Enjoyed the tricky cache and enjoyed the company of 100 or so galahs that gave us a memorable send off. TFTC
I looked everywhere but it was nowhere to be seen they have cleared a lot of land here so it may have been taken 
Had to go through the logs to keep me motivated to keep me looking. Tftc & favourite point from me
TFTC! Another BIG days caching with Cravo10 on our standard Thursday Jaunt!
With the weather looking ridiculously hot, with temperatures in the mid-30s we decided to head South to the Area of Mandurah (and surrounds) to take advantage of the cool breeze coming off the ocean.
we've also still got a heap, and I mean a heap of green dots still left on the map down this way, we might have to spend a week down here to get them all cleaned up!
We spent the day collecting park and grabs all around the suburbs of Mandurah which seem to be growing significantly with house after house popping up down here.
We loved the variety of caching down here today with some good camo caches, some nice history and lesson learning caches and some nice simple ones to round out a lovely days caching.
Had problems with a few, but overall a very successful day collecting 30 plus caches including an archived cache in Banjup on the way out today. Thanks to the COs for a lovely day out.

Hi there Team Good Energy.
We found your cache **"Walbanga"** at 12:08:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 14785.
We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route that is mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trek today & ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes hidden along the way.
We awarded this cache a favourite point for the ingenious construction.
Today we found 13 caches & DNF'd 2. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Very tricky. Just about to give up when we spotted something unusual. Tftc
Catching up with some late logs, therefore this unfortunately is going to be one of 'those logs'. I apologize in advance for the generic log, A combination of limited time and too many to log dictates that a generic log is best. I have enjoyed the hunt and being outdoors in this great country of ours, partaking in a pastime that I thoroughly enjoy. I usually head out by myself, but I thank those that have had the misfortune of my company in some of these ventures.
Thanks Team Good Energy for placing this cache.

Being from a place far, far away we discussed the correct pronunciation of the name of this one. Fortunately we had the necessary tool to hand to access it too.
Still catching up on some caching we did on our most recent trip to WA from Perth south to Augusta and a few places in between.
We had the pleasure of living in Busselton in 2015 for six months then spent a further six months living in Mandurah before moving back to nsw. We have been back twice in the past 18 months as it always invites us back especially to the warm days and beautiful scenery and beaches.
It's a real shame that we only discovered geocaching just when we were moving back to nsw so we have a lot of catching up to do in our favourite places in WA each time we return.
TFTC TNLN. Until next time WA it's been an absolute pleasure.

Second time with no luck maybe the coordinates are wrong or it really is tricky. Going by the logs it's a camo bison tube but it's also really small this confuses me. I'll be back
Found thanks to geoson playing with things he's not meant to lol. Tftc found with grubbygypsy
Awesome cache loved it. Fp from us for the craftiness. However when we arrived at GZ the cache was lying on the ground. Have tried to fix as good as possible but CO might want to check on it. Tftc sl tnln
Originally logged under family caching name, clan-wallace, now relogging under my own name.
Good hide. We had never seen one of those that small. All in good order. TFTC

TFTH. Easy find. Not much space in there. Signed Log. Princess_Leia, Han_Solo_ & Pace the geodog.
Out and about exploring the Coondanup / DudleyPark area on the pushbike for an exercise and caching outing. A glorious sunny, but cool winter’s day. Nice camo not seen for a while or around Mandurah.
Happy to get my smiley today. TFTC Team Good EnergyReally happy to locate this very nice cache today. A fave from me.

Day thirty two of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747.
Spent the day travelling around east of Mandurah doing the odd cache, and sampling a few series.
So I'm guessing it isn't named after Harvey Wallbanger?
A nice sneaky hide. I hadn't seen one of these containers before.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 8052. Another lovely Autumn Day so Robmc and I head out to find some of the local challenges, puzzles, trails and other sundry finds. It's ANZAC Day so - "Lest We Forget"!
On our way to visit the Creery Wetlands and noticed this one nearby. Very nicely camouflaged hide but it could do with a little magnet to help it along.
Thanks Team Good Energy

Out and about today on a very sunny afternoon searching for caches. This one had us guessing for a few moments, is it or isn't it?? (considering the placement guidelines). Very nice construction. SL TFTC
FTF replaced cache! All in good order! Cant believe I walked around and around and then it suddenly dawned on me! Hahaha
Will need to visit another day. I thought I may have found the remnants but no cache. TFTH Lovely area to visit.
The better half had a girls day out in Halls Head with some old friends and on the way we called in to find this cache.
Found without problems and the log signed.
Thanks Team Good Energy for the cache.

Was first for the day and as others have said tricky hide and eyesight needed to be keen. Well hidden and TFTC
Wow today was soooooooooo hard it took us ages we almost went home but we found it all thanks to super mum ✌️✌️✌️
With a couple of hours to spare, we headed down Mandurah way today to find a few caches... Luckily I had a keen eye for this one & soon had the prize to hand! Nearly thought we would need to get a tool from the car, but Jase soon had the logbook in his hand TFTC Team Good Energy!
TFTC Team Good Energy!On my way to view a few rentals in the area and decided to collect a few caches on the way, most of them were quick finds with a few tricky one...TFTC
