Nothing

Looks like this one has gone AWOL, and as I don't work in the area any more I can't check on it.
Apologies to those who searched recently and didn't find it ..
Time to go

Two of us searching for 25 mins no luck today

Gave this one a really good crack spending 25 minutes searching but come up empty handed. Even with the spoiler I had no success.

Hard to believe it’s sunny here but the wind is pumping making it so cold I have to wear jeans and a hoodie.

Good search. No luck

Bit of a climb for this old man to find his 1000th cache, but success has been had! Thank you. A favourite from way-finder.

Found it! No pen
Great track. Fun climb.
Thanks for the cache.
Peace out

Flew in today to visit my shortie27 and her family, this is our first cache for the day. Tftc

Quick find tftc.

Nice quick find tftc

Quick find at night by X. TFTH

Amazing views of the town from up here. Geo-hubby made the scramble while the pooches and I took in the views. Thanks jasenjanine

Tftc dropped into Newman for supplies

A short walk by sunset. Thanks for the Cache

Took a bit to find

Forgot my pen in the car at the top of the hill. Photo with date in the watch.

Out caching with Outnabout and Wollaston. Just created my own team name.

Found on a road trip with Team Outnabout taking in the Meeka races and places of interest along the way from Geraldton to Newman. TFTC

Approached this a tad more enthusiastically than was safe. It did remind me of our adventures on the Kokoda Track. One of our team lives locally and had found this previously. Not sure why it wasn’t logged. We still struggled with the clambering and were a little off gz. Mrs Wollaston squealed at the ‘sighting’ of a snake so we continued our looking hesitantly. Thankfully it was found and the log signed. TFTC

A bit of a walk to find good treasure!

TFTF

pug002 found it on 11/8/2018 on our trip north. Todays logs we have been putting 10th, we have lost a day somewhere Looks like another day of mountain goating. Yep Geo hubby said this old goat is finding the mountains too hard lol. Took a while as I was reading the the patch not path, once I read it correct Geo Hubby had it in hand. TFTC jasenjanine

Our first find in Australia! Tftc and greetings from Sweden!

Thanks for boyfromthebush for helping get this cache for us! TFTC SL

Nice little afternoon scramble with girlfromthebush TFTH SL cheers

Thanks for bringing us on this challenging path.a nice walk before our trip today. TFTC

Woohoo number four done and dusted!! Great series of caches and excellent views, thanks so much for bringing us here!

No2 for Keogh Family

Found

Second time at this one with a mate

Bit of a scramble around the rocks and eventually found this one

Found it

Another nice find on our evening walk to the lookout at Newman

Wow! wotta hide. I am probably a bit old for this kind of scrambling around, but I didn't want to leave Newman with a DNF (well, not too many, anyway.) I managed to make my way to the hide and grab the container at 14:20 this afternoon. My 500th find (not counting 7 GCA caches), so another milestone achieved. TNLNSL TFTC jasenjanine.

Day nine of Barnzy12 and Cravo10 adventure to the Northwest of WA, filling out boots with LGAs, rare DT, old caches, and good old fashioned red dirt!

Today we travelled from Karijini National Park to the mining town of Newman via nothing at all apart from a few caches? There wasn't a real lot to see today. We were in a fair amount of pain today after getting a tad burnt lapping up the pools of Karijini yesterday with some German backpackers we had befriended!

We side tracked to come caches along the route which had some great views but weren't feeling game for the T3 plus caches so kept it simple. We cached around town in the heat which was very rough and ventured out to the dam, which was very nice, unfortunately we didn't see any of these famous black swans. We did find some lovely views around town from the various vantage points that the caches and their owners directed us too.

Thanks to the COs for a good days caching around Newman, we skipped a few of the harder ones to get to as we have a big couple of days ahead of us. Thanks

Left a pathtag for the next cacher. Special Albany first geocache one

My 1st ever GeoCache such an amazing view of Newman & the dirt piles, forgot a pen so went all Macgyver & found a yellow chalky rock to sign my name, looking forward to more adventures

Awesome spot. Great views. Tftc

I had arrived in Newman the night before for a couple of days work...and found myself awake quite early with the sun coming up. Knowing that it would be rather hot at the end of the day, I decided to use my time usefully...by going looking for caches.

Although I was staying close to the foot of Radio Hill, I took the advice and drove to the top and walked down to the cache. While I was scrambling around on the rocks, a local was making their way to the top with their dog...chasing a rock wallaby...quite unsuccessfully. I eventually got to the cache, signed the log and left a Trackable that I had been carrying around for a while.

Thanks jasenjanine for putting this cache here.

Beautiful views. Tftc

Found it. Tftc

Great view

Great view

Hard Finding also Found Someone else finding it helping us

Nearly gave it a 'not found' until a keen group of kids arrived. Their newness to this hobby encouraged me to stay & we found it quite quickly.Thanx kids for your enthusiasm! TFTC

While it appeared easy at the start, this cache took a while to locate, but in the end it was a find (all that matters). SL. It seems that locals have been using the area here - they had left a couple of towels in the rocks here. Thanks to jasenjanine for the cache.

Got it finally

Very tricky! Beware the ants

Wow....found at night with Carawine. An experience to say the least! Views were spectacular and well worth it! TFTC

Star light star bright dont try and find at night. Rock hopping goat would have been a better idea.great fun started at day light found by torch light.nice view of the lights off mount newman.TFTC.

Cache grabbed with Mortimer 57 during our fantastic 3 weeks trip in Western Australia. Thank you to all the owners for their great job. We had a lot of fun to do Geocaching in your country !
Greetings from France!

This cache has been found with Emjuma57 during our WA roadtrip in august 2016. 5360 km from Perth to Exmouth, Karijini, and back down.
We had a lot of fun geocaching in Australia!! Thanks a lot to the owners for placing those caches even in the most remote places!!
Geocaching allowed us to discover places impossible to find with a book guide!
Greetings from France!!

Finally

Caity and Steve 2nd find yep long arms needed

Hi there jasenjanine.

We found your cache **"Radio Hill Ramble"** at 1:45:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 14287.

We are travelling from Darwin to Geraldton via the inland route - Newman, Meekatharra, Mount Magnet, etc & thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the area today. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places.

We had to pause in our search today because there were quite a few schoop age kids running around peering at their mobile phones. They weren't geocaching.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around two metres from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Can seem to get this one.

TFTC jasenjanine

Found!

Got it after 2nd day out need long arms to reach in for it

Couldn't find it

Seems to be muggled.

From the visitor's centre I rambled
A good olde, rocky scramble up a long neglected path took me up the hillside towards the antenna farm
At the top of the scramble,
I reached GZ

So where is this cache hiding ??
Muggles frequent this place a lot,
if the graffiti is anything to go by [:o]

I scrambled around,
up and down,
and by and by,
I did spy,
a rock that gave the game away

You don't need to go near the edge,
but you do need to climb

And there behind the rocks was the cache,
safe and sound [^]

TFTC and a good ramble.
Now I'm going to continue rambling to the top and beyond,
to find some more caches

Fave dance time !!

Did not find

Think its been muggled

????

We believe we found the remains of the container. Has been muggled.

I was in Newman on a short work visit and went to top of hill in order to walk down the trail to find this cache. After a bit of a scramble I did manage to locate it. Thanks for the cache.

Found while staying in Newman at my son and his family's place only 360 metres from GZ.
Thank you for the cache jasenjanine.

Sorry have to edit my log as I DNF'd the wrong cache by accident.
Last day in Newman before continuing on the big move trip from Townsville to Mandurah with the next stop with family in Carnarvon.
GeoP felt energetic to walk but couldn't locate the prize at first, so took his sister along for the second walk. This time he found the prize but while signing the log, got attacked by a very territorial wasp that stung him multiple times. All in the pursuit of a cache . Luckily he is not allergic so he "only" came home with a massively swollen ear and the determination to stop caching for a while....(more like until tomorrow until he gets itchy again lol)

I believe someone knows where this cache was hidden, so rather than archive it, i have moved it to a more discrete location not far away. You will now however, need to do a short basic rock scramble to find it though. The highest little tree now shades the cache at around midday ... check the spoiler photo if you still cant find it

I finished up a training course at a nearby facility and took the chance to grab a couple of sneaky caches before getting back to work. I parked at the tower at the top of the hill and made my way down the track. Once I got to GZ, I was less than hopeful of being able to find it. Which level was it on and how best to go about finding it. I stumbled around for a few minutes before I managed to sit down right next to it. Well covered and in good nick, I signed the logbook (piece of cardboard) and returned it to it's hidey hole. Thanks for bringing me to the top of this hill, now I understand what people mean when they talk of Radio Hill. TFTC Jasenjanine.

We drive to the top and walked down to the cache easy to find .TFTC

Out and about with Pprass on our travels in WA. Having landed in Newman we managed to get a leave pass for a couple of hours. This was our 2nd last for the day. Having just found the one at the visitors centre we discussed the best way to approach this one. Peter won with a quick drive to the top and make the downward walk. checked out around the rocks and found it completely exposed. Replaced it wherein 2 feet of where I found I it, now it is at least covered , Thanks for the cache jasenjanine

Found at 3:37 PM GAFF5 in the company of xambo4u.
Gosh - we made that a lot harder than we should have. For a Terrain of 2.5 we just didn't expect it to be so accessible.
Robyn also nearly got me by saying we had to walk up the hill and I nearly fell for it. However after looking at that goat track going straight up, I could see some sort of art work or shelters up there and thought - hey! I bet you can drive there. So we went around and there we were in a bout 2 minutes. Robyn does a lot of things the hard way
Good view from up here of the town.
Thanks jasenjanine.

Kiwis on tour. Nice spot easy find
Muggles have found it also. Put itback together and replaced it

We walked up and ran down. One of the team lost some skin when he began falling down.

Returned to sign the new log, after finding this cache destroyed some months ago. Happy to say it is still safe in its rightful position. Thank you for reinstating this cache.

Found while cycling around oz. Great view. Free clean BBQs at top.

Hmm couldn't find either coordinates are out or maybe muggled

After a big day in port Hedland, we headed up here to admire the views with my muggle colleague. But I had alterior motives. A quick check of this cache for jasenjanine and I'm happy to say still nice and safe in its hidey hole. Even found it in the dark under iPhone torchlight

Found it during my working stay in Newman. Thank for the cache.

Stopped to check on this cache today whilst on a brief trip to Newman... Unfortunately the container was missing, so it has now been replaced by a 300ml round screw top container.

Happy Hunting

Hunted high and low, think it has been muggled unfortunately

Found after initially taking the wrong path. Unfortunately this cache has either been muggled or was the victim of recent torrential rain. I was sadly unable to retrieve it, so had to bid it farewell. Thanks for your effort anyway and I hope it can be replaced.

My 3rd cache found in WA and it's a beautiful day. TFTC

And down I went till I found it . Thanks jasenjanine.

Good hide!! First time ever geocaching

I am working for a few days in a yard at the bottom of Radio Hill Drive so today I just knocked off a bit early and headed up the hill to find this cache with a view.

TFTC

Great hide beautiful view

Dropped in on this one during a Sunday ride nice view thanks for the cache

Logged during a caching trip with the girlfriend and a mate up north of WA.

TFTC

On a three week road trip north, through the Pilbra, Karijini then over to Exmouth. Caching along the way to help see some sights and have some breaks. Had great weather all trip apart from the last week once we hit the coast. Never the less, had a great trip.
TFTC

Thx Jasenjanine. 23/05. Great view with a cool breeze.

*FTF* at 3.30 pm
Up in Newman for work sand had seen these published earlier in the week.
Having dropped my work colleague off at the hotel for his run, I decided to get some excersise of my own and climb a hill or two.
Parking up at the end of the lookout, I wandered down to GZ. A couple of fitness freak passed me, too engrossed in their iPods to notice me.
As I approached GZ, I looked and thought, oh-oh, where to start. Co ords were spot on and took me straight to the hide.
Opening the log, I see it is still blank
I have been here before but thanks for brining me back Jasenjanine.
Always good to be able to mix business with pleasure..
