A change in direction has made me decide that this cache is too far away for maintenance, so it has to go. Thanks to all who have visited.

The trip through the North West of Western Australia continues. Seeing fantastic sights, brilliant views and many wonders. But also managing to grab a cache or two along the way.

Thanks to all the CO for placing the caches.

Cool Thanks Team Red Roo for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 09:17:00. This was my Find 12 for today out of a Total number of 18 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 4757.Big Grin

Took a bit of finding this one! Found it in the end. TFTC
 
17-Jul-19
Easy find. Grabbed some snaps of the line.
 
08-Jul-19
I have performed maintenance on the cache listing rather than the cache. There is no string of DNF's to go by so I assume it is still in place, however the listing needed an update after the recent (2017) upgrade.
 
07-Jul-19
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

No finds in over 8 months, and no sign of any old drum in the vicinity at GZ today, so I sadly couldn't get a smiley on my geo-map to mark the "invisible line" on my geo-map.

Heading “home” from Tom price / Karijini today and made this find with the outside temp reading 41 degrees.

Tonight’s stop is in Canarvon where we arrived around 4.30pm, headed to the mile jetty to walk that at sunset however found it still closed for maintenance 14months later a change of plans and we walked around the foreshore and stopped in at the local pub for the sun to set there.

The cache was in good condition and replaced as found, TFTH TFTC have a Fav point.

Embarking on a 17 day holiday to complete the Wool Wagon and Kingsford Smith Mail Run Pathways with a brief stop at Coral Bay in between Big Grin A total of 4278km in the end
We tried to do the Pathways a few years back but one of the rivers along the way was too high to cross so we didn't do it, now finally we are on our way Big GrinBig Grin

Today's travel is from Coral Bay to Carnarvon. We did a 47km drive up just to get this cache as the last time we drove along this part of NWCH it was pre caching days, as normally we head north via GNH and on the way home we call into either Exmouth or Coral Bay or both like we did last year.

Just down the road we sat and watched a Wedge Tail feeding, it tried to pick up the baby roo but it was too heavy

TFTC Smile Good to have a smiley here and not a green icon though I too should have read earlier logs about the cache being replaced as I couldn't find an oil drum Big Grin

All caches replaced as found
 
27-Jul-18
A slow day with this only being our second find for the day despite having travelled 350 kilometres. Part of this was due to the fact that we travelled this road back in 2012 and part because there are no caches from Paraburdoo to the highway.
When we pulled up there were a couple of muggles in the bush nearby and we thought we may have come across another group of cachers but no, they wandered back across the highway, got in their car and left.
Was just about to give up on this one as I couldn't see any oil drums when I spotted something that had to be a cache hide. Sure enough, there it was. Guess I should have read some previous logs and found out that this one had changed.
Thanks.

Late logging, found on the 10/7, nice easy find, just behind the Dogs.

Nice spot to stretch our legs. Cache is a small white container not next to an oil drum and is not magnetic.
 
09-Jul-18
Heading up north to see how far I can make it, stopping at the event along the way. And what a deserted place here! It was getting a bit late in the day, and there was absolutely no traffic, and the silence was deafening. TFTC!!

Day 3 of The Nothern Adventure with megawat60 and Two + Four. After a peaceful night at Minilya, we proceed northwards.
A good find here, and I did not even trip over the ToC dotted line as I did north of Alice Springs last year. A sellfie with the Team and off we went.

Coordinates changed from:
S 23° 26.418 E 114° 16.762

Coordinates changed to:
S 23° 26.384 E 114° 16.720

Distance from original: 312.8 feet or 95.3 meters.

I called in today with the view of container maintenance and found the cache was now behind a barbed wire fence. While it was easy enough to get to it was still (apparently) on private property, so I have moved the cache with a new container approx 95 mtrs, and now much closer to the road.

Tftc,

Today is day 44 of an adventure that will take me around Australia with a group of trackables as we now head south towards Perth. My caches visited can be tracked by checking out the Key Ring using the code TB4P4C1. The purpose of this note is to visit the trackables travelling with us so that the owners get to learn about this site.

Left from Fortescue River roadhouse this morning and wanted to get ourselves closer to Carnavon but I ran out of puff at Minilya Bridge roadhouse. This cache is now in the middle of a restricted dump site. However given that there was no one about we were able to access the cache. It could be an idea to relocate it sooner rather than later.

As a part of my contribution to helping make the "Easter 2017 Red Centre Experience" GC6825Z a great Event, I will be leaving a card in every cache that is large enough to take it. This card provides a number for a trackable so you can "Discover me". There is also the Web page address "red.ozmega.com.au".
Happy caching.

Found today with Wazza9, hope the road works nearby don't decided to clean up the rubbish. We keep seeing your logs up the coast to Broome. Thanks to Team Red Roo.

On my way North to winter in Onslow. I stopped to pick this one up at 08:45 this morning. Area is heavily worked (Road Works Gravel Dump and surrounded by rubbish. A new rest area is being built directly opposite, Perhaps cache could be re-located when the rest area is finished? TNLNSL, TFTC Red Roo

I'm currently unable to maintain this cache but I *should* be passing by later this year and will upgrade this cache with a new container and a new spot a little further away from here. I hate it when people use the 'bush close by' for a toilet rather than going 50 mtrs or so away - they are just lazy.

The cache is a now a plastic bad under a larger item.... if someone passing has a spare container it might fare better in the elements.
There is a pile of toilet paper right next to the cache as well... some unsuspecting traveller obviously didn't appreciate that they were peeing next to a cache!!

Oops forgot to write that we found it...yesterday with aussiebird37, DJScloud, Skye & Alec. Left smileyface badge, took nothing. Tftc

Found it! Though Had to carefully negotiate between little piles of toilet paper (why are some people so disgusting! Toilet paper & tissues in the outback are my pet hate - don't get me started!) ... Anyway, magnet has definitely lost its power so we placed it as described as best we could. Contemplated staying overnight back further into the gravel pit but decided we could managed another couple of hours on our homeward bound before the light faded. TFTC

Nice quick find as we stretched our legs a bit. Thanks for the hide.
 
Found this morning on our journey to Karratha where we will be living again for a while.

We are surprised to see that this cache hasn't been found since January, don't know why more haven't stopped as it's a really easy find.

All is nice and fresh and dry which was a real big surprise given the amount of rain that has been about up here.

Thanks Team Red Roo for breaking our drive.
