Nice spot, parking off road

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 43 - York to Wandering via Beverly and some vary back roads. It was straight back to Beverly, to then get on a new road heading South West. This gave me a good go at few Wandoo caches before trying some road option google wanted, but tomtom was not so keen on. This seemed to mean dirt. Despite the rain, both sections were firm, and I even managed one cache out in the who knows where before arriving in Wandering. Once set up I wandered around town, if you can call a council town with no shops a town, for the Labs and a couple of other caches. After a quirt afternoon doing logs, it was off to the tavern for dinner. At least there was a good crowd there.Once I reached this new section of road, it was back to roadside caching while carefully placing the van out of the way. It was not very busy, just a huge tractor at one point. All the caches found were in good condition except one.Thanks for the cache Keego_and_Chil47547.10 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2010 Micro Cap A#166**Albida**

For the last two days the weather has not been kind to us. so we decided to concentrate more on lab caches and virtual's where we didn't have to spend a lot of time getting wet. We're now heading from Beverly to Wandering where we will pick up some equipment in the morning before we start heading back to Victoria.
We also enjoyed the drive through the farm lands which were all very green and scenic.
The caches we looked for were all located where the GPS said they should be.
We have added our name to their log books and returned every thing as it was

Decided with goingplaces2 to pick up a few of this series before we left town. TFTC.

Before leaving Beverley it was decided to pick up some birds in this series, along with ilook4geo. This was one of the ones we caught. Thanks for this series go to Keego_and_Chil.

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

Quick find on the way home from Beverley. Thanks for the hide

Tftc

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.

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.

For some reason I started walking towards the letter boxes until I realised the cache was across the road.

Found with Whitburn2321 a couple of weeks ago, forgot to log the find, cheers for the cache

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.

All's good here TFTC

Easy peasy

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
My oh my, what a wonderful day!
It's a time for celebratin' today!
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
Geocaching on this wonderful day!

Yep, let out briefly from Covid-19 isolation area closure, just a wee bit of exercise and fresh air. I had a geocaching driver and decided to do a few of the Wandoo series which is located not far from the farm who kindly allowed us to stay during the lockdown when we had nowhere else to go.

The container and log book were all good at this one of the series.

Not to hard

Tftc

Out and about with Team Barritts for couple of days caching adventures around York and Wandoo NP.

Thanks to all the CO's for their hides and bringing us to these fantastic places.

Day 2 of our geocaching adventure around York and the Wandoo NP Series.

Nice quick find here today, SLTFTC Keego and Chil!

Skyryser and I started the series after crossing the Nullarbor on the way back to Perth. Most of the caches were easy finds. Thanks for placing this series and hoping to continue it soon. The_Shredder

Easy ..

Great parking spot

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.

Good parking spot off the road, nice spot for lunch

Out on a short run. TFTH.

Out with blakids and loubla. TFTC

See Wandoo - Australian Hobby (bird series) for more information. TFTC

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.

Not where I would have put it. But then wouldn't be able to get to it. Cache all good.

Quick find. Tftc.

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!

We began this series with muskcat83 and janssej back on australia day in scorching 41°C! We finally made it back today in 17°C temperatures. Tftc

I just love geocaching - TFTH!

Thank you K&C

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 # 1656 for us

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 #60 for the day. Quick and Easy Fratra spotted this one from the car while I made the grab. This one is by deep Pool RD and i could do with a swim right about now its a tad warm,

Cool cache.

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 find number nineteen for the day the cache was found out in the open, I almost gave up and missed it, returned it to the obvious location/ Thanks keego and chil for the cache.

Found on a nice winter’s day with Le Boof, during our second run at this trail. Thanks for getting us out to towns near to Perth that we should visit more often.

Found quickly, cache in good condition.

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.



**Thanks to the COs for a wonderful series.**

Nice quick one thanks

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. Thanks for your effort Keego and Chil

Decided to try my first extended run on a "power-trail" and chose the Wandoo Birds to see how I went. TNLNSL TFTC K&C

We had a fright when we met the Cache Keeper here. She crawled out the same spot! A real live spider. We have put the cache back very close, but not brave enough to put our hands back in there! Tftc.

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

Originally logged under family name of clan-wallace now slowly transitioning to new name

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.

Easy find

The Wandoo series is turning out great.
Beautiful day for geocaching

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

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!
