Logs
Searched the area for awhile but no sign of the cache. I think this one is gone unfortunately. Time for the CO to do a welfare check.
Using the hint we probably found the spot, but no (more) cache
The previous log was a DNF really, so it's a year ago now, we suggest the owner check it out

Well 2017 is nearly over, so we must make one last hurrah with a quick road trip south via a number of country towns to our eventual target of Manjimup to bag and tag a number of green dots on the map that have alluded us for far too long. I also had a mini goal to grab the twenty remaining caches to ensure I beat last years total finds of 2554, which we easily knocked off today.
After a good gym session this morning we left from Treeby heading south to Bunbury, where we turned off and made our way towards Manjimup via Bailingup, Kirup, Grimwade, Greenbushes, Bridgetown and a few others along the way.
We weren't sure about grabbing the caches in Gromwade as it looked a bit secluded but were very grateful for the good sized containers and good hides.
Our favourite caches for the day were a number of wandollip wanderer caches which were all very well constructed and deserved the many favourite points that we gave them! Thank you for making caching very interesting especially the school hides and around greenbushes.
We ended up caching in the fading light in Manjimup with 50 or so finds for the day, a huge effort. A few left in town for us to grab tomorow.
Thanks to the local COs for their great caches and we look forward to finding the remainder tomorow.

Moneybox I found your cache The Top Dam Campsite thanks for placing this hide and bringing me to this area.
Nice easy find in beautiful wattle-laden area. Found cache quickly. when opened, it was full of water but logbook was dry. Other loose items were a bit wet. Emptied out the water and rehid cache. Dam was pretty full. Thanks for bringing to this gorgeous location. TFTC.
Our third Grimwade cache find on day one. Cache and container still in good condition.

Found it after a little hunting (Phone had decided that GPS wasn't a 'thing').
The cache was in good order, however, the bag had gone... we signed the log and moseyed on to the next one...
Cheers Moneybox!

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.
Today I was lucky enough to be out and about with some of those friends and we targeted this cache.
Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!

Found the cache easily enough but it was very wet and most of the swaps were past their prime. After removing the rubbish and carefully drying it out the cache was put back together and rehidden again. Thanks Moneybox.
Hooray !!
At last a cache that I could find far 'nuff away from the hoards of Easter campers
Surprisingly hard to spy given its size
I got it eventually

I have been wanting to do the Grimwade caching run for some time now, finally got a chance today and the weather was perfect. TNLN thanks Moneybox
Not that I can really swim but so wanted to jump in since we were all rugged up in out motox clothes.its nice round here. Perfect for our pit bikes.
Found on our weekend away from society and technology, alas there were caches about so not completely technology free TFTC
Really liked all the Grimwade campsite caches. Fun was to find right roads and more fun was of course logging. Thank you - Greetings from Estonian girl!
Good to see this cache back in place and in good order. Thanks Moneybox - hope you are enjoying finding caches while you are away
Lunch break finished, on with the shoes, harness up Rusty and we were off again to find the last couple of caches which are in easy walking distance of where we were camped.
Love the cache box and can honestly say we haven't ever come across one like this before. After signing the log we walked across to the dam which looks like it could do with a bit of a flush out after a long summer but can't that bad as there was a guy swimming his dog there.
Thanks for another great cache Moneybox

Realized how quickly I was running out of school holidays, so headed southwards to do a bit of caching and catch up with old friends along the way. After cleaning up down in Bridgetown, I was in two minds whether to take a detour to these caches or not, but the lure of unfound caches won, and I am glad I made the effort. Great area around here, with lots of campers enjoying the place, but no one at this spot. Quick find here, was hard to miss. Thanks Moneybox
I knew this one would be close to my campsite, but when I turned the GPS on, to be told it was only 60 metres away! To say I went straight over to it would be lying 
Nice and simple, a good way to start the day! TFTC!

We've had this cache disabled because we were told it was missing. I stepped out the side of the bus when we parked and glanced towards the GZ. There was the cache sitting on top of a log about 40m from its original location. The log had been signed by the muggles. We've found a more secure location now as long as its well covered each time.

This is not difficult to find so I guess it's gone. It might take me a while to get out to fix this one.
Rather suspect that this one has been muggled. We tackled it from two different directions on two different occasions (also 31/10/12) and still didn't find the cache! I don't think that we will have missed it if it were still there, so it may need to be checked out? Anyway, thanks for all of these interesting caches in the area.
Couldn't find this one. Looked under all the objects indicated by the hint but no cache.
Nice spot by the dam. An afternoon out for Mother's Day. Didn't need to worry about stealth, the place was empty! TFTC
Camped at Potters Gorge at Wellington Dam for a few days with the misssion of finding a few caches and exploring the area, by Geo Cruiser, Geo bike and if we have to the Geo Foot.
Well the GPSr x 2 were way not happy here, they had us circling for ages before sending us off on separate hunts only to unite at the cache.
No muggles here today, but bet there were plenty last week during school holidays.

Found this one while we were camping here for our District Scouting Competition. Watch where you tread hehe. Dropped Pumpkin geocoin. TFTC
Beautiful day so decided to take a drive over this way to nab the seven caches in the area.There was a car on the other side of the dam that had camped overnight but they weren't interested in what we were up to.
Checked while in Grimwade for the Lewana Rally. Was supprised to have to search for it but found it under a nearby log. It's been relocated to the original spot.
Found! TFTC!
Nice & sunny sunday drive, perfect for geocaching!
Been out to Grimwade a fair bit, never knew there was caches here!
