I can see where it could be but needs to be off the ground if it is to survive.

Nope. Nothing found.

DNF
 
14-Sep-24
No chance to find it. Too many muggles, a lot of waste everywhere, no sign of a fruit box or a tin.
 
14-Sep-24
No sign of the tin anywhere, didnt want to have to reach too far into caravan side but also from reading previous logs it shouldnt be there anyway - maybe missing?

23-Jun-24
Found 15:58Three months of travelling in Western Australia with Muggle friends from the East coast; stopover in Singapore on the outward and return flights. Caches and labs where they are on the way and can be done without too much effort. You may forgive me for using the same standard phrase everywhere, but there's not much more to it than that. Many thanks to all the owners for making our hobby possible. If there is anything wrong with the cache, more detailed information follows.

31-May-24
Found on a trip to Western Australia from Adelaide with FeatherWaite. We camped at Shay Gap then continued to make our way north, finding a few caches of interest along the way. This one provided an opportunity to tick off a new LGA and to view the coastline here.The cache was quickly found and was in good order. Afterwards we made good use of the nearby free wash-down facility to clean some of the mud and dust from the last week or so off the car.Thanks Saltie for the cache.
 
31-May-24
Found with e.gregory1 on a trip from Adelaide to north-western WA via Kalgoorlie, Wiluna an Marble Bar. After camping out at Shay Gap we made our way northwards for our first look at the Indian Ocean since leaving home on this particular trip. Thanks for the cache Chan 5456!

23-Mar-23
Heading to Broome with axell33 and we have wandered all over caching as we go which brought us here to this cache. We read a few logs and we looked for the cache in a locust swarm, which was different for us! They were huge too! We found the said log in zip bag on the ground and gave it a new, strong home to live in. We had a bit of a look about before heading off on our way again. This is such a beautiful place. Thanks for placing a cache here.
 
23-Mar-23
Caching our way from Lancelin to Broome after a few nights in Nullagine we hit the road for the final leg and couldn’t go pass this one with going and having a search. We hit a locust swarm on the way in and while we were searching for the cache. We searched for about 5 minutes before before spotting the prize. We signed your log and Leega grabbed a new container to house it in. We returned your cache back to where it resides. It’s always good to do a welfare check on one that hasn’t been found for and happy to say with the new container this one is good as new, Leega left some new swag in there for any of the kids travelling through. Now to get out of the locust swarm and back in the car lol. TFTC Chan5456 & Saltie

03-Jun-22
We took a detour off the highway with ilook4geo to have a look at 80 Mile Beach and to find this cache. We unfortunately could not locate the container after an extensive search, but to keep the cache alive and to bring more geocachers to see this beautiful area, it was decided to place another container, with a new log sheet, at the co-ords and in line with the hint. Hope this is all OK with the CO. Thanks go to Chan 5456 for bringing us here on a beautiful day.

Nice quick find on our way to Port Hedland. Left a TBTFTC Chan 5456
 
13-Sep-21
Had an RDO today, so decided to hire a car and venture north from Hedland to see what I could find.
On the homeward bound now, and i ummed and ahhhed about whether to detour to this one. However, the lure of the famous 80 mile beach (and of course the cache) soon had me turning down the gravel road towards GZ.
It wasn’t long before i was passing the caravan park and approaching the empty carpark. I hopped out of the car and spotted the camoed container straight away in the bushes, added my name and rehid as found.
I walked over the dune for a look to see about 50 people scattered along this amazing beach fishing , swimming or just lying in the sun Big Grin
What a beautiful spot .. hope to bring the family back here one day [^]
