Early morning find on our way to port hedland. Tftc

Nice and easy

Catching up on some late logs, now that I have time while travelling.

We are on the road travelling up through central Australia and down the coast of W.A. I hope to grab a few caches along the way.

Stopped off for a quick find

Thanks for placing this cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can enjoy finding it.

Great place to go

Found this cache along with ilook4geo but trouble getting the rusted lid off. Once that was done the log was signed and all was replaced as found. Thanks for placing this cache go to Chan 5456.

Found this cache along with goingplaces2 and both are happy to log the find for another smiley on the map. This one was in the position exactly as described. TFTC.

A quick drive by.. except jumping the fence.


Next person will need their own writing implement

Sighted from fence. Lots of TB inside. Concealed a little more as was very exposed. Great spot along the highway.

Sorry for the late log - Found with my Mum TFTC

Sorting out a few forgotten logs - sorry for the delay, Thanks for another cache

Gate was padlocked but easy to climb over- cache just on the other side (unsure if we are meant to go over it now or not).
Took the geotag which excited our geocache kid! Left a key ring.

Tftc. Took the TB. Wassa

Quick find. We left a TB & a pathtag of our dear Mac. He would enjoy a bit of shade, under the tree. TFTC Chan 5456

Had an RDO today, so decided to hire a car and venture north from Hedland to see what I could find.
This was the last cache of my 840 klm day trip before i return the hire car to the airport … just in time
A quick find at this one, where i added my name to the logbook and returned as found.

TFTC and for showing me around the area Chan5456, really great places you have shown me around here today .. glad to finally get to visit them after driving past for the last 2 weeks

Quick visit, tftc!

An easy find Thankyou. I did have to find all of the contents of the tin again after the black spider ran over my finger. Don’t think he liked us disturbing his home….

On an Adventure North. We have hitched the caravan are are intending to find some sunshine and warm weather.

Travelling along Hwy 94 and Hwy 1, our destination is Broome, via Karijini NP, then the trip home is along the coast sampling the towns we have yet to visit.

Of course along the way we will be getting a cache of two ......... and lots more.

Quick visit and find

Still in Hedland and picking up a few geos between local jobs. It's my fav way to spend my spare time. TFTC

On the way from Darwin to Perth, the caches were a welcome stop.
Some could be found quickly, others I searched longer.
Thanks for hiding.

Found on our way from Broome to Perth. This was the first one TFTC and for showing us the place!

On my Road-trip from Broome to Perth I found this one. TFTC

Today our tour - which began in Perth, WA , and led us thru Western, Northern and Southern Australia back to Perth, was simply driving from Port Hedland to Broome.


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 'Chan 5456' for showing us this location, for the fun we had with '12 Mile' and the smiley. 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, prairie, desert or outback .

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.

Easy find tftc

Made a quick find as we did the scenic tour of South Hedland. Thanks Chan 5456

It truly is amazing what is right underneath your nose. I've driven past this site a couple of times and had no idea a whole community lived here!
Thankfully a cache was placed here so we have a great reason to stop.
Cache was found easily and placed back for the next modern day explorers!

Tin Looking a bit worse for wear, but it’s still there

Driving from Perth to my home town Kununurra, I decide to do cachings along highway. Spotted the cache and found it .TFTH

Today we travelled from Broome to Port Hedland and found this cache.

TFTC!

We are lucky to be travelling all of 2018. Left Geelong in January and headed up the middle to Darwin then to WA. We have love everything in WA so far, the Kimberley’s were amazing, now to to discover what the Pilbara has. We don’t what muggles see but we are taken to great finds thanks to geocaching. Into port hedland to restock supplies and cache

Good clue

Interesting area and a quick cache find. Found a 20c piece from 1981. Lots of beautiful galahs feeding here. TFTC

Another interesting little spot! Quick find!
TFTC

The Big Western Australia trip in 2018. Day 20. After Broome I continued South via Port Hedland to a riverside roadside stop at Yule River. Lots of Driving today.

On the east coast it seems mining is going on everywhere, over here the reality of things coming and going must be heartbreaking to those dependent on the activities. No problems with this cache.

Thanks.
