Logs
A quick find on a 40 degree day thanks to the ppras log. Cache is dry at present but may get wet wet when it rains soon.
Found at 12:31 PM GAFF1.We looked for this cache in August 2011, but it later was confirmed that it went missing. So 13 years later we are back and once again we thought that the cache was gone as we were looking for a "Regular" sized container, but there was nothing around GZ that could possibly house a regular!Then noticed a small pile of rocks and low and behold - a mint tin 
Thanks to Bushies2Feedback: The cache was replaced by a cacher in Sept 2021 with a mint tin, however it seems that the CO's are no longer caching nor maintaining their caches and consequently the size hasn't been changed to "small" and I think the hint is obsolete as well.

Thanks for bringing us here and best wishes from Saxony in Germany. TFTC
We found your cache today 8 August 2024 9:00am , while enjoying another day in our beautiful countryside. TFTC Bushies2
Visiting the daughter so had to get some geos into the mix. What a great location. Lucky daughter gave me some local knowledge here. TFTC
Definitely not a regular size so make sure you're looking for something smaller! Tftc!
In Kununurra for a few days during a 12 day Kimberly Safari. This is our first cache in Western Australia.
A quick sightseeing stop on our way back from El Questro. Nice quick find here. Fascinating local history. Tftc
From nz so always worried about walking into grasses. Temp already over 30. Tftc.

We’re on a coach tour through the Kimberleys and very limited on the caches we can try to find. Today we by-passed a heap of other caches we would have liked to have a crack at, many we simply drove past, others were a case of so near, but yet so far, so were feeling a bit frustrated.
This one looked like being another so near but yet so far, until the coach pulled up at the viewpoint for the dam wall. A quick consultation with the coach driver and I was hotfooting it to GZ. Thanks to the hint and accurate coords the cache was quickly ound, log signed, cache replaced and coach returned to in plenty of time. I was a little surprised at what I found - I was expecting a much larger container.
The cache is in good condition.

Today we flew into Kununurra before heading to El Questro tomorrow, so the obvious past time was to go do some caching! We had a great few hours caching around Kunnanurra getting some great caches!
Quick find here, sad to see the cache no longer in its regular state.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Bushies2

We’re here overnight before heading to El Questro for a few days. With some free time we headed out into Kununurra to find some caches and explore the town, hoping to spot the enormous crocodile (from a distance!) in the dam that was shown online yesterday!

Traveling with richlink to Darwin and beyond picking up a cache or two along the way. While they were busy taking care of some chores, we went after a few caches they had already found. Thanks Bushies, we were surprised how fast the river was flowing.
A late log...

Found but disappointed.
I searched the cache today thinking this was a regular sized cache, looked around a lot but found a small sized container. This cache is logged with 2x Trackables and I was excited to find my first trackable but they were nowhere to be seen.
TFTC anyway. Cute family, I love boabs!

Catching up on some late logs, now that I have time, while travelling.
We are on the road travelling up through central Australian and down the coast of WA. I was happy to grab a few caches along the way and this was one of them.
Enjoyed the view, while finding this one.
Thanks Bushies2 for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

TFTC! Little stomping fest over the long grass, but found it neatly tucked away. Did not have a pen to sign and geokids lost it in the car.
Find #1003... very cute family indeed. Dropped off poison orange frog I picked up from myg67 in Perth over chrissy... he live the mighty Ord River.

Grat little find tho I was a bit nervous aboit the insects and stepping on boab nuts with jandles on. The cracking freaked me out. Anyways I didn't have a writing stick so I etched my number with the car keys
The rwo green stones are still in there as a fellow cat lover, I've nabbed olthomas pathway to log

Found easily, but was expecting abigger container. 3rd find today as the quest for Perth continues...
Returned to this previous DNF with a replacement cache as we are 99.9% certain it was missing. Now a mint tin nestled in the heart of the family.
No joy here. A suspicious pile of rocks that really looked like they would hide a cache, but no. Bottles and cans from a party so maybe it's been muggled.
Trip over from Broome before heading home on a little business trip. Was great to escape the cold Perth weather and enjoy some warmth.
Thanks to all the CO for placing these to be found. Eventually I will be back this way however nothing planned yet but looking forward to exploring the place a bit more.

We are spending a few weeks travelling to some of Western Australia's warmer regions and grabbing a couple of the LGAs that I need.
Called in here to get a view of the wier. A quick find and nice to see another regular.
This was find number 3 for the day.

Had a few hours free this morning whilst in Kununurra so decided to knock off a few caches around town. Enjoyed some cool spots that the locals have chosen to share with us.
Geowife made the find here whilst i sat in the comfort of the car.
Had three weeks holiday so decided on a massive road trip to the most northern part of the state - the Kimberley. An area we have never explored, but had always been on the to do list. We travelled through the towns of Mount Magnet, Newman, Port Hedland, Broome, Halls Creek, Kununurra, back to Broome, Karratha, Exmouth, Denham, Geraldton and back home to Perth. It certainly was a very quick trip for the distance covered, over 8,000 kilometres in total, we saw a lot in such a short space of time, but barely scratched the surface of what’s out in these parts.
We would like to thank the individual COs for hiding the caches throughout these parts, from the towns to the highways and byways. Thank you for choosing to share these locations with us and we appreciate the effort you have gone to. Thanks for the fun.

Found while visiting from Canberra. I was on a tour but slipped away from the group to grab this one. TFTC
