Find number 14319 at 3:39:05pm on Saturday the 5 October 2024We're on our way to WA Goes Big, travelling from Croydon (Melbourne, Victoria) with a caravan in tow and making a leisurely caching holiday across the Nullarbor and back.Well, WA Goes Big is done for another year and we are on our way home again now, via Perth, Kalgoorlie and the Nullarbor but slowly over the next five weeks Today we headed in to visit the Fremantle Gaol and to look around the area, we also grabbed a few geocaches on the way back to camp.This is a very imposing memmorial and truely a magnificent location.**Thanks for placing this cache jinta29**---*WOW, so much happening at home in Victoria*Dont forget to log your will attend for Victorias first ever Block Party in March 2025, the [**The Sunbury Event**](https://coord.info/GCAP417).Theres also all those lists of amazing geocaches at [Geocaching Victorias List webpage]( https://geocachingvictoria.com.au/information/great-caching-lists), go check them out.

Visiting Fremantle for the week from New Zealand.Am super impressed with the city so far and from our accommodation it's so easy to walk everywhere.As we are staying only a 5 minute walk from here, I wanted to watch the sun go down from up here, even though we have an amazing view from the balcony of our accommodation. We were not disappointed, and although many other people had the same idea as us, it was not overcrowded and allowed for taking a few good pics! A wonderful and obvious place for a virtual. Thanks for bringing us up here. Fav point added.

TFTC! Wow is understatement. What a view from up here. Thank you so much for bringing me to this part of the world. My answer has been sent to CO.

Found on what has turned out to be a beautiful day after a wet startCheers Steveo

Logging with permission. Stopped here on the way back from looking around Fremantle. Lovely spot with views all around. Thankyou for the virtual.

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 56 - Fremantle to Swan Valley Perth. I did not have far to go today, so after a slow start I did a few caches on the outskirts of Fremantle, including an amazingly big cemetery. I was able to check in to the van park at midday, so that was great and I was soon out again. I selected a run of caches along a freeway to fill in my afternoon. It was a mixed bag again. some fantastically sneaky caches, some that beat me. I ended the day with a Solstice event where it was great to meet some locals. I went back to my van and cooked dinner before a very wet night.This is a very impressive memorial site, and I have been here before, but that cache seems to have gone. I wandered around after my walk to a nearby cache and found the answers required and found a spot for an image or two.Thanks for the cache jinta2947920.3 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & GPS Maze Whittlesea 2022 A#503**Albida**

Following an unexpected afternoon in Freo, it was time to head back to the ranch but not before dropping by here so that my PiC could see the views ( and this cache for me of course ). Once we'd grabbed the necessary info and getting my PiC to take the snap of me at 15:20, we were off, after one last look at the views. Well worth a fave point. Thanks jinta29.{Logged with approval}

My sister in law lives on Solomon, I was stuck here during covid and often wandered up to this monument. There's no mistaking that background, I stared so often at the cranes.

We completed the cache in January, but we forgot to log it. We'll do that here. TFTC

Came to Fremantle for a couple of nights before embarking on a P&O cruise to the Kimberleys. On the morning of departure we went on a walk around town visiting Adventure Lab locations and places of interest. A visit to the War Memorial was part of our walk.

Full time nomads since February 2014, here to visit family.

Moving today from Pinjarra to Fremantle in the rain. Once set up we headed out to suss out the locations for the High Voltage Event tomorrow.

Well along with mundane task of getting fuel in the freezing wind we of course just had to stop for a cache or 2. Back at camp and thinking about dinner a knock at the door and jowiba a cacher we met many years ago when we first hit the road was knocking to say gday.

Then time to tune up the TV to watch the Kings coronation.

Love visiting this memorial. Definitely not our first visit here. Freezing today though. The ANZAC tributes still here today albeit looking a bit 'dried'

After travelling across the Nullarbor from Melbourne for a Family wedding in Perth we are now staying in Mandurah for a couple of weeks.

Answer sent to CO. Pic attached. TF placing the cache for us to complete on our travels.

SA’s Leap Year Event GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Can’t wait!!

Thanks for bringing me up to the memorial. Was a little wet and chilly this morning, hence the nearly shit eyes.

Our last day in Western Australia and it was time to visit Fremantle, very easy with the train from Perth and after arrival we started our tour around town, where we hoped to pick up some caches on the way. As we had to wait to get on the Prison tour we decided to walk up here, but not really a good idea, as it started raining as soon as we got close to the monument. Luckily the answer was on the side which protected us from most of the rain. Thanks for the and greetings from &

Goldy and Jimmy are off to Perth for a couple of days, our first time visiting the city and the state of Western Australia.

We came to cache, as well as visit Fremantle and Kings Park. We also watched the Fremantle vs West Coast darby at Optus Stadium.

Thanks to olthomas for giving us helpful clues to what free buses go where and also for some food recommendations. It was much easier thanks to your efforts!

All caches were signed "Jimmy and Goldy". Jimmy's cache name is "idontcachemuch", However, "Jimmy" is easier to write in a log book!

Jimmy and I did our own things for a little and this was the spot I came with my limited time.

I don't love war memorials in the sense that they are sad... but love that there's so many to remember the fallen.

Thank you for putting out this virtual cache, very cool location for it.

Nice views as well.

Answers sent and photo taken.

Thanks jinta29 for this virtual cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 2758 on the 3rd of April 2023.


I have hosted quite a few CITO's back in South Australia, making huge differences thanks to the people who came along!

Whether you're out finding caches or just taking a stroll somewhere, remember to always be CITO-ing to help maintain our parks and reserves!


**South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Hope to see you at The Great Leap Forward!**

Visiting from Wisconsin, USA. Thanks for taking me to this special memorial. It was nice exploring and giving thought to those who served and even nicer seeing others doing the same.

Thank you! Spending the day caching in Fremantle. Thank you for organising the virtual here. Answer sent as required.

Windy and sunny day. TFTC!

Today TaurusSix and I started the day in Perth so we decided to walk the bridge over to Optus Stadium, something neither of us had done before and along the way we collected the virtual and traditional cache on the bridge. It was a beautiful morning so a really nice experience. After that we headed to Fremantle to run some errands and collected several Adventure Labs, a virtual and a bonus cache. All in all a productive day in Perth and Fremantle and on top of that we collected a combined ally of 18, which is not bad far a non geocaching day ……..

This was our third cache of the day along with several Fremantle Adventure Labs. We had this on our radar for some time . So it was good to finally get to gz. Great views from there on such a beautiful sunny day. There were lots of muggles around so we needed to be a little stealthy while collecting the info. Great place and great virtual cache thanks jinta29, answers and photo will follow shortly.

I'm out and about witneva2old collecting happy faces along the way TFTC

Here for family Xmas enjoying the sun

Staying nearby for a week for a wedding, we made our way up here late in the evening tonight after dinner at a bearish restaurant.

Beautiful colours in the sky in the late sunset. It is 15 years since I was last here.

Cheers

Over visiting WA for the first time from Brisbane.
Freo is our last stop before heading home and back to work, sigh.
Got up for an early morning walk. Ran into hubby out searching the s coffee so he joined me.
This got the heart pumping but once up here the views were great.
Hubby is ex RAAF so he enjoyed this too.
Lovely virtual.

TFTC, lovely views

Found with fitzy_1965 on our dash around the country in 6 days.

Today we headed towards Fremantle for our targeted caching and an event that was on offer.

Nice quick find here today. Answers sent to CO who responded before we even got back out onto the main road.

Thanks for bringing us here jinta29.

28,679. Found with minniek during our long weekend adventure to Western Australia and the Northern Territory to finish our 'Around Australia in 2022' Challenge.

By the end of February this year we were lucky enough to have visited in and cached in five of the eight Australian states/territories (ACT/NSW/VIC/SA and TAS). With the Townsville Mega knocking off QLD in April, we decided we may as well do a trip to WA/NT to complete Australia in one year. This is that trip. Today we headed down Fremantle way for an event plus more caches. We headed up to find this 'new' Virtual - I did the old one back in 2008. We have sent our answer to the CO, and permission to log has been received.

Thanks Jinta29 !! Fav Point !

Nice one with the kids, thanks

HerIndoorsOutdoors and I are on our way to Europe from Melbourne to finally go on a tour that was cancelled in 2020 thanks to you know what, and for reasons I won't go into here (very long story) we are flying out of Perth. So, what better to do than plan a night in Freo and fill in the following day before our flight leaves, than do a little walking tour that includes picking up a cache or two or three.

After finishing our walking tour, we started motoring our way slowly back towards Perth Airport, via a couple of points of interest. The War Memorial was our first stop for the view and the cache. A quiet day, with perfect weather for the views.

Thanks for giving us an extra reason to visit the Memorial jinta29.

We visited this impressive monument tonight to pay our respects as well as complete the virtual. With the city lights in the distance it was a great experience to be had.
Thanks jinta29 for the Virtual placement.

Really easy, but offered a lovely view and made a magical morning with the family

I arrived here in a sunny gap between rain squalls. Wind still horrendous though. Fought the wind to the memorial. Answer sent. TFTC jinta29.

I love the places that geocaching takes us. We came up here for the virtual and loved the sunset view. Great time to be here and great place for a cache. Sent the answers for Vetteh89 and I already. Thanks for a great spot. We chose our monument because of its ties to the US. TFTC!!

Catching up with a late log.We are heading back towards Adelaide after visiting friends in Nanson, we had a bit of time to kill before our flight so of course off we went caching. We were mainly targeting adventure labs but also grabbing anything else that came along.We arrived here late in the afternoon not long before sunset and the lighting made the memorial look even more majestic. We had a look around at all the plaques and paid our respects while collecting the required information and the required photo.Many thanks jinta29 for setting up this virtual in a fantastic location, a favourite point from us.Lest We Forget

Got it.

Thanks for the adventure

Working our way up to Mindarie we thought we grab this one, it’s been on our list for ages. Leega messaged you with the answer on behalf of us both. I haven’t been up here for years and it’s great to see its being looked after so well. For the picture being ex navy it had to be at the Navy memorial. It always bring such mixed feeling being up here, thanks jinta for bring me back up here after so many years. TFTC jinta29.

Axell33 and I came up here for the cache on our way to the northern suburbs. It has been any years since I have been here and it still looks as wonderful as it always did! We spent many times up here when I was a small child with parents, grandparents and fish & chips at the monument! I noticed a few more additions to the memorials here. Emailed the answers for myself and axell33. Thanks for the cache and memories!

I have driven past so many times over the years and did not have the time to just stop. Thank you for bringing me here today, it’s really hot but I spent some time looking at each of the memorials. Thank you for the cache
