Out and about with Barnzy12 again using his off line list with archived caches on the agenda. TFTH TFTC
What a lovely drive today through the southern wheatbelt, well south of great eastern highway!
There was a fair amount of rain about today and with us having a later start than planned meant we had to skip the group of caches at kokerbin rock and just focus on everything else on the map.
Our focus today was to leave only caches north of great eastern highway to find for our next wheatbelt trip.
Absolutely love it out here, serenity, nice bush hides no micros!
Had a great day out with the highlight being collecting 5 more caches from the wheatbelt science trail, meaning we only have around half a dozen more to be the first teams to complete the series!
Collected a few archived caches that are still on play and had a great day out. Only a dozen finds but still a good day.

Jinta29 and I decided to head out for a couple of days and cross off some more LGAs.
When I am out caching, i always check the area for archived caches.
This one popped up so I decided to check it out.
A bit of huff and puff to get to the top but the view was worth it.
I can't wait to catch up with everyone again at
[WA GOES BIG 2017](https://coord.info/GC6TD11) in Rockingham, WA.
Perths big event is on again.
**See you there**.

With the holiday season upon us and a leave pass from Mrs jinta I decided to call up ol' mate Kyzabra and see if he was keen for a two day caching road trip... he came back with a pretty quick 'yep, let's go' 
. Woohoo! 
We made a plan to start caching in Brookton and head out towards Hyden and Lake King and then loop back to Perth through Narrogin [^]. The main focus was grabbing caches in all the counties on the way through (9 or 10 different ones hopefully).
There were several archived caches that we added to the hit list as well as a few multis and an earthcache for good measure.
A massive thanks here to ZED! for placing this cache here and for tempting us to venture out to this glorious part of the state. Cheers!
jinta29 found your cache Roe Dam on 29/12/2016, 2:59 PM. This is my find #6140 and find #13 today. I was able to get my name in the log book here and we replaced the cache as we found it. Thanks once again for placing this and bringing us to this location!

Last Call!

Thank You to all who have enjoyed my tour of the Wheatbelt.

Another piece of old time ingenuity and history by the town folk to get fresh water. Another great climb to the top of this granite hill. 
Tip: Park at base of dam wall, NOT picnic area. Third (and final) day of my loop through the Eastern wheatbelt. Can't do any more for a while 'cos the cricket starts on Saturday and that's me stuck in front of the telly for the next month. Found this one today at 12:10. Whew! this one was a bit puff-making on a hot day, but nice obvious hiding spot. TNLNSL TFTC
Out for a day of caching in the back blocks of WA. Easy find. Great place so far from anywhere. TFTC
Worth a favourite.

beautiful up here but there's an icy cold wind blowing! The cache lid won't stay clipped shut. Small amount if water in cache but log dry. Dryed cache and lid held on with rocks. Needs replacing though.

Found this one today while checking the dam with a workmate. Got him hooked on geocaching with his new GPS. Took trackable pathtag. Will relocate as soon as possible. Thanx for the cache. I see that dam 5 days a week for work but today was my first climb to the top. Cheers.
We enjoyed the walk up over the rocks and took in the views over the dam and the surrounding farmlands.TFTH
What a climb! Great view of the dam! and surrounding area.
Took wombat key ring.
Left a "Gold Logie"

Found In Company of Devildog3 Cant Remember If I took anything or left anything definalty a nice cache cool view Could Hardly Keep Lucky away from the water on top he was just loving it!
With the rain steadily falling this morning we hoped the rock wouldn't be too slipperty. It proved not to be the case as the dampness on the rough surface still left plenty of grip for our shoes. We enjoyed the views the climb and the cache. TNLN. Thanks nobodyZ
long hard walk to the top. great view awsome dam built 1971 20,000,000 gallons of water. rocks wet and slippery
This is a big climb. It just keeps going UP. From the top I think we can see all the other caches we have been to in the last few days. Took: kering koala. Left: drawing pins. TFTH.
Found @ 5:30 on a hot autumn evening we have both the flies and mosquitos to contend with at the same time! Only the 4th to find not a very popular cache and it has quite a nice camping area nearby too. Thanx for the cache.
That was a big hill.
We took our time walking up so we didnt burst a pipe.
We needed the exercise anyway as we have been stuffing ourselves on bakery goods at the country towns.
A local family parked right near us and we had a nice chat with them up the top of the hill while they pointed out the various farms and history of the area. They could have worked as tour guides.
Awesome views.
This would be a tough one on a hot day so we suggest taking the cooler part of the day when finding it...maybe early morning.
Added Hairclips
Took Pencil sharpener (turned out to be a noise maker instead...unsure of what it is...maybe a bee sound)
Thanks for the cache we enjoyed it hugely

Seventeenth of seventeen for a very long day[xx(].
Yay, another First to Find
. I found it just before complete darkness set in, so the flies weren't bad, but I had worn my head net just in case, and it protected me from the mosquitos on the way back to the van. Spent the night, not a bad camping area and the toilets are nice and clean. By 3 AM it was actually quite cool and comfortable enough to sleep.
T FTF card, LCC, TNLNSL. Dropped Pounce & Stalk swaggie, Kaengurule TB, British Columbia GC, Geocoin Thief GC, g'day bugger 2006 Suncatcher GC, Wisconsin Geocoin No. 2 GC, Odee's Signal Geocoin - Apr 06, Thijs Radijs TB & Psst, Infidel, can you hide me somewhere? (Saddam) TB, TLC - Tigger Loves Caches TB & Geocky Kentucky Coin 2005-444, but the flies were so bad they insisted I grab them again to continue their travels elsewhere.
