WanAus 29 - Southern River Ramble #2 Huntingdale, Western Australia, Australia
By WanderingAus on 04-Dec-07. Waypoint GC17RWM

The cache needs relocation to some safer area due to health hazard in the area.
Anyone searching for the cache may pick a used syringe needle in a finger, especially considering lack of light under the structure.

Eight years is long enough, freeing up the area for someone else.

Easy find during my Saturday morning cycling ride.
Reading many logs, I took a flashlight as well - made a good use of it.
**The volume and vicinity of hazardous junk is exceptional, I would never bring anyone to the place like that for geocaching or any other type of activities.**
I believe the cache needs to be relocated due to obvious health hazards.
Will log it as "Need maintenance" for that very reason.

Is there a "LTF"(last to find) prize/souvenir?

Found it with some looking around but forgot to bring a pen to sign it. Thanks for a fun find and nearly forgot to bring a torch

Second time lucky .We had a go at this one a wile ago but without a torch. This time we came prepared with a torch and with the hint in mind the cache was found in no time. There was still a syringes lying around so be careful in the dark .

I had the coords for this one worked out pretty quickly and with the hint it was a nice easy find once at GZ
Lots of spiders here though so I carefully extracted the container and signed the log
WanderingAus - jinta29 found your cache WanAus 29 - Southern River Ramble #2 on 2014-10-17 at 12:11 pm. This is find #2190 for us! TFTC and thanks for bringing us here.

Didnt think it was that easy.
You need a torch to find this cache.
TFTC

Jumped on the treadly this morning to track down some caches near home that I hadn't yet looked for, searched for four, found three.

About to give up here, forgot to bring the torch. Had a look at the hint so went for a quick peak, it was really too dark to feel around not knowing what was there, to my surprise I spotted the cache.

Wahoo 2nd to find, watch out for the sludge!

tried for this about a year ago and struggled, was a very hasty find today though
tftc

The dog kept getting spooked as I was searching so I took her home, then returned and found the cache relatively quickly without referring to the hint. TFTC!

I would certainly not have found this cache without the hint. Recommend future searchers bring a torch since my phone provided inadequate lighting for this terrain. Thanks for the cache WanderingAus.

Thanks but watch out for the pointy things

Nice walking track will be back to explore it's entire length. Cache was easy find. SL TNLN TFTC

The waypoint for this one is in some seriously long grass, and being snake season, I was very wary of going in there. Then reread the listing to find that I was still 15m from gz. Checked out the possible locations, but all I found was a couple of used syringes. Glad I saw them before doing myself an injury. CO might like to rethink this one as is dangerous for more than one reason.
Might return another day, if I come back this way...

Scoured the location and then went to car to get a torch. With illumination checked again but came up empty. Replaced container.

Found it riding my bike along the river, found it straight away after i read your clue tftc!!

Found after referring to the hint.

Thanks for the cache.

easy find


TFTC

This was a timely hunt today as the weather had just changed into a light shower as I arrived at WP1. Thanks for the hint, we would not have found it today otherwise. TFTC

Found on second attempt with Geo Grandchild Connor

TFTC

A quick find using my iPhone LED as a torch. TFTC

Tracking down WanderingAus multi in my local area. WanAus 29 - Southern River Ramble #2 was relatively easy one in a place I had ridden past a number of times.

Thanks WanderingAus.

Second of Southern River Ramble today. Stupid me was looking at the details for #3, had the co-ords right but info wrong. Got to GZ area and was looking under twigs, branches, bases of treees for a small container but couldn't see anything. Started walking onto #3 and realised my mistake!! back I went and was still looking in the wrong place then re-read and saw the clue which made it 'BINGO' at last. It wasn't difficult I just made it difficult. SL TFTH. Persiverance my geocoin made a visit as I had to do lots of that on this cache.

Group of Cub Scouts on outing.

TNLN Thanks for the hide.

Nice lizzard

Had a bit of a hunt in the dark. We found a big lizard before we found the cache. He just lay there while we signed the log and left. TFTC

Easy find with the hint. TFTC.

On the 2nd attempt, we finally got it today.
TFTH

took a while to fingure this one out, but we got there in the end. forgot to take a writing tool with us, so didn't sign the log TFTH

second multi to try, as we were expecting it be like the first one we did, we kinda got confused. Muggle in-law was smart enough to figure this one out for us *Yay for him*, and finally found it after hunting around for bout half an hour with TeamBell9

this was tricky as my team and bubblesfly didn't have a compass did we however one of the guys (smart arse) was smart enough to work it out Great hide.

Yep hint helped!!
TFTH

No luck this time.

Initially our search failed to find the elusive cache, but we soon had it in hand after reading the hint. TFTH WanderingAus.

Out with AusTrackers today. After looking at a few different areas without success we read the hint and AusTrackers found it.

Found easily with no problems. Fellow geocachers please be careful as the area has multiple disgarded syringes in the area although not close to the cache.
TFTH

found easily with the help of i c nothing

enjoyable quick multi...first one of this kind for me...good spot for a cache..TFTH

WanderingAus wandered by on a cache maintenace run. Cache hadn't been found for over 6 months since Team Red Roo on 29/05/2009, but I found the cache in good order and the log was dry.

This is the one that nearly got away. Found quickly after returning to the car for some special equipment. SL, and picked up a pathtag (Benny). Thanks to WanderingAus for the cache.

12.45pm 24.5.09 Team:A
Took a caching trip to WA to fill in another state in our find map! only NT to to go now.
Out caching with Liz & Bruce & Allied Oz, great company, great WA caches, thanks to all who made placements for us to find.
Had a bit of local help on this one, TFTC

cheers

It was good to drop this one off the list as it "Pings" on the proximity alert on the Nuvi every time I pass this area .

nice and easy TNLN

The clue was a big help in us finding this one. Thanks WanderingAus

Found with ease, also found a used needle nearby so be careful fellow cachers.
Thanks for the cache

Found ok.
Brings back memories of how the roads used to pass through here.
T4TH

Found ok. Careful of the "sharps" near gz.

Basically easy cache, but hint was essential in finding this. Distance appears to be a little bit more than given in description.

Ah - finally figured it out! Not so hard really. Loved the old road bridge! TNLN, thanks.

A nice little offset micro and after a short search in the expected spot we had the cache.

After the mozzies having a right royal picnic on my legs - those dam 3/4 pants again - we got here and then read that we needed to find a bearing and then hunt 15m away - well I just couldn't do it. I just wanted to rip my legs apart from the itching and there was no way I could stop to get my bearing and look so we just by passed this one.

We will come back and try again when I haven't been turned rabid by mozzies and I will have spray!!!!!!!

I haven't DNF'd it as we didn't even look.

Nearly gave up on this one but thought we would have one last look and what do ya know there is was tucked away over there.
glad to get it as I hate to be beaten by these things

TNLN

WIll

Boy do i feel silly.!..Couldnt find this one even WITH the hint, thought i had found the obvious spot but no. Bear lefts log has certainly got me thinking, i will return another day..

Things have changed around here since I used to come past on my way to Uni. TFTH.

Found after looking in a few spots
SL TFTH

Easy find with *Quokka - TNLNSL TFTH

Found with *Monkey - our 9th of 17 WanderingAus caches (of a total of 21
found over a 9 hour period - with 4 misses) on a sweltering 37C day. Clever hide. TNLN TFTH

Came back for a third attempt and foiled again! This time by muggle cyclists settled comfortably at GZ. So did nearby multi, then came back - to finally claim a smiley! Don't know how I missed it previously, as I felt sure I checked out that spot. [B)]
TNLN Thanks for another good hide, WanderingAus.

A quick and easy find, we would be interested in seeing this area in the middle of winter when the Canning is running freely.

Well, I feel like a real dill, being the first DNF for this cache - couldn't get past WP1!! Thought I looked at all the likely spots to no avail Next time...

Now realise how really stupid I am... there IS no WP1!!

PS - Despite another attempt, with clearer thinking, I STILL bombed out! Surely this isn't muggled already!

Well I started off looking in the right place, but too much self-doubt caused me to explore other options, until I finally used the hint, and then found it easily. TNLN, Thanks for the cache.

After looking in vain in all the likely places we had to resort to the clue and once we did that, found it quickly. TNLN TFTC

We looked high, we looked low, we looked high in the low. Then Bariloche read the hint and we looked in the right spot and, "low" and behold, there it was (and high time, too!)

Found with Baldivis Settlers on our Third cache quest. TNLNSL T4TH

Found with TeamRoc on our Third cache quest. TNLNSL T4TH

Just re-logging the caches i have done under different team name (3BlindEyes)

I used to bike-ride around this area with my son many years ago! Used the hint, then Ursula found it easily at 7:30pm. TN-LN-SL. Thanks for the cache WanderingAus.

nice and easy to find

"Bronze" Excellent hide spot. Thank Keith for organise the cache and hunt.

Had to pass over this one to get dropped of at work so detoured to the carpark and had an easy find.

Came to hunt this cache this morning and had to abort because of the kid muggles played nearby. 1915hrs: Came back in accompanying Everlasting, and she found it before me. Dropped SilverHeartRace-No3-Ben TB in. Thanks for the cache.

quick to find this one
thanks

SilverHeartRace-No3-Ben Travel Bug was already picked up by Everlasting - waiting for her to log it off.
