Day tripKununurra to Wyndham TFTC

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 124 - Kununurra Day 1. I took a day trip to Wyndham. There were three stops not too far from Kununurra and one old DNF in Wyndham to be found. I then took a side trip along the King River to visit a dam and a big old Boab tree, where I also had lunch. On my return journey I stopped at the Grotto for a peaceful swim at the vacant water hole before finishing the drive back to Kununurra. After another swim in the pool I headed into town for dinner at the local hotel. This was another old DNF, but oday there was no problems locating it. It even seemed like an original cache, which means I was blind all those years ago. Oh well, there was a cache to be found today.Thanks for the cache Bushies248939.4 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2013 Extincor Draconis A#251**Albida**

A caching trip from Canberra, ACT to Cape York, Qld and then around the gulf to East Arnhem Land, NT the over the top of WA.Interesting detours to Thursday Island, Mabuiag Island, Mornington Island, Doomadgee, Hells Gate, Nhulunbuy, Wadeye, Litchfield Nat Park and Wyndham.TFTC.Nice quick find around interesting machinery.

So many places to search, thanks to the good hint, a quick find here today. Thanks for the cache.

A nice quick find thanks to the hint!Wyndham is an interesting town.SL TNLN TFTC

Having a look around Wyndham and what it once was in its heyday. It is now pretty quiet, but we can definitely recommend having a pie at the town bakery! TFTC.

Found on our day trip from Kununurra to Wyndham. Took a second look to spot this one as it blended in so well. TFTC

Nice easy hide in an interesting spot. Tftc.

Grabbed this one after our flight to Kununurra. Walked back from the ship and were lucky enough to have a transfer bus come through the gate so we could get out. Found quickly but had to wait for 30 minutes for another vehicle to come through the gate so we could get back into the wharf precinct. Luckily we had a couple of hours up our sleeve before departure time! Good to see that another Gold Coast geocacher had found this yesterday. TFTC Bushies2

Expecting a challenge here we were surprised to locate cache in seconds. The hint is perfect. Tftc

TFTC, quick and easy find

Gotcha - Found easy enough. Tftc

With some time to spare this afternoon, we decided to drive up towards Wyndham to grab some caches in and along the way… Had a great afternoon exploring this unfamiliar area.

Quick find here thanks to the hint, all in good condition… SL TNLN

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Bushies2

We had a spare afternoon after a flight was cancelled, so decided to explore up towards Wyndham for a handful of caches and trigs…
Samuel found this one… 'Oh - *that* flywheel!'
We took the TB…
TFTC!

Thanks for another cache bushie 2.

A clear clue and nice big box made for a simple visit here as the sun was setting. The light did great things amongst the rust. TNLN-TFTC! Great bit of history on show here.

Heading north with richlink on our way to Darwin and beyond enjoying the spectacular scenery and finding a cache or two along our route. Nice quick find here.

Found after a short. We wouldn’t fancy working on this piece of machinery with no air conditioning or padding to sit on.

Tftc!

Found with Slack1962 on our travels TFTC

With FiveTays-TT TFTC

Found on a warm Monday. The cache container is so old and rusty it blends in well with the surrounding machines. Unfortunate about the bombing by Japan in March 1942.

Great clue! Took us a bit! Another interesting spot TFTC

While the children explored this spot I looked and found after asking husband a question but located and returned before to many muggles arrived

Found it

Catching up on some late logs, now that I have time, while travelling.

We are on the road travelling up through central Australian and down the coast of WA. I was happy to grab a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

An easy enough find, once I worked out what the hint was referring to.

Thanks Bushies2 for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

TFTC lots of old stuff here, great to see. Quick to find

Great little place for kids pity our grandkids are not here. Cheers thanks

Good find

Asked our tour guide to stop here for few minutes. The rest of the tour group enjoyed the display and we soon had the cache in hand. tftc

2nd find today if ... interesting port. TFTC

Great hide for kids. They enjoyed climbing up to get it

Catching up on logging cache

Find 7 of 15 on another full day of 4WDing, hiking and caching - on a day trip to Wyndham and back.

After 2 on a Sunday and this place was deserted. Took a drive out to the top cache and worked our way back. Quick find here.

TFTC Bushies2!

Exploring the area, tftc!

TFTC. Found with Flim&Flick on a lovely breezy day after having a croc pie at the bakery.

Great hide, great place

TFTC nice easy find

Tftc

Probably would have struggled without the hint. Read all the signs. Lots of history here.

TFTC Bushies2

Such a list of history here! Great spotTFTC

A very precise hint & good coords led to a quick find. TFTC Bushies2

Found on the 5/7/2020. Now this was cool ayyyyeeee

Great hiding spot

After a good walk this morning through Mirima National Park we headed off to Wyndham to complete the caches there and have a look around town. Sadly the town seems to be dying a slow death with many things shut down and boarded up. We enjoyed seeing the Dreamtime statues at Warriu Park which were very lifelike, the history of the residency and probably the most spectacular the five rivers lookout. A beautiful arvo to be out and about albeit a bit hot.

Had three weeks holiday so decided on a massive road trip to the most northern part of the state - the Kimberley. An area we have never explored, but had always been on the to do list. We travelled through the towns of Mount Magnet, Newman, Port Hedland, Broome, Halls Creek, Kununurra, back to Broome, Karratha, Exmouth, Denham, Geraldton and back home to Perth. It certainly was a very quick trip for the distance covered, over 8,000 kilometres in total, we saw a lot in such a short space of time, but barely scratched the surface of what’s out in these parts.

We would like to thank the individual COs for hiding the caches throughout these parts, from the towns to the highways and byways. Thank you for choosing to share these locations with us and we appreciate the effort you have gone to. Thanks for the fun.

... another nice cache on our holiday in Australia - thank you for showing us !

Found while visiting from Canberra. A quick photo stop turned into a quick cache hunt. Found quickly with the hint. TFTC

A good reason to get out of the car on this very hot day!

Found while touring the history of Wyndham TFTC

Traveling australia. Staying at Kununurra. Out exploring the area and thought we would do some caches. Thanks for the cache

Tftc, enjoying a day of caching around Wyndham and seeing the history of the town

On way back to the caravan park with Mrs one-eyed, we stopped here for some photos of the history.
After a good search up came the cache.
Looking forward to compiling a photo book on the outback town.

Quick find while on a day trip to Wyndham,TFTC

Tftf almost gave up

Made another quick find here while exploring the older parts of Wyndam. Thanks for the hide Bushies2.

Easy find with the hint - appreciated. TFTC

Placed it back into position as indicated by the hint tyfc

Cache was found by hubby in a spot I had looked at not once but twice. TFTC

After leaving my muggle friends at the Rock, it was time to head north and now west towards El Questro and get a bit of caching down on the way.
After leaving Gregory NP this morning I had a bit of time up my sleeve and so I called into Wyndham to have a look around.
Had a croc pie at the bakery and it was delicious.
The girl at the bakery gave me a map on what to see and do around here.
It would have been an interesting job driving this train around in a large circle in the heat as well.
Thanks Bushies2 TFTC.

A long search and as we walked away, mrs T-Dog found it

Coords spot on. Hint not quite right anymore. Try below rather than behind. Tftc

We located the object referred to in the hint without any problems, or at least we thought we had . . . Unfortunately that’s where it all fell in heap, as we were unable to locate the cache. Given our track record for finding - or more precisely not finding - magnetic caches on large pieces of machinery, we wouldn’t assume that the cache is missing, just that this Tasmanian team was suffering from cache blindness!!

While on a little drive around tour of town we stopped in here to look at the trains and grab the cache.

Day 24 of The Northern Adventure with megawat60 and Two + Four. We are now camped at Home Valley for 4 nights and today we made our first Pentecost River crossing to head to Wyndham for the day. Amazing quick find by Mr 2+4. TFTC!

Out with m4yb and the Two+Four team on the Gibb River Road. Staying at Home Valkey at the near end of the trip and Wyndham is today grabbing a few caches.
Thanks for the hide & smiley

Out and about with Megawat60 and MY4B on our northern adventure to conquer the mighty Gibb River Road and claim caches as we go.
That was the fastest find ever for Mr 2+4. We love a lark and grab TFTC

The Big Western Australia trip in 2018. Day 14. A morning in and around Kununarra was followed by a Ord River crossing as the Ivanhoe crossing and a back roads trip to Wyndham for dusk.

It was getting late and I needed to find somewhere to stay for the night, but Managed to squeeze in three out of four o the Wyndham caches in the old town. Sad to see the pub has folded. The instructions were quite clear, but I was not able to locate anything, even with my torch.

Thanks.

These great little towns and areas that we find on our cache hunt is are amazing. We always wonder what the muggles see TFTC

Nice easy find, TFTC

We are heading to Wyndham today and stopped to grab this cache on the way.

Cache was found quickly thanks to the previous log.

Thank you for placing this cache here in this historic location.

TNLN TFTC

Last time we were up this way was 10 years ago, not that much has changed except now I cache
There was even smoke around then that made for some sightseeing to be terrible

We looked where hint said but no luck so extended our search and looked below the flywheel in the box and there it was

TFTC

Left cache where I found it. Did Think about moving it on way back but muggles were there

Unfortunately DNF at this one. Is it really still at the original place as per the hint??

Quick find and a history lesson. SL TFTC

We are camped at Parry's Lagoon as we continue our meandering across northern Australia from one side to the other after attending the Red Centre Experience over Easter. Today I drove into town for a day's caching by myself and this was stop #5 and DNF #2.
How I hate the ones hidden on machinery and this was no exception. I reckon I spent almost an hour on not finding this one. But thanks for the challenge Bushies2

TFTC, SL.

Was my second attempt at this one. And easily found. Second time lucky. Thanks.
