Out caching with GrobbyGypsy and it was GG who had her hands on the cache very quickly! NEF and very surprised it wasnt more difficult after reading the description.TFTC
Found it. Easy find in a beautiful spot. If only the flies were less friendly. TFTC
Quick grab after a tour of the camp grounds. Came a little too late for the hike to top of the rock. Very warm
TFTC. Only a day trip this time, but will remember it for future camping trips. Picked up trackable
Nice late afternoon walk from our campsite on the other side. Interesting area to explore. Nice to see Neptune rising over the rock in the early evening. Thanks for bringing us to this great spot Lyn Pat and Nathan.
Found on the last day of our 8 night trip up to Mt Elvire & Sandstone. We’ll hide it a bit better than it was . Thanks for the hide, lovely to find one hidden by you three.
Camping other side of the rock and made the climb, came down to this side to make a quick find. Great camping location here TFTC
On a road trip around the wheatbelt areas of Western Australia for a few weeks. We are enjoying the many friendly towns along the way, whether staying in the CP’s or camping out. So far, we have found every cache that we have looked for, and hopefully our streak will last as we move around to the next town and beyond. Thank you so much to the CO’s of every cache for placing them for our enjoyment. They certainly bring you to many spots that you might not stop at otherwise.
Well worth the drive up here. Huge amount of room for camping.

Act of random kindness for the day - Added some extra quality swag (always equal or above/aditional swaps) considering how out of the way this is. Easy enough to get the caravan here. Arrived with just enough light to do a perimeter check and dark cache hunt . Tfth
What a pleasant surprise - after tackling a T4.5 yesterday I was worried I might need to be carried up the rock for this one. But alas - we could park very close and cache was soon in hand. Popped the log in a fresh bag - cache is in good condition. So nice to get to a L/P&N hide. Thanks for placing this for our enjoyment. Look forward to sitting around a campfire again with you soon.
Meandering out on a 'Wander out Yonder', we made it out this far.
A great road trip out to see the amazing Granite Rocks, the bird life and awesome wildflowers.
We thoroughly enjoyed the drive out, through some interesting, quaint little country towns with so much local Pioneering History that is well worth the time and effort to learn about.
Geocaching for us is all about the journey, the geography and the history as we explore this great country.
We found your cache after a few minutes walk, we thought we were going up the hill for it, but we spent more time wandering around looking at the stunning orchids and awesome landscape scenery.
Thanks Lyn, Pat and Nathan for a brilliant adventure

A fantastic spot to camp but alas we had left our caravan back in Beacon. Made our way to gz to record our visit then drove around the various camp sites for future reference. Spotted 'Honey's Bins' feature down the road - why is there no cache - amazing spot in the middle of nowhere.
Thanks Lyn, Pat & Nathan for enticing us up this neck of the woods.

Thanks Lyn Pat and Nathan...Rehashed for Gekko 1 for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces.
Huge detour to beacon to get this one. An LPN one and glad to catch them at kwolyin the next day.
Had a great couple of days away travelling the Wheatbelt. We got as far north as Beacon, as Far East as Elachbutting Rock and as far south as Kwolyin.
We spent the first night af Elachbutting Rock with Geotrakka and the second night with around ten teams at Kwolyin.
We metup with Richlink to attempt some high terrain caches near Mukinbudin, where multiple people was a nescessity for safety purposes.
We enjoyed travelling the backroads, camping under the stars and seeing amazing sights without all the people.
Great weekend away and have uploaded a bunch of pictures with the logs.
Thanks to the COs fat and wide for their caches and a great weekend.

As I was here and have logged prior, I came to check the condition of the cache. Happy to report all is well.
Dropped our van off in Beacon and truncked on out here only to find an excellent camping area and no one camping there. Maybe next time. Thanks Lynn, Pat and Nathan.
Touring from Tasmania and stopped here for the night. Saw an echidna and found your cache
TFTC We have visited this spot before. Great place to camp. First time we checked for a geocache.
Well it’s now day 7of our Northern adventure with m4yb, Jonathan the camper trailer and Max the GeoUte are heading towards the Wheatbelt. Nice night at the Sandstone caravan park now onto Payne’s Find and some rocks further south. Found this rock with no issues at all, then the cache and completed signing duties. Then off to locate a good camp spot and explore the environs. Worth a fav for placing the cache here, had a lovely visit and rock climb, me twice!
Thanks for the smiley and adventure Lyn Pat & Nathan also gecko.

Day 7 of our Adventure to the northern Goldfields and Wheatbelt. From Sandstone we took a good gravel road to Paynes Find then another one to Billiburning Rock. Finding the cache was our first priority, and was quickly located and log signed. A campsite for the night took longer, but here we are. Thanks for this cache and bringing us here LPN!
Made the trip out here while travelling arpound the northern wheatbelt, not too many wildflowers out this year but there are still a couple of caches I haven't found.
This one was a quick find, I spotted it as I was approaching.

We had a quick visit here on a wet and windy afternoon but didn't climb to the top or realise this cache was here. Spent most of our time trying to identify the gnamma hole.
Quick find once I stopped being distracted by the wonderous lizards and beautiful parrots that surrounded me! Cache is in good condition.
Camped at Beacon on our Wheatbelt Way trip and we drove up to Billiburning Rock for a look, spotting lovely orchids and everlastings and views, and finding the cache. What a lovely spot at this time of the year. TFTC
Day 2 of our Wheatbelt trip and another 425km bringing the total to 1050. 18 caches found today. A great day with some great locations.
This trip out had been a long time in the planning.
Krabiboy and I had hatched a plan and probably changed it about 10 times. dallyho joined us, final plans were set, and off we went
Very foggy here this morning and some cool spider webs here as well as a cache.
Lyn Pat and Nathan...Rehashed for Gekko 1 - Kyzabra found your cache Living on the Edge..... Revisited . The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Our Wheatbelt trip started again this morning in Bencubbin after heading from Perth yesterday. We headed north to Beacon and then east to Bonnie Rock and Mukinbudin.
We saw this one on the map before we left home and just had to make it part of our trip. As we headed north from Beacon, the road was covered in fog and it was quite serene as we arrived at GZ.

Day two of kyzabra, krabiboy and mine adventure of Wheatbelt Way. After 600 kms yesterday, were expecting much the same today. Good start to the day, expected a big hike here but even parked reasonably close. Tftc
Boy, Lyn, Pat & Nathan, you sure do get around . Found the cache and decided the screwdrivers were too good to let go, So I put some surfboards and a clock in there as my swap.

Found cache whilst travelling the Wheatbelt Way. Billiburning is a fabulous place to camp and we stayed for a couple of nights. Cache was in excellent condition and had some wonderful goodies inside.
Doing a shortened version of the Wheatbeltway and checking out the wild flowers and doing some geocaches on the way. We were drawn to this one due to its location and the fact that no one has logged it for over 12 months.
Not too much trouble locating it, and glad to report that it is still in remarkably good condition.
Did our bit by placing a rock on the cairn, and taking in the amazing view.
Seriously considering coming back here to camp in the near future.

After spending the previous night out at Petruder Rocks a little West from here, we decided to come this way to do a couple of caches. A nice easy find on a great day.
We were actually on our way to Ballinyoo bridge up on the Murchinson road, as usual we didnt take exactly the most direct route..LOL
As a matter of interest to anybody who may come this way with the intention of travelling further North (Our intention at this stage) you may encounter the same problem that we did. We drove on up through Karroun Hill nature reserve, a lovely drive. You come to the State barrier vermin fence...no problems here..all kinds of signs.."no travelling the fence line"..."no shooting"...etc etc....we drove on, admiring an interesting rock formation called Mount Churchman along the way, decided not to stop for a camp as it was a bit early and we were intending to drive on up to Paynes Find via Bimbijy. About 40 odd kms later we did indeed come to Bibijy station to be confronted by a closed locked gate across the road and signs stating in no uncertain terms NO ENTRY!...NO TRESSPASSING!
Now thats fine..its their land, i have no problem with that.....but wouldnt you think they may indicate this way back South at the State barrier fence?..It could have been a drama if you were relying on getting fuel further on if you were low to make the return trip (Yet another aside...no fuel service at the moment at Paynes Find i hear)..Anyhows, didnt really affect us, we decided to make camp that night back at Mount Churchman a great spot to put up a tent and enjoy the stars and a camp fire..
All things considered....a very enjoyable cache this was.

Found it Ok while visiting the rock on a wildflower trip with my 4WD Club.It was a bit exposed so we covered it up. Tee-Ef and Jlicta were there as well.

We can't seem to resist caches with names like this one - there was the other one we did which was called something like The Edge of Nowhere cache which is about 170km east of Marble Bar at Carrawine Gorge heading out towards the Telfer and Woodie Woodie Mines. This cache didn't disappoint and we enjoyed looking around the rock and at the variety of wildflowers still around. TNLN. Thanks Lyn Pat and Nathan
We couldn't leave this one all by itself..so went for a drive and found the cache. The container was exposed however we have fixed that now. Still in the same place just with more camouflage. We walked up to the top of the rock and added a stone to the cairn...great view!
TNLNSL...Thanks Pat Lyn and Nathan.

Congratulations on being First to find. Thanks for covering it up again for us.
For those that follow all the way out to this remote part of the wheat belt, Beacon Caravan park is a nice place to stop for the night and the local sports club is a friendly place for a drink,food and chat.
