Description
Le Geographe Ship 1820
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...

Really like how each cache in the geoart is based on the Geographe Ship story. Unfortunately we were going the wrong direction which was due to where we were staying. It was a fluke we found the cache.. it must have buried itself like an echidna. TFTC pood.

This afternoon we continued our walk along this pathway and our search for more of the GeoArt caches. This was the first on our list.
After a short excavation we spotted the container. Although it was wet on the outside the log was dry and in good order. We sat on the seat nearby to sign the log.
Thanks for this cache POOD. It was a beautiful afternoon for a walk along the bay.

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.
