Planet Ark by Madcub Neergabby, Western Australia, Australia
By madcub on 21-Aug-11. Waypoint GC32QMT

Area has been incinerated. Found what I think were the remains of the cache. See photos.

Fire has gone through area.

After 5 years of being in existence fire has finally taken its toll. Goodbye Planet Ark.

Thank you. The box had some water in it. The log was a little damp, though still able to record in it.
We also had heaps of fun climbing, walking & exploring near by for over 3 hours!!
TNLN. Though Miss 4 was tempted by a small dog.

Hi there gradem.

We found your cache **"Planet Ark by Madcub" **at 10:28:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 14652.

We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route that is mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and of various sizes hidden along our route.

We found 4 caches today & DNF'd 1. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:**
1. The cache was soaked, we spent some time drying it out, but it still needs some "Owner TLC".
2. **The listed trackables "Comenius goes Geocaching Geocoin 3" (TB2MF7P) & "Polution" (TB193VA) are not in the cache,** could gradem (or each Trackable owner) please "Mark the Item as Missing" so it can be removed from the cache inventory. This option is under Actions on the trackable's web page).
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Nice quick find here after spending most of the day at the Gravity Discovery Centre. Thank you for the cache gradem.

Took a little bit as i came in from the road on the wrong angle, so didnt spy as easily as some would...TFTC

Krabiboy and I hatched a plan a few weeks ago to head this way and grab some smilies . The weather forecast was not great but we packed the swags and took off for a couple of nights We had a great time darting all over the place adding to our tallies. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing these caches.

gradem - jinta29 found your cache Planet Ark by Madcub on 10/07/2016, 9:20 AM. This is my find #5431 and find #3 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

I have been looking for a chance to come up to Jurien Bay and surrounds to claim some of the older caches in the area. I mentioned my very rough plans to jinta29, and before long we had set aside this weekend to make the trip.

jinta made the quick grab here.

I found meself drawn to this place today
It was as if an attractive force was pulling me towards it [:o]

I stopped by the locked gates and hopped out to go for a short stroll to find me a cache

Looks like I will not be visiting the main attraction today !!
They don't open Mondays

Found this geocache after a day out at the Gravity Centre with the Geogrands aka paperfreak, TFTC. SL.

Out with nanna and pop

Found this one a few days ago. Thanks

TFTC gradem

Had a quick look around but didn't want to go too deep into the bush, given that it was a warm, dry day in Spring.

Found it

Quick find here today on the way back from checking out the Gravity centre. Tftc.

TFTC

On the wasy from the discovery center, it started raining so heavily, that it was only me looking for the cache. Cabs stayed in the car.
Thank you

Easy find.

Found it. Didn't get ambushed by a single snake or spider or ant, so... Good find. Thanks for the hide guys.

Found thanks for the find

Found on a day caching through gingin. I will admit I didn't go into the centre. I left my friends to go there while I cached! TFTC

Didn't find it this evening

twilight, will try again sometime.

Our first find on our 2 night northern escape, camping at a nearby caravan park. Megawat60 and I met up with dimor near the cache, a quick walk and the cache was in hand. TFTC gradem, nice to see it register a find after a few months.

A nice escape from the crazy city for a few days up north with m4yb and dimor. This was the first of 13 with only one DNF over 3 days. Nice hide and great that it was not found since last year.

Thanks gradem for a smiley out here.

Grabbed this one with M4YB and Megawat60 while heading to our accommodation for a couple of nights

I arrived a few minutes early and walked around the area but had no luck , then walked around when the others arrived and found it within minutes . Just didn't look there

TFTC

Great hide. Took us a while to find. TFTH! We're now off to the discovery centre.

Our first day caching and this was the second we found Very cool. TFTC

Called into the Discovery Centre and were especially amazed at the cable that shows how waves travel. Found the cache quickly, not sure about the "patient clothing" bag that it's in! TFTC

Quick find on the way home from Lancelin
TFTH

Climbed the tower found the cache TFTC

A good hide and a difficult find!

Yay finally a big cache for the kids to enjoy , thank you the native flowers are lovely this time of year, the local discovery center was amazingly fun filling out day and our mind, Lexzy our 4 year old daughter managed to climb the tower with the help of her dad, as well as built and set off rockets, lunch at the cafe was yummy too tftc everyone

Heading up to Cervantes today, we decided to swing past the GinGin gravity centre for a stopover.
Great day out, and had to grab this on the way out.
The GPS was playing funny buggers today. It had me searching about 10 metres away with no luck, so I expanded my range.
Eventaully discovered the prize. And when I checked my GPS, it said 0mtrs to cache !!! Spot on
Go figure.
TFTH Gradem.

An easy find which was a surprise given the DNFs. But glad to report its still there. TFTC.

After visiting the Gravity Centre and finding the Cosmo Cache, we stopped to find this one. Either the cache is a lot better hidden than what I anticipated, or it is gone…

Either way, it wasn’t a happy face for us today.

First stop for our Australia Day Geocache mini road-trip, but no luck.

On our way to Geraldton and decided to drop into the Gravity Centre. Amazing place and helpful staff, plus a great cup of coffee. A quick find, SL TNLN TFTC gradem. Moses the TB enjoys the bush.

Nice little find as we travelled through the area on a weekend away camping.

Found it!!

Easy find while visiting Gravity centre. TFTC

Found by Ivy, good cache thank you

TFTC! Great easy grab on a trip to the Gravity Discovery Centre.

Quick find

Nice little cache. Looks like we were the first. No other messages in the book. Thanks kids.

Easy find (once GPS settled) on our way in to the gravity centre. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Found on way home from work. Gotta love caching on company time
Took travel tag will drop somewhere on journey to coral bay next week

Nice day for drive the car... short search until spotted the cache - left TB and signed the log at 12:10pm. Thanks gradem.

Tftc guys. Thought we should get this one while we are out here

A nice, quick first find on our way to the Gravity Discovery Centre. A nice family friendly cache. Thanks for the hide cubs! [^][^]

Nice cache, not as easy as you might think! Thanks cubs!

Nice quick find by geokids on a day Geocaching with Jac's mob. Tftc

Found this one on my way home from visiting rellies further north for easter, only making a slight detour to grab this one. Thanks gradem
PS this one was my 2200th find, Yay!!

Awesome to find such a large cache with lots of nice little things for the kids.

after a trip to the gravity centre it took us a little while to find but find we did, well concealed. TFTC

Quick find here on a sneaky one hour cache run. I've passed the turnoff on Indian Ocean Rd many times but have never stopped. Definitely one to bring the geokids back to. Glad you enjoyed the camp kids and TFTC!

Here from Canada, doing a bit of caching as we explore Australia..

This one was well hidden and took a bit of searching. Finally came up with goods!

Thanks for the hide gradem!

Hey Hey! First find for a very junior cacher, Geo Meggie of the ripe age of 19 months. We said "ökay we are looking for a black bag hiding". Meggie turned around and said "there", pointing to the hiding place. Took 3 balls and pencil. Left heaps and heaps of stuff. Cache is now full. Cheers.

Very well hidden, took us a while to find it, cache in good condition. TFTC Madcub and thanks for maintaining gradem.

We were early for the Gravity Discovery Centre so it was great to be able to pick up a few caches on the way. This one took some finding, but as a previous log said the coordinates are spot on. TFTC.

Good Hide..

First of an early Saturday Morning dash.

Planet Ark by Madcub was transferred from madcub to user gradem

found on our way to a night of star and planet gazing!
coached leigholi to their first find! (yes ok they found it before i did)
grabbed Lego tractor TB!

[:(!] On our last day of a three day caching run and spending a couple of nights at the Ledge Point Holiday Park, Ledge Point. So we headed off for the return trip home and we picked up some caches along the way, we parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there. On arrival at GZ and after a couple of minutes of searching we finally had the cache in hand. TNLTBSL TFTC/TFTH.

Only the second time ever that we have come across a cache put out by a cub group. Think the other one was in Victoria. The co-ords were spot on but it still took us a while. A nicely stocked cache. Well done! Thanks.

Found quickly on a trip back to Perth. SL TN Left Peppcoin GC TFTC

Off to the Gravity centre and Star gazing session so we had to have a quick stop for this one! Easy spot to get to, although a few suspicious looks from passing by muggles as we left the car. What(?) just a family 'comfort break' guys! Geokids had the cache quickly and proceeded with their swaps.

TFTC madcub

Tfth found with the geo child

A quick find right on co-ords.
Thanks for the hunt madcub.

TFTC

GPS and iPhone had trouble zeroing in on GZ as I got closer it kept changing. It's surprising how well a black plastic bag can blend in with it's environment TFTH SL #215 Happy New Year!

I could try to blame the GPS for my extended search but I must admit that this cache is all about basic hiding skills.
Well done and nicely placed, Cubs.
TFTC

GPS took a while to settle and kept wandering so I only found the cache after an extensive search of the area around the extended GZ.

Thanks for the cache.

Had a great day out with the Step Son and Step Grand Son at the Gravity Centre.A nice easy find on the way out.

Grand Son did a couple of swaps.....great fun!

Found on route to collecting a new Munzee (www.munzee.com) at the leaning tower... Found no problems.

TFTC.

STF. Woohoo. Nice quick find while out and about today. TFTC.

Published

Woo Hoo a **FTF** Thanks so much for the cache and the prize!

It's funny how things pan out. We were on our way home from up North yesterday and saw the turn off to this place from Wanneroo Rd and we discussed the fact that there was a cache in there to do, but didn't have time to do it yesterday.

So when I saw this cache published today, I thought it must have been meant to be. A 2 for 1.

TFTC madcub (hope noone got any ticks)
