Sadly I am unable to maintain this hide any longer

Will make a decision re this hide this week

I will check within 2 weeks - replace or archive ?

I plan on checking on this cache in the next couple of weeks.

This hide is not forgotten,hope to check on it soon

I still need to check on this one and make a decision re replacing it. Will do as soon as possible .

Will check tomorrow

13:05
We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out!
Maybe it has gone down with the Lass of Geraldton!!

Thanks for the hunt anyway Luna Maya .

Last find in August 2016 and now 2 DNF's. Perhaps a check by the CO to ensure it hasn't been covered by sand drift?

This is the 1st of 1 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]

We spent quite some time here at around 12:26:00 PM in the company of NicoJN. Despite quite a lot of digging we just couldn't locate your cache, so here's a DNF from us - - - not stating it's not there... just that we couldn't spot it.

NicoJN may be prepared to come back with a shovel [:(!]

Ian and Penny

On our trip around Australia we stoped here to grab the Cache.
Thank's to show us this beautiful place.

Greetings from Switzerland.

Found it #180

Sweet. Commando crawling required. Love it. Lol

In good condition, tftc

TFTC, by myself today on my geobike, rest of the crew busy with other stuff.

Found the cache without any problems and despite the wind. Interesting to read about the ship and thanks to Luna Maya for the series.

A lovely walk along the beach brought us here and EB99 volunteered to do the retrieval.
Thanks for bringing us here, awesome views.

All dried out and back in location.

Amazingly I found this cache 200 meters north washed up on the beach after the storm. What's the chances of that. I have taken it home to dry out and will replace when I can.

Got dirty trying to find it but still good fjn

Nice easy one. Thanks

Quick easy find, TFTC!

Tftc out in open in sand have replaced not sure it correct

TFTC! Found on a day caching run with cravo10 to Mandurah and surrounds. Thanks

Out with on a Wednesday caching run tfth TFTC.

CO might need to check location - as per my post.

CO might want to check this is in the right place. Seemed a bit in the open as far as I was concerned - and looks like 'people' have been having a party there right with it. TFTC.

Found and Replaced

The dunes are trying to engulf the gz. Isquba finally managed.
Chris & Renate from Ontario, Canada

Found with Jackylegs44,,tftc sl tnln.

The daily walk and daily cache . Beautiful beach and ocean. The highlight of our caching tour and while finding this cache was the dolphins we saw jumping out of the water. A whole pod of them. That truly made our day! We quickly retrieved it, signed it and rehid it. tftc sl tnln

This was a nice find while I was in Mandurah today. After a short walk down to the beach, I soon found it in the logical place, lol. Nice cache, and just as well I'm a caver. Now I understand the log below written by bathurst. I signed the log then replaced it as found. Thanks for the cache.

Well that was interesting and a few choice words were spoken by Geo Mum on the retrieval of the cache from its hiding spot. TFTC

Nice afternoon to be out and about caching. A few muggles on the beach today, didn’t seem to see me ducking in and out. Could not replace cache so that is hidden very well!

Found this one with ROSS1957 On the way to the Mandurah event.

TFTC

Down Mandurah way with Me@B to go to the Meet and Greet event.
TFTC

Beautiful spot, thanks for bringing us here!

Originally found & logged under the family caching name 'clan-wallace' but it is time to reinvent ourselves

There have been a few finds on this one recently and so we decided to give it another try. No trouble at all & all in good order. TFTC

Down in Mandurah to do some puzzle caches and called in to find this one whilst in the area before returning home.

Found cache without problems as it was quite visible. Signed log and returned cache to where I found it but a bit more hidden.

Thanks Luna Maya for the cache.

Kyzabra shot in to make the grab on this one . A beautiful morning down by the beach

Luna Maya - jinta29 found your cache ~ Lass of Geraldton ~ on 13/09/2015 8:34 am. This is my find #3872 and find #8 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Jinta29 and I decided to head out this morning and grab a few smileys.

Another quick find here by Jinta.

Luna Maya - Kyzabra found your cache ~ Lass of Geraldton ~ on 13/09/2015 8:34 am. This is my find #3725 and find #10 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Tftc Cheers

Down at Halls Head to meet the Rove cyclists who do an annual ride from Currambine (think top of the Mitchell freeway) to Bunbury and back again. Dome is the lunch stop, so while waiting for them we took a wander. Sent geokid1 in to retrieve but it was a bit stuck so muggins Mrs O had to retrieve it instead. Signed the log and returned to it's hiding spot. TFTC

Geohubby retrieved this cache from it's hiding spot whilst I watched out for muggles. Being a Thursday morning with rain on the horizon there wasn't anyone in sight. TFTC Luna Maya

tough to find..but it is not buried....thanks

Day thirty of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747.
Spent the day on the deadly treadlies riding all around bits of Mandurah. We started on the Greek Alphabet, then the Horse trail, the Marlee Reserve (for lunch), then a few odd ones to finish up on the 366 challenge for BB.
The path here has recently been was down the hill onto the landing, and there is a considerable hole just before the landing. We suspect the cache might be buried - that's our excuse anyway No cache for us today.
Thanks, Robmc.

Not having a good day down here.

Decided it was a nice day to get the bike out and have a ride as well pick a few caches along the coastal path. Had a good look for this, will have to leave it for another day. 4 DNF’s for the short time out today, not one of my better days!!!

Out today attempting some GC therapy but this one had me stumped, suppose I better return with geokids and geohubby as they always seem to find them when I cant! This one will be a smiley soon!

Headed out to the Mandurah area today to enjoy this beautiful weather & stopped to find this cache along the way... This cache took a bit of searching & it may have been because it looked like someone was living here that stopped us from searching in the right spot We did eventually just decide to head on in & Jase soon had the cache to hand!

TFTC Luna Maya

Thank you Luna Maya for hiding another cache. It was a quick stop to log this find this morning.

We chose this cache as the end marker for our run as it was a good distance from where we are staying. I was quite surprised to see the name 'Lass of Geraldton' as we too are from Geraldton. I made the distance easily and set about searching. The sand in the shoes wasn't very pleasant but we soon had the cache in our hands. Getting out was more difficult than getting in.

Found this one easily this time. Don't know why we didn't find it before. Almost positive we looked there last time. Thankfully can now claim a smiley face for this one. Thanks Luna Maya for the cache. All is good with the cache. Took trackable to move on.

Second visit. We were not able to reach the hiding place even though we knew where it was so visited with gordan 317 who is much, much our junior and she had no difficulty. Dropped off a TB. Great series. Enjoying the history. TFTC

Another find whilst out with Aus Vrede - no muggles nearby. TFTC.

Geokids found this one on a gorgeous windy walk along the beach

Like others before us, we almost walked away with a dnf here. But one last look and we fortunately spotted the well hidden container. Thanks Luna Maya.

But tricky to get out! TFTC

Tftf

After being flushed with success at our FTF on another cache in this series further down the coast we thought we would follow up with another find here but alas it was not to be. A lot of sand on this structure blown in from the beach and we dug where we thought it may have been but no success. Looked in every nook and cranny but this one eluded us. Will have to put on our watched list to see if anyone else has more luck than us and return at a later date. TFTC Luna Maya.

TEAM HAY-LEE!

Well hidden by mother nature. Tftc.

Out and about to try to clear the map of some close to home caches. I thought I might have another DNF here, but finally tracked this one down in the last place checked. Had some trouble extracting it.
Thanks for the cache and the series Luna Maya.

Found while on a family walk after school. Thanks for the find !

As the CO knows, I had been saving this one for a day when I needed to fill in a blank on my geocaching calendar. Today was the day.

Have to report that the Lass was hiding really well today (had a bit of extra camo added by Mother Nature). But I found her none the less.

Might be an idea if future cachers make sure that at least an edge is still visible when they replace the cache.

Thanks for the smiley Luna Maya

Nice easy find, not much to see at night but lovely spot and very windy and cold this time of year... TFTC

A quick find as we watched a paraglider fly over above us . Tftc

Out with ooyeh this morning to pick up a couple of caches... oohyeh made the find after about 5 minutes of searching.... took jooandeth path tag and also picked up sone good pieces of cuttlefish for our birds lovely view here TFTC

picked up kristybelle this morning to go and get a few caches that had recently been published. This was our second stop and this one took me a while to find after crawling around in the sand on my hands a knees lol......while i was crawling around i collected some cuttlefish for our birds, nice area TFTC Luna Maya Took the TB to move on

Took the opportunity to make this the target for our evening stroll as we don't get many new caches within walking distance these days.
Arrived at GZ to a beautiful sunset over a relatively calm sea - probably not what the "Lass of Geraldton" experienced.
Discovered the GC & pathtag left by Joo and Eth but left them for the next cacher.

Thanks for the cache Luna Maya [^] - looking forward to the rest of the series

Published

*FTF*
Another cache too close to home to ignore. Lovely stretch of beach. Left GC and our Pathtag behind.
Thanks for another great series with amazing history.
