Not there again, time to renew

Unfortunately I have put myself out of action and will not be able to check this cache for a while. I will check and fix as soon as I can.

Will Check soon

DNF

Unfortunately this one didn’t work out for us either, not sure if it’s still there. I felt a good search was put up but no cache to be seen

We search until one of the neighbours popped out to show us where it was. Sadly it appears to no longer be there.

I have driven past these ruins many, many times and did not know what it was so thank you rudi63 for bringing me here and TFTC!

Cache was sitting in the open so I have put a bit of camo over it so not so obvious!

Finally catching up on some logging from caches I found with B12 some time ago.

Very cool spot and appears to be massively under utilised by the city and local residents alike.

Thanks for the history lesson.

Adter conforming thr Cache has gone awol decided to replace it. Still no need to enter ruins to find cache.

Out n about with megawat60 grabbing a few caches pre-WAGB17.
Very interesting ruins but no luck finding a cache today!

Having settled into our lovely accommodation with the gracious PP2 team we set off on our own to grab a few.
No joy for me either. Sad!

Clever hide.
TFTC.

Found it nice hide but damp but dried as best as I could

Finally found in our second attempt. Very sneaky hide. TFTC.

Finally found this one.lots of hard work and patience. Lady next door is a friend of caching and not a muggle. TFTC

Tricky tricky but found eventually! ! Thanks!

Had a pretty good look but woman from near house was keeping an eye on us so we left without finding it.

This was a great, TFTC

Coordinates were pointing inside the ruins, having read the description we scoured around the outside and soon found it.

Coordinates kept wanting me 6 meters in amongst the ruins so I didn't trample them. I was amazed to find such an historic place without any care being taken to preserve it. Thanks for leading me here to observe this.

Me and my mate spent lots of time looking for it but did not have any luck ☹️

Me and my mates looked for this cache for ages but had no luck. ;(

Lovely to find Peelhurst Cottage, an historical gem tucked away.

Site has been fenced off for ongoing roadworks

Found it with Piggy Noise VERY CLEVER

Very sneaky, took a while to find.

Great HISTORY....TFTC

Australia Day w/end adventures in this area & thought we better do some geocaching!
We often come to this area but never cache so this is it.
Thanks for bringing us here.
A little clever hiding spot. We were almost ready to give up as the heat is a killer but GeoDad scored it.

Great hide with a lot of interesting history
Many thanks
TCC

Originally found under family caching name clan - wallace now branching out under own caching name

Why didn't we find this the first time! A good camo but much closer to the ruins than we thought it would be. TFTC. Dropped a TB

Upon our second return this was a quick park n grab thanks to the info in previous logs. This was a little closer to the ruins than we would have liked but a very clever hide. TFTC

GPS consistently indicating the middle of the ruins, but the description specifically said not to go there, so we did not but looked everywhere else with no success.

Ages ago

Damn hard but we got it.

He he. Great hide. It took 8 of us to find it after 30 minutes. Don't think under, think underside

Found it bit tricky

This one was bit tricky

Our first find

Our first geocache =) agreed with some of the other logs, too close to the ruins. In fact might even be considered as part of the ruins? Really great job with concealment though!

Very very clever! Moved that several times before realising LOL
Tftc!

We were here just a year ago with the grandkids and had no luck.
Not so today, we were in the area again, spent a few minutes scrubbing around and were rewarded with a smilie.
TFTC rudi63.

Great hide...love the history. Was a bit concerned that finding the cache may have involved climbing over the structure...glad it didnt

A nice quick find while holidaying with Team 8 Ball, thanks

TFTC. Good history great hide

This was the last find for the afternoon whilst out with geomum which I was so happy about as this was another local cache that I hadn't found on a previous attempt 2 yrs ago. After approx 30 minutes I finally located it

Had to add this one to my favourites - very clever. It was the last stop of the afternoon whilst out with Goedaughter jasali and we nearly gave up, but luckily we didn't - our hot drink just had to wait!

No luck here today

A quick find. Tftc.

Found quickly thank you

Tftc

Hard find but loved iy

Thanks for the cache, great camo.

Down from Geraldton visiting family, enjoyed the history lesson with this one clever hide

sinisterthoughts

Found it

Dragging muggle partner out on a caching run north of home today [^]. Warm weather predicted but no second thought when many caches to find.

Yay found this one after logging a dnf a good few weeks ago . Today all clear with no neighbour to come and see what we were up to.

A quick find with the help of fbaf (facebook a friend ) last night tho I was correct in what I said it was/will be situated.

Doing my family history I love looking at old buildings, etc. They made things to last back in those days

Find 1/31 and 9 dnf today

We did see a 2ft green snake as we were heading back to the car, it slithered straight in front of us. Thankfully the only snake sighted all day

Searched for a bit but ran out of time. Will be back when we don't have a time limit

This was our fifth cache of the day and really thought we were running out of luck as we were reluctant to disturb the ruin. Thankfully we were lucky pretty quickly, nice camp! Took a signal tag, will move it on. Interesting place, TFTC!

Luckily Mr FWD had a better look than Mrs FWD and found it. Left Signal TB. TFTC and interesting history.

Loved the camo off now as it was raining cats and dogs time for a cold one now tftc that was a nice way to finish of the day

What wonderful ruins just a shame I couldn't find the cache. Obviously didn't have my caching eyes on for this one.
Spent way to long here and I was getting annoyed as I had a good few more to find to reach a milestone.
Had the neighbour come and talk to us which held up proceedings.

Another time. thanks

Awesome hide well done

AWESOME!! Loved the location. Very clever

Found by zan'clan

Having a great afternoon with the misses found my first cache

Second visit, and this time found it almost immediately. I still think it would be much safer to have the hide a bit distant from the ruins though, as there is evidence of many stones being moved about.
Thanks for the cache rudi63.

Clever cache.

Didn't know this was here, interesting to think it was where people once lived. Tftc

Sneaky hide this one went past it 3 times before figuring it out

TFTC rudi63. Once again caching has taken us to a place that we would not normally either notice or stop at. Thanks for bringing us here, it's a really nice spot. Had a bite of lunch here and left FTF TB. Signed log.

was lovely find.. I had found before when I had a special someone to share geo hunting with.. just had to come back and enter my own log in

Mmmm. A DNF for us here today.

Awesome find.

So after achieving our 5002nd smilie at a nearby cache with our GeoParents (the cachers who introduced us to caching) Mr Felix was now on his own and supposed to be heading home but you know how that is.... just one more

Well thank goodness he did as Mrs Felix has tried and failed at this one a few times.

Mr Felix walked up and put his hand on the cache straight away! No way how did he do that

TFTC rudi63

Looking forward to meeting other cachers at WA goes BIG in 2013 - GC45X55

We all headed for GZ with a quick find in mind. GPS would not settle and had us pointed in the direction of the middle of the ruins. A scratch of the head and a re read of the hint had us somewhat flummoxed. Geowife soon extended the search and had the cache in hand. TFTC rudi63

7110 + 847 = 7957. Back in the West for work again and with some time for Caching !

Heading back north after finishing the LBH series in Bunbury. After grabbing the nearby LBH I had time for just a couple more - and this was convenient drive by. Taking heed of the COs instruction not to enter the ruins I stood and looked for a minute - then located the cache in the first place I looked. Happy with that ! Now off to the next one.

Thanks rudi63 !! Nicely set up.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Found with geoson used as cover..sneaky hide
Cheeks

Another DNF here ... third time, no joy. Spent a long time and have some ideas about what I'm looking for. TFTH rudi63. I will be back.

Found this one on a nice bicycle ride out with the geoson. Our second visit to try find this cache, and a quick find this time around. Thanks again rudi63 for putting in the effort to make this hide amongst all of your others!

As usual the youngest geokid found it. May the 4th be with you. TFTC

Another hidden piece of history. The tree in the ruins has now been cut down.
TFTH

Loved the history behind this one and would never had known it was here.... Was one of the odd moments where we headed straight for it and found quickly. Thankyou

What a find now need suncream on after spending too long trying to find this sneaky blighter but i found it woo hoo geo hubby will be proud tftc

Great historical location and a quick and easy find. Thanx rudi63.

Back again ... no joy even though I had plenty of time to look today ... my Geo-camry wouldn't start after my first search, so I went back for another search while I waited for the RAC, then had yet another search while I waited for the tow truck. TFTH rudi63 ... I will be back after next finder.

Spent about 10 minutes skirting around the perimeter of the ruins poking prodding and looking under a couple of objects. No joy and GPSr wouldn't settle, so decided to leave it for another time. TFTH rudi63. I will be back

Never knew this was here. Thanks for sharing a piece of local history!

Nice historic spot

A second for the day with TeamWatt! TFTC!

Nice to visit some local history. Thanks ??

Was just about to give up, but thought a once over and re-read the description. Ah-ha. There it is.
Signed the log. Sneaky hide Rudi63. TFTH

Was out caching with my dad (Kyzabra) and found this with him.

I only just activated my premium account so am going back to mark my finds.

Sorry about the late log

We arrived at GZ and Jase found the sneaky little hide in about the second spot he looked A quick sign of the log and we ran back to the car to escape all the flys Yet another spot that we would not of stopped if not for geocaching, thanks for showing us rudi63

TFTC found after geo meet.. good morning... nice folks.

FFTC

On the way home from work and arrived at the park on dusk on a rainy evening. GPSr was a little all over the place but managed to zero in on GZ via the satellite map. Took a while but eventually turned up the cleverly cammoed hide once other options were eliminated.
Mozzies were active even in the cold, damp conditions

Thanks for the cache rudi63 [^]

Nice camouflage. Thanks for the cache!
