No luck for us here, we wonder if the fire has taken it.

Fire

Sadly not found after ten minutes in ten metre radius.

Found with allykat2892 on a lovely arvo 21.10.21. Some ripper orchids to boot.

Found with Sharknsparkle. I have never been to this cave before but I will definitely come back

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.

Great cave. Tftc ltf

Cool little puzzle. Geocache is missing a Pen/Pencil so bring your own. TYFTC.

Phew found it and signed the log as everlasting. Thanks... the weather getting warm... ‍‍

Only people here. Area to ourselves and located info and cache!

Gave up after National Parks ranger complained about us looking in the bush when we were just off the carpark

Hi there SeabreezeOZ.

We found your cache **"Calgardup Cave"** at 11:52:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 23736).

Touring around the Margaret River area today. We thoroughly enjoyed our drive, the walks and the scenery - even though the flies were particularly "sticky" today.. We found 4 caches & DNF'd 2.

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:** Parking can be tricky if you decide to drive to the final GZ! The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thank you SeabreezeOZ for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

A quick find.
TFTC SeabreezeOZ this is find # 8396 for us.

Wonderful to have self guided walks. Quick find despite the Checker saying no.

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

Tftc nice cave

After exploring some extreme 4x4 tracks in the area decided it was time to add this multi to our tally

Thanks for taking us here. Out today to find the local cache Bobs Secret Hollow. Parked one car here to avoid scratches. So on the way back we picked up this one.

It’s great exploring this south west corner.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful spot.

An easy find TFTC

Found it after exploring the caves

Had a great time exploring the cave after doing this multi. Took the national park rep for a walk to show him about geocaching. Very impressed by it all. Caching with The X-Trailers.
A fav point today. TFTC

Onice simple to do
Gathered required info and chatted to the staff as we did so
Earthlight myself and one staff member went off to locate the cache
All good with cache
We then spent the next few hrs exploring the cave even when they told us it should only take an hour
Enjoyed the experience

Favourite today.

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.

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.

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.

SeabreezeOZ I found your cache Calgardup Cave thanks for placing this hide for myself and others to find.

Have you logged your will attend for WAGB18? Dunsborough is where it’s all at this year check it out at GC7GXQA October 13th + 14th.

First time not so lucky but we had a wrong digit and easy find after that

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.

Back with the car, we passed this cave and find the cache.

After our fairly tough day six of the Cape to Cape track, we were taken on a private tour of this cave, then given delicious soup and bread rolls and chocolate brownies under the stars. Add to that a cache and it was a great experience. TFTC

While a storm passed over I decided to head out and go underground. Found myself here and delved into the depths of the cave and had it all to myself. Such an excellent adventure.
And topped of with a cache. TFTC

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

A quick calculation got some good looking coords but double checked before leaving the ticket office

A quick find at GZ

TFTC

All good with cache and replaced as found

After some discussion as to which of the four famous caves around here we should visit, we got a tip to this one and of course immediately fell for the idea of exploring a cave on our own. So none of the four but Calgardup it must be! And the visit was really worth it. Despite the holiday we were the only visitors here. The final coordinates were quickly revealed after the visit to the cave.

Thanks for showing this place!

Yahoo cache found while exploring the south west tftc and thanks for the puzzle

TFTC. Was nice after 8 km hike

More curious cave staff here who gave me a hand when I was rushing and miss read one of the numbers. Easy find at final GZ, TNLNSL TFTC.

Found on a lazy Sunday arvo drive. The guy at the office immediately knew that we were geocachers when he asked if he could help and we replied that we were just after some info on the notice boards. Thanks!

Found on a drive to go and check out new camping facilities at Conto's. This is another spot were we have not been, but stopped here today, thanks to this geocache. Thank you!

Found it. Can only be accessed during the day.

Not sure about that DNF log. We gathered the info and input the coordinates. Cache was right where the coordinates took us for a quick find.

My gps and phone did not work inside the cave, I looked outside the cave but was blocked on a track by this little critter. Unfortunate to not find the cache but the views made the trip worth it, the cave was absolutely beautiful.

Today we visited the Calgardup Cave and enjoyed the darkness and cool stones! What a beautyful place and thanks for making a multi here!

Thanks SeabreezeOZ for these interesting and very doable cave caches.

Multis were our target today. But this was a bonus as we visited the caves as well. This is a very cool cave, I loved the adventure. Thanks SeabreezeOZ. Caching with McLookers. This one is a favourite for me because I loved the caves too.

Great multi but this visit was event better for us as we explored the caves too. This was a double bonus today, a multi and an amazing experience. Thanks SeabreezeOZ. I couldn't get the checker to work but my numbers must have been correct as we found the cache quickly!

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.

The cave series was on our agenda for today. A quick find at spot-on co-ords after calculating the numbers. Thanks SeabreezeOz

I must bring my daughter back here sometime as she just loves exploring caves. No time for me to be exploring caves today unfortunately. Good sized cache, thanks for bringing me here SeabreezeOZ

Visit here a lot - great to get the cache! Thanks

YEE-HAW for FTF! We've actually never been to this cave and it's been on our to do list for a while now. So before we found the cache we gathered the needed info and headed under the ground to explore. The kids loved that they got helmets and torches. Awesome cave. TFTC!
