Description
Geographe Ship 1810
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...
Louis de Freycinet was placed in command of her, and in it conducted the close inshore survey work not possible in the larger ships.
To be continued...

Logs
The GPS had us between 2 trees so we searched both but after 20 minutes searching without finding the tiny container we admitted defeat and moved on.
Chwiliwr 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.
Whilst doing the Lab caches we called in to find this cache. This time we found it without problems. Log signed and cache replaced as found.
Thanks richlink for placing this cache for us to find.

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 Chwiliwr 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.
