Lookout Your Being Observed!! Dongara, Western Australia, Australia

DNF, same as previous cachers. Must have been muggled again. Thanks anyway Ian&Sue bringing us here.

Seems like someone is working against us with this cache, everytime we have had a dnf we have gone down and replaced it only to have it disappear again.

Time to thank everyone for their logs and retire this cache.

What a great spot. I love the information boards. They even answered my first question - Why are some of the trees white? I had to laugh at the answer.
Will keep an eye on this one and attempt again after confirmation from the CO.

Took octogenarian Ballidu Lad with me on another "bucket list" quest. This time we headed north to Kalbarri.

He had his own mission up there, while I was happy to drive and enjoy the sights. Being able to pick up a few caches along the way was a bonus.

Searched high and low, but then had to abandon the search due to arrival of several muggles who settled in for a picnic lunch. Don't know where it is hiding. Will watch this one to see when someone else logs a find.

Thanks Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder

Tried but could not find it. Must be very well hidden

Not unusual for us not to find a Nano. So we headed down for another DNF at the birdhide.LOL
Enjoying our wedding Anniversary up here in Dongara though. Great weather too.

Didn't find this time either, looked 2 years ago, Hint was not in the bushes , but looked to be in bushes on steep hill, Will try again next year.

Took a bit but had a win! Our first find in dongara on our holidays, swamp monkey02

thanks for a great cache, fantastic viewing spot leading to a great walk. I agree that the letterbox opposite is fantastic. Geohubby again had the patience to find this one, you really have to look high & low for this, and our gps had us going slightly off. you will need a stick or something to retrieve. again you need a pen as it is so small. SL

Didn't happen for me today but thanks for bringing us here anyway.

Found the little beggar at last. Third time lucky thanks to reading previous logs. Grabbed an extraction tool from a bush and had cache in hand. Existing log strip was full so we added two new short strips and signed log. TFTC

What a cool spot. Also loved the house across the road with the surfboard letter box! Nil muggles in sight but GPS had us about 10 over the rail too . So we stayed with the structure and searched low and high until Geodaughter spotted it.

TFTC Team Pathfinder

Found about 10 from gz. Keep telling me to jump off the rail lol. Lovely spot that's for bringing me here

Spent about an hour looking [between muggles] but too tricky for us. Our GPS did want us to head bush but that was never an option from what we had read. Thanks.

Paper log needs replacing!TFTF.great nano.Spotted by Grandad geocacher.

Searched high and low but no luck. Nice view though.

Had to come back for a second look and Wholla, TFTC

Had 5 pairs of eyes on this, any hints, looked in the obvious spots and no luck! Do you want us to check while we are in town, flip us an Email !!

Staying in Dongora for a weekend away, perfect opportunity for caching! Spent at least half an hour trying to find the little bugger! Would love to come back and try again:)

2100hr
Out for a walk and a cache hunt as we are staying at the "Seaspray CP" just down the road! Had some muggle friends along for the ride and they were suitably impressed by the difficulty and the size!
Did take a bit of a search but then when we put on our "caching thinking cap" we went pretty much straight to it!
Thanks for the cache and hunt, Ian and Sue. TNLN SL

A nano on a structure like this can be a problem. And it almost was. Quitters luck kicked in and we were off. The views and all those birds in the trees across the way made up for the nano! Indeed we were being observed by the woman watering across the road. She knew something happened, but she does not quite know what did.
Thanks to Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Find the container at 07:51. Signed the log, with Astro thanks Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder.

Great lookout onto the river and the sea. Best of Dongora! TFTC!

Staying Dennison for the weekend.
Went back a second time.
Success!! Enjoyed every minute.
TFTH. Bella Vista

Quick find.
TFTC

WooHoo - third times the charm. We came back again today with a renewed enthusiasm, and within five minutes had the little bugger in or hands. I'm sure we looked in the same place on the previous visits, but there you go. Its obvious, but it also blends in. TFTC
Brocky5

Not sure what time Brocky5 came through but we managed to find this at about 9:30 on Monday on our way up north. Cache is a very tricky nano...very similar to the one at Cataby.

Great little spot, cheer for the cache.

Could not find it today - looked in all the usual spots, I hope it has not been muggled. Brocky5

We came back today after reading through all the log files, and looking at the pictures. And still walked away with DNF. Either this cache has been muggled, or it is really really well hidden (or we are really really blind !).
Brocky5

It took a few minutes of searching but we got there in the end. Nice lookout - in fact we decided to stay in Port Denison for the night. Thanks.

quite a tricky one for us!

Muggles all over the stairs and an impatient 3 year old at heels did not result in a find. Next time...

Found on our trip up to the north. Nice stop for eating lunch.
FTFC

Found at 10.05am GAFF2. We were pleased with the lookout over the river, town and then sea - so many layers of scenery! There was a woofa incessantly woofing at us so of course it's owner started to glance over to see what we were up to.
This nano took us a lot longer to locate than it should have as we were looking at terrain level 1.0 places - ie at about waist height. We we eventually found it at a distance of 5 metres at a terrain of 2.0 and more for some people!
Thanks Ian&Sue.

Bloody nanos took some finding

Found at 1.20.

Took a bit of searching but finally found.
No paper, so put some in (needs replacing).

Great views from here.

Thanks for bring us to a beautiful town.

TFTC

Well we found the cache but as the logbook is no longer in the cache we could not sign. We were hikeing through and were not able to replace the cache log. Thanks for the hide.

we stop to have lunch at this cach so that a the mugg's had left so we could find the cach , when we did find the cach we found out that the log was fill so we could not sing it anyway

GZ was in thick spikey bush on a steep slope. I did search but lost enthusiasm the more scratched I got. Nice view, though. And the walks are great!

Quite an easy find. Nice views SL TFTC

nice view and good hiding place, but I found it immediately

greetings from Switzerland

No way. I didn't want to go out into the bush... so left after what seemed like ages looking under wood panels and stuff. The coords pointet straight into the bush..

- Quick Find, our gps was a bit off though.

Good look around . lots of steps, looked with Lori41, Nanna Joan , Gary and Jenny. some mugglers about.

This one took too long to find. The GPS had us all over the place to start with before settling down & pin pointing a location to search. With 3 of us it still took too long for a micro cache. Was just about to give up, and didnt want to be beaten we had one last look & found it. Oh there you are..hate nanos. TFTC

Thanks for the cache.
SL

This took a bit of finding - finally geodad came through - just as we were about to give up. Another find on our way up to Coral Bay after an overnight at Port Denison. TFTC

we looked but with no success...decided not to waste anymore time trying to find it as we had a big drive to complete.

Hey!

Great place on our trip to Darwin.
Greets from Germany.

Perth 10.12. I seemed to spend ages here, but no luck for me. It seems I just did not get though enogh. Thanks.

Albida

We did this cache in the dark after the one at hiding out. The geofamily seemed to forget about the hills what with only being able to see with the head torches. It was very easy to look for this one as no one walks down this street after dark(except geocachers LOL) Team pathfinder may i just say that your cordinates were spot on and made our search very easy. Thanks for a great hunt [^]

Had a good look around but the GPS put GZ in the bushes in the slope. Did not fancy traming all over the place and gave up.

Spent over half an hour looking, and had a good sat lock, but no luck.

2nd go at this one with a good look around but no luck.

Team Osirisra

We have replaced this cache - please be very careful when putting it back. Thanks

The 2nd cache we attempted of the day and unfortunately this was DNF. Did this twice and both times had no luck even after we got a hint form Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder when we did another one of their caches and ran into them at the GZ.

An absolutely amazing view so it wasnt a complete loss. Thanks for the hunt

Even with the clue that Shael6636 alluded to; it was not to be. Oh well, great view and nice town. We'll choose a cooler day next time!

Gave up on this one...

seen el doprado on the hill

Found this after a short search with cyclone brian. It was slightly exposed so I was not really sure if it was where it should be. Signed the log and replaced it carefully. TFTC

nice little cache first micro i have found was lucky to see it blended in the sand well

Another easy find for TRR in a spot that we've visited before. We stayed in the local caravan park last trip as well and went for several nice walks on the track below here (the track left heads into town). SL. Thanks to Ian and Sue for the cache and the challenge.

very clever, it took quite a bit of finding! very happy to find it though, thanks!

Definitely no bush bashing required on this one. Quite a stealthy hide. TNLNSL Thanks Sue and Ian.

Our very first geocache find with our son and his family. My hubby found this tiny little, well hidden little beauty. Thanks

Formerly the geocachers known as markandmandycrook!

Great cache, took us a while but we got it!

Geocaching, it works really arround the world mate!

it took me a while to find the cache ...in Switzerland we call them nano Caches

In two month in a bushcamper from the tropic north of Darwin down to freezing Perth.

I like bulldust and corrugations, 4WD driving, serious rivercrossings and bush camps off the beaten track.
OK I like also the wildflowers too...

Australia is really a great country and people are so nice (OK, sometimes hard to understand )

Aussies keep it that way!

Thank you for the Cache.

I had a GZ 4m west of the stairs in the middle of a big bush. I had noticed the comment about the vegetation so got out the other GPS but it gave the same GZ. Then the area became muggle central so between the two problems I didn't get to find the cache. I had also used up all of my spare time so didn't get to do any other caches in the area.

Maybe next time it will not be so hard to get a fix.

Very clever Great fun. thankyou

Its so obvious its not obvious, eh.. LOL.

We were really keen to find this one after the DNF logs we had noticed. We searched up down and around but it was eagle eye Bruce that spotted it in the end. Thanks Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder

Yay! My first FTF!! This one took about five minutes to find.
I was really suprised to find this one as I thought that if people hadn't found it before, it would be gone for sure.

TNLNSL TFTH

Congratulations TDSBob on your first to find!!

We check this cache regularly to make sure its still in place usually within a few days of someone posting a DNF - I checked it on my way back to Geraldton a couple of weeks ago. We are really surprise that no one has found it sooner, maybe its your surveyor skills kicking in!!

We took a second look at this one on our way back from up north.
We searched all over the stairs but didn't come up with anything. Quite a few people around for a Friday avo.

Nah, we searched all over for this one and even came back after we found the nearby Hide-ing Out a bit off its' coords. After a weeks driving holiday to Kalbarri and Monkey Mia we decided to give it another go on the way home (April 24) and no such luck again.

We had no luck here, although we are used to finding micros (and even nanos) in Germany and searched more that 30 minutes. No idea what we overlooked, it´s a pitty.

Had a scrounge around but no luck..lots of muggles around.
