Grabbed this one just as the sun set so there was no one around, signed the log, TFTC
Find 23 of 29 with fourteen DNFs on a day-long 30km bike ride around Geraldton with not a cloud in the sky. Many more DNFs than we would usually register, this is a tricky town! Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these caches.
Spent so long here it was crazy! Easy find, slow find.

We made a stroll along the beach, and on our way back we passed here and found it.

We came out here for a drive, just exploring really. We parked here to use the conveniences and were able to find this cache and a GCA virtual and webcam. A nice haul!
I sat down while a muggle wandered around a little distance off and snuck the cache out. The egg was enjoying reading the plaques and she didn't even notice [^]
Thanks Squash2

We had a good night here an in the mornig we found the cache for the 29. Feruary Souvenir. Thank you.
We were on a tour today off the Radiance of the Seas, and this was the first stop of the tour.
Once the GPS settled down this was an easy find.

An amazing and sad history of the lighthouse. Thanks for bringing us here, I have many hides like this one back home so was a quick find for us tonight. Great spot to watch a sunset too. TFTC!
It was a great trip along the west coast of Australia. There was a lot to discover and of course we also looked for caches. Some caches lured us to places that we would not have visited otherwise. Sometimes we were rewarded with a great view or a wonderful location. Some caches we discovered very quickly, others we searched longer and some we searched in vain. Now we are back home and think back to a wonderful time in West Australia with great experiences and a lot of caches we have logged. This tradi is one of them.
Thanks to all owners for hiding their caches. They made our time in Australia even more exciting. PePPer812

Found it on our way south from Broome to Perth when we made a stop in Geraldton, TFTC
From 23.09 until 24.11.2019 Stadibast and I spent our holidays in Australia.
During the first four weeks we drove with a camper van from Darwin to Perth along the West coast and its amazing national parks, in which we made several hiking tours.
After that we flew to the wonderful green Tasmania for a roundtrip lasting two weeks.
For the last three weeks we went back to the continent and followed the South-East-Coast from Melbourne to Sydney.
We had impressive nine weeks in Australia, in which we hiked through various national parks, visited interesting sights and met many friendly and helpful people.
Thanks to all owners for setting and maintaining their caches.

Today our tour - which began in Perth, WA , and led us thru Western, Northern and Southern Australia back to Perth, was from simply cruising around in Geraldton
.
On the way we came to some interesting locations. Here we searched, found and logged this Tradi-Cache.
Weather was good in the morning and it should even get better during the day.
Thanks to 'Squash2' for showing us this location and for the fun we had with 'Below the Beam'. The search here and today didn't take too much time, fortunately.
Greetings from Germany and we hope to see you soon in the forest.

Found during my half lap advanture from Adelaide. Container and log book in good condition. TFTC.
Arrived in town today after traversing over 15600kms on my AdVANture of a lifetime... Like every stopping point one needs to mark the place on the geomap if possible, and with so many in Geraldton to choose from I didn't mess about. This was a simple find while enjoying the coastal sunset. Cheers much Squash2.
Quick find, we enjoyed the miniature lighthouse shower more than the big one under construction. TFTC!

Found this one some time ago and bought friends back to see if they could find it too, but it has since been pinched

Heute: 1. Cache von total 4 Caches.
Nach der Abfahrt vom Campingplatz haben wir beim Leuchtturm angehalten und die Box sofort gefunden.

After leaving the campsite we stopped at the lighthouse and found the box immediately.

Mr OOH YEH was staying overnight in North Hampton so he left crazy early (about 1.30am) so he could get some caching in before he arrived there. He done really well with only a few DNFS which was good for Geraldton caches lol.. Thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches
We thought we had the spot but there was a couple in a vehicle watching us, so we were waiting for them to leave. Turns out they were also geocaching and waiting for us to leave. Found it together and discovered we lad lived in Canada’s high Arctic at the same the within 500m of each other. Small world! TFTC
Gale force winds howling down the beach sandblasting everyone and everything but what a marvelous place
Early this morning, I did a nice walk on the bike path and trying to do some geocaching, but it ws not a good day for caching...many DNF, many cache on non accessible area becaus it's close and few other cache seem missing...But this one is my only found
Had planned on riding this bike trail today and grabbing any caches near it but poor weather this morning had us changing our plans. Did get here late in the afternoon, on the bikes, and got this far before deciding that fading light was becoming a problem and we still had to ride back to our van. So made this the last one and luckily it was quickly found.
Grabbed a photo of the lighthouse while here too to meet the requirements for a GCA cache.
Thanks. Hopefully we will be able to continue our caching from this point tomorrow.

Our first full day in Geraldton.
Stopped off here early in the morning for a look around. Blowing a gale but a quick find. TFTC

Continuing our cache hunt north of Jurien on our way to the Murchison for Easter, happy to say we walked away with a smiley today, both on our faces and our profile TFTC
Found with great stealth right under the noses of some muggles who didn't notice a thing!
Have been in the Belair Gardens Caravan Park and made a little footwalk in the evening...and find this one. Thank you
This is the first cache we ever searched for and at that time we didnt find it. But today we had luck. Mr 7 found it without much difficultly. Great cache thanks
Like the recycled mint tin idea as a cache container. They seem water tight and tough.
phone had us at the wrong host object so resorted to the gps for an immediate find. Nice little hide here. Also, great to meet cache owner whilst caching on the other side of the city earlier in the day. TFTC, Squash2.
11.15am. Having admired the lighthouse, beach and Osprey we returned to the most likely spot and Mrs JF had almost immediate success.

Since son is home on his work break to house/dog sit and we got the rare go ahead to go away so it looks like another mini geo road trip it is
Let Home at 5.15am this morning which wasn't too bad tho didn't think muggle had it in him
Thought we'd check into accommodation and rest for a bit before starting some evening/night caching. A quick find by muggle
TFTC
All good with cache and replaced as found

This was a nice easy cache to find, once the muggles parked right in front of it had left. Other muggles were further away so were not such a problem. Sat down and completed the signing duties, before replacing cache into position. Our thanks go to Squash2 for placing this cache.
Cache had done a runner. However, it has now been replaced. Please be wary with this one, there are usually a lot of muggles around.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Stopped at this cache whilst on a roadtrip with Eliktrisiti. We didn't find as many caches in the Geraldton area as we had hoped for, and after being home for a week or so, I have decided that the motto I would adopt for these logs would be this: It isn't the destination that is important, it is the journey!
In a nutshell, we had fun and that is what it is all about. Great company, lots of interesting locations, good variety of caches, even got to meet one of the local geocachers while out and about, and of course, we came home with a whole swag of smileys.
This one was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. What should have been an easy find eluded us completely. Hopefully we will have better luck elsewhere...
PS Thanks for replacing this one so quickly Squash2

Wir sind zum ersten Mal in Australien unterwegs und sammeln gern mal die eine oder andere Dose, wie auch diese hier. Danke sagen wir allen Ownern für das Herführen und Pflegen.
Wie schon in anderen Ländern lassen wir uns durch Geocaching gerne an schöne Orte führenund danken den Owners für's Hegen und PflegenTFTC!
Beautiful day for an outing today. Not to hot not to cold. Great place to have a rest. And for the geo baby to find his first cache.

Travelling with a muggle friend... as she loves light houses, we came here. I was very pleased to find a traditional cache, too.
Thanks for the hide, Squash2!
Thanks for the hide, Squash2!
Last night we stand on the campground near Geraldton. Before we visit the City of Geraldton, we stop here and search for the cache. It is a nice place with a good view. TFTC
