Time to put this one away- it's been muggled a couple of times and I'm not keen on replacing it with a micro
 
14-Apr-17
Looks like this one has gone missing again- the shrubbery used to hide it tends to disappear after a while. Will take some time to consider an alternative.

Tried a lot of different spots but no luck today
 
10-Apr-17
I just couldn't find
 
27-Mar-17
No luck with the cache but instead I found 10 cents in the grass. How said Geocaching doesn't pay off?!

20-Jan-17
Found it while heading to Busselton for the weekend.
Short detour to visit a couple of caches in Bunbury.
This could have been a tricky one, fortunately the object was upside down so we spotted it easily. TFTH

Wow itdepends did this one bring back some memories for me from the early-mid 60's. I used to ride my bike out to the end of the original jetty with my neighbour to do a touch of fishing. We were ten and eleven , how times have changed! There was a muggle parked just in front of GZ so we went off for a walk until he moved on. A great little cache, well done. The previous finder had left it in a fairly easy-to-see location so we just left it as found. All in good nick. Thanks for setting this one up. Worth the trip down to my old home town, a funeral of an old family friend and a bit of geocaching to boot; bitter sweet.

04-Jul-16
After a couple of frustrating visits, I eventually found it. Very clever.
 
02-Jul-16
I left kids over fishing near the pylons and went for a wander up to the end of the jetty. Spotted what I thought was going to be the hide but I was wrong. Widened out of little bit and soon found a prize. Nice camo work here
itdepends - Kyzabra found your cache Bunbury Timber Jetty . The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Still catching up on some caching we did on our most recent trip to WA from Perth south to Augusta and a few places in between.

We had the pleasure of living in Busselton in 2015 for six months then spent a further six months living in Mandurah before moving back to nsw. We have been back twice in the past 18 months as it always invites us back especially to the warm days and beautiful scenery and beaches.

It's a real shame that we only discovered geocaching just when we were moving back to nsw so we have a lot of catching up to do in our favourite places in WA each time we return.

TFTC TNLN. Until next time WA it's been an absolute pleasure.

Great spot
 
03-May-16
Visiting our son in Bunbury from Vic for a few weeks and decided to do a few caches today. Nice sunny day and great view from GZ. Tricky little cache was found - it was certainly well planned and extremely well implementated. Took a photo of a junvenile pacific gull standing on a rock below GZ. Just as we took the photo a muggle appeared and started to give us hints on what is the best way to take photos with a galaxy phone as he took photos of birds, too. It turned out that he also did caching, so we had a good chat about caching - he also using drones for bird photography and our grandson works for a company who makes drones - so it proved to be a very interesting encounter!
TFTC itdepends - for the notes and bringing us to this nice area - much appreciated.

GPS on the Android playing up again!! Had me 35m from GZ. Eventually the iPhone pushed us in the right direction and the Android decided to fall into line with it. From then, an easy find. Nicely done. Cache is in good condition. Thanks for this one.

Nice im on a roll now. Been here fishing a bit myself
 
25-Nov-15
Left the Mantra Hotel early in the morning because of my jet lag and the nice weather. This was a nice walk to the cache but I get attacked by some seagulls which wanted to protect thier eggs or chicks against me. Needed a while to find the box... don't know why. I placed a quite similar one in Germany at my home village which I recently had to archive as it was broken. Finally I found.
Really a nice handicrafted and well maintained cache!
Thank you for showing and for the cache!

Cache relocated due to fence around crane. The gate isn't currently locked but I thought it best to move the cache while I still could.

Still in same container and still magnetic Smile

Very nice camo, thanks itdepends
 
27-Aug-15
Just as well we jagged this one super quickly. What luck, a quick find after dark with no one around. Thought we were going to be here for ages, which didn't thrill me as I'm not feeling flash today. Nothing to do with the wedding anniversary....
 
23-Aug-15
Nice camouflage! Smile
 
23-Aug-15
Didn't spend too long at this one after some luck. TFTC

Awesome location for a cache. Thankfully the location was deserted and I logged a quick find. I enjoyed the beginning of a glorious sunset before heading off to another cache. Thanks itdepends.
 
13-Aug-15
Out and about with pprass for a couple of hours. It had us going for a while so resorted to clue. Groping around, out and up getting a little frustrated. Then I had a thought and it worked out. For you followers, ignore the clue. This is a cheeky hide. Thanks for the cache
 
13-Aug-15
Found at 8:21 AM GAFF5 in the company of xambo4u.
Gosh - It was looking like we were going to have a DNF on our very first cache for the day Sad That's a bad omen for the day's caching so we persevered until Robyn turned over an item that we had been ignoring ever since we arrived given the misleading hint [:(!]
No chance of climbing this crane now with all of that barbed wire in there.
Thanks itdepends.

Butter beef nice sneaky find
 
12-Jul-15
On a beautiful winters day, we had friends invite us out on their boat for a bit of dolphin spotting Razz. I had noticed this cache out here before, but, have always put it off for "Another Day". Today ended up being THE day as we were penned very close by Cool. After our awesome day out, I nabbed the geo kids and set off for the short walk. Thankfully, we seemed to have hit a muggle free period Smile and geo son made a quick find Big Grin. Very good camo [^] .

Thanks for the cache itdepends. Everything was in great order at the site Wink

As with others we circled many a time, about to move on and thought to think a little differently. it worked. TFTC
 
03-Jun-15
Tricky but at least we found it
 
30-May-15

22-May-15
Second time around searching for this one. This time around I did not come alone and was with marshy003. This was truly well hidden and camoflaged I could not believe I had been so close to it several times last time and not realise it was even there.
 
10-May-15
Yay we found it great find for little ones!!
 
04-May-15
This one must be well hidden. I looked high and low for it.

Love the old crane. Took a bit to find after initially dismissing the spot, like some others. TFTC!
 
01-Mar-15
In Bunbury for a Dragonboating event and decided to do some geocaching while here. Awesome hide - took us ages to find. Trust your instincts was a great clue. Tftc Smile
 
01-Mar-15
TFTC! Found with JacobsCrew whilst out on a caching day trip to Bunbury to pickup some solved puzzles, whilst also trying the local traditional, multi and letterbox cache items.

Was a great day with great company and we ended up with around 65 finds for the day, not bad considering I had to work this morning which held us up four hours! Thanks
 
01-Mar-15
Spent the day with Branzy12 picking up 65 caches for the day, mostly in Bunbury, It was a great day with beautiful weather. had us puzzled for a moment when I struck gold and found the cache. TFTC
 
18-Feb-15
12:39:00 PM. Having a drive around Bunbury to grab some caches. Didn't like our chances here but the better half came up with the find from something I had dismissed. Signed log and returned. Thanks itdepends for placing this cache.
 
14-Jan-15
Looked high and low and could find it Sad only spending 1 day here in Bunbury so couldn't spend too much time on it. Next time!!
 
27-Dec-14
Took a while, lol.
Got sidetracked by the hint but eventually decided to check that spot out and came up with a find.
Third time lucky today after 2 DNFs.
TFTC.
