By richlink on 26-May-09. Waypoint GC1RWK9

Silly idea to place it in a swampy drain.

Took my shoes off and went for a forage.. .couldn't find it

Time for it to go!

Ahahahahahahahaha no

Not here

Managed to find this one today!

This weekend saw the jinta crew planning our first over night camping trip for some time and we headed southwards to explore this area! We headed away from Baldivis and meandered our way towards Busselton collecting smilies along the way. This cache was one we targeted for our weekend adventure. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there richlink, I was in this area today and found your cache Provence? Je ne pense pas! GC1RWK9. I added my name to the log book at 11:33 am on 5 December 2020. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

A quick find here. TFTH!

Found whilst out on an extended weekend road trip to Busselton, Dunsborough and surrounds with I C Nothing, Meme28 and geotrakka. Signed log as KAMEINGT.

Finally our girls weekend has arrived Kapelula, Meme28, Geotrekka and I C Nothing are heading south with four full days of caching to celebrate some birthdays and geo milestones. We have been puzzling like crazy in preparation so our aim is to find those caches and everything else that takes our fancy. Maybe even a challenge or two. Signed log as Kameingt.
Nice quick find.

Heading south with Kapelula ICNothing and geotrakka (KAMEINGT) on our girls weekend.
Another smiley... after attempting this several times!!!

Out on a girls long weekend away with ICnothing, Kapelula and Meme28. Thank you to all the c/os for placing the caches and creating the mysteries. We are logging as a team KAMEINGT to save time and paper. Hoping to hit some milestones along the way.
I looked far to hard for this one and spent way too much time on something that was in front of my eyes! Thanks for placing this

Me&B was even braver than usual and was triumphant!

Quite a quick find considering but wet shoes for the rest of the day.

TFTC

Ugggg so annoyed as couldn’t locate ... bloody stinky mud and thousands of spiders n webs ... will be back maybe when hell freezes ... so annoyed hate not finding them

Thanks heaps....this was fun and a tad challenging

Container replaced.

Didnt find not there

Unfortunately richlink I couldn’t find your cache Provence? Je ne pense pas! today. Hopefully I’ll have better luck next time I’m here.

before the school bell rang before the pond filled with water, nice area log has seen better days a bit soggy TFTC

Caching around Dunsborough and Busselton area, found numerous caches varying in different shapes and sizes. Thank you to all the CO's for placing these caches. TFTC

Day 2 of our visit to WA for the WAGB18 event in Dunsborough. Today involves travelling around Busselton. Mainly collecting puzzles plus a few others along the way. Amazed with the lush green paddocks! Many thanks to the COs who have placed and maintained their caches along the highways and byways that we will be travelling in the next week or so.

Day 2 of our stay in this part of the world, and a bit of caching with megawat60 before the WAGB festivities start.
Je suis de ton avis, pas du tout la Provence. Anyway, he made the find. Merci richlink.

First real day of the WAGB weekend and out with m4yb again.
Quick find once I read the hint.
Thanks for the hide and smiley

Managed to keep our feet dry.
A break in the rain so we headed out caching.
TFTC richlink this is find # 5309 for us.

Down this way helping to sort out some things for WAGB18, looking forward to seeing you there.

Picked up this and many more in the area. A cold wet and miserable day however map turned from green dots to smilies TFTH

richlink We found your cache Provence? Je ne pense pas! thanks for placing this cache for myself and others to find.

Nice easy find - beautiful day to be out caching

??

We have been out and about the last couple of weeks and have grabbed a few caches along the way, hence some of these logs are a bit late, so apologies for that. It is always good to take a break and grab some caches

Thanks for the cache richlink [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry .

This was find # 8 of 8 and 1 today giving us a total cache count of 3370.

nice and dry for me

A quick find after my osteo appointment. Now back to Perth. TFTC.

Found this cache which has been in my radar for quite some time as one of very few unfound caches in Busselton!
Tftc

Hi there richlink.

We found your cache **"Provence? Je ne pense pas!"** at 11:41:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 15460).

We started the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site, and then took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types and sizes that were hidden along our route. (We found 13 caches today & DNF'd 0).

Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Was a bit muddy but all was good really. Cache in good nick and in great hiding spot. Tftc

We're learning how to find them! Love Anna and Hayden

Woohoo !!! Found it !!! Didn't get my feet wet today.

Tftc great hide

Chris & Renate from Ontario, Canada

In busso for the day with the family so decided to get a couple of caches in the way home. Great hide

Got a lump on my head but i found it

Got wet feet trying to get this one. Log looks like it been wet but its dry now

Took me a while to find this one due to water. Finally had my hands on it with a few Spiderman inspired moves.TFTC

Found it with some wet shoes .

Great spot. 11-07-2015

I can't believe it took us so long to find this one lol ... A beautiful bridge it kinda reminds me of Paris ... It was a crazy noisy find with two adults and 5 kids !.... Tftc

But to wet to write on the paper

Originally logged under family caching name, clan-wallace, now relogging under my own name.

TFTC! Found whilst attending the WAGB Event in Busselton. I enjoyed an epic three days caching throughout the South West of WA.

All caches were found generally very well maintained by the local COs. Thanks

Very strange, the container is bone dry but the log is very wet. Did someone drop it in the water? However we were equipped with our new Super Pen, courtesy of WAGB so signing was not a problem. Perhaps someone just wanted to test their pen! TFTC

Bonjour,
Je'mapple SHLJ, et we found le cache. Tres bien, supèrb spot. TFTC

Tftc nice quick find on our trip home from Busselton. We came to town yesterday for a wedding and decided to grab a few geos whilst in town. With blaze169 and geo granny

Tftc nice grab easy find got muddy feet but not wet

After bumping into the CO at another cache OOH YEH decided that she had to give this cache another go after previous dnf... My son made the find quickly and rehid the cache for us... TFTC

Was out with kristybelle today picking up a few caches.
bumped into the CO at a previous cache and started talking about this cache that i couldnt find before and didnt realize it was there cache i was talking about. This cache was on my list and it was also the last one for busselton today as i was running very late. How i didnt find this before is beyond me, the grandson spotted it instantly and passed it to us to sign and replaced it back again....TFTC richlink

Found it

Tftc!

TFTC

I had heard a lot about this cache, before I went out to visit it today. And I had a sense of what I needed to do to find it. Buoyed by the recent log regarding the replacement of the cache, it took a few minutes of hunting around to discover the clever and secure hide. I'm glad I visited this one in December. TFTC richlink

Replaced muggled container. Please replace as found so not obvious to muggles.

We think this cache is gone...

Sacre bleu!!! Searched for ages and came up with nothing but spiderwebs in my hair and muddy shoes!!

Searched along with Acachea, similar inconveniencing results, even with the aid of a torch came up with rien. Je suis tres decu! peut-etre un autre jour.

Tftc have been trying to get back to this o e last time it was full of water and we fell in wet,wet,wet tftc

Have been driving past this one along the Hwy for ages and today we had a bit of time up our sleeve and decided to make the short detour to go and have a look for this one.
We parked nearby at the edge of the park and took a short walk to the structure. As previous finders have stated, searching for this in summer would be better than in the wet season.
A nice quick find. TFTC.

Found with SeabreezeOZ, TFTC.

Found with SeabreezeOZ, TFTC.

Geo-hubby got bored sitting around the camp, so headed off to find some caches.
A nicely hidden cache, glad to be doing it now and not in April.
Many thanks for the cache, richlink.

On our way back from half of us competing in the Busselton Jetty swim, decided to try and get to 200 GCs. This was the first. Good location and well placed, although winter might be less pleasant. Pleasant park to live near. TFTC.

Thanks for replacing this cache. Found it on the second attempt. :0)

On a caching mainenance run with richlink to Margaret River and Dunsborough and grabbed a cache or two on the way home

As I hadn't found this one yet as last time I came here there was water so the CO kindly did a slight detour so I could sign the log.

It's not bad when it's dry

Log signed and time to go home

TFTC

Nice and dry today. Thanks Richlink.

Replaced container.

I think this one needs checking please

No luck either

Mmmmm. 2 things. 1) Oh for a bit of french to understand the hint. 2) Why didn't we pay more attention to the numerous other DNF's! Grrrr... Had a really good look around the GZ but discovered nothing.

We had a bit of a look around but there was too much water around and we were not willing or able to walk on water. We will be back another day. Thanks for the cache richlink.

TFTC

Awww. Thought we'd give it a go before heading out of Busso after this WA Goes Big w/end. Our only DNF even though geo hubby rolled the trousers up and "eek"ed his way thru the squelch. We supposedly came to within 1mt but this one has given us the slip (good thing geo hubby didn't do that)!

Didn't want to get wet, wait for summer

Well we came, we saw, we got wet... But we did not find it. Will have a go in summer when it's above 9 degrees LOL

Great spot

Nice easy cache. No wet feet and a nice day for caching with my lovely geo wife.

Pretty place

Qui cach still there zowsky

Found with Geo-parents, Geo-nephew (1st cache) and Geo-dog.

Found it together with Moselund United, on our trip in Aussie:)

RJG15 first find of the day and I got sent back to the car for the pencil

Nice park and water feature, I assume I would have been easier if I could read French.

Thanks richlink.

Took a couple of minutes to find, but found it we did. Didn't even have to get our feet wet either. Thanks richlink PS May not be Provence, but could think of worse places to live, lol

Mud mud glorious mud I wouldn't want to do this one in Winter TFTC

TFTC, nice fountain and bridge Found with freebkids and no pen to sign

Found it on way home from finding arrivals and departures. Great day for a ride on push bike.
