We popped in here today to have a look at the caravan. It was hard to tell exactly what it was, but it certainly isn't any more!
Thanks, Robmc.

Well that's the smallest one we have found needed my glasses to sign the log. Good hint. Tftc

Clearly at right place and I know the jack knife point -- but no sign of a small mag nano that I could see. Searched both big object carefully and the ground too -- without success.

TFTC. Found on ground amongst the dust. Not sure if this is where it is supposed to be. Couldn't get it to stay on metal so placed back on ground.

Up in Exmouth for what should be my last trip this year... (Famous last words - my last trip this year was about three trips ago).

Due to some interesting decisions with work, I have found myself in possession of a hire car and a couple of hours to spend. After checking out of my hotel, I headed for as far away from the airport as I thought I could comfortably manage giving me some time to take in the views and grab a cache or two. Unfortunately, this may well be the standard text you see with all of these caches, but I do indeed appreciate the lovely country I've had to go through to hunt them down.

Not expecting to go geocaching, I didn't have all my necessary items and thought I would have to leave this one as a DNF - Oh I found it all right, but struggled to get to the log... After some effort, managed to extract the log, sign and then put it back. TFTC.

I would have loved to rent a small plane and go around. But the dusty air strip was all empty. We took some time to find this nano and now have learned what the hint means. TFTC Cool

This was another find in Western Australia while crossing Northern Territory and Western Australia from Darwin to Perth on Gibb River Road through the Kimberlys. During this 8500km journey we've met many nice and friendly people [^], visited countless marvelous places, saw lots of interesting local wildlife (and plants), took some 2500 pictures home and logged some 300 Caches Cool.

Here we've circled once or twice the "office" before we've had the right idea Big Grin.

Thanks for the cache, we've enjoyed it very much [^].

We arrived back in Exmouth today after a break of 4 years since our last visit. Good to see a few new caches about and one we missed last time still here. Even better to find one very close to where we are staying. We were able to get the bikes out after lunch and ride to this one. We remember the object being here last time, but no cache then.
With the help of the clue a quick find was made.
Now to try some fishing and maybe a couple of other caches.

Found a while ago whilst holidaying in WA. An interesting landmark for a cache out here but a beautiful area for it. Found fairly quickly and I'm happy that i didn't have to go in for it.
