MUM KNOWS BEST Carmel, Western Australia, Australia
By Fernandogirls on 04-May-14. Waypoint GC545NW

Found and left no trinkets as it is full. Found a friendly cockroach in this one. Log is a little wet. TFTC

Thanks for the sorting log. I needed it after the hike up the hill. Plastic box has gone. Log book all gone to bits.

We love a full sized container. Cache was found after a walk that was very convoluted. We generally seemed to follow ask the wrong tracks but got there in the end.

Doing this track before the rain starts with MitchDem, then we'll go for a cheese melt at the cheese shop, easy find but as per previous finds, its only a log book and cache sign, no container, TFTC

Cache needs a little TLC. Tftc

No container here just a very wet log. Needs some tlc

Touched base with Tiger777 this morning to get out of the house for some caching. We were on our way out to Darlington and pulled off Ridge Hill Rd briefly to see if there were caches nearby, when I noticed there was an FTF in Carmel. We quickly changed plans and met up with others in Carmel once we got there.

Nice quick find here. No container though, just the logbook and laminated cache note tucked inside the log. Might need a checkup from the CO. Cheers Fernandogirls!

Decided it was time to get away from the city for the day. So we headed for the hills to grab some cache!

Out in Carmel with L1.77 & 777T. Quick find TFTH

Come up to the Roleystone bush to find a recently published cache and ended up pulling out the mountain bike where I raced around the trails.

There was a freshly stacked broken branch on GZ. All I could find was the cache label and no container.

I added a new log book and placed it on the cache label and tucked it back in the hollow. It will need a new container. CO has photos.

Morgo the geo found MUM KNOWS BEST today and had a great time.

I am certainly getting some exercise today. TFTC fernandogirls

What a beautiful old tree. Quick find. Tftc

Sixth find on a mountain bike ride from Kalamunda out to Pickering Brook and back on the newly-signposted trails. Did a SpatialRiq and walked past it first time round. Mrs O looked more closely and saw it. TFTC!

Gorgeous little find - thanks from this Geomum out with her kiddoes and dog.

Out with the doggies

Nice hide! Tftc!

Out for an afternoon of geocaching while the geogirlfriend went to a wedding. Beautiful weather made for a great day on the bike!

Apparently I had taken a wrong turn as I needed to bush bash to find this one. Oops!

Tftc took slinky left ball game

Found with the geokids. Great spot. TFTC

Nice one, TFTC!

Easy find tftc

Found with dad, spatialriq.

With the kids school not starting until Wednesday I decided on a caching day in the hills would be a great way to spend such a glorious day.
Fifth find of the day. This one took several minutes to find, just didn't look properly the first time. TFTC

Found quite quickly TFTC

TFTC! Spent the day out caching with Barnzy12 and krabiBoy. We went to the suburbs of Lesmurdie, Kalamunda and Carmel chasing a number of quick and easy park and grabs, a few
Archived caches, and a few caches that helped fill some DT Grid.

We changed the dynamic up today, Barnzy Drove and i instantly regretted the decision not to take my car however it was due for a service and i was now the navigator. So we picked KrabiBoy up from Bayswater area where he was getting some extra bits added to his car.

We chased a heap of nanos and micro caches in Kalamunda, a few of which seemed to be missing, which was quite frustrating, and we had some DNFs through there. We then avoided other micros in the area and concentrated on some simple park and grabs to get the numbers up for the day.

We then moved our attention to the lesmurdie falls national park and grabbed a few odd caches in there including a nice and simple Earth Cache.

We moved further into lesmurdie area and grabbed a few of the small bunches of caches placed by fernandogirls, which were mostly nice quick grabs. The outback jack series was next which we completed quickly before heading to the car to grab the final in the series, which has been on the radar for far too long.

Thanks to the COs for a Great day out and we can't wait to come back for more!!

TFTC! Spent the day out caching with Cravo10 and krabiBoy. We caches out the suburbs of Lesmurdie, Kalamunda and Carmel chasing a number of quick and easy park and grabs, a few
Archived caches, and a few caches that helped fill some of KrabiBoys DT Grid.

We changed the dynamic up today, with Cravos car in for a service we had to take my car and have me drive and him on the Nav, which is an interesting role reversal from the norm. So we picked KrabiBoy up from Bayswater area where he was getting some extra bits added to his car.

We chased a heap of nanos and micro caches in Kalamunda, a few of which seemed to be missing, which was quite frustrating, and we had some DNFs through there. We then avoided other micros in the area and concentrated on some simple park and grabs to get the numbers up for the day.

We then moved our attention to the lesmurdie falls national park and grabbed a few odd caches in there including a nice and simple Earth Cache. We encountered some decent terrain through the area, which really got the heart racing and even had me forgetting to navigate us to the last cache in a small loop we grabbed!!

We moved further into lesmurdie area and grabbed a few of the small bunches of caches placed by fernandogirls, which were mostly nice quick grabs before turning our attention to the last loop I had left of the outback jack series, which we completed quickly before heading to the car to grab the final in the series, which has been on the radar for far too long.

All in all it was a great day, with many tall tales told and war stories shared. A fair bit of piss take on my driving skills and Cravos navigation skills until we decided to restore order by having Cravo drive my new car! Which thankfully came
Back in one piece.

Thanks to the COs for a lovely day out and we can't wait to come back for more!!

For a long time, Barnzy12, cravo10 and I have been trying to tee up a day to head out and grab some caches. Finally the planets aligned and we were able to get out and about today.

We headed up the hill to start clearing up some of the caches around Lesmurdie and Carmel.

TFTC Fernandogirls.

A very late log for this one, have no idea why I didnt log it straight away.

TFTC

Well the footy is over and we still had some caches to find and a day planned with Me&B and m4yb, so instead of doing the really scary snake area we decided on this little group. Drove the GeoJazz to the parking spot and met up with Me&B headed to this one to complete and anticlockwise circuit.

I wish we had mum's knowledge here, finding the right track was fun, but some great walks and wonderful wildflowers, such a lovely spot.

A great hide TFTC Fernandogirls

Enjoying finding some great caches by this CO on our Carmel walk!
I made the find here, and grabbed the trackable for some more travels.
TFTC Fernandosgirls!

Nice... Beautiful spot to choose for mum your ladies

Back in the Hills again to find a handful of the apparently infinite amount of caches to improve the stats a little bit.
For the first part of the day I parked the car and walked around in the bush. The challenge was more to find the right track to get to the next hide. The wide variety of hides kept me smiling on the way.
The trail I chose brought me to this cache but I did not mind. Quick find, TFTH.

There seem to be tracks everywhere and it was a perfect day for it . Not too much trouble. thanks Fernandogirls

Tftc. Nice quick find here.

Waled the track from Shonky Nuts down to this one. A quick find. Thanks Fernandogirls

We loved the different containers and the varied hides. Thanks Fernandogirls for your series of caches in the area.

I walked over to this one from SNAILS PACE and enjoyed making my way along the mountain bike tracks to get towards GZ. A quick and easy find here of a nice sized container. Thanks for the cache Fernandogirls!

(late log)

Chwiliwr convinced me to go caching so packed a picnic lunch and off we went up into the area surrounding this cache.

A quick find here after walking in from where we parked the car.

Thanks Fernandogirls for the cache.

I had a few hours to kill before the rest of the family woke up so I headed out to the hills just before dawn to see how many caches I could find until I got the hurry-up call to get home. Very peaceful, still morning. Saw many kangaroos, several large lizards and I was almost run over by about a dozen mountain bikers. Such a great area to explore. Quick and easy find. Plenty of quality swaps, but TNLN. TFTC Fernandogirls

After both computers went slow for no apparent reason I gave up doing my volunteer work and convinced the Better Half to go caching instead so packed a picnic lunch and off we went up into the area surrounding this cache.

Thanks Fernandogirls for the cache.

In the hills today finding a few caches, we decided to concentrate on finding the little treasures in this area... We approached this one along the side of the orchard & could not believe our luck when a fire truck was pulled up next to GZ

That kind of freaked us out so we turned around & decided to have a picnic not too far away from the location... Whilst I made lunch, Jase took a wander back to the cache & found the fire truck empty & no sign of anyone around so he made a quick grab of the cache

TFTC Fernandogirls [^] Not sure where the firemen were, but we did see the truck drive out from the area some time later?

Came back up into the hills this arvo to see if I could knock off some more caches. I had done a couple in this area before and it was my intention to come back at some point to clear the map. I had had a go at four today and found three, a nice stroll along the track on a fairly warm day.

A very quick find here, sat down to do the signing duties.

Fernandogirls - jinta29 found your cache MUM KNOWS BEST on 31/12/2014 10:05 am. This is my find #2597 and find #18 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Another quick find! Thanks Fernandogirls!

Thanks TB missing

It was a very pleasant trek through the forest to do this series of caches on a lovely spring day. Most were easily spotted. Took the TB and left my pathtag.
Thanks for the caches and the exercise Fernandogirls.

What great girls you are to do such a lovely thing for your mum as to hide her a cache and then to acknowledge that she knows best in the title. Thanks Fernandogirls.

Hope these co-ords takes you closer

This one took us a while our coordinates were about 6 metre out, we looked for a likely spot and cache was soon in hand. Great cache with lots of goodies we wished we had the geograndkiddies with us they would have loved this one. We did comment it seems ages since we seen a full cache like this. thanks for bringing us out here.

I was on a maintenance run to the hills to check on my cache 'What do cachers do all day' and used the excuse to find a few caches whilst up there. This cache was one of them. The cache was an easy find as it was sitting in plain view with nothing covering it. I've pushed it in a bit further and covered it so as to hide it from muggles. TFTC.

This one was a nice cache found quite easily but was a nice spot reminded me of one of my hidden caches spot! TFTC

Found it after walking up the orchard, ignoring the track then had to clamber over rocks rivaling the great wall of china! Nice cache full of stuff too good for the pirate TB. I'll find him an appropriate hm.

Popped in TB

We're in the hills again today to grab a couple of recent Fernandogirls hides.
Drove the geocommodoreute up the track and located the target quickly. Signed the log and grabbed the TB. Took a pic of the falling fruit tree leaves too.
TFTC Fernandogirls.

I was going to come back up this way tomorrow but with the weather not looking to good i changed my mind and came up this morning to grab a couple of caches. It was great to see Fernandogirls put a couple more caches out as well lol..... I made hard work of this cache as i wasnt sure if i could drive my car all the way down so i parked near the main road and walked about 320 metres. Once finally at GZ the good sized cache container was found quickly TFTC fernandogirls

Published

Driving home from the girlfriends place a noticed a couple of new caches got published, drove up the hill to see if I was in luck for the FTF. As I approached GZ, I had it in hand quickly to sign the log..FTF at 2.15pm...TFTC

Popped in TB.
