Had a good look around but couldn't find it. Lots of cobwebs on the plane at the moment so wasn't too keen to go poking around too much though.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this series for us to enjoy all these interesting remote spots. This was a previous did not find for me as I was looking for the original cache and not something smaller.
Another long trip around AU over the top end with lots of detours. Now heading back east across the Nullarbor.TFTC. Took a couple of rounds of the plane before finding it back at the first place I looked.The cache was empty so I added a log.
A micro on a plane, should be easier than a micro on a cannon, right? Well, yes, although not so many places to hide it, we still overlooked the correct spot a few times. Took longer than it should but good when sacada called he had it! No log, but added one in.Today was York to Narrogin, a little rain on occasion, but for the most part, still good caching weather. Started the day with caching about York, lots of adventure labs to guide us around town, and a variety of other caches, too. Tree fishing caches took a priority and added a different element of fun. Passing through each town which all seem to have their ALs and a chance to explore. Arriving into Narrogin later, a full day. Completed by a night cache spotted walking distance from our camp to round out the day. Thanks for your cache!
WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 40 - Brookton to Beverly via a surprising amount of roadwork and no other towns. I had a slow start to the day, there was not far to go. With all the shops closed yesterday for a public holiday, I did mu town walk this morning, and grabbed a bit to eat while visiting the last two caches in town. With that all done I got on the road, for a very stop start trip. I only managed one cache find in two stops before getting to the RV park and setting up. This meant I could cache the rest of the day without the van. The caches were a mixture of evilly hard and nice and fun. I failed i several places and have no idea what I have missed, but they were all found in early May. I did my town walk here and visited the Labs in the main street, some nice art on some buildings. After a rest in the afternoon, I'll be heading into town for dinner tonight. hmm, another one of these planes. It is well presented, with lots of information, but it was still a tiny cache. At least I was tall enough to reach this one.Thanks for the cache VK6XZ47433.19 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & May 2022 FTF V A#488**Albida**
Found in the first place I looked. Thanks for this sneaky one. With Caperdoodle 2.
Found it TFTC Found in good condition. At last passing this way again and can change a blue to a smiley
Met up with Fratra and Geotrakka trying our luck at finding a few smilies as we go. Very happy to say that this is one of them .Some logs signed as N2OThis is my 12478 find Thankyou VK6XZfor placing and maintaining this cache.
14:03 Almost walked away with out the smiley face.***I didn't really have a plan today. Left home later than I wanted. We had thunderstorms in the early morning.* Most of the day it was sunny.* Spent a day in York and Beverly area.* Finding around 40 caches with handful of DNFs.* Picked up last bits of Hall of Fame (HOF) series and Road Less Travelled (R.L.T).* I filled one new D/T matrix combo - Mt Observation (4/4).* When I was grabbing lunch in York I recognised another geocacher - neva2old with grandkids. I should have said hello. * This time I listened audiobook: One Day.* So many ants also... and so humid.
Out with Cirrus_WA and I C Nothing (plus a geokid) for a roadtrip exploring the hills. Love the variety of caches found throughout the day!
Due to health problems I am currently unable to visit this cache, over 200 Km round trip.I hope to be able to get there by end of November.If this is not acceptable I will have to Archive it.
Today is the third day of our short mini break in York. The long weekend has been wonderful so far . For todays activities, adventures , exploring and geocaching we have firstly decided to do a loop down to Beverley , taking in the Wandoo series. Then in and around Beverley itself including the Adventure Lab . It is our first visit to Beverley and we are impressed with the history and the upkeep of the town . All in all it was very enjoyable looking around Beverley and having a leisurely lunch, before heading back to York via the main highway collecting geocaches all the way. The morning started quite cool and overcast before warming up a little bit by midday , the weather is so changeable at the moment, we cannot let that effect geocaching though. Alas we searched but no luck here.
Tried this one a few years ago with no luck, but success today. We signed the last spot on the log so it needs a new one, sadly we didn't have one with us.

Joint find with JDog&Puppy and Toof&BigT. Have taken photo proof as log was full and didn’t have paper to replace. TFTC
Found after a bit of a search, fellow geocachers also from busselton rocked up and helped out . TFTC

Was a good stop to stretch the legs and the kids enjoyed checking out the plane.

Our trip to Australia continued today from York to Narrogin. On the way we visited some Tradis, which are just along the way. Also some LAB adventures, partly with bonus were solved. In between there was a cooling in the swimming pool of Pingally.
Now we have arrived in Narrogin. Unfortunately, four months too early to visit the MEGA.
Thanks to all owners for the caches.

Would be interesting to see and hear one of these in the air, I thing they would be a tad louder than the gliders flying around today

Nice quick find on our way through today. Enjoyed reading the history here. Thanks WanderingAus for another nice little cache.
7 for 9 today. My first find in Beverley after the coppers gave me a lift from outside of York. TFTC
Thanks for the hint. Was just passing through but might have to stay a couple of nights now and go to the museums
Found ourselves in Beverley after a (mis)adventure previous day and enjoyed the local hospitality and snagged this smiley. TFTC.
Out on a family geo caching adventure .
We had turns in finding them and some it was a matter of who got out of the car fastest, signed log and returned

Heading home after a great weekend camping in Kulin for IGD21. The route home has been chosen to allow a couple more LGAs to be ticked off, plus pick up a selection of caches along the way 
This was one that I stopped off at. No-one around so got straight down to making the find in the first place I checked But I now realise I forgot to note down the number for the final, doh. Cache is in good condition though. Thanks for bringing me here - TFTC

We took the scenic route via Narembeen, Bruce Rock and Quairading and picked up a variety of cache. We finished the night with pizza in Kenwick. Thanks to everyone who made this weekend so much fun!
Out and about for day 3 of the Kulin event weekend, before heading back to Perth. Thank you to all the COs for their efforts!
Really neat location, which being my first time to Beverley, I was unaware of. We found the golden cache shortly after a brief search. Cheers WanderingAus!

An interesting piece of history we hadn’t noticed on our previous trips through the town. Thanks for bringing us here.

Never trust a hungry dog to watch you food- unknown wise person.
Quick find once the right angle was taken. Enjoyed taking to the kids about how planes fly and jets work while we were here.

Road trip day with SirFancy and Mr’s Z & T.
We headed off early this morning with our goal to grab some Wheatbelt labs and whatever else we came across.
We started off in Beverley before stopping for lunch in York. Finally it was off for an afternoon around Northam before turning from home.
From the snores coming from the others in the car I’d say it was a fairly tiring day but we were happy to come away with 15 labs, 5 finds and 1 DNF for the day.

Thanks WanderingAus for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 3116 for me.

WanderingAus wandered by on a maintenance run, and confirmed the cache was missing again. I replaced it in the same spot it had gone missing from.
###Cache Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO, WanderingAus.
The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 30 days to see if either
- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken
**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

Had a fairly good look...even scraped a lot of the cobwebs away with a stick...but couldn't find anything. As we're only a couple of hours from home after being away for three weeks, we were pretty keen to push on. Will have to look again next time we're passing through.
