Found with e.gregory1 during a trip from Adelaide to north-western Western Australia and return. After camping out along the Great Northern Highway last night we continued our travels finding a selection of caches along the way. Stopped here for a short break as we were passing through Dalwallinu, before heading on our way . Thanks for the cache WanderingAus!

We love strolling around the cemeteries. Happy to score another LKA. Tftc

DNF

Where is it cause we went exactly on the spot and looked for it twice and it was still not there

Heading back home after Xmas on the farm. Planning to stop and hunt my way back. Hoping the 41 degrees wont come to fruition. Taking the inland road this trip. Thanks to the CO’s for placing caches in remote areas for us wonderlusters to enjoy.
Whewww - just managed this before I lost total sunlight! Love these multis! Thank you

Found while returning from a trip to Mount Magnet.

Found on a trip to the west from South Australia., visiting friends and relatives, checking out the sites and finding caches of interest along the way.

The weather has been really good since I headed north of Perth. There has been no rain and the winds haven’t been too bad. Makes a welcome change from the previous 3 weeks when I was constantly beating my way into strong winds and it rained almost every night! I hope it holds out for the next couple of weeks as I head south end east on my way home.

The required information was gathered at the waypoints and final coordinates determined. The cache was found a short distance away at good coordinates and is in excellent condition with a brand new logbook.

Unfortunately the logbook (or cache container) didn’t contain the clue for GC1QYV5. I messaged the CO offering to add it to the logbook before I left town, but didn’t receive a reply.

Thanks WanderingAus for the cache.

WanderingAus wandered by on a maintenance run, confirmed the cache was very wet, and replaced the container and all contents with a new drab camo'd 500 ml round screw-top container, with a logbook, finders cards, pen, two pencils, a pencil sharpener and a small quantity of swaps.

A trip from Mandurah to Geraldton with a few detours for LGAs. TFTC.
Good straight forward multi.
Log book is very wet but you can still get the number from the last page.

I found the grave and did the sums. AT GZ the cache was found, but it was totally waterlogged, and impossible to sign. I have a photo as evidence.

Left Jurien Bay and headed towards Dalwallinu via Coorow and a few places in between picking up the odd cache along the way. Thanks to the CO’s for placing and maintaining caches.

On my birthday weekend we decided to do geocaching and adventure very unplanned way. We spined the bottle and drove about an hour to the direction it points and do geocaching. Dalwallinu was our fourth stop. Tftc!

Nice quick find. Out and about on our 4th day of a nine day adventure TFTC

After overnighting in Wongan Hills, I continued on with my Dalwanninu Dash to find a few more WanAus caches.

Another spectacular spring day in the wheatbelt. A huge thanks to the cache owners for such an enjoyable day.

I made it!!!

Hi there WanderingAus. While on a flash trip to Lake Annean, I found this cache at 08:03AM after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to WanderingAus for this cache - our find 9410 and the 1st of 3 finds for the day.

FieldNotes:

Visited on the way through Dally after a brief trip around the wildflower loop. Worked out the calculations for GZ and soon had the cache. TFTC

Another LKA down. Can’t get enough of these TFTC

Found this 1 thanks to Jamie

Find 6 of 19 on day 4 of our road trip, today transitioning from the rocky goldfields of Mount Magnet through the wheatbelt, finishing in Mukinbudin.

Continued our walk through the bush and did the numbers for a quick find.

TFTC WanderingAus!

On a road trip up to the Mid West. Today, we drove to Morawa, Latham, Wubin and on to Dalwallinu where we stopped for the night. We enjoyed the variety of hides, particularly those that were placed on or near signs that depicted the history of the area. Thank you to all the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.
Find #4019 for us today.

Found in the evening as I stopped here overnight with the job. Info was gathered and the geo found just before dark. TFTC

Quick find here today with Orrsome Family on a geocaching road trip to Dalwallinu. Live an LKA cache. Tftc

Quick find out with familysteiner tftc

Found it. TFTC WanderingAus. GPS died just as I went through the gate. . . . Is there a message there ? New lease of life with a quick charge. Then a quick find. Nice camo’ here.

Info gathered and a short drive to GZ.
Very nearly dismissed the camo here.

TFTC WanderingAus this is find #11296 for us.

Amazing place!!

Nice quick find here.

After finding your nearby cache we made our way to this one. I love the LKA series and this one was no exception. We found the source of the information and worked out our coordinates. We made our way to gz and spotted our prize straight away, I love the camo. We added our names to your log book and returned your cache back to its location. Favourite point coming up when I get a fresh batch. TFTC WanderingAus.

I love the LKA multi's, and exploring these country cemeteries. This was great camo too! We started out with the geopups on our adventure for today! Which coincides with day 1 of stage 2 of the Covid 19 plan. Leaving home at 0330h in Baldivis we drove an 820km loop. Our main aim was a maintenance check an Watheroo, taking in sights and scenery of Joondalup, Gingin, Badgingarra National Park, Watheroo National Park, Gunyidi, Dalwallinu, New Norcia, Bindoon back to Baldivis, arriving at 2030h. What a great day! Thanks for the cache and greetings from Baldivis.

We made a trip to some nice places and on the tour we found this cache.

A little time this afternoon to continue the search for lost Jewels. The mystery is getting real.

On my Retirement practice, heading north to warmer temperatures. What better than finding the occasional cache on the way.

Thanks WanderingAus for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 13:01:00. This was my Find 5 for today out of a Total number of 17 Finds and 0 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I signed the log and returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 4733.

Nice walk to cache. Easy to find the required info. All well here. tftc

Thank you! Being a public holiday, I took the opportunity to take a road trip to Dalwallinu for caches, LGAs and clues.
I particularly had my eye on this cache, and was happy to find the cache safe and well. Clue noted for the future.

This morning was a great day for caching with it being overcast and a lot cooler. So it was off on the hunt with ilook4geo. We had a good day, with picking up some caches along the route we took, as we headed southish again.
Each cache found had both names added to the paperwork and each cache was found to be in good order. We are gathering caches in as many LGAs as we can while we are in WA. Thanks go to WanderingAus for this cache placement. Numbers worked well for this multi and cache was found without any problem.

Out to pick up a few caches today with goingplaces2. Nice day and good caches found. Most were easily found. It was a fun day of travelling and caching. Thanks to each CO for the smiley gained.

A rare day off during grain harvest so we decided to head up towards Dalwallinu and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide.

Quick collection of details here and a short wander to find the cache. all in good order.

TFTC WanderingAus

Found cache as we wandered around the cemetery. The container we found seems to be an the first placed. Log book inside last signed 2016.

Did the rounds collecting the info to calculate gz. No dwa number in book so had to contact previous finder. Thanks WanAus

Continuing our adventures and enjoying the beautiful display of wildflowers that WA is currently showcasing we took the opportunity to broaden our smilie hunt, happy to say we came up trumps here TFTC

pug002 found it 2/8/2018 on our trip north geocaching. Hoorah at last we found a LKA without any trouble. TFTC WanderingAus

Out with B12 getting smiles in the wheatbelt. Thank you WanderingAus
Note cache GZ precariously next to bulldozed mud.

Hmmm great camo indeed - if you like that sort of thing!!

A planned road trip to Jurien Bay with a different route than normal, nearly triple the kilometres to grab some smileys. Some great caches, some outstanding caches and unfortunately some just not there. Beautiful scenery right on our doorstep we just need to go and find it and how great is geocaching for that. Tftc

TFTC. Thank you for your service Corporal MW Robinson. Loved the cache!

Some caches on the way home from a camping trip up north in Kalbarri to get some more LGAs. WP1 could be worked out quickly, final was also found quickly but the cache was full of water. Drained water and luckily log was dry in its bag. tftc sl tnln

After spending the weekend at Ninghan Station taking part in the State Rogaining championships with my daughter, we headed back to Perth grabbing several caches along the way. Quick find once calcs performed. TFTC.

Nice hide. I was looking straight at it for ages before I realised it was the cache.

Awesome. Finally got here to cross it off the list. Thanks

Headed back up to Geraldton for another caching run (third time this year). We started off by picking up as many caches as we could in the wheatbelt on the first day before arriving in Geraldton. The next day we headed up to port Gregory and Kalbarri and the highlight of the day would have to be be the pink lakes in port Gregory. Day 3 saw us caching in Geraldton picking up some we missed last time and clearing up a few of our DNFS here before adding some more DNFS to the list. Day 4 we headed off to mount magnet picking up some caches along the way till we arrived there. I must say the caches in mount magnet were quite tricky to find and it was also a stinking hot day so we didn't get to find all the caches we were hoping to find there. The last day we cached along the coast on the way home. Once again it was stinking hot and we missed doing a lot of the caches we hoped to find plus the flies were driving us crazy but we still got to visit some great places. Most of the caches we looked for we did find and we came across some very sneaky well made cache containers along the way. Thanks to all the CO,s for placing there caches for us and all the other geocachers to find.

WanderingAus wandered by on a maintenance run, moved the cache to a new spot, and replaced the container with a drab camo'd 80mm diameter 90mm high round screw-top container. Left a logbook, finders cards, pen, two pencils and a pencil sharpener.

This cache was also included in GC1QYV5 WanAus 89 - Roaming Western Australia replacing GC1QBV4 WanAus 72 - Dalwallinu Dawdle, so there is now a number in the back of the log book.

My partner called to tell me that she had just made a purchase over the internet, and the goods were located in Geraldton, so I hatched a route to grab as many country caches as I could along the way.

An interesting wander through another country cemetary.

TFTC WanderingAus.

WanderingAus, I found your cache WanAus 169 - LKA Dalwallinu on 3/10/2016.
This is my find #3018 and find #7 today.

It was a bit off the coordinates but in an obvious place. Looks like the Shire have been having a bit of a clean up. Nice easy multi, on a pleasant day in Dally. TFTC

People may think that cemeteries are morbid, but they are a peaceful place to be, well that is what i find and the history of these old cemeteries are interesting tales of old and new.

??

Found the cache lying on the ground. Seems to be more logs in the log book than what's on the app. Co-ords seem to be out. Guess it's the one. SL.

TFTC! Found on a day out caching with Cravo10 heading up to Dalwallinu and surrounds. Great day out covering nearly 1000km and picking up a bunch of archived caches that are still in place. Thanks

Big Road trip with B12 today covering just short of 1000Km left home at 5am and got back home at 7pm.
was a great day out maybe next time i will be the passenger so that i can have a power nap or two or three in between caches and on the long haul home. Found a great bunch of caches and arrived ones too. THTF TFTC

Heading to Perenjori for work, I decided to leave extra early so I could grab some caches on the way.
I found the numbers needed, and made my way to GZ for a nice quick find.

WanderingAus I found your cache WanAus 169 - LKA Dalwallinu on 13/10/2015. This is my find #3953. TFTC.

TFTC WanderingAus

Our last day of our adventure and the GeoYota with m4yb and are heading back to Perth slowly grabbing some caches on the way.

Our second of the day and an easy assignment led us to the cache, m4yb completed signing duties and we were off out of town. Thanks Dalwallinu, I like your style, and thanks WanderingAus for another smily.

Up and away early this morning and this is our second cache of the day before moving on from Dalwallinu.
Took a couple of minutes to locate the grave, then do the calculations and feeding them into garmins. Then off for a walk and a find. TFTC WanderingAus.

#5 of 6 finds today. Enjoy these short multis. Didn't take long to get the correct information and then off to find the cache. A quick find so many thanks for placing this cache. TFTC TNLN SL

After finishing the Miners Pathway yesterday we made our way to Dalwallinu for the night.
Wow what a cold night, I had to sleep with double clothing just to be warm but we woke to a beautiful sunny day so at least that part is good.

After packing up the camper and doing a cache nearby we made our way to this one

I had worked out the co-ords at home the other week so a quick walk to the cache for another find for the morning. Did signing duties and put it back before going off to visit the grave of my Great Aunt Jessie

TFTC A bit of water in cache and log slightly damp

if I've log all that I've done on our short holiday this one should be my 2000th find
Great to claim it near Aunt Jessie

We replaced the leaking cache and put it in a zip lock bag.
Everything is good.
We were chatting with a local Council guy and he told us the area of the cache was going to be cleared but the big trees should be safe. He now will make sure it stays safe.
The photo is of the garden for unborn babies. Apparently there are a lot buried there.

Quick multi puzzle to find, our gps was out abit but found the cache with Peeted. Container full of water but log book dry thankfully. TFTC.

Travelling north with Happyjacks55 and found this cache on the way. TFTC

On my way north, following the sun. Picked up a couple of GC's on route from Koorda to Mullewa. Found this one this arvo at 13:55. Found it so easily that I wonder how I missed it last time. Better head-space I suppose. Container was full of water, but luckily ziploc bag had protected the logbook. TNLNSL, TFTC WanAus.

Four and a half years later we turn our frown upside down. We used the same coordinates as we did then. Thanks WanAus we like these LKA caches even if it is 5pm and still 41degrees.

Taking Arnie's Mystery Geocoin around the district before sending it on its way.

Found the grave, Reg. No. was a bit hard to read and checked Australian Archives to confirm. Checked death date and did the conversion. Searched and searched and searched (lots of flies tried to help) but couldn't find anything. Oh well BLNT

First geocaching find

Some very old graves here, so amazing to see all the headstones which seems to differ from region to region. The correct headstone was located fairly quick, we solved the puzzle and found the cache at the new GZ. TFTC WanderingAus.

We haven't been doing too well with the multis lately, so it was a pleasure to find the cache here. So many unmarked graves.

Found whilst out driving around the town prior to heading on our journey. Tftc

Quickly found the info and walked over to the cache. This was also quickly found in the likely spot. TFTC

TFTC

Parked the camper in the shade and headed off for this one while my wife checked out the rest of the cemetery. Coords seemed a little out but eventually spotted the container.
TFTC WanderingAus.

By the way did you know that people living in Dalwallinu can't be buried here.....

Of course they can't, they are not dead yet.

On the way north from Perth to Karijini National Park we stopped at the local caravan park and did this cache in the morning before heading further north.

TFTC and best regards from Germany.

I stopped in with my niece and nephew on the way to the pool in Dalli. Their great grandparents are buried here too so we stopped to see their graves. Thanks for the cache.

Our family has a GPSr but it's pretty basic and we don't really know how to do much with it so we have never done a multicache. While our aunty was visiting, she took us to this cache. We ran around and found the grave and also stopped to visit our great grandparents who are buried here. Thanks for the cache.

Heading north for a weekend and called in to find this cache on the way up.

Found the cache without problems after doing the calculations.

Thanks WanderingAus for the cache.

found it with my niece Shuz6611 This one was easy Thank you Wanderingaus

TFTC Found with granny smith 1947 Shaz6611

Visiting W.A. Found first cache for the state, great find cheers.

On holidays with my family... My little brother found this one! TFTC WanderingAus

With Dalwallinu our chosen stay for the night, we decided to track this one down before sunset . We parked the van as close to gz as we could, and set about gathering the required info . It wasn't long before we had some credible co-ords, and after a short hike, we had GZ in site.
Dm09 had taken control of the GPSr, and was leading us in a likely direction, but as we searched around, it was Master 2 who eventually led us to victory All ok and dry with this one .... TFTC WanderingAus

Having Sunday off from seeding we decided to go for a drive and collect a few caches. Our GPSr was playing up a bit but finally got to the right spot and found the cache. SL TNLN TFTC

it was a bit spooky doing this one at night. mrs crump was not happy especially when we disturbed the wildlife. tftc

Once the GPS settled down it was a quick find. Second cache for Sunshinesnow and first for Benno. TFTC.

Didn't get to find the second part of the puzzle due to time restraints. Oh well.

Found with Crazy Lady Lisa after a short stop at the well maintained headstone to collect the required information to work out the final co-ords.
Retrieved the 2 GCs, Thanks for the hunt WanderingAus.

Found with AusTrackers. TFTC.

Tricky to find, the GPS was a bit eratic at this site.

I'd been doing some work in Dalwallinu and was leaving town on the west side of the reserve when I saw the cemetery. I knew there was a LKA in town so decided to find it before continuing my journey. The GPS reading was jumping around a fair bit so in the end I was just searching likely locations when I found the cache. Left a couple of GC's. TFTC.

Wow, it must of been busy here today, we were wondering around looking for the soldier only to find an open grave with the casket with flowers on it - I have never seen this before. As we were leaving the cemetry the shire truck with the backhoe on it to fill it in. RIP. TFTC

Again not a bad location for a LKA with a majestic old eucalypt taking centre stage and a mixed bag of residences ranging from unmarked to elaborate. Once the info was collected we headed off to gz where as been happening a bit on this trip I missed the location on the first sweep and Diane got it on her time around. We then enjoyed the walk back to the car via a different way enjoying reading the plaques.
Thanks again for the cache
