing some cross country walking. I took the easier way back out. I found the cache at 2000--coords were spot on. Nice hide! [^] The covering was hanging loose, but I attempted to secure it properly when I left. I had two TBs with me, but the cache is chock full of goodies, and neither of them would fit, however, I did grab the TB that was in there. Thanks to Team Tuff for the cache.

Hey "Team Tuff", you're not related to "Bitsumishin" are you? There was a little deja vu when it came to finding this cache after just doing one of "Bitsumishin's" in the same area. Another nice little hiding spot.
Co-ords were pretty good for me and I found cache without any problems though I did as i discovered take a little longer walk in to the cache than was necessary.
Took: Police Patch
Left: Mini Carabiner / "Occy" Strap.

Took ElmoFreak bush-bashing (the 4WD one, not the person) and eventually found a nice easy way in. This one has a neat little home.
13th
Finding a way into this without control of the navigation was quite interesting:P Even took a bit of a 4WD through an adjacent block (well i had fun anyway:D )
Once we found the gate, it was pretty easy from there, Very interesting spot!
Found the cache very quickly, as i figured it would be in the direction i was looking - and i was perfectly correct.
Love the hiding spot.
Took metallic pen
Left tennis ball
Thanks for the hunt!!

Everything is so nice and green because of the rain. The mind was in neutral looking for the grass tree or pile of rocks. Ummm...none of them here, have to start thinking. Or - look at the clue! Much easier. Oh, that's why they called it that! Great hiding place. TNLN Thanx Team Tuff
2nd
We parked on the verge of Ocean Beach road for this cache, allowing us a 400 mtr or so walk to the cache. With everything going well today, it would be easy. Found after a short search due to poor satellite coverage. TNLN, but enjoyed the walk and the exercise. Thanks for the cache and the hunt.

After riding around from "yella" and having to carry my bike up through the bush on the lakes edge I got to the top of the track again and set off for this cache. The path way over the creek was blocked off so I had to carry my bike again over the creek, I arrived near the location and found this cache very quickly, again it was in plain view I did not swap anything this time but covered the cache better as I left.

You Bewty, my 1st Cache!! wasn't too hard to find, took 5 minutes of easy looking, would have been quicker, had it been a clear day, I was getting an accuracy of ~8m, very cleverly hidden though. went on to try to find Yellalittle'onga (spelling?), no luck.

This was our 1st Aussie cache after emigrating 12 days earlier! Nice walk, the kids loved all the exotic birds that you get over here (nothing like them in the UK apart from caged in the local pet shop). Derek braved the swamp with a large stick to attack all the killer snakes and spiders that might jump out on him (well, we are English!!). Finally after not too long found it in a very clever hiding place. We took the waterwise stickers and left a rather snazzy James Dean timble!!

We just loved the ingenuity of this cache! How well it blends. The coords were spot on so it was just a matter of looking around. We took the oven thermometer and lefty a fridge smiley magnet and headphone covers. Top spot worthy of a bit more of a look around.

Found this one a few days ago, however I forgot to make the logs on the day and I can't remember what I took and left in the cache.

This would be a nice spot to bring the dog if only she hadn't had a busted leg. Oh well, it's a good spot to exercise the kids and find a cache too. Like your style Gaz. Took the play money and put in Eyore - probably a mis-spelling its the donkey from Winnie the Pooh.

Always wanted to check out Parrys Paddock - finally did... enjoyed it...

1:20pm coordinates were out slightly but that didn’t cause any problems. We had guessed what the idea would be so we spotted the most likely place as we walked towards the area. It’s a nice walk in the park and the day we went there was about 20c and would have been great for a picnic. On our way back to the car We spotted Team Tuff doing some maintenance. The yellow e-trex gave them away. We placed Little Miss Chatterbox in here That we had collected earlier from Bungana ‘n’ Kiln. We took the Phone case and added some toys. This place would be perfect for a multi cache or even the next Geocaching picnic. Lyn Pat and Nathan

Quite right too Bitsumishin, the Infamous Five yellow steed was there sans the dog (although Eunice wants a word with you no doubt due to some misunderstanding...) and we found a virgin cache, such a nice feeling. The location was clever with some effort and thought going in to hide the cache well. Nice one Team Tuff, we took nothing but left a 4WD mag CD. I do believe that's the second one in that park?

When I saw I5's bike there an hour earlier, I suspected there might be a cache nearby (after all, he wasn't walking a dog). Sure enough I spotted this one and as it was only walking distance from home, Ben & I set out, GPS in hand. As suspected he had beaten me to the punch. Good cache. We took nothing & left a cigarette lighter extn.
