A perfect sunny day to find a few more caches around the south side of Bunbury.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good quick finds.
The clue was a big help, approx. 23m from my GZ. Better coords are 595 & 749.

Out for another day of caching, south of Bunbury with Ian and Penny.
We visited some interesting places, with a good variety of hides.
GPS had us some distance from where we needed to be for this one,
but we eventually figured it out and found the cache.
Many thanks for the cache, jeff mcdougall.

This was our 16th cache find in a caching run of 29 Finds & 5 DNFs today.
We found it at 11:50 so this now makes our total find count 7789.

Another day out caching with The Drovers. We started quite early in an attempt to beat the heat and had a reasonably successful cache run before heat and hunger heat made is retire back to camp for a late lunch.

Coordinate Accuracy: Poor (Around 23 metres.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks jeff mcdougall for the hunt today.

Cafinator and I were off hunting again after work. We were looking under the tree when a helpful worker came and asked Cafinator if we were looking for that geothing and as she suggested where to look, I found it thanks to the hint given in the details. This one could have been difficult to find without the hint. TFTC
What a lovely shady place, I did not know this place was here. The trees were playing havoc with our phones, so Goldie52 and I discussed the likely hiding places when a nice muggle worker came over and asked if we were there for the "geothingy"... "its over there"... I was still admiring the area when I heard "found it!" I should stop getting so distracted! Thanks for bringing us here, I would not have otherwise
My second attempt but found it finally. The co ordinaries are bout 25 m off but from recent logs I worked it out .but it was well hidden and a good challenge. Ty!!
Thought I'd finally attempt this one with no one around. Glad had read the previous logs. Got out of car and had this one in hand in less than a minute . Thought it would've been hard, wish all the others today were this easy. Was my last find for the day
Thanks Jeff
Thanks Jeff
Quick find here despite the number being well off. The hidy hole had become clogged with bolders so we removed them so that the cache now sits where originally intended.

Very clever, but the coordinates seem to be off as we were on top of it, yet still 20m away according to the GPS
This one is awesome, have never seen one so involved... TFTC.. Although I think the coordinates are out, I was standing on the cache and it told me I was 24 mts away
Out for a day of caching in Bunbury area with OOH YEH...
Quick find as I read the hint. GPS wasn't playing nice and wanted to take me inside the fenced area.
Well done on the camo jeff but your hiding place requires a little maintenance as the cache isn't sitting nicely. Loved the trees.....I have a few Ficus that are quite old but thankfully are in pots!

Decided to have a day of geocaching with skippy 46 so we thought we would head back down to bunbury again and also pick up some caches we missed the last time on the way down and on the way back. Parked right next to GZ and it was a quick find TFTC
Geoson made this find, but I doubt we would have found it going on the coords alone as the GPS was telling us GZ was quite a ways off from where the cache was found. Lots of muggle activity around today, but don't think anybody noticed what we were up to. TFTC
We had just started searching when Jeff arrived in his truck and gave us a BIG hint and soon after the cache was in hand

After finding the nearby Black Beauty, this cache was only a couple of hundred of metres away....except it took about 2km of riding to get to! Well worth the ride to find this great camo cache. My GZ was 24m away which is a bit of a worry. I did take updated coords but accidently typed over them at a later multi. Thanks for the cache jeff mcdougall.
Finally find the cache - the coordinate take me to lawn and garden shop eeekk... come back and read comment and hint... it help me to find the cache... Excellent hide spot. Also interesting about history of trees so beautiful plus shadow as well... Signed the log. Thanks Jeff McDougall..
It was nice to meet Macca at this cache. No, not the Macca of Australia All Over fame, but the Macca of Twin Trees fame.
My GPSr wanted me inside the fence at two twin tree looking candidates on that side fence. Noooooooo.
Macca appeared on Q and talked to me about the error of my ways. A quick find resulted after a little shove in the correct direction. I'm not sure if it was me or the birds playing up here. Either way it was a great mini-event (pic). Will they let Macca out?
Thanks to jeff mcdougall and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Found with wot.
After searching the obvious spots, I surprisingly came across the cache without even having to read the hint!
Nice camo!

This area has very recently been mulched. Me thinks the cache has gone to landscaping heaven.
It was more than a bit busy around here when we arrived in the morning, but we located the hide, signed the log, and were off before anyone was the wiser.
Nice trees.
Thanks, Robmc.

A couple of unique trees to find in such an industrial zone.
Of course you can park close but you must then find it undetected which we did.
Clever method of hiding this one.
thanks

We were on our way home from a week down South and decided to pick up a few more 'quickies' on the way home. Did a bit of maintenance here. All okay now we hope. TFTC jeffmcdougall
Hadn't even got the co ordinates in the etrex and geo wife was already asking for the pen to log it. That geo wife of mine is a real gold mine...
WanderingAus wandered by, meandering from Donnybrook to Bunbury after spending the night at Donnybrook Transit Camp, and very quickly found the "Not Here" sign. I was hoping for a GAFF 0 find, so after searching extensively around that tree I moved to the more likedly (to me) "twin trees". That wasn't productive, so I went past GZ to the other tree, which also failed to deliver the goods.
By now I had failed my five minute rule, so I reluctantly read the cache description, which told me what I was looiking for, and I then made a fairly easy GAFF 1 find.
My find No 3544, TNLNSL.

Found GZ and then the 'not here' clue which was amusing. Walked around and around in circles until I heard a voice ask if I was geocaching! turned out to be a member of the team that placed the cache. she pointed me in the right direction. I may have gone dizzy without your help. Nice hide. TFTF
Loved this one. Had us thinking for a few minutes looking here and there but we found it. Good hide and thanks for the 'not here' hint. Signed the log. TFTH & TFTC
What a fantastic cache.. and the 'not here' clue made us laugh out loud. We talked about this one all day.
Thanks for an excellent cache.
Found with Maddmum

We had the co-ords only when we visited this site last night. We thought we had made a mistake writing the co-ords down as the gps was indicating 50 + mts inside the nursery fence line. So home we went to check our data. Found that our co-ords were correct, so read ALL the info about the ficus and the hint (which we hadn't done last night!) etc. Back we went tonight and concentrated on just the information given in the listing and found the very clever camo quickly. Surprised that the previous finders hadn't mentioned the huge discrepancy in the co-ords. You will find the following co-ords more accurate: S33 21.605 E115 39.751 Thanks for the cache - we look forward to more sneaky camo's.
Oh! What a beauty. I didn't read much of the script and just went by coords. which led me astray. I thought I had better go home and check them. Then I noticed one of the distractors and started my search. Congratulation on a great cache. Took GC
FTF Popped up on the screen on the way home from our theatre production rehearsal. Very cold out there but still couldn't say no. Great pair of trees and a very clever hide. As for the decoy - we've seen that somewhere before!! Left a small GC. TFTC
