It was a lovely morning for walking around the trails finding the caches some of them had disappeared with the fire the last time I was here. This was an enjoyable multi and the photo helped to locate it at GZ. Log signed and replaced as found. Thanks Kyzabra for all the smileys today.

I made a total mess of this to reinforce my hate of multis. I searched my GZ without success. PAF and got a different coordinate. Turned out that was too close to another cache. Read back through logs and discovered your image that resembled my original search area. Back I rode and managed to find it with the extra info. Phew! Thanks.

Took a walk to pick up the latest VITSOL caches and to also clear up some older ones in the area.
Loved the variety of the nicely themed caches.

Newbies so took us a while to figure it out
 
14-Jul-20
Picked up the clues quite quickly and I really thought they wouldn’t be that obvious. Good choice here.

A walk to GZ and a quick find.

Picked up a few VITSOL caches this arvo. Thanks Kyzabra for the series, I have more to find still.

Originally my calculations were off with this one but saw the error of my ways and quickly corrected the final coordinates to locate the cache. At this stage I was beginning to regret not bringing a hat along as the sun was well and truly beating down. Thanks Kyzabra. A nice simple multi thrown in the mix. Smile

A welfare check today at VITSOL 15 - Gotta Pay The Bills.
All is good. Plenty of room in log.

We were a bit wary of our in the field calculations, but upon plugging them in as a waypoint they looked pretty good. We shouldn’t have doubted ourselves as they were spot on! Thanks for the fun multi!
 
04-Mar-19
We gained the needed information at the start of our walk we grabbed a couple of other caches before making our way here.
Dad finally got a find here after a methodical search around where the phone was pointing.

Thanks Kyzabra for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1407 for me.

Glad we wandered on and found the right track in. All is good with this cache Kyzabra; we'd never have come down here had it not been for you setting these up, so thanks for that.

Day Twelve of our holiday in Western Oz.
Bettyboo3747 and I have spent the day in Lake Cooloongup Reserve walking around doing the VITSOL series and few stragglers. That is apart from the bit we went back in town to have a long lunch at Dome.

We were signing this cache, when we glanced over and sitting on a grass tree on the other side of the track, was a lizard sunning himself. He was not concerned about us.
We had thought we has seen the last of the sandy track though.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12732. Day 12 of our WA holiday and our 7th day based in Rockingham. After being a bit domesticated this morning we got away to a late start and went back to a familar area to gather up the VITSOL series. I would have liked my bicycle in here as I am not a happy walker or hiker and it was a long walk for me, even with a nice lunch break at Dome. We came back after that to do the long walk along the railway line fence. Fortunately, unlike the previous finders we saw no angry tiger snakes today.

This was still pretty much the start of our long hot walk this afternoon next to the busy and noisy train line. Gathered the clues to gain new information and on we trudged. There was a very nice little lizard on one of the grass trees. I took his phto and he didn't seem to mind. Names in the log and on we went.

Thanks Kyzabra

Thank you! In the area for the WAGB event. On a cool morning papillon367 and I teamed up to give the vitsol series a go. We had passed the waypoints earlier on our walk, and now was a convenient time to detour to the final coordinates. Cache found in good condition.
 
10-Sep-17
In Rockingham for the WAGB event, ullyssia and I teamed up to tackle this fun series. The weather was perfect for a walk and if there were any snakes, they stayed out of our way. We had tackled the track along the train line from West to East so we ended up making this find out of sequence, but there was a nice wide track leading us to it from where we were. Thank you for the hide Kyzabra.

Met up with the better half of the LAXA team for a nice sunny spring walk at the reserve. We found all the caches easily, saw wildflowers, native orchids, lizards, birds, butterflies and one very cranky tiger snake who decided she doesn't like us in her home and started to chase us off! so we politely obliged, backing away rather quickly, not taking our eyes off her! So all in all we had a lovely time collecting a bunch of smilies.

Had some much needed time off this lovely Monday and with the weather being kind to us I had teamed up with Me&B for a round of bush walking. We started at VITSOL 10 and made our way through all of them. All were quickly found and singed. We have met some friendly and some not so friendly locals. Seeing a tiger snake crossing our pass and clearly taking notice of us very quickly reminds you who's lounge room you are walking through. I have thoroughly enjoyed the walk and all caches found. Thanks for placing and maintaining this series. Loved it.

It's been a while since Barnzy12 and I have set aside a full day for a caching adventure, so we hatched a small plan to have Thursday afternoon free for a half day caching run.

With time being tight this afternoon we decided to head to Rockingham and shoalwater to help cleanup the map before several new hides come up in the area around the WAGB event.

We picked up all caches in the vitsol series, the new PP2 caches along Parkin road and the caches around Point Peron.

Vitsol was a great series with a great variety of containers and hide styles, certainly lived up to the name of the series! Great job kyzabra, some fav points coming your way.

We then turned our attention to the point person caches which were all great with some nicely done camo jobs and a few more installments in the shipwrecks of Western Australia series.

We then tackled the new pommie Parkin caches which were all good quick finds and helped with adding some numbers to give the day a good total find count.

We also had a sticky Beek at the facilities on offer for WAGB, which look dry nice and some
Nearby accomodation which should suffice!!

Thanks to the COs for a great day out and we look forward to coming back to Rockingham for WAGB2017!!

So it's Fathers Day and we have no kids in the state, so I suggest to muggle hubby that we take the dog for a walk, oh and there's a geocache there somewhere too. When we get home we will go somewhere where he would like to spend the day. With the deal done we set off.
Did I mention that we had been here about a year ago at least and I just couldn't get it so we just did the other caches down the track.
Walked down the track a bit and found waypoint 1, wrote down the answer to question 1.
Continued walking down the track we came across waypoint 2 and wrote the answer to question 2.
Looked at question 3 and became confused then realised that I need the answers from waypoint 1.
We started to walk back when hubby said that he remembered the word.
The mud started to clear and I thought I had it all worked out so I put the new co ords into the iPhone, checked out where we had to go and realised that I was wrong, my new co ords took me to the other side of the railway line. Looking at my paper I realised my mistake, so I put the new new co ords in and came up with a probable spot.
So with hubby and dog in tow we set off to GZ. By now though my back and leg were caning and my pace had slowed dramatically.
We finally arrived at GZ and I was so thankful that my co ords were spot on as we were rewarded with a lovely little cache with everything inside in good condition. After the signing was completed and the cache returned to where found we started our way back to the car, except hubby decided we should take a different track as it looked more shady. That was all well and good but it was sandy and by now I was at the point of not being able to walk properly so I had to shuffle the rest of the way.
Finally back to the car and what should of been no more than half hour walk turned into a marathon of over 2 hours. Poor hubby didn't get to do what he wanted to as I needed to lay down due to not being able to walk any more but I'm sure he had fun walking in the bush
The best part of this is that I have finally gained a smiley face for this and can take it off the list of have to do's.
Thanks for the multi Kyzabra, your cache is in excellent condition. We TN&LN.

Since recently moving to Perth, there has been a lack of geocaching on my behalf! So yesterday I purchased a mountain bike and I took it for a test ride today, along with grabbing a heap of caches as well!!

Took a while to figure out how to get on the right track. but I got there in the end

TFTC!!

Found at 4:12:00 PM.

A quick walk down to this one and again I could put my name down in the log. The only thing - I did it out of numerical order!!!


Thanks for the cache Kyzabra, it was cache number 2110 for me and was 14 in my run of 16 for today's geocaching effort.

Cheers Cool

Had a nearby meeting this morning so took the opportunity to knock off some VITSOL caches beforehand. These have been on the to-do list for quite a while now and am glad to grab a few smileys for the series.

Parked up near number 10 at 7:30am in the hope of beating the heat but by the time I got back to the car around 9:15 I definitely had some sweat on the brow. I had planned to find 12 altogether but due to time constraints only managed to attempt 8. Still a productive morning in my view.

A nice simple multi, just the way I like them. Arrived at the final GZ and noticed something a bit familiar to a recent find so checked there first and voila.

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Busselton at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2015' event. Registrations now open.

Having already completed the first caches in this series, set of after the Event with iluvtrekking and JacobsCrew2 to score the latest additions. Temperature was hovering around the 40 deg as we made our way through the reserve. Found the required info at the two w/p's and made our way to gz to make a quick find.. Thanks Kyzabra

We tackled part two for the Vitsol series with richlink and JacobsCrew2 after the Australia Day event.
It was very hot on that white limestone track, a big thank you Kyzabra for accurate coordinates which helped us complete the caches reasonably quickly. Even a multi could not solw us down. Kyzabra[xx(][xx(]

Chwiliwr solved this so did it on the way back to the car.
Thanks Kyzabra.

After doing some work nearby in Wellard the better half and I came down here to walk around the caches that we hadn't yet done. Was still hot but the wind kept the heat down for most of the walk. It was only the very sandy bits that were a pain (literally) for both of us and we were quite tired by the time we returned to the car. All caches were found without problems.

Had worked out the required information for GZ at the start of our walk but decided to do it on the way back to the car after doing all the other caches.

Thanks Kyzabra for the cache.

3rd attempt. Atleast this time I was on the correct side of the train line. Should have done the 6 Ps. Prior planning prevents..........
Anyway! Took the travel bug as it vaguely resembles a Tardis. TFTC.
 
08-Nov-14
One of my favourite types of multi, easy to decipher clues, a short walk and a container larger than a micro [^] we stopped here for a minute to enjoy the peace and then moved on Smile have a favourite for this one as well Big Grin

Kyzabra - jinta29 found your cache VITSOL 15 - Gotta Pay The Bills on 2014-11-08 at 12:22 pm. This is find #2259 for us! TFTC and thanks for bringing us here.

After having a quick coffee with OOH YEH this morning we decided to grab this multi on my way home... It was quite a walk in the heat but we made the find quickly once at gz... After signing the log we quickly returned the cache to its spot then battled the flys all the way back to car hahahaha TFTC Smile
 
01-Nov-14
Kristybelle came down my house for a coffee this morning then we stopped to grab this multi which i didnt get when i did the rest of the series. It was a fairly long walk and the flys were driving us crazy but once at GZ the cache was quickly found TFTC Kyzabra Dropped off 2 TBS

Mum told me we were going for a little walk... it wasn't little & it took ages but we eventually made it back to the car after finding this cache on the way Big Grin

Thanks Kyzabra Smile

Looking to get out in the fresh air with the kids today, I decided we would take a walk to find this one that we missed out on last week... The walk was a bit longer than I expected, but still the kids were happy to be outside running off some energy Smile After finding the correct path in, the GPSr finally started counting down again & soon enough we were closing in on GZ... Master 3 ran ahead here & was very excited to make the find (DangerMouse09 was not so happy, that his little brother is getting very clever now Wink)

Upon opening the logbook, we were very surprised to see we were only the second finder [?] TFTC Kyzabra... We then decided to continue along the track to see where it went, & we did eventually end up back at the car Razz

*FTF @ 9.45pm*

I saw the series get published just as I was getting out of the shower after getting home from a trip to Bathurst, and was quite exhausted. I decided to duck out and grab them there and then as I had only grabbed two caches in the last week over in NSW. I had to find all of my gear, loaded it in the geo-mobile and then headed off to the suggested parking waypoint. I initially only wanted to grab the first in the series, as it was a nano and close to the road, but once I got here, I decided to go out and grab the remainder of the series. After all, I knew I was getting the FTFs on them all. I grabbed the required info on the way down the track and moved onto the next cache. After having no success at VITSOL 12, I moved on towards this one hoping for an easy grab under torchlight. It was found in a matter of moments, with good coordinates. I think this may be my first FTF on a multi. TFTC Kyzabra
