Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
So far lately I have had 6 DNF's since November and one Maintenance Listing on a 1.5 difficulty cache so I am going to temporarily disable this cache until hopefully around May when the WA goes big even comes to Busselton.
Wife on a shopping trip in Perth so I have a day to myself to get out and find a cache or two. I don't think it is here. TFTH
Was down here this time last year and so now two DNFS here! Will check again in May at wa goes big in Busselton event!!
Nice hide in a nice, new housing estate.
We're currently doing the geo-tour of this lovely area and finally the clouds have dissipated and we are enjoying some warm sunshine. We hope it lasts for the rest of today.

Another excellent Busselton winter day for a few challenges before the rain comes.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good quick finds.

I made this one way more difficult than it needed to be, but after circumnavigating the area I found the cache. Thanks for the hide JboyLaser!
First day in Busselton with BettyBoo3747.
Lovely weather, and a collection of good sized and interesting caches.
A bit more careful about our parking on the way out. A short walk had us to GZ. The cache being at a good height was soon found. Nice hide.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 5908. 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 little hide here. Such a huge plastic bag for such a tiny cache though. Even with tweezers retrieval was difficult.
Thanks JboyLaser

Our second day caching in Busselton, with Ian and Penny.
Picked up a few around town, then headed north up Tuart Road.
This one had us tricked for a while, but Penny was the one who spotted it.
Many thanks for the cache, JboyLaser.

A quick grab on the way out of town on our way back to Mandurah to keep our daily caching streak going (day 199). GPS would not settle so just searched the obvious structure in torchlight until we found the cache.
Thanks for the cache JboyLaser [^] - all in good order

Chasing down a few caches as our holiday comes to an end in Busso. Gold Broadwater was the first.
Thanks JboyLaser for the cache.
Thanks JboyLaser for the cache.
We also searched for ages, then found it in the first place we looked. Knew it was there but could not see it. GPS was spot on. TFTC
TFTC JboyLaser. Visiting with the grandchildren who happen to live in the Old Broadwater Farm estate. Had to do this one as we drove in because we wanted to be able to tell JboyLaser (our grandson) that we had done it! Nice easy find . Signed log.
A quick find even when approached from the opposite direction . Tho I did stumble on a log on the ground and have now aggrevated my arthritis again so looks like time to go back to the knee brace for a while.
I had my umbrella but still rushed my log due to the rain and pretty sure I wrote 8/08/2013. I had a quick look at the date on my phone and obviously saw the 08 just not the 07 in front of it.

Our last day in Busselton for the Big Event, we attended the CITO Event and found a few caches along the way... Mum found this one! TFTC JboyLaser
Last day spent in Busselton, we were filling in some time before the CITO event finding a few caches... This one was a nice easy stop, although I looked on the wrong side first. Thanks JboyLaser
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. Then went to the second part of the event for the windup. Grabbed this one afterwards, before heading down to the CITO event. Quick find. Thanks JboyLaser
Up early again today and I headed out before going back to the WA Goes BIG in 2013 Event for the finale
A very fast find which is always nice at 0824
Thanks for the cache JboyLaser
Cheers
Thanks for bringing us to an area of Busselton we normally would not have visited, it surprised us to find this estate out here.
Thanks

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!
