Cache was sitting on the ground, I saw the likely spot it was.
Enjoying the drive from Bremer Bay to Margaret River.
Thanks for the hide

WOW! what a gem of a spot and the history is fascinating. Had we know prior to coming here and read the full cache description we would have been better prepared for a picnic lunch. A great spot.
The cache was fully exposed out in the open as we replaced it in the spot we thought best.

31-May-20
Thank you! Day four of my five day somewhat random road trip. The plan for today was to do some roymerc caches, hike Mount Lindsey and make my way north-ish. Found the container at the edge of the puddle in the centre. Wasn't sure where it was supposed to go, so put somewhere that made sense. CO might want to check.
 
04-Apr-20
Happy find by accident!

Did a 2 day trip down south with the hubby to pick up some caches. We picked up our first cache in Narrogin then went to Highbury, Wagin, Dumbleyung, Katanning, Broomhill, Tambellup, Frankland, Pemberton, Bussellton, Dunsbourgh and finishing off in Bunbury. A great 2 days of caching with some great sights to be seen along the way. Thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches.

Last cache for me on my loop trip to Bunbury to pick up some goodies I scored on Gumtree.

Almost drove by this hidden location and was happy to go in, having a read before making a quick find at GZ.

Thanks for the cache fairwaydrivers.

After recently returning back to Perth after my stay was cut short in Albany by a year it was finally time to return. Catching up with old friends, cache maintenance, FTF opportunities And more green dots to convert to smiles lead to a great reason to head back down the highway.

barnzy12 and I had both been planning trips back to Albany and soon realised we had picked the same weekend.(well that's they story the partners are getting)

The drive down was not the quickest due to the intense deviation needed to clear the map however very enjoyable never the less.

All caches were found and replaced in good condition. Thanks to the CO's for bringing me to the great locations that I got to see and drive past.

Happy hunting, Cravo10

West Australia 2016 trip. Day 23. In my travels heading back east I traveled from Manjimup to Just North of Esperence today. Plenty of back roads along the way to avoid going any further south.

Thanks.

Would have driven right past this interesting site if the cache hadn't bought us to it. Some of the watering systems they used were very clever.

TFTC! Have driven past the Frankland turn off many times always wondering what this strangely named place would be like.

Finished work early today and made my way from Albany up the highway and turned off the road to Frankland. Lots of lovely bush/farms/scenery whilst on the road today.

Made three quick finds in town after getting some lunch at the general store.
