Valentine Springs Kununurra, Western Australia, Australia

We couldn't find an ideal hidey spot due to future floods so best to archive this cache. Thanks.

Went there today, yes the original cache has been washed out by the flood so we will find another location to hide a new cache soon.

It looks like that the cache was washed out by a biggest flood and will replace with a new one soon.

Turned over nearly every rock in 10m radius... Thing it might of got washed!

Found this one easily TFTC

Quite a rocky walk

Bit of a hike but found it.

We enjoyed the 4WD Tracks around Kununurra very much. Thanks for showing us this great area!
Thanks for the Cache and nice greetings from Austria!

Wow !! A picturesque spot right by the roadside
With a fun scramble over the rocks to find a cache, included for free
Gotta be happy with that !!

The caching day was still young and I had already gotten my, recommended 30 minutes of daily exercise [^]

Hmmm, not so sure about this one. Found the cache OK but oh, the walk across all that spinifex & rocks thinking "snakes" & such - following the GPS pointer as you do. Then we found the easier & safer route back via the creek bed. D'oh! Found in company of JonDell.

This was our 7th cache find in a caching run of 10 Finds & 0 DNFs today.
We found it at 11:46 so this now makes our total find count 6946.

We took our new Jeep geo-mobile on a few 4WD tracks today. (No scratches, no dents!)
We scrambled over the rocks and spinnifex in a clockwise direction to find the cache. Afterwards we scrambled back along the stream bed - a much easier route.

Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Around 2 metres).
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Dora trinket.
Thanks Bushies2 for the hunt today.

Today we chose to have a 4x4 day out & headed out to the Parry Creek Road area. The roads reminded me of when we went up to Cape York along the Telegraph line, rough, corrugated & sometimes sandy.
In areas the grass was higher than the car. I called this an adventure.
After doing Almost made it, we could not find our way to Siamese Twins or Monster Boab hadn't used your waypoints.
Valentine Springs was found by hubby, this is a very pretty spot.
Thanks Bushies2

Quite a rough walk but we found it fairly easily when we got to GZ. Unfortunately the papers were not in the plastic bag and about 1ml deep water was in the bottom of cache so logs saturated and useless. However, being the ever vigilant boy scout and girl guide we came prepared. Safely tucked in a new log in plastic bag and hid the cache again. Thanks for another terrific cache Bushies 2. See you in Katherine!

Rough walk but pretty spot

Thanks for the swim Bushies2! Helped someone out with our bogmats...think we were meant to be there:)

Did maintenance on this one, replaced it with a new logbook and clip lock plastic bag.

With Bushies2, our third find. Lovely waterhole with rapids. Thanks Bushies2

Sorry for the delay in logging this - found while on a trip to NT to visit Racing Stripes (and then heading over to WA). Racing Stripes begrudgingly drove down the road so I could get this one, but put her foot down re the creek crossing at the springs and said she wasn't going to make her 2wd try to cross that just for caching purposes. So, we pulled up and went to find the cache - meanwhile, watching some gigantic trucks driving both through and along that same creek bed! Well, other than the march flies, I enjoyed this easy hide

The geoboys were out in force and found it. TFTC

A bit rocky we let the men handle this one. Thanks boys. TFTH

Picked up the TB

Found easily, removed items that were making rust in container.
Could do with some maintanence.!

Found with weroamin when he returned to replace the dried out contents back into the cache container. It all needs a good cleanup though. TFTC.

Thanks to Weroamin for doing mainenance on our cache, it is good again.

Found this one without too much trouble, and YEP; it was full of water. Camped nearby, I layed the contents out in the sun to dry, just as well hidden as the cache was itself. I will return before leaving the area to re-assemble the contents, and replace the log book if necessary. It's such a lovely area, I can't believe that it doesn't get found more often. Thanks for the cache. TN and left a weroamin token and Mad monkeys TB.

Found at 4.45pm GAFF1. When we arrived there was a Ford station wagon way up in the car park and we wondered how it was going to get out. We met the owners a little later on skinny dipping - Italian backpackers - and when they returned to the car to go home guess what?
The cache was found totally ruined as it was lying on its side and with the water that came through it totally saturated the log book even though it was in a plastic bag.
We took some great reflective photos of the pool and moved on.
Thanks Bushies2.

Log book a sodden mess.

Temporarily disabled this cache till we get back from our travels at end of the year and do the maintenance. Thanks.

Found and enjoyed a little stroll around the nearly dry Valentine Springs. Nice spot.
We took the Geocoin from there and it will travel West with us for a while.

found with purzzzelbaum.
tftc!

WOW!. Definitely worth the drive. What an awesome place. Just introduced some friends to geocaching & this was a perfect introduction. Thanks.

Found this whilst exploring south of Kunnanurra. A hot day and we enjoyed tipping buckets of water onto ourselves at Ivanhoe Crossing.

Nice to find one of the local's secret spots

An easy find in a magic spot while out for the day celebrating Bruce's 60th birthday.

We picked these caches for today because just by reading about them we knew they would be in beautiful spots. Today being Bruce's 60th birthday we wanted the day to be special and we were not disappointed with the stunning scenery. We had a great day out in the company of Richlink and Tangowithcupcake and we thank them and Bushies2 for making the day special.

Found at the spot with GPS. Log book is slight damp but should be okay in a drying time. Thanks to Bushies2 for bringing me to another beautiful scenery and loved it.

Gotcha !! All good but log just a little moist so put it in a new zip-top bag. TFTC

Easy find after a little walk. TFTC

In the years I've been living in the Kimberley I've never actually walked up Valentines Creek. Thanks for encouraging me to take the walk

After camping overnight at the wayside stop where the turnoff to Kununurra is on the road to Wyndham, we left at 6.40am and thought we should check out a few more of the sites around Kununurra before heading on to Darwin. We can only imagine this creek in the wet, but at least we had the opportunity of seeing it. Without the cache we probably wouldn't have come here, so Bushies2 thanks for the cache>

Last find for the day. What a successful day. Thanks Bushies2.

found at 1750 must have missed FTF by 5 min thought i would do this one on the way home in the dark in an effort to get ftf but to no avail

Refreshed after a rest from this morning and realising that our 1000 was reachable we set off to see if we could make it today. Thwarted by muggles at Swimming Beach we fled off to see if we could get the FTF. The family loved this spot. Mr Morris dipped his rod, Geogirl played in the water, Lady Morris ventured off through the prickles and rocks. Thank you for making this one easy to spot. Good coords too - we had been thinking the GPSr needed a big kick in the NT. Nice to see a nice clean page. TFTC
