Found tftc

Having missed this one back in 2021 when I thought I completed the series, I made the trek through the bush to find the missed cache that's taunted me for years. I approached from the nearby cache Q and followed kangaroo tracks under and over shrubbery. I made the find and left through the north where the trees made a much easier job to find my way out. Approaching from Nicholson Rd wouldn't have been the fun way! TFTC and series, please take a favourite!

With the event in Treebry later on, I decided to make the most of the trip SOR, and spend the afternoon collecting some more of the Granett caches in the bushland here. 38 degrees, 4 hours, and 12km on foot later, I have just shy of 30 new smileys on my map. Some of the logs signed as JK. I quite liked the Big Bang Theory caches as I am a great fan of the show. Thanks for the hides.

A bit of bush walking to GZ. Cache found safe and sound. TFTC

Tftc found on a hump day caching adventure!

Nice walk through the bush. Cache safe and sound and dry. TFTC

Chasing a few urban caches on a cloudy and showery day.

I come into the Federation only to find Seven to complete my Alphanumeric challenge.

Aah, the serenity of a busy road.

Granett, I found Guinan today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

The bend in the fence is a bit of a giveaway

Out and about on a Sunday caching run, enjoying the sunny, cool weather.

Cheers Granett!

All good here and finally this series is complete for me..dont know how I missed it the first time..cache and log in excellent condition tftc and the series

Yay. Relieved that was easier terrain than the last few. I left them until the end for a reason! Tftc

A beautiful day for a stroll or in this case a battle through the undergrowth. I’m starting to get tired and this section of the series is starting to test me. All good with the cache. Thanks Granett for the series.

TFTC

Out and about with Scjaz and geokids doing this series as the weather is beautiful. Thanks for the cache

Such a beautiful Spring day today we decided to visit this spot to find some caches. Had to walk through some fairly dense bush to find this one. tnln tftc

Bush bashing through the wet under growth meant I was getting damper by the metre. Quick find TFTC.

Well we decided to tackle some caches in an unknown territory today and all were found in great condition with spot on coordinates.... only might have to discuss the D rating on a few with my friend Granett, lol.

Great series and highly recommend, TFTC Granett, TNSL and left some swag.

Out and about with Team Barritts, great series, tftc

We were out today to avenge our DNF last time at this cache. This time it was an easy find although the way we got here was a lot longer than just popping in from the road.
After finding the cache we went back onto the road and walked about 500m back to where we had parked the car for today's little bush walk.
Thanks for replacing the cache. sorry we didn't have a container for the damaged cache we encountered but we have tidied up the rest of the ones we came across so you wont have to go out just to replace log books. We appreciate the effort you have done placing all these caches.

Found. Quite a bush bash to get there.
Thanks for replacing

Container has been replaced with a small pre-form tube.

Unlucky at this one. We checked out the possible options from two trees but nothing seen.
We will keep an eye on it.
We keep meaning to get out and do this series before the summer kicks in.

Family walk, thanks for the hide

I've had my eye on this series for quite some time, and some annual leave over Easter provided the perfect opportunity to get over here and visit the 'Federation' Yesterday I came over to pick up the Big Bang series so while here I took a quick look around in this part of the park to get an idea what to expect. Today I am back and fully prepared! The weather was slightly cooler but dry and perfect for a decent hike around through the bush. In the end it took me around 5 hours to complete the whole series, with those in the southern part of the park requiring the most bush-bashing to reach. It was a lovely few hours walking with the geohound. Very peaceful too with roos being the only muggles to contend with All containers were found, all with very good coords, and with only a small number of caches requiring maintenance (noted on the individual logs). Thanks for placing this great series, and TFTC

Guinan was found 8:20 am. Co-ords were good .
TFTC Granett

Had a few hours to myself this hot summers afternoon so I thought I'd tackle this series. Great series in a nice wilderness, couldn't quite complete it all so will have to come back to complete another time.

Thank you for this great series Granett and for bringing me out here, a little scratched up by the end but thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Cache is safe, log signed! Live long and prosper fellow geocachers!

Nice easy find, tftc.

Came back for a second run on these caches, as I didn't get to finish them the first time. Tftc. Thanks for taking the time to place these caches for us to find.

All caches found are in good condition; a couple may soon require new log sheet &/or bag.
Find #5 of 22 for the day. Thank you Granett

Steve had a bit of a cry about all the skin he was loosing walking through here, but of a sook if you ask me, TFTH

Came back today to finish off the rest of this series I managed to find all of them so thsnkyou Garnett fir maintaining the series

All good here after a bit of heavy bush bashing from the previous find. thanks for the series Granett.

Found safe and well. TFTC

We are kid free for the day so hubby and I decided to smash out this series.

Another smiley. Hid this one better than we found it. Tftc

Quick find here TFTC

See Picard for more information.

By now the day had turned very warm so we were glad of a quick find here. We were then able to sit on the nearby log to eat our lunch with nature all around us. TFTC

Quick find TFTH

A nice quick find on the way home from work to help keep my daily streak going. Nice park and grab don't know why it's taken me so long to grab this one but it's one of the few on my route or close enough to my route home from work

Nice quick find. TFTC.

Cold wet morning chances of seeing a snake nil TFTH SL.

Found the cache today in great condition, fairly obvious when close to GZ. Now to see how many more we can get on the way back to the car!

Wow, very overgrown. Hope the cars don't think we have escaped . Tftc.

Having fun trecking through the bush!

Went out this morning with geobrother and family and geosister to finally start getting some smileys for this series. It's been on our radar for a while now, and it was great to get started, especially in this cooler weather when the sand is a bit harder and the snakes aren't much of a threat. Found 16 out of 16 this morning and my parting words to muskcat83 when we finished, was "same time next week to finish it off?"
Thanks for the hide!

Was a fun bush bash adventure to find.

Greetings from Northern Ireland TFTC

Found it. TFTC Granett. Still had a current visa so I ventured south and crossed the boarder into the unknown. This is a really great Nature park for a bush walk. I saw lots of signs of the local inhabitants and thats all. I am sure I was seen by them. Thanks for bringing me here.

Thanks for the hide. Taking the opportunity to find a few caches in the area while my hubby attends a course nearby.

I bushes bashed to this one and am jealous of anyone who parked on the side of the road to get it. That is probably a better idea. TFTC

With my mission of achieving the stat of finding exactly 2 caches per day for the year well within sight I just needed a good boost this month with a couple of hard days caching. This series was perfect. Enjoyed the different scenery of being in the city but still in the bush somewhat.

All caches were in good nick, hidden well and replaced by me as found. Thanks for all your caches Grannet

Hadnt been out geocaching in a long time, so headed out with sr_sparky for a few hours. I had been watching this series for a whilst, and today was the day to start it, and get our geo numbers up.
With no clear order in which to do these, we made one up along the way.

All caches were in good condition, some hidden more obvious than others but all with accurate coordinates. Series not complete as the pub called our name, but will be back, next time with long pants to avoid all the scratches from the bush bashing. Oh and watch out for snakes. TFTC Granett

Sqwash's calendar lined up with mine and we decide to head out caching for numbers. Managed to get most of this series completed in 3 hours, only with the associated cuts, a tick and a snake.

Quick find with Eco&Rev. TNLN, TFTC

TFTC. Back in the home state after 18 months with geonephew SGT Ant.

Spotted this one on approach, have hidden it a little better. TFTC

Father's Day caching, happy days.

We were here last weekend after watching the grandkids play footy but didn't complete the series as we started quite late in the afternoon. So here we are again to complete the series if possible. This was our second find here today so on we go.

A very late log, found with parkacruz and piknik15 but we never logged online which we are now rectifying TFTC

Logged under Mummy & Daddy's name smileyjims but I have my own online name now, I found this cache with them and wrote in the log book with them TFTC

Out with smileyjims continuing on our sunny winter days finds, a great spot TFTC

Gps was bouncing all over for this one but I got it in the end

Find #12 of 24 in Jandakot regional park.

We started this series June of last year and decided to come back today to finish it off. Great morning for a walk and we found the remaining 16 caches thanks to great co ords. TFTC Granett this is find number 1134 for us.

Awesome thanks

I have been wanting to finish this Star Trek Series for some time now. I had previously found 7 hides. With the Geowife at work for a few hours, today was my opportunity. Didn't manage to finish them all, but found 16 more with one DNF.

It was a great day - beautiful weather, lots of bird life, even surprised a mob of kangaroos. Each cache that I found was an easy find. I wish i could have stuck to the tracks a bit more - I seemed to be bush bashing a fair bit. I fell over a couple of times, I lost a power tank pen - All in all a fun morning.

Replaced log here


TFTC Granett

Family find day

At the beginning it was an easy walk, but over the time some of the caches proves to be much more challenging. I really enjoyed bushwalking !

Thank you! As it was a long weekend, I thought I would head down and check out this series. It was quite an adventure, and I managed to find all but one.
This was the fourth find for the day.

Esy find

Found the cache and had a snack break here. I’ve found a convenient entrance to the cache nearby. TFTC Granett.

I had some time to kill today, so I decided to find a few more of these caches. It amazes me how you managed to fit so many into such a small patch of bushland. The rain kept coming and going. Most caches were found quickly, with the odd one or two being difficult. I saw a few kangaroos too. A variety of different terrain was trekked, from sand to dense shrub.
Granett, I found your cache ‘Guinan’ today. It was the eleventh find of fifteen finds (all of this series) with zero DNF’s and brings my total count to 480. The cache was found in a good condition so I signed the log book and replaced it as I found it. Thanks for the hide.
Thanks for your efforts in hiding this series.
Collected 3 TB's from different caches to move.

With school holidays quickly coming to an end I thought I'd take another shot at finishing this series.

Quick find here.



TFTC Granett.

Granett, I found your cache Guinan on 19/04/2016 at 11:32 AM.
This is my find #351 and find #7 today.

We have lost the track oh dear , now onto the next tftc

Tftc Ganett

Its been a relatively quiet caching year for me this year then I noticed the other day that I wasn't too far off a significant milestone so decided to see if I could make it before the year was out. In order to do so I needed to pick up about 20 caches. The series in this area fitted my purpose perfectly despite a number being out of action at the moment so I headed down this morning to have a crack at them and to drop off a few GCA moveables. Most were easy finds with only 1 DNF. Some logs were full or nearly so but I can't recall which ones. TFTC and the series.

Tftc Cheers

After a bike race this morning I had the afternoon free for caching, and I've wanted to do this series for quite a long time, so I headed out, not having read the logs about the prescribed burn. It was quite a warm afternoon, but I made my way to every single cache in the area. In the end I found 26, and did not find 10 . I found the first one 1:27pm, and DNF'd the last one at 5:54pm, and ended up walking around 8.5kms. I'm not sure if I took the most optimal route, but in the beginning I let the GPS guide me with 'find next closest', but I made sure I didn't leave any behind in odd places.

I parked on Clifton Road, near Bashir, and started off on the east side, heading south, all the way into the corner, and then worked my way back up the west side, and eventually into the north corner, which seems to be the most affected by the fires. In the south east area I found some of the bush bashing horrendous, but it was much easier going once I got into the southern most corner and back up to the western and northern sides.

I was amazed at the diversity of the flora in the area, there were just patches of different types of trees and bushes, and you would move from one patch to another. I also had a few close encounters with the fauna, a few ticks tried to eat me, and I had to evict a huntsman at one cache, and I also saw several kangaroos, and rabbits, and one animal that looked like a rat but moved liked a rabbit...

Most caches were easy finds, but in a few spots the GPS was jumping around severely.

Thanks for the great series Granett, I enjoyed the walk, and hope to come back soon for the ones I couldn't find due to the fires.

On holidays from SA staying with Yangebup Mick noted the warning about Burn off decided to have a look ! Found the nine caches on the bottom of the triangle in good condition. thanks Granett TNLN

It seems a prescribed burn has occurred in this area. I hope to get out and check the series in the next couple of weeks, until then cache at your own peril.

Another one done. Yay! I found this as part of a daily streak I am working on - almost 3 months now. The first month wasn't so bad, the 2nd month got harder, and now it's getting more challenging to make sure I don't miss a day especially because I'm travelling for work.

I love the challenge of the geocache cache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. My new GPS is working great and it has made my geocaching experience so much simplier and more fun.

Thanks go to Granett for placing this cache and maintaining it. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and much appreciated. I enjoyed finding this one on a small detour on my way to the airport. This cache was another "Found it" for me. TFTC! Cheers. [Blue]Jump Pilot[/Blue]

Yae found it , bit of a trek this one

Originally logged under clan-wallace, now relogging finds under new name.

Could not leave the series unfinished so came back today. TFT6

with a break finally in the weather and it being school holidays....the geokids and I decided to add some much needed 's......TFTC... a quick grab and sign here!!

I Spent 3 hours this morning walking around this bushland collecting smilies. 36 finds and 0 dnf's. I'm not sure which way would have been best to collect these but certainly not the way I went. There was some serious bush bashing at the southern end.
Great series. Thanks Granett.

Great series. Really enjoying it. TFTC Granett.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

Found ok after a brief hunt. Nice day for a walk.

Picking up the TB to take to Busselton.

In Perth for a week for work and had today off. Weather forcaste is miserable, but I was determined to get some caching in. Have set out to try and complete the star trek series. Rain is getting really heavy, so I am going to have to abandon my run and return to the car. A quick find, dropped TB. Thanks Granett.

Quick find. Tftc

#5 for the day - and another easy find. This has to be the best run of caches I have ever had without a DNF (a total of 30 finds for the day with no DNF's ). Great bushland to walk through but so far I haven't seen any wildlife. SL. Thanks to Granett for the cache.

Out on an early morning expedition, been a while since I walked round this regional park, lots more caches here now !!!

Quick find here. TFTC

Great day walking through this park with the geokids. Really appreciate the effort that went into setting up this series. TFTC.
