Hint needs editing - took a while but then found it. Damp inside so left some dessicant & a pencil.And I've seen quokkas on Rottnest Is!! They are 100% adorable. Gorgeous critters.TFTC
Found it the notepad was a little soggy unfortunately so could not stamp it thank you for the cache anyway.
Found it! Found this one nicely hidden log was a little damp but still signable! TFTC!
We returned to avenge this cache, encouraged by Grace_2024 finding it today. We pulled up totally in the right spot with Em spotting it immediately! The log is a bit soggy, I didn't have a replacement for it today. TFTC
First find in a year according to the log in the jar!! Definitely need to keep your eyes peeled Loved this!
We couldn't find this one! Either it's a very well-hidden rock cache, or it has been swept into a pile of dirt by the local council's road grader... we hope it's still there.
Found. Looks like a little moisture has been getting into it. Also the zip lock bag is getting a little damaged I didn't want to damage it anymore so didn't sign it.
Travelling through some dirt back roads to pick up a few caches. A little chilly but the sun is shining so perfect geocaching weather. Found without problems.
Thanks for the cache 3LG.

Mr Tardis was out for a ride today, and stopped here to find this one.
I found this cache after a short search. Some beautiful views out around the back roads in this area.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache LíB.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Been targeting caches that meet the criteria for the current wonders souvenir. This was one I needed to continue filling the grid. This morning with not a lot ro do I filled the geomobile with fuel and headed off.
This was the first one and once near GZ hopped put of the vehicle and with the engine running wandered over to the hide and uncovered the cache in the first place I looked. Took it back to the car to extract the log, stamp it and reassemble. Back to the hide and replace it as found.
Now onto the next one.

These early morning events sure make for more caching time
Today I was confused, so what else is new[?], and pulled into Vili's before realising there were no cars I knew in the carpark[xx(] So off to O'Connell Street Bakery I go![^]
Afterwards it was a CITO at Pooraka[^] and luckily the rain stopped just in time for us to wander around and collect rubbish[^]
JJ52 and I then drove to earthlight's house where we all piled into the Corolla and headed out for a fantastic day filled with laughs and cache finds[^]
By day's end, I'd found 22 caches while JJ52 had about 10 more and earthlight had much less than both of us as she frequently travels the area we cached!
We even caught up with brisal5 at Kenton Valley, as he grabbed his daily multi[^], although I did have to ring him to get him to turn around because he didn't see me waving like a lunatic as he drove past us
No Quokkas were seen either I'm not hvaing a good run with these animals today Mind you, I've seen every cache though so I'm not complaining[^]

Driving home after watching some of the family race their mountain bikes at Kerbrook, we decided to stop and find a couple of caches. This was the last of the 3 that we drove past and found. More interesting animal facts were dicovered. Thanks for placing this cache.
As the weather was nice today, the youngest of the Famous IV and I decided to grab some caches in the hills...and a few along the way. All up 15 caches were found and we had time for chips and stout at the Inglewood Inn and pizza at Glen Ewin Estate as well. The only disappointment for the trip was they weren't serving scones and tea at Newmann's Nursery. The country was looking good, the caches were in good condition and the sun shone upon us. TFTC
Today with a forecasted dry day, and wanting to take out mountain bikes to try out a new area, jesswrigley and I planned to ride the Kerrsbrook trails. I had heard good things about this area, and had a few friends to group ride in the morning. Surprising that there aren't any geocaches to find there yet, and the area certainly had quite technical downhill tracks. On our way home, we managed to find a few road geocaches, stopping off at Inglewood for a bakery lunch, and then brief stops in Houghton, and the Gun Emplacement in Anstey Hill Recreation Park. A little misty and nippy today, but otherwise not a bad day.
No problems with this cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks 3LG/LiB for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Found. No fake rock, log book a little damp, enclosed pencil doesn't write on damp paper, bring a pen.
I loved the quokka's on Rottnest Island when we lived in WA - many, many years ago - but today it was all about laying hands on the prize for Geoson. Great camo in place. Did a couple of swaps. SL. TFTC. 5 down, 5 to go!
Cache was bigger than expected. I’d call it a small not a micro.
Thanks for the cache 3LG.

Parked near GZ and had a search around but couldn’t holding anything. A read of hint pointed to something and the cache was found, although it is not a fake rock.
A last minute plan this morning to go for a drive and do some caching, it was a matter of just go to the next closest cache and see where I ended up, restricted by time. I started up near gameracha and cached around there and forreston area.
Good to be able to find some caches that haven not been found for a year or so. A total of 25 finds and 1 DNF.

After a big walk yesterday and the Boardwalk caches this morning it was time to get a few drive by's with minimal walking as I made my way back to the city for another event before heading home. [^]
I just love driving on these out of the way dirt roads admiring some pretty speccy views and finding caches along the way.

Cute little quokkas...TFTC 3LG

Unfortunately no Quokkas were sighted today but many raindrops were... accompanied by strong winds [:o]. The log within the cache was reasonably dry so i added moisture munchers to ensure it stays dry [^]

Found it with CherryRose after a funeral at Houghton. Log absolutely saturated and cache lid broken so replaced everything. TFTC TNLNSL
Quick easy find with Beary Organised after the Funeral at Houghton. TFTC TNLNSL
Hint on this one needs to be updated, it is only partially true.
A nice easy find though, the cachers trail led us straight to it, and we saw something that looked unusual from a ways off.
Some spiders have made their way into the container through a small break, but it probably doesn't need too much maintenance for now.
Nice quiet view over the fields from here.

A day out caching with Moneydork - -the weather was oh so fine so we decided hiking in the forest would be brilliant. And it was. I now must use the template log, I have my reasons for doing so -- ask me about it at an event sometime.
After collecting a few things in Gawler, we decided to take the rest of the day off and meander through some great scenery, collect a few smilies and then ............... shopping for our collections got in the way.
Thanks for the cache and adding a smile to our enjoyable day

We had decided to spend a few hours caching today as the rain had stopped and we felt the need for some outside time . We found quite a large spider guarding this cache which ran off as we retrieved the container to log the find. Quokkas are cute - shame we don't have them in the wild in SA. TFTC
I think the hint on this one could be updated. I went in looking for a rock, but found something different. An easy enough find though, probably no need for a hint.
Thanks 3LG.

Gloves advisable as there were lots of redbacks around - room for swaps . Rock a bit heavy for geo kids but geo Dad to the rescue .
Out with sir_spectre finding the odd cache or so on the way back from the murray.
Thanks 3lg
Thanks 3lg
out with rod81w for the day stopping at random caches on route from the murray river
Found with Csaba! and SupaOrange before I had a caching name. A very late log. Turtle out.
Out for a quick run with Sebastbat on my fourth anniversary of my first cache find!
No quokkas were seen here, but the cache was guarded by a very fat red back spider.
Gently replaced. . .

what a beautiful little road, and one I dont think I have ever been down before, really enjoyed the drive in this area today. Thanks for the Animal Facts and a Cache Cache is in great condition for the next finder.
Happy Caching,

Chatted to the local land owner who was workin on rebuilding his fences.Some LOWLIFES had stolen all his steel star pickets he'd just bought to replace his fence with. He's a bit suspicious of anyone stopping along this road, but all is good as he knows about the caches long here..TFTc 3LG
Found with upsanddowns, a quick easy find as we work our way around this area, collecting more in the Animal Facts series. tftc
