BARN HILL BREAK Broome, Western Australia, Australia
By Explorers 5 on 09-Jul-07. Waypoint GC147ZF

Not much left of this one just a lid and decomposed plastic neck. Lovely place to spend a few nights though. TFTC

Found in company of Runciple or (what was left of it) looked as though someone might have put a lolly or food in it as it was completely destroyed and the log was scattered in fragments all over the place. cleaned up remaining mess. TFTC

Needs major replacement or archiving. There is nothing there at the moment until someone replaces entire cache.

Next time I'm driving! TFTc

Didn't quite know whether to go in at the waste "depot" or close to the beach. After driving around for a bit decided what to do and found the cache right away! In: - Out: TB

Our first cache!

Great place.

Dropped off TB.

No muggles will ever find this cache, after we found the cache, we went for a walk along the track and found a beaut beach, and walked all the way back to camp along the beach. TFTC

Found at 1.45pm
We stayed here for 3 nights, enjoying the magnificent beaches, views, sunsets.
We also climbed Barn Hill, an historic location.
We also discovered where the parks water comes from. bores just behind the dunes.
A fantastic location for a cache.
We left a TB
Nice location
Thanks

Rated: for Overall Experience

I stayed here for a couple of nights on my way north.
Very nice place, full of grey nomads and there caravans - I was easily the youngest person here, by probably 30 to 35 years..!
Didnt play a game of bowls all looked to serious for me..!
Cache is ok, but container is perishing a little.
I wonder why cache owner didnt place cache closer to stairs to beach where there is a few good hiding spots and a nice view - especially at sunset.!

Found at 11.30am GAFF2. We were camped at Barn Hill - in the furtherest, most distant possible site from the cache! At least we were able to get a site as this place is possibly the best camp ground that we have been to so far - the beach here is fantastic.
We walked the 850 metres after stopping and having a chat with a few fellow campers - they are all very friendly here. When we arrived at GZ we were a little disappointed at where the cache was located as it didn't really highlight anything in particular. And just 150 metres away there are some cliffs overlooking one of the best beaches in Australia!
Thanks Explorers 5.

After our 1 night sleepover we searched for this one. Gidsen in the bushes now on to Broome. TFTC

Found today while staying in park. Love this place. Didn't see any 'no entry' signs the way we approached. Cache wasn't as per hint but now I just read it had been changed. Signed the log. Thanks guys.

DNF, TFTH.

Didn't like to go through the gate and past the 'No Entry' sign, as we reckoned that that was 'private area' for the Station. But loved our stay at Barn Hill - again! Great community atmosphere - and great Sunday roast night! roamingparsons.

Found it !! The cache is now a 300Ml round plastic bottle and GZ was spot on..We found 2 pencils from the original cache lying on the ground where the hint directed us. But ignore the hint because it is now wrong.TNLN TFTC

We don't usually stay in caravan parks but this one is so nice we just might come back and spend some time veg-ing out here.

We were keen to stay at Barn Hill Station and were doublely pleased that there was a cache there. We got to gz to see the contents strewn under the tree debri, we collected up the bits including the log book and sorted out a new container and replaced the cache. We loved our stay here and spent two nights. The scenery on the beach at sunset especially when the low tide is in is magnificent. We loved looking at the rock pools and coral. Thanks Explorers 5

Really hot day in the bush with lots of flies, not so pleasant !! but found it, the 2nd person that day!!

Thanks

Found the cache with Rex, his first one!

On our way back to Broome from Port Smith Lagoon. Came in to have a look at the park and do this cache.
They let us off the $10 day fee as we were just looking. Also hesitated because of the sign - No Entry - which we took to only mean the side road, not the one to the cache.
Thanks for bringing us here - over the many humps and through the many gates!

Great Spot for camping, drinking and playing lawn bowls.
Got into the spirit of "International Speak Like A Pirate Day"
Took Nothing, Left Pirate Hat

found at 1230 a short walk up from the beach staying overnight at caravan park so an easy find don't see a problem with this cache but it will only be accessable when park is operational
Took key ring,
left whistle.

Found and signed on or about the date stated. I too have some concerns about the placement of this cache as I had too enter a sign stating No Entry. I reckon it could have been placed a little better.

Decided we just had to stay at this iconic place, and after a walk on the beach, extended our stay for a second night. Wandered in for a relatively easy find. TNLN. Thanks Explorers 5.

Couldn't bowl as there was a championship going on. Beautiful area, though. So Aussie. TFTC.

Found after a short walk through the bush in the dark (found it by torch in teh end)..

after driving on a private road, walking through a caravanpark and walking on private land we found the cache.

We assumed the owner of the caravanpark knew about the cache..

She most certainly did not (

So we felt a bit awkward telling her about it and not staying the night there.

We took a little detour to find this cache on our way to Broome.

We drove the 9 km private road to the Barn Hill Station, found the reception/shop closed, so we parked our car and went for a walk finding the cache. Because you have to drive a private road to get here, and the cache is on private property, we assumed that either the owner of Barn Hill station placed the cache or that the owner knew about it and gave permission. In the Netherlands it's a general rule that permission of the landowner is given before the cache is placed and published.

We didn' t have time to stay overnight on the campsite, so when we got back to our car an the owner asked us if we wanted a site for our van, we told her we were just here to find the geocache. We were very surprised when she didn't even know what geocaching was, let alone a geocache placed on her property. She didn't seem too happy about it... I was so surprised (an also a bit overheated by our walk to the cache in 40 degrees...) that I didn't really know what to say. So we explained in short what geocaching was and then went on our wy to Broome again. But I felt really bad afterwards, about having used a private road and walking around on someones property, who doesn't know about this cache. I'm also not sure if we should have paid the day visitor fee of 10 dollars...

It would be a good idea if the placer of this cache contacted the owners of Barn Hill to explain about geocaching and let them choose then if they give permission to leave the cache or to have it removed. Geocaching is a lot of fun and it might be a good way to encourage people to stay on the Barn Hiil campsite, but I think it should be the choice of the owners to give permission for a cache or not.

Barn Hill station campsite is a great place with wonderful views of the ocean, but this caching experience was not a good one for us....

Tried twice to find this one, got to location, but still unlucky.

Tried afternoon of 17th and then again on morning of 18th..
Too many leaves tried moving them with a stick just in case there were snakes but to no avail.

Found this cache at 8:15 am After spending the night at the station a seeing one of the most magic sunsets that you could ever see. We ventured to find the cache. and then pulled camp and had to leave this great place. Sorry for the delay on logging this in but we have only just returned home after 2mnths in the west.
Took: Tyre gauge. Left: screwdriver.
Thanks Explorers5 for the cache.

Nice cache on my holiday tour in Australia.
Thanks for hiding it

Sorry, but this cache has the wrong name.
It should be called paradise or something in that way.

Wow, this is really a great place to stay.
We had a wonderful sunset with a big group of dolphins ...> paradise.

Finding the cache in the sun is quite an exercise but it is worth

Thanks from bringing me to this beautiful place

regards, Tauch4fun from Switzerland

It is a 10km very sandy way to the Campground and we walk 600m to the cache. We searched a few minutes, because we forget the spoilerpicture. We found the cache at 12:45am.

No trade.

Thanks, Axel XXXX + Petra from Germany.

Found this one at beautiful Barn Hill. Retrieved Little Hopper geocoin. Thanks!

So close and yet so far to being a FTF.

Never mind. We really enjoyed our stay here and the rocks on the beach are just awesome! TNLN SL TFTH

Yaaay! First to find. Day trip from Broome for our 1st FTF.
Caught up with our old friend Little Hopper Geocoin. Picked up Eucalyptus Eater. T Zipper car and heart key ring. L stubby holder and rainbow slinky. Well off the beaten track this cache. Coords spot on. TFTC Cyclonic

Started this cache off on a weekend break. Dropped off a Eucalyptus Eater TB & Little Hopper geocoin for continued travels.
