second time this cache has been destroyed or disappeared, and people going such a short distance from the road to use the bush as a toilet leads me to abandon this spot

Think this one has gone walkabout. All indications are that it should be an easy find. We scratched around and poked around for a while with no luck. Looks like GZ has been used for toileting purposes, which does not make searching a very happy process.
Easy find dropped a track able and a path tag. Left barbie watch, pukeko key ring and hand clapping key ring, took scissors & bottle opener.
Quick find on our way south to Port Hedland and beyond. Not impressed by the rubbish. Thanks for the hide.
3:24:00 PM. A quick driveby. No one around but the rubbish. Signed log and left heading for a camp site north for the night. Thanks Chan 5456 for placing this cache.
Nice quick grab. Too geocoin - heading north. Such a pity about all the rubbish around. Left trinket
Found this one after watching a beautiful sunrise on 80 mile beach on our way south! T4TC and greeting from Switzerland!
Ahhhh almost missed it ..well camo.ed took TB , left TB + koala ...had lunch .good spot to place ......TFTC
Found easily at the relocated co-ords. A nice stop before heading into Hedland.

Travelling North and across the top. Hard to stop with a caravan in tow but a roadside stop makes it that much easier. Nice easy find. loved the camo. Left a geocoin TB. TFTC Chan 5456

Original Pilbara Special go burned as Pilbara landscape does and should as a part of the Flora renewal. Unfortunately the log and content pretty much burned as did the cammo and so I have moved it to a new unburnt spot. Still nice and easy so good luck and the log is new so it is not s FTF, cheers

I stopped and found this cache sitting in the open after a fire had gone through the area.
Due to it being a metal tin the log book partially survived, and I then place the container under a nearby clump of spinifex.
Best to do some maintenance on this one.

Was having a cache hunting afternoon, and was also experiencing the joys of the open road - in a company car. Out this way, even on Sunday's the quad road trains are constantly passing - no such thing as a quiet highway. After some initial wandering, I looked again at the clue - ahhh. it's just there.
Opening the lid ( which almost cost me some finger nails ) actually took more time than finding the cache. Great expanses of grassland scrub with some interesting hills in the middle distance.

This was another find in Western Australia while crossing Northern Territory and Western Australia from Darwin to Perth on Gibb River Road through the Kimberlys. During this 8500km journey we've met many nice and friendly people [^], visited countless marvelous places, saw lots of interesting local wildlife (and plants), took some 2500 pictures home and logged some 300 Caches .
This one we found at second or third sight, it's been that well camouflaged with Spinifex .
Thanks for the cache, we've enjoyed it very much [^].

What good timing. We had to pull off the road for a 5 metre wide load, so this was a very convenient spot to wait while it went past. A cache and a huge bit of mining machinery in the same spot!
As usual we were well prepared in our thongs and shorts. We hate spinifex! Nicely camoed cache.

Another drive day heading west towards Port Hedland.
Hardly any muggles around and some good quick finds.
It's very warm around here, especially for the end of June!!!

With my hand wrapped in a rag I found the cache fairly quickly on the second circuit. TFTC
2TF! We put on the gloves that always stay in the bag and seldom get used. Took a while because the GPS is all over the place out here. Good camo. TFTC
FTF A quick but prickly find on a bakingly hot day. Delighted to find an empty log book so far from home. Dropped TB we picked up much further south. TFTC and TFTFTF.
