Out with ICNothing Kapelula and the two kids on our Kulin road trip… Sone logs signed as MIK, picking up caches along the way…

With the rain stopping for the day I thought Id race out and continue the Wandoo series today. Blue skies and fresh temps keeping me motivated to do as much as I can for today! The road is nice and quiet today which allows me to drive like a granny between stops. Thanks to the COs for placing this series for us to enjoy

Heading towards RLT land and managed to finish off the Wandoo series to Beverley.

Still a lot of bark here, though I was successful this time!

TFTC KnC and to Chwiliwr for maintaining them.

Out with Chwiliwr for a maintenance run of his Wandoo caches and also doing some maintenance of these Wandoo caches placed by Keego and Chil. Where it was necessary he replaced containers and/or logs and then I signed the log. All this section is now OK to be found.

Cache was here just hard to find. Has been replaced more visible.

Thanks Keego and Chil for placing these caches for me to find.

Nice quick find. Tftc

I overnighted in York and today I slowly made my way through Beverley and some of the Wandoo series towards Brookton Highway. Nice sunny day for caching but with a strong wind.

The tree was shedding a lot of bark but unfortunately I couldn’t locate the cache.

TFTC KnC, AOz, AP and Chwiliwr

Found with Whitburn2321 a couple of weeks ago, forgot to log the find, cheers for the cache

Having a good day out finding some caches in the cool clear skies winter weather. Plenty of water on the dirt roads today making for a fun time whilst finding caches but more effort in cleaning the geo mobile afterwards.
TFTH

Left home in the wheatbelt to do a trip to metro area which normally takes around two hours; but today it took 6 hours with a plan of getting 63 caches but time got the better of us and only did 36 caches along WestDale road and Brookton highway. Some interesting finds but sadly 3 DNF’s.
Cheers for being the runner Prycee2709, get through them a lot quicker with a driver and runner.
Long day hunting now logging all of today’s caches, sorry for generic logs.
Thanks for the Wandoo series.

All good here. TFTC

Skyryser and I started the series after crossing the Nullarbor on the way back to Perth. Most of the caches were easy finds. Thanks for placing this series and hoping to continue it soon. The_Shredder

Had a fun day with The-Shredder out there. TFTC

Got it ..

Spent the day trying to finish off this series. I was expecting more leaf litter hiding the caches but most were quick finds. Lots of different camos and a few that made me think twice. Only 6 dnfs because of fire or verge clearing. Tftc.

Out this way finding a few more in this series.
Thank you Keego_and_Chil

See Wandoo - Australian Hobby (bird series) for more information. TFTC

Yes thanks

Headed off early to finish of this series with Parkacruz, we managed to only have one dnf and an adventure to try and claim the bonus box. We have learnt that you shouldn't go into the bush after a heavy rain !!!! We also learnt that if a wooden bridge looks slippery, it is. But we had a great day with many laughs.

Out for another fun filled day with Neva2old to finish off the Wandoo series and others in the area, happy to say a smiley was added here TFTC

Thank you! I headed out with papillon367 to finish off this series. The two of us managed to locate most caches without too much trouble, and it was a great day for a drive.

Ullyssia and I teamed up for a full day of caching to finish the Wandoo series that we had started in January. We completed the "bird" series and found all the minerals. Most caches were quick finds as the coordinates were spot on. Thank you for the hide and for the series Keego_and_Chil.

found on the way to Kokerbin rock for Earth Cache Day

Found by the cousin team. Tftc.

Our group started this series on a hot Australia Day, but finally had a chance to come back today to finish the trail of smileys. There are still three to be found, but overall we are happy with efforts! Today's weather was a bit kinder to the group and we had a great time - split into two groups of kids vs adults to see who would have the most finds at the end of the day, and I'm happy to report that us adults won! Thanks for the effort that has gone into creating and maintaining this series!

We began this series with muskcat83 and janssej back on australia day in scorching 41°C! We finally made it back today in 17°C temperatures. Tftc

Found with Crouchey

Monts decided today was a good day for geocaching as he wanted uninterrupted napping, due to keeping me awake most of the night. TFTC Keego_and_Chil

A call went out and a plan was hatched to tackle the Wandoo series. Very early this morning we joined forces with WebblyWA to see how we would fair and with the expectation that it would be good to complete at least half the series. We started and just cached, cached and cached finishing 11.5 hours later with 138 finds and the series completed apart from one that is temp disabled. Had a great day and a huge thanks to the CO's and those that maintain the series. Sorry for the mostly generic logs.

TFTC Keego_and_Chil this is find # 1640 for us

January's challenge mission for me was to collect at least 300 caches. Knowing I could get almost half way there with one series, I put out a call to see who would like to join me on an epic WANDOO day and Team Fratra was up for it so plans were made. We met up early collecting the first cache at 6.45am. Completing the series 11 and a half hours later, with No DNFs and only one glitch left on the map of a cache that is currently disabled. My total for the day finished up with a few extras at 140 as darkness, wind and rain set in.

It was a wonderful day and we had great weather for the majority of the day. Massive thanks to the COs and everyone that has put work into maintaining the series.

Cache #44 for the day. TNLN

A big day out with Oshiel and Jjjzellis to finish the bird sequence of the Wandoo series. TFTC This was find number 8 of the day. The cache was in good order.

Decided to get out this afternoon and finish off the "birds" leg of the Wandoo power trail.
All found quick and easy. TFTH's

Another fun find with Just-Lookin while on a 3 week geocaching trip around the Perth area.
We really enjoyed the drive around finding some of the wandoo series of caches.
*Soon found.*

Enjoying a holiday in Perth with tmann421 and collecting a few caches along the way.
Another great find here. TFTC

Found Wandoo – Little Wattlebird. The 2nd favourite point goes to this cache. No trackables to trade TNLN SL TFTH Keego_and_Chil.

Another quick find here. TFTC

Cool cache.

Out to complete a few more caches in the Wandoo series today. I thought the weather would catch up with me sometime during the day but I seemed to be lucky and missed all the rain. I found the first cache at 10:46 and the last one at 17:35 before calling it a day. All in all There was sixty three finds and three DNF's, so a fairly successful day. This was find number three for the day and was a fairly quick find, Thanks keego and chil for the cache.

Kind it

Another quickie. Cache is in good condition. Thanks Keego & Chil.

Another Aussie bird that I do not need to see to know they are around me campsite !!
Their distinctive call is all I need to know they are around

TFTC too !! [^]

Due to the +40 heat predicted today, The Wandoo series was highest on the geocaching list. This was due to being mostly park and grab, therefore it was 50/50 between air conditioning and searching.
Had a great day and really enjoyed it with over 100 finds and a couple of DNF's. Thanks for your effort Keego and Chil

Decided to try my first extended run on a "power-trail" and chose the Wandoo Birds to see how I went. TNLNSL TFTC K&C

With a week touring around Perth, some time obviously had to be made for caching out here on the west coast. I started the day off slowly today with some short hikes, and then by lunchtime had decided to attempt a solo 100-caches-in-day.

A very easy find here, and clue noted down.

This was #60 in total of 105 today (DNFs = 0 so far).
Woohoo - this makes it 50 of the Wandoo Series caches at 15h30, and I may just make the 100 total I'm aiming for today!

Thanks for placing this cache, Keego and Chil, and thanks to all the COs who set out the Wandoo series.

Found with Le Boof on a nice spring day. Another find just 2m from the car.

TFTC, Great day out on this massive trek; with the AusWarrior. This is 100 finds for me

Originally logged under family name of clan-wallace now slowly transitioning to new name

Day 3
We intended to find the remaining caches in the series today so that only the bonus box would be left for the journey home on Sunday. Once again there was hardly any traffic on the roads so we quickly polished off the remaining minerals on our way to Beverley to get petrol. Then back up to Yarra road, where the dust & heat defeated us yesterday, to round up the last 10 animals & a leisurely return to Beverley to net all the birds. sounds O.K. but we encountered our first DNF of the series & it must contain a vital clue as we never did come across an 'M'.
Another excellent day. Thanks for the scenery, the flowers, the trees, the minerals, the animals, the birds, the weather, oh and the caches.

Out with krabiboy today picking up as many of the series today i really enjoyed it can't wait to get out and finished it. TFTC

Caught up with Loudy16 to head out and attempt to finish off my Wandoo Series today. I messaged Allied Oz a few days before to see if he wanted any maintenance done, and he decided to join us for the adventure. Great day out on the trails with all remaining Wandoo caches found. A massive thanks to all of the COs involved in making this series happen. TFTC Keego_and_Chil

Well I think the civilised way to do this series. M4yb, Me&B and I headed out in the Geoyota Ute for a drive from Yarra Rd to end in York for the night and come home with the others of the series.

Thanks Keego and Chil

At last our return to this great series! We: Me&B, megawat60 and I, together with the GeoUte, had a great week-end of caching doing these. Most caches were found quickly, some took a few more minutes because of clever camo or placement.
My gratitude goes to the CO's of these caches, for all the hard work in planning, placing and maintaining these caches. TFTC K&C!

I teamed up with megawat60 and m4yb (well they let me tag along really!) for a weekend of caching to catch some smilies and finish this series which we had started at the end of last year. The weather was a little damp but we had a warm car to climb back into and seeing the Australian bush wearing her prettiest Spring-carneval-outfit was food for the soul.
All were nice easy finds with some pretty containers in between to keep us interested.

Thanks for the series guys, the effort you all put in is very much appreciated.

TFTC

Found with the family... So chilly... Looking forward to a nice hot roast dinner... Tftc!

TFTC! After finding the D5 Twist of fate cache I decided to head over to York to complete a bunch of the wandoo I missed back in 2012.

All found quickly this time. Thanks

Spent the day caching with my mini cachers and muggle parents. Easy Find, Mr 6yr old loving these ones, I'm sure it's a day he wont forget as we are aiming to break our record of 12 in a day. Looks like we have with a total of 30 found TFTC

Great day of caching. TFTH

Number 38 for the day with the ValoForce crew for a great days caching. We began here and headed to Beverly. Starting out at 9:30am and cached our hearts out til dark. That didn't stop us finding the last 4 with torches and umbrellas as the rain rolled in. A fantastic series and full credit to the champions who created it!!! A day the kids will always remember and look back on fondly TFTC

no TB in cache

we borrowed a friends car and set out early to attack some more of this series. had a good day retreating home with 48 finds for the day. so mikirst and myself were very happy with that outcome . tftc

A successful day caching with S'n'N to tackle more of the Wandoo series. Great series. Easy find

Two big days of geocaching first we tackled the minerals and then on to the birds we completed all with only one DNF!

We had a great time thanks again guys for the series

Frenweh* and nick

Quick find as was quite exposed.

On a mission to make 300 finds for the month of March and what better way to get some numbers than tackle the Wandoo Series. Found the first one around 10:15 and decided to call it quits about six hours later after 59 finds and 2 DNF's. Most were found without too much trouble although there were a few tricky ones thrown in here and there.

Thanks to the CO's for this masterpiece of a series.

Parked within 1 meter of this one for a nice quick find.

A big day had been in the planning fr sometime with Spatialriq and today it had finally arrived.
The goal was to complete the Wandoo series in a single day. An early start was arranged and we found our first cache at 6.01am. The last, the Bonus box. at 5.01pm Exactly 11 hours later.
A great day on the road and great company. All caches were found fairly quickly with spot on co-ords with the exception of one DNF.
A credit to the four cache owners on this series and the ongoing mantenance to keep it aliv. Well done.

This was cache number 33 out of 132 for today. Also our total find number 2910
Thanks Keego_and_Chil for this hide.

For the past few months, Kyzabra and I have been trying to find a day to tackle this series. Fortuitously it ended up coinciding with the last blank day my geocaching calendar.

We met up at 6am at the Rock Inne Tavern and worked our way around the series. By the time we found the final puzzle cache it was 5pm ... for me it was 147 finds (and yes I found 3 more on the way home) ... I couldn't miss getting 150 in a day when I was that close . Oh, and only 1 DNF for the day. What's a day of geocaching without at least 1 DNF! [:o)]

Thanks to the 4 CO's who put this series together and keep it going. TFTC.

Found with jasenjanine... TFTC Keego_and_Chil [^]

Out tackling the Wandoo series with the kids today & wondering just how many we will find before they are totally sick of it The kids are being fantastic & we are flying through the series now with yet another quick find!
