We found the coordinates and checked if they were right. But it seemed to be in the burnt zone so we found nothing. It was probably taken by the fire .
We did this back to front. We did the self guided cave tour then looked for the cache. The info for ABC was found just past the entry. The info for DEF was trickier to obtain. We tried our memories, nope, we tried google, nope so we tried our caching radar and after a short search we found it.
The cache container is very rusty and the logbook is mush. Took a photo as unable to sign the log. Sorry we couldn't replace the cache.

Last day in Margaret River and final opportunity to grab a few more caches in the area. I need to find a lot more multis for some challenges so I went for a drive along Caves Road to collect the 3 "cave" multis. Not much rain today and most caches were quick finds, so a better day than yesterday! Thank you for the hides SeabreezeOZ.
The second part of the notes is just after the Caves, enjoy the experience of the Caves and look for the signs after them.
Found the corrected coordinates after a splendid walk through the cave, unfortunately was pushed for time due to very hungry children and was unable to locate the final.
I have marked the coordinates for a later search.

Found ABC answers easily but DEF were nowhere to be found even though paid and enjoyed tour. Used intuition and previous experience to find final cache.

We are on our 5week holiday travelling the coast to enjoy the sunshine and water. Along our travels we made a few stops to explore the area and grab a few caches . Today we decided to explore Mammoth Cave.
What a great tour we all really enjoyed it. The added benefit was the cache here. We got the abc waypoints easily but we thought we missed def but located it during the tour although you don’t need to be on the tour to access the info. Thanks for placing this cache as it added to our enjoyment.

Hi there SeabreezeOZ.
This is the 2nd of 2 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]
We spent quite some time here but we couldn't locate the info for D,E & F, so here's a DNF from us.
Info is NOT available 24/7 & not very happy that we were asked to pay before proceeding past the 2nd door.
Regards
Ian and Penny

Found with cullum68 while in this lovely area time for some caches thanks for the cache
Found on a few days In Margaret river before heading to Collie to finish off the Bibbulumum track. Thankyou for the cache . Cache replaced
PP1 & our pommie visitors went to visit the caves while I stayed above ground & worked out the coordinates for this one. However I had to wait for assistance with the retrieval as it was just a stretch too far. TFTC SeabreezeOz

Had planned for the last week to do a day trip down to Augusta to pick up the caches there and a couple of others on the way. The weather was terrible when we left early with torrential rain and thunder and lightening. We decided to still go and by the time we got to Augusta the weather was fine and we were able to get most of the caches on our list. There was lots of muggles everywhere we went but most caches were quickly found with a few that took a bit of searching. Thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches for us and everyone else to find.
A Southwest escape again with Barnzy12 starting in Perth heading to Margaret river via Dunsborough yallingup and down the coast road.
Day two had us visiting Augusta to Pemberton with a great drive through heartbreak track with stunning Karri Forrest.
Day three was spend visiting Windy Harbour ... living up to its name and then through to Walpole where an epic walk up GC18W4D fire lookout ended the day.
Day four was to be spent walking through Walpole-Nornalup National Park to complete the Hop on Top walk and series of 7 geocaches. A great walk spend with a team of others.
The day ended with a huge drive back to Perth ready for a day of work on Monday.
During the 4 day adventure plenty of caches found around 90 with a good range of types and container sizes. Some great photos and memories to take away.
Found this one without the follow all of the multi steps
SeabreezeOZ I found your cache Mammoth Cave thanks for placing this hide for myself and others to find.

Out on a 4-day south west exploration with Cravo10 with the eventual goal of meeting up for a group assault on the Top on Hop in Walpole Nornalup National Park.
Day 2 saw us leaving Margaret River and travelling via Caves Road to Augusta, and then eventually to our Pemberton where we stayed the night.
We started bright and early, and completed the night cache in town just as the sun was coming up. We then set to work on the remaining wharncliffe mill caches that we hadn't found, as parts of the track were closed on our last visit.
We caches our way via Redgate beach, and the Caves which had a number of good multi caches and loudys cache at the unmarked cave, which was a highlight of the day.
We continued towards Augusta, where we picked up all the caches around town except for one at the beach and enjoyed a nice walk to the creating the capes earth cache.
Confining on to Molloy Island where we grabbed the traditional there and onto sues bridge where we did a huge bush bash to get the t4.5 cache and a couple of others.
Eventually making our way to Pemberton via Beedelup Falls, we decided to complete the Heartbreak drive trail which is highly recommend and a great local series.
Our last cache of the day was an archived multi at the local cemetery and once we worked out one thing it was a quick find. Ironically the cache has had more finds after it was archived than it did when it was an active listed cache!
Thanks to the local COs for a great day out.

Checked the likely spots and nada. A good spider web filled search still turned up nothing. Then returned to my original start point and spotted it. Grrrr. Cache blindness. No more blue face here. Find 1400 so I left a pathtag. TFTC.
Out and about today doing a maintenance run and also checking out a new place to put a cache
After a few DNFs on this one it was time to go and see what was happening
Sure enough, on arrival at GZ it was quickly obvious why this one was not able to be found
There has been some recent construction work and the original hiding place had been removed
There is now a new container in place and should be an easy find
Check the hint if you have troubles
Happy caching, Mark, SeabreezeOZ

We are in Australia for a holiday to visit our daughter and her husband.Today we make a beautifull walk and started on the parking of Lake cave.
Thanks for the caches and greetings from The Netherlands.
We are amazing, we find the answers and didn't find the cache. At home we use the checker and had a mistake. We didn't know white.
Grabbed all the clues and had a excellent time in the cave with the entire cave to myself. I had a poke at GZ but not as through as I would have liked. Thanks for bringing me here.
Easily solved the multi and checked it was correct. Got to GZ but the four of us looked for ages with no joy. Public holiday weekend so about 30 cars came past. Sad to give up on it
On a little overnight road trip to Hamelin Bay with daughter. After calling into yummy Margaret River Dairy Company and then to Eagles Heritage we popped back to Margs so I could grab a couple of caches there before heading a bit further south . Not too many on my list
Rechecked all workings before making way to GZ. The one spot I didn't want it to be but I managed easily than I thought
TFTC
All good with cache and replaced as found

After spending some time in the Mammoth Cave we gathered the require information and then set off for GZ. The GPSr had GZ moving about but found after searching a couple of locations.
Thanks SeabreezeOZ for the cache.

Calculated the coords then took the tour. Too windy to do the nature walk, alas. GZ was quite movable so went with cache radar and made the find. TFTC!
A quizzical look from muggle cave staff in the first part of the cache gave me leave to explain what I was doing, they were then excited to see if I could get the find.
GZ bouncing a bit on the phone I searched the likely areas and soon came up with the find.
Congrats from the staff and a little talk about caching and I was back on my way, TFTC.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the cave today, perfect rainy day activity, searching for the cache in the drizzle not so enjoyable Was a fairly quick find by one of the little blondes though. TFTC, an amazing place to visit!
This was our target cache for the day as this is the cave we wanted to see. We have been to Mammoth Cave in KY. USA. and enjoyed that tour. We liked that at this cave we could go at our own pace. Had a bit of trouble finding the cache but it turned our to be in a logical place. Our gps had us across the road. But, Maybe we made an error getting the coordinate info. Yet another fav.

After a lovely walk through the caves and collecting all of the clues we had a quick search around and found it. Thanks for bringing us here. Being avid cavers back home in Cape Town it is nice to see some differnet formations etc. TFTC Greatings from two South Africans
What a beautyful cave here and even you hear lots of intetesting things. Also the multi was very nice, it's always excitibg to learn something! Thanks !
It was a great walk through the cave and the small trail afterwards as well. During searching the final we spotted a huge huntsman spider. TFTC The Shredder and Skyryser
Cave Day! We did three caves with the cave pass. It was a great walk through the cave. During searching the final Skyryser spotted a huge huntsman spider. TFTC The-Shredder
Another cool cave and another cool multi. Thanks SeabreezeOZ. Caching with McLookers.
Tomstache and Geodad explored the caves here after we gathered the info. I relaxed and enjoyed the rest. We then made the find which was straightforward. Thanks SeabreezeOZ, great series.
Our target for today is multis to assist Tomstache in his bid to complete a Bingo Challenge in Victoria. We collected a couple of others as we cruised past. It was a stunning day and it gave us a fantastic opportunity to explore this area.

Found the required signs and gathered the information. Headed to gz to make a quick find. Thanks SeabreezeOz
FTF @ 9:15am. Having run out of time yesterday, I returned today shortly after the gates were opened to hunt down the numbers. The first placard was found quickly, but the second one took a few moments to track down. Again, I was very surprised that no-one had taken the honours on it. Quick and easy find, in an obvious spot.
