Out for a pie and coffee in Toodyay and some cache maintenance in Bindoon. Decided to deviate to Calingiri because “why not?”
777Tiger made the quick find here today. Interesting sight, and not the only vehicle we saw in this state today. We also saw a tractor in a similar state somewhere between Bolgart and Piawaning on our journeys. Cheers GeoJake21!

We found the cache but had to replace it as it was broken from the UV. The new one should last a few years. Coordinates and clue were both good.
This cache seemed to be long gone so I left a replacement to continue to attract people to this crazy site. Thanks.
Hi there GeoJake21. While out on the road today we hunted this cache but after a search we came up empty handed. Thanks to GeoJake21 for this cache.
Overnighting in Toodyay, my first time here Arrived earlier in the day and pitched the tent and unloaded the basics. Plan now is to pick up the caches around town, then head back to camp for a well earned vino and cook dinner Tomorrow take a long walk along the Avon River picking the various caches up along there from my campsite to the cemetery. This was one on my walk / drive this afternoon and certainly put a smile on my face. Saw the sad car as I drove around the corner...bogged is an understatement! The cache however was fine - I pulled over and headed straight down to make a nice simple find All ok here - TFTC

Log was wet but just left in sun for few minutes and dried enough to write on! Car definitely not going anywhere!!
We saw the cache as we approached. Log and container o'ring is in need of replacement. TFTC!
I'm from Nottingham UK so the name of this road is extra special. Nice quick find here. TFTC
After exploring the Westcoast of WA we finally made it to Avon Valley. We will spend here the last 3 days of our Hollyday in Australia. Today we explored the beautiful village of York and Toodyay! We have an hotel room in York so exploring the village of York is not that hard! Tomorrow we drive to the NP of Avon Valley. Next day after we take the very long flight back to Belgium! We logged a lot of caches today! Thanks to all the co's for placing their caches!
Greetings from the far Belgium!

We decided to spend the day caching in Toodyay. It is many years since we have been here.We are also LGA gathering. It is a rewarding experience. This was a bit out of the way but a nice cache. TFTC
Day 16 of our Adventure to the northern Goldfields and now in the Wheatbelt. Today we said goodbye to our neigh-bours on the farm at Wyalkatchem and are now in Toodyay.
Hoped the grasshoppers were the only fauna as I made my way to GZ for a quick find. TFTC!

Well it’s now day 16 of our LGA gathering plus just basic enjoyment trip with m4yb, Jonathan the camper trailer and Max the GeoUte.
Thankfully no Joe Blake’s today and a well spotted hide by her. Bit tricky getting the log out, but all good.
Thanks for the smiley GeoJake21

Visiting your wonderful town for the poetry comp and on a rest day grabbed a cache or two. Took longer to find the right road in than to find the cache but all good. TFTC SL Cheers for now
Was in Perth (and Rockingham for the WAGB event) for a few days. Had today to myself and decided to go for a drive to Toodyay. Loaded up the GPS with the caches along the way and set off.
Quick find after having to go backwards down the incline and slowing myself with the tree. Damn dodgy knee. Thankfully going up is easier.
Thanks for the cache

Headed up to Toodyay for the Wheatbelt science event and stopped along the way to grab some caches. All the caches were found quickly except one we couldn't find, TFTC Geojake21
A quick find and all's well with the cache.
I wonder if that's an entire car sunk into the ground or just the roof sitting on the ground?

Headed northeast today with the Jackylegs44 team to try our luck with some of the caches out this way. Didn't bode well for us when we stopped off just down the road and had to dnf the first the first one we tried for. Happy to report that we managed to find this one quickly enough before retreating back into the airconditioned car and heading off to the next one. The day just got warmer and warmer after this and we eventually conceded defeat when the temperature hit 43.5 degrees - not as many smileys as we had hoped for, but only two dnf's, so not a bad day after all. Thanks for the smiley GeoJake21
Was out on a hot day, doing some caches with Mistraluna, found all but 2. Tftc, sl, tnln.
Enjoying a holiday in Perth with tmann421 and collecting a few caches along the way.
Another great find here. TFTC

The old bogged car is a great host to some beautiful wild flowers this time of year. The log is full but we were able to sign on another piece of paper that has been placed in there TFTC
Originally found under family caching name "clan-wallace". Geohubby wants his own caching name, so I get to re log them for him!
oh, we liked this one geojake. Hope we are going to see you caching again soon. TFTC

We got to the spot but due to the really hot weather we decided against going too much closer - cautious about snakes. We will be back one day to actually find and sign the cache. Poor little car all left by itself. Thanks for bringing us out here anyway!
With a kid free weekend and after yesterday adventures today's plan was to tackle some more car orientated adventures with the julimar wander the main target
While in the area, I searched out a couple of extra hides along the way with this being one.
The old ute us definitely bogged

Is it really a bogged car or just half a car? In any case, it has been there for a very long time. Found quickly with the Fabulous Panda. TFTC
Had to drive around for a while with this one just trying to get to the area. My Nuvi thinks Nottingham road goes right through, but it doesn't, so I had to drive around to get to Retford road, then I could park about 20 metres away. The cache was quickly found and I signed the log. Without geocaching I probably would have never come here to see this old bogged car, so thanks for bringing me here and for placing this cache for us all to find and enjoy.
Out for a morning run or should I say climb up a huge hill, there seems to be a few of these around Toodyay. Didn't take too long to locate once at GZ thanks to the hint.

In Toodyay having some RnR and caching as well. Well what better way to relax than cache, as one does
Even muggle is getting into the swing of it, well if the cache is close he sits in the car and waits but at least he drives me there
A easy find thanks to the hint
Don't think that car is going anywhere soon, it looks great
TFTC Jake
** I would suggest using Retford Rd to get to the cache. We came via town side on Nottingham Rd (thanks to Nuvi) but a section has a No Entry, Emergency 4WD vehicles only, Nottingham via Retford is ok

Started to be worried as thought had to go into someone's property then walked for a bit and was able to breath a sigh of relief no need to climb the fence. TFTC
went for a bit of a random drive to Toodyay late in the afternoon. we had a 1/2 success rate today. The kids loved seeing this car and as we found it on dusk they also liked seeing the big boomers in the paddock. Tftc.
Luckily a quick find while in Toodyay for lunch just before today's rogain just outside of town. TFTC.
Spending a few days in Toodyay, exploring the area this was our first cache of the day after first running some errands in town We were a bit hesitant to head up the hill as there were signs saying emergency access only, but of course there was a cache to be found & we continued on Once close to GZ, the kids were very excited by the old car as were us adults who breathed a sign of relief to not have to search there!
Cache was found quickly as I spotted it shining from the car so Jase hopped out to add our names to the log... TFTC GeoJake21 We then continued along the road & made our way back into town along the correct road... Cheers!
