Merredin Swimming Pool Merredin, Western Australia, Australia

Archiving this geocache as every few weeks it has to be replaced - I believe there is someone who thinks it is fun to constantly remove the geocache even when it is clearly labelled geocache do not remove.

owner maintenance required - needing to relocate slighty or make harder to find its always being taken even when clearly marked as a geocache and not to be taken

I am not sure about this one as maybe my height hindered the hunt. Searched quite a few trees with no luck!

No luck finding this one today. Thanks anyway

Nice surprise!!!

A quick find.
On a little road trip gathering some LGAs.
TFTC Knungajin Knights this is find # 6915 for us.

Was informed that the geocache was missing I have now replaced it in the tree.

Hi there Knungajin Knights.

We found your cache **"Merredin Swimming Pool"** at 10:38:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 22315).

We are heading from SA to WAGB in Northam & we stopped off in Merredin on the way through. Now that we've settled in to the caravan park we have taken the opportunity to head out and find some of the caches we had to bypass with the caravan behind us.

We found 5 caches today & DNF'd 1. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic travels around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Fun find

Thank you! Dad (my part-time assistant) and I headed on a day trip down the Great Eastern Highway, with plans to get to Merredin.
As usual, dad took the opportunity to tell me about the hijinks he got up to at the pool when he was younger.

It's not in a mint tin it's a brown little tube was a good one to find very easy

Our trek goes on, as we head east with goingplaces2 and this cache was one we wanted to look for today. Found it and replaced as found, when log was signed. TFTC.

After spending the night in Tammin we thought we would also include the caches around this area on our caching list for the day, along with ilook4geo.
We stopped here for a short break and found the cache container in the obvious position.
Many thanks go to Knungajin Knights for placing and recently replacing this cache.

I have replaced the geocache in its hiding place.
Happy hunting everyone.

Found the giddy hole but nothing there

Found but it was on the grass near a tree with no log book. I had nothing on me but a pen and my phone so couldn't help. I did sign the sandwich bag though.

Quick one, used it as a driving break Found on the way to Kalgoorie during the second day of our journey.

Found quickly using the hint! In an obvious place. The host has a lovely perfume right now. Tftc

Quick find while in Merredin doing some shopping. Great little town. Tftc

Cool spot!

Found it but it was wet inside. Only had a scrap piece of paper with me but signed it and put it in a small zip lock bag and placed it inside the mint tin.

Found this one thanks to the hint and google. I love these old swimming pool entrances they don’t build them like that anymore. I wouldn’t call this wheelchair accessible as it is more than 1.5mt off the ground and off the path.

Used the hint, yep it’s in a tree. Nice pool.

We stopped at the local bakery to grab some brunch on our way through and thought while we were in town we might as well grab a cache. So we picked this one and off we went. Quick search and Leega soon had the cache in hand. I love the old entrances to the swimming pools. They are getting fewer and fewer. The log in the cache was soaked through and needs to be replaced. TFTC Knungajin Knights

Found this one with axell33 on our way home from Kalgoorlie. Half way home! A quick find here but a very soggy cache. Nice to see the crops getting a drink. Thanks for the cache.

Too wet to sign. Log needs replacing

Needs maintenance to wet to sign it

Found with Margo

Nice camo we were lucky to spot it in its little hidey hole! Biking around on a Sunday afternoon, very pleasant. Pool is closed so very quiet. TFTC

Out on a long journey to Kalgoolie, picking up caches along the way . thanks to everyone for placing these caches for everyone to find. Absolutely a beautiful weekend so far. Tftc.

in Merridin for work TFTC

A quick stroll around town to get back into caching again after a long absence. First of many on a road trip to the Alice and Adelaide. GPS showed GZ a few metres out, but found it eventuality in the first place looked.

I thought I had already tried for this one last time we passed through but I think now there may have been too many people around as it was a quick find this morning. The pool is closed and there was nobody around.
TFTC Knungajin Knights

Good little sneaky one.

Nicely camoed cache in a tricky location. Had to have a few goes to extract from hidey hole. All well with cache. TFTC,Knights!

Found by Mary & David at 0843. Stayed overnight and had dinner at the Tavern. A nice cool morning, but can imagine summer and how busy this place would be, Our thanks to Knungajin Knights.

Out on a road trip to Kalgoorlie and to be a part of Coolgardie Day we thought why not cache along the way, we had this cache in hand rather quickly, log was signed and returned as found TFTC

Nice quiet Saturday in Merredin The log is a bit wet so needed pen to write.

Found en route from Adelaide to Perth. Had the feeling I was being watched from the house across the road. Thanks Knungajin Knights for the cache.

Bit cold for a swim today lucky the pool is closed for winter have walked passed this tree many of times and never thought there would be a cache here! Nice spot!

Great hiding place only downside was I was looking for a ziplock bag like the description said not a mint tin

Nice easy one when the pool is not in use.

Nice quick find TFTC

Stopped on our way home from the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs. Hubby tells me this is where he did Swimming club as a kid. TFTC

2nd find before it gets 2 dark

Found on way to see Alice.
TFTC

A quick find on our road trip up through the Great Central Road to Alice Springs for the Red Centre Event.
TFTC

This cache was the chosen one for our visit to Merredin on our way to Alice Springs via the Great Central Road. A quick find of a nice mint tin here. TFTC!

On my way to The Red Centre Experience Mega Easter event in Alice Springs with m4yb in Jonathan Swift the Geo Camper and Max the GeoUte. This was one on the list of our first days travels.

Nice easy find, jointly, and we both thought it strange to see the sign, "pool closed for winter" on a 30 odd degree day on April 1!.

TFTC Knungajin Knights

Found It!
A quick find. Not much action at the pool today which was odd given how hot it was...
TFTC

TFTC tempted to have a swim, a bit hot.

Its busy here on this 40deg day
Kids sound like there having a ball on the other side of the fence!
TFTC

On a bit of a road trip (close to 2000km by the time we get home) grabbing some LGAs and adding to my smileys tho only finding a few in each major town other wise we will never get home as we only have 3.5 days

Our plan is just to drive and stopover at the nearest town to where we are when it starts getting dark. But we have on our list Katanning, Nyabing, Gnowangerup, Borden, Jerramungup, Ravensthorpe, Esperance, Grass Patch, Salmon Gums, Dundas area, Kambalda, Kalgoorlie, Coolgardie, Southern Cross, Westonia, Merredin, Kellerberin, Tammin, Cunderdin and finish off caching in Meckering

Checked in late to the local caravan park which was all good except no power and our cabin was like a dry sauna which also wasn't good as we needed things to go in the fridge
After a while we went for a drive and the roadhouse at the west end of town was open, boy that ice cream tasted so nice and cool
Got back to park and the power pole near us was getting so legal attention and the power was back on. Time to crank up the aircon

First cache of the morning and an easy find. Muggle thought it was out of my reach but it was all good

TFTC

Replaced cache as found

With the cache numbers reset now for 2017, the plan was to hit the new tear running (or caching).

Teamed up with Granett for a day long roadtrip through the wheatbelt. On the target list, a pile of LGAs to cross off, some Jasmers, some archived caches and a generally fun day out.

We left Perth at 6, heading for Merredin, then down to Narambeen, Bruce Rock, Quairading and then back home. A long drive in the heat, but cachers do crazy things, right?

A quick find here

Knungajin Knights - SVKR_WA found your cache Merredin Swimming Pool on 2/1/17, 10:20. This is my find #1735 and find #7 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

A big day out with SVKR_WA today picking up a few LGA's (counties) which seems to be the norm for some people these days. After a 740k round trip we ended up with 9 new LGA's, 19 finds and a couple of Jasmers.

Whilst in Merredin we thought we'd have a go at a couple others nearby. SVKR_WA was the first to spot this one in a nice hidey hole.

Knungajin Knights I found your cache at 10:21am, this was the 7th of 19 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3715. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

This one took quite a while, mainly because the cords were about 8m out for us today, but we got it in the end. TFTC

I have finally redeemed myself by going back to the 1st place the Mrs looked, but I managed to make the find. TFTC

Well, another weekend and it is time once again to head away to gather some more counties for a challenge that I am close to competing . I targeted caches in 7 different LGA counties which should get my total to over 90 . I was able to grab a bunch of archived caches as well which is always a bit of a buzz for me! Completing this challenge has also given me a great opportunity to see more of this wonderfully diverse state [^]. I had a fantastic time caching around here and a massive thanks to the CO's for the effort in placing the caches!

Knungajin Knights - jinta29 found your cache Merredin Swimming Pool. This is my find #6100 and find #9 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for the time and effort taken to place this cache!

Ignored the GPS and went for the obvious place, therefore a quick find. Happy about this as it's getting hot and it's a long drive back to Perth after a business trip here.

8 metres out for me which made it the wrong tree. TFTC

Came out before the pool opened so there was no one around. I've been visiting family in Merredin for a few days, and the pool was a blessed relief when the temperature hit 38 degrees on my first day in WA!

Tftc. This one was a cleaver hide. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Tftc

Thanks for the easy find.

An easy find today. We are trying to complete at least one cache each day of our long holiday and have 17 conservative days to date. Nearly our record. Thanks Knungajin Knights for your cache.

Awesome thanks

TFTC

Quick find on the way to Kal TFTC

Found on way to Kalgoorlie. Nice hiding spot and co ords spot on making the job easy. Thanks for the hide

I think it's been muggled. Spent the better part of an hour looking before I asked my uncle for a hint (he'd found it ages ago) but it wasn't there when he came to look this time.

It was very hot today so there weer a lot of muggles near the swimmingpool. Greetings from Holland and tftc.

Very clever little hide. Thanks for the cache

TFTC Knungajin Knights

Very cool!

#2256 - Found by B on a sunny arvo. Very impressive construction. Worthy of a favourite. Might need a little maintenance of the logsheet container lid to fit more snuggly on housing.
Just cycled up from Bruce Rock to grab supplies to cycle to Kalgoorlie http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/15119 Many thanks to the cache owner Knungajin Knights for establishing and maintaining this cache.

Another easy one. TFTC

Not in a ziplock bag but a very neat cache

Good one

Dnf tree was dameged may be missing

Did not find maybe missing there is a big branch broken out of a tree right at the location may be gone

Easy find

Quick found on our trip to Perth. TFTC.

TFTC. SL still soggy.

I found this one easy enough but the log is soaked.
Made an attempt at signing the log but this really needs replacing.
TFTC

Starting my trip over east to attend the Qld Mega.

Mistraluna and I tried for this cache last year on our way back from the SA Mega but had no luck.

Today I found it without problems but the log itself was damp/wet.

Thanks Knungajin Knights for the cache.

Tricky, clever hide. Found it this morning at 11:15, but put Jan in log instead of Feb - Duh1 TNLNSL TFTC

Just relogging under a new account. Signed log under an old account of dcorunna on this day

In Merredin for the Christmas break and doing a late afternoon/early evening cache run on Christmas Day. Quick find. TFTC.

Out and about on Christmas Day and found this along with dcorunna. TFTC.

Today I was heading home to Perth after spending a few nights in Kalgoorlie for some family birthdays. I was able to stop by here quickly on the way down the highway. I liked the effort that had gone into the camp here, TFTC Knungajin Knights

Our walk continued and another cache in hand. Tftc
