Out of business.
All future logs will be deleted

Lovely stop on our way further south. Will come back to investigate the museum another time. TFTC Only one space left on the log and then it will need replacing. Janale Girls

on way to mandurah and thought we would stop in at this little town first.tftc

Day caching with S'n'N in Mandurah but decided to get some caches on the way. Easy find TFTC

Searched for ages but only found what could have been the remnants of the cache but can't say for sure. But a dnf here for us today.

We stopped here before but about 25 pair of eyes were watching us from the nearby bar. Today we stopped right behind a bus of "oldies" but they were only interested in their lunch I guess so we did a quick search and signed the log which is nearly full now. TFTC Allied Pranksters.

A beautiful township, will come back and explore some more oneday, thank you for showing me a new place

Kids found this one to their delight tftc

Quick find - good job as my fellow charity bike riders were just about to leave. The log may be a bit untidy as I had 3 seconds to write and roll it up! TFTC!

An easy find

TFTC

I have never driven through yarloop. Thanks for bringing me here.

My geoson found this one in an instant. Tftc

Heading to Busselton for work and had grand plans to complete Richlinks " WA Rural Towns Challenge GC4GK4Q" and noticing I required a further 14 towns to meet the requirements. I planned my assault to grab 1 cache from every town between byford and Busselton along the hwy to meet the requirements

Made some great finds with the odd DNF but got #14 in Capel

Sorry to the other travellers dodging this crazy man stopping every 10 kms or so


Gps had me wandering but snaffled this one relatively quickly. Hope to be back a grab the rest of the series as it has been on my to do list for to long

A nice quick find on a day of caching.
Sneaky little thing!

Headed back down to Bunbury to pick up the rest of the SWH Caches and a few more ... trying to reach that magic 1000.

Copy and pasting logs as there are a few!!

Thanks for the caches guys

Thx Allied Pranksters. Blends in so well.

Stopped here to have a look but at the neighboring property was a party going on and all eyes went our direction so we decided to leave it for the next time.

Mr Swaggie loves this place, unfortunately no time to visit the museum today! Thanks Allied Pranksters!

A nice quick find here [^] had a bit of trouble rolling the log though got there in the end and moved on

Allied Pranksters - jinta29 found your cache AP 393 The Blacksmith on 2014-11-11 at 10:31 am. This is find #2283 for us! TFTC and thanks for bringing us here.

Doing the south west highway trail with barnzy12 and itskate today. The weather was amazing and made for a great day. Started at 6am in byford. Signed the logs in a few different variations from full names to first letters and date.

TFTC! Out for a weekend caching run to Bunbury with Cravo10 and ItsKate to complete the South West Highway trail, some Moneybox caches in Capel and of course as many others along the way. Thanks

Out with Barnzy12 and Cravo10 on this beautiful Saturday on a long hunt from Byford to Bunbury, what an amazing day. Tftc

Another DNF! We thought we thoroughly searched all the limited options, but obviously not!

Find #: 3197
Date: Sat 18 Oct 2014
Time: 09 58 AM
Today we bade farewell to our cabin at the Coogee Caravan Park, and moved into our cabin at the Margaret River Tourist Park.
On the trip down, we managed to make a few finds.
Along the way we found 10 caches of which this was the 3rd.
We're getting pretty good at finding nanos on this trip to Perth and environs.
This was a good one as hiding places were limited.
Pam's grandparents lived in Yarloop back in the early 1900s, so it was a very interesting visit here for her.
The ladies in the museum and information centre were very helpful.
Thanks for placing this cache Allied Pranksters

On our way down to bunbury for another day of caching... oohyeh had already found this cache but she stopped so I could make the find TFTC

TFTC

Tftc. SL. Found while visiting the museum with LRCWA.

Ah, the smell of the forge smoke and the ring of the hammer on the anvil. Sadly very much a thing of the past. The smithy's nano was found and the log signed. We reckoned this old fella needed a hat though!
TFTC pranksters.

We all were there looking at GZ for quite some time before Mrs W's keem eyes spotted this tiny micro,TFTC guys

Left the Mandurah area, to continue south on our trip around Australia.
After picking up a few caches in Yarloop, we headed for Harvey for an overnight stay.
Nano blended in well, but a quick find.
Thanks for the cache, Allied Pranksters.

Not a soul to be seen. TFTC

out with the geohubby for a few hours of caching before it gets to hot. We made a quick find here as there was no muggles about TFTC Allied Pranksters

Keego and Chil kindly replaced the log.
Thank you

While doing some maintenance on the SWH we decided to scout this one out. A quick find, we replaced the log, a lovely piece of art, SL TFTC AP

The log book is full and needs to be changed so sadily i didn't get to write my name in there.

Log book full

Needs new log book. The log book was full so we did't get to write our name in the log book. TFTC

Took a little drive down to Harvey with the geodaughter today. Had a lovely chat with the lady at the craft shop before making a quick find. Well I found plenty of room to write my name on the log sheet?!

TFTC

Colour of nano helped hide it but so did the spider who had set up a complex web which included the nano. Moved the spider but he started to come back once I replaced nano. I usually hate looking for a nano but I liked this one. TFTC

Lots of spider webs on the blacksmith. SL TFTC

TFTH

Find no 20. Time for a lunch break since we are here. TFTC.

Great sculpture, easy find. Spending a day of caching with my geo son-in-law, one half of intrepidcrew. We were hoping to get some lunch here but the café was shut, O well, moving on. TFTC.

Easy find for Cody

Loved structure - good memory in old times. Signed the log. Thanks AP.

Day 31. The sky was looking bluish, and I decided to temp my fate on the bike. The weather held up and I managed to get my caches for the final day of this Souvenir Month.

A nice piece of art work

Thanks for the cache Allied Pranksters [^]


This is my find number 2612

Heading south for Medieval Festival... with goddaughter.. TFTC

Quick find with kekemo. TFTC

As I stopped I noticed a few locals on the nearby shop verandah but thankfully a freight train came along and they were watching it so I made a quick grab , sign and return before the train was out of sight
TFTC

Headed out today with Amyrall and Geology boy to pick up the recently released additions to the SWH series, and also some surrounding caches along with planting a few new ones.
Was a great day out and we had a 100% find rate. Very pleasing.
Having just finished the SWH section, decided to pick up some more nearby.
This was a quick park and grab with Geology boy & Amyrall acting the photographers whilst I signed the log in the car.

TFTH Allied Pranketrs

Out for a planned quick dash and (hopefully) grab with Geology boy and Kyzabra.
What resulted was a cruise down the highway looking and luckily finding everything we stopped for!
Started our run at Pinjarra heading south with priority being the SWH series but also any others that were en route as well.
When arriving at GZ we were among cars and being watched from the nearby verandah before we even parked. A quick plan was hatched with Geology Boy on the camera, Kyzabra staying in the car to sign after I made the grab. Smoothly I inspected the item at GZ and made the grab before passing through the window for it to be signed. I went for a short wander to divert attention from the car then returned to replace as verandah watchers moved away. Mission accomplished!
This was an easy find for us today and keen to finish this little series too!
Log was signed and replaced and we were back on our way.
Thanks for causing us to come and search!

Found @ 12:13!

Find #22 on a caching day with 'Amryall' and 'Kyzabra' to complete some of the caches along the South Western Highway!

Cache was an easy find by 'Amryall' but we had to plan the search and retrieval well as there were a couple of muggles chatting and staring directly at us!

'Kyzabra' stayed in the car, I got out my big camera to look like a tourist/photographer and 'Amryall' acted the part of a person hugely enthusiastic about examining artworks close up...!

Once 'Amryall' made the retrieval, the cache was passed to 'Kyzabra' to sign the log on our behalf in the car while we took photos and looked at the various things nearby...

When he was done, the cache was passed back to 'Amryall' who returned it to the original location. At this point, the muggles turned around and re-entered the building!

TFTC!

Quick find on a wet day out caching. TFTC. HJ55

Took a run from Roleystone to Harvey today with Happy jacks55 to conduct some business but more importantly to find a cache or two and reduce our list of the SWH series to find. We found the caches between rain showers and achieved an acceptable result under the circumstances.

Went into Yarloop, though that wasn't planned as Mrs WA K TEAM had visited as a teenager & Mrs Aus Vrede had spent some work time there & we we were both pleasantly surprised at how well kept the town is. Quick find of the cache but no coffee available and we were needing one.

Out enjoying a beautiful sunny winter's afternoon with AUS Vrede doing some cache maintenance and finding a few caches along the SW Highway.

We took a quick tour around Yarloop to revive some memories for a couple of the team members before stopping for this cache and hoping for a coffee at the nearby cafe. Found and signed the cache but lucked out on the coffee

Thanks for the cache Allied Pranksters [^]

Heading home from Myalup but we decided to find a cache in Harvey to help us with the August Challenge. Then we remembered some caches we were supposed to find on the way down but forgot.

So zigzagging our way back Forrest Highway we came across this cache and just had to stop. Nobody about today.

TFTC Allied Pranksters

rode down from the hwy for a swift find on an interesting bit of art

Apologies in advance for a copy/paste log, but I have very limited internet access, and sooo many logs to catch up on after an energetic 3 days of just caching!
Set off a day early to go to the WA goes BIG Event, on a very blustery, cold and wet day, caching as I went, many of the hide sites ankle deep in water! However with some soldiering on, it was a remarkably successful day, dodging most of the worst downpours, and ended up in Busselton cold, muddy, wet through, but cache happy!
Thanks for this cache Allied Pranksters.

This was our special weekend away to attend Wa Goes Big in 2013 - hosted by Felix11. As well an opportunity for Mr Luna Maya & myself to celebrate Our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We travelled south along the SWH. Caching in rain & even hail. All good had a great time.SL TFTC Allied Pranksters

Out today on a mission - to reach the milestone of 3000 finds. Headed east, then south, just for a change of pace. Quick find here, and not a muggle in sight. The caching gods are smiling on me. Thanks Allied Pranksters

Didn't find a cameo?? Just a black nano. Thanks AP

Tried again for this one and finally found the little sucker! Must be getting better at this! TFTC.

Dimor signed the log and didn't add me what was she thinking. Anyway next time we go past which will be soon. I'll sign it. TFTC

Out on a caching run Bunbury to Waroona with freebkids and TomatoesRule and picking up some caches along the way.

This one wasn't like this the other week when I couldn't find it. Got out of the car and 'bingo' there it was as plain as day in two seconds flat . Thought the hint would make it easier but didn't need it. If this is meant to be camo'd then it isn't

TFTC.

I forgot to add TomatoesRule to the log. I was having a grey moment at the time (probably due to 3hrs sleep) and she was being ever so quiet which is unusual while out caching. Sorry.
Also think I was in shock of three quick finds that I thought would take a bit longer

A quick find on my outing with Dimor TFTC

7049 + 846 = 7895. Back in the West for work again and with some time for Caching !

Another bonus cache find while finishing the SWH series. I couldn't help but drive in for this one. An interesting area to drive around. A quick stop and find. Now off to the next one.

Thanks again Allied Pranksters - A Favourite Point from me !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Chwiliwr and I went out for a day of caching and called in to find this cache on our journey south. Couldn't see how anybody could miss the cache as we found it without problems. Was another *FTF* for today.

Thanks Allied Pranksters for the cache.

Thanks Allied Pranksters for the cache.

Tested my wife out on this one and she could not find it until I showed her.
I have added a hint.

Found the gentleman in question and went over him with a fine tooth comb, I think a muggles taxed it already!

Couldn't find after a quick search of the structures there. Had to get home so muggle partner could get some sleep before shift work. I was wondering if it had already gone awol
