After camping overnight in Minnivale ahead of tonight's Marshmallow event [GC9G5TP](https://coord.info/GC9G5TP) we headed out in a convoy of three cars to pick up a few smileys about the place.
14 eyes spent a good 10 - 15 looking around this one, pretty sure it is gone.
Zodiakhorizon I couldn't find your cache, this was my 1st DNF for the day. I did have 16 finds today so all is not lost.

Roadtripping the Northern Wheatbelt with Kyzabra and Krabiboy, this was a good archived cache to collect.
I generally hate Nanos but we had a run of three quick nano finds here.
Well spotted by Dalyho
This trip out had been a long time in the planning.
Krabiboy and I had hatched a plan and probably changed it about 10 times. dallyho joined us, final plans were set, and off we went
Zodiakhorizon - Kyzabra found your cache Koorda Crank! . The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Kyzabra and I have had our eyes on this part of the Wheatbelt for a few months. We were joined by Dallyho and today was the day to head out and make a weekend of it.
We left at 4.30am on Friday and headed off to the northern wheatbelt.
We covered over 600km today, clocking up 29 finds, including 5 archived caches.
Dallyho came across this one quickly and nice to get another archived cache easily.

Unfortunately this type of structure is generally too close to the railway lines if they are still active. The only way caches can exist this close is if the active line is fenced and this particular one is not so it must be archived.
(A number of these structures have had their caches archived recently when it was identified to reviewers that the lines were unfenced. None have been far enough away from the lines to allow a cache to be located on them.)

Unfortunately this cache should not have been published as it is too close to the active railway line.
Looking at it from a different angle, spotted this one quickly, very surprised how easy it was. TFTC
I was meeting up with a colleague in Cowcowing after spending the night at the camping facilities east of town and made an early start to pick up the couple of caches in town I hadn't had time to do on my previous trips through town. After a quick once over I started a more detailed search and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC.
Yet another nano and again smiley less again!!! Maybe we had our blinkers on this day as we seem to be the only people that haven't had any luck with this one.... Oh well - maybe another day 
To say we overlooked this one would be an understatement. Last cache for the day, and we were on our way!
On a weekend Camping trip, heading East to the Goldfields with the Felix duo, hoping to fill in some gaps on the "The Well-Travelled and Aged Cacher Challenge". (GC3TR3M).
Ended up traveling over 1500Km over three days, so a fantastic road trip.
Another Zodiak hide... another nano on an obscure piece of abandoned equipment....
and another Smiley........
Thanks for sharing all these oddities with us.

Nice little village here. Very friendly locals. Cache was easily spotted. TFTC Zodiakhorizon & Blondie.
Our mission today was to rescue some Geocaching.com.au moveables that had been stranded out in the Wheatbelt for the last month.
Managed to fit in some traditionals as we made our way around.
40 degrees out here so no camping for us fraidy cats. Will be overnight in a local pub who know's where?
Pulled up here a massive move of 350metres from the last and Mrs Felix was having heart palpatations that she had to get back out into that heat. Luckily after making lunch and armed with a cold drink Mr Felix spotted the cache in 1 of the first places he looked.

Sitting having breakfast friday morning, checked for new caches and found that Zodiakhorizon and Blondie had left another trail of nano's across the country side. We quite enjoy these caches and getting out in the country so off we went. We knew there were other caches in the Koorda area but had not downloaded them to the GPS before we left home. We thought every town had access to 3G! We drove out of town to a nearby hill and saved the caches to the iPhone and returned to make a fairly quick find. Fifth FTF for the trip. SL TFTC
