Discovering Port Lincoln cache by cache with Purrfect Di, Sebastbat, and Jack.
This rat seems to be missing completely now [:(!]
Thanks for the challenge viper231
will place on the watch list and return asap!

Found on bay side of track. Log book needs replacing as it is soaked.

Found the rat. I have met this trail before. A sample was sent to the lab by the local BFG.

Nice serie of caches, the log needs maintenance as it is very wet.

Quick easy find

# 7790. Our first day of Easter camping in the Lincoln National Park and quite a glorious day today. Robmc and I set forth to find some of the local caches, especially my namesake and If's and Roostaman's. In the end we we found 16 and had 2 DNFs. At least I think that was the tally.

Rob has a few rattus caches back home - not quite sure why he has this affinity ? Our travelling TB mascot is Randolph Rat and he is enjoying his journey so far. We are on 10 weeks touring holiday and have just completed week 1.

Anyhoo, this one led us a merry dance until we changed sides of the track and then bingo, there was the sneaky devil looking at us.

Thanks viper231

Day Ten of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747. Today we wandered around the area between our camp at Surfleet Cove, Lincoln National Park to Port Lincoln.
I reckon the bush rats must have moved the cache from one side of the path to the other - both of us were sure our GPSr was pointing to the other side.
This was as far as we walked along this path today. A nice stroll.
Thanks, Robmc.

Good find

Great hide thanx for the find

Great hide thanks for the find

Last one before heading back to the car. Thanks for the hide viper231.

Day eleven of my holidays, just caching around the outskirts of Point Lincoln. There were some wins and some losses, but generally wins. The wins were generally easy, and the losses, well, too hard for me to find. I often find these sorts of caches difficult to find, but fortunately that wasn't the case here.

My thanks to viper231 for the cache.

Thanks for the cache

easy fine in early morning

TFC nice morning for it

Congratulations once again to If on his FTF glad you had the chance and glad you got the find.

Thanks again [green]viper231[/green] for another ratty cache
Nice to learn that we have so many native rats and that they were all not intoduced
Or maybe there were introduced, just not by people a long time ago [^]


TFTC on my wanderings today
Scrunchy wanderings along the olde tramway by the shoreline [^]
