We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out!
Read some previous logs and . . . . . we're a tipp'n it's a miss'n.
Thanks senn corp for showing us this magnificent little church.

With the last logged find back in September 2016, this cache appears to be in need of owner attention. Perhaps it's time for the CO to disable it until they can check it out please?
**We also note this cache is already carrying a Needs Maintenaince icon!**

Quick stop on my roadtrip with Mistraluna today. Mistraluna had previously found the cache but today there was no luck for us. Shrubs looked very thinned out and some pruning of trees had also taken place.
After more than five years of being taunted and teased by my workmates about geocaching, it was a big surprise when one of them agreed to come on a road trip with me. She needed to get away and I needed to pick up just 5 more LGAs as well as find the cache closest to my centroid to qualify for a challenge cache over in Victoria. My centroid (the centrepoint of all the caches I had found thus far) just happened to be out at Lake King, so a plan was hatched as to how to get out there.
Ironically, my companion didn't realize that she would be going geocaching, and just the day before our scheduled departure, she messaged me with "Oh, no, we aren't going geocaching are we?" I half expected her to bail out at the last minute, but she didn't, and the rest is history. We had an absolute ball. Three days and two nights with many, many kms, lots of smileys, her jumping around squealing each time she found a cache and me having to shush her and remind her not to let the muggles know what we were doing, music and laughter all the way, awesome scenery, great photos, unbelievable memories - so much fun. Thanks to Eaglette2017 for sharing the adventure with me.
We stopped in here to so my companion could check out the church. I remembered there being a cache here ages ago and hoped she might be able to earn a smiley here too. Unforunately, this one was no longer in my gps and the app wouldn't work on her iphone, but we found gave the area I remembered a short search just in case the cache was indeed still there. No luck finding it but was nice to wander around the place, both inside and out, taking a few snaps to remember the visit by.

On our way to Bridgetown after staying in Boddington for a couple of nights, using the back roads. This is a delightful little church and we are pleased that we came this way and had the chance to look at it, and inside. Log is quite damp, but still usable. TFTC
I was on my way to Kukerin for a weekend of competitions so I was talked into travelling this way to clean up some caches that we have missed ......
TFTC and l will come back to visit the old pub in summer

Found on a country drive cache hunt! Found with Peppergirl, Rifus and Lab Mouse. TFTC! Cache was not well hidden, have covered a bit more
TFTC! Had a grand weekend away with Cravo10, mugglewife and ItsKate visiting Albany and just about everywhere in between.
We left Perth on Friday travelling via every known backroad and side road known to the maps and maybe even a few not quite so known! Managed to grab a bunch of caches between Perth and Albany on the western side of the highway including a FTF at Boscabel, yeah Boscawhere?? Never heard of it either.
Got into Albany significantly later than we otherwise should have, but managed to get up early the following day to grab a bunch of caches around frenchmans bay, sand patch near the windfarm and further down towards Nullaki and finally around to Denmark.
Got the car nice and dirty on the back roads near the windfarm much to the delight of mugglewife!! NOT!!
Unfortunately the weather didn't work in our favour as we had planned a trip out to bold head to cleanup all out there followed by some kayaking to pickup the Camp Q adventure trail caches but the stars weren't aligned properly for that. But there's always next trip!!
We got up early the following day and grabbed a few caches around town before heading on the road back to Perth, not just Albany highway but every road east of the highway along all the back routes through cranbrook, tambellup, Katanning, Narrogin, high bury and finally back through Willian's with some side detours on the way!!
Had a great weekend and even managed to sneak in a visit with the inlaws who were more than accomodating. Thanks to all of the COs for the caches and we can't wait to come back soon. Thanks

After recently returning back to Perth after my stay was cut short in Albany by a year it was finally time to return. Catching up with old friends, cache maintenance, FTF opportunities And more green dots to convert to smiles lead to a great reason to head back down the highway.
barnzy12 and I had both been planning trips back to Albany and soon realised we had picked the same weekend.(well that's they story the partners are getting)
The drive down was not the quickest due to the intense deviation needed to clear the map however very enjoyable never the less.
All caches were found and replaced in good condition. Thanks to the CO's for bringing me to the great locations that I got to see and drive past.
Happy hunting, Cravo10

A detour into Quinny brought me face to face with St Boniface [:o]
Wow !! What a lovely olde church
I wandered around for a looky-see before narrowing down GZ and soon finding a cache
TFTC and visit to this place of worship [^]
But there was another place of worship next door that I had noticed too
Hey they have Guinness !!!
Mmmmmm !!
I could worship at this pub a lot, if I lived nearby

A few months ago we made plans with friends to come down this weekend to Denmark and find the legendary roymerc caches.
I left home about midday Friday and stopped past here for a quick search.
After checking the obvious spots, I found it in an easier place.

A beautiful Church to look at and a pleasant surprise to find it unlocked. Found with IQ0. Cache is in good condition. TFTC Senn Corp.
Stopped off here on my way to Margret River. Luckily there were no muggles around and got to the cache quickly. TFTC
Returning after appointment in Perth. Had to take the long way as the Forrest highway was closed due to the Waroona/Yarloop bushfires. This cache gave us an opportunity to stop and take a break in our 5hr trip.
Bush smush! A quick find after reading previous logs. GPS was everywhere but near the GZ. Watch out for the twigs, they can leap out and poke you in the eye! Tftc
Awesome place and awesome pub. Food is great. Except today they had no power Never mind next time. Well worth the drive. Thanks
7th for the day and 24th for our trip. Geosis, geolze, geolad and i headed down to Albany for 3 day stay before heading to Margaret River for New Years. Found after searching all the bushes. Was walking out prepared to DNF when we speed cache under tree. Placed in tree safe and sound. . TFTC ☺
5-day road trip to Albany and Margaret River with geoliz and landkg. #7 for the day. Note: bush mentioned is now a tree after initial creation of cache in 2010! Tfth though.
Don't follow the hint and you will find the cache, there are no bushes but there are a couple of large trees.
We lunched at the pub next door then found the catche at this lovely church tftc

Took a Sunday drive on Mothers Day to find a few caches, this was not one of them. Unfortunately there were Muggles present having a picnic and it was difficult to launce a serious search so we decided to leave it for another day.
I had previously been here on the bike for a look whilst out for a ride one day, before we got into geocaching and wanted to bring the family for a look. It was a shame that we got here a bit late after the sun had gone down, the torchlight did not do the church justice, so we will have to return. The cache was not too hard to find even in the dark and was all in good condition. Thanks senn corp for the hunt today.
Camped at Boddington overnight and left the cat in the van today again whilst we headed from Boddington to Williams then across to Darkan for some smilies.
Decided to tackle these whilst in the area.
The sun was starting to set when we arrived here so GZ was in shade. We attempted a search but it proved ill fated. An awesome church and well worth the visit shame we didn't get a smilie though.
There is mention that the hint no longer applies so we werent really sure where to be looking.

Drove this afternoon from Williams to spend the night in Pinjarra. Great to stop to log this cache on the way. Thanks senn corp.
This took quite a while to find. I read the description and it did not help too much. After walking around in circles for a few minutes I spied something that looked likely and soon had the log signed. TFTC senn corp
On our way back to Mandurah after spending a few days wandering the south west, and made a couple of stops on the way, this one being one of them.
This is a lovely old church, and with the door unlocked was able to have a look around inside as well.
I don't think the hint applies any longer to where the cache is now hidden though.
Thanks for the cache senn corp.

Kyzabra, Rudi63 and I set out on what turned out to be a 12 hour caching run ... departed Kyzabra's residence shortly after 5am and arrived back sometime after 5pm. 75+ logs were signed along the way. Had a few laughs along the way and swapped a few caching stories ... all up an epic and most enjoyable day's caching.
Our aim was to grab all of the 'Australian Bushranger' caches and as many others as we could along the way.
I made the grab here ... the cache was rather exposed ... hopefully it is hidden a little bit better now, though I am wondering whether it is in the correct location ... might have fallen from somewhere. Signed the log. Thanks for the cache senn corp .

Headed out on a day of caching today with Rudi63 and Firnsy. The bushranger series was our primary target and any nearby caches were on the way as well. 12 hours on the road returned 79 logs for me with only 1 DNF. All in all, a great days caching with great company.
Rudi kept us abreast with our history by reading the cache page before arriving at each GZ.
We had finished the series in Williams and were taking a round way back home to pick some more up.
This was one of those. Used the new co-ords. But not the ONLY bush

As mentioned in the log below this cache has moved considerably and is located at:
S 33 02 543
E116 34 086
which is near path leading up to church entrance/porch.

which is near path leading up to church entrance/porch.
We approached GZ and did a thorough search of area, noting that the gardeners had been around tidying up (a lot of mulch pushed under GZ area), and couldn't find anything. Widened the search area and were about to give up when geomum spotted the cache approx 13 metres away from GZ near pathway to church porch. Perhaps a well meaning volunteer gardener put the cache there? Anyway we decided to leave it there at:
S 33 02 543
E116 34 086
so that the CO can put cache back in correct place/have a chat with the gardener/s.
Geomum says this is a lovely Norman/Romanesque church with a lovely square tower and is a nice change from the cookie cutter gothic so favoured by parishes across WA. Although the interior is quite puritan (what no rood screen?) with no stone features or stained glass.
LS TSLS Cache is dry and in good condition. TFTC senn corp

Found Cache in plain view two metres or so away from coordinates. Replaced to coordinates. Tftc!
What a beautiful little church. The stone work looks excellent and very aesthetic. Had a quick peek inside and then a quick search for the cache.
Many thanks for the hide at this historic spot senn corp [^]

10.45 - Visiting from Cairns and enjoying GCaching in WA. Found this one on transit to Albany. Kwikly discovered the treasure. Nice spot for a spot and a cache. Well done. +/-0. T4TC.
Nice easy find lots of stuff to swap Took trackable will send him on his way to the ocean
One up for the Geo-cook, whilst I'm messing with the GPS she's gone straight to it !
What a beautiful old stone building - ripper.

Had been expecting a few muggles to be around at a church being a Sunday and all, but had the place to ourselves. Have driven past this many times and admired the old stonework. Left TB & GC. TFTC.
Been to the next door hotel a couple of times but ashamed to say we hadnt been to the church. Very good to fine it open . Quality swoppables in the cache but we had dropped the geo grandchildren off at school in Boddington (yea!) so didnt disturb the contents!
TNLN, this is one of MrsDockers favourite spots, great to come back and find a cache.
Visible as I approached?
Is that normal or has it been disturbed by the wind?
I hid it a little better.

Found this cache on our first visit to Quindanning. Found it by luck because we forgot to save to coordinates in the GPS!
What a lovely little church. I was surprised to be able to go inside and have a look. Left nothing in the cache but a donation in the church. Thanks.
tftc sl quick find after 4 wheel driving & stopping at the quindanning pub for an ale.
Beautiful Sunday for a motorbike ride with a few mates. Headed up to Quindanning for lunch at the Inn and snuck off while they were eating to make a quick find.
Was still raining as we came into Quindanning, so once again sallied forth with our umbrellas and trusty GPS. Took shelter in the charming little church - very serene place. When we came out, the rain had finally stopped, so we hastily found the cache, signed the log, took stretchy lizard and left purple die/dice. Then off to the Quindanning pub for geobuddy's birthday lunch. Wicked BLT, and chips to die for! TFTC
Called in to this cache with geoson "Trasvi" on our way south to Albany to do the Albany100. The fog was dense all the way from Mandurah and the church had an erie look in the morning mist.
Took a carabun and left one of our stretchy lizards.

One of the joys of caching is stopping at little churches like this and buildings in the country that have a story and history to tell of the early days. An easy find on the way to Mandurah.
Called in on our way to Mandurah for WWFM VIII so that we take the trackable. TFTH
Lovely stone work on this church. Followed by a great meal at the Inn. Took lanyard and left keyring. Thanks senn corp for bringing us to Quindanning.
Another fine church and well worth the visit. Have passed this many times and finally took the time to look inside. TN Left Smiggle lanyard. Dropped TB
Another fine church. Again, have past it many times without ezploring. TN Left smiggle lanyard. TFTC. Dropped TB too.
No muggle activity this afternoon, a quick jump over the fence and the cache was quickly found. A very nice little rural church. SL TNLN TFTH
The Ackermat and family found this one. Lovely church and area, but had to wait until the man collecting his mail left before proceeding. Who would think this would have a muggle around on a Friday.
