Just don’t get to Dunsborough or do geocaching as much as we like these days. I hope someone places a new one or takes over the co-ords!
Had to revert to reading the comments but still no luck. Based on them I believe that I was close and stuck my hand in a number of spots that reflected the need for bravery but a big dnf for me on this one.
Nice quick find. We placed a new piece of paper in the cache.
TFTC sugarygoodness & dnanx this is find # 7661 for us.

The “be brave” comments from others made it a fast find. But then I had to go back and look for my car keys which had fallen out of my pocket... TFTC
A surprising quick find, but only because it was daughter 1 that found it. She quickly ran away screaming as she brushed a spider web, but there is nothing to fear.
Very sneaky.

The mostly-non-geocaching wife needed to get some work done today, so wanted to visit the library. As we were too early, she suggested finding a cache - no way I was going to say no to that!
Headed down south for a birthday bash and after doing some shopping nearby I headed here for what I hoped was a quick find... took a bit longer than expected but I got there in the end, TFTC.
Hi, I’m Cirrus_WA but you may know me as CJ_252. Just a small change to my user name to take my actual name out of it.
I look forward to catching up soon at an event or in the field.

Staying with a one friends less than a 40 second walk away. introduced them to geocaching with this cave and they lived t! Off to do more on the beach! Thanks for the cache!
This one give us all sorts of trouble as we just couldn’t lay our eyes on it. The kids quickly lost hope and headed off down to the beach which probably made the search a little easier to be honest 
I eventually felt the container before saw it and BOY was i happy
. Added our name to the log, rehid the cache and gathered the kids from afar 
TFTC sugarygoodness ... all good here

Hi there sugarygoodness - today was an opportunity to introduce JediahC to CITO caching. This cache was a quick find after we attended the CITO at Eagle Bay. The container and log are in good condition - SL. Thanks to sugarygoodness for this cache - our find #5951.
Today was a long day! [)] Started at 5:30am packing up the tent, before making head way on some Dunsborough caches at 6am. Had brekky at the Dunsborough Bakery, pigging out on not one, but two jam and cream donuts 
, before I swung by the hall to attend the puzzle 101 sesh. Following the sesh, after quick visit to Big Rock, I lead the convoy of vehicles stopping at caches to the CITO. Eventually we trashed out and I ducked into Busso for some foreshore fish and chips, before making the journey back to Perth. On the drive back I swung via a few caches in the Ludlow State Forest - although I must say, Ross' mosquitos were rampant! [:(!] Eventually made it back to the big smoke by 8pm.
Quick find once the muggle dumping his rubbish in the bin left. Cheers sugarygoodness & dnanx!

Mrs Crackers was over with maccamob's offer of a back seat to attend the WAGB event.
After registering, picking up our goodies and saying hello to a few teams that up until now we only knew their names from their caches we decided to go and tackle the Wa Challenge series as both teams really enjoy challenge caches and we both qualified for all of them.
We enjoyed the drive around the area admiring all the beautiful homes amongst the bush land as we picked up the caches with quite a variety of hides.
There was still time before we had to head back to the hall for dinner so of course we decided to look for some more caches and this one was the next one on the list.
This one had us going in circles and we had to resort to the phone a friend option but it still did take us awhile before we located the very well hidden cache and were able to add our name to the log.
Thanks for the cache.

Found by Mary & David at 1510. This took us ages. Had to PAF eventually for a hintette. Met a lovely couple on their bikes who knew a little about caching as their son is a cacher. Our thanks to sugarygoodness.
We had quite an extensive search for this one when parkacruz turned up and found it reasonably quickly. Found with mudbuzzie while at WAGB18 TFTC 
Out with Luna Maya this afternoon looking for another cache when met some fellow cachers Felix 2. Lovely to meet some other cachers i havent met before. Between all of us, cache finally found and log signed. TFTC.
Travelling Australia since March 2014 now we are in the west for a visit with family.
We arrived in Marybrook yesterday and set up camp ready for a busy weekend. Chatted the night away to our caching neighbours! With a late start this morning we headed out the gate after 10.30am and bumped into Baby and Mrs Gopher so a 10minute chat in the driveway before we headed off. [:o)]
A fun day out and about caching and just love bumping into other caching teams. We caught up with dimor, Rach2, Jacaro44, LunaMaya and LadyMooMoo whilst on the trails today.
Glad the rain held off and hope tomorrow turns out nice also.

We were here and there not sure where GZ might be. Then Felix11 came to the rescue. So good to see them again. The sneaky cache found. SL TFTC
Out with m4yb and back in the Busso/Dunsborough area again.
This one took some time with so many possible spots, but I got it in the end.
Thanks for the hide and smiley

Have arrived in Busselton- Dunsborough, set up and now checking out the closest caches.
Third find here and this one took a while: I was in the middle of a PAF when megawat60 found it all by himself. TFTC!

Suscoe travelled along the coast to Dunsborough today for a bit of caching.
We had sorted out some challenge puzzles and we thought we would pick up a few traditionals along the way.
Thanks to sugarygoodness & dnanx for this hide.

Was down near Dunsborough, doing some Caching when I noticed there was a couple of ftfs, rise from my messages. So we stopped what we were doing, and headed over to them to find Barnzy12 had already beaten us, besides 1. One was better than none. Thanks to everyone for placing these caches for everyone to find.
Firstly, apologies for the lateness in logging.
Despite my tardiness, you can be assured I enjoyed each and every cache found and not found.
Apologies if this is a generic log, my memory is good, but not that good.
This was found on a great trip to WA from Vic
Thanks

Found it, took a bit of looking, lots of hidey holes, tftc, needs new log, I signed old receipt and left that
Thought this one would be tough with the difficulty rating but found it easier than I thought. We must be getting the caching eye! TFTC
Had to explain to mugglele what we were doing all self conscious now so had to call a DNF. Tx for potential cache. Regards Canadian contingent
Like these ones that are a bit more difficult to find! Quiet here today so able we to have a good search TFTC
Had a search for this one but some heavy rain made us return to the car. Maybe next time
We have been out and about the last couple of weeks and have grabbed a few caches along the way, hence some of these logs are a bit late, so apologies for that. It is always good to take a break and grab some caches 
Thanks for the cache sugarygoodness [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry
.
This was find # 2 of 2
and 0 
today giving us a total cache count of 3362.

I searched around about 15 trees. Found nothing. 
I was surprised that ground zero is so close to the car park, BBQ, etc... when there are lots of other areas nearby that are more or less muggle-free.

tftc sugarygoodness this was a very quick find while on bike ride from bussleton to dunsborough and back
This took much longer than it should have! Had a dnf here last year, maybe the cache wasn't there then? As sure checked this spot before.
