Pulled up in the shade near GZ and while I finished getting ready SirFancy and the geo-twins started the hunt.Found the large and made sure to keep clear of it and hunted through all the nooks and crannies and was just about to leave empty handed when SirFancy came up with the cache that blends in well with its surroundings. For International Earthcache Day, I put out a call to see who from the MICKS crew might want to go on an adventure to a qualifying cache and got a positive response from SirFancy.Together with the geo-kids (MrZ, MrT, & MrB), we arranged to leave home in the morning with a couple of options down Collie way as our main targets. We supplemented the list with other caches and adventure labs nearby.We broke the trip to Collie with a pitstop in Pinjarra for supplies and a cache find in Brunswick Junction before heading up the hill. After collecting the required Earthcache on the way up, we made our way to Lake Kepwari for a pleasant walk, completing the series of caches available.Back in town, we stopped for lunch and let the kids burn off some energy before finishing up the adventure lab we had started and then headed straight home.At the end of a longer-than-expected day, I managed to collect 9 finds, 5 adventure labs, and 1 DNF. Thanks go to Keego_and_Chil for placing and maintaining the Traditional cache K & C - 139 Roeland's Whim for me and others to find.I added my name to the log at 11:11 on 13/10/2024.This is find number 9424 for me.

Great camo"Found it! Remembering the words of Confucius: 'It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.' Onward to more discoveries!This is my 5376 find.Thank you Keego_and_Chil for placing and maintaining this cache.SirFancy West Oz Geocaching committee member.www.west-oz-geocaching.com/

Clever find. This one took a while. Great camo

Almost gave up before my partner found this one!! Had to put the fur-babies in the car after I noticed these bad boys were all stirred up and angry Fellow cachers beware!!TFTC!

Spent a fair bit of time looking around GPS was very off track to start with. Took quite a while to settle on what works think is the obvious spot. I thought I had found the cleverest, sneakiest spot for the hide to be, but nope! Not there! So bummed to have to give up on it Maybe one day well be back here to try again.

Great find! Took a couple of attempts and much frustration at seemingly looking everywhere! Found it on my second visit though very quickly! My little boy was very excited being here because we got to see a few trains go past while looking!

Great Camo, took us a little while. TFTC!

Great hide. Took some time but got it. SL R&R

Great area, great history & great disguise.

Great camo. Found after a little while. Thanks.

Yay we found it.
Thanks heaps
Treasures_trekking_oz

where is this ahahah

Out and about with Geodogs M and R and dropped by to grab this one. Only needs maintenance due to bag being too big I think. Thanks for the cache

Day 6 of my WAGB22 adventure. Heading home today , grabbing a few caches along the way . Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining their caches for others to find , tftc

Day 6 of caching our way around Bunbury and surrounds for WAGB22. On our way home today - what a great weekend. Ive enjoyed the variety of hides down here. Thank you to the COs for placing these caches out here for others to enjoy. Apologies for the generic logs.
Great hide - very sneaky heres a fav point

Finally turned a frown upside down sneaky hide thanks

Suspected as much as I have one of these :p great camo!

Very tricky. Tftf

Found while down in Bunbury and Collie for the WAGB22 event. Great weekend!

In Bunbury and Collie for WAGB2022! A massive weekend of caching and catching up with friends. A big thank you to all the COs that have placed caches for this weekend, as well as COs maintained by existing listings. You have made this weekend what it is! Apologies for the generic logs. Cheers Keego_and_Chil!

Day 3 of WAGB22 week, travelled down to Bunbury with muggle geo-son, didn’t stop for any caches along the way as we had a later departure than anticipated.
Hit Burekup, Roelands, Dardanup and Donnybrook areas before heading back to Bunbury in the dark.
Messages popped up FTF were up for grabs. Managed 38 finds, 5 FTF’s and 2 DNF’s.

Searched for a little while, then noticed something in the grass covered with leaves, appears the magnets and log book don’t agree.

Thanks to the CO for their hides. Sorry about the generic log.

Love the camo

TFTFF

Caching our way home after a weekend in Busselton. Caches were found in good condition. Thanks for placing for our enjoyment.

We travelled down to Ferguson Valley to explore the local area while staying for the weekend. This cache was one of the ones we found near our accommodation. Interesting piece of equipment.

Thanks Keego_and_Chil for the cache.

Very nice hide here, blends in well. Log was missing so have replaced with a nice big sheet of paper in a bag. TFTC lovely spot

Have found the cache down the road it a logical progression to tackle this one next. Id not known what these are called. As soon as I saw all that metal I had visions of a lengthy search, not desirable on a super hot day as is today.
But, I found the cache a lot quicker than I expected. Bonus!
Then as I was thinking about photographing the device a train came along. Double-bonus!

The log is ever so full and could do with a fresh log.

Awesome. Finally found under our noses. Thanks

Thank you for the Adventure!

Found today
good cache, signed log and returned

TFTC

Out on a family geo caching adventure .
We had turns in finding them and some it was a matter of who got out of the car fastest, signed log and returned
Tftc

Very tricky find for the uninitiated. Upside down miss Jane lol.

Found on a little caching trip with VespistOz. Couldn't remember if I had found this one since my GPS had died. Happy to say I hadn't, would have been embarrassing not remembering this hide. All is well here Adrian.

TFTC

Around and around and upside down and.Me&B casually put us both our of our misery.

Next time

Couldn’t find but didn’t want to disturb the paper wasp nests

Yay, happy to turn this into a smiley today

Surprising quick find. Excellent camo. TFTC.

This one was a great camo! Touched it a good dozen times before we realised that it was the cache! Brilliant! TFTC

No luck here today

Hi there Keego_and_Chil.

We found your cache **"K & C - 139 Roeland's Whim"** at 11:23:00 AM today. This was our 23rd cache find today & this one brings our total find count to 15272.

Today's cache run started off by Ian nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site. Then we took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. (Which turned out to be a series - very sneaky choice Ian).

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route, some were where we thought they were, and some we had to search around for a little while. At the end of the day we found 26 caches today & DNF'd 2. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

We awarded this cache a favourite point for the ingenious construction.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** Container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards
Ian & Penny.

great weekend down in Bunbury, picked up some caches on the way down while there, and on the way back. thanks to everyone who caches we found. thanks to Roma308 for joining me on the weekend. good to catch up with some of my family members I havn't seen in a very long time. tftc, sl, tnln.

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

Another fun find with Just-Lookin on a geocaching trip.
*We soon located the container here!*
SL TFTC

Nice relic and very fitting well made container.

We looked for about 20 min but didn't find. We were on in under, eventually Geokids gave up. Might try again tomorrow to see if I can find.

Well constructed cache. Knew from reading other logs i was looking for something unusual and yep, I soon found it. A rewarding find. Tftc

Geo kids loved this find

TFTC

TFTC

pug002 found it 22/4/2016 on our trip south geocaching. TFTC Keego and Chil

This one had me up down climbing all over. Found it. TFTC

A good excuse to take a relaxed detour from the highway here
And by the Jinker, I set to finding me a cache
Except that I couldn't

There are only so many places to hide a cache on this thingy !! [:(!]
And here's me thinking a micro on a Leopard Tank was hard 'nuff to find [:o]

So after 10 minutes I was at a loss as to where this cache was

Butt !! Yeah like a tree butt !! Something was bugging me
Something that just didn't look right with this bit of bog standard, backyard engineering
With such a detailed search of this thingy done, and a good understanding of the engineering, what was that bit for ??

Oh !! It hides a cache

Well there yer go !!
Don't trust cachers who place caches on a whim

TFTC.

Put my hand on it about 5 times but still toke me ages! Tftc

Very crafty. TFTC

Very nice
Tricky tricky
On my saturday drive
TFTC

I found it. I left my mark. I replaced it and I left. TFTC.

Easy find. TFTC. Tor and Betsy, the travelling Westies roaming WA at present. We are from Oxenford near the Gold Coast in Queensland and thoroughly enjoying the West.

After a massive week of caching, I still came up short of my target of 300 caches for the month. I decided to duck out today and hopefully grab the 60 odd remaining caches before returning to the Pilbara and work later on in the week. Found it in the first place I looked. A fave point here for the container. TFTC Keego_and_Chil

Keego_and_Chil, I found your cache K & C - 139 Roeland's Whim on 21/09/2015 4:00 pm. This is my find #1930 and #61 today.

Almost gave up but one last look and it revealed itself. Fantastic camo

Great one

A quick 'see' but it took longer to 'find' - I had noted the container but ignored it looking for something more usual. SL and leaned a little bit along the way. Thanks to Keego and Chil for the cache.

Well hidden, took a bit to get it!

Pulled up this morning. Not a muggle in site. Was worried this may take some time but Jinta found it fairly quickly. Nice camo and a fav point from me.
Jinta29 and I packed the swags and headed down south for a couple of days. We stayed at Lake Stockton camp ground and now making our way hone.

Keego_and_Chil we found your cache K & C - 139 Roeland's Whim on 2015-07-04 at 10:14 am. This is our find #3402 and find# 13 today. TFTC.

Thankfully a nice quick find here and a nicely constructed container . A fave point from us [^]

Kyzabra and I were evicted by our respective loved ones and told to head off for a day or so. Well, how could we ever turn down an offer like that! After camping at Lake Stockton we headed back towards home and grabbed this one along the way.

Gotta love geo road-trips and i look forward to doing more exploring around this area.

Keego_and_Chil - jinta29 found your cache K & C - 139 Roeland's Whim on 4/07/2015 10:14 am. This is my find #3429 and find #12 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Woohoo !!! Found it !!! Nice hide, bit of work gone into it.

Nearly missed it! Great hide!! Tftc we loved it

I am terrible with camo caches so after 15 mins of poking and prodding and disturbing wasp I declare defeat

Headed back down to Bunbury to pick up the rest of the SWH Caches and a few more ... trying to reach that magic 1000.

Copy and pasting logs as there are a few!!

Thanks for the caches guys

We hate nano's on machinery, we can never find them, but this one we found and it was very clever camo in deed!!!

Have a favourite Keego and Chil!

Thx keego_and_Chill. Took me forever, clever.

TFTC! Out for a weekend caching run to Bunbury with Cravo10 and ItsKate to complete the South West Highway trail, some Moneybox caches in Capel and of course as many others along the way. Thanks

Great camo have a fav

Doing the south west highway trail with barnzy12 and itskate today. The weather was amazing and made for a great day. Started at 6am in byford. Signed the logs in a few different variations from full names to first letters and date. Favourite point as this camo was fantastic
