Logs
Grass was high and not seeing anything at GZ. Not found for a while - maybe a CO check is needed.
Very overgrown - managed to get the coords down to 0m but I couldn't spot anything. Jumped the gate to check from the other side too but nothing seen that way either.
Borrowed one of the parent’s toys to knock off a bunch of caches along Roe Highway on the ANZAC Day public holiday.
Found caches that are similar in concept previously. Took me a while before I spotted the correct one. Cheers twinkles2804!

An unexpected caching afternoon with redruthguy, knocking off a few more.
Had a chat to Shire bloke while rrg made the find.
twinkles2804, I found Bits 'n' Bolts today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Morgo and I were sorting out a few caches in the other side of the highway, and decided to make our way around to this one.
Evil idea. Saw one of these near Welshpool road out the hills way. Didn’t realise the log was hidden until another user messaged me about it. Had the upper hand this time TFTC
Find 4 of 23 with 2 DNFs on what turned out to be the first day of summer - not at all dressed appropriately for 34c. My trip took in almost 18km ride and to any whingers about cyclists on the bike path - just take a bike with you. I had 4 people ask if I needed help (with the bike not the caches!!). What a lovely bunch of people cyclists are. I have to say there were some quality Bindi caches amongst the finds and some fave points coming your way.
Despite this cache being on the other side of the Roe from all the other caches I intended visiting, its fav count had me plot a course from West to East and I was grateful to find some bike paths to keep me safer.
The cache is what I expected and I enjoyed looking for the official log. I have removed Geotrakka's added log from the cache as I think it spoils it for anyone looking to log an easy find. Up to you if you delete their electronic log.

This one has been on my to-do list since it came out. Nice quick find today. The original log is still in there, well hidden! so whoever finds it next, ignore the big log sheet.

Wondered why it was so heavy! Popped a log in as there was no paper inside. Thanks for the laugh TFTC
Out to find some hidden clues and this one fitted the deal plus the d rating looked good. As we read more we gathered what was required and soon found our guess was correct. We worked our way through the hide and soon had the log out for signing. TFTC.
I must say I wasn’t thrilled to see all the long grass in this area, so was mightily relieved it wasn’t as daunting as it seemed. All in order and perfectly described. Thoroughly enjoying Bindi caches today.
New log in place . You will need your own writing device and log retrieve tool
I don't think this one is as it should be now. As it just has an ordinary log book in a sistema. TFTC
Out with Parkacruz and Neva2Old
A nice quick find.
We found the log but it was full so signed the new, temporary log.

Out and about with Parkacruz and team bastholm Quick find found both logs and signed the one with space.
Headed out today with Neva2old and TeamBastholm to claim a few more smilies, happy to say we came up trumps here TFTC
Quick find of the cache and after a few minutes retrieved the log unfortunately it is full and needs replacing. Someone has set up a second a log but not as the intended original either way I have logged in both log books our find. Tftc
What a great little location to have a Geocache! And on a great afternoon to be out as well. TFTC. Signed log. Took nothing. Dropped in a little souvenir from our old homeland! Also dropped in a TB that has come a long way to see Australia! Lets help move it along!
Made the find nice and easy. This cache was inventive and a lot of fun. KellyAwwesome and i removed the trackables for moving along. Thanks CO you're getting one of my favourite points.
I got lucky with finding the log, first grab! Also took one of the trackables.
Stoked to see a creative cache, it gets one of my favourite points for sure.
You may want to replace the log book as it was almost impossible for us to sign.
Thanks for creating this cache!!

This cache is fairly close to the airport so I dropped off a couple of trackable that have need to be moved. Thanks!
Visiting from the UK for a wedding. Nice quick find. Stayed for a bit and then bolted Dropped off 2 TBs. One gets a point for each cache found and each mile travelled, so that's boosted its score a bit... TFTC
Beautiful day for geobiking around Lesmurdie area.
At the end of the day it's almost dark but we found the log, very cool and funny.

Took a few minutes to find as the gps wanted me searching around the wrong objects. Once it hoped in the cache was in hand quickly. Then to begin the second search! TFTC this was a good one.
Solved the first of the Geocache HQ quizzes early this evening which required to find a 10+ favourite by end of the weekend. So after a quick search came across this one. It was dark when we set out and was worried by rating and the description but thought we would have a crack anyway. No need to worry it was a quick find for geo-girl ( even in the dark). TNLN SL TFTC
What a fun cache. Process of elimination and we soon had the log in hand. The log is full so signed in a little blank spot on the edge. TFTC J&J_45 and a fave.
Thanks for a fun find. Unfortunately I lost my pen during the search so was unable to sign the log.
Found at 09:30. Great spot for a decent size cache with a twist! Boom-boom. Didn't take as long as it might.. Prior cacher was kind to me. Took last spot on the log so this needs replacing asap. Dropped off TB. Thanks
Drove straight to GZ for a quick find. The cache certainly lived up to it's name!

Hello J&J_45 - I found this cache today (my find # 3410) and the cache is in good condition. It was a quick find after doing some business in Kewdale. The coordinates are good and the cache is in good condition though the log needs replacement. Someone has placed a new log book in the container but it is the 'wrong size'. SL (the correct one) and took the 'Dalfontieners Wildebeest' TB . Thanks to J&J_45 for the cache.
Found this on Sunday late in logging due to no internet. Couldn't believe there was a cache so close to our daughters house and we had never noticed this road before. We chose this though for the size of the container so we could drop of a Travel Bug to continue on its journey. Thanks for the hide.
TFTC great cache add fav pt

A nice idea here . Thankfully I was able to extract the log and add my name rather quickly as I needed to get back to work . A fave point from us [^]
J&J_45 - jinta29 found your cache Bits 'n' Bolts on 3/08/2015 12:35 pm. This is my find #3500 and find #1 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Have been meaning to do this cache for such along time and having a spare half hour picked it up for the road trip favourite point souvenir. Clever concept, thanks J & J 45.
Dropped off a Geocoin we have had for way too long!

Passing after work a dropped by in the hope of making a quick find, had the container in hand quickly and set about tracking down the log luckily enough the fifth bolt I picked up looked a bit odd,
With the log signed I was on my way

I was in the area today and decided to grab this one to deliver my souvenir for facourite points on the Geocaching Roadtrip. I drove down the road and pulled up when I got close. Found my way to the container okay, and quickly had the logbook in hand, or so I thought. I sorted through the items in the cache and after a minute or two, had the real log in my hand. Had to MacGyver a log retrieval tool, and then make a mark on the logbook. I didnt have my #powertankpen on me, so it was quite difficult getting the len to work on the rite in the rain log paper. Eventually scratched my name in there and replaced the cache for the mext finder. TFTC J&J_45, I'll add to the fave points.
Aaah! Sneeky little bugger. Had an idea in the back of my mind where the log was but wanted an easier find and looked elsewhere just in case. Luckily when I sucked it up and started to be thorough came up with the log's hiding place almost immediately. Handily had the work ute so was able to work out something to extract the log. TFTC J&J_45.
Fantastic cache!!!! Thanks so much..took me a little while to figure it out though ☺ find no 21 and 3rd for today. Tftc
Found the container easily but didn't get what I had to do to find the log. After a while I decided to cheat a bit and read some old logs. No help there until I read about one person who sat and saw some cows before it came to them. Why not I thought, so I sat and thought of cows. Black and white dairy ones. Suddenly, I got it!! and soon found and signed the log..........which is pretty random (as it has nothing to do with cows).
A great little find for us but we did not have a logging tool on hand but we did place a calling card instead. TFTC J&J_45
Don't know why I haven't visited here before now, but glad I did.
Parked right next to GZ and jumped out of the van. Fifteen seconds to find the cache, fifteen minutes to sign the log.
A great idea, well done. Giving it a favourite.

When I pulled up at the parking spot 3m from GZ and read the first line of the description - 2L container - I thought "great, this is going to be a quickie". When I grabbed the container my first thought was "that's odd", and when I opened it and read the rest of the description I realised what the task was - ooh....
After a lengthy search, I was very pleased to find and sign the log book. Thanks for a fun cache J&J_45!

In the pouring sideways rain and poor GPS signal I refused to accept another DNF for the day! Loved the log. Would've liked all of them to stock up my shed! Thanks very much.
On a stormy looking morning we went out for cycle around the suburb.
Didn't take long to find it.
Took TB.

Wow! An unexpectedly heavy cache. Even with tweezers I struggled to get the log out of the cache but eventually managed to leave my mark on the log. Also left a TB. Thanks for the cache J&J 45.

Out for a day of caching picking up some odd caches here and there that we have missed doing.
Found it without problems and it didn't take long to get the log signed.
Thanks J&J_45 for the cache.

We set off early with richlink this morning to beat the heat, but there was no hope of that and we found the conditions to be quite challenging at times.
We headed off to the Cannon Ball Run and grabbed a few others along the way.
Loved this one, hanks for your cache J&J_45, despite the heat we had fun.

Fantastic cache found at 10.30pm and going off other logs thought it might take a long time but we had fun doing it and is a fav for us. TFTH
Wow that was fun took me ages with friends that do geocaching on the other app.
Did log but didnt have a tool to get the log out so I slipped in a piece of paper.

I decided to go out early again to pick up a few caches. with the weather forecast at 41 degrees i was hoping the caches today wouldnt be to hard to find. I think i only found 8 caches and i had 3 DNFS, by 10am it was about 34 degrees so it was time to call it quits and be inside in the airconditioning.
Found the cache quickly but i didnt find the logbook as quick.....A fun cache a worth a favourite point from me TFTC J&J 45

Out with Keego checking out our next epic we returned via this way. A short search with Keego on the right side and a quick find to him.

While out ans about with AK, we decided to scout this one out, Keego found this tricky one in the 2nd place he tried. A nice cache, worth a fav for the effort, SL TFTC J&J 45
Went out solo today, and left geo-wife back at the caravan to do stuff.
Headed for Forrestfield and then moved onto Welshpool,
picking up some great caches along the way.
Lots of parks and interesting places kept me busy for the morning.
This cache was well hidden and in good condition.
Thanks for the hunt today, J&J_45.

Stop number 2 for the day. Arrived at the GZ and quickly found the cache.. signing the logbook was a different story. decided to sit in the car and saw some cows grazing nearby when it came to me.
Well played in this cache J&J, got me thinking and was really fun! TNLNSL. As always, TFTH / C..

Out and about in this area today, having an unexpected day off from babysitting so what better to do on such a lovely day than go caching!
Parked right next to gz and then it was a quick find... but not such a quick sign. Sat back in the car and went through them one by one, eventually spotting the culprit. And yes, I needed an extraction tool, log signed and all replaced snuggly.
This was my final cache for the day, and a great one to finish on. Thanks a lot J&J 45.
