Nice easy find by my support crew while cycling the MundaBiddi. Have to say the tracks around here are the prettiest I have seen so far. TFTC.
We had 20 family members scouring the area after looking multiple times over the cache site, we didnt stop and eventually found it
As we were about to leave a friendly ranger sent us near the right spot. We were thrown by the previous "it's not magnetic" comments. Very well hidden!
Arrived here and knowing it was going to be close to the Ranger Station we fessed up what we were up to...the first Ranger had no idea what we were talking about but after telling the other Ranger we got a thumbs up and she proceeded to tell us where we needed to be roughly looking! Did not realise it was going to be so close to the Station but pazza spotted it instantly! We have one of these ourselves so not tricky.Thank you shayne'o for placing and maintaining Ranger Station for us and others to find and enjoy!
Another beautiful day in Dwellingup. Today is the second day for Taurus Six and I in this fabulous area as we make the most of the long weekend. Yesterday we focused north of Dwellingup , today we are focusing in the south around areas such as Plavins Pit, Etmilyn Siding , Nanga Brook and all around the Murray River area. There had been storms overnight so the bushland felt fresh , however just like yesterday it was very winding again with the trees really swaying and tree debris all around. It also feels quite humid with clouds brooding so we maybe in for more storms , there have certainly been a few sprinkles around. All in all though a great day for geocaching and exploring this fabulous area.This was our third cache find of the day around these fabulous back roads of Dwellingup . We parked up bought our ticket for the area and then set about searching, yes the rangers were friendly and helpful . A series of hot and colds soon had cache in hand . Wow what a busy place on a Sunday long weekend . Thanks for the cache .
We stopped past this morning after staying the night at Baden Powell campground with my geodaughter. While we were searching for this one, the rangers showed up and told us we were freeeeezing cold so we changed ends and soon came up with the clever hide.

Thanks shayne'o for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 17:08:00. This was my Find 9 for today out of a Total number of 9 Finds and 0 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I signed the log and returned the cache as I found it.
This find brings my total number of Finds to 5698.
Location is correct, although cheeky spot! Took us a few minutes to find it. TFTC
Thanks to the previous comments it was an easy find. Not magnetic, protected by wasps and about 6-7 metres off GPS coordinates.
Picked up while leaving Lane Pool after our camping trip.

Spent the night camping with friends at Lane Poole Reserve and grabbed this one on my departure. Had a fun game of hot and cold with the station attendant til I got to the hotspot Tftc shayn’o
We have tried for this one so many times and looked where it was today. I can't believe it was there and we didn't see it. It's not magnetic. The GPS did fine all the other times too. Will stay a mystery. TFTC
Finally found it after a few attempts, with help from the ranger. GPS was off by about 8-10 metres
TFTC having a great start to our school holidays. Heading back to Nanga bush camp. Stopped off in between the rain showers
I have seen this cache twice on the way home from mountain biking but GZ was always too busy.
Today, I come by claim a find to see it gone. I placed a temporary bison up high to keep this one going.

I was day camping at Nanga Brook today and although I stopped in here for a chat to the rangers on the way past, I opted to leave this one until I was heading home later in the day. In fact it was dark when I came back past here which meant the rangers had gone home and there was no-one around Needed a torch but had a good idea what I'd be looking for from the description - and after flashing the light around a couple of place I soon spotted exactly what I was looking for Nicely placed but no problems for me here today!

Had a couple of goes at finding this one, unfortunately though still no luck
Kept waiting for the Rangers to turn up so I could grab a clue

Couldn't find this one on the way in. Searched harder on the return for a success. TFTC.
Came down here for the day to check out camping areas.
Stopped here to grab the cache.
Thank you for placing this cache for us to find.

Third time looking for this but still no luck! No rangers around to give a hint either! Driving me nuts that we can’t find it!
Teamed up with mrs OOH YEH and Cravo10 to head down and pickup the last 3 LGA series caches that we were yet to find.
Whilst down there we pickup another couple of stragglers close to the road as we made our way back to Perth via Waroona.
Thanks again to the LGA team for placing the caches and the other local COs that put out some caches for our enjoyment. Thanks

Our church youth camp finished yesterday and I managed to leave behind our toaster...
So a chance to go back and grab a few caches that we drove right by arose (no I didn’t do so on purpose...)
Looked for ages - I think I should be paid as an assistant ranger as I kept helping visitors to the park that had no idea how things work...
Driving Mrs. D. Even came out to help and we eventually found it at the same time

Took a bit longer than it should have due to the volume of traffic at the kiosk buf I found it in the end. TFTC
First of three today. Found after a game of "hot and cold" with the Ranger. Thanks for the help! TFTC
Spent the log weekend as camp cooks for our churches youth camp at Nanga.
Before going for a swim in the river, I ducked over for a hunt. Took a few minutes but eventually spotted the hide. TFTC

Found it! And it was really hard because it was my very first ever geocaching adventure. But I'm sure it will get easier.
