Sandalwood dray Beacon, Western Australia, Australia
By Allbehind on 27-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5DP67

Relatively quick find.Lig is full but signed in no. 20 as JJTNLNSL TFTC JEFFJULIE

Tricky little hide but GrobbyGypsy had her hands on the prize quickly after we ditched the GPS, which was taking us elsewhere, and started searching in geo mode! Unfortunately we couldn't sign the log because we couldn't unscrew the cache, which seems to be unbelievably overtightened or something, so we are including a photo for reference!

Relatively easy find once the GPS settled. TFTC Allbehind

TFTC had a good chat with one of the local wildflower tour guides who was doing some work in the Mens Shed and got some good tips on where to go.

Yes, we Found this little one TFTCLieb ' s Gruessli #12513

Found it, thanks... Nice hide

Camped at Mollerin Rock for the long weekend, we headed out for a "drive around the block" & found this cache on our tour... We thought this would be a quick find but searched for a while whilst the kids checked out the old machinery Eventually the kids came to see why it was taking us so long... Clever DangerMouse09 soon had it sussed & we were again on our way!TFTC Allbehind

TFTC

I had a good look around but I couldn't see it

Touring the area picking up LGAs, Rey glad this one revealed itself after a short search. Neat hide in its simplicity tftc

Found it.On our way home from a weekend away.Tftc

Got the whole gang in on that one! A beacon local stood by watching as he knew the location and tried not to laugh as we all looked in the wrong spots

This is my 5016 find.Thank you Allbehind for placing and maintaining this cache.SirFancy West Oz Geocaching committee member.www.west-oz-geocaching.com/

Wasnt the park and grab Id expected when driving into town but were still back on our way within 5 minutes. Saturday out at Koorda for GIFF and spent the day exploring around the region.Started up by joining SirFancy, Cravo10 & Lachlan1.77 heading to Minnievale to chase a FTF and grabbed some other caches on the way back to town for lunch.After lunch the family piled into the car and we did a loop through Mukinbudin, Beacon & Mollerin.The afternoon was filled with time at the pool with some of the other teams in town before attending the GIFF event in Koorda.A great day out with mixed experiences had me adding 13 finds, 5 adventure labs, 1 event attended and 1 DNF to my totals. Thanks Allbehind for placing Sandalwood dray for me and others to find.I added my name to the log at 14:00 on 11/11/2023.This is find number 7821 for me.

Took a while, but got it eventually. TFTC.

Found a few weeks ago whilst watching football and hockey games while visiting my family. Thanks

Cache found - nice hide. Paper to sign seemed to be missing.

️

Refuse to climb that high to get these micros, we are 67 and 65 and our climbing days of historic structures are over …. Ridiculous

Found tftc, slightly higher than anticipated

Nice easy find but did not bring pen TFTH

Couldn't find it, may just be blind tho

Sneaky little cache. Needed to use a TOTT to spot. TFTC

Found it on the second attempt. First try was at night on the way to the club, but the spiders were about. Came back in daylight and got it. TFTCache , and the challenge.

It was mid afternoon, and we planned to travel further before setting up camp for the night. I had a look for this cache and could not find it. A quick decision was made, we would stay here for the night, so that I could return for a better search. I did return and the cache was found. It was quite hard to spot, but once you see it .....

TFTC

Pouring rain but luckily there was a roof. After some time touching places filled with spider webs, I decided to change my view. Immediately spotted the hide. TFTC

Great hide

Got worried when I saw mirco, machinery and no hint. A little bit of feeling around and it was soon in hand. TFTC

??

Thankyou

Thank you

Quick find as we stop in town for some fuel. Camping a few days at the rock TFTC

On a road trip around the wheatbelt areas of Western Australia for a few weeks. We are enjoying the many friendly towns along the way, whether staying in the CP’s or camping out. So far, we have found every cache that we have looked for, and hopefully our streak will last as we move around to the next town and beyond. Thank you so much to the CO’s of every cache for placing them for our enjoyment. They certainly bring you to many spots that you might not stop at otherwise.
Spotted the little critter, and popped it back where it belongs. While here, go and say hello to Bruce at the mens shed. He is a wealth of knowledge, and loves showing visitors all the old machinery.

Hard find too 1h it's black and small

Thinking nasty thoughts about lack of a hint and spiders and travelling out here specially. Then I spied it. All good now.

Cannot find

Wandering this area, signed the log as EV and thanks for the cache and hunt

Out in the Wheatbelt again for the second consecutive weekend. This weekend the plan was to attack a number of towns in the North Eastern Wheatbelt and attend the FOTT event in Minnivale. It was a terrific weekend. Thank you to all the COs involved in providing entertainment this weekend.

Quick find of this cache as I was with a previous finder. But then the return of the cache was far more difficult, as I dropped it and it rolled into the fenced off area. Thankfully Geotrakka had grabber hands and I was able to grab the cache with those and my long arms. What a cool town, certainly deserving of a few more caches. Cheers Allbehind!

Found at last with help from the guys. Typical, outside a men’s shed and my husband finds it. Tricky little blighter. Take care

Just hat to look at a different angle

Tricky one, think the opposite.

Interesting spot

Not today Never mind

Love seeing pieces of history from the area and an great tractor shed nearby. TFTC

stood at different angle

Great cart tftc

On the second day of a weeks holiday just driving around stopping where we feel like it. Spent last night at the Koorda caravan park now heading east then north and then to wherever.

Mr dimor used a TOTT to help us find this one and I did the grab, once signing duties were down we went and had a look at the tractors at the Men's Shed and were lucky enough to get a guided tour. Well worth the visit and to give a donation.
All the tractors in the shed actually work including the 1924 Chamberlain which is the first one to display the Chamberlain badge.
The local Co-op has a good choice and friendly service.

Did think to stay in town but it was still early so off we go east

TFTC

Tftc tricky little bugger but got it hello beacon

I was worried this would take a while longer but I had my lucky eyes on today yayy! Out in the wheatbelt enjoying the wildflowers - thanks for the smiley TFTC

TFTC. Tricky little find

Found during a methodical search.
TFTC Allbehind this is find #10195 for us.

Nice display of the sandalwood dray. Tftc

Not found stts

Damage to magnet but fixed now

No luck for us after a considerable search. Difficulty 1 knocked us out. Them' the breaks

A quick find on our way home from a long weekend at Eagle Rock! TFTC

Trickier to extract than to locate. Thanks Allbehind

Unfortunately a DNF, deviated our of our way to get this one so it bothers me! Any hint appreciated!

We came back and had another think! Then boom my wife found it

Found it after some search.
TFTC

Loved reading the information boards. TFTC Allbehind & thanks for replacing it ILT

A nice easy find here.

After camping at the very peaceful Mukinbudin Caravan Park last night we headed off on day 2 of our Wheatbelt Tour.

This weekend has been some time in the planning and we were heading up this way to drive the Wheatbelt Way Trail and collect geocaches along the route. We also had GCA caches, Waymarks and Sighters on the radar which should break up the trip nicely. We had no set plans for accommodation and we decided that we would see where we ended up each day to set up camp. This cache was one that we targeted on our mini adventure. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Allbehind, I was in this area today and found your cache Sandalwood dray GC5DP67. I added my name to the log book at 12:25 pm on 29 September 2019. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

This cache find brings our total find count to 10996. Woohoo!!

This is a great location for a cache and it would be a pity for it to be lost for ever so we replaced the nano and put it were we thought it should be. Thanks for the cache Allbehind.

We looked and looked but the last log suggested it was on the ground, so out with the mirror and stretch arm as far we could. Lots of spiderwebs but no smilie for us today.

Touring from Tasmania and stopped here for a break. Hunted and found your cache. Magnet is gone and it’s on the ground. Tftc

Great little spot. Magnet has gone. Cache fell onto floor

Lots of muggles around due to a music festival but was still able to make the find
TFTC

Very tricky.

Tricky

Took a few minutes. GPS coords off a bit. Nice town. TFTC

Day 8 of our Adventure to the northern Goldfields and Wheatbelt.
Sadly a DNF to start the day despite a good look and being watched my Beacon Muggles.

Well it’s now day 8 of our Northern adventure with m4yb, Jonathan the camper trailer and Max the GeoUte are now in the Wheatbelt.
Had a lovely night camping at Billiburning Rock, great camp site.
No joy here which really surprised us as it is rated as a D1T1! Maybe the muggles got sick of cachers stopping by! Sad!

We are on a short trip around the northern and we pulled in here to have a look around and grab this cache. Took a few minutes to locate.
TFTC Allbehind

Live close to it took some time to found it but lots of fun

Very close to home. I've know about this geocache for a while and have stood within metres of it countless times. We have only just got in on the geocaching action so this was an obvious choice for one of our first ten finds. This micro cache is very cool. TFTC

Took us a while, as we didnt feel it the first time we checked the spot. TFTC

In walking distance from where I live.. great find

My first geocache, walking distance from beacon! Would by two Irish and a kiwi!!

Was having a look, when an old chap from the Men's shed camp out and asked if we would like to look at their old tractors. I couldn't really say no, so missed the cache but learnt some local history

Nice spot for a bit of lunch, easy find and an interesting bit of history TFTC

Day 2 of our Wheatbelt trip and another 425km bringing the total to 1050. 18 caches found today. A great day with some great locations.
This trip out had been a long time in the planning.
Krabiboy and I had hatched a plan and probably changed it about 10 times. dallyho joined us, final plans were set, and off we went
This was the first of the day and after a hit of hunt, I found what we were hunting for.

Allbehind - Kyzabra found your cache Sandalwood dray . The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Our Wheatbelt trip started again this morning in Bencubbin after heading from Perth yesterday. We headed north to Beacon and then east to Bonnie Rock and Mukinbudin.

This was the first cache for the day, and a nice spot. We searched for a few minutes and then checked out the machinery nearby.

TFTC Allbehind.

Allbehind, I found your cache Sandalwood dray on 6/08/2016.
This is my find #2919 and find #1 today.

Day two of kyzabra, krabiboy and mine adventure of Wheatbelt Way. After 600 kms yesterday, were expecting much the same today. Good start to the day here, little tricky here but we got the bugger. Tftc

A quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Sorry - tried everywhere I thought of ... too good for me!

Found while staying in this great spot
Tftcsl

Just about to give up when we finally snagged it. Same as the previous caches we got talking to the old guy at the Men's Shed who gave us the grand tour. 3 others turned up so they know all about the geocache now. TFYC. SL.

Whilst we have been travelling it has been very quiet with nothing open until we got here. We pulled of the road and walked over to the display and and old gent, Bruce ?, came across from the shed and gave us a personal tour. When we had finished he escorted us back to the car and waved us off. Lovely gent, Lovely history and loved the fact that they are actually restoring at this shed but no chance at the cache.

Late log as missed this the other day after spending the day with B12

TFTC! Found on a day trip to the Wheatbelt to grab a bunch of caches and enjoy the countryside. At a quick look; around 12hrs driving for 900km, 29 finds, couple of DNFs.

Was a great day out, attended wyalcatchems first geocaching event, found a bunch of archived caches that were still in place and mostly in good condition. Saw some wonderful sights (see pics in logs). Thanks to all the COs.

Was a quick find thanks to the hint

T needs to be upped to 1.5 as not wheelchair accessible

B... Thing. Had to have muggle hubby to look and he found it. Thanks

Another quick find for us today just prior to leaving town because of a lack of accomodation. SL then left . Thanks to Allbehind for the cache.

Muggle city!

Found cache whilst travelling the Wheathbelt Way.

I celebrated St. Pat's day by doing a loop of the northern part of the Central Wheatbelt. I was worried that the shed had spoiled the cache because I had a mental picture of the GZ being ON the dray, and the GPSr showed GZ as being about 6metres away, but the nano can be located if you read the description properly. 2TF, so a good result. One of the locals spotted me and gave me a guided tour of the Men's Shed which is nearby and well worth a visit. TNLNSL TFTC Allbehind.

Yippee a FTF, we are travelling kiwis and love these small towns. This cache gave us two challenges, finding it took a while and then extracting the log. A favourite because a FTF.
