Staying at Cheynes Beach for a few days, we headed over to Gull Rock NP for some caching adventures & whilst stopping to find a cache here, I thought I would try my luck & see if this one was still here I searched a couple of other spots first before finding this one in the rather obvious spot!

Relatively quick find here after checking the underside first.

Found this on the 20/12/15 but must of missed it when logging it online so when we seen it without a smiley we double checked it and yes there was our log and card. TFTC
Don't know if in its usual spot as mods being made to building. GPS all over the shop but jagged it anyway ....thank you
We were able to find this one without relying too heavily on the gps, which hasn't been working the best lately. TFTC
Hard because gps couldn't settle but did find it or at least the little cacher did
Quick drive- by grab on the way to Nicklup Orchards.
tB not sighted - appears to have been picked up back in November last year

4th dancing around the halls today. Love the concept and hope to complete this series soon. TFTC
4th one of the series found today. Really enjoying them, hope to be able finish them all before flying back to NZ. TFTC.
I gotta find a better way to put these back, ouchy shoulder! TFTH, off to find 2 others close by!
Couldn't remember if we had done this one while on the road, had the coords so dropped by and found it again - and bumped my head again... I had done it before! Took TB and went on our merry way
Found this one whilst out chasing WA Explorers. Quick find here today. Dropped off a trackable to continue it's journey. Thanks Jaydreams
TFTC found whilst out and about around Albany. Thanks. Have found a few of these round the halls series.
Nice quick find at another hall. No one about so had the area to ourselves. TFTC
Found along with Allinaday. Another of the halls series completed. Still have a few to go. Cache was on the ground so we placed it back where we thought it should have been. TFTC
Headed south for a relaxing road trip with the Western Patrol Club and a mate. We stayed at Cheynes Beach before heading across to West Cape Howe and then into the Stirling Ranges for our last few nights. Beautiful coast line, awesome hills, great fishing, and some good 4wding. Gotta love this state of ours.
Quick grab as we made a lunch stop. TFTC

Traveled down to Albany and the Stirling ranges area with a mate at Easter, did this cache as part of a whole heap. Great way to see the fantastic areas on show. Good to see some really interesting areas hidden away.

After a DNF last time due being muggled it was good to locate and finally sign the log. TFTH
DNF for me here. IPhone indicated 6m under the structure, had a good look under the building but couldn't find it. Will be back next time I'm out this way.
Perfect timing after a newly replaced cache made the find quickly and say on the steps of the hall enjoying a beautiful salad (thanks mum) and enjoying the serenity..
Thanks for the cache

Another of the halls series found.
Thought this would be a nice spot to have a spot of lunch before heading off to our next geocaching destination.

So glad you replaced this cache as I live not far away and have wanted to find it since I started a few weeks ago. TFTC
The cache has been replaced, so, all go again for those that were unfortunate in the last month or so. Apologies for delay, and fingers crossed for no more Muggling. Good luck!
Searching few minutes, maybe the cache is not anymore there...maybe a visit will be need
Searched for an hour or so today....no luck at all. It might need to be checked on as no one has found it for a while.
My 3Rd DNF for the morning. I think there is a problem with traditional caches in Albany as they seem to be dissapearing.
Scratched around a bit but could not find this one
Thanks anyhow

Geo-hubby got agile and found this one while geo-pp decided that the swarming bees looked a little too angry.
Visiting from the UK with my brother, found on the way back from the Noisy Scrub bird site. Thanks for the hide.
walked round and round and thought where the hek is it,then all of a sudden!!! tftc
must have been blind for the first 5 mins

Return visit, taking a tour of the area with six junior geocachers. This was the seventh and final successful find for the day. We also dropped by the Upper Kalgan Hall, only to discover that it's currently under major repairs, so presumably that cache is presently disabled. Thanks for this series.
Found it on the way home after completing the caches along the Luke Penn walk. A quick find. TFTC
We have done three or four in the series now so glad to add another smiley to our score.
Fun place and a great series. I added some things to it as it was low on swappables.
Well our visit to Albany was drawing to a close today, so a lazy start to the morning was the order of the day! Finally making our exit from the apartment we realised the weather had set in. We were off for a rainy caching day.
Quick find here on our travels dodging the rain. Picked up 2 TB's here.

Had better luck here than we did at Boxwood hill in the rain.

The second Hall for the day - we really love this concept! Nice to learn some of the history, and try to imagine what these places must have been like in yesteryear. As a bonus, we discovered that the toilet facility here is open, so that's a tip that might come in handy for other geocachers desperate for a wee break! Fairly straight forward find, and a nice little hiding spot. TFTC.
A few too many memories of this hall!!! The main dance memory here is watching a local lad (aged around 55 at the time) doing Russian Cossack style dancing while the whole hall clapped in time and cheered. I think we were supposed to be jiving or quickstepping or something: it definitely wasn't listed as a Cossack dance.
Nice hide - thanks Jaydreams

The last of the four “around the halls” for the day. Easy find, no locals or events on at the hall in the late afternoon. A pleasant drive into town admiring a wonderful pink sunset interrupted by two of our national coat of arms who appeared out of nowhere at the entrance of the Grammar school. An unfortunate end to a great day, car without a mark (thanks to a sturdy roobar), but one less of the growing population opposite the school!
Last time here was at a friends wedding, so far too many people to even have a look - well for us, anyway... I see 50-50 did a find that night despite the crowd

We again pulled up to find an empty car park and commented on how much more maintained this hall is than most of the others we have visited in this series and that they all seem to have fire brigades right near them. Our GPSr again led us straight to gz and the much larger cache was in hand after a brief search
We took the 2 trackables
Thanks again for` the cache

A very wet day in Albany , thought it would be good to do some geocaches that were close to where I could park. Still got fairly damp tho.

Second cache for the day. Still early enought to feel the cool morning air in my face as I cycled along. Lovely spot just to stop and listen the the locals at work, motor bike, tractor, dog barking and kids laughing. Bet the hall has a few tales to tell. Dropped off TB which has travelled quite some miles from another continent. TFTC
Well what we had hoped would be a great day of fishing was a complete disaster so decided to finish off the day with a couple of caches in the hall series. What a great series this is. Last time we were at this hall it was a quiz night and we won a trailer load of cow poo

Found on a quite day of Geocaching following the frenzy of the past few days. TFTC
