Back in the area again. Last night looked to see what cache I could find today and read the previous log on this one so thought best to come now and find it
Lovely pond and wildlife enjoying themselves TFTC

That is odd. The willow is gone but the cache survived.

Filling in some caching time while staying with friends in between the stressful moving and house hunting. Tftc sl tnln
DNF out waited the walking muggles and returned after a DNF up the road, found nothing here. Probably in the hollow but I'm not keen on spiders.
Heading south to Busselton for the WA Goes Big Event and doing caches along the way.
Was a quick find here.
Thanks Rach2 for the cache.

Two very curious swans attended the find. The old tree is starting to suffer from the stormy weather I think. Cache was quite visible where a limb has come away.
Just grabbing some caches (GeoKids scored this one) before my big girls night tonight. It's fun caching with heaps of people. It makes it more exciting & competitive!
Thank you
Thank you
Quick cache on the way into town. Reached in with some trepidation as I couldn't see it from the outside.
super easy find but took a super long time to pluck up the courage to retrieve it
Found over lunch hour. Now I also know what a whomping willow is!
Grabbed pathtags. Dropped Honeymooners TB. Thanks, Rach2.

Today we bade farewell to our cabin at the Coogee Caravan Park, and moved into our cabin at the Margaret River Tourist Park.
On the trip down, we managed to make a few finds.
Along the way we found 10 caches of which this was the 7th.
A nice area here, and a good hide.
Pam knew what a Whomping Willow is and I left three of my diferent pathtags.
Thanks for placing this cache Rach2

A perfect sunny winter morning to find a few more caches in Bunbury.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good quick finds.
I didn't know what a Whomping Willow was, but I do now.

Yikes full of spider webs. Found it with my cousins and then we played on the willow tree.
Had to be careful climbing down the bank but after a bit of a look saw it through a hole and soon had in hand. TFTC
Spent the morning caching, around the northern suburbs of Bunbury.
A great day was had, in the company of Ian and Penny.
Lovely area, and a good sized container.
Many thanks for the cache, Rach2.

Out caching with The Drovers again today. We started quite early in an attempt to beat the heat - and by and large it was a successful day.
Thanks for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. For over ten years we have steadily watched the quality of caches get worse and worse. Once upon a time caches seemed to be "regular" sized,and well stocked with goodies for kids to swap. Nowadays it seems like every other cache is small and devoid anything to induce children to enjoy the hunt.

Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Around 2 metres.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks Rach2 for the hunt today.

Out for a nice stroll along the path after work. I can see the dangers of over enthusiastic caching and the water hazard 
Quiet caching to be had here, though tried to make it harder than it actually is and went around a few times before settling and grabbing the cache. TFTC Rach

I remember I was sat in Dunedin, logging Caches, after a busy day at the NZ mega, when the very first alerts started to come through for the SWH series and thought what a great morning out that it would be to complete them all.
Unfortunately the best part of a year has passed since then and the series has quadrupled in size, so the morning out had now turned into an overnighter !
Teamed up with Team Felix and headed South, the weather forecast was shocking, with heavy showers at best and thunderstorms at its worst but with a little good fortune we managed to miss the precipitation.. though we got very damp underfoot !!!
An excellent day out collecting a large variety of different hides.
Team Felix sent me down to the bank as they were a little worried by the water level !!!

We have been hankering to tackle this series since they started being published last year and we were in NZ for the Mega with The Machman. As we often cache with The Machman we agreed there and then that we would tackle this series together, but It has taken 11months for us to organise 2 days away with The Machman to attempt this series and the forecast of storms, lightning and pouring rain was not going to stop us! 
We did however chicken out of camping overnight and have booked a cabin. 
Nearly drove past this one. Hit the skids then walked back to the cache.
Took a bit to find but we got there

Came back today to collect a little giraffe that geokid eyed off yesterday. Left butterfly eraser.
Nice little place to watch some ducks although there weren't many out when we got there today. Quick easy find on a quiet day in this location. Great one to visit to introduce geogirls friend to caching. Took flower hair tie for the new cacher and left little red car. TFTC. SL.
Quick find here. Nice cache container. Surprised that it has not gone missing as quite easily spotted.

Decided to have a day of geocaching with skippy 46 so we thought we would head back down to bunbury again and also pick up some caches we missed the last time on the way down and on the way back. A quick find here TFTC freebkids

Thanks for the hide. Found out in the open so I put back where I thought it should be. Really pretty spot lots of bird life.
It bothers me around this part of town....
Neighborhood watch has worked well in this area while looking around here in the past.....

Was noted that this one was accidently found by Neighbour Hood Watch Boss wishing citizens good luck. A nice gesture. Now obviously knows what people are doing around this cache.
Took car left origami frog that I took from Coober Pedy earlier in the month so it has travelled a distance.

Thx freebkids.Neighbourehood watch, never would have guessed with all those sign's.
Found after a walk from a nearby cache. Admired the swans and enjoyed the walk on a such lovely day.TNLN
Quick find on a days caching with geobuddy. Had recently visited this area to find a couple of nearby caches, then up pops two more. Stopped and fed the ducks while we were here. TFTC
We remember this street very well, as the vigilant neighbour on the corner called the police on us when we were looking for the cache at 'Shortest boardwalk in town' just up the road. Admittedly that was a find at 8 in the evening and this at noon in broad daylight. Nice spot and lovely trees.
First to log STF. Beaten by 'parish's'. I often used to have my lunch here when I was working on the traffic signals. Such a beautiful, peaceful place. TFTC, a great hiding place.
