Description
Le Geographe Ship 1808
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...
A third ship joined the French expedition in Port Jackson, when Baudin decided to purchase a locally built schooner which was 30 tons, and 29 feet [8.85 metres] long.
To be continued...

Logs
It took us a while to locate this container, not because it was buried in leaf compost but because of the muggles walking and riding by on a regular basis. In the end our patience payed off and we had a container in hand.
Thanks for this cache POOD. The view from the bridge nearby was very interesting.

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.
