Rollercoaster Harris River, Western Australia, Australia
By Razzam on 08-Jan-15. Waypoint GC5JZ3R

Whilst camped at Potters Gorge we headed into town for some bike repairs & made a detour on our way back to camp to find a couple of caches missed on our last visit... This cache was one of them & it was not quite a rollercoaster but more like something found at Outback Splash We got soaked as we left the car, the heavens opened but we decided to continue following trails all the way to GZ in the pouring rain... Made a quick find & continued all the way back to the car when the sun finally appeared TFTC Razzam

Well hidden, definitely requires a 4wd to get there.

This was the second cache I had in mind for today. I was trying to work out how to get there and I saw what looked like a potential track on Google Earth. But when it got there I could not see the track on the ground. So I headed directly through the bush. Very shortly thereafter I came across what might have been a track long ago. It may just be where the Roos frequent. Anyway it led me almost directly to the cache. The cache was spotted as I approached.
On the way back I tried to follow the faint track back out but it seemed harder to see and I went astray a few times before correcting.

Couldn't see the seesaw

Found while down in Bunbury and Collie for the WAGB22 event. Great weekend!

In the bunbury area for WAGB22, out with a few other caches to try our luck.
TFTC.

In Bunbury and Collie for WAGB2022! A massive weekend of caching and catching up with friends. A big thank you to all the COs that have placed caches for this weekend, as well as COs maintained by existing listings. You have made this weekend what it is!

Managed to navigate the track in. A cool car wreck nearby! A previous cacher perhaps also left their stubby behind at the cache. Cheers Razzam!

Day 7 of WAGB22 Week, out to Collie around with some more infill through Bunbury and Dalyellup.
Today amassed 57 finds, 7 FTF’s and 1 DNF (fire had been through the area)

Thanks to all the CO for setting up and maintaining their hides. Sorry about the generic logs.

Day 4 Of our WAGB22 adventures: A great start to the day- a scenic country drive although a bit bumpy along a 4WD track. Cito event in Collie. Several more caches found and lots of laughs . What a full day . Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining their caches for others to find , tftc

Day 4 of caching our way around Bunbury and surrounds for WAGB22. Ive enjoyed the variety of hides down here. Thank you to the COs for placing these caches out here for others to enjoy. Apologies for the generic logs.

Lovely walk but unfortunately a lot of the obstacles have either fallen apart or been pulled

Cool hike

Nice walk through the bush along zig zagging tracks before a very pleasant lunch at a nearby winery. Plenty of cyclists using the tracks today. TFTC

Thanks nice walk through the bush spotting orchids. Found the cache with good coordinates in a likely place we spotted from 15 meters out

Down in Collie for the non-event of Family Steiner’s Seven Year Itch. We got down as early as possible after a FTF near the CBD and made the most of some glorious caching weather.

Started off near Wellington Dam grabbing a few of the caches there and venturing mainly on the outskirts of town before the pub lunch and a few caches north of the town and ultimately the big ride home.

Had a great day trying for some unloved, the highlight of which was 1000 days unloved on bibbi bridge.

Thanks familysteiner and the local Collie COs in particular Razzam for showing us some unique sights.

Thanks Razzam for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces.

Out and about with M4YB and Megawatt60. A bit of Bush bashing to get to this one but nothing major. TFTC ??

Caching in Collie with Two + Four and megawat60. A bit of a bushwalk here then Mrs Two+Foyr made this find. TFTC.

Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
I just followed the troops and mrs 2+4 made find. Great wildflowers starting to bloom.
Thanks for the hide and Razzam.

Stayed at Collie for the weekend, The weather was a very nice day . [^]

TFTC Razzam this is find # 3793 for us.

Quite a hike through the bush from the road, but once we were in the area a fairly easy find. Tftc

Woohoo !!! Found it !!!
Nice little journey through the bush to this one. Gonna have to come back with the mountain bike one day and try that seasaw on the mountain bike track.
TFTC

Definitely need long pants. Not shorts and thongs. Haha. Thanks

Wow what a cool bike track!
Thanks for the hunt

Nice walk

Easy to find, watch out for sand flies!

car bodies not completely useless in the bush you can ride your bike over them a challenge i prefer less than finding a cache TFTC TNLN

TFTC Razzam

I strolled from the main road, along the trails to find GZ
The last bit of the stroll along the rollercoaster was the fun bit
I outgrew risking life and limb riding me mountain bike over obstacles like these when I was about 25

Which is why I haven't broken any bones ... yet

Avoiding walking over the see-saw, I was soon searching for a cache.
And found one

TFTC

What an awesome find. Thankyou

Fun

We met up with richlink this morning to do the Footy Series and a few other caches in the area before we had to head home again. Thanks Razzam.

After completing the Footy series in Collie with iluvtrekking we decided to grab a few others with them before they had to head home to Perth. Found the track in towards gz and managed to park around 100 mts from gz. After a short walk through the scrub, we quickly located the cache and checked out the feature while recording our visit. Thanks Razzam

Thank you razzam for bringing us mountain biking here- after finding the one at the log roll yesterday we went back out camp, packed up and came here today however the log rollover yes- the car and see-saw are abit passed my brave levels lol haha such a gorgeous track and piece of bush- I will be back

Found it on the 15th anniversary of geocaching!

So many caches out there, waiting to be found. ~Tango~ was up from Albany again and was happy to do spend another day caching, so off we set, heading southwards. Enjoyed the walk up to gz, admiring the structures as we passed them. Loved the old ute. Found the cache after expanding our search area somewhat. Did a waypoint averaging whilst there too.

Now to check out the video clip. Thanks for the cache Razzam

Holy moley. You guys are crazy. The You Tube makes it look easy but who was it the came up with the idea of riding a bike over a car? Enjoyed it a lot but didn't really get much help from the clue.
