With the rain stopping for the day I thought Id race out and continue the Wandoo series today. Blue skies and fresh temps keeping me motivated to do as much as I can for today! The road is nice and quiet today which allows me to drive like a granny between stops. Thanks for placing this series for us to enjoy

Some maintenance was needed on the FOTT 4WD series, so we took advantage of the long weekend to get this done.

Granett, Kyzabra, Chickenhawk07 and I headed out this morning, this time taking two cars in case some form of recovery was needed .

A bit of maintenance, a few smileys and a good day out.

Nice to pick this one up and avenge my dnf from 2016.




Keego_and_Chil SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache Wandoo - Red Wing Fairy Wren today at 14:42:41 27 Sep 2020. This brings my find count to 4354

Keego_and_Chil - Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. We love travelling and visiting some places that we would only visit due to this game.

 
19-Sep-20
Out with Chwiliwr for a maintenance run of his Wandoo caches and also doing some maintenance of these Wandoo caches placed by Keego and Chil. Where it was necessary he replaced containers and/or logs and then I signed the log. All this section is now OK to be found.

Thanks Keego and Chil for placing these caches for me to find.

09-Sep-20
I overnighted in York and today I slowly made my way through Beverley and some of the Wandoo series towards Brookton Highway. Nice sunny day for caching but with a strong wind.

Plenty of parking here. I did leave muddy tyre tracks on the road when I departed. The sheep weren’t fussed by me finding this cache.

27-Jul-20
Left home in the wheatbelt to do a trip to metro area which normally takes around two hours; but today it took 6 hours with a plan of getting 63 caches but time got the better of us and only did 36 caches along WestDale road and Brookton highway. Some interesting finds but sadly 3 DNF’s.
Cheers for being the runner Prycee2709, get through them a lot quicker with a driver and runner.
Long day hunting now logging all of today’s caches, sorry for generic logs.
Thanks for the Wandoo series.

Spent the day trying to finish off this series. I was expecting more leaf litter hiding the caches but most were quick finds. Lots of different camos and a few that made me think twice. Only 6 dnfs because of fire or verge clearing. Tftc.

Out this way finding a few more in this series.
Thank you Keego_and_Chil

Headed off early to finish of this series with Parkacruz, we managed to only have one dnf and an adventure to try and claim the bonus box. We have learnt that you shouldn't go into the bush after a heavy rain !!!! We also learnt that if a wooden bridge looks slippery, it is. But we had a great day with many laughs.

Out for another fun filled day with Neva2old to finish off the Wandoo series and others in the area, happy to say a smiley was added here TFTC

Thank you! I headed out with papillon367 to finish off this series. The two of us managed to locate most caches without too much trouble, and it was a great day for a drive.

Ullyssia and I teamed up for a full day of caching to finish the Wandoo series that we had started in January. We completed the "bird" series and found all the minerals. Most caches were quick finds as the coordinates were spot on. Thank you for the hide and for the series Keego_and_Chil.

Our group started this series on a hot Australia Day, but finally had a chance to come back today to finish the trail of smileys. There are still three to be found, but overall we are happy with efforts! Today's weather was a bit kinder to the group and we had a great time - split into two groups of kids vs adults to see who would have the most finds at the end of the day, and I'm happy to report that us adults won! Thanks for the effort that has gone into creating and maintaining this series!

A call went out and a plan was hatched to tackle the Wandoo series. Very early this morning we joined forces with WebblyWA to see how we would fair and with the expectation that it would be good to complete at least half the series. We started and just cached, cached and cached finishing 11.5 hours later with 138 finds and the series completed apart from one that is temp disabled. Had a great day and a huge thanks to the CO's and those that maintain the series. Sorry for the mostly generic logs.

TFTC Keego_and_Chil this is find # 1645 for us
 
05-Jan-17
January's challenge mission for me was to collect at least 300 caches. Knowing I could get almost half way there with one series, I put out a call to see who would like to join me on an epic WANDOO day and Team Fratra was up for it so plans were made. We met up early collecting the first cache at 6.45am. Completing the series 11 and a half hours later, with No DNFs and only one glitch left on the map of a cache that is currently disabled. My total for the day finished up with a few extras at 140 as darkness, wind and rain set in.

It was a wonderful day and we had great weather for the majority of the day. Massive thanks to the COs and everyone that has put work into maintaining the series.

Cache #49 for the day. TNLN

We had a look but could not find. Sorry.
 
26-Sep-16
Sorry to the fellow Geocacher's who have been since I tried to have this disabled back in July, not too sure what happened but am trying again with this this new log.
 
26-Sep-16
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

A big day out with Oshiel and Jjjzellis to finish the bird sequence of the Wandoo series. This one is definitely missing.

NO CACHE HERE!
 
27-Jul-16
Sad to be putting a Needs Archive log on this, but after trying to contact the CO with offers of maintenance and many more people wasting their time here since also an outstanding Needs Maintenance log, it needs to be done.
Hopefully its not the beginning of the end of this legendary series.
 
24-Jul-16
Adding my name to the list of DNFs. Thanks anyway
 
24-Jul-16
I did not find this cool cache.
 
23-Jul-16
Out to complete a few more caches in the Wandoo series today. I thought the weather would catch up with me sometime during the day but I seemed to be lucky and missed all the rain. I found the first cache at 10:46 and the last one at 17:35 before calling it a day. All in all There was sixty three finds and three DNF's, so a fairly successful day. This was unfortunately one of the DNF's.

We visited this cache today, whilst out completing some others on the trail. It is definitely missing. Have messaged the CO and offered to replace it during our next run to finish the trail.
 
24-May-16
Not for us today
 
12-May-16
No signs of a cache here, but having seen all the previous DNFs I can't say I spent a lot of time searching.
 
06-May-16
A good poke around,
And no cache was found !! [:o]

I have seen a few Red Wing Fairy Wrens though Big Grin
 
05-Mar-16
Out today to complete the Wandoo series. It has taken us 4 trips so far and today we had a few minerals and birds to go.

It was a great day for it. We loved the variety of containers, types of hides and the great drive through the countryside.

We ended missing a couple of letters, so we still have to work out the bonus box.

Our second DNF of the day here.

**Thanks to the COs for a wonderful series.**
 
07-Feb-16
Due to the +40 heat predicted today, The Wandoo series was highest on the geocaching list. This was due to being mostly park and grab, therefore it was 50/50 between air conditioning and searching.
Had a great day and really enjoyed it with over 100 finds and a couple of DNF's.
As per other DNF's
Thanks for your effort Keego and Chil
 
03-Feb-16
pug002 didnt find it.3/2/2016. Suggest it has gone from previous logs. Spent a fair amount of looking, two gps's couldnt find it. Disappointed as we were going so well after our first one. Sad
 
01-Jan-16
This caches probably needs checking.
Thanks
 
01-Jan-16
No luck here
 
25-Dec-15
Decided to try my first extended run on a "power-trail" and chose the Wandoo Birds to see how I went. Like the previous two logs, I couldn't find anything after a really good search. I did a big circle just incase the GPS reading was a bit off, but nothing. I even had a second look on the way home, but no luck. Three people DNF'ing in a row? looks suspiciously like it has been muggled. TNLNSL TFTC K&C

Another dnf today. Oh well. Guess we will be back when the weather cools off.
 
14-Dec-15
I did not find this one. I am starting to run out of time
 
13-Dec-15
With a week touring around Perth, some time obviously had to be made for caching out here on the west coast. I started the day off slowly today with some short hikes, and then by lunchtime had decided to attempt a solo 100-caches-in-day.

And here my streak ran out - first DNF of the day. I looked for over 20 minutes, determined to find it, but eventually had to admit defeat. Maybe it was all the grass, or the tree cover affecting the GPSr, or maybe the cache was missing, or I was just cache-blind.

After 65 finds for the day, this is DNF #1.
Thanks for the work in the series, Keego and Chil, and thanks to all the COs who set out the Wandoo series.

Found with Le Boof on a nice spring day. This was a quick and easy find.

The log book is definitely and mouldy; it has limited shelf life left. Will try to replace when we return later in the year to finish the trail.

A lovely (but warm) day for a spot of geocaching and introducing another friends to the fun of it. Decided to tackle a chunk of the "birds" leg of this series TFTH

Day 3
We intended to find the remaining caches in the series today so that only the bonus box would be left for the journey home on Sunday. Once again there was hardly any traffic on the roads so we quickly polished off the remaining minerals on our way to Beverley to get petrol. Then back up to Yarra road, where the dust & heat defeated us yesterday, to round up the last 10 animals & a leisurely return to Beverley to net all the birds. sounds O.K. but we encountered our first DNF of the series & it must contain a vital clue as we never did come across an 'M'.
Another excellent day. Thanks for the scenery, the flowers, the trees, the minerals, the animals, the birds, the weather, oh and the caches.

Caught up with Loudy16 to head out and attempt to finish off my Wandoo Series today. I messaged Allied Oz a few days before to see if he wanted any maintenance done, and he decided to join us for the adventure. Great day out on the trails with all remaining Wandoo caches found. A massive thanks to all of the COs involved in making this series happen. TFTC Keego_and_Chil

Well I think the civilised way to do this series. M4yb, Me&B and I headed out in the Geoyota Ute for a drive from Yarra Rd to end in York for the night and come home with the others of the series.

Thanks Keego and Chil
 
12-Sep-15
At last our return to this great series! We: Me&B, megawat60 and I, together with the GeoUte, had a great week-end of caching doing these. Most caches were found quickly, some took a few more minutes because of clever camo or placement.
My gratitude goes to the CO's of these caches, for all the hard work in planning, placing and maintaining these caches. TFTC K&C!
 
12-Sep-15
I teamed up with megawat60 and m4yb (well they let me tag along really!) for a weekend of caching to catch some smilies and finish this series which we had started at the end of last year. The weather was a little damp but we had a warm car to climb back into and seeing the Australian bush wearing her prettiest Spring-carneval-outfit was food for the soul.
All were nice easy finds with some pretty containers in between to keep us interested.

Thanks for the series guys, the effort you all put in is very much appreciated.

Spent the day caching with my mini cachers and muggle parents. Easy Find, Mr 6yr old loving these ones, I'm sure it's a day he wont forget as we are aiming to break our record of 12 in a day. Looks like we have with a total of 30 found Smile TFTC
