Upside Down Squid Bindoon, Western Australia, Australia
By the_robots and intarnets on 07-Mar-09. Waypoint GC1NE98

Sadly, this cache has had a road pretty well go through it, meaning this GZ isn't so useful anymore. Sorry folks.

Found the rocks which hid the cache on our previous visit, but no sign on the cache now

Looked around but could not see any signs of the container or cache, suggest it has been found and removed by muggles

Found the squid but the bag with ink and log book is missing I think

Out for a drive today heading to Bindoon dropped in for a quick find TFTC!!

An easy find, but the ants just wouldn't stop coming!
I'm convinced I've got an ants nest in my car now =/

Thanks for the cache

On my way back from New Norcia this morning, I couldn't pass this one up. Definitely a cool tree! A quick and easy find.

Thanks for the cache the robots and intarnets!

An easy find at base of tree but why not put in hollow of tree? The cache will be a bit more water proof and muggle proof?

Any way great reason to stop and stertch our legs.

Trip over, 300 reached, great photos taken and even managed to get some work in. A successful trip in all.... Interesting location to hide the cache, Watch for the large Golden Orb Spiders! I nearly walked in them.

Co-ords had me in middle of nowhere, so started to widen search area, when large ants homed in on my shoes. Jumped up and down to dislodge them, and then looked at clue hoping for a quick find.
Easy find. Signed log very quickly, as all sort of nasties gathering around me.
Job done - stood up to find the southern hemisphere's 3rd largest spider about 1 foot from my face !!!
Made a hasty exit back to vehicle.

Road was a bit busy today but noone paid us any attention.

Dropped a TB.

Still a bit damp.

Cool 2nd geocache in less than a hour and second ever loving it. watch out for the ant hill. its looking bit wet in and around cache. TFTC

Sent newby AJcowboy to collect it whilst I waited in the shade as I forgot my shoes. Watch out for ant hill near by and the cache is very damp and log book almost too wet to write on. Needs to be dried out for a bit. Took earrings and eyeball, left earrings. TFTF

A bit wet, put cache into new bag.

The log book is nice and dry but the treasure is pretty soggy, thank you from the welch family.

stopped by on the way up to bindoon for a job
parked in the pull off for a quick p'n'g

Quick find on our way north

Last one of the day just on sunset. No trouble locating and completing requirements. This road was very scenic at this time. Beautiful sunset on one side and spectacular rainbow on other side of car. Whole country side the greenest I have ever seen around Perth.

On the way home from a cache maintenance visit to New Norcia and a pleasant dinner at the Bindoon pub, we braved the chilly night air for this quick find (now that we knew the characteristic hiding method!)

Nice quick find on our way back from seeding near Calingiri. SL TNLN TFTC

Picked up the Cache on route to home after spending a day hiking the trails.
Dont currently have a GPSr and Iphone had no reception, so it was a bit of guess work,
but found it OK just from the description.

Cheers Robots.

This is our second find, found it alot easier now we know what to look for. Great fun,

When we saw it we immediately understood the name. Good one. It took someone to think a little outside of the square for that. We were a little stunned to move the cache and find an eyeball staring up at us. It must have not fitted in the cache container, so was placed on the ground beneath it! We filled in the log quickly and continued on our way. All this stopping was certainly making us look like we would be late for out planned overnight stop on the other side of Perth. TFTC

Found on our way to the Pilbara and NW for a camping break..many thanks for the cache.
A bit of imagination helps

tftc sl . easy find on a trip around the bush.tnln

Found on our way to Karajini nice easy find .

Quick find on the way to New Norcia. Plastic bag is very damaged, but otherwise cache looks good. TNLN TFTC

Quick break on the way to Mandurah .... nearly gave up as I got attacked my bull ants on the way to GZ, but found another (safe) way after a while. Loved the Squid!!!

Thanks again Robots

Nice quick find on our way to Moora TFTC

The start of our camping/cacheing trip! TFTH

No problem finding this one on the second attempt and a re-charged iPhone battery 5 hours later.

A truck was also pulled up in the rest stop, must have wondered what the hell I was doing wandering around the bush beside the road!

Good easy intro cache or point of interest if travelling, if not a bit public!

Wandered around the dam and took some photos.

A nice easy find during a day out driving. Perfectly timed for a break and some lunch. TFTC. TNLN.

Found it with Geowife and sister-in-law. Took GC LN. On my way to Sandstone for a family celebration.

easy find, nice spot to stop for a break, left gc. the cache does however need a new waterproof bag, perhaps the next cacher to come by might be able to replace the bag, we unfortunately didnt have a bag with us which was free.

A quick stop when driving past. TFTH

great stop on the way to new norcia

The last find of the morning on a cache run with Askalon&sons found at 10.30.

A quick and easy grab and I now understand the cache name [:p]

Thanks the_robots for another cache and another smiley face.

Found this one on our way home from the "West Oz Challenge" 4wd comp.
A friendly Gecko was gaurding your cache for you today. He was sitting on top of the box but he took off before I could get a photo.
TFTH

Poor squid - no water nearby, so no wonder he ended up the way he is.

Geokiddy located this one with ease on our way north. Didn't have time for it last time we were in the area, so good to get it this time. Thanks.

Found with the Reluctant Companion on our trip to Albany for the Ulysses AGM Event. Quick find in a busy area with lots of road works going on. TNLN. TFTC.

Great squid. Shame able all of the rubbish. Muggles really can be disgusting!
Had to make sure my little Askalon avoided the soiled jocks and tiolet paper strewn all over the place.
Despite the pants we managed to find the cache in a second.

A quick stop on the drive back to Perth. TNLN. TFTH.

Nice and quick cache. Took tb. Thanks the_robots and intarnets

Determined to get one more find before hitting Perth so as to 'clock over' to our 300th, we were pleased that this one existed and we could find it. We left the Unite for Diabetes TB and replaced the bag the cache was in.
Thank you for this cache.

Paddock was dry when we visited but contents of cache a bit damp. A good spot to break the journey back to Perth. TFTG

A quick around the rather squelchy area meant a last find for the trip home. TNLN, TFTC

We pulled up at the same time as PirateBus, so waited for them to return it before letting junior DTeam members loose with the GPS to go get it again.

Contents were getting a little damp, so we removed some of the damp packaging in the container, and placed the container in a ziplock sandwich bag before re-hiding. (Too big to seal bag, but should still provide some protection).

Took nothing, left small bouncy ball and a candle.

Last find on our holiday up north.
Took the dinosaur, left glowing ear rings.
TFTC

Our last one on our wildflower weekend. easily spotted under the stickoflage. The paddock was very damp with my feet squelching as I walked across.

This was our first cache we found on our way towards Mount Augustus for an enjoyable week of camping in our great Australian outback.
We found the ant nest before the cache and kept a wary eye out for any wandering bities.
They do hurt as we know from past experience.
This would be a great place to stop in the shade on your way out of Perth for a lunch break.
There is a concrete table and chairs under a shady tree and a cache within 50m...sounds perfect to us.

One side of the "squid" has the cache. The other side has a bull ant nest. Make sure you search the correct side!

Found on the way to State Champs. Rogaine at New Norcia. TNSL Left Casino Chip. TFTH

Stopped here for the night and found it at first light
The Soldier Ants nest "appears" to be unoccuppied.

Took bottle opener, Left keyring.

A quick find. TNLN SL
Thanks for the cache, The Robots and Intarnets.

Was intrigued by the name, now it all makes sense...nice one.

No problem in finding it quickly. Its a good way to have a break from driving whilst travelling up the north. Thanks for the cache.

Found it on a Sunday drive down to Bindoon!

Hadnt expected to find a cache today.

Found on our way home from orienteering in the Julimar State Forest and placing two caches near Bindoon

Quick grab on the way home. TNLN

Cool, I'm the first to find. Careful around the tree, Huge spiders have made a home from the branches to the ground. Met one eye to eyes.

Easy find, only a 10 meter walk once parked.

Great coin I took, didnt know it was there.

@mcraig - apologies for that, 'intarnets' was meant to log the coin, as they moved it from 'Load of Bull' same day we placed this one.
