This cache seems to be missing so will archive it as we no longer live in Esperance.
We had a look for a while last night, came back this morning to get our feet wet and still couldn't find the cache. TFTH goosebumpers
Heading to Red Centre Mega event. Our first stop is Esperance. A few caches need to b done. Love the mini train Tftc
what a bummer, down and out while off the ship - phone playing up but checked the bridge for nothing to many muggles having a barbie around, so gave up
Whilst my wife took the kids to go and have a play I headed off to find some geocaches. Who knew, we met up at this location as we shared waves whilst they rode past as I hunted and eventually found this geocache. Actually, I found two geocaches at this location, with a log book in each. Not sure what was going on there, but I signed both to be sure.
Gardeners have heavily slashed here so I wonder if cache still exists at clickity clack location as can't find!!
One of the two had fallen into the water and all inside soaked. Put back under bridge. Other one in good condition. Great spot.
Catching up with some late logs, therefore this unfortunately is going to be one of 'those logs'. I apologize in advance for the generic log, A combination of limited time and too many to log dictates that a generic log is best. I have enjoyed the hunt and being outdoors in this great country of ours, partaking in a pastime that I thoroughly enjoy. I usually head out by myself, but I thank those that have had the misfortune of my company in some of these ventures.
Thanks goosebumpers for placing this cache.

Found by Mary & David, in convoy with micaparamedic and Alansee, at 1345. Almost a tropical feel, with palm trees and water lilies. A great asset for the locals. Found after a few minutes of searching. Our thanks to goosebumpers.
TFTC! Found during a 6-Day trip from Perth to Kalgoorlie, Esperance and back to Perth via many back roads and country towns. We found a huge number of caches, clocking up nearly 3000km for the entire trip.
The highlights of the trip have been picking up a bunch of old caches in Kalgoorlie and the surrounding towns, placed by some of Western Australia's first geocachers.
We ventured as far north as Leonora in search of our prizes even visiting a large number of ghost towns along the golden outback trail, some of the most amazing places I've seen in my life, see the pics if you want to know more.
During our trips out from Kal we think we visited nearly every gravesite or headstone in the region with the number of caches in and around cemeteries!
We completed a large amount of cache maintenance around the Kal area, with a large number of the older caches suffering with cracked lids, smashed containers, wet logs and alike. We planned to help about a dozen caches with new containers and ran out after the first couple of days. So if you're in the area please help out as best you can.
We also picked up a number of caches in Esperance placed by some of the newest cachers in the state, who seem to have so much passion and energy.
We ventured out to Cape Le Grande and picked up a few of the caches there, not quite being game enough to grab the views of hellfire cache but we grabbed all of the others we paid for our walking that night!
We even had time to place a couple of caches in my Country Cache series so please look out for them on your travels. Thanks to the locals who have kindly agreed to maintain them.
Thanks to all of the Cache owners for placing the caches that we found, hopefully you can place a few more for our next trip
Thanks

Went on a trip from Perth to Kalgoorlie down to Esperance and then back to Perth. Spent 6 days finding, hiding and even maintaining caches along the way.
The majority of caches were found easily and in good condition even some archived ones.
Took a few travel bugs and placed along the way.

This was actually pretty hard! Thanks to one of our girls who wasn't afraid to stick her hands where no one else dared to go! Haha
Yeah !! I had noticed further north in Norseman how BIG the trains get around here
I'm guessing about 2 kilometres long
But I doubted that the trains running along the tracks at GZ would reach those mammoth proportions
It would still hurt it one ran into you though !! [:o]
No danger of trains here this morning ...
... they were not running
And at the other end of the tunnel, under the bridge, I soon found what I was looking for, times two
Yes !! Not one ... but two caches
I signed both logbooks to be sure of the 'smilie'

Found this cache on a windy Esperance evening when no one was about. Didn't have a pen to sign log so will post a pic soon. TFTC
Quick easy find last one for our stay in Esperance, geo daughter loved the tunnel. TFTC/TFTH
Nice hide!!! Found it after around 2 minutes. GPS was not playing nicely. Lookinh forward to hiding a few around the town as my folks cache as well and will maintain for us. TFTC Greatings from Cape Town South Africa
Out caching after work on a trip to Esperance this is one of the caches I found on this windy rainy evening. Not too much trouble was a stretch to reach though. SL TFTC Goosebumbers
This was a quick find for us today. Nice area for a hide. Without the cace we would not have visited this site.
Thanks for the cache goosebumpers

Well you only have to get your feet wet in order to see where the cache is you won't reach it from the water as its still over dry land thankfully it was a warm day and it wouldn't have seemed too odd to be paddling around in the water =) TFTC
Shazzaconnz braved the water on this one only to find it wasn't really necessary. TFTC and the laugh.
Found after grabbing an early morning coffee and a cache or two. This one had me wandering along the track wondering which side to search but a previous log lead me straight to it, thanks goosebumpers for the cache.
