Found it. We replaced the paper, hopefully will be easier to get out now. The old log paper was full.Cheers and TFTC

We replaced paper. Log was stuck and full.Cheers

A bit high for my height but its manageable?!

Log is notoriously stuck inside please next cached right our name inside if possible..

??

Needed the hint. Got it

That was a great little hide. Get your brain thinking after a long drive. Love Roebourne.

* Found today as we headed towards Point Samson for a few nights. Log was full fos signed on top of another. For those who follow be aware that the terrain is wrong - at least a 2. Left a log removal helper. TFTC

Log book is full and needs replacing

Quick find but fingers to big!

Height is an advantage in this game. Neat hide. tftc

Heading to Karratha for a job tomorrow morning. Stopped here and managed to find this one without too much trouble & devised a way to reach it. TFTC

Great type of cache. One of our favourites. Extraction difficult. Hubbie swears he will make one like this one day. Log getting fullish. TFTC

Good cache. Glad in tall.

What a view!

Quick stop on the way to coral coast. Tftc SaZy73

Thanks for the cache. Quick and easy find once we looked up!!

Karratha Day3
Arrived into town & have set up at one of the many caravan parks.
Today we headed out to Roebourne, Cossack Wickham & Port Sampson Region, wonderful views of the sea & port areas
This is an amazing area to explore, we found a variety of cahes.
Thankyou to the CO's for hiding this cache

Found on a very windy day while making a quick rest stop thanks

All good thanks 1564

Thanks again, Matthew Supertramp, for your cache. It was a quick spot, but not a quick retrieve. We really think that the terrain rating of the cache should be upped to a T2, this is not a T1.5 cache.

Quick easy find TFTC

Stayed over night in pt Samson, enjoyed the peaceful tranquillity. Have been travelling north collecting a few caches on the way. Really enjoying the history of the area.

Found it

I love this one. Needed tweezers TFTC step up step down step up step down…..

Found it

Found it woohoo

Travelling from Port Headland to Karratha caching along the way. A quick find, tftc!

On my way to Perth via Broome with a few detours for LGAs. TFTC.
Nice stop and quick find. Used a clip I found on the ground to get log out.

I wasn't carrying a ladder to even begin to search for this NOT 1.5T cache. Terrain needs to be accurate, so those not capable of pulling themselves up posts don't bother stopping. Appears 4T to me.

Terrain needs correction. Not 1.5T. More likely 4T.

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.Had the bring hubby back as I couldnt reach it. Must agree it isnt a 1.5 terrain.Thanks for placing this cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can enjoy finding it.

Fun to find, almost gave up but had one last look abd spotted it. Took a bit of effort to grab. Needed tweezers to get the log out

Had an RDO today, so grabbed a hire car for a days excursion down to Roebourne and Cossack.
A quick find here after reading a few logs and perusing the structure. A bit of a step-up to retrieve, and I was on my way again.

TFTC Matthew Supertramp [^]

Day 23 of the long road trip from Perth to the Townsville Mega via the southern states and then back to Perth again via the northern part of Australia.

Today was basically from South Hedland along the main highway and up to Exmouth.

This cache found without problems. The log was signed and the cache returned as it was found.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for cachers to find.

Ltf

Great fun searching

Great find, tough to get log out and slippery

Sorry for the late log - Found with my Mum TFTC

Frustrating but worth it, I need to read logs better before I attempt quick park and grabs - my fault for not residing

Very clever, Thankyou

Acrobatics and local TOTT aided in retrieving and logging this cache!!

Don't know about the T1.5 , bo problems for us but others might struggle. TFTC!

Quick find(just the one). TFTC Matthew Supertramp

Had to climb !

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.

Yes, another kimberly cache offf the list

Thanks Matthew Supertramp for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 15:30:00. This was my Find 27 for today out of a Total number of 50 Finds and 4 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 5381.

Nice find

A very easy find as I read the log TFTC

It took us awhile but we found it

Found both, relatively easy find.

Quick find today TFTC

Nice quick find tftc... our most northern one

Wandered around the obvious structure and couldn't see it, so started looking under a bunch of rocks in a nearby tyre. It was only after moving half a quarry that I checked the hint. Thankfully the geo-husband was tall enough to reach, because I wouldn't have been able to on my own! While hubby went back to the car to get a pair of pliers to help remove the log, I noticed a second cache lying on the ground nearby. Same as the hidden one, but the log hadn't been signed since 2019. Signed both, and placed both back....one where we found the original, the other on the opposite end.

Thanks

Gotcha

Being a shorty, this was a challenge

Happy New Year

On our way home from Marble Bar with axell33 after an unexpected extended stay due to flooding, we took the coast all the way. Stopping to cache and stretch along the way, which made this one an ideal stop! Thanks for the cache, love this camo and greetings from Baldivis.

Finally free of Marble Bar after being flooded in for over a week, we stopped to grab this one as we cache our way home. We parked nearby and Leega spotted the cache as we arrived at gz. We quickly added our names to your log and returned your cache back to where it belongs. Now on to the next one. TFTC Matthew Supertramp.

It took us a little longer to find than was probably necessary but we got there in the end. Thankfully my husband is 6'4 so no climbing was required. It was a nice 42degrees here today while we searched. Thanks for giving us a reason to stop.

Nice cache not for shorter ones tftc

Nice easy find!

Thanks for placing

New cache placed

Nice quick find and leg stretch point. TFTC

I climbed and I conquered!!!! The cache had no log inside, so rolled up a bit of paper.

TFTC Matt S

Found

Found site, but flies, ants and not wanting to climb put me off the reward!

A quick find while on our way to Karratha.TFTC

We spotted the camo when we arrived at gz however the terrain rating should be a 2 as there is no way it can be reached without climbing. Thanks Matthew Supertramp

Me and gf searched for ages, never found it. Climbed right to the very top of the sign which was abit of fun tho.

Quick find with lots of flies

Nearly came unscrewed with this one tyfc.

I am currently visiting Wickham/Roebourne on a geocaching trip
Today is my last day in Wickham/Roebourne
I have had a busy morning doing some housekeeping getting ready for my flight home tomorrow morning
First was a load of washing and while I was waiting for that I ducked out to grab a few caches around town I had not got to yet
The third one on the list was a bit more of a drive
There is a new shelter and information boards here
The cache was an easy find in the second spot I looked thanks to the hint
Getting to the container was a challenge but I was able to retrieve and replace it without any dramas
Some of the passing traffic may have been curious as to what I was up to, Ha Ha
I picked up some trash while here and placed in the bin a short distance away, sigh !
The large bill board in the cache page background has also changed

Bit cache starved until now and Whim Creek so I stopped here for a clamber, a slip and a find. All good.

Found it after a few minutes of looking hubby retrieved it . We have a similar cache back in Tassie. All is good with the cache on a TFTC

Quick park and grab with use of hint whilst coming into town for supplies
Thanks for the cache

Wow, that was one of the best geocaches that we’ve found, great idea. If hadn’t read hint wouldn’t of found it .

Day 41 of The Northern Adventure, and now it is just megawat60 and me. I pointed, he retreived. And as noted by previous cachers, the wind makes an interesting noise. TFTC!

Out with m4yb after completing the GRR, we are now slowly heading home getting a cache or 3 on the way. She spotted it and o grabbed it so a nice joint effort.
Thanks for the hide & smiley

Had fun replacing this one, much to the amusement of my two muggle friends. TFTC

In Port Hedland for work for the weekend, I am taking the opportunity to grab a few caches in town and out towards Karratha to cross of another 2 LGAs.

A nice way to hide this type of container. Loved the sound of the wind.


Matthew Supertramp SVKR_WA found your cache The Road to Roebourne today at 14:16:51 17 Jun 2018.

I am happy to have found it and thank you for placing it and adding to this great game.

This find brings my find count to 3042

A quick grab as we head north. Interesting sound when the wind is blowing TFTC

Tricky little one but saw it eventually!
TFTC

Found it after short search. TFTH

Day 8 of my trip from Perth, Exmouth ,port Samson to Newman ... I Thanks to all the COs for placing caches along my journey ......

Such a good little find

We are heading south today and stopped to grab this cache on the way.

The cache was found quickly but reaching it required some lateral thinking!

Found my first geocache on road trip down to perth with Jonson.

Found in the company of Cannongobang on a road trip from hedland to perth...he was very excited as was his first cache ..thanks to the C O for the cache..

Found on a day trip from Karratha. Beware of the angry black ants running arojnd this area. They bite, and are hard to brush off your socks

Quick drive by. SL TFTC

Nice quick find

After camping at De Gray River free camp last night we were heading to Dampier caching along the aim and thought that we would drop into Port Headland to see how it has changed since our last visit.

The gold booms in different areas of Australia certainly helped to make this land and open up the country but once the gold runs out some towns fade out to nothing, others continue to grow with different industries and some like this one shrink down and still remain as a remembrance of their former glory days. For us this cache was like chasing gold, always elusive but great when you find it. We almost gave up on this one when Diane spotted something so we wandered back to the car to get a bit of equipment to make it easier and not long after that we were adding our name to the log.

Thanks Matthew Supertramp for the cache and for the history of this town.

I had to take a run down to Karratha from Port Hedland today and picked up some of the easier caches on my way, I thought I'd leave the harder ones for another day. I found this one after a bit of a search at 10:40 this morning. Coordinates were fairly close and the hint helped. I tried to put some paper into the cache, but it really needs a nano-roll, because that's all that would fit, so I had to be content with a "photo-log" I tucked the cache back where I found it. TNLN took photo TFTC Matthew Supertramp.

Cache is getting a bit full with paper. Needs a refresh with new paper

Found GZ and was happily standing there looking for an indication of the actual container, when the multitude of large ants running on the shoes and up the legs said that it was not a good idea to accidentally stand on an ants nest. Then a very lively cacher's unhappy dance followed. That was sorted and the cache was retrieved by geo hubby. Thanks got to Matthew Supertramp for this cache placement.

Day six of Barnzy12 and Cravo10 adventure to the Northwest of WA, filling out boots with LGAs, rare DT, old caches, and good old fashioned red dirt!

Today we travelled from Karratha to Port Hedland via Cossack, Roebourne, Whim Creek, south hedland and various other detours along the way.

We started the day retracing our steps from the night before going out to Roebourne before turning off to Cossack to complete the three awesome multis out that way and a few other caches before turning back to Roebourne to continue towards Hedland.

We continued along the highway collecting all bar one of the smileys along the way, which was a DNF and one was unable to be reached in our 4wd. We pulled into whim creek, just to check out the pub, ended up having a beer whilst there, and a quick game of pool, we even had a national celebrity turn up in the form of Pauline Hanson and her entourage who had stopped in to get a drink and pose for photos with locals, which was most surprising.

We continued into Port Hedland and really hit our straps here collecting urban cache after urban cache making up bucket loads of time that we lost with one cacher enjoying a snooze in this morning!

Huge day again with 25 plus caches reeled in and another LGA picked up along with some older caches too! Thanks to the local COs we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly today!
