Die Suche hat ein bisschen gedauert, aber man wurde dann fndig. Vielen lieben Dank fr den Cache. I send warm greetings from Germany.
Zunchst schien es aussichtslos. Auch die Muggel waren stark vertreten. Schlielich konnte der Cache doch geborgen werden. Vielen Dank. Gre aus Deutschland.

Posums and I formed a convoy for the first half of the day before going our separate ways in the afternoon.Visiting Donutholes homeland. There were muggles at GZ on arrival so we took a walk around horse yard hill first and returned to make this find.A big thanks goes to richlink for taking the time to add Bobtail to the geocaching map for us all to find and enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Wow!

I came over to WA last year for WAGB 23 and had such a great time so I decided to come back over again for this years events in Augusta.So after all of the planning with dates worked out my work decided that I could only have one week off so flying over was my only option.So I flew into to Perth and my first stop will be Busselton for 2 nights.It has been 47 years since I was in this part of WA and Im really looking forward to the re visit.Im making my way down the coast and picking out caches that look interesting to me.After spending a bit of time in Bunbury it was back to the Geo Rent a Car to continue along the coast and I then made it to Busselton.Day 5 of the trip.After caching around Busselton, Dunsbourgh and Cape Naturaliste and then Albany for 3 days it was time to head to Augusta for WAGB 24 for a few days.Roaming Howie and I headed off together to find a few along the way.There was a caravan parked close by and luckily they were else where so the van shielded me while I was searching for this one.Thanks richlink TFTC.
Visiting this lovely part of the country from Vic and today we are heading towards Augusta, Drizzly rain was not conducive driving today, but we stopped at this very popular stop that only had room for a bus left, even though 2 additional rows of parking had been set up. Luckily all the muggles had wandered off elsewhere so my search was quiet.TFTC SL TB's visited
Found by geodaughter after a few minutes searching. Clue definitely helped. TFTC

Arrived in Walpole after a double hut a couple of days ago....feeling rested now so happy to go in search of a cache! We have seriously walked over 150kms with a pen in sazzas pocket the whole time and we get to town and she leaves it in the Motel????....cannot walk 100m back to the hotel so photo taken as proof!.... if needed....seriously could not walk back to the hotel after we found it Loved the stop here and nice walk behind the Visitor Centre.On our trek on the Bibbulmun and happy to find a few caches along the way! (Apologies for the late logs but only getting to the logging now, logs dated as per found date though!)Thank you richlink for placing and maintaining Bobtail for us and others to find and enjoy!
There was a time I thought a bobtail was a rabbit but thanks to geocaching I knew exactly what was in store for us at GZ. That didn't mean I understood the hint (geono. + machinery = hint) but MrG put his hand straight on it. A quick find on our way to somewhere not yet decided. Best painted ambo station ever across the road... TFTC richlink.
Easy find. Cache and log in good condition. Log signed and put back on our way to Yallingup after spending an awesome 4 nights in Coalmine Beach Caravan Park TFTC
As we drive today from Denmark to Augusta, we stopped to do a walk through the forest here and also to have a break and stretch our legs. We were able to park very close to GZ, and thinks to a great hint, we soon had this one logged and signed. Thanks richlink Domsky
We are currently on a eight week holiday which is mostly spent in New Zealand and Australia. However, the first three days were spent in Singapore as a nice break from an otherwise long flight. We had about three weeks in New Zealand which went by too quickly. The remaining five weeks are spent in Australia. Today we are driving from Albany to Walpole. Not a long drive so we have plenty of time and are taking it easy. After checking into our hotel we go out for groceries and a walk in this very nice park. With the hint in mind the cache is quickly found. Interesting piece of equipment indeed. If not for the sign we wouldn't have had a clue what it is for. Thank you very much for this cache.
During our two-month trip through New Zealand and Australia, we drove from Albany to Walpole today.When we went for a walk from the hotel, this cache was found.**richlink**, thanks for the cache.
Stopped in for the facilities, nice to see this lovely older cache so close by. Cool historic logging machinery, it's certainly tree county. Found all okay here, thanks for the cache!
We stopped in here on our way through. Made a nice quick find on an item that we were not expecting.Thanks for the cache
Found it yesterday Signed logbook, but didn't have the app with me so adding it to my finds here now!Good hide. BYO mints.
Not where hint suggested, replaced as such when found.Found on return to the Blue Wren after shopping for some fresh salad and veggies at the local IGA, having a rest day from hiking on the Bibbulmun Trail.TFTC

Luckily for me, there was a caravan parked in a very convenient location to allow for an uninterrupted and thorough search. I eventually found the container but I don't the hint is relevant any more

With an overnight stay in Walpole after an eventful day checking out the Valley of the Giants tree top walk, we are finding the few caches in town before heading to the pub for dinner. Just as we arrived at GZ the heavens opened up. With torch and raincoats, we searched around the equipment until I spied it... Log signed cache returned.

We have an overnight stay in Walpole after visiting the Valley of the Giants and Elephant Rocks earlier today.
After checking in to our accommodation, we set off to find a few local caches, and just as we did, the heavens opened.
It was very dark when we arrived at GZ, so out come the trusty torches and rain jackets to search for this one. It wasn't long before patrol14 came up with the prize thanks to the good hint provided.
Thank you, richlink, for placing this cache for our enjoyment and benefit

TFTC and a nice find while I was in Walpole the beginning of this week. Pity it rained but we still saw lots. I’m visiting from the Hunter Valley in NSW
When I first saw it, I thought, “Oh no, I don’t have time for a nano in machinery right now!” Luckily, it wasn’t. Relatively quick find, number 791 for me. Retreated to a dry spot to sign the log.
A rest day in Walpole while walking the Bibbulmun track and this cache was nearby to my accommodation. I made a quick find once at GZ. Log signed and all returned as found.

We are from the Netherlands on a Roadtrip! Also looking for geocaches! This is one of them! Tftc
Our third day in WA, driving from Walpole to Margret River (with a bit front and back). We had now learned our lesson from yesterday. You need to download caches you wanted to be sure to find, all the rest was luck. We started our day with a bit of caching in town before returning back on the road. TFTC + greetings from &
TFTC!
On our honeymoon adventure Pancaka1 ran and found first. Pancaka2 struggled for another 5mins before pancaka1 showed them. Amazing location and beautiful town.
