Quick find while nearby. Greetings from Adelaide TFTC

In Busselton for a very long weekend holiday with the family. Our first stop was to the shopping centre for some supplies where this nearby cache presented itself as a great starter for the trip. GZ was a great hiding spot with many possible locations, it took far too long to finally get this one possibly due to a fear of the 's lair but with a few hints from previous logs and a change of viewing angle we eventually located the container, posed for a kodak moment and signed the log. TFTC, Zoe & lathiat

Nearly missed it. Thanks

Nice hide

Out and about exploring Busselton and its surrounds despite the weather doing its best to wash me away.

TFTC! Few spider friends around

I love the local history behind this one. Thanks

Just arrived in town. An opportunity grab while at Coles. Was scratching around when a local came up and pointed it out. No scratching required. These locals sure are friendly and helpful. TFTC

AlliedOz

Last day of the Xmas break for me and got invited to go on a day trip down south with alliedoz and kyzabra. Grabbing some labs and caches along the coast on the way back.

Lots of people walking past here this arvo. Tried to look normal while looking, saw it then retrieved while no one around.

Thanks for the cache.

Wow this thing has been my nemesis for like a flipping year. Tell me I didn’t just walk up and see it straight away this time. Tftc

The next cache on my list was this one. I looked for a shady spot but had to settle for full sun. On the positive side I was really close to GZ.
The cache didn’t really want to be found. I looked in numerous places and kept find anything but a cache. On the third time around I finally spotted the cache.
I stepped away to sign the log before returning to re-hide it. I looked towards my next cache and decided to walk.

We got a bit wet and rained on but the cache seems nice and dry

Managed to quickly locate this one in the rain. All dry. TFTC.

Found it. This is our seccond look for this one, tricky little spot.

Found it straight after WBDJfam, I know this since my partner was waiting in the car as I ran into the shops before coming back out to finally find this cache. I may have given up if I wasn't aware that someone had just found it minutes before. Another great one Pood, thank you

I searched for this cache a couple of days ago but it was pouring with rain so the search was a bit half hearted. I returned today and after a bit of scratching around, the cache was revealed.

Found after a little digging but its definitely there! Thanks Pood! tftc

Too good for us today looked in all the crevices might be time for CO to check. Started our 2nd tour of WA now touring around the south and now checking out Busselton. 26 January 2022 1:00 pm Tyfc pood total caches now 3784

Tftc

Out early in the morning, quick find.
Thanks for the hide

Fun to find

Interesting history to the area. Tftc

Found it signed T.T.

There were cars right at GZ but no muggles. That enabled us to search without any hassles. It took a while to find - so many nooks and crannies to explore. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for a well hidden cache.

Enjoyed this one

I found it I found it! -charli James 12yrs old nice spot!

Got it.
TFTC

Nice spot, crazy to think they moved the school so far away.

Nice quick find after waiting for a muggle to get out of their car.
TFTC

Found this one on a weekend trip to yallingup for a friend's wedding we had some spare time in between a thought we would find a few cashes it was a wonderful weekend and seen many things TFTC

Thanks for the cache! Nice day for a shopping trip.

TFTC. Sneaky hide

this one has stumped me for ages. However finally found today. Not at all where I expected but found anyway. Many thanks for the history of this area previous to now.

After many many months I.found it.with allykat2892. Now I am at peace. Thanks

We had one more chance before we were leaving town... one more look... and tada! An unlikely place for the geo however?

Second time wasn't a charm. This is a stumper!

Nothing found

No luck today

Had a good look. Didn't find the cache.

I couldn't quite work out, just why a cache was hidden here, but then re-read the text and thought oh, yes, this sure doesn't look like an old school or playground...
Found reasonably quickly thanks to some previous logs, though not too keen to stick hands in unknown black hollows...

After a lot of searching we read the comments and got the low down from deroosters’ log and then made a quick find. This one was fun. TFTC

Found 701 pm geogirl found the little black cylinder while we were waiting for our pizza at dominoes

Just been down to check on this one, all good here, just need caching eyes on

Dnf. Must be well hidden and I don't have my eye on.

No luck on this after an attempt this morning and then one just now. We don't seem to have our eye in today.

Found it!
Look in all holes
Need a stick to find

No luck here today

This weekend saw the jinta crew planning our first over night camping trip for some time and we headed southwards to explore this area! We headed away from Baldivis and meandered our way towards Busselton collecting smilies along the way. This cache was one we targeted for our weekend adventure. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there pood, I was in this area today and found your cache Chalkies Challenge IX - Remember When... GC2MW9A. I added my name to the log book at 7:00 am on 6 December 2020. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

Found it

To easy

Went for a maintenance check today after the last few dnfs,
though no need for maintenance as the cache is still at gz
All good at this location.
Happy Caching

Finally our girls weekend has arrived Kapelula, Meme28, Geotrekka and I C Nothing are heading south with four full days of caching to celebrate some birthdays and geo milestones. We have been puzzling like crazy in preparation so our aim is to find those caches and everything else that takes our fancy. Maybe even a challenge or two. Signed log as Kameingt.
Second visit after few minutes we found the cache.

Heading south with Kapelula ICNothing and geotrakka (KAMEINGT) on our girls weekend.
After a DNF, we had some help to get this smiley!

It’s great to get a smiley here after having no luck last night. TFTH!

Found whilst out on an extended weekend road trip to Busselton, Dunsborough and surrounds with I C Nothing, Meme28 and geotrakka. Signed log as KAMEINGT.

Unfortunately despite our best efforts we were unable to find your cache. Hopefully we can rectify this on our next trip down this way.

No luck with this one!

Away on a girls weekend to Bussleton with ICnothing, Kapelula and meme28. Hoping to hit some milestones during our adventures. Signing as a team this weekend KAMEINGT. Thank you to all the COs for placing their caches along the way for is to enjoy. No luck for us here tonight

Was a bit hard with cars driving by all the time... Even at night time! But we got it after a minute or two! TFTC

Tftc

Went out to find some caches at night with emmahen and the Family.

Second find for the night, and a clever little hidey hole for a cache!

Tftc

Nice find with the geo-family. Cache is safe and well in good condition. TFTC

Took a bit of work to retrieve this one.
Out for a morning of caching.

Found after much searching was a little too tipsy last night but a happy find this morning with mandate7 top spot for breakfast TFTC

Found with bigSalmon1 on second attempt. Found being sober helped as had looked in the same place last night TFTC

Just checked this one and it’s definitely still there, just need caching eyes on.

Help

Thanks for the cache the Ewoks tricky one but my drunken girlfriend found it

Dnf, looked in both trees, found an old rusted badge, that's it

That was easy.

We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun but no luck today. Thanks for placing the cache.

Searched for some time but couldn't it.

Was an easy one with The-Shredder. TFTC

Quick find. Tftc The-Shredder

Tftc

Searched for a while but still could not find it

We had a suspicion what this cache might look like after reading some logs as we have made a similar hide in Adelaide. Unfortunately ours got muggled too many times & we’ve had to archive it as it was such a hassle to keep replacing it. Yours is more protected though so hope yours lasts better than ours. TFTC

About to give up-it’s hot- then spotted something that didn’t fit with the area. TFTC

NEF in the dark. TFTC pood

The better half found this one while riding the geo-bike in the area. TFTH

Nice quick find on a recent trip to OZ....only a short walk from where we parked the van...cheers V.

Staying in lovely Busselton for a few days and getting to know the place by visiting some of the caches. Thanks pood.
