Thankyou, not really micro though

#5844 Found on our WA Adventure visiting from NE Victoria. Spending part of the day in Bunbury today and was immediately drawn to this reserve to explore some wildflowers. We were blown away by the number of orchids we spotted during our walk with the geohounds. We also spotted about 6 different species as well including the incredible spider orchid! Helped a lost muggle here find their way back to the car thanks to showing them the map on the geocaching app of where they were. TFTC Rach2.

Quick find thank you! Right where I would have put one!

We've seen lots of orchids on this walk. Thanks so much for all the caches in here. We visited again today as we ran out of time last evening.

Tftc, crazy day with the kids but this kept them busy

Today I returned to this fine reserve. Each time I have come here I’ve enjoyed the area. Plenty of birds and some wildflowers.
This time I’m after the last of the active caches. The walk in was as enjoyable as ever, with no sighting of muggles. When I reached GZ I thought of two options. The first was easiest, but less likely. And I did it find the cache there - no surprise really. I then turned my attention to the second spot. As I looked around I spotted the tell-tale and had the cache in hand moments later. The log was signed; and guess who was arriving - bird watching muggles. I still had time to hide the cache and return to walking the track so as to look like I was, as most others, merely exploring the track.

Nice find thanks

Found it after we realised it wasn’t over the fence. TFTC

Good hide

Geodad struck again. We can't believe the geokids missed it.

Day 6 of WAGB22 week, finished up at the annual dinner.

Today was hitting Bunbury pretty hard - particularly the south. Today managed 78 finds (including Lab Adventures), had a 6 DNF’s and 10 FTF’s.

Thanks to the local hiders in maintaining the hides.

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! Apologies for the generic logs. Cheers Rach2!

Its WAGB day! Spent the day hunting down cache with the Machman.
Thanks to all the COs for your efforts. A long but fun day out. TFTC

Couldn’t find the cache nor the tree in question.

Another enjoyable evening walk as we fill in our calendar. TFTC

Found some of the caches along the track during a walk with the family in this beautiful bush reserve. Felt a bit uncomfortable going off the path so stuck to the easy ones... Spotted four different types of orchids and lots of other wildflowers. Thank you for the cache baffle.

Caching day today with BJA3. Found in good condition with no issues, TFTC Rach1 & baffle!

Another find today on an enjoyable walk. Had a chuckle at the name of this tree!!!

Beautiful sunny day out with the family

Good walk around Manea Park today with the grandies

CHEERS

A pleasant time in Manea Park.
We have headed to Bunbury for a couple of days caching.
TFTC Rach2 this is find #8984 for us.

Hi there Rach2.

We found your cache **"SKIPPY IN THE PARK - SNOTTYGOBBLE"** at 11:11:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 23658).

We started the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

Thanks for placing this cache here. Over the years, Geocaching has taken us on many adventures and to lots of wonderful destinations all over Australia. Without 'caching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wanderings. 'Caching has also introduced us to a diverse group of like-minded people, many of whom we now call friends.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thank you Rach2 for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

We woke up to a beautiful spring day so decided to head to Bunbury for a spot of caching & exercise. We certainly got both here. Our English Rellies always love to hear about SNOTTGOBBLES. Left a pathtag named for our youngest granddaughter here. TFTC Rach2

A nice cooler morning for a walk around this park. Managed to find all the caches. TFTC.

Nice new log! thanks for looking after this series.

Happy 2019 TFTC first for the year

SKIPPY IN THE PARK - SNOTTYGOBBLE was transferred from baffle to user Rach2

Cache has been replaced and is ready to be found. Please cover well to hide from muggles walking the park, thank you

Happy Hunting

Hoping to get to replace shortly

Preparing new container.

I found a cache today along the path and as I couldn’t find anything on the app I stuck it behind Banksia. I think it was probably this one though as it was further along the path.

Disabled until I can get to it.

TFTH TFTC! Day one of a huge caching trip with Barnzy12 to Bunbury for the weekend, an area we haven't ventured to for far too long with so many green dots on the map just waiting to be found.
We started off by grabbing all of the newly published ooh yeh heading south caches which hopefully one day can make their way all the way to Bunbury, and luckily they were positioned where they were with the newly installed fixed point to point camera nearby which may have nabbed us otherwise.
We got to Bunbury after grabbing a nearby archived team red roo cache and went to complete the skippy in the bush series which was a lovely walk around some suburban bushland with a great variety of plants and vegetation for us to see. All containers bar the disabled one found without issue. I might have to ask you where you get your magnets for the mint tins as they are highly effective baffle!!
We then grabbed a bunch of park and grabs around town which were pretty stock standard.
We then drove down to the Ludlow Forrest to complete the Bigfoot series of caches and some others in the bush. It was a lovely drive around on the 4x4, which handled the bush nicely even with a few obstacles. The highlight of the day was some ripper money box hides including big foots ATM, which lived up to the normal team money box standard
We closed out the first day with some park and grabs around town at dusk and into the evening. Thanks to the local COs for their caches so far..

These caches are what geocaching is all about for us. At Manea Park we were able to combine two of our passions – wildflowers and geocaching. We photographed a wide variety of flora between the showers and despite the cold and damp really enjoyed our walk. Thanks for your excellent series.

I know I have a heavy cold but ..... I did not want to be reminded! What a name!! TNLNSL Thanks again baffle.

A quick find while down the SW visiting our old neighbours. We had just been out to the cinema & dessert with friends & then headed off on a family walk through the Manea Park when we suddenly thought to check if there were caches. We saw a a skippy while doing this one. Thanks

TFTC baffle

Very nice walk around the park Thanks Baffle.

There has been a lot of work done in this park since I was last here almost 3 years ago.
Thanks baffle for giving me an excuse to return. TNLN

These were our last few caches for the weekend, we should have been on the road home but we managed to squeeze them in just before hitting the road. So many wild flowers in bloom, fantastic, thanks for the cache baffle

Another fantastic baffle series. We had a fantastic hour racing around the loop between showers. Thanks.

Nice find TFTC

Now that the dust is starting to settle from the WA Goes BIG 2015 event, I can finally get back out there and do some caching of my own. Teamed up with geobuddy Mark and headed southwards, yet again. Didn't know if we would get down to this series, but glad we did. Enjoyed the walk immensely. All were straightforward finds except for one sneaky one. Thanks for the exercise and the smileys baffle.

Well it's time to start caching again to fill my calendar

After doing the shopping early this morning, a quick visit from Sachiplaying, then sinking myself in my routine puzzles I was ready to go for a 'hunt'

Muggle put the roast on and we were out the dog along with the dog and umbrellas

Got to the main entrance and took the walk to gz, cleaning out boots along the way [^]

A quick find in the appropriate location and the rain held off

TFTC baffle

Still have another walk to do but that's for another day

Found this morning x

FOUND TODAY WITH OUR CACHING KIDS

Our weekend guests had to make an early morning departure to endeavour to beat the rush of muggles heading north after the long weekend. We decided to take the geo-schnauzers for a walk through Manea Park to pick up these recently new caches. Beautiful morning for a stroll and it seemed we had the place to ourselves as we didn't pass any muggles. Thanks baffle

Out caching with OOH YEH down here... Quick find here now off to do the others... TFTC

I was heading down bunbury way with Kristybelle today and after finishing what i had to do we stopped to grab some caches. We picked up all the SKIPPY IN THE PARK caches and 1 for the girl. A nice pleasant walk and all caches were found quickly except SKIPPY IN THE PARK SPEARWOOD which took quite a bit of searching. TFTC baffle

Thx for cache. Never forget Snottygobble Tree. Car rally had to bring a sample off the leaf back to check point.

Woohoo!!! Found it !!!

I found snottygobble.I got off to a poor start as I entered off the wrong road, luckily I soldiered on because when I found the right path it took me on a lovely walk. TFTC

Easy find and it is a weird tree!tftc
