Another Albany cache down...good hunting. TFTC

Another interesting walk on a rather warm day.

Rather historical treat, nice part of set and scenery.

Found with Justjessie on our West Australian getaway. TFTC.

Found with O319 on our trip to WA. TFTC!

Found by Mary & David at 1535. A little bit more colour to cheer us up. Waited in the car for the rain to ease. Weather not what we had expected, or taken into account when we packed. Down to 8°C! Our thanks to 35DegreesSouth.

Thanks for sharing this history with us. I enjoyed the drive and walk around Elleker.

My niece found it again, Well after I spotted it up to the next. TFTC

Tftc!

Decided to do a caching run to Albany and stay overnight and cache on the way home. Our aim was to pick up as many as possible including multi,s and puzzle caches that the hubby had solved. Most caches were found quickly with a few that took a bit of searching to find. A big thanks to all the CO,S for placing the caches for us and everyone else to find.

Quick find tftc!

Found at 3:01 PM GAFF1.
Well that was a bit of a surprise - the cache was sitting there with no cover at all. I suppose this is a very unlikely area for muggles to scramble around, but still - just totally exposed
Such a transformation to what the place would have looked like in its heyday - it is a very lonely little backwater now.
Thanks 35DegreesSouth.

THTF. A great day out with FATH

Out and about and picked up this find. TFTH TFTC

Tftc. Not as easy as I thought. Hint came in handy.

TFTC, took a bit to find this one, we were sort of looking in the wrong direction

Thats the sort of hide i enjoy TFTC

Cache container replaced today.

Yay

Nice easy find Bit of a breather compared to some of the other caches in the series
TFTC!

On our travels around Australia doing a few caches on the way. TFTC

Easy find TFTC

Tfth

Tftc. Was a bit damp inside.

On our way to check out the tall trees we called in to elleker to pick up a couple. Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache

TFTH ☺

Yay phone playing up but found it anyway!

Out and about showing Mistraluna the delights of Albany and picking up a few caches I had never got round to finding. Thanks for the fun.

Another glorious day, with so many more caches just waiting to be found around the Albany area. Stopped to grab the caches in this little series on our way out to grab the last of the WA Explorers. The most memorable part of Elleker (now that I am home again) was seeing the little house that was used in the Lockie Leonard series - can tell my students about that once I am back at school.

No problems finding this cache. Thanks for the smiley 35DegreesSouth

Tftc smart hide. A bit wet

Beautiful mud

Didn't really feel like walking in the bush today very wet rainy and muddy but my friend went in about 2 meters turned around and eureka! Didn't open cache due to wether

This cache had us stumped for a while, at first we thought we would have to swim the river carrying our bikes, but then we road around and found the track we should have been on. Four very hungry tired children all looking, eventually we found it.

Quick find

TFTC! Picked up this geo whilst on a drive to Denmark via Torbay on the scenic tourist track. Nice find here after number 3 in the series. Thanks

Woohoo go mum
Brilliant:)))

Heading to Denmark for the afternoon. Enjoyed walking a part of Elleker not seen before because when you drive through, you never think of what is on the other side of the road.

I intended to complete this series but time pressure meant I could only visit a few of these caches.

Thanks for the cache 35DegreesSouth.

Found tftc. It is great to learn all of this information about the history of the area. Cheers.

Heading towards Albany today and we really should have continued on but after checking the great camp spot at Cosy Corner we couldnt resist an overnighter here. So we parked the van up and left the cat there before going off to explore(cache)

This was our 3rd find of this series and the easiest to get to so far.

Parked right there and made the find.

TFTC

This was our 4th cache find in a caching run of 7 Finds & 0 DNFs today.
We found it at 08:51 so this now makes our total find count 8013.
[blue]We cached with The Drovers again today. Now that we have (almost) done all the Denmark caches, we decided to look eastward from our camp site.
Another quick find today.

Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.

Another morning caching with Ian and Penny, around Elleker.
