Description
Le Geographe Ship 1825
Hidden as Part of the GeoArt games.
This Series of GeoArt Caches are in the shape of the Ship, they will tell you the story of Baudin as he leaves his Homeland.
There is a lot of local history as you meander around the Lower South West of WA, shipwrecks, stories, artifacts, and several original homesteads to pursue.
As History goes, this story started in the early 1800's.
It is a series of caches which traverse along the Busselton Bike Path, showcasing the wonderful Geographe Bay.
Let the Historical Journey continue...
Built of Australian casuarina wood, it was aptly named Casuarina.
To be continued...

Logs
With this one being placed so very close to GC4F4H9 my instincts tell me that this container has been taken from its original hiding spot, aquired and adopted as replacement for the GC container which presumably went awry.
Perhaps CO could come down and verify?

This cache was a quick find however it was not down low but in the top of a stump. It was very, very close to a nearby GC cache, GC4F4H9. Several teams had signed the GeoArt cache log but had not logged it on the GCA site. On checking we found they had logged their finds as finds on the GC cache.
Thanks for this cache POOD. We will claim a {FTF} as the first GA cachers to find and log this cache on the GCA site. It may be worthwhile for the CO to relocate this cache so that it is further from the GC cache so confusion is avoided.
