TheDiveSpot # 1 – TB Hotel Port Kennedy, Western Australia, Australia
By Thedivespot on 27-Nov-13. Waypoint GC4TPMZ

It is gone,

Nice spot
I will have to do one of these soon

????

We have been saving a visit to this one until we had something to drop off, despite it being one of our closest unfound to home and 2 doors up from Pe's best mate. Dropped of the Dartmoor National Park TB to move on, which is in a race. TFTC!

No trackables to take this time. Thanks for the cache.

This felt totally bizarre going on to someone else’s property but thanks for providing our first letterbox find! And our #160

was such a fun cachem, our very first messing on the site looking for some. hopped on our bikes and found

Great, easy Letterbox in a letterbox! Fantastic idea! Log signed and replaced. TFTC! Fave awarded just because we didn't have to be a ninja or act suspiciously stealthy!

Today we headed south from where we were camped towards Rockingham. Picked up a variety of caches during the day, including traditionals challenges, letter boxes, a wherigo and a CITO.
It was a fun day and a very busy one and we want to thank Thedivespot for placing this cache and adding to our caching fun. The cache was in good condition and was found after using the parking instructions and opening instructions as per the cache page info.

Out on a caching hunt today along with goingplaces2 and a good variety of caches was found.
This was one of the successful finds. Each log was signed before beng replaced as found. TFTC.

Felt a bit strange going onto someone’s property to get a cache!! Tftc and Happy New Year to you

Ahhh ... a letterbox cache on a letterbox. This is the first one that really makes sense to me. Thanks for the advice re ninja stuff and stealth otherwise I think we’d have waited until everyone in the street was at Skyworks or something. Does your neighbourhood watch have an exception list? Ours would have the police around and a 30 page Facebook write up for somebody in the street wearing the wrong colour shirt. They should just chill ...

Merry Xmas and a fantastic new year

TFTC

Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
Was in the area and I do need just one more LB cache to qualify for a challenge after WAGB 2028. Loved the description and the hide.
Thanks for the hide and smiley

Another Letterbox was needed so we came here this morning, a quick find, thanks for providing it! Grabbed TB.

What a great TB hotel, we dropped in and left our mark in the log but we had no guests that wished to check in or out so we continued on our journey. TFTC

A lovely nice big cache for TBs.
Picked up TB x 1.
Out and about in Rockingham and surrounds grabbing caches to try and get the Hidden Creatures souvenir.

TFTC Thedivespot this is find # 4910 for us.

After a restful night in a motel in Rockingham todays job was to do those we didn't get to yesterday due to wanting to get to Rockingham while still daylight.

The weather started out sunny but soon turn cloudy but thankfully no rain, storm is yet to come

Think only the odd one or two and just over 20 . Time again wasn't on our side but as long as we were getting I was happy. Some caches stood out from the others

Ah so nice to find a TB Hotel so I can drop off two TB's I picked up down Bridgetown on Friday. Hope they achieve their goals

TFTC

All caches replaced as found


***Oops it seems I forgot to log one of the TB's I grabbed the other day and placed in here today. Sorry

Out in the area today and saw this cache so we swung past to do a TB swap. Tftc

Out on an afternoon caching run with I C Nothing. TFTH

After I mistakenly logged this hotel on NiceSpice's account, I am here relogging this find from my own account! And after using premium for a little bit on her account, I am heavily considering making the upgrade!

Anyway, that was my first hotel find and we found lots of goodies inside including some trackables

Awesome! This is the first TB Hotel I’ve encountered, and hopefully won’t be the last. Makes me hope that one day when I have my own house, I’ll get the chance to do something like this as well. Favourite point for you, TB Hotel! Left my little shoey friend in here.

Wow! So awesome!

On our way back from a day out and lunch with the family and stopped to grab a smiley or 2 with seeing some of the sights on our way home.

TFTC

Great stop.
Easy to find.
Picked up a travel bug to move on.

A nice quick find once I parked in the right driveway. Dropped two coins and a proxy for further travels. TFTC.

Found this one early today didn't realise it was a LB so we will re-visit with our stamp.
Dropped off two visitors and grabbed another two for a flying visit to the wheatbelt.
Thank you for the cache Thedivespot.
Cheers TLC

Thank you for our first letterbox and first ever trackables!
We took two to take on our upcoming travels and will bring two back to replace them
Thanks again

Called in to drop off a couple of travel bugs and pick up two to continue their journey

Dropped off clover leaf TB - CP4KK4

What a great little letterbox hide. I'm looking at hiding a letterbox shortly so want to check out a few ideas.

I've dropped a few TBs that I've been carrying for a while, so they can continue their journeys. I also dropped a pathtag.

TFTC Thedivespot.

Thedivespot, I found your cache TheDiveSpot # 1 – TB Hotel on 2/05/2016 at 4:42 PM.
This is my find #2541 and find #11 today.

Hi. Visited today. Grabbed badge once in a life and aussie key ring. Will relocate today.

Great Letterbox / TB Hotel! It felt a bit strange to pull up in someone's driveway... The door was open but no-one came out, so I just retrieved the cache and logged the find. Thank you for a great hide Thedivespot.

Adding 3 TBs to the inventory.

Found it

Dropped a track able to help it on its way

Took the little brown scaley man. Will drop later

Drop some bugs

4897 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1100. We wanted a special cache find to start the day today so we came up with your Letterbox cache. Arrived on the driveway to exchange trackables and stamps. We had to return a little while later as baby had left our stamp in the container. SL Tnx Thedivespot.

Passed by to rescue a friends TB....and helped myself to Another! So glad we did as we met the CO & his family & had a nice chat. What lovely people. Hope we meet you again one day soon.

This is a very cool TB Hotel. I like how it is a letterbox too. Thanks Thedivespot. Caching with McLookers.

Very cool letterbox/TB Hotel. We brought some TB's from the east.

Unfortunately I had no trackables to leave here but thanks for the geocoin. I left a boat in its place. stamped my letterbox booklet and signed and stamped the logbook. I appreciate your courage in placing this in such a prominent position. I can appreciate this, I have a TB hotel on the front wall of our house.
Thanks so much for putting another smiley on our map.

TFTC! Found on an evening caching run after dropping the geowife at the cinemas nearby. Thanks

9275 + 1055 = 10330. Found during a work visit to the Perth region.

I arrived in Perth on a mission - find the (currently) Six Letterbox Hybrid Caches around Perth/Fremantle/Rockingham that I haven't found. After flying in and grbbing the car this was the second one on the list. I'm always careful when doing front yard caches, although this time I did as instructed and parked in the driveway right next to the cache. Found the key, opened up the cache and completed the logging duties. Returned the cache and headed off to the next one.

Thanks Thedivespot ! A very enjoyable cache.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Lovely set up for your cache.

Found this one with Leega, Folssee & the Geodog. Loved it. Cool idea. TFTC Thedivespot

Found with axell33, folssee and geodog. Tyftc. Very nifty cache.

Needing to visit here again to drop off a TB that we discovered, shamefacedly, that we still had in our possession from some time back. Hadn't done any geocaching for a couple of months and completely forgot about this one. Good to move 'Freezing Geocoin Pink Cap' on at last. Hope it gets going soon.

Talk about sprung! Just dipping into the generous container when the house owner turned up. Strangely they weren't surprised by this stranger acting suspiciously.

I was over in WA from Victoria for a couple of days work and was taking the opportunity to find some caches when time permitted. I was closing in 1400 Finds so I wanted something a bit more special that a Mint Tin to mark it. The only problem was that I couldn't be sure when the 1400 would come up as I am still waiting to hear about whether I have got a Virtual and an Earthcache right to log. The only thing to do was to make the next three finds a bit special so I had #1400 covered no matter which one it turned out to be...and three Letterbox Hybrids in close proximity was a perfect solution.

This one was my second stop heading up from Mandurah where I was staying. I parked in the drive as requested and activated "non-stealth" mode. Even so, no one came out and challenged me...either I was too stealthy or no one was home (the latter I think). After stamping the cache log book with my stamp and my log book with the cache stamp, I then swapped Trackables. The cache had two Trackables which hadn't been logged into it (actually they hadn't been logged out of the previous cache they had been in and were listed as "missing"). In return, I left one which I had been carrying for a while so it was good to find somewhere reasonably secure to leave.

Thanks Thedivespot for putting in the extra effort required to establish a Letterbox cache. I will give you a Favourite Point for the effort when I have found enough other caches to earn one (which could take me a while).

Originally found under family caching name clan - wallace now branching out under own caching name

NEF. Said hello to the house owner. Took 3 TB ( the first ever for the Southern branch of Clan Wallace). Sadly as we have never found any before we had none to drop off, but we will make up for by finding these a good home. TFTC

Down south for a night away with K.B. She found this cache while I played lookout. Thanks Thedivespot.

Great to be able to log this style of cache. Thank you TheDiveSpot.

Met some fellow cachers and sat on your driveway! TFTC

Great idea for a cache, a great place to swap some TBs. Met some fellow cachers sitting in the driveway arranging their swaps. Thanks for a bit of fun. A favourite from us. TFTC

I needed this icon to complete my August souvenirs so this cache was the main reason for today's outing. Somewhat intimidated about entering a private home but followed the opening instructions and extracted a lovely sized cache full of lots of stash. Added my pathtag to the one already there.
Then when leaving met up with Mrs CO and daughter who were just arriving and then also had a short chat with Mr CO.
Thanks for the cache Thedivespot.

Out doing a bit of night caching to gain some of the 7 souvenirs of August and we just had to check out this letterbox one, reading through the logs it seemed too good to pass up and it lived up to its reputation! Such a great cache. Missed out on meeting the CO, but we had loads of fun with our torches signing the log and checking out all the treasure in there. I took a pathtag and put one in its place. Thanks for an awesome cache Thedivespot and if my nephews get to visit from Brisbane I will certainly bring them to swap out some treasure and log a find here

Stop number three for the evening on our 7 Souvenirs of August mission, we were a little wary of going onto someones property and tampering with a letterbox, but had fun in the dark and found a box full of heaps of cool stuff, I dropped off 'Fly' may his adventure continue. Took a sideways glance at each other when we passed the old bill on our way out of the estate. TFTC and inviting us to your property

Our 3rd find of the day and another of our August souvenirs. No TB's in this cache at the moment. Signed the log, took nothing and left nothing.

First time for a letterbox. Sat in the car for a little while worrying if we had the right house. Geo son trying to hide under the dash! Took the plunge and drove in. No problems here. Relaxed and took our time once we realized we were at GZ. Nice easy cache. TSLS.
TFTC Thedivespot

Great letter box. Took TB, left path tag. Replace box vertically, not horizontally or it wont close!! TFTC

Bizarre but great cache thank you

Called in today after the sporting commitments were over. Glad to pick up my August souvenir with this one. Thanks Dive spot, took nothing and left nothing.

Tftc came for travel bugs but they were gone oh we'll be back later. Great idea

Took alvin TB to take to Lesmurdie.[:O)]

Called in again to pick up some TBs for our trip up north and across to the Gold Coast. Hope to spread them far and wide after checking to see where each one has already been. Thanks for such an accessible TB hotel.

TFTC dropped off Alvin TB55VE6 from Wagga Wagga visiting TB Hotel at Port Kennedy, WA

Dropped off green racing bug at TB hotel from Wagga Wagga to port Kennedy, WA

What an awesome hotel for bugs. TFTC.

TFTC. Great idea for travelling TB s.

It was so fun I went with my dog

Nice day out to find letter box caches

Tftc been meaning to stop in for some time now. Picked up golden ingot tb.

The three of us were out this way being tourists from Adelaide. A great idea and location for a TB hotel, should keep those travelers nice and safe.

I dropped off 3 travelers from Texas USA.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Thedivespot.

Dropped one, picked up three

Took 4 TBs TFTC

TFTC and good central location. Didn't take any TBs but kids took a few

Had to do this cache while down in Warnbro with Zilvert so a super easy find and a little girl watched us do trackables and log while she was on her DS. Dropped 6 picked up 3

Wow great idea, took 3 tbs to move them on, thanks

I pulled up at GZ, a little after 8pm and the residents were out on the front lawn making the most of a great night... Naturally, I got the attention of said residents and said "Hi, you don't mind if I play with your mail box do you"... Aha, not at all came the response and we had a quick chat before I got down to business... [^]

The kids were keen to watch the activity and asked what I was going to do with the trackables... Take them back to Brisbane I tole them. Oh, that's cool they said... I entered the hotel and HOLY MOLEY... It was a full house. Every bit of spare space was taken up with the container and trackables. The most I have seen in one cache for sure... I was like a kid in a candy store and worked my way through the residents, to see what I could take and still fit in my carry on...

15 minutes later, I had a swag of TB's and coins in my hand, but still left a load behind. All tucked away, I had another chat to the owner, then bid them farewell and hit the road back to my own hotel...

Thanks for a well placed, secure TB hotel. A great idea and a well deserved favourite from me.

Cheers TheDiveSpot.

(team chwiliwr catch up log)

On the way down south to attend the Capel event and was doing some caches along the way.

Came to this cache and had forgotten what it actually was but we still made a quick find.

Thanks Thedivespot for the cache.

A nice easy find while heading to work early this morning . A neat idea that is well constructed. TFTC Thedivespot

Our last day in Australia and 3 TBs to drop. We haven't done nearly as much caching as we'd have liked, but then we are a pair of wimpy Poms and reaching under things in the bush is a bit scary for us. Had noticed this was in striking distance of where we were staying so decided to walk down and leave our TBs in this lovely hotel. When we arrived the guy across the road was in full view but didn't seem to pay us any attention so in we went, what a pleasant surprise !! think our trackables will be happy here for a while. Thanks thedivespot for a great place to visit. SL Fave awarded

i saw all the bugs / coins and it is save

While part of my caching experience is to try and find the 'harder' (D, or T) caches, with too few Letterboxes near home I was excited to grab this one. HEAPS of trackables, and will have to rely on Cookies list to check them all out. With my poor lonely TB that I have had too long already, but not having caught up on the logging, I wasn't going to leave it behind unattended.

Discover Me tag thru

1410 GAFF1 While in Perth for just a couple of days I thought I would get a Letterbox or two, not realising that this was such WELL STOCKED TB Hotel! However, while I dropped of Lulu the Ladybug Travel Tag, and picked up x 4 to help move them on, I think there may be a few missing already - dammm. (No sign of - from my writing down what I saw: Cliff the Koala, DUFUS BUG, Hear No..., Moses on the Move, Tambo Rambler No 2, Excalibur geocoin, A Gator in Australia, Aborigiphil, and Bamboo the Panda.
Took: X-Mas geocoin 2011, Semmels first 1000 geocoin, Explorer Tag - Jeremy (my oldest son is Jeremy), and GxPROXY Traveller - Matt (Whistle, as we had a bit of an annoying boarder at one stage called Matt!)
Cache dry, and coordinates good, key in position. I was kneeling on the lovely lawn quite a while writing down all the codes and information, so hopefully the neighbours weren't too worried.
Brought through for mileage: 12-12-12 Event, 3 Bros NSW, Auckland NZ'13, B 2 B Travel ingot, CII-35Z, GCookie EARTH Cache 10 year Celebration Coin, Iconic Bridges 2012, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, Mr Deep Blue, Natures Camo CITO (key), NZ Mega 13 signature, NZ Mega 2013 GCookie Coin, and trackable shirts.

Very easy find and the CO even opened the hotel doors for me. Was able to discover a mountain of TB's and dropped a fistful off as well. TFTC
