Pirates Loot Esperance, Western Australia, Australia
By goosebumpers on 12-Oct-14. Waypoint GC5F2GC

No luck

we are leaving town and are not able to keep replacing the cache so have decided to archive it.

DNF

No luck with this one this evening. Might have to try again with the eagle eyed geokids in tow.

Cute! tftc

During our 4-week trip through Western Australia we had a great time there and we also found a couple of caches along the route. We stopped here too to search and grab this caches. Fabulous area and well worth a visit. Very nice and beautiful geocaching site. Thanks for hiding this cache in this stunning area and greetings from Germany!

A neat little hide. Thank you

Nice walk from caravan site, T4TC, Merry Christmas.

TFTC/TFTH Enjoyed the Pirates loot.

No muggles around quick find. TFTC cheers

Quick find and our first for Esperance. Here visiting my folks with my girlfriend for a few weeks. Will be planting a few caches myself while I am here for you local guys and gals to find. Greetings from Cape Town. Matt and Mel. TFTC.

Found during our stop over in Esperance. Unable to get log out, no tweezers

Lovely spot, great ocean views. Nice to sit & watch the marriners sailout. Thanks for the thrills & spills

It had been taken down when we tried to look for it

Visiting this lovely town off the Radiance of the Seas in port today.
Definitely a D1 T1. Quick grab at a nice spot with an interesting history. Really do need tweezers for this one. Thanks goosebumpers

Grey nomading and caching our way up the middle, across the top, down to Perth and home to Adelaide for Xmas. Another pretty green one. T.F.T.C.

In Esperance for work and caching in my spare time this is one I found along the way. Had my hands on this fresh new cache quickly but took longer to remove the log. I try to leave it hanging out a bit for the next person. SL TFTC goosebumpers

Very small. Need tweezers! TFTC

I am enabling this cache. Many thanks to the thoughtful RARSI who has not only supplied the cache but has put it in place as well.

Hey goosebumpers I have spare magnetic nano if your in need

I have been to GZ today and the cache has definitely gone. Unfortunately I don't have a replacement so I am temporarily disabling the cache until I can get a new one.

I don't know were it is, I was looking for a while until I noticed one of the comments someone said saying it had been removed. Bummer!

Hello

Looked a number of times

Finally met fellow geocacher .

She told us we were in the right spot.

It had been removed

I tell you what, it's so cold today (allegedly spring too!) the very thought of a piratical life in an open whale boat sounds like pure misery. Great view of the bay and jetty. Second to sign the lively pristine new log sheet. TFTC.

TFTC. It is my 1st to find nice spot. Tweezers and a sharp pen is a good idea

Placed a new log in the cache this morning.

Lovely spot, tiny, well hidden. TFTC

Good quick find out with Max&Val TFTC and the history =) p.s log is full

Lovely spot for a cache! Couldn't sign as log was full, attached photo instead. Thanks Goosebumpers

Did not do find. Gps said it was 3mtrs in the water......grrr. next time when I come over from Vic.

Sneaky little nano, we found it after thinking outside of the box. Great spot for a cache.

Great place ! logbook is full, signed between two logs. Greetings from Switzerland. TFTC !

That was tiny but coordinates were spot on. Thanks

Pretty cool

Great spot

Found after a short search with the geo family this morning, the youngest gaoled made the find while the others went rock hopping, thanks goosebumpers for the cache.

After 14 finds in wet windy conditions, this was the cache that broke us. We arrived during a heavy shower, and decided to go for it anyway as it has a difficulty 1 rating. Surely a quick grab. Approximately three freezing seconds looking and one huge wave later, and a hot shower in our hotel was all we wanted. The search was postponed til the following morning and with much better attitudes we made the quick grab. Coords were spot on. TFTC

P.S. Log is full, needs a new one.

A lovely spot with xambo4u & pprass. Thanks goosebumpers.

Found it

While on our travels with &0thers and pprass we arrived in Esperance. Had this afternoon to check out some caches. Did not start out well and needed a find to break the 3dnf's. This such a lovely water front district, it's a credit to the council. Nice easy find. Thanks for the drought breaker

Found at 3:50 PM GAFF5 in the company of xambo4u and &others.
After 3 DNF's in a row, we were beginning to wonder if we had lost the touch [B)] However at this lovely location we quickly located the cache and then enjoyed reading the signs and checking out the treasure box [^]
Thanks goosebumpers.

Tftc!

On my journey around the world, I searched any caches around Esperance. Thank you for showing me this place in a beautiful landscape.
The best wishes from Germany,

The new foreshore looks great and the bronze castings add to the interest. Thanks Goosebumpers.

First find for Team Dazzlyn while holidaying in beautiful Esperance. Here's to many more!

Great foreshore landscaping.

Great new area

Tricky find. found it on our second try
TFTC
If ur looking for a hint. Bring a pen and tweezers...

Great area & a quick find. TFTC

First time we've showed somebody else how to geocache and couldn't find!!!

We had a good explore along the foreshore and enjoyed knowing we had some extra looking to do. REad all the signs and got a history lesson as well. Thanks.

Day Twenty of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747. Today we cleaned up the deadly treadlies and hit the cycle path in Esperance - didn't get too wet thanks to all the shelters in the new section. We then spent the afternoon doing the Great Ocean Drive (and a few caches).
The foreshore looks very flash these days with all the new work. I particularly like the pirate's treasure. Not so keen on nanos though.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7879. The first full day in Esperance for Robmc and me. Unfortunately for us showers and more showers were the order for the day so it made things a tad damp for most of our caching. This morning we jumped on the bikes early to explore the beautiful new foreshore area and attempt to pick up a few smilies along the way. Mixed success however.

Found this one at 9.00am before the next band of showers came across. Loved the pirates' treasure nearby. Due to the rain, and the busy gardeners who were mowing, trimming edges and blowing grass away I had to miss out on reading about the pirates. Hope to get back here on the bikes in the next day or so. Nasty little nano however but our names are in the log.

Thanks goosebumpers

Zook001 found it. Tiny cache. Its a pirates life for me ☆☆

A bit tricky, found it on the second attempt, didn't dare take scroll out! tftc

Tricky little bugger....

Took some muggle with us to this one to teach them about geocaching

Cheers TFTC nice view

Spending a few days in Esperance, got out with Kool Running to go hunting for some new Esperance caches. Easy find, great work done by the Shire in all the improvements to the Foreshore.

Found with Coastn Along.

So sad couldn't find it.

TFTH.goosebumpers

Was a bit hard hard to get a clue from a friend

Wow that was a challenge, very small but we found it

Very nice promenade in Esperance. We had a nice walk from "Don´s landing" to "Bay View". Afterwards an adventureous tendering back to the ship (last tenderboat before a 6-hour-pause)

Found the pirates loot! Nice spot to take in the view. Had a bit of trouble getting the log out but we had read the previous log and were prepared. SL TFTC

Found it but unable to remove the log from the casing. Tried several times and then abandoned the log so as not to destroy the paper.

TFTC, cheers Kambrook
