Lots of ants! very hungry ones too. Looked long and hard but this still evaded us. Will try again but the activity log doesn't sound promising. Maybe this one needs "attention".
Didn't find it but found the slithering serpent. Baby snake under log so use tools if around log
Ah yes !!
That olde Geraldtowne DNF feeling had come back to me here
A few logs were inspected with no obvious cache finds.
Reading the cache notes, and previous logs I could guess what the camo was
And 15 minutes of searching, revealed nothing !!
So I am adding me own 'upside down' smilie to the ever growing list

I think I found ground zero but could not find the cache. I need more time, less weather coming in and some tools, I didn't have my caching bag with me.
Did not spend as much time as i would of liked looking as i was getting covered in ants. Will try another time
We arrived in Geraldton yesterday and after having breakfast this morning we headed out to find some local caches. We started off ok and then things went downhill with lots of DNFS. We only managed 23 finds today with 11 DNFS and I'm sure most of them were missing with a few tricky ones that we just couldn't find after searching for ages. Hopefully we have more luck tomorrow finding caches. TFTH
Day fifty three of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747.
Another travelling day - Hamelin Pools to Geraldton.
Woke up to a grey day, but the rain didn't start until we were past Northampton - about when we started doing a few caches.
The rain had eased a bit late in the afternoon so we travelled the beach road for a few caches and a few DNFs!
The last cache on this short run along the beach road - and it was a DNF!
Thanks, Robmc.

And again. Spent a long time here too with no luck. Getting frustrated by the afternoon's caching run.
Now that is clever. This made our 160th find and 5th for today. Time to go home and see if we have power and get some lunch. TFTC. SL.
Geo R had his hand on the cache for quite some time before he realised! A bit of giggling from the sidelines made him give it a better look and now we have signed the log we can put our smilie here! Yay! Another favourite point to you guys from us for some very clever camo! TFTC 
It seemed appropriate to search for this cache today as we had come across an unwanted visitor earlier. There seemed to be obvious locations for a hide but they weren't revealing anything. We were about to give up in frustration when we stood back and gave the area a good old geocacher look. Ah huh! There he is!
After picking up a branch to poke at a snake to check if it's real or fake (it was real) we ended up finding the cache eventually.
Went back today for a second look. Easy find this time only five minutes including the drive there and back.
After 20 finds yesterday, now you have us stumped on our first search of the day! We'll be back...
Thankfully geohubby is extremely stubborn and wouldn't accept my giving up! Gah! TFTC and driving me mad!
Needed to fill another blank on the geo-calender today. A wild day to be out. Hot and windy with sand blowing everywhere. Luckily a quick find. SL and back to the car air conditioning. TFTC jrlt, a well constructed cache, deserves a Brownie point.
Woohoo *FTF*, 17/12/2014 14.50hrs, our closed to home FTF, still over 400km away though! Bit of a lucky shot here. We were just logging the finds and DNF's in this street and geohubby noticed another one we missed. No, we did not miss it, it is brand new! So we organised the motorhome again and off we went, we knew were to go that helps. Cache was found pretty quick, but we love the hide, worth a favorite. TFTC jrlt.
