By ajtmb on 18-Jun-11. Waypoint GC2Z9RE

Lovely little cache near the start of the 90mile straight

Easy park and grab. A truck pulled in while we were there. I wonder what people think when they see me heading off into the scrub. I doubt they think oh look another geocacher. Traveling east to NSW. after holding in WA.

Quick find while having a stretch of the legs, thank you.

First for the morning, thanks for the cache

Taking a couple of months away in the caravan and attending WAGB as part of the tripTFTC SL TB's visited

Quick find. TFTC

A lunch break here, wandered over for this cache which was an easy find and in good order.Timings worked well that heading towards Norseman when a new series of caches were published. We picked up a few the evening before then set up camp. This morning we continued on with a few more *FTF* s on our way into town, fueled, made the phone calls home and head off along the long road east. Plenty of opportunities to stop for caches and juggle the different ALs along the way. Stopped at Mundrabilla for fuel and dinner. Very quiet late at night and a bit of a chat with the local couple working there, amused at our footwear solutions antics. The blowhole along the way, and telegraph station at Eucla were great stops. Crossing into SA and camping on one of the many free camps on the cliff tops overnight. Thanks for your cache.

TFTC great to have stops across the straight road

Gradually making our way back home across the Nullarbor once again. It is quite a beautiful drive and the roads are in very good condition and the occasional cache is a great way to stop and stretch the legs.We pulled into a parking area and then just made a short walk to GZ where we found everything to be safe and dry. We have added our name to the log and now we continue East. Thanks ajtmbDomsky

Tftc. To stretch my legs I went for a 5k run along this stretch of straight road.

Found with O319 on our way east

Found it

After spending a few days in Gawler it was time for to drive my mums (well my car now) from Gawler back to Perth. This was day three travelling from Border Village to Norseman on a 5 day 3,100km adventure. It was very bleak and cold morning and had rained a lot during the night. The temp did get somewhat better later in the day. There are hundreds of signs saying do not drive tired so geocaching helped with that.I proceeded to the border check and as i was prepared with completed paperwork the fine man was suitably impressed and and it took him about 2mins to check my car and a quick chat and i was on my into WA. The border man said that nobody ever turns up with paperwork which impressed him greatly.I trucked on across the beautiful scenery grabbing caches. This was the longest of the 5 days.This cache was a very quick find. Thanks for the cache atjmb

stretch the legs.

An exciting thing happened just after we found this cache... A curve in the road.

#2461 - Visiting the west coast all the way from the east coast, enjoying the wildflowers and everything else that comes our way, including geocaches.

Luckily I had saved a lot of caches going to the west. We didn't have time then, but we had some going east again.

An easy find.
