I found this cache with the aid of the tiger eye thank you because my GOS would not settle down. TFTC

TaurusSix and I have started our Easter holiday a day early, making Thurs our first official Easter holiday day. We are heading to Pemberton and basing ourselves there for four nights while we explore the region and everything it has to offer and of course fitting in as much geocaching as practical along the way, whilst still doing lots of other things too. We love the autumn weather and there is always something special about an Easter get away.

Day three has been jam packed, we just love this area there is so much to see and do. First up we headed into Pemberton to place some new caches, we found some ideal spots that we thought would add to the existing hides of the area, they will be coming out shortly. After a lovely brunch in town we commenced the Adventure Lab there before heading out to the Gloucester Tree. Wow it was busy out there at one stage we counted over 40 people on the tree at the same time with many more waiting to join. We did a couple of the short walks there as well as collecting a geocache . From there it was onto the Big Brook Dam. Another wonderful area and we walked the full circuit , which was very enjoyable , collecting geocaches and the Ad Lab reference along the way. Then onto the Warren River Cedar area which once again the area was quite stunning . We finally ended up doing the Rainbow Trail , which was another lovely walking track on the outskirts of town.

This was our eighth cache find of the day along with a nearby Adventure Lab. As we continued along this very pleasant track the birds ere in full song, it is amazing how sometimes the smallest of birds make the most noise. Cache was quickly located, logged and replaced. Thanks for the cache jacaro44 .

We have a short holiday at Pemberton, the nature is beautifull. We do the Rainbow trail and later we made a trip at the car to find some other caches. And climbing to the top of the Gloucester tree, for a fantastic view.
Thanks for the caches and greetings from The Netherlands.

Really liking these yellow eyes

A nice quick find while on our scooters, scooting around these wonderful trails in the karri forests.
We have been camping at Pemberton for the week, caching as we go.
These ones have been on our radar since we put a smiley on the other ones in the series back in 2012 - this must be a record for the longest running series to be completed - nearly 10 years from start to finish

Exploring Oz NSW

Missing cache has been replaced and awaiting next visitors

We started this series yesterday from the dam. Today we are walking from the caravan park. A nice walk along the track and all caches were found in good condition. Luckily not many bike riders out this morning.

Sadly no joy I had 1m from GZ, but no marker on the trail, and none on any stumps within a 20m radius. I may be wrong, but methinks an eagle eyed BT Walker might have picked up markets and cache.

Of course I could be totally wrong andossed by miles!

Found 4 items as per the hint but no cache and no marker.

No luck spotting this one unfortunately. Thanks anyway jacaro44 and hopefully we can still complete the series ok

Couldn’t locate this one even with the hint. Found a yo-yo quite close to a likely spot but alas, no cache. Thanks anyway jacaro44. Might need a check or could be a case of the old cache blindness today.

We have just completed an annual maintenance visit to these caches. New Logbooks, pencil, sharpeners and some children swoop items. Containers dried out and ready to receive visitors.Please replace cache container in upright position (lid uppermost) where possible. Enjoy your visit to Beautiful Pemberton.

Found it. Didn’t have a pencil but logged using brown crayon. Easy ISS find near yellow discs

Found it TFTC
Hint not 100% true we think

After a week in Nannup it was time to hit the trail again. We were heading for Manjimup but at the last minute changed our mind and headed to Pemberton.

This morning after a 11hour sleep we had a looksee for nearby caches and tada there was a few.

Headed out at 11.00am with lunch packed to see what we could find. Magnificent day in Karri country.

TFTC jacaro44

That was much quicker. Geo senses must have returned. Thanks jacaro44 for the hide.

And again, another quick find. Thanks jacaro44 for the hide.

I went for a walk this morning and found three of the 6 caches of the Rainbow Ramble.
This afternoon I’ll be going to the dam and will search for the other 3. The final is then the next one on the list.

Beautiful spot, love coming here to camp. Great fun solving TFTC!

Third one of the day. Really good spot

Quick find TFTH

Found while having a few days R&R . Walking the Bibbulmun track on our way to Albany. Thankyou for the cache.

Found our second Rainbow Ramble cache. So far. So good. The Geokids like them! TFTC.

Out on a 4-day south west exploration with Cravo10 with the eventual goal of meeting up for a group assault on the Top on Hop in Walpole Nornalup National Park.

Day 4 saw us leaving Pemberton heading to Walpole via some back roads and a lovely detour to Windy Harbour.

We completed the rainbow trail around Pemberton first thing which was a lovely set of walks including all the caches at Big Brook Dam before heading down to Lake Yeagerup to grab the two caches down there.

We continued to Northcliffe with an unfortunate DNF there before moving down to the highlight of the day which was the location of Windy Harbour, an absolute picturesque place with some great sights the highlight would be their "natures window" which was simply awesome.

We continued along from Windy Harbour to Walpole where we completed all the caches around town and the surrounding before having a final walk upon dusk to Fire Lookout at Mount Frankland, which was absolutely stunning and a great way to finish the day.

Thanks to the local COs for their caches.

A Southwest escape again with Barnzy12 starting in Perth heading to Margaret river via Dunsborough yallingup and down the coast road.

Day two had us visiting Augusta to Pemberton with a great drive through heartbreak track with stunning Karri Forrest.

Day three was spend visiting Windy Harbour ... living up to its name and then through to Walpole where an epic walk up GC18W4D fire lookout ended the day.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

Cool

Spending a couple of days in Pemberton, I chose to explore the Bibbulman & had a great walk from Big Brook Dam into town... Another quick find here on this beautiful stretch of the track [^]

TFTC jacaro44 Cache was in good condition.

Thanks, lovely walk.

Another one under our belt! TFTC!

Red herring threw us for a little while, but soon on the right spot. TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Out today completing some of the rainbow ramble series. Found all caches in good condition double bagged and containered. Appreciative of the reflective makers that made finding the containers in the dense undergrowth.

Found with Roma308 tftc sl tnln.

Cache 99!

Easy found on our way.

Great walk, great series. I was very surprised and disappointed to have to pour over half a cup of water from each of three of the cache containers. Thankfully all of the log containers were dry. TFTC

Quick find, now only one more clue to collect. TFTC

Set out from the caravan park this morning on foot to find a few caches nearby. The few caches turned into a run to find all the caches in this series, a trip of about 15km. I had run to 'A' and decided to run around Big Brook Dam. I found all the caches quickly and returned back at the caravan park needing to still find the final cache, which I did soon after.
A great place for a walk (or run) and I recommend completing the whole way to the dam.
Thanks for the series and easy finds.

All is in good order the last to find was fishing muggles who have signed log and put back good fun to read. Find 5 On our travels around Australia doing a few caches on the way. TFTC

This Rainbow Ramble was an adventure for the whole family. All easy finds but getting between them was exciting to say the least. Mr O. and geokid1 went by bike between D and C (which is a lot further than it looks), while Mrs. O. and geokid2 walked back from D to the car near F and attempted to drive round to C. That was the plan but it didn't quite work out due to fallen trees, no entry signs, roads closed, bridges closed, a poor choice of shortcuts and flat phone batteries! All's well that ends well but suffice to say, doing all 6 in one go cannot be done by car. By bike is fine but strenuous. Very peaceful through the forests and the dam looked magnificent. Thanks for the series!

Second one on our walk to finish this series.
Thanka for another quick grab.
