Found but unable to sign as it was full of water. Sending pic to CO. TFTC WanderingAus

Nice quick multi and quick find, just we like. Another quick trip into town for supplies and love an easy multi.Thank you WanderingAus for placing and maintaining WanAus 188 - LKA Waroona for us and others to find and enjoy.

Found after crossing the Nullabor and heading down to Esperance and Albany on our way around the SW coast and north to Perth. We camped out near Lake Brockman before meandering up the coast to spend the night at Fremantle. Wandered around the cemetery collecting the clues, did the calculations and headed off for the search. Thanks for the cache WanderinAus!

The geocaching plan of action today for Taurus Six and I was a bit undecided as the weather was also undecided. It kind of looked like it might be a rainy day but on closer inspection looked more like it was just going to be showery. Therefore we decided not to stray too far and rather to focus on a stretch of the South West Highway we had not collected yet being between Waroona and Pinjarra . From there we would then circle back along the Old Bunbury Road meeting back up with the Forrest Highway back to Bunbury. It really was a classic spring day rain , fine , rain , fine , rain , fine. We really should have expected more rainbows however they were not around today. All in all still a good day for geocaching .

This is our first cache find of the day, we always enjoy cemetery caches and multis always add an extra element of interest. It started raining as we arrived so umbrellas were necessary as we collected all the information to solve where the final gz would be. We headed to final coordinates and soon had cache in hand . Thanks for the cache Wandering Aus .

Have completed this over a couple of trips to the cemetery, have not been able to get to all the sites at once due to funerals.
Today I was able to recheck and gather the final bits of information needed and get some good coordinates.
Walked to GZ and after letting the gps settle found the cache quickly.

Thanks WanderingAus for placing WanAus 188 - LKA Waroona for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 13:50 on 8/1/2023.
This is find number 6478 for me.

Signed as MICKS.


Cache in good condition.


This is my 3988 find.
Thank you WanderingAus for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!
(I’m not a geologist I just like puns)

Micks at on the road again for another caching day.
Cache was found in good condition. Thanks for the hide.

Day 1 Heading down to Bunbury for WAGB22, collecting smilies as we go, with only a couple of dnfs . Happy to say that this was one of them .. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining their caches for others to find , tftc

Still on annual leave and a **SWH...** cache gets published in my name - so of course a little road trip is called for Down the freeway, turn off at Harvey and back up the SWH home Once I saw there was a LKA cache on my travels I made sure to stop off here too A hot day to be walking around the cemetery but all info quickly found and the final worked out under the shade of a handy tree. Short walk and I was signing the log. Great stuff - all ok here today, TFTC

A nice simple multi we enjoyed the stroll around the cemetery all in good condition TFTC

TFTC

TFTC

My first ever multi, thank you really enjoyed

Great multi here WanderingAus. I’m happy to have another clue saved.

A couple were cleaning up a grave and we exchanged hello’s. I think they were wondering what I was doing.

TFTC WanderingAus

The plan for the day was to find as many caches in the South West Highway series and nearby caches to complete a challenge we had been working on. At the end of the day we found 38 caches with only one DNF.

Heading home from a visit to Wellington Dam we spent some time in Waroona doing multis and enjoying a delicious lunch at Drakesbrook Pub.
Managed to find a website that allowed us to solve this at home which was just as well as the Cemetery was busy today being Mothers Day.

TFTC WanderingAus this is find #11595 for us.

Heading to Brunswick to pick up my nephew from a cattle judging camp this afternoon. Decided to make the most of the day and drive to clean up as many caches as I could before pickup time. Let’s see how I go! Thanks for placing and maintaining.

Nice cache. Luckily not people around so was pretty easy. Tftc

found today with geomother (coliver66) while out collecting a few more caches.

signed log and returned.

Found today with geo daughter coliver95
we decided to go get a few more caches
Was a good drive
Signed log and returned

Ive been cooped up for 11 days social distancing myself due to being immune compromised during this COVID-19 pandemic. Before I go mad I thought today I would go for a drive not far from home and still stay isolated hunting caches that have not been touched recently and are not near any people. I really enjoy the LKA multis - thanks for taking the time to do this one. Found ( but not at the base of a tree) all in good condition - signed and replaced as found TFTC

We found all graves and afterwards the cache.
TFTC

Great fun! Love this series

Found it. TFTC WanderingAus. Nice quite and relaxing walk here. I should do more of these LKA’s

Woohoo !!! Found it !!!

Ventured out today to continue the hunt smilies.
This one was on the hit list and turned into a find.
I have to venture quite a bit away from home these days as I’ve cleaned up all the caches close to me but it makes the adventure all the more exciting.

TFTC

I think the geospouse has gone mad. Completely lost her caching sense. Couldn’t find an elephant in a chook run. Doesn’t matter as we quickly found all the info and soon had the log signed.
TFTC

Respectful tribute to those who came before us. Thank you

Love LKA multis. All waypoints easily found as was the final. TFTC

Awesome thanks. Nice and dry

A lovely walk around a nice cemetery. TFTC cache safe and sound.

WanderingAus wandered by on a maintenance run, and replaced the container in the same spot with a drab camo'd 500 Ml round screw-top container, with log book, finders cards, pen, two pencils, a pencil sharpener, and a few swaps.

Another LKA to add to our growing list. Nicely done. Just the right amount of travel and a hide in the most logical spot. Log was inside the plastic bag and was saturated so left it out of the bag since the weather is drier and hope it will dry out. Otherwise, great multi. Loved it. TFTC!

Found by Mary & David at 1400. After a Dome lunch, and now a cemetery cache, life is good. This, to Mary, is what caching is all about. Another FP. So amazing to see kangaroo paws growing wild out of the sand all around the cemetery, as well as many other wildflowers. The container had a lot of water in it, which we emptied, but the log book is sodden and we had trouble logging our find. Our thanks to WanderingAus.

What a beautiful little cemetery full of birds and trees. Well maintained gardens line the path. Pretty simple four step multi cache coordinates to graves spot on and collecting the regiment numbers only took a few minutes. Although I think I may have got one number wrong. As I ended up 10 meters from the cache or I found it before the gps caught up. Nice cache cheers

We planned a trip down south with m4yB & Sir Ricard or Megawat, primarily to have a good time but with half an eye out for a few more LGAs for us.....I think they already have them all.
I am trying to collect as many of theses as I can as they remind me of Church Micros in the U.K. TFTC

Off down south with m4yb and the wonderful PP2 team, to grab some caches and L.G.As.

Always love these caches for a rundown of history.


TFTC WanderingAus

Thanks for taking us to this place, learnt a little while finding the cache. Tftc sl tnln.

Todays caching adventure with M4YB was brought to us by the SWH and the towns it travels through from Pinjarra to Cookernup. Most of the finds were quick and easy with a few lovely LKA caches thrown in to get out of the car and have a stroll around the dead centres of a couple of towns. I ended up with 20finds and 1 DNF which gets me even closer to the wonderful 2000 mark.

They can't all be park and grabs and quite often multis are missed when your just caching while getting from A to B. But today A and B were caches so we ventured into the dead centre of town.
Another great Wandering Aus LKA multi here, have done quite a few of them now and love how they pay tribute to our unsung soldiers. After completing the multi and finding the cache we headed back and for the first time I noticed what a strong Italian presence Waroona once had. Its so interesting to see how the sects respected their past loved ones walking through the Catholic and Anglican sections.
Giving this one a fav point because I appreciate the thought and time that goes into these and enjoy LKA caches.
TFTC Wandering Aus

The afternoon's adventure along the South West Highway with WebblyWA continues, and a very enjoyable one it was too.
By now we were ready for a bit of a walk, so off we went to look at the historical graves of the Waroona Cemetery. We gathered the required numbers. Put the resulting coordinates in, and soon after the cache was in hand.
Thanks for this LKA, WanderingAus, I also appreciate the focus on the soldiers who served in the Armed Forces. A fave for all the work setting up this multi.

All coords good and after a bit of a push through the long grass cache found. TFTC

Hi there WanderingAus.

We found your cache **"WanAus 188 - LKA Waroona"** at 10:14:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 14984.

We started the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

We found 23 caches today & DNF'd 0. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Nice way to break up a long drive... Wandering through a cemetery TFTC

Headed out with Skippy 46 for a day of caching down south. The weather was kind to us with only a quick shower on the way down and the same on the way home. After collecting all the info needed we headed to GZ and the cache was quickly found. TFTC WanderingAus

TFTC WanderingAus

I headed on into the cemetery yesterday to find this cache,
and found an ever growing crowd assembling for a burial [:o]

This morning I was back at the slightly larger cemetery to find the cache with not a living soul around

A good stroll around the stones was had before heading to GZ and a quick cache find

TFTC !!

Mr Luna Maya & myself had a lovely day out caching today in beautiful Waroona. Sad to see all of the burnt vegetation however so pretty with all of the new growth & the sun shining
We really enjoyed doing this multi together. SL TFTC / multi WanderingAus - much appreciated

Love puzzles and love LKA. Easy find in the end. TFTC.

Always like the LKA series.TFTC Found a few people we knew that had passed

easy one and nice!..many black cokatoos here!

After staying a couple of nights at lake Brockman, we were on our way home with the caravan in tow.

This was one of a couple we felt confident finding a parking spot at.

We wandered around gathering our clues before heading over to GZ to make a quick find.

WanderingAus I found your cache WanAus 188 - LKA Waroona on 19/07/2015 at 11:08 am. This is my find #3458 and find# 3 today. TFTC.

My first multi has been completed, thanks for the cache, a pencil is left there now
Shortylook

A brave light horseman Rip

Deleted three logs by shortylook, left the first one only.

The last cache in Coolup we have visited twice and could not find it. This cache we have visited twice and found it twice . Arriving at the parking we got a "deja-vu" experience. We have been here before! Walking around the cemetery visiting all the waypoint we were doubting: Did we do this cache before? As soon as we had the final coordinates calculated and approached GZ we had the funny feeling we did this one before indeed! We found the cache without ANY trouble and went through the logbook. YES we found this one already on the 25/02/2013, some 25 months ago. That might also explain the fact that this was the only "non-smiley" we had on the GC map in Waroona and why the cache did NOT show up on my display after loading it into the GPS'r from the laptop. We have not backdated the find but used todays date. TFTC WanderingAus, a double experience, first time in just over 2250 caches!

Out with geo kids and muggle husband, and stopped off to do a few caches, loved this multi, I find cemetery's so interesting. Thank you x

We were in town and could not pass up the opportunity to grab this one we do enjoy these types of caches it did not take too long to grab the coords for the final and we made a quick find once at gz [^] a favourite from us here

WanderingAus - jinta29 found your cache WanAus 188 - LKA Waroona on 2014-11-11 at 9:39 am. This is find #2276 for us! TFTC and thanks for bringing us here.

TFTC! Out for a weekend caching run to Bunbury with Cravo10 and ItsKate to complete the South West Highway trail, some Moneybox caches in Capel and of course as many others along the way. Thanks

Doing the south west highway trail with barnzy12 and itskate today. The weather was amazing and made for a great day. Started at 6am in byford. Signed the logs in a few different variations from full names to first letters and date.

Out with Barnzy12 and Cravo10 on this beautiful Saturday on a long hunt from Byford to Bunbury, what an amazing day. Tftc

Heading to Waroona for the day with my family (jasenjanine) & this was one of the caches we found on our drive ... Thanks WanderingAus

Headed out for the day for a bit of a drive through the countryside we found ourselves out at Waroona for a couple of hours... Of course we had to stop by this lovely old cemetery We had actually been here about a year ago & collected the clues, but ran out of time to make the find... Today, we arrived with our calculated co-ords & Jase had already made the find before I could get the kids from the car

Thanks for another enjoyable LKA WanderingAus [^] Cache was in good condition.

Enjoyed wandering around the cemetery with IQO collecting the required information. Quick find made at the end. Cache was a bit damp. Log book still ok. Thanks for another interesting LKA WanderingAus.

Gypsy Roaming and myself have had a few visits to cemeteries this weekend, always good to slow down and reflect on those who went before.

TFTC. WanderingAus

a lovely little cache in a good spot although cache is getting a bit damp Tftc

Decided to head down to Bunbury for an overnight stay, via the SWH to pick up caches that have appeared since we were last down that way.
Hooray, my second LKA for the day......I am enjoying these so much.
Another cemetery to intrigue me with reading the old gravestones.
Found cache all safe and sound.

TFTH TFTC and thank you for bringing me here WanderingAus

We enjoy these LKA caches, thanks WanderingAus.

Enjoyed wander around the cemetery and work out for final... Signed the log. Thanks WanderingAus.

Already had co ordinates sorted from last visit so it was just a quick one. Container had water in but log was dry, didn't have another container, sorry. TFTC.

A quick find thanks to Dimor. tftc

There was work going on at the cemetery today but fortunately the cache was not near the activity. TFTC

Out on a caching run Bunbury to Waroona with freebkids and TomatoesRule and picking up some caches along the way.

A easy workout of co-ords from home last night which gave a very quick find today .

TFTC

Love visiting cemeteries as it gives me the passion to do more on my family tree.

7046 + 846 = 7892. Back in the West for work again and with some time for Caching !

This was a really nice little Multi. Interesting Waypoints and a quick find at GZ. Now off to the next one.

Thanks WanderingAus ! A Favourite point from me.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Not good at these trapsed around cemetry for about 3 hours got all the answers but ended up empty handed any help appreciated.

Thanks for the tour of The Waroona cemetery. TFTC.

TFTC

Geocaching with friends tftf

Cache was soon uncovered after reading the inscriptions and getting the required numbers
TFTC

Fun series TFTC

Interesting multi...well worth the stop....thanks again WanderingAus

A little wander around the cemetry after staying the night in Waroona. Thanks for the cache WanderingAus.

OUt and about with trevkevred on the SWH again. The series has grown quite a bit since the first ones came out, good to do on a hot day.
A nice little cemetery with quite a number of servicemen by the looks of it.
(and a VERY clean public toilet )
TFTH

Out caching with Me&B always interesting what you learn in the cemetries. TFTC

Nice easy set up. Probably wish they weren't all War graves but interesting to see that they all didn't have the grave stones that soldiers are supposed to have. Tftc tnln

Well this was one of my favourites for our day out in Waroona. I don't think I have ever seen a cemetary where the graves are segregated by religious beliefs. Very strange.
Geokids were facinated by the staues and headstones and showed great respect as they wandered around looking.
We located the respective sights quite easily and soon had all the info we needed to reach our prize. A small hike and a few spider webs and we had the container in hand.

Thanks for a great experience that we would not have had without your cache WanderingAus.

After our last disappointment at Waroona Dam it was great to be able to log a find for this cache! We really enjoyed this one so a favourite point from us!!

All Good, didn't expect it to be where it was.

Great work, thanks for the hide.

Well this one should've been a quick find except for the fact that we didn't bring the gps. We were down here doing a maintenance run on our caches and mr allys angels decided we should grab this one. Solving the clues was easy but finding the cache proved a little hard. We eventually found gz after trying our heaps of aps on the phone. Luckily it was a lovely day so we enjoyed the time in the sun,

i enjoy multis like these. thanks

An enjoyable multi but a bit spooky as the GPS started playing up as soon as we walked into the cemetery. We would walk one way and then it would spin around and have us walking back the other way and kept doing it! Anyway we got there in the end. SL TFTC

On 18 Sep 11 I became aware that the headstone for Robert George Hull had been removed, and I updated the listing to include the appropriate number.

An email from SteKer54 indicates the headstone has been returned with Mrs Hull's details added, so I've now taken the number out.

Thanks for the heads up SteKer54.

Today rudi63 and I headed South for a bit of a caching run. The original plan was to hit Bunbury straight up, but we changed that and decided to clean out some of the South Western Highway first.

A LKA in the area? It is a certainty to be completed. rudi63 and I wandered around gathering the clues before heading off to the final. We both really enjoy these style of caches as you always wonder what these people who are pioneers or war veterans went through in their life

The final was an easy find as well

Thanks for the cache WanderingAus

Cheers

Got to love holidays!. Off with Mr. Wileyclan today to undertake a caching assault on the South Western Highway to Bunbury. A pleasant Summers Day and off we went. [^]

I really enjoy all the LKA caches, and this was no exception. You seem to get a sense of the history of the town as you wander and look at the grave stones. Thanks WanderingAus for bringing us to the remote cemetery. Signed the log, took nothing, left nothing.

Was running out of daylight with this one, and gps was leading us round in circles, then we got rained on too. I was on the verge of chucking a minor tantrum and giving up, but we persevered, and the cache was soon in hand. Contents were very wet so we dried it out as best we could. TNLN. Thanks

Went back with the "spoiler" and found the cache easily.
Had fun walking around the cemetary at 6.00pm with a torch, as it was the only chance I had of finishing off the hunt before I return to Perth.

TFTH and the remaining numbers I needed.

Lin & Jim.

Team Thorny Devil couldn't find the cache because the headstone for Robert George Hull has been removed.

I have updated the listing to include the appropriate number, so for now it's a partial freeby.

Thanks for the good oil Team Thorny Devil.

Happy caching,

Not so much a didn't find it, more of a couldn't find it. The headstone for Robert George Hull has been removed as there is now another family member to be interred with him. A simple cross is now it it's place with the name Betty Hull added to it. The site seems to have been recently disturbed as there are lots of fresh flowers and photos on the site.

Had a nice wander around the cemetery, after the first couple of WP's I could find the headstone before hubby got close enough to tell me the name! I was telling him!
Quickly worked out coords and headed off! Walked straight past it!!
TFTC

Treeoh!

POTATO!!!
