Thank you such a cute little church

TFTC

found it

Early rise and shine bracing for the long drive back to Perth (and reality) via a few back road caches. Cool hide here thanks

Bit of a bush bash but Paige got there in the end (Amy gave up!). Cache found but replaced with what we had as very water damaged. Slightly smaller, round sistema used to replace. Original contents discarded. Recommend to download cache before attending as reception super patchy out here. TFTC.

Lovely church

Headed into Manjimup for supplies, we got distracted & found ourselves out this way finding a few caches... This cache was a quick find for me whilst the rest of the family had a look around the old church TFTC Team Carnage

TaurusSix and I have decided a big drive is necessary today, to undertake maintenance on a few of our caches. Obviously whilst we are out and about we intended to collect as many caches as practical along the way as well. We decided to head straight from Bunbury to Bridgetown from breakfast , the drive down there was beautiful. A very winters morning so there was frost everywhere, with fog in the valleys and creeks and wherever the sun was hitting the ground a beautiful steam was coming off the dewy grass . Picture perfect with layers and gloves. After Bridgetown we made our way through Manjimup, Pemberton, Karri Valley onto Margaret River and Cowaramup before heading back to Bunbury. A most enjoyable day trip.

This was our fourth cache find of the day. What a lovely little church it was certainly worth the extra divert out this way. We had the place to ourselves so we’re able to take our time to find the cache. Happy to find, log and replace cache . Thanks for the cache Team Carnage .

Another geocaching adventure with woolwood9.
We visited many good caches and trails on our trip and had a lot of fun!
Some showers of rain again today in the morning but lots of fine weather otherwise.

Really appreciate the cache owners effort putting this container out.
We soon located the hide.

Great hunt at a great location
Thanks

Coords spot on which helped with the scramble through the thick regrowth. Cache in poor condition, has been wet and pages are all stuck together. Unfortunately we didn’t have any replacements with us. Super cute church. TFTC

DNF for me as GPS was working and didn't want to go through the bush too much

Overgrown and awfully sodden sorry. Thanks for the cache.

Very overgrown, got eaten by mosquito's

Yay

Yay

A quick find.

TFTC Team Carnage this is find #11731 for us.

Wet and needs a new book

wet and needs new book

Nice find in the bush. As previously noted log book is very wet. should have brought a replacement and zip lock bag, sorry! TFTC.

Finally found it! This was our 5/6time trying to find this and we finally got it. Thanks for bringing us here, beautiful little church TFTC

Nice stroll in the Bush

Terrific spot for a cache. Tftc

Very wet log, cant sign it
Wow finally found it after long search so happy found it thanks

Here for a couple of events today thanks for showing me around Manjimup
Log is absolutely drenched. Needs replacing

Today Mr Luna Maya and myself decided to explore more of the Manjimup area. I was impressed by the quality of the hides and that overall they were all of a decent size. In beautiful and interesting locations. We also purchased some local produce - the apples were amazing !
* Well this hide was fun ! We were greeted by a black and white dog inside the fenced area of the church. At 1st I thought that it was a statue then it moved. A dog all alone in the middle of nowhere. Anyway we were not sure how friendly it was so left well enough alone . Found the cache and we had a look around - very interesting & pretty. SL . Thanks Team Carnage *

Nice one tricked but fun very cool spot to hide

Water has got in to the container. TFTC

2nd try and still couldn't find it.

Found with mandate7 on our way to Nannup what a fantastic out of way place TFTC

On way to Nannup with bigSalmon1 Great little church with history thanks for bringing us here TFTC

Hi there Team Carnage.

We found your cache **"Dingup Church"** at 11:12:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 23829).

Today we decided to attempt some caches between Bridgetown and Manjimup. We thoroughly enjoyed our drive, walks and the scenery & found 7 caches & DNF'd 0.

Thanks for placing this cache here. Over the years, Geocaching has taken us on many adventures and to lots of wonderful destinations all over Australia. Without 'caching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wanderings. 'Caching has also introduced us to a diverse group of like-minded people, many of whom we now call friends.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 5m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The cache was soaked, we spent some time drying it out, but it still needs some "Owner TLC".
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thank you Team Carnage for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

PS: There is nothing wrong with the placement of this cache. After all it is a D2 (Easy to find or solve within a few minutes.) However we recommend that the Terrain rating be upped (for wussy people) to T2.5 (Terrain may have small elevation changes or moderate overgrowth.) because there has been **some** vegetation growth between the car park and the cache since it was placed nearly 12 years ago
[Groundspeak DT ratings.](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=97&pgid=82)

DNF ... area has quite dense growth and I wasn't keen to venture further in my search. If found/replaced by owner would recommend a move closer to car park/church to lessen risk from snakes etc.

We looked everywhere and was unable to find the cache.

Couldn't find?

Awesome church. Love the fence. Log book wet.

Enjoying our trip in the west. Now heading south towards Albany.

I could not find it amongst the new spring growth.

Thanks anyway
Very nice little historic church.

Down south for a few days with Red Gum, we did some caching in the area and this is a beautiful spot nestled in the bush. Found relatively quickly and all in good order. Thanks for showing us this nice little corner of our country.

Beaut little Church. Took a bit of looking through the spring growth, however found it with Autumn Owl. TFTC

How sensible to utilise the same building for a church & a school.TFTC

Easy find. Watch out for snakes

What a sweet little church. Pity you can't go in and look about the place. Saw no information as to whether it's still in use, would be interesting to go in and have a look at this little historical gem. Found the cache, have to say, not so keen on tromping through the bush on a sunny day... was on the lookout for snakes.

Out and about with 2Clueless for the afternoon with the aim of collecting caches around Manjimup. Our day was successful with 16 finds and no dnf’s. All caches found easily. Tftc

Reunited with ICNothing once again, we’ve set off on a quick adventure to snap up some more caches. TFTH.

Beautiful church. easy to find

Having left Geelong in January and travelling to Darwin, we crossed into WA at the start of may. We have slowly been making our way south after doing the gibb river road, cape leveque
This is another amazing area and we have set up camp in Pemberton and will sight see and cache the area
TFTC and great cache

Took a bit to find as trees were creating havoc with GPS on my phone TFTH

Found it. Lovely spot. TFTC

Had a good days caching down in the beautiful south west of our state with Cravo10 and Richlink.

We caches around Manjimup to help collect an elusive puzzle cache that RL needed our expert tree-caching knowledge for and after finding that we found a couple of other caches around the tracks in Perup that they hadn't grabbed before parting ways and Cravo and myself cached a bit more on the route home.

Was a great day out and we can't wait to get back down this way soon!

Thanks to the local COs for a great days caching.

Replaced the cache here that had previously been wiped out in the fire. Now under log. If the CO isn't happy with this please delete our log

When have a day planned with lots of caches the drive from Bunbury seemed to take forever but we got to this one and managed a
A quick short walk amongst the trees to find the cache then a good look around the church. What a beautiful little church.
Was a bit stunned with the amount of vehicles we encounted, nah only one car and one motorised/electric bicycle but didn't think anyone would be around.
Always happy when there is a gravel road involved and this one is in great nick

TFTC

Worthy of a fav point just for bringing us out to a place I didn't even know existed

Very stuck in its hiding spot. Got it out though. Nice old church.

An easy find tftc

Today must be the day for churches another excellent example! Thanks for bringing us here Team Carnage!

There seems to be a couple of historic churches around here. The cache didn't take too long to locate then we had a look around the church. You don't see too many churches with a fireplace. Must get real cold here in the winter time.
