A BUSH PICNIC Carmel, Western Australia, Australia
By Fernandogirls on 11-May-14. Waypoint GC54P9W

Took me awhile but eventually found it! Had lunch right after inspired by the container

We didn't find this one straight away as we were more concerned with the amount of Hare orchids growing at GZ- they are very small and may go unnoticed and trampled by visitors to this cache, please take care. Thanks for the cache Fernandogirls, we added one trinket.

Nice trek in from the road. TFTC

A drive along the track and an easy find. As long as you have some ground clearance this is a drive by cache.
There are some nice picnic areas up in the hills.
Thanks for the hamburger cache.

Cool cache container

Doing this track before the rain starts with MitchDem, then we'll go for a cheese melt at the cheese shop, easy find, TFTC

This one made me hungry

Cute cache, I love recycling , so something can bring a smile to someone’s face again tftc

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

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.

Cheers Fernandogirls!

Definitely a favourite
Happy munching

A very appropriate container
TFTC Fernandogirls this is find #12265 for us.

Mmmmm perhaps it is time for a lunch break. TFTC fernandogirls

I've enjoyed this walk. Another quick find. Tftc

Seventh find on a mountain bike ride from Kalamunda out to Pickering Brook and back on the newly-signposted trails. Quickly spotted in the expected spot. Not the expected container type, though! Perfect for a picnic. TFTC!

We started off early today as neither teams had to work and thought what a better way to finish off the year then with a caching run fairly close to home.

Great container, very novel, TFTC Fernandogirls!

Out with Team Barritts for a day of caching, tftc!

Great container and spot! TFTC

Swung by here to make a quick find..... and eat my lunch. Yum! I used the conveniently placed seats. TFTC

Taking little Helbren out for some bush finds tftc

Quick late arvo walk with the fam. FP from us for a clever container!

Found it with the geofam. Nice spot! Cool container. TFTC

About to give up, then spotted something that looked a little out of place.

Tftc. I like these bush ones.

No ants carried it away yet maybe they aren’t that ambitious. TFTC

Yumm yumm

Very cute tftc!

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

This one took a little longer then it should have. Sure did look tasty though!

Found with the geokids. Young bloke wanted to eat it but not to worry I made sure it was returned safe and well. TFTC

Yum, that's vegan right? TFTC!

Cute container tftc

Found with dad, spatialriq.

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.
Third find of the day. Quick one here. TFTC

Nice hide, enjoyed the walk to find it TFTC

Found it

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.

Barnzy12 has quick eyes sometimes.

TFTC Fernandogirls.

Fernandogirls, I found your cache A BUSH PICNIC on 7/07/2016.
This is my find #2795 and find #40 today.

Tftf

Second one this morning. Neat storage container. TFTC.

Was out on a gnome hunt today with Chwiliwr. Stopped near here and grabbed this one on the way past. The cache certainly made me smile. Thanks Fernandogirls.

Out to do the Camel walk with the dog and grab some caches on a fantastic Spring day. Thanks for the caches and great spot to walk so close to Perth

Found it with geowife Not the cache to find if your hungry which I was. Left a gnome and some SWAG

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.

M4yb spotted this on our approach and she made me look as though I was going to eat it! Nice spot for a.........!

A great camo here and a clever hide TFTC Fernandogirls

Enjoying finding some great caches by this CO on our Carmel walk!
Although I prefer a different type of tucker on picnics, this one deserves a fave for the fun value!
TFTC Fernandosgirls!

This cache helps me cross off another blank on my date placed grid, not too many to go now. I was sprung by a dog walking Muggle so I'm hoping he left the cache alone if he investigated after I left. Left my Pathtag. TFTC Fernandogirls.

What a cool find, kids loved it, thanks Fernandogirls

Love it very clever

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.
First find of the day, what a funny container! After completing the signing duties a group of mountain bikers nearly ran over me on the narrow track. Well, I'd better be careful here... TFTH

thanks..

Ok I am on a Fernandogirls kind of theme for today. You have a great sense of humor. Your container was fantastic and very appropriate. Thanks Fernandogirls.

The kids loved this one. Left suspended for kids. Tftc.

Another quirky and clever container. Thanks Fernandogirls

We loved the different containers and the varied hides, we loved this one in particular. Thanks Fernandogirls for your series of caches.

I parked close to this one, and then walked over. I spotted the very cool picnic benches as I got closer, but the cache took me a while longer to find as it was well hidden. A very cool spot to find! 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.

I made another quick find here once of an interesting container where Chwiliwr had already looked but not good enough.

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. I somehow lost touch of the track and had to bushbash most of my way to the cache. Once I arrived, it was a tricky and drawn out search, but I did find it after about 20 minutes. I think this one will be the last for the day. 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.

The better half made another quick find here once of an interesting container where I had already looked but not good enough.

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...
Again it was Jase to make the find here after taking a short walk to GZ

TFTC Fernandogirls [^]

Bindi said Its a Very nice place for a Picnic

Another rippa container here [^]. A nice easy find and now to make my way back to the car

I'm Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at WA GOES BIG IN 2015, in Busselton.

Fernandogirls - jinta29 found your cache A BUSH PICNIC on 31/12/2014 10:14 am. This is my find #2598 and find #19 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Decided to pop out and pick up a couple of caches before the weather starts getting really hot. This was a nice quick find after a short walk through a lovely section of bush. It was nice to see the bush here free from rubbish! TFTC!

It was a very pleasant trek through the forest to do this series of caches on a lovely spring day. Most were easily spotted, this one was quite exposed so saw it from a distance.
Thanks for the caches and the exercise Fernandogirls.

School holidays rapidly coming to a close. Great weather encouraged me to head to the hills; somewhere I don't often visit since I'm not a huge fan of the bush. I made hard work of this one and, once I found the cache, I was embarrassed that it'd taken so long to find. Maybe if I had a pooch to sniff out the cache I would've had more luck. Thanks Fernandogirls.

This was the first find of the day for us, it took us a little while to find it though. there were so many lovely wild flowers out it was a lovely day for walking through the bush. Thanks Fernandogirls for bringing us out here. I just realised we put the wrong date on all our finds today a day ahead of ourselves.

In the area this afternoon I had a spare 20 minutes or so to try and track down a couple of the local caches.

This one was a quick find once at GZ, had a little giggle when I extracted the cache. Definitely the first type of this container that I have found. Made me even hungrier than I was already.

Giving it a favourite.

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. TFTC.

This was an very cool cache didn't take too long to find. This was the first time I had been caching in along time so it was nice to get a few finds! TFTC

We're still on the hills late this afternoon wrapping up a few newish caches. It's approaching dinner time and we're getting hungry so this one was a welcome find.
TFTC Fernandogirls.

I decided to come back up this way again this morning to pick a few more caches up and a couple of puzzles caches the geohubby had solved a while ago.. This was my last cache for the morning and after a short walk to GZ the cache was soon found. I had a bit of a laugh when i spotted the container as i was just thinking at the time that i was getting hungry.....TFTC Fernandogirls

'''FTF''' at 3.30pm on a raining afternoon. I was on the other side in Trigg beach when this cache was published. I drove across with rain coming down and in two minds in doing it. As I got closer to GZ. the rain eased off and I got a window to make a dash and run...nice quick find...TFTC
