Absolutely the best camp we've had, great bid life, peaceful , plenty of water and then we realise we're camped right beside a cache! Geohubby went for a look and came back sad, geowife went for a look and came back smiling. It's all about geosense ....haha or just plain luck. Cache in good condition, coordinates spot on. Tftc

After checking our the goege I went to find this cache intending to find it quickly. But it turned out much longer than intended. Quite a punish finding a micro in amongst all the rocks! Definitely deserves a higher Difficulty rating with all the previous ones I have found. Thanks for the hunt and hide!

TFTC nice quick find
 
21-Apr-23
After reading all the posts and DNFs we weren’t very hopeful but within a few minutes the fifth rock turned over in the millions we could see and the mini ammo box was in hand. Had morning tea in this lovely spot and will keep it in mind as a camp spot in the future TFTC

Tftc. One of the thousands of rocks!
 
Spent 30 mins looking but just couldn’t get it.
 
26-Dec-21
The cache either got damage in the recent fire or i couldn't find it because the rocks were too hot to handle.
Definitely a beautiful spot

Another trip back home and another caching adventure, happy to say we came up trumps here and walked away with a smiley TFTC

We met a lady at 80 mile that recommended this campgrounds. So decided to stop here the night on the way to Marble Bar. What a beautiful spot. A great bonus to find a cache here. And a micro I'm happy to see TFTC
 
Found whilst camping in the area

After having a swim in the Coongan a little further down stream we decided to head down here and have a look at the Gorge. We weren’t to confident going into this search with the caliber of the last two did not finds. We arrived at gz and I started my search and Leega walked up and said here it is. With astonishment still washing over us we signed your log and returned your cache back to where it hides. What a beautiful spot. It’s always good to do a welfare check on one that hasn’t been found for awhile and happy to say this one is holding up well. TFTC SuperGs

Wow! Found it with axell33. We had been for a swim a bit further along the Coongan River with our other family members who live here, with a good bit of water about, but not too much this trip, we headed over to this one as it was too boggy to get near in January when there was water everywhere and we got flooded in! We had the perfect day. As axell33 said we were not sure this search would be successful so we were both taken aback when I walked up, moved a rock and there it was!! Needless to say we were pretty chuffed and glad that it was still there and not washed away with everything else. A favourite for this one I. This spot from me. Thanks for the cache.

After about 15 minutes, we had to give up.

This cache has been a big bear for us for the last 7 years when we first visited. Having searched for hours up, down and all around, we reluctantly posted a DNF, knowing full well the cache was probably right there in front of us. It always annoyed us that we couldn’t find it, and was the start of a run of DNFs in rock piles. We had decided rock caches were our Cache curse. Today we set up camp nearby and headed off determined to find the elusive cache, spurred on by the notifications we received when anyone found it. Today we again searched up and down and around and around. Decided to have one more look at the logs and realised we’d been looking for something big. With new eyes, it wasn’t long before we found the prize. How cute! Noted the last log was from our good friends Vinesta in June last year so happy to give this log a bit of live. Thanks for the hide SuperGs. A fav point awarded because we can now tick this one off our list.

After our Parisian trip in the first week of the Easter holidays, we (i and my husband Voske1967) went for 3 weeks to the other side of the world to enjoy the friendly atmosphere, food, landscapes and culture of Australia. Of course, geocaches were also searched for and found in Perth, Monkey Mia, Denham, Newman, Port Hedland ... . This trip downunder will stay with us for a long time! It was pretty hot in Australia for the autumn season

TFTC- Great Cache

Drove into Doolena Gap, not sure as to whether we could get our van in. The track was pretty good, so we continued on until we were about 300 meters from the cache. Decided to stop, just in case, and then walked the rest of the way. As we neared the cache location, we realised we could easily have driven in, as there were a number of vans parked around the area. Loads of room and it really was a nice spot to camp. We scrambled up the rocks and searched for a bit, until the cute little cache was unearthed. TFTC and for bringing us to this lovely location.

Got lucky with this one and had it found after checking my first area. Was expecting it to be a bit of a mission with all the rocks around. Love the little ammo tin. TFTC SuperGs!!

Not having much luck this trip in finding the caches.

Took a look around and it was very evident of a major bushfire through the area, perhaps it has claimed the life of this cache.
Whilst here enjoyed the scenery, to my amazement still quite a lot of water around with the wildlife enjoying it immensely.

A quick find while on my way to Pt Hedland from Newman via Marble Bar.
This place has gone down in my 'Little Black Book of Camping Spots' for future reference if I'm ever up here again.

After carefully threading my way through the spinifex, took 5 mins to find the little box. First time I've seen one of these, very cute!
Windy today, and not as much water as I'd seen here before. Great spot to camp but its a bit early for us to stop so onward we go.

Had a great day out today finding lots of caches. Went with GTR Phil 55 and Chan 5456. Miserable day weather wise but what a lovely spot. Was a little difficult to find and nearly gave up but got in the end.

We too turned over many rocks but found the small ammo box. Thanks Kathy
What a wonderful place to come too
The couple camped nearby did wonder what we were doing but we had a chat and they were not really interested but we were in their fire it was nice in this very cold weather.

Gotcha !!! Thanks SuperGs for bringing us to another Super spot. Took a few minutes to find and then talked geocaching to some muggles camped nearby for about an hour even showing them the cache . They are hooked and will buy a handheld at the next opportunity. We then walked up the creek for half an hour before returning for lunch. TNLN TFTC

Thanks, SuperGs.
Very nice ammo box and lovely start of the adventure that turned out to be more than that and took you off to Corruna Downs in the middle of the night.
Thanks heaps for your support!!!

Parked the truck about a kilometer away on the bitumen and walked in through the bush. My iPhone gps was jumping around a lot but made the find after overturning every likely looking rock in a 5m radius. Did glimpse one reptilian tail disappearing into a crevasse.

Caching with the Uddcredibles and it was my pair of eyes that finally (after 20 min.) spied the correct space. I love the container!! Thanks for the FTF. It will be put in a new cache, but you'll have to be patient. Lovely area.
