I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore the cache, or any communication from the cache owner, TeamBastholm , requesting additional time, within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note, and it appears that the cache has been abandoned.

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 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

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

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.

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.

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

Out and about in Geraldton WA decided to do a few caches,
 
05-Aug-18
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.

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 Big GrinBig Grin
Let Home at 5.15am this morning which wasn't too bad tho didn't think muggle had it in him Razz

Thought we'd check into accommodation and rest for a bit before starting some evening/night caching. A quick find by muggle

TFTC Smile

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.

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
