Not sure about this one. There seems to be things missing at my GZ. Also some evidence of earth moving work and tree removal.

Approaching 10am and it was 7 degrees in the sun. Standing in the shade was not an option! Interesting that amongst the Farmer family graves there was one Farmar. TFTC.

The LKA multis are by far my favourite. I enjoyed walking around the grounds here, spending time reading the headstones. A nice change of pace after doing the LGA caches. Tftc Smile
 
09-Apr-18
Heading home after three nights in Toodyay and last night at Boddington grabbing a few caches as we went.
Which wasn’t as easy as it sounds as I had downloaded my caching list to my gps but at the same time it did an update so when we got to the first cache we discovered no caches on gps Lucky had my sheet as had to add each one as a waypoint but it also meant I had no info about any cache or previous logs to maybe gleam a hint.
Got most on my list except those in high muggle areas or ants running amok at cache.

I have always wanted to come to St Alban’s as I have family tree members buried here, and I discovered today a lady I knew from 40+ years ago who I didn’t realise had died .

Anyway we gathered the required info and off I went to find the cache. After a couple of minutes I got muggle to check my answers and I hadn’t done one of the maths so I was out about 10m.
Once that was sorted it was a quick find. TFTC

Came down for the Boddington Bowl Over Cancer fundraiser and thought we'd pop out here for a wee look. Great stuff and all is in great nick here; thanks for setting this Multi up.

Found on Day 2 of our visit to Boddington. Very enjoyable - I do love cemetary Multis. SL TFTC and multi Richlink. Added to our favourites and I will try to post a photo or 2 Big Grin

Went on a road trip with grandma allinaday. We stopped at many places that I had never been before. We saw and admired many different wildflowers and orchids when we were looking for caches. The fields were nice and green, and I loved the yellow canola fields too. It was fun looking for the caches too. TFTC
 
27-Sep-17
Our third LKA in the last few days. Beautiful little church perched on the top of the hill just below the cemetery. We enjoyed collecting all the information to find the final. Also enjoyed our visit in the church which was open for visitors. Interesting to read how much church attendance and services have declined in the past decade. A book records services and attendances. Found a nicely hidden cache

Found it! TFTC

A beautiful location and a nice cool day to do it. The nearby sheep thought we were bringing dinner. Thanks for the cache and the enjoyable walk around the church.
 
19-Jun-17
A beautiful day and had to drive over to a friends farm so decided to take a slow drive and pick up as many caches along the way until the daylight ended. Visited a number of historic sites that I have driven past many times and not known they were there and also visited a few spots that were on the to do list.
An enjoyable afternoon Big Grin

Took a while to work through all of the clues and get the necessary numbers as the GPSr was all over the place. Eventually got it all together and made the find.

Thanks for the cache richlink [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry Cool.

This was find # 4 of 14 Smile and 1 Sad today giving us a total cache count of 3374.
 
04-Jun-17
Great little church. The kids enjoyed learning all about it. TFTC!

The drive from Mandurah to Kojonup ticked all the boxes for us today. Clean, dry, cleverly hidden caches, history lessons and interesting locations.

Thanks richlink for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

On the way down to Albany we found the numbers easily but couldn't go to GZ due to some roadworks going on and lots of cars parked nearby. So we waited until we drove back home on Sunday and luckily all workers were gone. So we parked next to GZ and made the find. tftc sl tnln

Big thanks to ebenie for replacing with cache I posted to her.

Awesome another cache ticked. Nice quite spot here. Thanks
 
06-Jan-17
After more than five years of being taunted and teased by my workmates about geocaching, it was a big surprise when one of them agreed to come on a road trip with me. She needed to get away and I needed to pick up just 5 more LGAs as well as find the cache closest to my centroid to qualify for a challenge cache over in Victoria. My centroid (the centrepoint of all the caches I had found thus far) just happened to be out at Lake King, so a plan was hatched as to how to get out there.

Ironically, my companion didn't realize that she would be going geocaching, and just the day before our scheduled departure, she messaged me with "Oh, no, we aren't going geocaching are we?" I half expected her to bail out at the last minute, but she didn't, and the rest is history. We had an absolute ball. Three days and two nights with many, many kms, lots of smileys, her jumping around squealing each time she found a cache and me having to shush her and remind her not to let the muggles know what we were doing, music and laughter all the way, awesome scenery, great photos, unbelievable memories - so much fun. Thanks to Eaglette2017 for sharing the adventure with me.

This was the second cache we stopped for on our way eastwards, and the very first multicache for Eaglette2017. She was already hooked. GPS was jumping around a bit, and the app wouldn't work on her iphone, but we found the required info without any problems. Seem to remember finding a cache here once before, but nice to return and take a wander around the place, imagining how life would have been for these early settlers in the area.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to find the cache, but a quick phone call to the CO confirmed that indeed the cache had gone missing. Problem quickly rectified though. Thanks richlink for placing this cache here, showing us showing us this quaint little church and cemetery, and for allowing us to earn our smileys.

Looks like its missing. Disabling while I arrange to replace container.
 
01-Jan-17
Well it's back to the calculation table for us unless it's gone
 
24-Nov-16
As it was missing & we did have the correct coordinates & were looking in the right place the CO has kindly given us permission to log the find. Thanks Richlink. Have a Fave for the venue which we enjoyed exploring.
 
24-Nov-16
Megawat60 and I were having a general chat about LKA's, and we remembered visiting this one with pommieparkin2 last year, finding the coordinates but not the cache. As the cache was missing at the time, the CO's had kindly allowed us to log a find, which I am finally doing! Thanks for another very interesting Multi!
 
24-Nov-16
Really enjoyed doing this LKA with m4yb and PP2, however we did complete the entire process but unfortunately the container was AWOL. We were given Permission to log our finds.
Thanks very much for this and your other LKA's richlink another great visit.
 
24-Nov-16
Our only DNF for the day. In our defence it was mid day, very hot & swarming with flies
 
09-Sep-16
Good multi here in a very peaceful location (besides road traffic). Patience in finding all the info was rewarded with a well hidden cache. Thanks richlink
 
09-Sep-16
I was on my way to Kukerin for a weekend of competitions so I was talked into travelling this way to clean up some caches that we have missed ......
TFTC and I took a walk around the old church to stretch the legs

TFTC! Had a grand weekend away with Cravo10, mugglewife and ItsKate visiting Albany and just about everywhere in between.

We left Perth on Friday travelling via every known backroad and side road known to the maps and maybe even a few not quite so known! Managed to grab a bunch of caches between Perth and Albany on the western side of the highway including a FTF at Boscabel, yeah Boscawhere?? Never heard of it either.

Got into Albany significantly later than we otherwise should have, but managed to get up early the following day to grab a bunch of caches around frenchmans bay, sand patch near the windfarm and further down towards Nullaki and finally around to Denmark.

Got the car nice and dirty on the back roads near the windfarm much to the delight of mugglewife!! NOT!!

Unfortunately the weather didn't work in our favour as we had planned a trip out to bold head to cleanup all out there followed by some kayaking to pickup the Camp Q adventure trail caches but the stars weren't aligned properly for that. But there's always next trip!!

We got up early the following day and grabbed a few caches around town before heading on the road back to Perth, not just Albany highway but every road east of the highway along all the back routes through cranbrook, tambellup, Katanning, Narrogin, high bury and finally back through Willian's with some side detours on the way!!

Had a great weekend and even managed to sneak in a visit with the inlaws who were more than accomodating. Thanks to all of the COs for the caches and we can't wait to come back soon. Thanks
 
15-Jul-16
After recently returning back to Perth after my stay was cut short in Albany by a year it was finally time to return. Catching up with old friends, cache maintenance, FTF opportunities And more green dots to convert to smiles lead to a great reason to head back down the highway.

barnzy12 and I had both been planning trips back to Albany and soon realised we had picked the same weekend.(well that's they story the partners are getting)

The drive down was not the quickest due to the intense deviation needed to clear the map however very enjoyable never the less.

All caches were found and replaced in good condition. Thanks to the CO's for bringing me to the great locations that I got to see and drive past.

Happy hunting, Cravo10

Have been meaning to get out to this one for a few weeks. Finally did on my way to Margaret River. No-one was around so I had plenty of time to wander around and look for the info I needed. Once I'd collected it I made my way to GZ and had the cache in hand quickly. TFTC.
 
22-Nov-15
I had looked for this cache on a previous occasion but had managed to mess up the coordinates. Not so this time - a quick find. Thanks to richlink for the cache.

Jinta29 and I packed the swags and headed down south for a couple of days. We had a plan to grab some caches and this was one of them.

I always like the LKA Richlink caches and this was no exception. Good coords made for quick finds of the relevant info then grabbed the cache before continuing our trip.

richlink we found your cache Last Known Address - Marradong on 2015-07-03 at 10:35 am. This is our find #3371 and find# 12 today. TFTC.

A nice multi here and it was a chance to stretch our legs Big Grin. Worked out the coords easily enough and after a short search we added our names to the log book Smile

Kyzabra and I were evicted by our respective loved ones and told to head off for a day or so. Well, how could we ever turn down an offer like that! We packed up the swags, some food and headed down this way for a bit of adventure.

Gotta love geo road-trips and i look forward to doing more exploring around this area.

richlink - jinta29 found your cache Last Known Address - Marradong on 3/07/2015 10:36 am. This is my find #3395 and find #12 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

I was looking at the map the other night and saw some caches that took my eye in the Dandalup/Dwellingup region, so hatched a plan to turn them into smilies. I was in a bit of pain from putting my back out earlier this morning finding a cache, so was pleased when I saw the size of the cemetary here. Put the waypoints in and found the required info rather quickly and soon had the corrected coords for the final. I stumbled across the cache somewhat quickly and was pleased to add my name to the logbook. TFTC richlink
 
11-May-15
It was a quick matter gathering the required information by following the provided coordinates around the grounds, a great help to the time strapped traveler, and a nice little hide at the end. Thanks richlink.
 
22-Mar-15
Yes it is still there! Unbelievable, nearly 12 months since the last find. This cache deserves more!! Looks like that some fellow geocachers are afraid of the multis! This one was pretty straight forward and a nice little wander around the beautiful cemetery. Unfortunately the church was closed. Cache was easily found and in good condition. TFTC richlink.
 
01-Apr-14
Found it with the help of wayward thanks for the cache grabbed the path tag will send him on


Also took Tb for visit but couldn't do a drop as cache container was to small will take him on a cache next break and find him a new home Smile

I was in Boddington for the weekend for my grandsons 2nd Birthday.

I saw that this one had been released since I last searched in the area, so I couldn't leave without making a find here.

After saying my goodbyes to the family, me, my mum and dog made the short drive out to the cemetery.
I love old cemeteries, so I was happy to wander around here gathering the info needed and reading plaques. The church here is gorgeous and I loved the statues of the pioneering family. My dog kept going up and sniffing the pioneer dog, that was weird [?]

After entering in the new co-ords, then checking them again, I eventually found the cache.

I left one of my pathtags for the next finder.

TFTH richlink......I really like your LKA multis

Camped at Boddington overnight and left the cat in the van today again whilst we headed from Boddington to Williams then across to Darkan for some smilies.

Last of our 30finds today and 1 DNF.

Collected all the info and found the cache in the first spot we looked, but there is a typo on the listing for 'D'
S33 is a bit too far away so we just used S32 like the others Twisted

Surprised to only be 3TF

A couple of days ago we noticed this cache published & today whilst heading home from Albany we took the scenic drive home to find this cache along the way Razz It was probably not the best idea, as we were having some car troubles & the kids were getting very antsy by now... Although, once we arrived to this nice little cemetery the kids were happy to get out & run around Smile

We explored the cemetery gathering our answers & were happy to find that the quaint little church was open, so we took some time checking it out before making our way to GZ [^] I headed towards GZ with the kids whilst Jase took some photos... Of course when he caught up, we were still looking for the cache! For a minute we started to question our calculations, just as Jase spotted the sneaky little hide Wink

TFTC and the nice little diversion richlink Big Grin We did eventually make it home, although the Red Rocket's top speed was about 80km p/h [XX(]

Phew, thank heaven I didn't make an error in these co-ords like I did at Warren Brother Tribute - both placed the same day. Congratulations jasenjanine and entourage!
