Logs
After 10 years & 1 month we gave to archive Busty Maidens. As suggested it's demise follows the erection of a new fence near GZ.
Thanks to everybody that searched for it over the 10 years.

Not sure what we were missing here. A new fence has been erected close to out GZ which may have disturbed the cache?
Unfortunately manxmann I couldn’t find your cache Busty Maidens today. Hopefully I’ll have better luck next time I’m here.

Hi there manxmann - today was a easy day with some Geocaching plus lunch at The BackBeach restaurant watching dolphins swim the edge of the beach looking for their lunch. This cache was a quick find and the container and log are in good condition - SL. Thanks to manxmann for this cache - our find #5934.
That was clever.
Log wet and cache container full of ants.
Added a fresh log slip and emptied ants out.

Another day in Bunbury, a few caches, lunch at AJ fish and chips, then back home. Tftc.
Log soaking wet, signed a scrap of paper n put with original log in a little baggy I randomly had in my pocket. Tftc, 2nd attempt on this one
You're right it is pretty useless (soaked) after all the recent rains. Hubby admired the Busty Maidens. TFTC manxman
Quick find mainly due to its unplanned exposure. Was full of wet soil and the log is very damp.
Agreed very tricky
The clue put me off a bit but yes it would be useless in the rain. I must have walked by it at least several times and this was the second time I have tried to find the cashe
The gps locator is spot on.
Cheers

After tackling the coastal walk and getting closer to my 10000 steps today I thought it was time to tackle this cache. Well I might have done more steps walking around this location than the earlier walk but I have to finally admit that another Bunbury cache has got me stumped! A couple of teenage muggles have just driven up to use the playground equipment so I think it's time to log my DNF and draw a sad and move on. Thanks for my excursion for the day.
Yippee! Now I can change my sad face to a smiley face ! While cooling off in the shade logging my previous entry I re read the logs. Then it dawned on me what I'd missed! Went back for another look after the muggles departed. Success is mine. I came, I saw, I conquered. TFTC. Clever!
PS lucky I had a pen with me though. Someone has made off with your pencil.

Found with geokid r and Sol. Yvette308 with us and she located this quickly. Tftc.
pug002 found it 28/10/2017. Came down with for our square dance festival and have stayed on. Decided we had best do some caches today as we have to drive back for a TV demo tomorrow and wont be back till Monday arvo after we do some caches on the way back, is blowy and rainy but we seem to be able to get some in between. TFTC manxmann
Out doing some more night caching in the Bunbury area with the goal of completing the Superheroes series and finding a few other as we went. A clever hide here. Thanks Manzmann for placing
A family was on the swings on my arrival so I headed off for other caches.
Returned and made the quick find. Sneaky little hide and the log book has the most names I have seen. A fav. TFTC

Barnzy12 and I had a huge plan today starting bright and early with a 515am meet up at Cockburn gateways shopping centre to drive down to Busselton together for the Canada Day event on the oceans edge there at the iconic Busselton jetty.
We arrived at the event just in time to see the sun rise. An interesting side note as we drove to the event we noticed an information side near dalyellup that mentioned the temperature as a brisk 0 degrees!!
We had a great chat and then moved on to the Canada Day event in Bunbury where we had a lovely hot drink and met up with the Bunbury regulars there having a good old chat before we agreed to part ways and Barnzy12 and I went caching around the suburbs of greater Bunbury before collecting a few more caches on the way home.
Good caching weekend overall with 20 plus finds and 2 events attended. Thanks to the local COs for their caches.

A visit to Bunbury in the caravan, touring from SA, and had to grab a few caches along the coastline. Really liked the camo on this one. Quick find and a favourite for us. Tftc
Searched for ages, would have been easier if we paid more attention to the clue! Jbjames found this one
I was foolish enough (today of all days) to go orienteering in this dune reserve: steep, prickly and difficult to move when off tracks.
Neat cache.
Neat cache.
Very clever hide. Had me stumped for a minute. There were a few people in the car park eating lunch, but they were too busy on phones to notice me. TFTC
Just noticed other caches nereby so will have to return. Found this cache in several bits. Found the log and signed then pieced the cache together. It now looks like it should and where it should be all together. The log is damp which isn't surprising. TFTC TNLN
Had a late lunch here after geocaching nearby so what better than to grab another cache. Took is for a bit of a wander before the gps settled. Hmnn, where would it be? A nice hide. Saw the busty maidens before we saw the cache! TNLNSL Thanks for your cache.
Went to supply new log. Some kind cacher has already done the job for us ! Thanks to whoever it was.
We did give the log a new ziplock bag as the old one was a bit tired.
Please exercise care when putting the log & its' bag back in so as not to damage it. It is quite a neat fit.
Thanks all

Found at 11:53:00 AM.
My wife saw the hide first but I knew better. Then I checked it and was happily signing the log. A good camo and realitively quick cache. But I was still scratching my head at the name until we left and headed south. Ah HA, that's why!!!
Thanks for the cache manxmann, it was cache number 2179 for me and was number 4 in my run of 6 for today's geocaching effort.

Spent far too long. Read all the way to the bottom of the founds/DNF. Read the hint, didn't have an aha moment. just not with it this morning
Took two days to find as couldnt see the gz. Great find though!! Great cache to start the day.
Visiting the park with about 100 kids from our underwater hockey playing laser tag. The laser tag organiser got involved in helping us find this as our satellites were not being nice tonight. Kids were too busy to notice our discrete antics. Tftc. Prob our last in Bunbury as we leave in the morning.
Very clever. Spotted it straight away. It just seemed odd to me for it to be there
Up in Bunbury for a function got my cache for the day on the way home. Walked past this one a few times in the dark. Nifty well made cache.
So close 1m but still couldnt find, hopefully next time. It rained for a bit too he hee
TFTC! Found on Day 1 of my quick South West trip. I travelled from PErth to Bunbury via the South West Highway picking up a couple of caches as I went.
I cached all morning around the Dalyellup and South Bunbury area before going to Busselton to check in to my hotel and pick up a couple of local caches I didn't get on the WAGB weekend. Followed by heading out to pickup the new Holden series of caches, which I didn't get to finish as the sun went down with about ten caches left and I wasn't too keen on travelling at night.
Thanks to the local COs all caches were found in good condition.

Little bit of a surprise cache as I noticed others in search but no caches were showing as being nearby for me. Once they left I went and had a snoop to quickly come across this busty gem. Cheers xx
