An easy find, TFTC. I made a small diversion off the Bibbulmun Track in order to locate it. All good with the logbook - nice and dry.
We decided to head out early to do a bit of caching before the heat of the day.
TFTC JacobsCrew this is find # 8741 for us.

Love this series - don't know why I haven't tackled it before! All relatively straightforward finds so far (9 - 18) in a beautiful area of national park that's easily accessible. The logs in caches 12 and 17 were very damp and in need of replacing - the clues for each are still easily read though not sure how much longer that will be the case. Hopefully will be back to complete the rest of the series during the week. Thanks for the caches JacobsCrew!
We headed out for another day up in the hills and surrounding areas to add a few more smilies, happy to say we came up trumps here today with a nice quick find TFTC
Out with themongrel for a sunday morning walk and then of course somewhere for lunch, We decided on this series as it was nearby a venue we wanted to go for lunch. Most of the caches were easily found including a archived cache which is still in place. TFTC Jacobscrew2. We didn't get all of them today but the few we have left we will grab during the week.
A day out with Itskate doing some walk trails TFTH

After turning around to head home after No. 7, I couldn't resist stopping to find this one on my way back! A easy locate but the area required a bit of de-webbing before retrievel!
I forgot to get the bonus code on this one too, so had to go back! Right, I'm definitely heading home now! TFTC

Thank you! I've had my eye on this series for a while, and decided today was the day. The forecasted showers and storm never eventuated, so with blue skies it ended up warmer than I expected. I did the series in numerical order, as that seemed to involve the least backtracking. Found this one without too much issue.
Saw a likely spot and a hint of green as I got closer and made the easy find. Tftc
The weather finally had mercy on human kind in the region and let some spring out, so what better way to spend a day, than geocaching in a good company! Teamed up with Mistraluna, and decided to tackle the Outback Jack series, to get some fresh air, good exercise and lots of smileys on a beautiful walk and believe it or not, no flies, no mozzies - Perfecto! And the best bit was, that we found all the caches, yay!
Headed up this way today with Eliktrisiti, hoping to knock out the Outback Jack series which has been on my radar for way too long, but I just never seemed to get out here to do them. Previous plans always seem to go awry for one reason or another.
But the planets aligned for us today, and two eager geocachers sallied forth, ready for rain, hail or shine, set on a mission to conquer this series at long last. Fortunately the weather held out for us for the entire two circuits, and we managed to find each and every one of the caches (had to resort to PAF on one of them though), whilst another took considerable longer to find than we anticipated also, but we found both eventually. Most of the caches were in good order, but several along the southernmost section of the series were a tad wet and could do with with some TLC when the CO is next out that way.
All in all, an excellent series of caches. Thank you JacobsCrew2 for all the work that went into the planning and placement of this series. We really enjoyed our day out there - was hoping for more wildflowers, but hey, can't have everything I guess. Am more than happy with my swag of smileys.

Got it! \o/.
Headed up into the hills to attempt the Outback Jack Bush walk series. Brought a muggle mate (PBD) with me to introduce him into our sport. Turns out he loves it. What a beautiful peaceful area. Please excuse the copy paste.
Quick find here too, after we had to backtrack due to excessive chatting...

TFTC Series JacobsCrew2
Thinking it was going to be the last cool day for a while AutumnOwl and I set out to make a start on this series, it was nice to do a series with such a variety of sizes and styles which kept us on our toes. Some finds were quick, others we searched high and low for. Was a pity to see someone before us had snapped the tops off blackboys at a number of GZ's leaving arrows and 'x' marks the spot. I'm a big believer in leaving a place as it is found. Thank you for bringing us to the beautiful piece of bush. TFTC
We decided to do a bush series before the hot weather hits. Today was a beautiful cool spring day and we really enjoyed the walk. Still no one in sight at this cache, another found quickly with the GPS jumping around still, at least it brings us to the area of ground zero. Fussbits phone was doing a bit better than mine I think on some of them. Hadn't given the magpies any thought until this cache and there were a few around, but haven't been swooped yet this season, trusty hat on helps. Thanks for another cache in this series, can't wait to return and finish it.
TFTC! Teamed up with a mate this morning to cleanup a loop of the Outback Jack series, before returning the favour and helping out moving some gym equipment after the states on the weekend. Had an enjoyable morning hitting the trailhead at 6am and finding the first few with the assistance of the flash light. Found 20 plus caches with two DNFs. Thanks
Decided to tackle the Outback Jack series today. Parked across the road from #18 and started there. Logged that one at 2:32pm and the last one (#15 - a DNF) at 6:07pm. Found 30 caches and had 5 DNFs. There were 3 that I didn't attempt as it was dark by the time I was on the last leg from 7 through 15 ... I have new specs with a new prescription and was not confident walking through the scrub in the dark so I only did the ones close to the track.
Of the DNFs, I think 34 may be missing and possibly 5 ... I did have a good look for both of those while it was still light, but the others were in the dark and I only had a quick look before moving on.
Thanks for this series JacobsCrew ... I did enjoy the walk, the only downer being the appalling amount of rubish that is dumped in the bush.
I will be back one day for the ones I didn't get. Sorry for generic log

We had a spare day in Perth today and had planned to tackle the Outback Jack series. We woke up to a perfectly beautiful autumn day, so armed with our gps and some supplies we headed off down into the bush. We found all 38 of the caches today, so sorry about the rather generic logs that will be posted on all 38. The caches were hidden in many diverse places. Some were very easy to find, others were more of a challenge. Most were in very good condition apart from one that was rather wet. There are a myriad of tracks running through this bushland, and you do really need a gps to be able to locate where you are and where you have been. We came across some cross country runners as well as a number of mountain bikers who were also enjoying the trails. We even walked on part of the northern end of the Bibbulmun Track, which was interesting as we spend a lot of time on the southern end of it. Thanks JacobsCrew2 for all the work that must have gone into placing all these caches for our enjoyment. We enjoyed the walk and also finding them.
Nice walk around this lovely area with fellow geocachers. Quick find. Thanks for this series.
After successfully completing the first half of this walk a couple weeks ago, I returned this morning with CaVED, PerthGirl65 and a couple friends to complete the series. Most of the caches were quite easy finds. A gorgeous morning for a walk! Thanks JacobsCrew2 for this cache and the entire series.
Did the first half of this series 2 weeks ago and today was a perfect day to find the rest. This was the nineteenth of 22 caches we found in this series today. TFTC, JacobsCrew2
A really hot day and just today we decide to do this bush walk.
We were glad when we arrived back at the parking place. Thank you to the owner.

Very enjoyable day walking around the park collecting these caches. Thanks JacobsCrew2 for laying out this series.
(Chwiliwr team catch up log)
I allowed Chwiliwr to go out for a 'walk' so he came up to do this series. Started out cool enough but soon there was a thunderstorm nearby which stopped him for a while until it passed. He walked some more of the series and then there was another storm. Although he did plan to do all of the series the two storms ensured that he didn't have enough time so will have to come back another day to finish them off with me.
Thanks JacobsCrew2 for the cache and series so far.

The better half allowed me to go out for a 'walk' so I came up to do this series. Started out cool enough but soon there was a thunderstorm nearby which stopped me for a while until it passed and made me wet. I walked some more of the series and then there was another storm which stopped me again and this time saturated me. They were not that close and only got the rain bits not the lightning. Although I did plan to do all of the series the two storms ensured that I didn't have enough time so will have to come back another day to finish them off.
I think the storms were affecting the signals as I didn't find any of the GZ locations to be all that accurate today but I did find the caches in the end.

Noticed this series of caches not so long ago and thought it would be a good opportunity to visit the area. Great series; Coords were generally accurate and the hides were good. Thanks very much JacobsCrew. Great weather for January!
Finally got around to do some serious caching. 2014 has been a lean year with less 100 added to my tally. So today was the day to bring up the 1000 Cache, and what a fantastic series. Countless birds, beautiful scenery and plenty a kangaroos to enjoy the walk with. Not to mention the thousands of spiders who had to build new webs.. A great series. Thank You.. TNLN
Out and about trying to hunt down the series on a Sunday
Nice hide moving along nicely enjoying the walk

Bush caching trek with with S'n'N to tackle this series. Beautiful place for a walk. TFTC
decided togive this series a decent bash with mikirst today. got at least 28 of this series today. was a beautiful sunny day to tackle them on foot . nice area even though when i got back home i noticed i had three unwanted hitch hikers .(ticks yuk!!) but tftc's
Debated whether to carry on down this track or start heading back to the car after this one, the kids decided they were tired so going to come back another day to finish the series nice easy find here, might try and get some of the last ones on our way back to calamunda camel farm parking area tftc's!!!
A big morning for geocaching. Was really nice to do the series with some others on the side. Unfortunately, I missed 5 of them. Maybe Ill be back on day. They are all really easy but some of them are like 10m away of my gps position!!!! Thanks anyway for the caches as it was a rally great pleasure to do them.

Found it with Ross1957. What a good way to spend the morning, good company, good bushland, exercise, wild flowers, and annoying tricky caches to find, some easy some hard.
After starting this series a few weeks ago I've come back with Fernio to try and complete it.
We found all the ones we looked for some being really easy and some we had to spend some time on. Had to
look back on previous logs on a couple and even phoned a friend on one.
It is great to have the company and an extra pair of eyes.
Thanks JacobsCrew2 for a fun series.
