Greetings from Canberra! After finishing our bus ride around the Island, we finished the nearby AL and then came over to take a peek at the cemetery. It was quite interesting to see that so many gravestones had no name currently against them. Recorded the numbers correctly but initially made a mistake with the maths, putting us in a location that we quickly figured was incorrect. At the correct coords, it still took a few minutes to find, my phone GPS had us a few metres off. As mentioned, there are 2 containers at present, we signed the bigger one. TFTC!

Quickly found the information needed. And worked out where GZ was. Neat hide. Thanks for bringing us here and creating the cache.

Found by the foragers

We have done a few of the LKA around the state and it was cool to add this one to the list. We worked out the numbers and did our maths and soon had the cache in hand after a brief search. We signed your log and returned your cache back to where it lives. TFTC richlink.

After a gap of about 30 years axell33 and I were visiting the island and showing off our great places to friends visiting from the US! We ducked off to grab this one and after working it out we had cache in hand after a short search. Thanks for this interesting multi richlink.

I'm over here for the day with the neighbour and wandering around to find whatever caches I can in the time we have. No set plans. This was an easy cache to find once the puzzle was solved.

Quick find. TFTC

Excellent multi to solve...no ambiguity, nice. But, then the fun starts. There are two bisons in one tree and a container in another...shall we sign them all? There is no longer a container in the cypress but still two in the cedar, take your pick. Whatever, it was a good multi, thank you.

Found 3 containers here. One in cypress placed by Baduu, left of the path. That log has been transferred to the hanging one/two bisons. Thanks for the multi, richlink.#10533

A reasonable easy multi, but we were a bit surprised finding two containers. To be safe we signed both.

TFTC! Ive cycled around Rottnest Island this morning. Had lunch on my return, however the ferry doesnt depart until 4.30pm, so have a bit of time spare and decided to cache. Of course this was a cemetery cache and I live cemetery caches. Thanks for bringing me here and showing me this history sad part of Rottnest Island. At GZ, I jumped, as it looked a bit like something else. Ive never seen a cache container like this before.

TFTC #203 ~~~~~~~~~~~Aloha from Hawaii! Visiting Rotto island, picking up nice caches!Quick find at the cemetery. TFTC!

Very smart hiding thanks

Found! Like these tricky ones, thanks! The bison is no more and the contents are waterlogged. Probably needs some tlc

I was using my compass to get close then Rose found it for us! Beat the rain!

First cache on Rotto (excluding Ad Labs)! The caches final coordinates were computed quickly enough, but finding took a little longer (as is the case with all my Australian caches so far they all seem to take a while). Doubted my coordinates and went to double check, but they were right . Turns out the cache was found on the floor, instead of hanging/not not on the ground as the hint implied. I put it back to a suitable spot so that its off the ground. TFTC and greetings from Singapore!

Thank you. Nice one

In Western Australia for 2 weeks for a holiday with the muggle husband. The coords were the easy park to work out! I started my search and checked about 5 different places. Double checked my coords then circled back to the first place I look where it was. This was my 8th cache on the island. Havent spotted a quokka yet but its still the middle of the day. TFTC, from Queensland. #1515

Thanks for the cache! Found with pineapplegody! From Adelaide!

Goldy is back in Perth with my friend "goldyscacheelf" for some caching, museums, pubs and football.Today we went to Rottnest Island for another Goldy and Sparkie adventure who just so happened to be visiting also!We found the virtual, ad lab, a multi and a few trads around the island.Just what every cacher loves... a group of muggles right around GZ. Funnnnn. They eventually left and we looked.Numbers crunched. Final found. Sparkie find cache. Definitely some sad history on this island.Thanks richlink for this multi cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 4136 on the 5th of May 2024.I appreciate all the CO's who spend time and resources contributing to the Geocaching game board.Shoutout to the reviewers who dedicate time to make sure our game is safe and enjoyable.I look forward to attending GCACHF8 in Sydney in early 2025. Hope to see plenty of people there!

Coordinate is approx 5 metre east of object

We are currently on a eight week holiday which is mostly spent in New Zealand and Australia. However, the first three days were spent in Singapore as a nice break from an otherwise long flight. We had about three weeks in New Zealand which went by too quickly. The remaining five weeks are spent in Australia. Very early this morning we drove from Margaret River to Freemantle. We wanted to visit Rottnest Island and since we are leaving tomorrow it had to be accomplished today. As it turned out we arrived in time and could book a ferry to Rottnest Island and could return with a ferry of another company. Very happy with the possibility to see Quakkas. We also visited this old cemetary. The needed information was quickly collected and sitting at the picnic tables the coords were calculated. After that we went straight for the cache which was found quickly. Thank you very much for this cache.

During our two-month trip through New Zealand and Australia, we drive to Fremantle today. We leave early because we want to visit Rottnest Island.We'll take some time for this multi cache. A little later the cache was found.**richlink**, thanks for the cache.

Nice Hide!

Fun multi! Sad cemetery. I can only imagine how difficult life was here. Found with socialspectrum. TFTC!

Tftm Last cache before catching the boat. Thanks for placing. Greetings from Scotland

First stop when getting to Rottnest, the cemetery! Cool spot Thankyou

Hallo, thank you for showing the Little cemetary. . TFTC die Krmelmonsters

Nice little cemetry

Interesting cemetery.

Our first geocache on Rottnest Island. We found the information quickly, and had no trouble coming up with coordinates. We found the geocache exactly where we had expected it to be. Greetings from San Francisco and TFTC!

TFTC, log to follow.

My GPS was not working properly but the cemetery was easy to find. Thanks for bringing us to this place.

Ormai la fine delle vacanze si sta avvicinando, fra poco si torna a casa. Come ultima gita stamattina, visto il bellissimo sole che splendeva nel cielo e SENZA vento, abbiamo deciso di venire a visitare Rottnest Island. Sono giorni di festa e sapevamo che ci sarebbe stata molta gente, ma non cos tanta!!Dopo aver gironzolato un po' per l'isola arriviamo a questo triste cimitero carico di storia . Peccato che non venga valorizzato e mantenuto. Troviamo i dati, calcoliamo le coordinate e cerchiamo il finale che purtroppo, dopo 10 minuti di ricerca "entrando" nell'albero, non troviamo. Facciamo un rimpiazzo ad altezza occhi dopo esserci "immersi" di nuovo fra le fronde.Lasciamo un Favorito per le povere anime che qui giacciono.Ciao e grazie ed un saluto all'owner. #11046Now the end of the holidays is approaching, we'll be back home soon. As a last trip this morning, given the beautiful sun shining in the sky and NO wind, we decided to come and visit Rottnest Island. These are festive days and we knew there would be a lot of people, but not that many!!After wandering around the island for a bit we arrive at this sad cemetery full of history. It's a shame that it isn't valued and maintained.We find the data, calculate the coordinates and look for the ending which unfortunately, after 10 minutes of searching by "entering" the tree, we do not find. We make a replacement at eye level after having "immersed ourselves" among the foliage again.Let us leave a Favorite for the poor souls who lie here.Hello and thank you and greetings to the owner. #11046

Not found for the second Time.

Thanks

Did the calculations then retreated to a quiet spot to enter the coordinates- only to find ourselves 3m from the cache! Very busy on the island today but no one else even glancing at the cemetery.

Found with ObnoxiousSpaceCat, took us a couple of minutes to locate the cache but soon had it. Nice wee cemetery, TFTC!

Found with Gummi_Venus. Took a minute to spot the cache. Enjoyed the local history here. Saw my first quokka just as we left!

Nice and quick to solve, took a moment to find the cache though, thank you!

I've always loved visiting this cemetery. I remember going to the "Ghosts, Mysteries and Legends" tour here as a kid on school holidays. Mum was a volunteer guide here in her last years and Rottnest has always been such a huge part of my life. Thanks for the cache ... we found it quite quickly after brushing aside some cobwebs and sticking my head inside. Great little spot. Left a TB and a duck and took a penny. Thanks for the cache, for your efforts and bringing me back to reminisce.

My husband and i and muggle friends are visiting from Brisbane. Today we hired electric bikes to travel around and it was fantastic. With a few big hills the bikes made easy work and the 30 km or so we rode felt easy. We got the 9.30 ferry and returned on the 4.30 ferry and spent around 4 hours riding with a stop for lunch and a drink at Rottnest Island Hotel at the end. We had such a great day and thank you for placing these caches on the island for us to enjoy.interesting place for a multi and nice hide.

#7456Day 10 in WA involved a trip to Rottnest Island. We tried to pick the least windy day as we aimed to cycle around the island. After picking up our eBikes, we set off in a clockwise direction. While there was no wind to speak of, we did encounter intermittent drizzle until we got to the west end. From there on, it was beautiful sunshine and quite warm.After lunch, it was time to head out again to explore the northern area of the island. Had just enough time for one more before returning the bikes and catching the ferry back to Fremantle.Info quickly gathered and calculations done. Focused on two main areas before finding the prize nicely nestled away in a shady spot.TFTC richlink

Geohubby was prepared to get it. Tftc

After all the frustration with micro and nano caches in Perth, geocaching at Rottnest Island was a delight .Thanks for sharing this tiny cemetery, TFTC.

Visiting from Brisbane with T-Tech. Today we are heading to Rottnest Island Tick that off the Bucket List! We hired electric bikes and spent 6 hours riding the length and breadth of the island, travelling 50kms, seeing the sights and gathering caches. This one was solved online at home. We had to be discreet in our search as a couple of folk were there, but we had no trouble making the find. It's a great hiding spot. TFTC, richlink.

Over from Brisbane on the east coast visiting family Rottnest Is today today [^] Electric bikes are the go!! Clocked up 50Ks [^]Nice easy find at GZ, just had to stick ones head in TFTC richlink

Too hard

#5799Out for a day trip to Rottnest Island. I went in search for this cache and soon located it. Love the quokkas. They are very friendly around the shopping area.

After doing the island bus tour and then lunch I had some time to spare so came up to the cemetery to look for this multi, gathered what I needed and put it into my gps and didn't have far to go.
Looked for a while without luck and then contacted a previous finder for a clue, soon had the cache, thanks for bringing me here for the history of this place and

TFTC

Forgot to bring a pen - fun cache - took a bit of bravery! ️

Solved it yesterday and came by today to find it, very cool hiding spot and fun easy puzzle

Forgot a pen so emailed a photo of the cache to CO as proof

Thanks for placing this one. Very enjoyable. Found with megsandfin and sbirgert

Great cache. Excellent! With Taryn12826 and megsandfin

Great find!! Enjoyed this one! Thank you. Found with Taryn12826 and Sbirgert

Last day on Rotto. Quick solved the coordinates. TFTC.

Easy to solve, not so easy to find, wasn't looking high enough.
TFTC

Tricky but good

Searched for a little yesterday but it was getting dark so we had to call it with the 5yr old in tow. Came back the next morning between rain showers and turns out it was right where is been looking all along! Doh!
Perfect place, my favourite so far. Can't wait to take Shakes on his next adventure.
Tftc

Nice hide and perfect spot for our trackable to start his adventure! Tffc

Greetings from Singapore! First time visiting rotto with chewyh9 and this was our second and final cache here. Found the coordinates quickly, but needed some dedication for the cache. Chewyh9 said it was higher than he thought. TFTC

Nice simple multi we managed to solve between showers. Tftc

10.49am
Over onto Rottnest Island to fulfil Snickersallan bucket list place to visit. Hired bikes to ride around and this was one of our first stops.

Found the plaque and noted the numbers we needed but our gz didn't seem right. Back to the sign and found our error were once we recalculated gz, cache was found reasonably quickly.
Tftc

Enjoying my first visit to Rottnest Island and joined by patrol14 on a lovely winters day.
Hired a deadly treadle to get us around to several of the caches, and we managed to get half done.

Thank you, richlink, for bringing us to this quaint little cemetery. It's very interesting and a good hide at GZ.

Interesting detour on our morning ride. TNLN TFTC!

The first of several finds on Rottnest Island today. I Did the research at home, then came by to convert it into a smiley. TFTC!

I’m visiting my youngest child (“minifungus”) in Perth and we have come over to Rottnest Island for a few days of relaxing , cycling , hiking , sightseeing, breakfasting ️ and I have a list of caches to find.
I started on this one yesterday, did the math and searched for ages, coming up empty handed. Logs indicated it shouldn’t be this hard. Checked the math and still no luck.
Today with msg to CO my co-ords were wrong so back to the GZ to check my numbers…doh!!! I had written the wrong year…correct co-ords, now to wait for the muggles to leave. Once they left … in I go and yes an easy find.
Thanks to CO for quick responses to me today.
I left a pathtag for next finder.
Thanks for hiding here.

Thanks for hiding here.

Took a while but found it

Quickly had the coords the find took a little longer.

What an adventure. This was my first visit to the island I can now say I have been.
I would not book to travel with sea link again unfortunately. The tide was very high this morning in the river. The boat could not get under the bridge so we were put off at east Fremantle, traveled 10 minutes by coach to the Fremantle wharf were we wait for the 11am transport. I lost about 1:5 hours on the island. Finally arrived and set off on foot the skies were ok, some clouds but looked like it was clearing. I brought a hop on hop off bus ticket but decided to walk the first part. Then between caches south side of Kingston and on quokka duty the skies opened I had a rain coat but was drowned. I caught buses between the other caches then walked again in the afternoon from stop 19.
Today I got 9 caches, a multi and the adventure caches. Not bad at all.
Thank you all for placing the caches.
At the bishop retreat I left a TB.
One of the caches would have been cache 2400.

This was the very end of my one month stay in Australia and my epic road trip from Sydney to Perth. If I could go back in time and replan my visit to Rottnest, I'd make sure I go in the missile of the week, away from school holidays and spend at least one night

I opted for taking the bus which was actually a great Idea because I mostly hiked and only took the bus for longer distances. But one day is just not long enough. So be less like me and plan better.

This cache was the only one for me on the island.

Thanks for a quaint little multi.

Found without incident, tftc

Today we spend the day on Rottnest, after picking up bikes we played 9 holes of golf and met the nice small Quokkas. Then it was time to bike around and just at the end we got to this nice small multi. The numbers was quickly found and the cache was right on spot. Thanks for the and greetings from &

This is only our second successfully found multi ever
Didn’t take too long. Tftc

Last one on Rotto.
The information was gathered quickly and the final calculated conveniently on the bench. Twice
Found the container well.

Came back and finally found with the help of our Canadian adventure buddies.

Found with lindahe today Tftc and greetings from Norway

Solved and found with lillymari. Tftc

Came over for a visit as part of our 40th Anniversary holiday from Sydney and managed to sort out this multi before arriving otherwise I would have never found it!

TFTC

Tftc!! A nice and easy one. Really sad cemetery. So many young lives so long ago

Nice one.

Enjoyed this quiet corner of Rottnest. Greetings from the USA. TFTC.

Hard lives for the people back then. Thanks for the quiz. A quick find once solved. Thx richlink.

Tftc! First multi too!

Found while on a a little getaway tftc

Found and signed!

Off Indian Pacific after three nights, wanted something somewhat more stable, so we opted for a day on Rottnest island. Started the AdLab, but this multi beconned me. Got the numbers, found the cache. Actually found two. Signed both and returned both to hidey hole.

Bunadoorian and I decided to come to Rottnest for the morning. This was our first place to visit and we soon had the answers we required. We sat down and I worked out the calculations to GZ. We made our way to GZ and the cache was revealed. TFTC and for providing this multi for us all to find - richlink.

Grub62 and I were visiting Western Australia, which wasn't complete until we also came to Rottnest Island. To show we had been a few caches were in order. We found the details then Grub62 did the calculations. Walking to the cache was not a problem and it was found in good condition. TFTC.

Really enjoy the LKA’s. Caching and exploring Rottnest with Dat87, TFTC.

Found it with LisaO89 whilst visiting the beautiful Rottnest island. Thanks for the LKA and bringing us here, richlink. TFTC

TFTC!
Left a trackable! ️️️

A lovely day with my partner and a couple of muggles we happen to love. The muggles have never been caching but very happy to tag along and help where they could. After a little hunting around cache was located and log was signed. Cache in good order. TFTC

An Amazing cache for Christmas. Thank you!
Note: GZ was few meters away.
