Logs
I can see where it could be but needs to be off the ground if it is to survive.
No chance to find it. Too many muggles, a lot of waste everywhere, no sign of a fruit box or a tin.
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?
On our Australian trip . After started for some days in Darwin we are on the road to Perth now .On the Road after Katherine, Edith Falls, Kunnurra, Bungles Bungle, Emma Falls, El Questro, Mitchel Falls, Manning Gorge, Galvans Gorge, Bell Gorge, Tunnel Creek and Windjana Gorge .Now again on the sealed road again. From Derby, Broome on direction to Port Hedland .Really breathtaking beach . Had some problems, because the GZ is not very accurate, but fortunately only possible to take from the car park .TFTC# 17'172
On our travels we found ourselves staying in paradise at 80 mile beach and was delighted to find a cache hidden here, it was a late afternoon stroll that took us to the GZ where geo hubby took the honours, thanks for placing this fun cache
Wow! Looked around for this one. Slightly to the right of end of the fence! TFTC!
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.
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.
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!
We staying here for a couple of days so the cache is a bonus. This a wonderful place, not busy at this time of year. Lots of great bird life and wallabies in abundance. We left a souvenir tea spoon from Kln Germany and asticker. I took the TB. STL TVMFTC FP too
Tftc! we needed to convince the container to open. WD 40 did the trick - and hopefully helps those coming after us.Cache insides are in great condition. What a top spot!
found it you just got to look very hard didn’t take anything but wrote my name in log book

Couldn’t find it wasn’t sure which side of the fence to be on. Looked at hint but still struggled. Felt awkward with people in carpark watching
5 night stay at the caravan park enjoying one of Australia's most iconic beaches, fishing, collecting shells, long walks, spectacular sunsets, does it get any better, well, yes it does, there's a geocache here too, which we found and signed, TFTC Chan 5456
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.
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

Sorry I don’t have a can or fruitbox.
Can I ask that the next searcher for this cache please help by replacing the cache container and log. I no longer live nearby and it has lasted a long time and is such a great location to lure Geocacher's to
Thank you in Anticipation

On my way to Perth via Broome with a few detours for LGAs. TFTC.
Tight fit on the carpark side. Added a new log sheet.

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.
Stopped here with goingplaces2 but were disappointed to find the cache container had gone. Added another in its place to keep it going. Lovely beach here and well worth a look. TFTC.
Nice easy find. Staying at Eighty Mile Beach for 5 nights, love this place TFTC
We love 80 mile, great atmosphere great fishing and we weee able to watch turtles laying their eggs!

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
What a beautiful spot .. hope to bring the family back here one day [^]

Our first find. The container was well camouflaged so we had to look very closely. Thanks you !
On an Adventure North. We have hitched the caravan are are intending to find some sunshine and warm weather.
Travelling along Hwy 94 and Hwy 1, our destination is Broome, via Karijini NP, then the trip home is along the coast sampling the towns we have yet to visit.
Of course along the way we will be getting a cache of two ......... and lots more.
Still relaxing, and still finding caches

5 nights here and it was 5 different kind of days, from sunshine to moody grey skies with rain bearing clouds.
Great to be able to drive out on the beaches, plenty of wonderful shells, awesome sunrises and sunsets.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful location.
We found your cache container tucked away nicely and with signing duties done and dusted we replaced the cache container as found.

Staying at the caravan park as part of our around Aust trip ... the arvo was very gloomy weather wise so no one around, which made for a quick find for me TFTC
Thanks to Chan 5456 for placing this cache. Found on our big lap. First in WA. Log & cache in good condition.
Continuing our travels north in better weather grabbing caches along the way. TFTC ️
Camped the night here. Not a bad spot.

Found yesterday with Bjossi on my first day of retirement. 80 Mile Beach caravan Park looking very well maintained and the beach is always a sight to behold. Cache condition was good.
Look for a wooden post & yellow lid.
TFTC. Retirement day 1 done right

In the car park 20 metres from the cache but it was on the other side of the fence. I had to walk around. Whist looking for it a worker, Pete, came along in his buggy and offered me a lift back to the car. Made my day

Directions to 80 mile were not correct (better as north of Port Hedland & south of Broome. It was really fun to try and find the geocash. Though it was hard.really cool camo idea. And really cool stuff. We left some new surprises Thanks!
Not sure the location quite matched the description, mightve been moved slightly. Anyway, found it ok, after going 'either side' a few times, TFTC!
Although we couldn’t camp here because we had the geo-schnauzers on board, decided to come for a quick peek anyway. Pulled up in the visitors car park to make a quick find and checked out the camping area. Thanks Chan 5456
Nice find from the visitors Carpark. Couldn't stay here because of the geo-hounds but what a stunning beach. TFTC.
