On an overnight trip with geo friends to Geraldton for some sightseeing and picking up a few caches along the route.
Quick stop for this one, and the cache was spotted on the ground. Replaced back to where you could see it belongs.
Thank you, Squash2, for placing this cache for our benefit and enjoyment

Sorry to say this one beat us today. We had a pretty good look with the GPS bouncing around, but called it after about ten minutes. A nice little church to look at. TFTC
Heading back home to Perth after an awesome 18 day camping trip through the goldfields. Have plugged a few caches in for the drive home - a couple of leg-stretchers and a couple of previous DNFs which I'll hopefully correct. I also wanted to stop off here as I missed this one on a previous trip to Greenough. What a lovely little church. The dog next door kicked up a stink when I got out the car, but quietened as soon as I walked around the side of the church Had a rummage in a few spots before realising where the coords were pointing A nice quick find after that. Nice hide here though - have a fave point for the cache and for bringing me here All ok today - TFTC
Well it’s finally holiday time! I C Nothing is hitting the road for some R&R grabbing a few finds on our travels. Looking forward to seeing some sunshine and having quality beach time. Glad to see a few caches as we tour around exploring. Today we found your cache safe and in good condition. Thanks for placing for our enjoyment.
4.51pm
Visiting Perth from Brisbane to catch up with hubby who is working over here. Today I drove to Geraldton after dropping hubby off at the worksite at Dongara.
Now we are finding a few caches I missed on my way. Stopped here to find this one and big dog next door came out to see us but luckily the cache was not near him. I liked in one spot and saw nothing and hubby checked it out and there was the cache. Nice hide. SL then returned as found.
Found on 1 July 2022. TFTC, Squash2.

20+ years of travelling up and down this road to and from Exmouth and finally decided to stop n check the little church out. The big dog next door was a bit intimidating but we found the cache fast enough. TFTC
Caching our way back to Perth from Geraldton. This was one of the caches we stopped at.
Cheers Squash2!

Started our 2nd tour of WA now touring around the south slowly heading north on our way home to Cairns. Did your St James Church today. 27 February 2022 12:52 pm Tyfc Squash2 total caches now 4341 .
Up at the Farm for Xmas - its been a scorcher! Today its only 35 so Im happy to get out and grab some smilies while Im up. Still sporting a broken arm but cast is off which gives me a bit more movement solo caching. Thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining these caches.
Clever cache - worthy of a fav. I really enjoyed this - Thanks Squash2

Nice easy one. Hint; you don’t need to go digging around in the trees for this one
A wonderful start to the day, out at Grenough, exploring the Historical Settlement from the Early Settlers.
Thanks for sharing this interesting historical location.
We found this nice and easily.

Went to investigate but startled the resident pigeon pair (or they startled me, perhaps), liked reading the history. TFTC
Wow that’s a clever little hide and such a shame about all these beautiful old churches just falling apart tftc
Today our tour - which began in Perth, WA , and led us thru Western, Northern and Southern Australia back to Perth, was from Jurien Bay to Geraldton
.
On the way we came to some interesting locations. Here we searched, found and logged this Tradi-Cache.
Weather was good in the morning and it should even get better during the day.
Thanks to 'Squash2' for showing us this location and for the fun we had with 'St James Church'. The search here and today didn't take too much time, fortunately.
Greetings from Germany and we hope to see you soon in the forest.

A quorum of the Fott was here so we are retrospectively claiming the find. If that's an issue let us know.
Heading up to Gero for the annual IGD event with AlliedOz & SVKR_WA on a day trip, lots of banter and shenanigans in amongst the 900 odd k's traveled for the day.
Confirmed my suspicions that I might be traveling with a couple of clowns here. My names in the log, nice camo.
Squash2 I found your cache at 9:42am, this was the 5th of 34 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 5563. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

A nice camo here. Spotted this one and had it signed and replaced before Granett even noticed. A fave from me.
Well today is International Geocaching Day for 2019 and Granett, AlliedOz and I hatch a somewhat crazy plan to head to Geraldton for a day trip to attend the event there.
We left a wet and cold Perth at 5 and headed north, stopping for a couple of caches along the way and a bit of maintenance that was needed.
It was a long but fun road trip - lots of banter, great company and it was great to catch up with a pile of people at the event in Greenough.
Squash2 SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache St James Church today at 09:41:29 17 Aug 2019. This brings my find count to 3647
Squash2 - Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. We love travelling the state and visiting some places that we would only visit due to this game.

Out with SVKR_WA and Granett for international geocaching day and a drive up north to make the most of it. Started out early and picked up a cache here and there on the drive towards today's destination event by West Oz Geocaching.
I spotted it, SVKR_WA grabbed it and signed the log and replaced the cache, all while Granett continued to search.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Squash2 you help make this game what it is.

Found it. TFTC Squash2. Me and my GPS just don’t get on. It was sending me all over the place, up to 10m in all directions from GZ. So it was a case of common sense. Now, with me this is a dangerous area, but Hey ! What’s this, there was a smiley just waiting for me. After about 30 min I was leaving and I paused at the gate to take a quick photo. I noticed my GPS say 10m, what ? I let it take me to its GZ and it was with in 1m of the cache ? Are you serious, now you tell me?
The dogs next door were having a great bark at us. The GPS had us looking in the wrong direction but eventually found it. TFTC. Visited Geocoin CTB90A
Driving from Perth to my home town Kununurra. I decide to do caching on highway. Found it after short search. Good hide. TFTH

What a lovely spot of history, had a little look around, I have to say it is one of my favourite caches, not only for the history but for the creativity of it. Thank you
I like the creativity of this CO, nice one and thanks for bringing me here! TFTC!
It may be one of the oldest churches but it still has it newly built charm! Great place to hide a Cache
Also it needs a need a new roll of cache paper

After staying for a week and a half in Geraldton (the longest time we have spent anywhere since leaving home in April) we have moved on today. Dongera for one night on our slow progress back to Victoria. We did lots of great things in Geraldton, the wildflowers are fantastic, we always loved visiting the HMAS Sydney Memorial (beautiful and moving) and as usual at this time of the year the wildflowers and weather have both been fantastic. A bonus was the number of caches we found. Heaps had been placed since our last visit 4 years ago, so many we haven't found them all! The icing on the cake was yesterdays event and the four FTF's we managed to pick up. The Geraldton caching community is alive and well, and very much appreciated by this pair of travellers.
As we drove up to GZ we thought we would just have to keep driving if there was a church service in progress. Once we got there we realised we had no reason for our concerns. There obviously hasn't been a church service in the building for many years.
Another of the CO's sneaky micros. We have come to expect them, but at least this one wasn't the effort to find many of the others have proven to be. Nicely crafted and hidden.

Day 1 of The Northern Adventure with megawat60 and Two + Four. Nice find, thanks for this cache and bringing us here.
Out with m4yb and the Two+Four team on our way north.
Thanks for the hide & smiley

Caught up to our fellow travellers on the way north. It made for an easy find. TFTC
A sneaky hide but I found it . A lot of history here it’s a shame that these old buildings aren’t restored tftc
On our way up to the Murchison for Easter we decided to continue our cache hunt north of Jurien, happy to say we walked away with a smiley today, both on our faces and our profile TFTC
After visiting Jurien Bay we drove further northwards, with Kalbarri NP as our final destination. On the way we have visited the wonderful Pink Lake and several convict settlements. Geraldton was not our favorite today. Today was 10 degrees cooler than it is supposed to be at this time of the year..
Wow, what an amazing NP! We love it so much! FP added!

An interesting old church - a pity the pigeons have taken over. I frightened a couple out of their roost when I went for a wander round the back. Nice hide. TFTC Squash2 and kia ora from Aotearoa/New Zealand. # 11,386
For sone unknown reason i couldn't get my pen to work here so have sent pics to the co as proof. Nice quick find tftc
Took a day trip to check out the historical region of Greenough and to get a cache or 2 on the way
Geo Kid struck again. Love the old building but parking is a bit hairy right on the hwy.
Since son is home on his work break to house/dog sit and we got the rare go ahead to go away so it looks like another mini geo road trip it is
Let Home at 5.15am this morning which wasn't too bad tho didn't think muggle had it in him
After reading some logs the other night I thought this one was going to take some time.
Nah fortunately I walk straight up to it without using gps, how great was that, less than a second
TFTC
All good with cache and replaced as found
Photo is of caterpillar trail heading for the road, fast moving buggers but sadly some got quashed and other blew across the road with passing traffic, muggle thought it was funny

Headed off early this morning, trying to beat the early peak hour madness on the Kwinana Freeway. Who would have thought that it would be bumper to bumper, stop/start, all the way from south of Anketell right through Cockburn Central to Berrigan Drive at 6.15 in the morning? Crazy! Lots us people must be wetting their beds or something, lol.
Anyway, the plan was to pick up Eliktrisiti in Malaga and head northwards for a bit of a roadtrip. A little backtracking had to be done to pick up a recently solved ~Tango~ puzzle, then it was time to hit the road. Went up the Brand Highway for a change, zigzagging backwards and forwards as we continued northwards to Dongara and then Greenough to where we were staying. Grand adventure it was too.
By the time we got to this one, we were just about cached out. So many miles put behind us and some many great hides along the way. But we weren't about to leave this one behind as we headed to our airb'n'b accommodation at Greenough South. Found this one in the obvious spot.

Out with family and friends for a fun day of caching. Very neat little hide, although it was a bit exposed on arrival.... hidden on departure. TFTC
On our way to the Pinnacles .... Loved this little church ... Soon had cache in hand ... T4TC:)
Enjoying the journey with iluvtrekking as we head towards Geraldton. So many great spots to check out along the way. Quick find here. Thanks Squash2
This nice old building seemed to be smiling at us. Thanks for the cache Squash2.
tftc squash2 a quick easy find here while on the road to Geraldton. Funny i walked in and had a browse around and saw where others had walked and then looked to my left and went that's the cache and sure enough it was right there. So i did not trek around as others had done.
Originally logged under clan-wallace. Geohubby wants his own caching name so guess who is relogging the lot for him?
Headed to Geraldton for the International Geocaching Day event on Saturday 20th August.
Barnzy12 and I packed the car at 6am and headed North. Despite making a critical error by choosing the freeway to start the journey we then made it to Geraldton and checked into the motel by 5.30pm.
We found several caches along the way some new, old and even archived caches. As I missed the event last year I was guided to some others on the map that I hadn't found before and made for some quicker finds yet still enjoyable.
Ended up back at the motel after getting the new plane spotting series and some other caches close to the city centre at around 9pm. Beers were cold and was then time to relax. After a 15 hour day sleep was needed ready for the big day tomorrow.

On the way to Ellendale Pool for a few days towing our home on wheels, we were able to park safely outside this little church and find the cache. A cheeky hide. TFTC
Hi there Squash2 - Today is day 2 of our 2016 Northern Holiday and this cache intrigued us enough to cause us to stop. While we don't know where we're going, but we know we're here (at least). This was our find number 3975 - SL. Towards the end of the day we did have to pass by several caches on the Mullewa road to get into the caravan park and get the TV set up (for TWO). Hopefully we'll mange them later tomorrow. Thanks to Squash2 for the cache.
Found this one with Leega on our way back from Geraldton. Nice quick find in a wonderful spot. Shame it's locked up, would loved to have a look inside. TFTC Squash2
Found with axell33 on our way home from Geraldton today. These little historical places that most go by are great, so glad to be a cacher! Thanks for the hide.
Last time we were in Australia and spend our holiday in the western part of the country – that was fantastic!
We landed in Perth and from this great town we went to the east and the north – we were on the Wave Rock, in Kalgoorlie, in Nambung Nationalpark, on the Hutt Lagoon, in Kalbarri NP and on the Shark Bay.
All the time we visited there the main attractions – but we wanted to do our hobby (geocaching), too.
So we looked for the boxes next to the highways and on all the wonderful places during our tour.
Here we could found the box very well, we say thanks to the owner and thanks for the cache.

Day 3 of a road trip to Geraldton along the Indian Ocean Drive, which wasn't here when we last tripped up this way. Today took 6 hours to get to Geraldton from Dongara visiting all those places you usually drive by on a "normal" trip and exploring the many small towns along the way. The added bonus is the number of caches along the way which accounts for some of the extra time that it took.
Mrs K made a quick find and scared off the resident pigeons in the process.
Thanks for the cache Squash2 [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry .
This was find # 6 of 16 and 1 today giving us a total cache count of 3169.

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.
Today I was lucky enough to be out and about with some of those friends and we targeted this cache.
Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!
Thanks Squash2 (F=487 H=46) for placing this cache.

Found by Mary & David, in convoy with Alansee and micaparamedic (logged as ACMPMM), at 1400. A beautiful old building. We are National Trust members, and producing the card overseas saves a lot on admission fees to similar places. Our thanks to Squash2.
