Back in the West for WAGB24. A cache up with hollowfrog is a must.spiders be gone! glad to have a handy TOTT to use instead of our digits. TFTC
Trip to Bunbury with AB73 to go to the farmers markets and thought we would grab a few caches. TFTC
Found it out & open in a shopping trolley Still in okay condition. Hidden again
Have attempted to get this one during the day after work but that proved difficult. Nice easy park and grab on a Friday night. TFTC
Sneaky! Red herring almost fooled me; the cache wasn’t where I expected and it blended right in. I had a lovely walk from the Farmer’s Market. Thanks for the cache
I have tried to find this geocache before but somehow I never once looked in this particular spot.. thankfully found it this time with not much struggle! TFTC
With my focus on a nearby area I have driven through/past many times but never stopping it was time for this cache’s yellow smiley to be realised. After having found another shortly before I was optimistic of equal success.
I initially thought of parking around the corner, in the shade, but my inner lazy won out and I parked right next to GZ in the sun.
Given some recent finds I recognised the most likely hide style and so spotted the cache in the first place I looked, though this cache blends in more than some others of its type. Like the last cache, spiders have knitted the cache into their webs so no fingers of mine reached for the cache - a tool I had on hand was used.
I then quickly signed the log and cleaned the web from the cache and my extraction tool, then the cache was back in position.

Enjoying some caching on Father's day. Lucky the geokids looked all around for this one.

Out in the South West for the weekend, taking a quick break from commitments after a busy week. Thanks to all that placed caches.
Cheers dimor!
Cheers dimor!
Time for a SW Break, put the feet up for a few minutes - not for too long as there are caches to get - much to chagrin to my family.
Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today
Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

Cache is not blocked, it is an easy park and grab.
Checked on it late May just prior to WAGB 2022 and it was there

The landscape has changed a lot and as cache hasn't been found in over a year, not sure if it's blocked or I just can't see it ️
Found it, this one has bugged me for awhile. So happy to have it as a smiley face.
A nice park and grab.
We have headed to Bunbury for a couple of days caching.
TFTC dimor this is find #8974 for us.

YES. Finally turned our frown upside down!!! The real question is why didn’t we find it last time. TFTC dimor
Thanks for the hide Dimor. Thought I would pull over and check to see if there was any close caches and Close By was only 30 meters away.
I can now turn a frown face into a smiley, after more than a little help from the CO.
Another trip down to Bunbury (Well almost Bunbury) In the good company of PP2 our main goal was the CITO grabbing a few on the way down and a few more on the way home. We were driving by so pulled up, one by one we joined in on the search but sadly we all came up empty handed despite a good look, maybe next time.
Enjoying a holiday in Perth with tmann421 and collecting a few caches along the way.
Another great find here. TFTC

Rach2 and I are having a TB race so since this cache is close by (funny that as that is what it is called) I'm doing a drop off and pick up so we can register the start of our race
Headed to Bunbury for the day with B12. Found some geocaches on the way there and back. Attended the event also. All caches were found in good condition. TFTH TFTC
TFTC! Headed down to Bunbury with Cravo10 to the meet and greet event in dalyellup and collected a bunch of caches on the way there and the return journey.
Had a great meetup with around ten participants ranging in experience from 27 finds to 14000 finds. Had a lot of chatter about the accuracy of smart phone co ordinates and some general how to questions around offline lists and alike. Was great to meetup with everyone.
We targeted a few caches around town before doing some of the pig series and departing Bunbury for Perth.
Thanks for a great day out will be back soon.

Headed to Bunbury for the day with the kids & of course had to find a few caches on our travels... Headed to this one from the skate park & did a full circle of the area before noticing the cache in its little spot! Signed the log & headed back to the skate park to keep the kids happy

I think this cache should be renamed into: "revenge of the vertical challenged geo-cachers" . An easy cache according to the rating! Well it took me 3 goes to find this one. This cache is a bit challenging if you are not so vertically challenged as me or does it say soemthing about my geocaching skills? But anyway finally found it today on my way to the "freshness". TFTC dimor.
(catch up log)
Heading south to Busselton for the WA Goes Big Event and doing caches along the way.
Was a quick find here.
Thanks dimor for the cache.

Tftc nice easy grab very busy road today hoping we had our invisible coat on today
Driving past taking Rach2 home after our trip to Perth. Called in here to do a TB visit
Before I get busy with other things I thought I'd grab Rach2 to come for a cache check and TB visit too as well as pick up other TB's to take them to Perth
Headed out today with Jinta29 and AlliedOz on our way to Bunbury and Busselton for the PI day events.
Grabbing a few caches on the way and this was one.
Another quick find but at a level I didn't expect.

Another quick find here by AlliedOz . It was fun watching the log being signed from the comfort of the car while the rain got steadily heavier
I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers at WA GOES BIG IN 2015, in Busselton.

Took the ferals out to the skate park this morning when our son decided that he wanted to go caching instead. He became my "prop" for my anti muggle tactics. Lol. TFTC.
It was a race between muggle partner and myself to find this one but experience got there first tftc
also had some tape with us so attached magnet better as it was almost falling off cheers

A perfect sunny winter morning to find a few more caches in Bunbury.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good quick finds.

Pulled up just off the road in the dark here, hit the hazard lights switch and went looking with the trusty torch in hand.
Found this one quickly, gently eased it from its hideyhole, signed the log (of course) and replaced it without being spotted by passerby muggles.
Now it's time for a red and a bite to eat.
TFTC dimor, perhaps a few tomorrow too.

Our second geocache for this arvo. It was exposed, so a quick park and grab. Tried to tuck it in deeper when we left.
Had to get out of the house for the while and I generally don't go for urban caches. However the night was clear and helped to hide my activities. Very pleasant out and about. Thanks for the cache
