Description
Le Geographe Ship 1806
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...
However, her spacious hold made her well suited for carrying home the huge collections of specimens gathered by the naturalist Peron.
To be continued...

Logs
For once we made a quick find at this spot. The coordinates were good and the cache was not buried.
Thanks for the cache POOD. This is a nice spot but we moved on quickly when the mosquitoes appeared. This was our last find today so we'll be back tomorrow to finish off this series. We look forward to the walk along the last section.

The Better Half and I were going to Bridgetown for the weekend but wasn't expected there before late afternoon so decided to come to Busselton to do the newer Adventure Labs before heading onto to Bridgetown.
After doing some of the Lab caches we started down the coast to do as many of the ship caches as we could before we had to leave for Nannup. In the end we 25 of them all with blank logs so joint *FTF* with The Better Half on them. Some caches were harder to find than others as they seem to have ended up quite buried. All were signed and returned as we found them.
Thanks Pood for placing these geoart caches for us to find. We will have to come back some other time to finish them all.
