I only had the coordinates from my query for this one. And now I see that I am not the only one who can't find it. Could the cache owner please go and check if it was muggled? It's not fun to look for something that's not even there.
Here from Canada, caching our way across Australia....
Had a good look for this one but unfortuately like so many before us, we came up empty handed.
Thanks anyways VolKayno

Were disappointed not to find this one. Think we got the location easy enough but 3 of us had a good feel around and no luck.
Pretty sure we had the right location, but after much searching we failed to locate the cache.
I looked all over the cart and had no luck. I'm no stranger to WA micros that are actually nanos so not sure what went wrong. Oh well, I enjoyed the hunt. Just no luck in Collie.
Was passing through this way and remembered there was a cache on a coal cart somewhere on the main street. Had a quick look, but without the coords or the listing, didn't waste too much time here. Will leave it for another day when I am better prepared...
First time we looked for an hour or so couldn't find it at all. This time it was right infront of our eyes needs new paper has run out of room
Visiting town whilst camping at Wellington Dam.
Mr Felix crawled all under this, but still no luck!

Inspected every bit of the cart, am used to nanos so know what to find, but maybe it is just as well as previous other logs from some months back suggest that the log is full anyway and I wouldn't have been able to sign anyway. It is a pity that the owner does not answer emails when cachers offer assistance in their caches, as was the case with me recently.
Found this one while waiting for a chinese takeaway meal. No space left to sign log,
nice cache few muggles around but easily spotted

Our first nano find!
Took a while to find this one. Very hot day, wasn't going to give up though.

TFTH.We got this after our second attempt.It was easy to find once we read that it was a nano...Champstarr
Found by a very excited young geo-son! A relatively easy find, and it was interesting looking at the coal cart. A good replica.
Unfortunately we could not get a good look at this one, there were too many muggles about.
The morning traffic was starting and we felt very exposed so after a brief search we gave up. Will have to tackle this at a later date and at a better time.
Found it after sometime, tricky little spot, was very difficult to get out. TFTF
Really struggled with this one. Four pairs of eyes and hands looking and still couldn't find it. Very fustrating. Will come back when it's a bit drier for another look!
FINALLY! YES! I have found it! It was sooooo tiny.
I found this with JGang and Bob98.

HUZZAH! Found! Finally! At last! I sighted and got cache while Bob98 trudged around in his ugg boots.
Seeing as the part of JGang that is writing this find is JediBudgie (who found it). Forgot pen though and dad
had gone to hardware shop to get something so had to zip over to the awesome Holden place to get one (which they generously let us keep).

After a long hard search found it coming home from radio station with Jedibudgie and Jgang
Driving back home in the dark and passed this lovely cart which caught Mr Moneybox' eye. He said,"I bet there's a cache here" and sure enough, there was. Really quick find for a nano. Very small but found one even smaller down Albany way. Yes, it's true. TFTC and for bringing us here. We will definitely come back in the daylight and spend some time looking around.
our group has joined the fallen[xx(]

This was a little difficult because of the muggle activity in the area. Managed to find it and signed the log. TFTH
Only a few muggles around so was able to go down on hands and knees to find. Nice replica cart. The mine entrance and list of lives lost were good.
A nice little location and a nice little container. Thanks volKayno and Beauges
Didn't realise we didn't log this, found after wandering over after the Two Up. Great Australian institution that
Found it, finally! After using the wrong coordinates at first (our first go at GPS), our second attempt was successful.
Such a busy intersection, and with a meeting at the Miner's Institute was a little tricky, but we weren't noticed
After some hunting around eventually we found it and wrote in the log.
Note: log almost full.

Hardly out of the car and the team were coming back with this one in their hand.....
A cold start, but the day soon warmed up & was perfect for a bike ride. Found this one with Richlink after a bit of head scratching.

FTF! We both had the day off and went for a drive. Lovely day in Collie with the leaves just starting to turn. Trying to find this cache proved to be a bit of a challenge in the middle of the morning. Fortunately the mission was accomplished just before the Mower-woman arrived.
Thanks for the excuse to get out and about. TNLNSL
