Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
Due to circumstances beyond control I won't be heading down to Bridgetown anymore if any one would like to take over this series you can contact me otherwise I will slowly disable the series
Hmmm, I do wonder of it's still here after being unsuccessful yesterday and today.
So camping at Greenbushes for the Easter Weekend it was time for a little sojourn to Bridgetown. We knew these caches were here obviously but unlike us we had no list so there was alot of backtracking to complete this series.
2nd of this little series and it took us way too long, but so many muggles! Who would have thought so many people would use this facility!
Got there in the end.
Info collected and moving on.
Looking forward to meeting other Geocachers at our July Event, WA goes BIG in 2013. - GC45X55

I was in this neck of the woods dropping off some food caches for an upcoming Bibbulmun walk and couldn't resist doing a few caches. TFTC.
Today we drove down to Bridgetown, to stay overnight, on our way to Northcliffe for the weekend. As we got into town about 3:30 my hubby generously gave me some time for caching, and I attacked this series.
Even though there was a lot going on in the park, I was able to make a quick find here, and I noted the information I needed for the final.
I had a great time visiting all the locations around Bridgetown, there is a lot to see. Thanks for the cache and the series allys angels!

Realized how quickly I was running out of school holidays, so headed southwards to do a bit of caching and catch up with old friends along the way. I hope the CO's won't mind if I don't write too much about each individual cache, but it was a brilliant series all 'round. Thanks allys angels
Nice hide in a lovely community park. Really nice area. Forgot pen. So will log with photo
4th cache for the day with Pippyhalfrat, SistaCate and LoobyLulu. It was very hot and there was high muggle activity so looking for the cache was a bit of a trial. Once we read that it wasn't in the gazebo we found it much easier. We pretended to be reading the plaques and after the muggles decided that we werent too strange we headed for the cache. Still wondering if the muggles noticed that we read the same plaqes about 5 times each. But anyway...

Muggles, muggles everywhere!!!! however Pippyhalfrat, Looby lulu and Sista Cate put on an impressive effort of reading the information plaques in the gazebo, trying to look like wayward tourists, until we retrieved the cache, wrote in the log undetected and replaced it.
The saddest thing about Memorial Park is that it used to be known to locals as the Boat Park because of the replica Barque Bridgetown that some amazing citizens built there some years ago. We and all our children have played on, romanced in and generally felt that we owned that boat until one day a few years ago the authorities decided that the boat was no longer seaworthy ( safe, that is - apparently it didn't meet Australian Safety Standards - together with the huge steel slide, the monkey bars and the maypole ) so she was scuppered. Consequently we now refer to the park as the " No Boat Park". OH NO imagine if they discover that " strange " people known as geocachers are placing mysterious items in there and that equally strange geocaching people go looking for them!!!

Took a little while to get this one due to the high muggle activity today but we waited and found it. Signed the log. TFTH
On on earlier visit today we had to abort the search because workmen were dismantling equipment used for the Bridgetown Blues weekend. So after finding the other caches in the series we returned and found the cache easily although we had to be on the lookout for the workmen who were still dismantling the stage.
found it whilst out getting geolasers L plate hours up thanks for a great day out also had pinky 1999 in tow
(Catching up on some late logs.)
Second cache for the day in Bridgetown. Had to time the search and replacement between the group of young muggles that were playing nearby and came near GZ a few times to retrieve their things.
Thanks allys angels for the cache.
