WanAus 189 - LKA Wagin Wagin, Western Australia, Australia

Gone

Completed the required and arrived at the final GZ to find a bulldozer has been through possibly clearing the bush to increase the size of the cemetery! Poor old Isabel’s grave has been quite disturbed, I hope they fix it, and the cache was nowhere in sight! Think this one needs checking, a shame as we like these LKA caches.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

7923 Stamped by baby&Mrs gopher at 0840. After a pleasant night camped at the local shire caravan park it was a nice early start on the final leg of our big drive to WA goes big 2018. After our stroll looking for information we arrived at gz. The tree that was beside Isabella's resting place has now been grubbed out and moved by machinery about 12 metres south. We managed to find the container in the rubble and placed back where found. The find wasn't what we would expect as a normal hiding place. The cache needs some radical maintenance. SL Tnx WanAus 189

The cache final needs to be looked at and either replaced or archived. Don't think that what is here now is what it was at first.

No luck for me here on this one

After a wander through the cemetery I found the lady from the hint fairly easily. Looked in all the obvious places and some non obvious but no joy. I suspect that the cache is gone. WanderingAus if you would like to contact me I can provide you with the coordinates and photos of where I searched. Thank you for bringing me to this place and for the mini tour.

Had to do a trip into Wagin as we had run out of coffee at our friends farm. So we took a look at what caches were available and saw a possible FTF as well as only 3 other caches so decided to tackle them all - successfully

Worked our way successfully through the way points picking up the clues and soon had a viable set of co-ords for GZ. The cache was simply, but sneakily hidden so took a while t find - but we did .

Thanks for the cache WanderingAus [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry .

This was find # 3 of 3 and 0 today giving us a total cache count of 3458.

Did a bit of pre trip research on this one and came up with some fine looking numbers.

Given the previous log was a DNF I wasnt sure how I was going to go but decided to give it a fly anyway. Took a little bit of a search but got there in the end which was lucky as I was about to make the DNF call on it as well.

Thanks for the cache WanderingAus.

Cheers

Didn't have the clue about Isabella so maybe that would have helped. Seemed logical where we looked, but not a sign of a cache. We could also have been expecting something too easy. Will watch to see what others find as it has been a few months since last find. Still a good stop and walk around, though bitter wind.

Was in Wagin for the ANZAC Service as we have decided to visit places where our relatives signed up for war and join in the service in that town
On the way home now grabbing a few caches. this one was sure hiding from Isabelle and us too but eventually found it tucked away more than we thought it would be

Great to find this cache so close to ANZAC Day. All in good order.

Quick stop on my roadtrip with Mistraluna today. After collecting the required information, gz was quickly located. Cache found quickly and in good condition. tftc sl tnln

** This is a very late log**

The caches I am now logging were ones we found during on a geocaching roadtrip with Eaglette2017 - the mission was to pick up just 5 more LGA caches as well as my geocaching centroid to enable me to qualify for a challenge cache over in Victoria that I visited when over there late last year.

We had an absolute ball on our three days away, visiting many great locations, having lots of laughs and picking up many smileys. I appreciate all the effort each of the cache owners has gone through to create and place each and every hide and I do not for one second take it for granted, I just need to get caught up so I can return to my usual style of individualized logs. Time permitting, I hope to come back to this log and upload pics from the journey and add a personal note.

Thanks for the smiley WanderingAus

Jinta29 and I decided to head out for a couple of days and cross off some more LGAs. This is day 2 after a restful night in Varley.
I grabbed the numbers needed and made a quick find at gz.
I really enjoy these LKAs

I can't wait to catch up with everyone again at
[WA GOES BIG 2017](https://coord.info/GC6TD11) in Rockingham, WA.
Perths big event is on again.
**See you there**.

WanderingAus - Kyzabra found your cache WanAus 189 - LKA Wagin . The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing and maintaining your cache.!

Decided to get muggle to take me on a overnight georoad trip from Bunbury to Wagin via Boyup Brook, Kojonup and Woodanilling and a few little caching destinations along the way

I do enjoy doing a cache at a cemetery but only because I research my family tree and quite often the cemetery I need to find that cache in there is a relative or at least a name I have on my tree who is buried within.
This cemetery is no exception as a distant 1st cousins husband is buried here way back in 1933, he was manager of the Union Bank in town

GPS had me going between items but quickly settled and made it an easy find while getting attacked by mozzies

Found it while taking a break on my trip back home. Nice multi TFTC

Found WanAus 189 - LKA Wagin. On our way to Ravensthorpe Wildflower Festival, we stopped to visit this cache. It is a brilliant multi cache. A favourite point is in order here . SL TFTH WanderingAus.

I was on my way to Kukerin for a weekend of competition's so I grabbed a few caches along the way...

My thanks to jerjerdiv for keeping the cache safe during expansion work.

jerjerdiv has now replaced the cache in it's original spot, so it is good to go again.

Have taken cache temporarily as shire is planning on doing work in cache site. Will place back as soon as possible

Disabling while work underway, will enable when jerjerdiv replaces the cache.

Nice walk
Great to learn some history

This was our 1st time we found a multi find . Good stuff however the flies are a pain !

I love LKA multi's and this one was certainly on my radar for our Sunday Drive in the country.
There was a muggle family there and I wasn't sure if they were visiting someone or just liked to look around cemeteries. They posed no problem to us walking around the cemetery and collecting the required info.
Went back to the car and worked out the numbers needed then put them into the iPhone. It was here that my troubles began as for the life of me it wouldn't give me a new waypoint. Lost count of how many times I tried (forgetting that my real GPS was on the backseat of the car) but eventually worked it out, then walked to my new destination for a very quick find.
Back into the car and we were off to our next cache in town.

TFTC WanderingAus

A good chance to stretch out legs here and a nice multi here too

Geoson and I headed away for a boys trip and stopped by to grab some caches where the caravan would allow! This one was in the list and we soon had our name in the log book.

WanderingAus - jinta29 found your cache WanAus 189 - LKA Wagin on 17/07/2015 12:45 pm. This is my find #3445 and find #5 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Found it. Awesome ebenie

Out for a morning run from the nearby caravan park and made a quick find at this one, the only one left for me in town.
TFTC WanderingAus

Found this one with not too much trouble. Cache was sitting on the ground looked like it had rolled from it's original location. Cache is undamaged and in good condition so we put it back in it's likely location.

TFTC! Out with Cravo10 to cleanup some remaining wandoo caches and some new finds in Katanning. Thanks

On a country drive with barnzy12 heading eventually to Katanning to pick up a few FTF caches and then a maintenance run on the way back to Perth. TFTC

Lest we forget.

TFTC - log was damp, let it dry off in my car and replaced the snap lock bag ❤

Visiting with friends in Wagin and stayed overnight. Nice brisk walk (Brrr it was cold!) through town to the cemetry. It was only then that we realised that we were confronted with a multi and had no paper! Started doing co-ords on a piece of tree bark, then raided a nearby rubbish bin. Once we had all the info required, and it was proved correct, we soon had the cache in hand. TFTC WanderingAus.

This one took a little longer than i wish to say lol
Finally figured it out TFTC

Bit of working out then bam on to it good fun this one for a cemetry

Found this little geo on the way to Wagin for the New Year Burnouts. This is our second attempt at an LKA multi and once again we were pleasantly surprised at how easily we managed it. TFTC

A quick find on a weekend touring the great southern. TFTC

# 4866

Found today after visting some friend in Wagin yesterday evening. Nice little cemetary, all graves found easily and the final as well.

First found since 7 months, but the container and log are still ok.

Thanks for this nice cache and best regards from Germany

Fantastic spot to rest

Interesting to read the various clue plaques that led to this find. Very hot day and Wagin was very busy with Woolarama.

We decided to make our own long weekend this weekend after working the last weekend. We were headinng to camp at Yornanning Dam for the weekend with friends. Then maybe down to Wagin for the Woolarama.

So up this morning 38degrees, not prepared to sit around the campsite so we teamed up with Mezzleowl and headed down to Wagin. The rest of our group were planning on going to the Woolarama but we had other ideas and targeted the caches in the area.

Parked the car at the end of the driveway then walked our way around collecting the required information. We had a little scare onsite when we realised the car wasn't locked! Apparently with all the cars in town for Woolarama they were being targeted by opportunists....

Found the cache in an obvious spot and in the shade too!

TFTC WanderingAus

With two GPS's on the go, it was a fairly quick find, and yes the maths were correct! TFTC.

Generally I'm not too keen on cemetery caches as they can be a tad disrespectful, but this one was well done, and I appreciate that the cache wasn't too close to a grave. TFTC

Thanks Keith for another enjoyable LKA.

Work out the multi - enjoyed myself and search at the GZ - almost give up - sudden find the cache - phew!!! signed the log. Thanks WanAus.

Did the rounds of the waypoints and gathered to required info before making our calculations. A quick find ensued and we were on our way north.

joint find with nerinonickers....Wagin is a very special spot for us

Joint find with stus*crew......Finally figured out how to do multi's with my yellow gadget...WOOT WOOT!....Thanks for the cache....."Go safe"

Interesting cache, caught up with a couple of rellies whilst there. TFTH

Good fun, KILLED an hour!!! It is not DEAD easy to find.

Found at 3.30pm GAFF1. We decided to stay the night at this charming town. The CP was quite neat after a few days of bush camping.
We enjoyed the tour of the cemetery and quickly had the cache in hand. So many ex servicemen around here!
Thanks WanderingAus.

Early morning start to a day travelling and caching. Found all the points OK and then after doing the maths found the cache OK.

Thanks for the cache.

We feel that this will be our last LKA for this trip and indeed it is another very pleasant address. We were surprised by the number of military graves in this cemetery but we were again pleased to see that a few lived to a ripe old age. We roamed around in a beautiful afternoon's sunshine picking up the information and reading other headstones along the way, once all the information was gathered we headed off to gz where we were very happy to find the container
Thanks again WanderingAus for the cache

First to find! All quiet here the day after woolarama! Tftc.
