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

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

I noticed this cache during a long walk on a crazy hot day whilst caching amongst the fir trees. Solved it whilst out in the field and enjoyed the short walk to GZ. TFTC!

Hi Lil Rafa,

Thanks for the cache; have enjoyed the '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, so, thanks )
We found this on our way back to the car, our pace was beginning to slow a little!
After a short time wandering around in circles (if one can 'wander' here) the GPSrs finally settled and the cache was soon found by Alby, signed and replaced.
Many thanks for providing us with multiple geocaching experiences today, and just like Rafa, my young fella has also run out of 'treats'

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.

The cache was easily found.
As we arrived from the wrong side of a invisible boundary there was a bit of hesitation as we got close to GZ.

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.

Both team members are born cricket fanatics so enjoy being able to look for a cache that celebrates both summer and cricket. We had no trouble solving the puzzle and as the fires in the Central Highlands had thwarted our caching plans we now had the opportunity to look for this cache and the others in the area we had not found.

Accurate coordinates enabled us to make a quick find of a well hidden container. The cache was in good condition.

Thanks for this cache Lil Rafa. We were surprised to see how much the trees had grown since we were last here.

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 it would be quicker than walking. After pushing the bike through the sand he made a quick find at GZ and then reappeared on the gravel road after the weighbridge to head for the next cache. TFTP

We parked reasonably close to GZ but did some other caches of each others first. We spotted where we thought it would be so I stayed still and guided SSR around the trees to it. Yep it was the correct spot. Thanks Lil Rafa

after a few moments searching the cache was found in good condition
found with GooseandEgg while on a bit of a clean up

Hi Lil Rafa
