Wheatbelt Lookout Wongan Hills, Western Australia, Australia
By ZED! on 20-Oct-07. Waypoint GC16KR5

Gathered the info and did the calculations while picking up a nearby trad.
Stopped off to find and sign the log on this archived cache on the way out.

TFTC ZED! this is find #11287 for us.

Out with B12 claiming smiles through the wheatbelt.
Container in reasonablly good condition considering age.
Thank you ZED

Great multi, and fantastic spot
Thanks ZED

After doing the Mt Matilda trail, we just had to spend our trip home finding a few more caches... Of course I had done my homework & knew that this cache was still in play After enjoying the spectacular views from the top, we did some calculations that gave us some plausible co-ordinates... After descending back down the mountain, the hunt was on & it was I who spotted the container [^]

TFTC ZED! Cache has seen better days, but should be ok for the few that will stop by to find it.

Day 4 of our mini road trip which was meant to start in Perenjori but didn't quite make it so stayed last night at Mullewa Pub and enjoyed a lovely meal there too. So today it's Mullewa to Wongan Hills via Xanthippe, Pithara and Ballidu.
Have a few caches on my list so fingers crossed we can manage as many as possible as I'm chasing numbers on this trip

Turns out another warm day in town and I didn't pack my shorts

Muggle wrote down wrong co-ords so put us over 2km away so went through them again and saw his area.
After having a look around we went to new correct co-ords and there was the cache, found by muggle

Great views from up at the lookout

TFTC

Seal has fallen off container but should still be ok. Replaced as found

I decided to pack the swag and head away for a 24hr road trip and made plans to head up north to grab caches in a few more counties for a challenge that I have my eye on completing . I scoped out a route that would give me 7 more WA counties and also targeted quite a few of the archived caches that are seemingly still in play [^]. I had a fantastic time caching up here and a huge thanks to all the CO's for the effort in placing the caches!

ZED! - jinta29 found your cache Wheatbelt Lookout. This is my find #6066 and find #5 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for the time and effort taken to place this cache!

Roadtripping the Northern Wheatbelt with Kyzabra and Krabiboy, this was a good archived cache to collect. Great view and spot, pity its not active. Thanks ZED

Today was a huge day. 14 hours, 625km, and 27 finds.

This trip out had been a long time in the planning.
Krabiboy and I had hatched a plan and probably changed it about 10 times. dallyho joined us, final plans were set, and off we went

A pity this one is archived cause it's a Rippa spot and I would give it a fav if it was still active

ZED! - Kyzabra found your cache Wheatbelt Lookout . The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Kyzabra and I have had our eyes on this part of the Wheatbelt for a few months. We were joined by Dallyho and today was the day to head out and make a weekend of it.

We left at 4.30am on Friday and headed off to the northern wheatbelt.

We covered over 600km today, clocking up 29 finds, including 5 archived caches.

A beautiful view from up the top, we clambered back down and made the find. A nice archived cache find here.

TFTC ZED!.

ZED!, I found your cache Wheatbelt Lookout on 5/08/2016.
This is my find #2900 and find #11 today.

Big Road trip with B12 today covering just short of 1000Km left home at 5am and got back home at 7pm.
was a great day out maybe next time i will be the passenger so that i can have a power nap or two or three in between caches and on the long haul home. Found a great bunch of caches and arrived ones too. THTF TFTC

TFTC! Found on a day out caching with Cravo10 heading up to Dalwallinu and surrounds. Great day out covering nearly 1000km and picking up a bunch of archived caches that are still in place. Thanks

Add fav for location

Thank you all who have enjoyed my hides, time has come to bid farewell.

OMG what an amazing view!!! The colours were incredible and the reflections off the various lakes superb!! Solved the puzzle and found the cache! We were hoping to have time to complete the caches on the Matilda walk trail but alas no time today, hopefully we may get back next weekend if the caches are still available! Thanks again ZED for all your caches, we've enjoyed them all!

This was our second stop in the morning before music feste in Wongan. After we drove up to the lookout and got the number, I still couldn't figure out the puzzle. However I had noticed the big rocks when we came in, and it said it was outside the private property sign, so we tried them and it didn't take long. We almost saw it at the same time, approaching from different sides of the hole. TFTC - maybe the last find. We will try more in the afternoon.

Last Call!
This Geocache will be permanently archived in July.
Thank You to all who have enjoyed my tour of the Wheatbelt.

We didn't know this place existed. We had a great time here. TFTC.

Found it!!! Yay this is our first find.. Very happy!!

Was nearly blown off the top of the lookout getting the required information. Returned to the car and drove down to make an easy find
TFTC

Quick find with Robbo56 , wind was howling at the lookout and we had to scuttle back to the geocar to beat the incoming rain squall

So glad you pointed us to this lookout Zed - fantastic views - and great interpretative signs.

Great lookout. Had a tough time with the clues

First geocache for me. cheers.

LOVELY PLACE TO PICNIC

Out on a GC day trip with Granny Smith 1947 and IKookaburra. TFTC Shaz6611

Good clue & good views. Tftc

found it with shaz6611 & ikookaburra 7th for the day the rocks were a bit hard kneeling to get the cache out Thank You ZED! (:p)

Nice easy multi, with an AMAZING view up top. TFTC

Great spot, great cache. Out on a caching trip with Team M-B.

Looked everywhere outside the boundary fence to no avail. The lookout is amazing though. Well worth the trip!

Was beginning to feel dizzy going up and down, then up and down. Muggles aplenty when we were there. Took road sign keyrings, left SIDS teddy bear. Good cache, thanks.

tftc

Loved the lookout. Must commend the shire for such projects they have done around Wongan. Found the cache without too much trouble. Thanks ZED.

Would be a great spot for BBQ with fantastic views.

Took Bart
Left an Alaskan trinket.

We came here after fininshing the ones on the other side of the road, we were quite relieved that we didn't have to walk far to pick this one up. TFTH

We came here after attempting to do the three the other side of the road. Unfortunately the little Garmin Nuvi spits the dummy when the heat exceeds about 45°C and she won't take a charge. We got out of the bus to find flat batteries again so had no chance of walking the course and finding three caches. This is a great lookout and some good history on the area. It was a nice easy find and the last for the day. We went to sleep in baking heat but it cooled off nicely during the night. TFTF

A great view at the start. TFTH.

Nice countryside and views. The lookout is particularly well done. Still a few wildflowers around. TNLN. thanks nobodyZ

Great view from the top. The clues were found and we headed for the cache. Glad we weren't walking up that hill. T Mr Burns (he'll become a TB) and penny L bottle opener.
Thank you for placing a cache at a great site.

Just pasing through on a wildflower trip. It seemed fitting that I leave a 1919 Australian penny as the question culminates in 1920. T toy car. TFTH. Early morning was a mist that hid everthing from site, so visited again later and saw the magnificent view.

Camped in Dandaragan for a couple of days, so luckily didnt have the 23ft van with us!..On the way in we saw 2 Wedge Tailed Eagles take off from a low position, had quite a view of them as they struggled skywards. Fantastic views from the top on a rarther warm day, and we enjoyed the ironic "twist" of the final cache position. On the way down near the gate we saw two walkers (Fly nets in place..luckily for them) starting the tough climb upwards, then saw their campervan parked up. I couldnt help but think of them as cachers, and how they might feel at the end of the hunt.
TNLNSL
A very enjoyable hunt...thank you.

The wind was blowing but that was good as it kept the flies away for once. We were impressed by how clean the BBQ was but we didnt have anything to cook on it. Next time we will be prepared.
The drive up is not for caravans but the sign at the bottom does tell you this so dont be silly and try to take one up there.
We were able to sit in the cool breeze and work out the figures before hunting out the cache on the way back downhill.
We took the TB Kwakka
Added a Toothbrush in a sealed pack.
This is real Aussie Bushland with a great view

Great view, great spot and clever cache. Surprising it has not been visited more often. Dropped a TB.

Wow! The views from atop the lookout were very impressive, even with the limited visibility due to the weather!
Thanks for bringing us to a really good spot!

Fourth cache of six for the day on a 550 Km run.
T magnets, L Hot Wheels 'Shift Kicker' car & dinosaur.
What an amazing lookout and great views. Thanks for luring me out to another great spot Z.

Who says WA is just flat? TNLN

Accompanies with Varuna. Wow So beautful view - very interest history. Took - My Quest: Australia TB. Thanks NobodyZ for organise the cache and hunt.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Part of NobodyZ's cache series we went and found. Dropped My Quest: Australia Geocoin. Thanks for bringing us to the interesting spot including the great view, and the cache.

So many hiding spots, so little patience . An easy find after a short search today - since I didn't have to drive up the hill. TN-LN-SL. Thanks to Rod for the cache

FTF - yee ha! Great views from gazebo lookout. Well hidden and camo'd cache.
TNLN

The one that got away - Although I arrived at the lookout and determined the final coords, I was physically unable to make a search. This cache will have to wait until our next visit. The views from here are terrific and well worth the visit anyway. Thanks anyway for the cache Rod.
