Unfortunately we didn’t find anything but very interesting history, didn’t even know it was there
it took awhile to find the cache by everlasting finally found it but no cache so had to replace another new one.
Very interesting about history - thanks for shared with us. Replacement temporary container with log sheet. until the owner maintenance Signed the log with Dranyer and wavikki. Thanks The Nigels.
found after a short search while enjoying some nice caching weather. tftc sl tnln
Tftc. Just watching footy and thought we would go for a walk and add another cache on the list.
ha ha.... We reached close to GZ - as we pulled up we quickly observed what we thought was a great cache hiding spot, only one problem.... bees... and I have a bee alergy. I wanted to go look but didn't have an my eppy pen so staying safely inside the car while Ian gingerly removed several rocks only to find the item he thought was the cache was actually rubbish. Time to reassess the situation and take a second look at the GPS. Ah.... the cache was actually a few metres away. Once at the real GZ the cache was quickly located.
thanks The Nigels

Geocache temporarily unavailable due to being taken. It will be up and running soon.
Searched high and low, couldn't find plenty of screams and laughs tho thanks to the bees and mums first geocache hunt!
No find. Searched for about 20 mind. Found bee hive but no cache. Anyway, Go Falcons!!!
After our worst ever day for def's, why not add one more.
We searched everywhere, even removed a straw that someone had jammed into the bees entrance, just couldn't find the cache.
An interesting piece of history, thanks for bringing us here

Tftc. Don't worry about the bees but do stsy away from here if allergic to bees. Interesting piece of history near by. Found with Jelm-explorer. Thanks Jelm
Whilst in the area came down to do this cache. Cache found without problems.
Log signed and cache returned as found.
Thanks The Nigels for the cache.

TFTC, bees are still in the area, my son looked into the bee hive, fortunately they were all at peace.
There's a bee hive near it at the moment but luckily the hive is 3 metres away....
Geocache is once again active. The geocache can be retrieved without going near a beehive in a closeby location.
Came by here today to pick up this cache but a swarm of bees have made their home here. It appears very dangerous as the bees got angry as I approached.

This is another very close to home cache that has taken me ages to seek out. And a very interesting scrap of history hiding here that I had never noticed before.
The cache was found after searching the wrong tree and braving the bees that are still very active.
Thanks for the cache The Nigels.

The bees are still there, so take care. How many times have we driven by without knowing the well was there? Thanks for taking us there.
As we approached GZ it was obvious that a swarm of bees had camped where we thought it was - Luckily it was a bit the other way and we managed to retrieve the cache, sign the log and get away without disturbing them, TFTC
A deserted park today ensured that we had a trouble free hunt here

Originally found under family caching name clan - wallace now branching out under own caching name
A nice easy find. Now there was something significant about this find....what was it?....was it that Geohubby stood in some dog poo & stunk the car out all the way home?.....Oh no, now I remember it is the 9000th find for Clan Wallace yeah! TFTC
thought i found it. Reached down into a tree hollow and picked put a big rock. that wasn't it. The bees in that hollow were not impressed and swarmed. gave them a few minutes to settle down then approached the area again slowly, looking out for bees. I didn't even get stung. I think the multiple bee hives increase the difficulty and terrain on this one. TFTC
We came home from camping 1 day early so thought we would click up some caches while out cruising around. GeoMum scored this one relatively quickly. No need to go near the bees. Pete said someone was murdered here. Very sad.
The angry bees are still very close by. Luckily spotted the hide quickly, grabbed the container and recorded our visit a few mts away in safety before returning. Thanks The Nigels
Found it on recent holiday. Had same problem with the bees but got there in the end . Thanks The Nigels
With a couple of hours to spare, we headed down Mandurah way today to find a few caches... When we arrived to this park a muggle was playing hide & seek & hiding behind GZ from her dogs? So we actually searched another tree first... Turns out there was a swarm of bees there & they were not happy that we were there! Jase then grabbed the cache & we ran away whilst being chased by one angry bee in particular... It would not give in & after making some big swishy sticks to fling around the cache was replaced!

To be honest I wouldnt know where to start! Within 5 -10m?? Most trees are out of that radious and the one that was definately didnt have a cache. Maybe a change of co-ordinates.
we have re hid the geocache in a different place within 5-10 metres of original geocache.
actually tried to show to cousin but cache had been thrown down in a hole in th well a bit dissapointing really ps gz is now a mound of dirt
Sorry to hear about the demise of the cache. When we visited the council workers were way over the other side of the oval busily mulching trees. We have noticed they've been chopping down and mulching trees on the bypass road and even in our local park ("Tree park") they've been removing trees. Not sure why they would want to remove an old burnt out tree stump..... maybe it's a case of boys with new toys?
Not having much luck at this spot first one down the well second one the shire knocked our hiding spot over found cache all chewed up will replace as soon as possible
After a short search the cache was located. Great camo. Found cache intact and in good condition. TFTC and a fav' point from us.
Had been saving this one for a day when I needed to make a find for the 366 day challenge. Quick find, though the camo and cache were not together. Replaced the cache as I thought it should have been. Thanks The Nigels
Woo another one down!! Thought it was actually near the well but it is not as near as you think #TFTC
I was out picking up a couple of caches with Skippy 46 and stopped past to grab this one. Cache was found in the first place i looked. Nice hide TFTC The Nigels
Found easily with OOH YEH on our way to another cache.
An interesting little piece of history here.
TFTH and thanks for showing us this unknown place The Nigels.

FTF after it was published. Had to do a double take on this one. Hard to believe that 124 years ago cattle were moving through here. TFTC
Spent some considerable time looking for this but did not find it
Obviously was not wired into this one. Will be back another day.
