The best cache I have done in a while! Took the green (easy) Beam Me Up Scotty track up the hill and then proceeded down Brown Street which was lots of fun. Reluctantly pulled up at GZ and took a while to find the sneaky cache in a place I had already looked in. Log signed then continued along Brown Street till I connected with the green Vertically Challenged link track. Then the real fun begins. OMDB is all downhill and awesome all the way. Would give this more than 1 favourite point if I could. TFTC Whitey100. Had a blast.
Taurus Six and I are happy to be having a long weekend down Dunsborough / Yalingup / Cowramarup / Margaret River way . Perfect weather for it and perfect time of year for a visit down this way . We always aim to see new things and explore new areas each time we come down this way . In between wineries, gourmet foods, bushwalking and exploring there is also always plenty of time for geocaching . There are still lots of caches in this general area that we have not yet collected so we have plenty of choice which makes the experience all the more enjoyable . This was our sixth cache find of the day along with the near by local Adventure Labs . We enjoyed the mini trek to this gz the trick was knowing which track to be on, luckily we finally worked it out. Once at gz there were certainly plenty of options with which the hint matched. We found in about the fifth. Thanks for the cache whitey 100 .
Out for a morning run around Meelup beach and I thought I would grab this one on the way back. I didn't have a bike but they are are interesting track to run along. I scared a large kangaroo on the way in. Once at GZ it didn't take long to locate.

We have bern going back through our hundreds of draft logsand find among other things that we have draft logs for multiple events and caches which we have attended or found. While the individual specifics of the events may have faded with time we are sure we chatted to a number of the usual suspects about the usual topics. It is also highly likely that we took the opportunity to eat and/or drink depending in the location. We dont mind a cappuccino?? And the caches were found often with others on the same date and some on our own. Virtuals and DCs get on the list as we wait for replies to our answers, which to be fair we sometimes miss We are hoping to get our draft numbers down to a manageable level. So a belated thank you for your cache and apologies for the late log ??
Fittingly, I was on my bike and spectating at the Dunsborough round of the mountain bike cross country champs and this cache was just inside the course, so I waited for a gap in the traffic and went for a look! Bit of a prickle in the way of the hidey hole - ouch. Quick find though, TFTC!
Working in Busselton for the Ironman event, collecting some finds I missed during WAGB.
Thank you Whitey100
Thank you Whitey100
Headed out to find a few caches whilst the rest of the family went fishing! This was my first find for the day after we had driven by this one many times over the weekend, I decided to hunt it down. I don’t think I approached this one from the correct spot but the prize was found in the first spot I looked

Hi there Whitey100 - today was an opportunity to introduce JediahC to CITO caching. This cache was a quick find after we attended the CITO at Eagle Bay. The container and log are in good condition - SL. Thanks to Whitey100 for this cache - our find #5950.
Smaller and tricky to find. We never the clue.
Thanks for the cache. We made our way in from the road.

Too extreme for me. On my 29er I didn’t stand a chance of crossing any of the rock bridges. Thanks for the hide.
Downs south for the long weekend. doing what we love best, Tearing up the trails and the added bonus of a cache along the way.
having parked at the car park and after a lap or two of the OMBD downhill we called past here while doing a lap of brown street

Off to the shops so that I can feed the muggle wife and kids. A quick stop and a quick jaunt for a quick grab without them knowing. Thankyou

Out for a ride with AlliedOz and The Fitzy’s once we found ground Zero we came away with a fairly quick find TFTC!
While the girls were shopping in Dunsborough I took off to find a couple of caches. This took a while to find the hidey hole.
Thanks Whitey100 for the cache.

Wednesday arvo caching with Pood, came across only 2 bikes on the track, after a bit of a search,came up with the cache, TFTC
Went for a Christmas day ride with Kooksta. We zigzagged up the hill and eventually found GZ.
I parked on the road opposite Endicott and had a nice walk to the GZ. A very windy day but nice
TFTC! Found on a weekend away down south to Margaret river, dunsborough and surrounds cleaning up a bunch of caches Cravo and I haven't been able to pickup on previous visits. Was a lovely weekend with good views, good food and good company.
Most caches were found in good shape with good co ordinates. Thanks

Out for a early MTB ride- eventually found this cache after weaving my way down from the country club Tftc love these trails!! Awesome!!
Eight of us set off to find this. We are staying very close by. We were undecided whether to follow a trail, or bush bash and ended up doing a bit of each. Kids loved it. TFTC
After completing the Tour of Margaret River cycling race today I headed out for some caches this afternoon. After heading to the top of the cape first I worked my way back down.
I have ridden these trails many times, including the obstacles right near the cache, but when I'm out riding I don't have time to stop and look for caches, so it was going to have to be on foot today.
Once I navigated my way to GZ it was a relatively quick and easy find. It looks like a previous finder has left their caching notebook behind near GZ.
Thanks for the cache Whitey100!

My car no chance at getting into the car park so a nearby park and off I wandered. Looks like a good mountain bike park however today I was on foot. Quick find at GZ. TFTC
Thanks for the hide Whitey100. Spent the day finding some caches around Cape Naturaliste and Yallingup. Thanks for takings to this fantastic spot would never have know of these tracks otherwise.
Parked at the gates to the trail and a pleasant bush walk to gz with iluvtrekking to make a quick find. Thanks Whitey100
Day two of the WA Goes Big weekend in Busselton
And, what a fantastic day it was, catching up with old friends and meeting new ones too. The weather was perfect and there was plenty of new caches to be found. Thanks Whitey100, we didn't have the bikes with us but it was a very pleasant walk to GZ with richlink.

Walked in on main track then realised I had to follow the bike tracks. Did it quickly as a bike race was about to start. Great spot for a cache.
Out on the bikes with the Mrs. Took a bit of hunting to find the right spot as riding with the phone job hand is not recommended on these tracks. TFTC
I had no idea that the bike trails were here so that was interesting. Unfortunately I didn't have my bike with me today but it made for a pleasant walk anyway. Sugarygoodness came for the walk part of the way before the little girl took a tumble and had to return to the car. Quick find upon arrival at GZ, which makes for a pleasant surprise when one us searching for a micro in the bush. Tftc
Wow. Decided to go bush from Naturaliste Rd. Should have worn appropriate gear. Geowife will not be amused. Wouldn't try this in 6 months for fear of meeting Mr Joe Blake or one of his mates. Nasty.
Came down to Busselton for a couple of days R & R. What better to do than team up with urch and her hubby for a day of caching. As we approached gz my heart sank - so many places to hide a micro. Not to worry though because I got lucky and had the cache in hand super quickly. Thanks Whitey100
We took a different route to that suggested as we were on shanks pony, not mountain biking. Thankfully the cache was quickly found despite it being a micro in the bush.
Thanks for the cache Whitey100.
Thanks for the cache Whitey100.
We certainly are not part of a mountain bike group but still had no problems walking in from the nearby sealed road and making a quick find. Good job and thanks for not placing it too far into the wilderness.

Know people in England who would love these trails. Done via foot. May come down on our bikes some time. Looks like a fun trail! Tftc
Nice stroll in the bush, will have to come back with our bikes some time. TFTC.
Yay! Got this as a FTF. Surprised it was still unclaimed. Great walk on a new trail. TNLNSL. TFTC
Well that was a blast! Not the FTF but well worth the trip. I've ridden the Pile Road course a number of times but never this one - it's a really clever design - and I came soo close to going over the handlebars (close your index finger towards your thumb and stop at about 1cm) on the big log/rock crossing about 3/4 of the way down, thank goodness for disc brakes.
Thanks for the cache Whitey; keep them coming!
