Today is the second day of our extra long weekend for Taurus Six and I . We are staying in the Serpentine / Jarrahdale area . It is windy yet still quite warm and it is a sunny day the rain has gone away at least for now . Our aim for today is to explore around the Serpentine Dam area then do a circuit back up through to Jarrahdale , the bush around here is beautiful . The views from the escarpment are particularly impressive. There is also birds life everywhere which always adds to the days enjoyment . The bush looks and smells fresh and alive due to the recent rains and all and all another fabulous day of exploring and geocaching in what is a new area for us . This is our first cache find of the day as we turn off the South West Highway. At gz we noted it was covered in spiders webs and a couple of big black spiders were guarding . Once we had moved them we logged and replaced cache . Thanks for the cache find .

Headed out on New Year’s Eve eve, with Cirrus_WA and his fam.
We hit up an archived cache before heading around to Keysbrook for the wrong turn series and a few others.
An extent morning with 13 finds.




This is my 1234 find.
Thank you Keego_and_Chil for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!

Our first sweeps of the area had us scratching our heads and starting to expand the search. SirFancy must have spotted something not quite right and with the help of Mr T checked it out and claimed the find.
• • • • •

With a cooler day on the cards organised with SirFancy to head down to Pinjarra to help with a cache that he has been stuck with and give the kids some run around time.
When finishing up at the playground we checked the map and noticed a series of caches along some accessible dirt roads and headed for the hills.
After an enjoyable morning out and about we finished with 12 finds and 0 DNF’s.

Checked on this cache, placed back into proper position, all good now.

BTW it is not the Telstra infrastructure
 
03-May-20
The cache is NOT in the Telstra pillar. Don't tamper with the thing.
This find was confusing. With the log descriptions and favourite points we didn't expect a tupperware in the obvious spot. But that's what we found. So we'll take that smiley thanks but do wonder if cache has been changed out. TFTC.

We headed out to collect some more smilies around and along the SWH today, we are happy to say that we came up trumps here, most of today's finds were quick, we loved the variety of caches that we came across, thanks to all CO's that placed these caches for us to find TFTC
 
15-Sep-18
Such a nice day that I thought that I would try and knock off some more of the SWH caches and a few others on the way. Most were found quite easily although a few took a little longer. It was so green down here with lots of fat cows and some beautiful wildflowers to look at. Only a couple of DNFs so a good day Tftc
 
Tftc sneaky find before the rain hit

Day Eleven of our holiday in Western Oz.
Bettyboo3747 and I have spent the morning on the South West Highway between Jarrahdale and Pinjarra, and the afternoon trying to find a cache that still exists on the way back to Rockingham.

A nice tribute for someone who does good camo hides.
It is good when the hide can reflect a bit about the hider.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12687. Day 11 of our WA holiday and our 6th day based in Rockingham. Robmc and I decided to tackle the SWH Series between Jarrahdale and Pinjarra. We managed a nice run of 44 caches before lunch and then the wheels fell off somewhat as we made our way home via Mandurah. So many caches were not viable so we didn't feel like wasting time searching. It was hard to find some caches that were still in play.

This one had us going for a while before I discovered its sneaky hiding place. Favourite point.

Thanks Keego_and_Chil
 
05-Sep-17
My last find as I make my way to Busselton. Nearly about to give a DNF when I spotted something that wasn't quite right. A FP from me. Thanks Keego and Chil.

**Found this while House Sitting in Bedfordale** Cool

*Out and about letting my GPS be my guide*...

A overcast but fine day to be out and about. Parked nearby and strolled to GZ... Whilst I don't know this team, I thank them for contributing so that we have another cache too find. Managed to grab 18 Smile today. I will be back to collect the remainder along the trail. This one earns a fave for the effort. Cool

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment Keego_and_Chil. Appreciate your effort. Big Grin

Spent the day trying to finish off the rest of SWH and had some success but had to give up when the rain became too heavy and persistent in the afternoon. This is one of the caches I was lucky enough to find. Thanks for placing and maintaining it!

Hi there Keego_and_Chil.

We found your cache **"SWH...firnsy"** at 3:39:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 14937.

Our plan for the day was to complete some of the SWH series, together with a few others that were also close to the highway. We thoroughly enjoyed our drive attempting caches to the left on our way north and picking up the ones we missed on the return trip. We found a variety of container types and sizes hidden along the way, and also managed to pick up a couple of trackables.

Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge if the container was large enough.
**Grabbed Trackable:** "Lucky Charm".

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! The caches I am logging in this batch were ones I found during WA Goes Big 2016. In an interest to get completely caught up, I am logging my past finds in bulk. I still have work to do after this, as I need to locate my notes from all of my earthcaches, but once those are in, I should be very close to current. I appreciate all the effort you go through to create and place your hides and do not for one second take it for granted, I just need to get caught up so I can return to my once pleasant logs. Cheers!

The WA Goes Big 2016 event provided the perfect excuse for me to pack up the wife and travel across to get some caches in WA. I have previously cached WA in 2008 (Perth to Geraldton and back) and 2011 (Kunninara) so it was great to head south from Perth this time.
This series was close to where we stayed during the WA goes big event at Pinjarra.
It was great to have such a great range of quality caches close to the event. TFTC.
 
05-Jun-16
No wonder we never found it last time. Very clever hide. We should know by now. Never trust your eyes. Touch everything try to move everything.
We found it in 30 seconds and we did not get a clue of anyone.... Great to see it's not MIA.

Out night caching with Moneydork and Semik after the WA Goes Big 2016 Dinner. TFTC. Big Grin

Found on a fun day caching with Micaparamedic and Ahomburg. We found almost all caches including a couple that had not been found for a while, and a couple of clever hides.
 
04-Jun-16
Catching up with some late logs, therefore this unfortunately is going to be one of 'those logs'. I apologize in advance for the generic log, A combination of limited time and too many to log dictates that a generic log is best. I have enjoyed the hunt and being outdoors in this great country of ours, partaking in a pastime that I thoroughly enjoy. I usually head out by myself, but I thank those that have had the misfortune of my company in some of these ventures.

Thanks Keego_and_Chil for placing this cache.

Running up the numbers today in readiness of my 3000th find in Albany next week. Had a go at my unfound SWH caches down to Pinjarra and then some Greek Alphabets on the way back plus a few others here and there.

Been here before for no joy and amazingly found the cleverly camo'd cache today shortly after arriving at GZ. This one deserves a favourite.

Keego_and_Chil I found your cache at 9:04am, this was the 9th of 56 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2923. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Pinjarra at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2016' event on the 4th - 5th June. Registrations now open.

Drove up to the West OZ Geocaching Meeting in Gosnells and decided to leave early and find a few caches along the way. Unfortunately it started raining heavily with a thunderstorm arriving quickly. So geoP had to make a quick dash out of the car to find the cache. Cache spotted quickly, signed and rehidden. tftc sl tnln
