NEF TFTC Chwiliwr

Cache replaced.

Carved out a couple of hours this morning to go caching and chose to do a bit of the sandpit series and a bit of the go bush series. With a bit of rain around, the tracks were pretty good considering.

This was my first find of the outing and was in hand quite quickly.

Tftc.

Another quick grab on a phone call detour from the GSH. No dramas here today. While the cache is definitely getting on, it was coping alright for now. Cheers Chwiliwr!

Tftc. Hiding spot has been compromised by loggers

Quick easy park and find, sad to see the tree chopped tho, TFTC

Too easy

Easy

After a nice tailgate picnic this was a nice easy find

Found it, all in good shape.
A great day to try this series.
Thanks for the cache.

Hi Chwiliwr, found “Wandoo Beaked Gecko” today grabbing a few roadside caches with Redruthguy. TFTC from Probsty

Quick find With cmb212 and probsty.

Easy find thank you

Back for day two hoping for no aerial burning today so that I can get further into the bush. Beautiful blue sky - great day to get out and add smilies to my map. Thanks for placing and maintaining these caches.
Saw a couple of Emus here - love the bush!

Quick find TFTH

Nice easy find to get the day started thanks for the cache

Out with meme28 geocaching for the day.
Driving through the forrest picking up smilies and enjoying the scenery.
Thanks for maintaining these caches and getting us out here.
Rain stayed away for most of the day.

Out and about with Burns345 hunting some country caches before it gets too hot... thank you to the COs for maintaining these hides for us!

Out with the Better Half for a maintenance run of my Wandoo caches and also doing some maintenance of the Wandoo caches placed by Keego and Chil.

All my caches were checked and the logs replaced. Where needed the cache container was replaced as well.

A big day of hunting down Wandoo caches. A sunny 30 degree day with hardly anyone around. Perfect bush caching day.

On the way home from York and looking at trying to grab a few caches in the fading light. Great spot, TFTC Chwiliwr!

Dropped off a TB to be kept moving along.

Out picking up some smiley's. Tftc.

Our caching run today included just a amall sample of the many caches in the Wandoo cache series, found along with ilook4geo. It was a matter of some animal, some vegetable and just a touch of mineral. The caches were chosen at random and there are plenty that we had to leave for another time. Each log had two names added before we moved on to the next one. Many thanks go to Chwiliwr for adding to such an extensive series of caches to be found.

There are so many caches to be found around this area, so we just had to make a selection, while out caching with goimgplaces2. No problem with finding this one. Very happy to add another smiley to our map here. TFTC.

Quick find while passing

Good find

Spotted gz from about 50m away.

Headed out again this morning to finish off this series. The road was terrible but I'm glad that I came after maintenance was done, 0 dnfs. Thanks Chwiliwr.

I took the better half for a drive to do some maintenance on all of the Wandoo series of caches down Yarra Road .

Some of them required replacing, some were fixed and a few were relocated as part of the maintenance so they are now all OK again.

We then went on and did a couple of others further east.

Chwiliwr had to go out and do some maintenance on his Wandoo series of caches down Yarra Road so I tagged along with him. Some of them required replacing, some were fixed and a few were relocated as part of the maintenance. We then went on and did a couple of others further east.

Thanks Chwiliwr for the cache.

The cache container is completely stuffed

See Wandoo Woylie (Wandoo Animal Series) for more info.

We ended the series here. There was a decent sized tree trunk so we sat here for lunch having not seen a soul all the way up the track. It was lovely and peaceful with only the sound of birs. TFTC and a favourite point

Up and out about early with Neva2old to claim a few smileys, we headed out to make a start on the Wandoo Series and any that jumped out along the way. After a quick search this cache was soon in hand and a smiley claimed TFTF

Awesome thanks. Log book very damp

Good one

TFTC

Cache needs maintenance log book all wet inside. Otherwise all good easy to find.

Nice cache thanks

After some recent logs advising of problems went for a drive today and checked each of my caches.

Repaired or replaced those that needed it.

All good to go now.

Hmm, with Monts napping at home, maybe he is the smarter one out of us in this rain. TFTC Chwiliwr

Spent aus day caching with muskcat83 and janssej and kids. Thanks for the series. Will be back to finish

Met up with ctvanderlinden and muskcat83 for the day in search of my 1000th find. Needed 52 to achieve this goal - we ended up with 101 for the day! It was a warm Australia Day, but a great way to spend the day in the bush, seeing kangaroos, wallaby's and even a race horse goanna! Thanks heaps for the series - we'll be back at some point to finish it off i'm sure!

Met up with ctvanderlinden and janssej for the day chasing a ton! We ended up with 101 for the day! Thanks heaps for the series - we'll be back at some point to finish it off i'm sure! What a wonderful way to spend Australia Day in 40 degree heat in the country side.

Thank you! Out for a caching day with papillon367, Photo-play and Bindi01. After a warm-up with the Cascades series, we headed off to do a couple of sections of the Wandoo series. We ended up finding all of the trees (bar one that was disabled) and all of the animals, and a few of the birds too. Thanks again to all of the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches. I hope to be back to complete the series soon.

Found it. TFTC Chwiliwr. Teamed up with Ullyssia, Papillon367 and Bindi01 to do part of the Wandoo series. Really great walk and drive through this area. I dropped a TB in here.

Teamed up with ullyssia, Photo-Play and Papillon367 again for a full day of caching.
Another quick find also. All ok
Thank you for the hide Chwiliwr

Teamed up with ullyssia, Photo-Play and Bindi01 for a full day of caching, the biggest so far for all of us! We started by a walk to pick up the Cascades series, then we continued onto the Wandoo series. We found all the flowers (except one not in play), a few of the birds and all the animals, plus a few extras, ending up with 82 finds for the day. Most were quick finds as the coordinates were spot on. This was our last cache for the day. Thank you for the hide Chwiliwr and for the series – nice choice of themes and great concept to have multiple owners for a joint 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 Chwiliwr this is find # 1700 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 #104 for the day. TNLN. A quick start for the animals hopefully the rest are this quick.

Found this one with Leega on our way to York. Nice quick find once at GZ on a beautiful day for caching in wonderful surroundings. TFTC Chwiliwr.

Found it

Having finished the Wandoo birds today, thought I'd make a start on the animals leg. Clouds rolled in and made the trip on Yarra Rd not so pleasant...will finish another day. TFTH's -all found quickly and easily

Another fun find with Just-Lookin.
We really enjoyed the drive around this area finding some of the wandoo series of caches.

Enjoying a holiday in Perth with tmann421 and collecting a few caches along the way.
Another great find here. TFTC

Found Wandoo Beaked Gecko. In all, 32 caches of the Wandoo power series by Chwiliwr were found. That amount to 3 favourite points. The 1st favourite point goes to this cache. No trackables to trade TNLN SL TFTH Chwiliwr.

Found whilst camping in the area, we love the Wandoo forest.
Thank you for the cache Chwiliwr.
Cheers TLC

Quick find here with the hint. TFTC

Cool cache.

This sticky little cache was soon found
Geckos are cute to have around the home,

Mudbuzzie and I were out this way again today, purely to finish off the Wandoo series as we managed to miss 3 last time. This was the second stop and thankfully a quick find. TFTC

Wooroloo finders (found on 25/03/16)
Well done Jess and Rebecca!!!!
*look in a split tree*

Out to finish the wandoo series and Being clean up Australia day, we also concentrated on CITO and ended up with a boot load by the finish, Thanks for the effort Chwiliwer cache is in good condition.

pug002 found it 1/2/2016. TFTC Chwiliwr.

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 finding over 100 caches today solo.
The good hint ensured a quick find in this enjoyable muggle-free bush location.
This was #8 of 105 today (DNFs = 0 so far).
Thanks for placing this cache, Chwiliwr, and thanks to all COs who set out the Wandoo series.

Thanks

Out in the mighty patrol today with nick to collect the procrastination installation 46 through to 1 we found them all in good condition and left path tags along the way.

The weather was spot on and there was even some mud for the patrol to splash about in !

We found all 46 in about 5 hours... Our gps was having a melt down today so we walked around in circles a few times.

sorry for the generic log

thanks for the series.

Collected 60 caches all up for a grand total of 850 on the way to the gollden k 1000- caches

Fernweh* and Nick.

Easy find

Originally found under family caching name "clan-wallace". Geohubby wants his own caching name, so I get to re log them for him!

Day 2
We had to go into York for a few supplies and so we sort of mixed up our sections of the Wandoo series today but it was not difficult to manage with the aid of the printed record sheets. 52 finds in total today (which included a few non Wandoos for good measure) & no DNFs which is a testament to the high standard of maintenance on this series. It was 36 degrees at its peak today & when we got to Yarra road the dust was flying everywhere, come to think of it, so were the flies. The spring flowers are still looking magnificent making the trip even more memorable. Thanks to Chwiliwr & Allied Pranksters for today's sections.

Nice and easy one
Just what I like

Out with krabiboy today picking up as many of the series today i really enjoyed it can't wait to get out and finished it. TFTC

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 Chwiliwr

Great bush walking. 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.

Thanks, beautiful area

My main mission today was to grab the GCA caches in th area, and I also did quite a few GC ones, mostly Wandoo caches - not sur. Made an early start as I had to be home by mid-day to take the geo-muggle-missus to a ballet show, so the first find of the day was made by torch light. It was a cold misty morning, but lovely in the bush.

Unfortunately, I missed the Ridley Road turn-off that I was going to take for three of the GCA caches and ended up taking a much longer route and also doing more Wandoos than intended. This meant that I only had time to do three of the four GCA caches that I had in my sights AND we were almost late for the ballet.

Good to get a few more Wandoos logged and picked up a couple of codes for the final as well.

SL. Thanks for the hide Chwiliwr

Had been advised that there was a broken lid on one of my Wandoo series of caches so came out today and did a maintenance run on all of them. Replaced the broken lid and repaired another that I found was cracked. Some caches had developed a bit of cache creep and one had been buried for some reason so put them back where they were supposed to be.

Not very well hidden. Good spot though.

Spent many hours today doing the Animals part of the Wandoo series. Then We headed down to York to grab a few more smilies.

TFTC

We spent today doing the “Animals” leg of the Wandoo series, plus few others. We then went into York for a couple of hours. It was a brisk but beautifully fine winter’s day. Most caches were in great condition, and all were easy, but fun finds.

We managed 50 finds (which is now our best of 1 day) and 1 DNF.

Thanks to all the COs for their caches.

Found while out caching with a friend, was in the area to pick up a couple of other caches and then picked up a few more in the wandoo series on the way out. Thanks for the cache

A big day had been in the planning fr sometime with Spatialriq and today it had finally arrived.
The goal was to complete the Wandoo series in a single day. An early start was arranged and we found our first cache at 6.01am. The last, the Bonus box. at 5.01pm Exactly 11 hours later.
A great day on the road and great company. All caches were found fairly quickly with spot on co-ords with the exception of one DNF.
A credit to the four cache owners on this series and the ongoing mantenance to keep it aliv. Well done.

This was cache number 95 out of 132 for today. Also our total find number 2972
Thanks Chwiliwr for this hide.
