Coal Seam - Midwest History cache #3 Yandanooka, Western Australia, Australia
By Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder on 20-Jun-07. Waypoint GC13RTB

Heading back to drop Cracker Girl at Perth aairport after a friends memorial in Geraldton we thought we might as well grab a few more lga's and caches to break up the drive down.We were way laid by the views and spent a bit of time admiring the area before we got around to what we had to do and what we came here for.Hopefully this was a simple case of following the gpsr to gz where a nice size container was located quickly and our names have now been added to the log before returning everything as found. Many thanks for bringing us to this fantastic location and a nice hide

Great location, certainly need small hands to extricate TFTH TFTC

Exploring the region with pretty flowers to see

Thank you for the cache. Found the matchbox car in the river.

Nice to see a cache out in this beautiful spot. TFTC

A fantastic view. Traveling across the centre now for nearly 2 months and see some incredible sites.Thanks for placing a GC here.

Fab view on our adventures today!

What a great place even without wildflowers it is still stunning with the meandering River. Quick find and a great view. Tftc

The wildflowers have been very disappointing but certainly some rugged scenery here. Thanks

Thanks, not many wildflowers out but the views were still great

TFTC

Found on our way through Coalseam Park today. Great lookout up here.

It's not a good season but
The wildflowers, though small,
Are still beautiful.

Quick easy find. TFTC

Thanks a good find.

A beautiful spot to visit. Thanks for the cache

Camped overnight on the way to the Exmouth eclipse. Quick find TFTC.

Found it after camping at Miners for the night, great spot. TFTC!

On the road with axell33 heading north to Broome with a detour to Nullagine. Spending the day criss- crossing the golden wheatbelt on those less taken roads. We made here to find the cache in good order. Love a lonely cache find! Then enjoyed the area with its views. Thanks for the extensive history and information, it really does have it all! A favourite from me because there is a cache here! TYFTC.

Caching our way up to Broome, we took the long way around to grab this one. We parked the van and enjoyed the early morning walk to gz. A brief search turned up our prize and we soon had our names added to your log. We returned your cache back to where it resides and then headed over to take in the morning views. It’s always good to do a welfare check on one that hasn’t been found for awhile and happy to say that this one is holding up well. TFTC Ian&Sue Team Pathfinder.

Always wondered what was out here, took a cache to bring me for the drive though. Super spot. Thanks for the hide.

Checking out the wildflowers and this geocache. We weren't disappointed on both.
TFTC.

As we continue on our Creation safari it is interesting to see how all the geological features actually support the Creation model with it’s relatively fast formation as opposed to what you are suggesting. The layers that form repeatedly over sometimes thin and perfect planes is just one of these. Check out Creation Science if you want more.
This area was on our list of stops and I took the opportunity to grab a cache while here.

Quick find and a lovely view

Disappointing

I’ve been wanting to find this one for a while, and I found it

Took a photo down at the coal mines after I found the cache

TFTF. You need small fingers to reach this cache

Caravanning , caching and hunting wild flowers on this trip from S.A. A nice easy find on our way to Coalseam Nat Park. T.F.T.C.

Found on a trip to the west from South Australia.

After camping near Moora last night, I continued to head north.

This evening I’ve decided to camp at Coalseam CP, so headed out to the lookout just as the sun was setting for my last cache for the day.

Gosh this area has changed since I lived up this wY and used to come here in the mid-‘90s. And there’s a whole lot more people here now too!

Thanks Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder for the cache.

TFTC great place to hide it.

Love the view out here. TFTC

found

Good spot

It has been a day of showers off and on while going south with ilook4geo. This cache was easy enough to find and fits in its hide really well. All was good with the container and log. Didn't see anything much from the lookout except rain, so we hurried back to the car. Thanks for this cache placement go to Team Pathfinder.

Made a joint find here with goingplaces2. No problem in locating the container. All replaced as it was found after the signing had been done. TFTC.

Last of the Wild Flowers, but still a lovely walk. Coords a little off, but nicely tucked away TFTC

Nice quick find. Out and about on our 8th day of a nine day adventure TFTC

Thankyou

Spectacular views! Cool find our long weekend camping trip TFTC

Found it thank you

Tftc
Lovely piece of WA I never knew existed!

Beautiful views, spectacular wildflowers and a cache - perfect location.

TFTC Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder this is find #12566 for us.

Found while enjoying the view

Nice quick and easy find with Redruthguy. TFTC

With cmb212. Spectacular with the flowers. stunning views.

Ugh splinters. That's a tight fit. A bit off GZ but easily findable.

We made a trip to see some wildflowers and found this cache.
TFTC

Great hidey spot. Beautiful surroundings. TFTC

Beautiful spot tftc

Wow...What a Beautiful Place.Tha ks Devlishy for taking us here and TFTC

Not sure if we’re losing touch or if it’s disappeared! Will try again at a later date.

Found on our travels north. Beautiful spot, no crowds! Travel safe. Tftc.

On a road trip up to the Mid West. Today, we drove up to Coalseam Conservation Reserve and on to Mullewa where we stopped for the night. We enjoyed the variety of hides, particularly those that were placed on or near signs that depicted the history of the area. Thank you to all the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.
This really is a beautiful area to visit. We spent a few hours just exploring and enjoying the serenity of the area.
Find #4000 for us today.

Quick find great views
TFTC

Thanks for the cache

A bit of a bumpy ride in had the geo-twins in stitches laughing at how their voices sounded.

Once we got to the lookout we stopped for lunch before going to enjoy the view and find the cache.

Twas my father in law claiming the find here, I grabbed 3 TB’s to continue their journeys.

-----

With the school holidays upon us I arranged to take the geo-twins for a boys weekend away to the Northern Wheatbelt for some camping and caching, we were joined on the trip by my father in law as he grew up in the area and wanted to try and get to see some of the wildflowers.

-----

Day two has us doing a northbound loop looking to get 4 new LGA’s. We woke up refreshed and after breakfast and packing for the day we hit the road heading to Morowa, Mingenew, Mullewa and Yalgoo.

Saw some fantastic scenery and enjoyed leaving the black top a few times to get to where we were going.

Stopped by the Perenjori playground for a bit before dinner and the footy.

Thanks Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 2467 for me.

Clever hiding spot! Another awesome viewing spot. Thanks for the cache!

Checking out the wildflower and the view. Bonus that their is a cache here too. Quick find TFTH

What a beautiful location! Found this cache while out on a wildlife tour with Cam from Midwest Adventure Tours.

On a lovely wildflower trip through beautiful WA.

TFTC

Quick find in a gorgeous location loaded with wildflowers.

Beautiful sunny flowery spring morning .. great location for a hide, all in good condition

Was out on a wildflower pilgramage with my wife and inlaws. My mum in law is somewhat keen on geocaching. We are staying at Green Head with my father in laws brother and wife. Made the trip up from GH through Eneabba and north road to Mingenew. A quick stop (well sort off with about 30 caravans pulling in and out - mostly heading back to perth) and then on up to coalseam. Found a stunning area of everlastings half way to coalseam on the side of the road which was great as the everlastings were starting to turn there. We checked out the amazing view from the lookout then drove to the bottom area for lunch and a look around. From to Depot Hill, Dongara and back to Green head. Thanks for the cache and for bringin me back here to coalseam. it is fantastic after all the work that has been done here. Might come back here and camp and have a better look around.

Lost reception but Col found it. Beautiful views. TFTC.

First find of the day blowing a Gail here but the views are still great
TFTC

We started walking, following the gps. Realised that the cache was on the other side of a river and a vertical cliff! Drove around to a more convenient parking spot

A beautiful area, well set up for visitors. TFTC

Arrived just in time to enjoy the sunset. Colours in the rock are always best at this time of day. A little early in the season for wildflowers though. TFTC

Good one thanks - fantastic view across valley

We drove past the turn off to Coalseam as we were going to bypass it. Decided to come here as who knows how long it would be until we come back again, if ever.? Such a lovely spot in the middle of nowhere. I think we’ve left our run too late to see the best of the wildflowers though. Found this one no problems and in good condition. TFTH!

Wildflower chasing in the wheatbelt and trying to tick off a few shires off the map.
Quick ind early in the morning after packing up in Miners Camp. Awesome lookout spot, TFTH.

Lovely view. Cache was found safe and dry. TFTC

Enjoying our trip in the west. Exploring Mingenew area today to find wildflowers.
Good view from up here. Saw a few flowers, but not as many as we had hoped for.
Thank you

A beautiful spot. missed the wildflowers by a week. Travel bug visited

A lovely drive today looking at the wildflowers. Thought we would do some caches along the way. Thanks for the cache

Such a beautiful place, but unfortunately the rains haven’t been so not as glorious we hear. Tftc

IGD in Geraldton again with Barnzy12 in the passenger seat. We headed up late on Friday night with a “clean up” of remaining caches planned for the main day. Knowing from some posts that new caches would also be getting published today we knew we would be up for a bid day with the typical race. Our rest time was the event in the middle of the day. And a few hours in a basic motel. Sunday would also see a long day with minimal caches yet many KM travelled to find them! Thanks to all the CO’s for placing hides to be found.

Cache of the day for us. We will be back.

On the way home from International Geocaching Day 2019 in Greenough. Took a very long way home and managed to snag a dozen finds via some very remote country towns.

Had a great day out and found some great locations - the highlight of the day was certainly the cache at Coalseam Park - an amazing location with lots of history. We knew we were in for a treat as we saw more cars on the road in/out of there as we did for the first 2 hours of our journey this morning. Had a beautiful walk and took in the sights.

Great way to finish off the big weekend in Greenough, thanks to all of the cache owners who placed caches for us to find! We really appreciate your efforts.

What a magic place, well worth the extra k's on our "short" deviation on our way to Gero. Thanks Team Pathfinder, a fave point for location and history.

Found it. TFTC.

Lovely below x

On out way to Mt.Augustus. what a great place this was. Tftc

Think like a geocacher! Great view.

We missed the main show for the wildflowers - only a few remaining. However the surrounding landscape was stunning. Screaming for an EC. No problem locating the container.
Took: TB
Thanks for enticing us here Team Pathfinder

Day 2 lookout was amazing!!! A must if your in the area, just search high rather then downnnn low as we did but hey at least we can say we stood in the dried up river bed. Love this place great adventures and amazing views took the only tb in the cache

What a top spot, lots of flowers views etc, met someone I knew as well.

The most beautiful trip ever to see the wildflowers. TFTC! ( P.S.: The branch can be painful if you stand up quickly and hit your head....)

This was a last minute addition to our list & was a big detour for us. We are so pleased we came. Our first view of the wildflowers in full bloom & in a stunning setting. We were begining to think they were a gross exaggeration but after 15yrs in Oz we have witnessed the glorious carpets of flowers as far as the eye can see. Every hue of yellow, gold, blue, pink & purple. Thanks for recommending it parkacruz (did not realise that you were coming up here today). Dropped 2 TBs. TFTC have a favourite Ian & Sue

We decided to head out into Coalseem and other regions of the Midwest to take advantage of the amazing display of flowers that WA is currently showing, once again we were not disappointed by the beauty we were presented with, just breathtaking, a fav your way Ian & Sue For showcasing this to so many who may not otherwise venture into this little part of the Midwest. TFTC

We, that is Zauberkeks and Cacheaffairs, enjoyed a 4 week trip from Darwin to Perth and would like to express our thanks to all cache owners for the learning experience and the awesome views and places!

On the search for some wildflowers, we heard about the Everlastings in Coal Seam and off we went! Great park! I really wish we would have had more time to spend here -- next time we'll definitely stay here and do some hiking! But even the short track to GZ was pretty spectacular!

Thanks for luring us here and greetings from Germany,
Zauberkeks

On a serious 4 week roadtrip with Zauberkeks from Darwin to Perth I would like to thank all cache owners for the fun and information factor!

Great views and still lot of wildflowers -- exactly what we were looking for!

Thnx and greetings from Germany,
CacheAffairs

jrlt and magpie51 have been here before and found this cache but they enjoyed the adventure so much they thought that the robroy_co caching crew should experience it too! Such a wow moment when we were at the top of the hill at the entry to this amazing area and saw the landscape for the first time. Thanks Ian & Sue for bringing us here. A favourite point for the location!

On an extended trip and just loving Western Australia. Probably not the best wildflower season but still well worth the visit. TFTC Team Pathfinder.
