Chewbacca72 and I are traveling during 4 months through Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. A few caches that are on our way should not be missing. This cache is one of them.Many thanks to Liz and Bruce for hiding. Best regards,searchersab
Zusammen mit searchersab geht es fr 4 Monate auf Reise, dabei kommen wir nach Singapur, dann an die Westkste Australiens, wir fahren die great ocean road von Sydney nach Adelaide, danach bereisen wir noch Nord und Sdneuseeland. Dieser Cache lag auf unserer Route, vielen Dank an den Owner Liz and Bruce frs Auslegen und Herfhren
Brilliant views. 2 months traveling and still enjoying all the views.TFTC
Took quite a while to find even though the coords were spot on. Magnificent view here and the water around 'the Island' was a delightful blue. Thanks for the hide.
It was fortunate we timed finding the cache before anyone arrived as despite it being wet there's still people walking around viewing the headland scenery. A rock wallaby was nibbling away unconcerned at the edge of the cliff. It clearly trusts these layered rock edges more than I do. TFTC Liz and Bruce.
On our travels we took the opportunity to grab this cache, after a windy walk along the boardwalk we took a seat until the coast was clear and got down and had the cache in hand, thanks for placing it
Nicely positioned cache which was quickly located.Observed several passing whales.SL TFTC # 3679
Out for a good walk along the trails. All quiet at this one so we made a quick find. Mrs CF was also present when the aforementioned little brown snake crawled across the Natural Bridge lookout! TFTC
Almost at the end of the run. Just as we nabbed this one a tour bus rolled up, gotta love timing so we rehid, took some pictures and skedaddled out of there TFTC
Had a quick look but no find. I was distracted by the family of whales swimming just off shore though.
Stopped by here to do the Natural Bridge EC and look for Whales, thanks for placing and

Wonderful spot with a handy find, the hint is spot on case is slightly cracked on the lid but log is in ziplock and we’ll surrounded so should be ok.
Heading north. I'm not sure how far up we will go.
The flies are out in force today.

Before arriving at Kalbarri we made a last stop this visit the Bridge and the Island. When getting out of the car we immediately were attacked by a hord of flies. We didn't expect that, tomorrow we will have our fly-hats ready for our hikes.
After a short hike from the Bridge to the Island we were able to search for this box in a muggle-free moment and sign the logbook.
Thanks for the cache and regards from Switzerland.

A quick find after taking about 10 minutes to take in the view while waiting for the bus load of muggles to walk along the path. TFTC
Nice easy find on my walk my mum found it lol we’re doing a comp in Kalbarri mums in 4 I’m on 2.
Wow what an awesome view. Had lunch here. Beautiful sunny day, no wind and plenty of caches found. We had a great day stopping at all the Kalbarri lookouts along the way. TFTC
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 is one I DNF'd last time but found this time at 09:22 this morning. TNLNSL TFTC Liz and Bruce.
Phone signal is limited. Allow GPS to settle before beginning search
Once we were om location it was easy enough to find. TFTC

Think we found the spot where it should be but no sign... reluctant to search too deeply due to earlier encounter with a snake!
This is day 2 of my Exmouth trip and today I'm heading from Geraldton to Kalbarri ! On a windy, but beautiful day I'm collecting many caches on my way north - such as several Traditionals and Earthcaches - some other cache types were also part of the list . Thanks for giving me so many opportunities to pause my journey.....
Nice and easy find at the boardwalk [:o)].

Thanks Liz and Bruce; great spot; tick, tick. Cache in good condition and well-placed saving any cachers from leaving the decking.
We were travelling towards Kalbarri, but kept getting distracted by the magnificent coastal views, whales and dolphins putting on a show, and of course, the geocaches. This one was found in under one minute.
Found it. TFTC Liz and Bruce. Happy to make the find here today. Great day to view this area.
Great views. Love it when all goes to plan and the cache is where it should be too!!
Cache and log book OK. TFTC

TFTC great little walk down a lovely path, nice views at the end, lots of photos taken
Here we made another stop, had another short and pleasant stroll, enjoyed another awesome view on another geological feature of the Kalbarri coastline and grabbed another easy find on the way.

Random geocaching on a holiday from Perth to Kalbarri via Northam chasing wildflowers TFTC
After contacting the CO Liz and Bruce, we have placed the original small sistema back at ground zero, but not too well hidden this time. Still no sighting of the eclipse tin today, maybe it is lurking around somewhere.
TFTC took us a while, thought we were looking for a eclipse tin which we didn’t find, but we found a small systema container at GZ with logbook in excellent condition but it had not been signed since 2019
Amazing views of our beautiful, rugged coastline.
TFTC Liz and Bruce this is find #12521 for us.
TFTC Liz and Bruce this is find #12521 for us.
Last year we couldn't find it, this year it was a quick find.
We arrived with a new log sheet, but the old log wasn't that wet and had enough spare room.
So we just made a little rest on the bench nearby and waited until the log sheet was dry again.
No new log sheet needed.

TFTC Liz & Bruce, the cache was right where we thought. All safe & sound. Log signed & returned.
Due to a bit of confusion this cache still needs a new log book, please help if you can. regards Liz and Bruce
Could the next geocacher attending this cache please take along a dry log book or log scroll. with thanks Liz and Bruce
Family holiday in Kalbarri for a few days so thought we'd look for a few. Enjoyed the walk up from Natural Bridge along the pathway. Stunning views with so many whales off the coast. Cache was not where we expected it to be, and I nearly gave up but thanks to Master 11 for his persistence, he found it. Lovely spot to sit and drink it all in. TFTC
Day five of our stay in Kalbarri out and up early again chasing down some smilies. Had a go at this one yesterday for no joy. A bit more time up my sleeve today and eventually found it lying on the ground after about a 20 minute search.
However disaster struck as I was trying to replace it where I thought it should go, it fell and I wasn't able to retrieve it. A kid with rubbery arms might be able to grab it but I definitely couldn't. So I replaced it with a brand new preform container exactly where the other one originally was, on the ground. Still well hidden and out of harms way.
Liz and Bruce I found your cache at 7:10am, this was the 2nd of 6 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 6510.
