Description
Le Geographe 1813
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 Begin...
Baudin and his large group of scientists left Le Havre in 1800 in two ships, Le Geographe and Le Naturaliste, names which indicated the intent of the voyage.
To be continued...

Logs
Firstly we found ourselves on the wrong side of the fence so a little back tracking occurred. We then spent a lot of time excavating hollows around the tree base. We were about to give up as our allocated search time had been exceeded
when we noticed a very deep hole at the base of a branch about knee high. It took a while to get all the accumulated debris out but under this we found the container.
Thanks for this cache POOD. The log sheet in this container was damp but is still usable..

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.
