Big Red Hammer Bunbury, Western Australia, Australia
By richlink on 07-Feb-09. Waypoint GC1MEM4

Time to go - have replaced too many times!

Pleased to be heading down the SWH and clear up the last few that have since been added after I cleared out the series.

Found half of the cache, but it is in desperate need of some TLC from CO.

TFTC richlink.

richlink, I found your cache Big Red Hammer on 11/6/17.
This is my find #5255 and find #15 today.

This one is in need of some love from the CO. Found bag, magnet and tape but nothing more. Added a piece of paper with my name but doubt it will last long.

Went looking for this one today, and remembered that I have found this one last year. Still looked for it today, to find half of the cache missing. Needs a little tlc. Cheers Troy

Quick find. Tftc

Quick find tftc

Found it during this rainy afternoon.
Quick find but so many mugglers, even for a Sunday !
TFTC

Second attempt and no go. Will be back. Third time lucky I hope

Went back for another quick look. But alas nothing. You could see scratch marks there but nothing now. Thanks anyway

New log sheet placed.

Still catching up on some caching we did on our most recent trip to WA from Perth south to Augusta and a few places in between.

We had the pleasure of living in Busselton in 2015 for six months then spent a further six months living in Mandurah before moving back to nsw. We have been back twice in the past 18 months as it always invites us back especially to the warm days and beautiful scenery and beaches.

It's a real shame that we only discovered geocaching just when we were moving back to nsw so we have a lot of catching up to do in our favourite places in WA each time we return.

TFTC TNLN. Until next time WA it's been an absolute pleasure.

Cache needs maintence found piece of paper in my bag to sign log wet through tyftc

Tyftc put new paper in for now

Had to call into the Big Red Hammer and grabbed this cache while there. Have done one before so knew it when I saw it

TFTC

I was a part of rojo sm now
Moved tk my owen account but i have found this cache
Thank you and
Geo on

A nice easy find after a hot chocolate at Bunnings.
TFTC

Love this style. Well done. It is damp but OK at this stage

TFTC. Great hide. It is very wet.

Tftc

Good find did at night tftc

Tftc, log is very wet and will need to be replaced, we have placed a piece of paper inside for interim.

Awesome tftc

Quick find as we walked past. So obvious but so blended in. Tftc.

third time lucky. took Mr Geo to discover this well camouflaged treasure. Love the idea. TFTC

Great cache well done

Omg great hide...

Fantastic cache

Good quick grab and sign after grabbing so goodies from Bunnings TFTC

Cache 999! Oh, the anticipation. I'm not sure which I will like more: the tension and suspense of my 999th find or actually finding my 1000th cache? Aw what, get over yourself - they're only geocaches !-) yes, but it's fun.

A quick find with a stealthy grab and return.

We came to Bunbury to man a booth at a conference (on our wedding anniversary- yes, I know) so we had to do a few caches. Today we had a very successful day at the conference and had to celebrate with a cache before returning home.

Tftc

Out and about with pprass for an afternoon run, fragging from shopping. This run was the around inner parts of Bunbury. I think that there must be a cache in every Bunnings location. This was the best for the afternoon. Thanks for the cache. I saw the Bunnings lady smile while we were trying to be discreet, she must know!!!!!

Found at 4:01 PM GAFF1 in the company of xambo4u on our "Find as many mint tin caches as we can" afternoon tour .
Ah - there just about has to be a cache in each one of these stores. We parked right next to it, even though we didn't have a trailer and spotted the cache before we even got out of the car. A quick grab, but a lady was giving us a good look to see what we were up to.
Thanks richlink.

Sneaky hide.

Tftc..sneaky:)

I have had my eye on this cache for a while, but it has always been too busy for me to have a look. Today, I was lucky enough to be able to park right next to the cache and make a quick grab. Great camo!

TFTC richlink!

Found this one a while ago. Must have forgotten to log it. Found and resigned log. Tftc

Yay! Quick find and then shop. TFTC

Sneaky... very sneaky TFTC

Aws

I'm still on roll of speedy finds, adding this clever one to my collection.
I think that's enough caches for today as this body needs to drive home & recover from my big social antics last night!
Thanks for another great cache & yet again more chain stores I often shop at in Australia.

On holiday from the UK & staying with family in Busso. Whilst the others went in search of some bits for Mr P's computer, Mrs P took full advantage & nipped across the car park for a nice quick find.
Thanks Richlink for the cache & the fun.

Thx richlink for the cache. Glad to have located this great hide.

At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking year through the world. Most of the time I'll spend in Australia and I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge during this trip. The chance of having a moving home zone should be takes, as it will make the challenge so much easier.

Today I made a trip to Bunbury to visit some of the local stores. Wasn't lucky with my shopping, but found this cache without any problems.

TFTC and greetings from Germany

pretty cool

Down in Bunbury for Christmas for a week with the geofamily so decided a few caches were in order.

A bit of retail therapy nearby for the Geowife while I grabbed the cache.

richlink I found your cache Big Red Hammer on 21/12/2014 12:54 pm. This is my find #2379 and find #2 today. The cache and log are fine. Thanks for the cache!

TFTC

Tftc very clever idea

Brilliant. Tftc teamed up on a low muggle day with blaze169

Woohoo !!! Found it !!! Third attempt at this one. Great camp, great idea, love it

TFTC! Out for a weekend caching run to Bunbury with Cravo10 and ItsKate to complete the South West Highway trail, some Moneybox caches in Capel and of course as many others along the way. Thanks

Made it to Bunbury after tackling the SWH series today for 12 hours... Now to pick up some close by caches whilst staying the night in Bunbury. Signed log in a variety of ways depending on space, either full names cravo10, itskate, Barnzy12 or with just first letters. TFTH TFTC

Out with Barnzy12 and Cravo10 on this beautiful Saturday on a long hunt from Byford to Bunbury, what an amazing day. Tftc

Walking towards GZ we saw the cache, took it and went back to the car to sign the log. Quick find as we have seen this one before. TFTC

Very clever, took a little while. Can't believe it has been sitting in plain view but rarely seen. Thanks

I'm unexpectedly in Bunbury today after buzzing around the Sou-west on the weekend and was back in Perth yesterday.
Good coords had me on to this one quickly and it's late enough in the afternoon to be relatively muggle free so a quick grab was made.
TFTC richlink, we grabbed a couple of yours yesterday too!

Found it! Extremely clever

I love this place. Saved some money by attending an event instead of shopping.

Quick find on very busy Saturday. Seen this one before. Very clever.

[Blue]# 10283 Found on the WA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
A perfect sunny day to find a few caches around Bunbury.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache richlink,
[Red]Roostaman[/Red] (from NSW).

Thanks to ever observant JBS, while this is a very clever disguise, patience is a virtue.

Replaced log sheet.

Having a relaxing few days in Bunbury, decided to do some evening caches. Very clever, if i hadn't seen one similar I would never had found it. TFTC

Great hide. First of this type for us.

"Perishable" will need to be replaced soon.

First one of this type!! We Like it!!!

After the soccer at Forrest Park, the men wanted to go to Bunnings before heading home. We joked that the rest of us will just continue geocaching there - not really thinking that there would be a cache.
Well...surprise!

After being sprung by the local police and educating them about geocaching, we quickly found this one before midnight

found on a very rainy day with caite16 TFTC

An early morning start and hoping to beat the muggles. We parked right next to GZ so it was almost a lean and grab. Fortunately we had seen this type of hide before although it fits well hear so it was an easy find. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

This was our 12th cache find in a caching run of 33 Finds & 1 DNFs today.
We found it at 08:42 so this now makes our total find count 7676.

Out caching with The Drovers again today. We started quite early in an attempt to beat the heat - and by and large it was a successful day.
Mint tin after mint tin after mint tin. This may have been our only "imaginative" cache today.
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Around 2 metres.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks richlink for the hunt today.

Spent the morning caching, around the northern suburbs of Bunbury.
A great day was had, in the company of Ian and Penny.
This cache was an easy find, and in good condition.
Many thanks for the cache, richlink.

Niiiiiice. Beautiful cache. Very creative.

TFTC easy find on night cache

Second time at this cache and we managed to find it within 5 minutes! Quick and easy find

Out early today before the heat taking Kira (geodog) for a walk along the beach. On the drive home I finally picked this one up. Had looked for this before with a geofriend but he gave me a hint that had me looking in the wrong place. Chat with CO and with his hint I guessed the type of cache I was looking for as I had found four of this type of cache in the last two weeks (becoming a popular cache). So very pleased to be able to cross this one off my list although I did enjoy looking for it every time I went to Bunnings. Muggle husband will be pleased as well as he was getting tired of waiting in the car while I had "just a quick look". TFTC richlink.

Forgot to mark as a favorite.

Nice hide. Great way to start a nights caching

Easy picking at 10 oclock at night!

Had to wait until after dark for this one! Easy find just got attacked by ants & flying bugs they are now living in Mike's dreadlocks!

Found it with a newbie to the game Cupidgal thanks for the great find

Looked for this for a good 40 mins with mrose21 and no luck. Must be a clever hide richlink. Will have to try again another night. Car park lights turned off at 10:00pm. Torches were out but we decided to move on. Not defeated as we will be back.

The kids and I had fun looking for this

Very sneaky:)

Sneaky:)

Slick, thanks richlink.

Great hide! Soo clever!

I wonder how a clever hide like this would have been muggled. I would also be interested in what sort of a caching spare parts kit you must have you carry around! Thanks for your maintenance and the clever placement

3rd attempt at this one and finally got it. Tftc

Found it

Yaaaaaay!!! finally a sence of relief at finding this one we have been back so many times and finally we found it!! thankyou richlink for the cache!!!

Braved the gusty rain to check on this. Yep, it was gone - for the second time!
Luckily I had brought a spare container with me so all good to go.

richlink, could yu please check if cache is still there, been back a few times n startin to our heads in

First night-time cache. Found with Dimor TFTC.

Thought would attempt this after hours after a talk with copwats. Picked up freebkids and TomatoesRule and headed down there. A quick find & grab by freebkids so TomatoesRule and I could sign the log
So much easier with no muggles around.
Had a quick look yesterday but nearly got ran over so gave it a miss.
