Thanks for the adventure took a while to find

AMAZING SPOT

With the WA Day public holiday fast approaching, the call went out to the team to see who would be up for a day out. SirFancy, I C Nothing, and monkeywand were available to join me, and we decided to head down south towards Donnybrook. There was plenty of cache variety for the adults and a decent playground and bakery for lunch for the junior members of the team.We met up early in the day in Baldivis. With the ping of a new cache, we piled back into the cars and headed for Lakelands. After a quick find, we hit the road and headed to our caching area of operations.We started out by collecting a bunch of caches around Donnybrook before stopping for lunch and letting the kids have a run around. After lunch, we cleaned up the last few in town before winding our way through Boyanup, Dardanup, and Brunswick Junction.We arrived home just as the sun was going down, having been on the road for nearly 10 hours, covering close to 400 km, and collecting 41 finds, 5 adventure labs, and 8 DNFs.Thanks go to DBKby3 for placing and maintaining the Traditional cache Preston River Walk Trail for me and others to find.I added my name to the log at 11:24 on 3/6/2024.This is find number 8984 for me.

DNF ️

Plenty of time to hunt around but no luck today, thanks anyway

Great to be able to put a smiley here.
Catching up on logging a few geocaches with a few minutes on the computer.
TFTC

Looked around, scratched around but no luck. R&R

hollowfrog & I were unable to locate this cache today we gave it a red hot crack but even with hollowfrog giving her new walking wand a whirl, still no success

Looks like a popular swim spot with some locals, so possibly muggled? or more likely searching without the geo-eyes so will try again another day. Cheers for the lovely walk anyways, R&R

Couldn't find it the log is bent and hollowed out got ants and termites in it

Didn’t find it wooden post fallen over needs maintenance

Good !

Found nice and easy! TFTC JACK AND ALIYAH

Sneaky little hiding hole

Couldn’t access due to weather

Found it. First entry on the new log

Cache has been replaced and with a new log. Cache is in good health.

Found it how exciting!!

We did a day trip to Donnybrook from where we were staying in Boyup Brook. We checked out the town and had some lunch, then it was time to cache. This one was found in the first place we looked.

Day 3 of WAGB22 week, travelled down to Bunbury with muggle geo-son, didn’t stop for any caches along the way as we had a later departure than anticipated.
Hit Burekup, Roelands, Dardanup and Donnybrook areas before heading back to Bunbury in the dark.
Messages popped up FTF were up for grabs. Managed 38 finds, 5 FTF’s and 2 DNF’s.

Thanks to the CO for their hides. Sorry about the generic log.

Logs wet

Found it

Nice and dry yftc

Post it.

What a beautiful spot thank you

Found it but the contents are soaked through. Have brought it home to dry out and will put it back when done.

With a week away from work we decided to head off on a road trip for a few of those days. We were heading for Donnybrook, Yallingup and Margaret River to soak in the sights and grab a few caches along the way. This cache was one that we found on day 1 of our break away! Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there DBKby3, I was in this area today and found your cache Preston River Walk Trail GC4K92W. Our name was added to the log book at 12:45 pm on 6 March 2022. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

We took up Geocaching on 3 March 2013 and this cache brings our total find count to - 13126.

The log is wet and can't write down a name so photo it is.

Paper very wet TFTC. Needs new paper will come back and replace

Beautiful spot here!! Saw a few little fish in the river and even a small marron!
Found with geoff89 - the log book was soaked so we attempted to sign, definitely needs replacing TFTC

Beautiful walk

Be careful of shakes

Found it but unfortunately it has gotten wet

To this cache I ventured to next.I took a much shorter approach, given the day was running out all too fast.
I looked for this at one end but found nothing. As soon as I started at the other the cache was clearly visible.
The log itself is also quite wet. My pen was only just sufficient to write upon the log.

Mmm m&m

The paper has gotten very soggy, the bag and tub are not keeping the water out

Matt & Charlie 2nd October

I took my shoes off and waded across. Kids rode across and swung on a nearby tree swing. Thanks for the adventure. Log is wet but red M&M container present.

Parked the car about 100 meters fro. the cache and then walked 2 kilometres to find it. Well worth the stroll though. tftc

So close, yet so far!.
Worth the walk. Found with Tyke48. Tftc

Wow what a magnificent location this is. Well worth the stop

A great day for apple and plum piccking even better with a few geo caches

Tftc came to Donnybrook to pick some fresh apples and got some plums as well

It was a lovely walk along the river to find the geocache.

Very pleasant walk along the river, and cache was easy to find. TFTC!

Found it with frizzy and lucy

Tftc nice easy find.

Have tried to find this one before with no luck but we found it today! Beautiful little spot

Cache was soaking wet and the papers all soggy and screwed up, have flattened as best I could but desperately needs a new log book/sheet

Needs new log book

Fave spot so far, cute case

Beautiful find near the river

It was really fun it took us a while to find it but really good hiding

TFTC

Couldn’t see it the first time, had to walk away and come back!! Didn’t have a pen

Small and easy

Found it

I accidentally said not I mean now satisfied

I am not satisfied with finding one!

Yay! Nice easy one pleasant view!

Nice quick find. Just the way we like it.

Heading south we stopped here and while the dog had a run I found the cache.
Thanks for placing this cache for me to find.

Pleasant walk along the river, although being lazy if I'd worked out the weir thing I'd probably have skipped the exercise.

In good condition though log is a bit ragged. Thanks for this cache.

Callum’s first find
