A circular nice walk to the point and back through the middle (kind of!). A quick find. TFTC!

Caching in the area we found your cache along the way.

Many thanks Lil Rafa for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Hi Lil Rafa,

Thanks very much for your 'Flem' series. I loved the cache names and enjoyed the puzzles, done some time ago, but needed planets (and ducks?) to align before today's walk eventuated. (First time though, geocaching in this area without your company - never mind, I'm sure you had fun today, as did I.)
A nice quick find, and yes, geoSonE was again keen for food (surprisingly) and a rest (are we there yet syndrome).
While Alby was removing his jumper, and the younger member laid down for a rest.
Thanks for the adventure, we're off to the next one.


Today ended up being the day that AlbyDangles and I finally got round to a caching walk on the 5Mile/7Mile sand spit. It was a while in the planning, dependent of both weather and tide, as well as availability (and fitness/health) of the three individuals involved.
Just after 7am this morning geoSonE (aka Junior EP, JEP, etc) and I left the 5 Mile Beach car-park with geoMate AlbyDangles, a formidable team and fabulous company.
We walked along beaches, hardened sandy trails, soft deep sandy trails, undulating hill and gullies laden with cones and needles, a well formed road, and most other surfaces in between, including hallways, corridors, and avenues.
We saw black cockatoos, a variety of sea birds, horses, dogs, muggles, aeroplanes (of varying sizes!) and an occasional pinus radiata.
We had a break on 7 Mile Beach while geoSonE built a sand castle, and later a lunch break out of the wind on the dunes.
9 hours, 19 caches, and nearly 17km later we were back at the car-park. We then decided to go and clean up (for EeePees at least) a few caches near the end of the runway (a 2km return walk after a short drive) , and then a few of the newish park and grab GC Journey series caches on our way home.
A great day with excellent company, all 3 sharing the finds, 21 caches all up. Some of the smaller logsheets signed as EPs + AD.
EeePees count for the day, GC 7, GA 8.

"Hello Lil Rafa thank you for the cache.

Another relatively easy puzzle. The cache was quickly found by EeePees.

EeePees and I had been planning on finding the cache along 5 Mile Beach and Seven Mile Beach for some time now, today we finally got around to do it.
After an early morning start at the carpark at the end of 5 Mile Beach Road we walked along the beach with junior EP in tow and collected caches as we went.
We then ventured inland and found more caches before coming back out near the end of 5 Mile Beach.
From there it was a up and down walk across the point to Seven Mile Beach working our way back to the car ducking in and out of the bush as needed to find caches.
I must admit I did like the break as we sat on the dunes and had lunch.
After lunch it was mostly a case of trudging our way along the soft sand on the inland track finding more caches.

Thank you EeePees and JEP for the great day and for finding the caches I didn't see, it was a great day.

TFTC"

This was another puzzle we had solved before Christmas but had not considered looking for it due to our family Christmas, New Year and January events this year. As we had a few spare days at the end of January we had planned a caching trip to the central highlands and Strathgordon. Fires put an end to our plan so hear we are walking through the 7 mile beach beach reserve.

As we approached this hide a group of Black Cockatoos screeched their displeasure but allowed us to locate the cache. This box was very well hidden under its natural camouflage and the container and contents were in good condition. We hope the cockies will not return and dismantle the cover.

Thanks for this cache Lil Rafa. We enjoy spotting native wildlife while caching.

Went for a bike ride with the boys today purely to get this run of caches.
Took just under an hour out and back, including finding the caches and a few photos and look at the view at the far end
TFTC, great to see the view of the area from here as I had never been out here before

Another bike ride out centre road to get some caches. TFTC

While Mrs W was out finding and moving moveables, Mr W got out his bike, replaced a tube and threw it on the car and headed out to find the new caches that had appeared since he last walked in. Today he thought riding on Centre Road would be quicker than walking. After pushing the bike through the sand for the first GZ he reappeared on the gravel road after the weighbridge and rode along a bit further and soon had the second cache found. Back on the bike and soon the next GZ appeared and this cache was found. Mr W was enjoying his bike ride but it was only when he reurned to the car and checked his GPSr he realised he had missed one-the furthest one. So was riding quicker than walking? Probably not seeing he has to return. TFTP

It was a long, hot and dry walk out but we challenged ourselves with timed distances and soon arrived at this cache as we headed back toward civilization. Whilst the cache was well hidden we noticed the tell-tale signs of a hide and enjoyed the shade here as we signed the log. Thanks for another good puzzle Lil Rafa

thanks for the cache

Hi Lil Rafa
Spent the morning working out puzzles and then decided to go get some caches
I doubled up on this puzzle; just once or twice though
Picked up DnA! on the way and headed for the first two caches found, we continued on to this cache
Sainted this one at 1425 hours
Thanks for the joint *FTF* with Mr DnA!
Love the little blue flowers growing near this cache
The round trip by car was exactly 142 kms; walking facet of the finds took 5280 steps; thus burning 1365 calories and footing it a distance of 4.06 kms.
Enjoyed the find
TFTC and cheers
