Description
Le Geographe Ship 1819
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 Historial Journey Continue...
However, her spacious hold made her well suited for carrying home the huge collections of specimens gathered by the naturalist Peron.

Logs
With the last find in 2021, time has given these geoart hides some thick cover. We eventually unearthed the familiar container. TFTC pood.
Rated: for Overall Experience
After searching low without success we set our sights a little higher and soon had the cache container unearthed. Our search was interrupted regularly by muggles passing by quite close to the path on a regular basis.
Thanks for an other cache in this series POOD. The ever changing nature of the trees, shrubs and small plants along this Bike path is fascinating.

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.
