Was out doing some caching in the area on a nice sunny day and traveled around dropping off lots of moveables. I collected lots of other caches whilst out and about. It was an interesting morning and took me around many suburbs and into the hills. I ended up travelling about 200km when i only intended to do a short drive. I saw lots of interesting sights whilst out and about as some of the moveables were in great locations whilst others were in areas requiring lots of walking. After heading back to the northern suburbs and down the coast i found a few moveables that were hiding and did not realize were still in my car. So i dropped them off in a convenient spot on my home which was an easy spot to get to without detouring around. So i am hoping that squeaky tonka tough travels far and wide in his travels.

Having only had 6 days off since Christmas I had a 2-day break for a change and decided to hit the road and log some caches, collect some moveables and see some sights. I headed off early and the journey took me to Greenmount, Darlington, Wundowie to try and find my moveable there and on to Northam for a quick break.

I headed on towards Goomalling but ended up making a detour to Malabine back to Jenapullin to grab a gc cache which had me intrigued. I then headed across to Jennacubbine which has an amazing tavern, CWA and go kart track out in the middle of nowhere in the Wheatbelt.
From there I continued up through Goomalling and up to Konnongorring for a quick stop. Off into Wongan Hills to grab some caches before heading out to Mt Brown lookout. What an amazing view from there and grabbed some caches nearby as well.

From Mt Brown I travelled across to the Gt Northern Highway and headed down to New Norcia which now has a bypass around it, so it was very quiet there. I could get out of the car and wander along the road and not one car came past amazing. From New Norcia headed on down to Bindoon to grab some caches and then eventually made my way back home.

So I ended up out for 10hrs and lots of km’s and a great day was had all round with lots of caches in tow and lots logged as well.
Found squeaky hiding with a friend and he was glad to see me and some new friends.

Enjoying the view.

Found this cache when helping Gwiber and Chwiliwr remove it from his car after his trip out east with the better half collecting them all. Thanks for the cache.

The better half and I went out for a drive in the country picking up some traditional caches and a whole load of moveable ones. The sealed roads that we went on were obviously OK but according to the better half not the gravel and 4wd ones which only confirmed her aversion to going down them in any vehicle.

After the failure to find the ones down south near Yarra Road we came here to collect the this one and the other 3 here. Unfortunately the hiding place was full of water which meant the moveables here were quite wet and messy so will have to be dried out and cleaned up before going out again.

Thanks for the cache.

Time to catch up and log all the moves made for the large number of moveable caches that we have accumulated over the last months.

On the trip out into the Wandoo forrest area with the better half doing some maintenance of my caches after a fire and we dropped off a number of moveable caches along the way.

I was being looked after by Chwiliwr and the better half for the day at their place and whilst there saw a whole big group of moveable caches that were being organised for a move somewhere by my grandparents so played with them for a bit before they were packed up. (Those that were not too fragile to be played with.)

Thanks for the cache.

The better half and I took Gwiber for a drive to Bunbury and beyond to do some GCA moveable recovery and a couple of the new caches as well.

'Found' this cache in the hands of tbh after Gwiber 'dropped' it in Bridgetown.

Thanks for the cache.

'Picked Up' this moveable after Gwiber had dropped whilst we had a break before heading home again.

Moveable will be dropped closer to home soon.

Thanks for the cache.

dropped off for tbh to pick up

Chwiliwr and the better half took me on a GCA caching trip to Bunbury and further south to pick up some moveables and do some other GCA caches along the way.

This moveable was one of the ones collected on the trip.

Thanks for the cache.

Arrived at GZ to see multiple grass-trees it could be in or under, challenge ahead! My phone's GPS kept bouncing around under the big tree, so began searching general area, under many grass trees, 2m up one gum tree, and under a log. Was about to give up when luckily my GPS settled saying 1m away; stuck out my hand and there he was, atop a grass tree. Now off and racing to new adventures, will endeavour to re-hide worthy of Diff=4.5

Long hunt thru all the nearby grass trees but no joy. Hoping to get some last minute points for the GCA game

Too many grass trees so not able to find this moveable after picking up the other one nearby.
