I loved this one my kids liked climbing on the rocks, at the start it was a bit challenging ,but then we found it.

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 74 - Koorda to Moora via Cadoux, Wongan Hills and New Norcia. After a very wet night there were still showers and downpours all day. Each one impacting different parts of the day. There were plenty of roads that were not main roads on today's travels. I ventured to two side areas in the wet and had a great reward. The detour to New Norcia for the Labs there was an amazing experience. I had no idea it was such and architectural surprise. I made my way to Moora and after a few outlying caches in the car, I set up at the local caravan park and headed into town on my eScooter. Plenty of interesting thing to see and do. Amongst the rain I ventured out for an evening drink at a local and than back to the van for dinner. Tomorrow is a tun to the north, maybe it will get warmer > I am not so sure. I expect it will still be wet.After a quick stop at the shop for a morning tea snack, I was out on this mountain of concrete blocks. It took a full lap to get to the right spot, but once there, the cache was found and signed as the rain started again.Thanks for the cache Clarke Adventurers48394.2 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2018 El Dorado Guatavita Compass Rose A#376**Albida**

Dowerin last night, now heading north. A rather average type of day with wind and rain threatening. Rain has kept away here, an interesting location too. This took me a little search but was straightforward in the end when looking at the right spot. Thanks for the cache.

Cheeky spot , but well put, thanks

Found with e.gregory1 during a trip from Adelaide to north-western Western Australia and return. After camping out along the Great Northern Highway last night we continued our travels finding a selection of caches along the way. Stopped here for a short break as we were passing through Cadoux, before heading on our way . Thanks for the cache Clarke Adventurers!

Found on a trip to Western Australia from Adelaide with FeatherWaite. We camped near the Great Northern Highway between Paynes Find and Wubin last night, then continued our journey on a rather circuitous route towards home, finding caches along the way.The cache was found in good order.Thanks Clarke Adventurers for the cache.

Thanks for this one. Found with Caperdoodle 2 on our Wheatbelts wander. First time in Cadoux.

Went for a drive in the wheatbelt with Caperdoodle1. Tftc

Tftc. Remember the quake.
Book a bit damp

The Wongan Blassos visited the remains of the rubble from the earthquake

About to walk away. Turned around and there it was. All a bit soggy

TFTC. Cache needs maintenance as the container is breaking. Sorry I had nothing to replace it.

Out and about doing deliveries. Tftc.

Camping at Pithara speedway overnight we headed off again with the dogs, cat and caravan final destination tonight Mukinbudin of course detouring of the direct route to gather a few smiles. Thanks to the CO’s for placing and maintaining caches.

On our way home from a maintenance run north of Wubin. Taking in the countryside and it’s glory of new green crops and canola gold! A quick stop here and we noted all the fault lines as we came into town from the north side. Quite a disaster site. In its day, Thanks for the hide and history here Clarke Adventures.

After doing a maintenance run we started caching our way home. This was the next one on our hit list. We parked right near gz and started our search, it took a few minutes before we looked in the right spot. We quickly added our names to your log and returned your cache back to its place of hiding. TFTC Clarke Adventures.

An interesting bit of history.
Doing a bunch of LGAs around Western Australia. TFTC

Not too hard to find but a good location.
Spending the next 3 days finding geo caches spinning locations on a map with my girlfriend ????Not too hard to find but a good location.

Out in the Wheatbelt again for the second consecutive weekend. This weekend the plan was to attack a number of towns in the North Eastern Wheatbelt and attend the FOTT event in Minnivale. It was a terrific weekend. Thank you to all the COs involved in providing entertainment this weekend.

Had trouble initially pronouncing Cadoux, but have since learned how to say it! Cheers Clarke Adventurers!

40th find.
A shaking experience.

On my way in a round about fashion ( ok the long way) to BYO marshmallows in minivale. Thought Id leave a day earlier to give me time to head further NW to clean up some green spots on my map.
Nice quick find - good place to stop before turning back towards the camp.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to enjoy

Nice quick find. Out and about on our 3rd day of a nine day adventure TFTC

Off to see the wildflowers and decided to take a diffent route this time which brought us to several new places and also to the lovely town of Cadoux… Cache was soon in hand but we certainly took time to reflect upon how devastating that earthquake would have been and to see this mass of limestone concrete as a result.. Not to mention the other damage it did.. Thanks for bringing us here and having a much needed pit stop and break.. log signed and cache returned as found..

Stopped here for a cuppa on our way home from our Goldfields-Wheatbelt roaming. The logbook was damp. Dried best we could but may need attention. TFTC

Find 8 of 19 on day 4 of our road trip, today transitioning from the rocky goldfields of Mount Magnet through the wheatbelt, finishing in Mukinbudin.

Put all our LGA eggs in one basket and happily made a quick find at an interesting info plaque.

TFTC Clarke Adventurers!

On the way back from a weekend in Kalannie visiting friend. Nice find. Signed as Team Hockey. TFTC!

On the return from Kalannie a quick stop to see the power of mother nature. Thanks from team hockey

On a road trip up to the Mid West. Today, we drove to Dowerin, Cadoux, down to Cunderdin and on to Quairading where we stopped for the night. We enjoyed the variety of hides, particularly those that were placed on or near signs that depicted the history of the area. Thank you to all the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.
Find #4022 for us today.

Well hidden. Good challenge. Thanks for placing it.

On the first day of a weeks holiday just driving around stopping where we feel like it. Thought this one would take a little longer but a quick find, signing duties done and then time to head further east.

Great spot my boy enjoyed finding it. Wish there was more in the area

An easy find. TFTC

Nice quick find here.

TFTC

Quick find..and never thought I'd see Cadoux. can remember feeling the State Library sway when I was there at the time of the earthquake.

With the weather a little cooler we decided the weather was perfect for another road-trip through the wheatbelt... This was our first stop on our tour & Master 8 made the quick find here

TFTC & for showing this spot Clarke Adventurers

Quick find this morning on the way back to Perth, although cache was a little damp, TFTC

We decided to stop at the recreation centre for the night and walked the short distance here to claim this cache. How great is the town to allow RVs to camp here. $5pn pp with use of power, water, toilets & showers. Well done Cadoux.

Found this cold and wet afternoon on my ‘geo detour’ from Kalgoorlie to Perth. Another LGA marked off the list. That’s an earthquake I didn’t know about. Thanks for placing this geo

Took a nice little stroll from the campervan rest area to stretch my legs

We headed out into the country to get away from the weather and collect a few smilies, an 800km return trip which took us to some beautiful and amazing places, happy to say we came up trumps here and drove away with a smilie TFTC

A quick find as I was driving home after a client visit in Beacon

Thanks for the cache Clarke Adventures - all was in good condition

Nice quick find thanks to hint.tftc

Another quick find and another interesting piece of History.
On a little road trip gathering some LGAs.
TFTC Clarke Adventurers this is find # 6902 for us.

Great description

Our trek through the wheat belt of WA continues as we pick up a selection of caches that represent the different LGAs as we go through. It was a hot day today, but the success rate was high, so we were happy to log our achievements along with ilook4geo.
This was an interesting place and the container was soon found amongst the rubble left by the 1979 earthquake. Thank you to Clarke Adventurers for placing this cache and reminding us of what nature can do.

First cache of the day with goingplaces2 as we started out for a fun day of caching. Many thanks to each CO for all the smilies achieved. It was a good day and was very enjoyable.

some work out in koorda. found on way back. tftc sl tnln

Thank !

TFTC Cadoux is a very RVfriendly place.

On a trip down memory lane I remember going to a dance in the hall when I was about 14. Tftc

Day 127 of our 366 day straight challenge. Road trip to Koorda with BradyBunch18.

Final cache before hitting Koorda, had to make a slight detour around a train parked on the road but made a quick find once here. Cache in good condition, log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Another one ticked off the list!!!

Still windy here, but time for lunch

Love finding this one with my little sister

Tftc, first cache of our geocaching adventure. Beautiful little spot.

We had a free day and the weather was perfect so decided on a short caching trip to Koorda. Thanks for the cache Clarke Adventurers we had fun looking for it and learnt a thing or two too.

Found on the way to Kalbarri

Wow, sound bad one... Thanks for shared with me. Thanks for the cache and hunt

With a new GC.com challenge recently published that required the jinta team to find caches in another 21 Western Australia counties, we decided it was time for a big road trip day. Mrs jinta and I packed up the car and headed away from home at about 4.30am with our sights set on a 800+ kilometre round trip going through Cunderdin, Tammin, Kellerberrin, Trayning, Kununoppin, Nungarin, Mukinbudin, Bencubbin, Koorda, Cadoux and then home through Goomalling. It was a fantastic day and we spent about 14 and a half hours tripping around grabbing both GC and GCA caches.

A big shout out to all the CO's whose caches we found, the Wheatbelt was once again a fantastic place to visit and the weather was on our side with the temps maxing out at only 38 degrees.

A nice hide in a cool location. TFTC

Interesting to learn about the earthquake

Day 15 of our Adventure to the northern Goldfields and now in the Wheatbelt. After a quiet night on the farm at Wyalkatchem, we are exploring the surrounding towns.
Bery interesting rubble! I wasn’t in Australia in 1979 but in another earthquake-prone place, NZ.
Good find by megawat60 here! TFTC!

Well it’s now day 15 of our Northern adventure , now more Eastern adventure as we head south of the Great Eastern Hwy with m4yb, Jonathan the camper trailer and Max the GeoUte.
Out for a day in this nice area.
Well I certainly remember where I was and the basic effects of this quake. Readshaw road Duncraig and my very first experience of this type. Interesting pile of rubble, thanks for bringing me here with this cache.
Thanks for the smiley Clarke Adventurers

We stopped here for a coffee and took the opportunity to grab this cache. It had me searching for a while, I couldn't even find the clue but then I spotted it and found the cache soon after. I can vaguely remember when this one hit/
TFTC Clarke Adventurers

A sorry sight of nature

Well hidden! Tftc

To know that my Pop was in the bath during this earthquake makes this geo even better! TFTC

Cool bit of history. Tftc

Great find, well hidden and good trick.

Headed back up to Geraldton for another caching run (third time this year). We started off by picking up as many caches as we could in the wheatbelt on the first day before arriving in Geraldton. The next day we headed up to port Gregory and Kalbarri and the highlight of the day would have to be be the pink lakes in port Gregory. Day 3 saw us caching in Geraldton picking up some we missed last time and clearing up a few of our DNFS here before adding some more DNFS to the list. Day 4 we headed off to mount magnet picking up some caches along the way till we arrived there. I must say the caches in mount magnet were quite tricky to find and it was also a stinking hot day so we didn't get to find all the caches we were hoping to find there. The last day we cached along the coast on the way home. Once again it was stinking hot and we missed doing a lot of the caches we hoped to find plus the flies were driving us crazy but we still got to visit some great places. Most of the caches we looked for we did find and we came across some very sneaky well made cache containers along the way. Thanks to all the CO,s for placing there caches for us and all the other geocachers to find.

Great story.

I distinctly remember what I was doing when this quake happened....cooking cupcakes...life turned to a weird sort of haze and I recall my dad yelling "get outside or under a doorframe"......there were a few small aftershocks and I've always kept this place in my mind. TFTC.

Having a planned wknd away with kyzabra and krabiboy we left perth bright and early at 4.30, this was to be a big first day of finds and klms. Getting towards the end of the day and keen to get somewhere near Bencubbin to camp this was a good quick grab. Interesting place with no doubt alot of history. Tftc

Today was a huge day. 14 hours, 625km, and 27 finds.

This trip out had been a long time in the planning.
Krabiboy and I had hatched a plan and probably changed it about 10 times. dallyho joined us, final plans were set, and off we went

Krabiboy went straight past this and I spotted it. A wrestle ensued and I came out victorious.

Clarke Adventurers - Kyzabra found your cache Rubble Rouser . The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Kyzabra and I have had our eyes on this part of the Wheatbelt for a few months. We were joined by Dallyho and today was the day to head out and make a weekend of it.

We left at 4.30am on Friday and headed off to the northern wheatbelt.

We covered over 600km today, clocking up 29 finds, including 5 archived caches.

Kyzabra found this one in a place I'd already checked.
