Found at 3:00 PM GAFF3.We knew exactly what to look for and I looked in the actual hiding area first up as the co-ords are spot on - but missed it 
That meant another 10 minutes of searching in places where it was not located [B)]Thanks to mackeralsFeedback: Not sure if the cache is supposed to be lying on the ground or hanging up?
That meant another 10 minutes of searching in places where it was not located [B)]Thanks to mackeralsFeedback: Not sure if the cache is supposed to be lying on the ground or hanging up?We camped the night here along with three others.. a good free camp that wasn't soft and boggy after the rain. It was only a short walk to look for the cache except when we got to GZ it was too dark to see anything. Went back to get a torch and soon spotted what we were looking for. Clever... haven't seen a cache done that way before. TFTC mackerals.
We have stopped in here. I decided to head straight over and look for it. Some great camo.Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache
Heading to pinnacles np with emukka and stopped in a few caches on the way, tftc!

We checked banksia cache on the way home from jurien event and unfortunately has gone missing. Will disable until I take up a replacement in a few weeks.
G’day mackerals, unfortunately I wasn’t able to find your cache today (Friday 18/8/2023). Cheers for the hunt anyway!
After a short search I knew what to expect, really cool in this environment. On our way to Nambung Station, thanks for the search, grtz from the Netherlands
This is what GeoCaching is all about, amazing camo, will admit it took longer than expected to find. TFTC
Enjoying our drive through this region. Lots of wildflowers still about for us to admire. Stopped in here and made a quick find of a very crafty camo. Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.
Marble Bar to Baldivis with axell33. Continuing to make our way to the coast we pulled in for this cache. I had been noticing as we drove along how wonderful the banksia flowers had been and in such abundance! Beautiful! Loved the cache here too. Thanks for the cache here.
Caching our way back from Marble Bar we took a detour to grab a few extra smileys. We were targeting another cache but when we got there a road crew had set up at gz so we set our sights on this one. We arrive at the nicely tucked away gz and started our search and after a couple of minutes we had the in hand. Cool camo. We signed your log and returned your cache back to where it lives. Favourite point coming up when I get a fresh batch. TFTC mackerals
We were worried this one might not be here as it had been a while since it was found. Didn’t take too long to find. Great camo and worth a favourite point in recognition. TFTC
Tonight we stayed at this campsite. Since there were people spending the night close to the cache, I decided to look for this one today.
Since we haven’t seen that much interesting caches in Australia yet (after 2 months!), this is probably the most creative I’ve seen. A nice treat for International Geocaching Day you could say! Fave for the cache.
TFTC!

A very nice camo here.
With one more week of my annual leave I was determined to get out and do a bit more geocaching. I still need a few finds for the Mystery at the Museum souvenir challenge and it is always a good day out looking for plastic.
We planned a day trip to Cervantes and the Pinnacles.
mackerals SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache Banksia today at 14:33:12 9 Aug 2019. This brings my find count to 3600
mackerals - Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. We love travelling the state and visiting some places that we would only visit due to this game.

Having three days R n R in Cervantes so thought may as well heading a different route to Jurien so I could grab some caches.
Didn’t take long to find this one and a lovely new log to write on

We went up to Jurien but very busy. Grab a few caches before camping up for the night
TFTC Nice placement

Sadly a DNF here today, we searched for a good 20 minutes to no avail, trees have been broken and chopped and the place has been littered, such a shame to see TFTC
Very excited to reach this one. Everyone stood back to watch Magpie51 search for a milestone find. Here and there, back and forth then a bit too subtle "hint" from GeoL and Magpie51 had it! Great camo and very good construction. A fave point from us.
Nice to share magpie51's milestone find today! 1000!! Yay! Clever cache, blends in well with it's surroundings! We let magpie51 do the honours with a bit of coaxing in the right direction! TFTC a favourite point from us too! 
YEH!!!!! TFTH mackerals I made it, 1000 finds!! My family helped, very discretely, and then finally Geo L (not so discretely!) pointing me in the right direction, in an area I had looked at before and I had a good idea what I was looking for. What a great cache. A FP
This took way longer than it should have. I guessed what I was looking for but even then it took half an hour. Seems I turned over every other one. Thanks for the cache. A favourite.
Another lovely place to stretch your legs.Thanks for dragging us off the highway.
Lovely exploring the outlying areas of Jurien with iluvtrekking. Thanks mackerals
We travelled from Maryborough QLD to WA via NSW, VIC, SA and the Nullarbor towing our home on wheels. Now we are wandering around looking for wildflowers and doing some geocaching along the way. We are staying in Dandaragan for a few days and doing day trips - today was the Pinnacles and Cervantes. Thanks to the COs for these hides.
TFTC! Up for a days caching to Guilderton and further north to grab a whole bunch of caches never attempted or found before.
Was a nice day with good company. Thanks
Was a nice day with good company. Thanks
Actually took awhile-pays to stop looking in the obvious place. Am suprised it hasnt been muggled though. Great idea. TFTC
After spending a few days in Geraldton we headed back to Perth picking up some caches along the way. All caches were found without any problems. TFTC
I didn't know anything about Geocaching and I was just doing a 3months road trip on the West Coast.
We were camping there for the night. I found that little cache by chance without being looking for it. Now I'm back in my country and I want to start geocaching.
That was a lucky evening !

Stayed here for a couple of nights. Had a fire and enjoyed the stars (and of course, the cache)

We know exactly where it is but there were too many muggers around so decided to give it a miss for another day. We'll just have to grab it next time we're here!
A sort of drama again. We found a (part) of the camo and cache, but the lid was gone. As we did not have a replacement lid we replaced the cache with a format container with screwtop and used the same camo. Will email CO with details. TFTC mackerals.
11:03:00 AM. Heading for the coast once again now the cyclone threat has gone. A nice sheltered parking bay and a quick cache. Signed log on a good hide. Thanks mackerals for placing this cache.
Found on way to visit family on farm near Dongara with Nannajoan7. TNLNSL. Thanks.
The caching gods are with me today, the only spots clear from rain is when I arrived at caches. Great cammo, tftc
Unfortunately we found this beautiful hide easily as there were no blooms to distract us today! Nicely disguised, so much more clever than a pile of rocks at the bottom of a tree.
