K1 - The Mushroom Kalbarri, Western Australia, Australia
By Liz and Bruce on 02-Jul-09. Waypoint GC1VDAF

What a walk.... we are out and about exploring kalbari today, the winds are too strong to swim so we decided to find some of the caches along the coast. I was very impressed my little miss trouble who normally doesnt like to walk that far. There was little to no complaints from her

Thanks

Thanks

Hi

Found this one

Nice walk in to grab this, found after a short search, SL TFTH and bringing us here.

Thanks Luz and Bruce!! Amazing walk!!

Beautiful walk TFTC

TFTC. Found on visit to Kalbarri

Thaks to Liz and Bruce for providing this cache for us to find in such a beautiful spot. We walked in from the Rainbow Valley side...and will now complete the loop. Visiting from Melbourne, 6 months into our western half lap...weather today has be drizzly, and now sunny. Very much like Melbs TFTC

Found by geoson. Great location. TFTC

Went for a bit of a walk for this one, on the well-formed path. Loved the amazing rock formations and the colours of the layers in the rocks. Great place for a cache, thanks. Picked up a TB here as well.

On our road trip from Perth to Darwin we stopped here and enjoyed the amazing rocks and their colors. We put our own TB, the Quily, in this cache. His goal is to travel home to Switzerland.

Today we hiked along the Indian Ocean on the beautiful coast and placed TB. We enjoyed the beautiful rocks and the whales.Thanks for placing and caring.

This is a fantastic walk for seeing amazing rock formations. Just a shame it started raining as soon as we got to the cache. We shouldn't have been surprised, we had seen it out to sea. It just came in awfully quickly while we were being distracted by the scenery. This coastline is stunning! TFTC Liz and Bruce.

On our travels we took the opportunity to do this amazing walk we took the clockwise approach which worked for us and soon had us at the GZ after a quick search geo hubby had the cache in hand, an amazing walk back to the car and lots of photos taken a favourite for us, thanks for placing this fun cache

An easy enough find in a nice area.SL TNLN TFTC

View from cache is amazing! TFTC!

Journe Kalbarri dans le Parc National ce matin, baignade et balade sur la cte cet aprs-midi. Un bien joli spot et une cache qui se mrite ! TFTC logue en team Mado.

In hot temperatures and wind! we went on a short hike. It's wonderful what Mother Nature has created here again. Thank you for showing.

Tftc.Amazing walk

Thankyou we found it, beautiful hike

Found and log signed TFTC

Tftc!

We are heading out of Kalbarri and stopping at a few of the places along the way. It was an interesting walk with lots of information boards.Thanks for the cache

This one took me a little longer to find than it should of. I was just indicating to Mrs CF that I hadn't found it when my eyes fell on a likely hidy-hole. Fortunately all quiet so I was able to take my time.Great views along the coastline - we've had a great few days in the area. TFTC.

Stunning coastline to explore, fun cache to find

What an amazing view. Spent a few days in the area playing tourist with all the other caravanners. Today was for caching, brief mention for the Kalbarri bakery... oMG amazing food and cheaper bread and milk than the iga

Awesome views and walk in the rain! Tftc

Found it TFTC

Impressive and captivating! Stunning coastline - no wonder there were ship wrecks out there. The trip is making me think about re-imagining Australian history - Noticeably there’s no mention of the Captain Cook !!! In Kalbarrie for a few days with plenty of time to explore on trusty treadles - amazing kms of bike paths. Hid the MTB to wander to GZ and soak up the sense of time gone by. Have travelled WEST from home base 3500 km away and that includes altitude as well so enjoying the landscape and habitat changes of this BIG country. TFTC and a fave for the lure to visit.

Heading north. I'm not sure how far up we will go.
Went the long way to get the cache...

This morning we visited the Kalbarri Costal Cliffs with our start at Eagle Gorge, then Pot Alley, Rainbow Valley, Mushroom rock and at least Red Bluff Lockout. We have spent some marvellous hours at these really special places enjoying the views, the beaches and the walks.

When walking the Loop we were so impressed of these rocks and cliffs that we forgot to look after this cache. Only in the middle of the loop before turning back to the carpark I noticed, that we had walked past the cache only some meters. Therefore we decided that I will take the longer way back to the cache whereas Little-Inegüxle and Mum-Inegüxle took the short way back. When arriving at GZ for the second time, I was able to find the cache in a reasonable time.

Thanks for the cache and regards from Switzerland.

Zusammen mit cabeceo den Rundtrail in den frühen Morgenstunden erwandert, absolutely wonderful! .

We did a nice little walk in from the Rainbow Valley end today to get this smiley. What amazing terrain. TFTC

TFTC. Great reason to take this walk with amazing landscapes.

Another easy find a bit of walk to get to tho signed and put back where found Ty for this hide!

Nice trail walk today with Geofamily. After a trek over some rugged terrain soon had the cache in hand thanks to geoson TFTC and lovely views.

Great informative loop walk about the millions of years of geology !!!
Kalbarri National Park has so much to offer, thanks for bringing us here, TFTC Liz and Bruce (a late log)

Tftc. But of a walk! Great coat line. And ricks!

Nice little circular walk but I probably should have worn better shoes, rather than all terrain crocs

Phew! a long walk, rough ground, lots of steps, hot day and old legs. I got my full share of exercise today. A trip out to Kalbarri to pick up the caches which have been placed since my last visit in May 2015 and to have another shot at the ones I missed then. This one I found at 10:15 this morning. TNLNSL TFTC Liz and Bruce.

5. cache today A fast found by windy sunny️ weather We take one of the three TravelBugs on the way TFTC and greetings from Switzerland

Tftf great views up here!

We saw the mushroom at first from another location, very nice how erosion shapes the rocks here, however, the cache we had to approach from another path, we left 3 TB's here, TFTC

Tftc…. Last one today

Found while walking along the circuit track. TFTC

Beautiful geological remnants here; what a spot. All in great shape here. Thanks for setting this baby up for us.

Found it, took a little bit but got it in the end! Left a note, loved seeing everyone's cards!

An easy find after a windy approach. Raining on the way back to the car, TFTC

I often can't see "things" in rock formations, but I could see the mushroom. We did the loop walk from the carpark and picked up the cache along the way. There are very informative story boards about the geology of the area along the pathway.

Found it thank you!

2 x family group stayed at Kalbarri for 10 days. We enjoyed wandering this area..  one of them spotted the cache and signed the log. Thank you Liz and Bruce. 

Stayed at Kalbarri for 10 days - we all enjoyed wandering this area. Thank you

With grandparent 21Outback, Thank you

Blustering winds and a fair trek down

Thanks. A nice walk on a very humid day.

TFTC good hidey hole, lovely stroll on a rainy day

The walk from Rainbow Valley offers astonishing displays of geological formations and curiosities. The colours are amazing, the Geofamily definitely enjoy this place.

TFTC quick find on a very interesting loop walk

A lovely walk with geoson whilst the muggle and geodaughter waited in the car. A temporary log sheet has been placed in the cache. Thank you for placing the cache here to tempt us on this great walk.

Sorry to say we had to miss this one too unsteady to do this rocky walk. Thanks anyway.

Could the next geocacher attending this cache please take along a log book or scroll. with thanks Liz and Bruce

Nice walk, tftc! The logbook is full

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Family holiday in Kalbarri for a few days so thought we'd look for a few. A nice quick find after a big day exploring. TFTC.

Nice walk, needs more paper for names and dates.

Needs more paper

Day three of our week long stay in Kalbarri and up early again chasing down some smilies while it's a bit cooler. To be honest though the weather has been quite pleasant so far, if not a tad windy.

Nice careful downhill stroll to GZ from the carpark with some amazing rock formations along the way. A quick find once at GZ and back up the hill the way I came. Thought about doing the whole loop but chickened out.

Liz and Bruce I found your cache at 6:24am, this was the 1st of 6 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 6498. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

A long trek, up and down but worth it for the views. Allow time for this one. Cache itself fairly easy to find when I got there and coordinates were spot on

Took a little while but eventually found it. TFTC

Another awesome location. Beautiful cache spot

A hard 2.5t walk but the cache is there . Tftc

TFTC with Never2old on our road trip wasn't that hard

Thanks for bringing us to this amazing area! Bit of a hike but worth it! TFTC with M_G63

Absolutely stunning area...i have been meaning to grab this one for a while now.....went past it on a walk when i first moved up here and didnt check if there was a cache until much later duh! But today i finally got my act together and found it...TFTC and the

Greetings from Scotland. We really enjoyed our walk along these paths. The colours are spectacular and we can see how the area is called Rainbow Valley. We are really liking the landscape around here. It was almost moon-like, apart from the colours. We arrived at GZ and MrsF did what she usually does when she is faced with a pile of rocks like this. She stood back and looked for something slightly unnatural. She saw something and MrF checked it out as he was closer. The cache was in hand. We could have been there for so much longer. The log was signed and the cache replaced as found.


*This is our 10425th logged find. Found at 16:23 hrs.* TFTC

Trouve facilement lors de notre belle promenade au milieu de nombreuse mouche.

Stunning rock formations. Spotted kangaroos on our walk. TFTC

It was a great trip along the west coast of Australia. There was a lot to discover and of course we also looked for caches. Some caches lured us to places that we would not have visited otherwise. Sometimes we were rewarded with a great view or a wonderful location. Some caches we discovered very quickly, others we searched longer and some we searched in vain. Now we are back home and think back to a wonderful time in West Australia with great experiences and a lot of caches we have logged. This tradi is one of them.

Thanks to all owners for hiding their caches. They made our time in Australia even more exciting. PePPer812

Auf dem Weg nach Norden schnell gesucht und gefunden

Danke sagen HunttheHunters and Missy

I was doing a road trip from Darwin to Perth and found this cache along the way. Thanks.

CamperVan trip from Perth to Exmouth.

Easy and fast find. TFTC

Not hard walk, fantastic view. TFTC

Got it pretty quick!

Ouf found this one!thx!!

From 23.09 until 24.11.2019 Stadibast and I spent our holidays in Australia.
During the first four weeks we drove with a camper van from Darwin to Perth along the West coast and its amazing national parks, in which we made several hiking tours.
After that we flew to the wonderful green Tasmania for a roundtrip lasting two weeks.
For the last three weeks we went back to the continent and followed the South-East-Coast from Melbourne to Sydney.
We had impressive nine weeks in Australia, in which we hiked through various national parks, visited interesting sights and met many friendly and helpful people.
Thanks to all owners for setting and maintaining their caches.

We had no internet reception and forgot to log the find one we were back in reception. We took a big walk to this one. I think we should have parked closer haha alot of fun tho

Found it, thanks!

Found it ... friggin drone buzzing us

Found it, be careful not to fall as you climb to find this one!! Red screw top container

Today our tour - which began in Perth, WA , and led us thru Western, Northern and Southern Australia back to Perth, was simply cruising from Geraldton to Kalbarri.


On the way we came to some interesting locations. Here we searched, found and logged this Tradi-Cache.

Weather was good in the morning and it should even get better during the day.

Thanks to 'Liz and Bruce' for showing us this location, for the fun we had with 'K1 - The Mushroom' and the smiley. The search here and today didn't take too much time, fortunately.

Greetings from Germany and we hope to see you soon in the forest.

On our trip from Perth to Exmouth we made a 2 days stop at the Kalbarri Nationalpark. Today we visited the coastal line of the Nationalpark and walked on the Nature Trail. We had a great view (incl. humpback whales) and fun.
We have 2 months for holidays in Australia. My aim is to find every day a Cache. This is our sixth day and my seventh logged Cache.

Squeezed our initials in but it does need a new log book. Was not up to a return trip to the car to get one. TFTC Liz & Bruce

I loved this little hike and to look for the cache. Thank you for placing a cache there.
New logbook still needed. Sorry, I did not read before.
