Possum Patch Abbey, Western Australia, Australia

Time to go. Seems to have been having a few problems for a little while now.

Lots of mossies but no cache

hmmm

No luck even with our 8 man entourage nice little place though, watch out for the mozzies

I never new that this reserve was there.
Whilst I didn't find the cache it was great to visit the Reserve.

A lot of logs and heaps of hidy holes in the area around GZ but nothing found. Tfth.

No luck with this one.... Looks like there's been activity around the area either with white ants or Muggles. Couldn't find it even after an extensive search of the area. Awesome park though! If I was a possum I'd want to live here! Will try again next time we are down here!

Easy find, swapped some treasures

I found this log laying out in the open. I did not have a suitable container to replace it when I was driving by, so asked a friend (Elfpacker) who lives nearby to help fix the cache. All located and replaced he tells me

Gps was playing up so used satellite.easy find
Tftc

Great spot . Found it .

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Cute spot

Nice spot, trackable taken. Another find with Nellimag n Canookers tfth

And the red hearing

We used to live across the road from this cache and always wondered why people were poking around in the peppermints on weekends.
Apparently this reserve is home to around 13 ringtail possums.

Took a little while to find, so many spots to hide but in the end it was the most obvious spot
Thanks for showing us this great little forest which we would never have come across otherwise.

Found with SeabreezeOZ, TFTC

Unusual spot in suburbia!

First day in Busselton with BettyBoo3747.
Lovely weather, and a collection of good sized and interesting caches.
An interesting little park. Luckily the local cats can't open the gate otherwise they could get into the enclosure!
Great sized cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 5901. Robmc and I arrived here yesterday and this is our first full day caching around the area. So lovely to have mild weather and blue skies. It is going to be a good day!

A nice peaceful park in this new suburb. We were surprised to see such a large cache here. Great. The listed TB is no longer here - gather it escaped to greener pastures a long time ago. I did leave one of my Steampunk Mask Pathtags here.

Thanks FelixII

Had a weekend down in Busselton and the Muggle-Wife says to the geo-kids "Lets take Dad out caching".

I didnt need to be asked twice. Kit ready to go and off we went.

We parked the geo-car at the gate and wandered in.
This was a nice quick find by geoson. Signed the log and headed off.

TFTH Felix II

In Busselton for a couple of nights so we are adding to our collection here. We debated whether the possums would really live here but by the abundance of possum poo on the path there must be a large colony in residence. Points to the developers for keeping this area of trees.

Good spot. Nice cache. Nice introductory cache for some newbies. TFTC

Nice spot. No trackable though despite it being listed as here?!?!

This was our 9th cache find in a caching run of 33 Finds & 0 DNFs today.
We found it at 08:27 so this now makes our total find count 7825.

Another day out caching with The Drovers. We made an early start so we could retrieve a few before the weather warms up too much.
A nice, quick find.
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Around 2 metres.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape, but the listed trackable "Clipper Peak (UT)" Green Jeep Travel Bug" is not in the cache.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks FelixII for the hunt today.

Our first day out in Busselton, with Ian and Penny, to pick up a few caches.
Headed down the coast and worked our way back towards the caravan.
We were pleased to find a good variety of caches and hides.
This cache was well hidden and in good condition.
Many thanks for the cache, FelixII.

Decided to break up the long trip back to Perth with a few caches.

A little ginger ninja was excited to find this one. Great for the kids .

TFTC TB 'Clipper Peak UT' wasn't in this location

TFTC. Really nice!

Found it!! Beautiful at 6am with my two boys!

Tftc

never knew this was here thanks for bringing us tftc tnln

TFTC Great challenge. Love free space in towns. Thank you.

It's an official cache.

It's easy as lovely terrain

Log it it's easy to find

What a lovely idea and little spot. Shame it's not bigger but at least it's something since we are destroying there habitats at an alarming rate.

Glad I wasn't the only one having a gps that was taking them in circles . It did take longer than it should have but finally got there in the end.


Find 2/18 and no dnf for my Busselton caching run today

TFTC and bringing us to this little place of possum paradise

Seemed to take a little longer than it should have for a regular size cache in this setting, blame it on the trees for putting the GPS out just a little. Thanks.

Nice cache. Went to one side but noticed it was on the other. TFTC

Find #325. Out on a caching run around the Busselton area!

This was the first find of today. On arrival my GPSr too me to a tree and after 5 minutes of searching it took me to another tree and just as I was about to search that tree a very cute baby possum stuck it's head out to say hello! After a few poor phone photos my GPSr settled on a certain location which was the correct GZ and I made the find of a great cache! Everything was in tip top order! I have dropped TB Moon Man off for a stay with the possums after traveling with me to three different counties! Thanks FelixII for a wonderful cache in a wonderful location!

Found it. Nice beautiful walk through the reserve. Thankyou

TFTC FelixII. Out doing a spot of caching with the grandkids, including JboyLaser, after school. We wndered through Sherwood Forest and eventually arrived at the Possum Park. Had no idea that this existed, so thanks for bringing us here FelixII. Grandpa made the find this time, yeh! Signed the log for us all.

we really like the cache guys!! top points for that!! awesome reserve to we have never seen anything like it!! tftc!!

Fun but tricky

LOVED IT

Nice hide in a part of Busselton we haven't seen before. TFTC plenty of mosi's.

A day of caching with rjm1 and found this together. Mossies are really bad here. Recommend insect spray before entering. TFTC FelixII

There are mosquitoes everywhere!! A great cache though and hint is definitely helpful. TFTC

It looks like all the possums are safely tucked away from this winter weather, not to be seen today. TFTC

Found with Geogypsy and Pood TFTC

found it last month, forgot to log visit, Lots of Mozzies TFTC

Sitting in Busso still waiting for our new wifi modem to arrive....10 days tomorrow with no internet connection
What should we do while we wait??? Find some more caches of course. Fortunately Busselton has plenty to keep us busy.

W were delighted to pick up an Urch pathtag for our efforts on this, our first find for the day.
Found ten fairly quickly this morning and now sitting in the town centre outside a cafe with free internet starting to log some finds.

Thanks Felixll for another nice hide. If I were a possum I'd be happy to live in this patch. [^][^]

Last cache for the day. Not a possum in sight. Tftc

Day three of a four day escape down this way for the events. Headed off early this morning, aiming to pick up a few caches, then picking up breakfast at the renowned Dunsborough Bakery. Ham and cheese croissant, followed by apricot danish. Yummy!! Quick find at this one. Loved the little sanctuary too. Grabbed the tb while we were there. Thanks FelixII

Grabbing a couple of caches b4 cito event. Not much rubbish around here! Swapped a dinosaur & toy for cute guide dog toy our 3yo will love. No TBs here, even tho some listed. TFTC!

The sun has come up on

Found with sugarygoodness. Picked a few items of trash for CITO but for the most part, the area is pristine. Tftc

What a lovely spot to find a cache. Thanks for taking us there.

At Busselton for WA Goes Big in 2013 event. What else would you do at a caching event than find caches. We found em in Busselton. TFTH

Got up early to catch up on some of the caches we missed from yesterday as we were leaving busselton in the afternoon....TFTC it was a quick find....meet up with Mistraluna here and had a quick chat....

A nice quick find through a trail of possum poo... Thanks for the cache FelixII.

Arrived at compound with Phoenix Fire, and was waiting for geoson to hobble over on his crutches, when urch arrived. Went in sort of together and we found without too much difficulty. Nice area and good idea for possums. TCTF TNLN

Stopped by for a quick find while returning from the Flash Mob event to the caravan park. Nice little park

Lovely reserve in middle of suburbia. Quick find with iluvtrekking. Thanks FelixII

Amazing what you miss in the dark, almost tripped over it!

We were wandering through the bush aimlessly with iphones and inadequate torches. The cache took a few minutes to uncover. Thanks FelixII.

Oops, forgot to drop geocoin.

Our first find for Sunday at 7:07am hoping for a big day if caching again left tb
