It’s drowned here. I took a photo of the actual cache if needed but attach a selfie of me at the nearby sign. Thanks for the hide:
On the way to home and detour. Found it and signed the log as EV and thanks for the cache and hunt.
Whilst looking at the app I noticed this cache was just 200 meters from where we were staying. A short walk and using the hint soon had cache in hand. Log was wet so placed a new piece of paper.
TFTC Wasers5 this is find # 11998 for us.

Just before we leave the Great Southern & head home into lockdown we thought we would indulge ourselves with a few more finds. This one had no logbook in it so we added a piece of paper as a makeshift one.TFTC Wasers5
Found but it was full of water, I have replaced it with a new tin and put a new log in

Was going for this one yesterday but the heavens opened. Came back this morning.
Found the cache but container missing so left a mint tin and small paper log. Hope this was ok as it’s a great cache and hate to lose it. Thanks

Thanks clever hide. Enjoying a trek along the rail trail from Collie today.
Our Spidey senses must be developing
We found this one without nearly as much trouble as we should have had

The coordinates put us a long way off but the clue neither siren the possibilities. Much closer to the track than expected.
Thanks.
Thanks.
7927 Stamped by baby&Mrs gopher at 1045.We had visited Darkan back in 2015. The night we stayed there was enough rain to have lots of water in the table drains. This time we are on the final leg of our big drive to WA goes big 2018 from The Rock 2655 NSW. After finding the hide we removed the debris and placed a new container and log sheet in with the golf balls. SL Tnx Wasers5
After a work related trip to Williams came back via Darkan. Found the cache but the log was missing. Went to the car and found a note book to place in the cache
A quick find considering our phones were saying 8m away. No log book in the cache. We've taken a photo should the CO wish to prove we were here.
Went on a road trip with grandma allinaday. We stopped at many places that I had never been before. We saw and admired many different wildflowers and orchids when we were looking for caches. The fields were nice and green, and I loved the yellow canola fields too. It was fun looking for the caches too. TFTC
Bit wet today, so parked closer by and took the shorter walk to the cache location. Great hide. Unfortunately the log book has been very wet and is no longer usable. Previous cacher left some new paper to log finds on. This great cache could do with some TLC, to keep it viable. TFTC. Fav point added.
Nice easy find...as the slog book was out of the cache and damaged by the water. Was out with millhour working when we came across this ( working so no spares etc ) so left a blank page for people to sign as long as it doesn't rain, put the old pad back in the container. Tftc
Decided to do a caching run to Albany and stay overnight and cache on the way home. Our aim was to pick up as many as possible including multi,s and puzzle caches that the hubby had solved. Most caches were found quickly with a few that took a bit of searching to find. A big thanks to all the CO,S for placing the caches for us and everyone else to find.
Found it almost instantly. Great spot, pity we'd had our picnic elsewhere. Oh well.
There were no swappables in the cache, so we left a F1 Car. The log was damp, but signable.

pug002 found it 20/4/2016 on our trip south geocaching. TFTC Wasers5 Fav from us for this.
From where I parked the geomobile, it was a shortish stroll to GZ.
Good picinic spot, with table provided
Now where is the cache ??
It certainly was not on the back of the info sign
Think "If" ... think !!
Er ... no idea
It was while shuffling around reading the cache notes for clues that I tripped over the cache camo
Oh very nice

A neat little hidden treasure we found over the Easter weekend whilst out exploring Lake Towerrinning catching up with friends & checking out the ski area for potential camping trips.
We're always out to have some fun & much laughter is had in this family, but Pete couldn't help himself when dropping his pants & mooning us when crossing back over the bridge!! Small things amuse small minds hey? But, where would we be without laughter. A pretty boring life I imagine.

I am heading down to Albany to attend the WA Caching Turns Fifteen Bash, so I headed off early on Friday morning to make the most of a caching day.
I took the long, winding road and found myself in the area.
Coordinates were pretty good here. I discarded them to start with and upon returning, found the cache right where the GPS stated it should be.

Took longer than it should of ! But we found safe and dry the log has seen better days but it's dry
Another late log for me - as per my usual style. Found this one on the way home from Albany last time, but somehow lost my field notes for the return journey. Rest assured, I did find it though. Not sure that it complies with Groundspeak's guidelines though. Thanks for placing this cache Wasers5.
Good cache easy find thanks. TFTC. Tor and Betsy, the travelling Westies roaming WA at present. We are from Oxenford near the Gold Coast in Queensland and thoroughly enjoying the West.
Muggled. Replaced as best as possible. Needs new notebook. With thanks for the cache from Angus the great GeoWestie and his Carer wo are grey (and white) nomads currently travelling in, and enjoying, WA.
Log book is a bit soggy so we couldn't log out find. It may need to be replaced.
Think we took the wrong way to this one but got there in the end.
Jinta29 and I packed the swags and headed down south for a couple of days. We had a plan to grab some caches and this was one of them.

We took the long route to this one and ended up bush bashing for about 90 m . Nice hide here though
Kyzabra and I were evicted by our respective loved ones and told to head off for a day or so. Well, how could we ever turn down an offer like that! We packed up the swags, some food and headed down this way for a bit of adventure.
Gotta love geo road-trips and i look forward to doing more exploring around this area.

Enjoying our weekend away in Collie. SL TFTC Wasers5

In town for a surprise visit with a dear friend and decided to pick up a few caches. She found this one first! I put that down to not knowing how cachers in Darkan hide caches. TFTC
Camped at Boddington overnight and left the cat in the van today again whilst we headed from Boddington to Williams then across to Darkan for some smilies.
This was on our list so we parked in King street and Mr Felix walked to GZ. Took a little while to find the cache but the TB was not in the cache

I found this one with Mum & Dad (jasenjanine) on our Christmas holidays .... TFTC Wasers5
Heading to Albany on Day 1 of our holidays, finding some caches along the way... We found the track to this one & were very happy to be able to drive right up to GZ Luckily I had read some logs on the way & we knew to look about 5m away The cleverly hidden cache was indeed found about that far away although we were looking for too long in the wrong spots... TFTC Wasers5 We enjoyed finding this cache, we have something similar ourselves!
Early morning set off from home base with iluvtrekking. Bit of criss-crossing for us picking up odd caches here and there. Nice hide although cache located 7 mts from where gps led us. Thanks Wasers5
Nice hide Wasers5 and a quick find even though our GPS was pointing us to a location roughly 5mts away.
A nice walk up to cache. Took a couple of minutes to find and we didn't stub any toes either .
Some nice size blocks of land for sale up here.
Find 10/18 for the day

A great quality cache in a great location. Found on our way from Bunbury to Esperance for a few days. We can recommend the nearby café where we stopped for a cuppa and a freshly baked muffin. TFTC Giving a favourite
My gps was taking me about 7meters away, but with the clue, Mr Geogypsy found the cache. The cache is in need of some weather proofing, I found the cache half full of water. TFTC

TFTC. Out on a 3 day epic adventure traveling the Wandoo trail, York, Beverley, Pingelly, Narrogin, Collie & Bunbury with BarnZy12. (Day 2)
TFTC. Found on a 3-day caching trip with Cravo10 through York, Beverley, Narrogin, Collie & Bunbury to complete the Wandoo Trail & find some country caches.
Took a while to find this one, coords seemes about 10 metres out. It was a lot closer to the path than my GPS showed but we eventually discovered it in the end.

Got too love long weekends!!
Nicely hidden... Hopefully the land sales nearby wont effect the cache. Number 29 for our trip.

FTF at 5:47pm. As this one is a geoneighbour's cache and we new a little about it we didn't want to rush in for a quick find but as no other cachers had come along we figured it was time. Sammo177 (part owner of cache) came with us but wouldn't say anything about its whereabouts. Didn't take long to find though. TN Left ladybird paper clip. Nice walk to the cache even if it was still 34.5 degrees C
