Adventure Out - Chapman's Pool Warner Glen, Western Australia, Australia
By BibraBoys (with the help of "Goosey") on 21-Jan-07. Waypoint GC10FZE

Thanks BibraBoys for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces whilst camping in the area.

As we arrived Granett was there with the cache in hand so made for an easy find of an unloved cache in great condition.

Found as part of an three day trip through the South West whilst camping down at the Warner Glen/Chapman’s Pool camp site.

We headed off mid morning on the Friday and cached our way through Bunbury, Busselton and Margaret River before setting up camp in Warner glen with Allied oz and Granett, collected around 15 finds for the day.

Day 2 saw us get up early and meetup with allied oz, granett, the jokers and Leg5 to complete the latest installments of the rails to trails series. The track was quite muddy, which resulted in mud all over faces, shirts and up our backs from the tyres flicking it. A good morning and we rode back to the cars in the pouring rain just before it cleared up. We collected a few others for the day in Jewel Cave, Hamelin Bay and Cosy Corner.

Our last find for the day was the Alternative Reality Cache along the rails to trails which was a great one to knock off and hopefully groundspeak make them another cache type down the track.

We finished up back at Camp and setup for the evening for the “BYO marshmallows III” event with PP2, allied, the jokers, granett, Kyzabra and ringtailposs.

We finished up on the Sunday grabbing one cache on the way home, Punch and Judy, which was a 12km detour off Sues Road, and a good walk to collect the 12months of unloved.

A great weekend away and 40 odd finds for the weekend which is always a plus.

Thanks to all the local COs and Granett/FOTT for the event.

After setting up camp I went for a wander with this one being on the radar. Rummaged around for a few minutes before I spotted the likely hidey hole and discovered a cache in perfect condition. Then wouldn't you know it two unlikely lads arrived as I was signing the log, had bit of chat with Barnzie & Cravo before heading off in different directions.

Love finding these lonely archived hides.

BibraBoys (with the help of "Goosey") I found your cache at 3:29pm, this was the 3rd of 4 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 5326. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Thanks for the hide. Out for a drive trying to find some FTFs in Margaret River I thought why not try this one. With a hint from the photos I found the cache safe and sound a little further down the hill. Placed the log book in a new container with a fresh zip lock bag. Interesting to see how much caching has changed since this one was placed. This being only one of a handful of caches in the south west at the time.

Heading Down to Sues Bridge for a weekend of camping with the geokids.
I spied this archived cache and thought " why not ?"

First gz was not revealing anything so expanded my search and found a VERY UNLOVED cache. Still intact and now with my name included

Thanks for bringing me here Bibraboys. Your cache is still OK (for now. If it's gonna stay, the next archived hunter could bring a new container and log bag. They are starting to perish. )

Does this cache still count as it is archived. Bit of a hike back to the track.
I obviously loaded this cache into my GPS some time ago and did not know it was archived until I came to log the find.

Still in good nick

Awesome spot! Will be back for a hand at redfin fishing soon. Will collect cache contents then unless anyone wants to grab it first.

What a great spot for camping. Pete&Lyn took bottle opener as the cache is being de-commissioned. Signed log book.

After a great couple of days in the Balingup / Nannup area doing some 4WD & Geocaching we decided to check out Chapman's Pool along with fellow Geocachers Pete&Lyn. Really nice & well equipped camping grounds, great GC location. Took 'Tread Lightly' stubbie holder & because this cache is being disbanded we left nothing.Signed log.

A nice walk in the bush at a lovely spot on the river.

Found while on Holiday at Chapman Brook and only our second find! Good spot, our GPS a little different but with heavy tree cover we expected that. Still in very good condition due to protected location. No detectable side track to cache. As being disbanded we didn't leave anything (felt very guilty) but let the kids take a whistle, soccerball keyring and sticker. There's still a good 'tread lightly' stubby holder, and (possibly holiday-saving) bottle opener amongst other things. Handful of 'found you' cards, but sadly, NO trackable items we could move on. Thanks for the fun find.
p.s. No sign of "Boomerang Keyring" TB??

What an awesome spot. Cache was easily found which is good, because still learning to use GPS lol

I have decided to close down all my caches and wind back my geocaching activities (my life is sufficiently busy enough!). So I am posting this note to all my caches with the following offer:

1. Someone can offer to take ownership of the location, cache container etc. You can keep the name or rename it - thats up to you. Just email me to confirm.

2. Some of you may have wanted this location and have a better idea for it. So you would prefer I archive the site and deal with it accordingly. Again, let me know so I can archive it ASAP.

3. Some of my caches are unique and on-going maintenance for a "caretaker" would prove difficult. Im fairly sure I know which ones fit this bill, so no doubt I will simply archive these. But feel free to request I don't and take ownership of them.

I will look at having all caches of my list by the end of October 2008 - so make sure you let me know asap. Any caches needing maintenance as at today will be dealt with first ie archived sooner rather than later.

I dont really want to leave the container and contents to rot in the bush. If anyone wants to grab the container and contents and use for their own devices - go for your life. Just email me to let me know. I'm not sure what I would do with a box full of trinkets (except perhaps the bin?), so it would make me happy if they could be moved to other caches.

Those outside the metro area will be harder to retrieve in the short term, so I request that the next few visitors remove and keep the contents, email me etc so I can shut the cache down.

Please move on all TBs ASAP. I wont archive any caches where TBs still remain.

I will continue to let my own TBs circulate and this will likely be the limit of my participation.

Thanks to all for your support of my caches. Its been fun!

Bibra Boys.

found around lunchtime on a beautiful spring day, wildflowers are magic at this location. Quiet today, a good time of year to visit.

L. a surprise

A quick stop on our way through to Margaret River had this one in hand at 3:25pm. Looks like a pretty good camping area.
took nothing
left ball
thanks Bibra Boys & Goosey

Found with Anonymous Legion whilst camping in the area, Easy find, Nice spot, Many thanks for the cache.

What an awesome spot. Cache was easily found by Dharma Team's geo-kid. Will have to come back with the tent...


TNLN, and TFTH!

Great place to camp or for a day trip. The cache was a little damp so we put everything in an extra sandwich bag. TFTC!
T: handkerchief
L: bottle opener

Found @2:38:26 PM (Cachemate time)
We think that this is a lovely place to camp. (perhaps much better than where we were actually camped).

The cache is very damp, perhaps due to the lack of waterproof qualities of the cache container.

What a good place for a camp. Was wet and sprinlkey today so no one else was around. Got a little wet from the moisture on the leaves but not actually raining on us. Watched the little wrens hopping down the path in front of us. So sweet.Last geocache of our 2 week holiday. And so back to reality!!

Had an aboslutely beautiful day at the pool with the kids. If you have a boogy board I can recommend a paddle to the Blackwood. Picked up Wanda the Wildflower Wanderer TB here.

Loved this spot as there were few people about. Great spot for a swim.

looks like a great spot for marroning

Second find on our Augusta holiday, Chapman's pool is a lovely spot. T Golf ball, L Bouncy ball & calling card, SL. I was tracking down the cache only to meet WanderingAus doing the same thing, nice to meet you Keith. TFTH. Kim.

Met TeamRoc on the way to the cache, it was a quick find but he found it first Allways nice to meet a fellow cacher during the hunt.
It's a lovely spot, Enola and I camped here in January 2004 on our first trip with the off-road camper trailer.
LCC, T shopping bag, L mini lava lamp, grabbed 3BlindEyes Addicted to Caching GC, dropped GB Outlaws 2006 Kiwi Geocoin.
Thanks for bringing me back to a great spot BibraBoys & Goosey.

Peaceful forest.

we must have followed Map Monkeys around this week as we arrived a day after them at 5 or 6 caches

tftc

An easy find, with the coordinates being acceptable.....a simple, quick find in a nice area. We would have loved to stay longer, even camp for a few days, however we just didn't have time sorry.

Thanks for the cache and its location.

Found it, even though it was 19 metres from ground zero. I saw no evidence of a travel bug. TNLN. TFTC

Thanks for the hunt, we are new to this sport so the kids had a ball finding it. We live down here and have never visited this spot! we will be back with surfski for sure.

found it fairly easily.

Nice hide. Left TB - please move far and wide!

Saw a boat and a doggie on the boat. A bit tough to find but we managed. Nice place to campervan. I'll be back one day.

It was only a short detour to this one after finding Down in the Corner so we made final stop to find this as the light was fading. This looks like a beautiful area to spend time on the water on a sunny day. We had a bit of trouble getting a lock on ground zero, but we finally found the cache with a little help from the hint.

Found @ 1200. Beautiful spot - will definitely be on our list of places to come back to. We could 'hear the serenity'!

Found the way into this by good fortune as much as good planning, as we had omitted to check out the map beforehand!! Lovely area, unfortunately all our camping gear is still in Tassie! Found cache and read that Ricklink had been there just over an hour before . . . could that be them at the bbq still??? . . . sounded out the innocent muggles having lunch, who denied being known by any Rich type name, so obviously we will have to wait longer to meet any WA cachers! TCrop circle geocoin, L frog.

A late logging from an earlier holiday t0 Margaret River. This was lovely spot, thankfully the weather was good. Had to try the crayfish later that night at a restaurant and it was lovely to.

Found the cache at 1.50pm. Accompany with Varuna. Very nice area. from now I will retrun back and camp there. so beautiful area. No swap. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

This place is beautiful and cleanest campsite include toilet we have ever been to. It took us a while to find the cache due to the tree coverings. Found it and the cache is in a good condition. We will come back for camping soon. T: key ring; L: Gold coin. Thanks for the great location, campsite and hunt.

anouther good find on our trip thanks

Firstly thanks to Bibra Boys & Goosey for bringing us to this wonderful spot where we set up camp for 4 days. Not wrong about the water being clean and clear - wonderful for canoeing and swimming. The toilets here were the cleanest we've ever seen anywhere. Our only misery were the March Flies but a bit of bug spray soon sent them packing. We found the cache easily at 13.25 and in good condition.
Took Nothing

Rated: for Overall Experience

First for the day on our holiday in Gracetown. Easy find by geokid #2.

Took TB Blackwolf to be placed on the "Blackwood".

Thanks Bibraboys for the hunt.

A great camping spot, just up the road from another favourite spot of ours. A Great spot to put TB Black Wolf, an adventure out to a first to find cache, sorry not a horsey one, but thought the idea of the 1st to find would be a great achievement. Thanks for this one!!!
