Unfortunately... this is what I discovered. Will contact owners or can replace if needed?
The container was overflowing with water. I’ve placed it upside down since the lid is broken. Fantastic view. Thanks.
Continuing our cache hunt north of Jurien on our way to the Murchison for Easter, happy to say we walked away with a smiley today, both on our faces and our profile, we grabbed a TB to move along TFTC
Owner may need to check coordinates as there is a comment saying it is approx 10m from coordinates and has not been found recently
Out on IGD in Geraldton for the 3rd year in a row with Barnzy12.
We started the morning a little late compared to a usual geocaching weekend however we did only get into town at midnight so a 8.30 start was early enough!!
The morning started with a extremely poor Find rate at around 40% found. We then headed to the Event and enjoyed a pub lunch and a pint of beer and that would see the luck turn there after.
After the event we headed off with Team Ruphace Matthew and Cathy finding around 20 caches with them.
The highlight was following the lead of reticbob and getting the caches in Moresby Range, going through private land that offered sensational views.
Overall a great day out in Gero, looking forward to seeing some of you again soon at WA Goes Big in Rockingham on the 9th September

TFTH Returning to Perth after visiting family for a few days. Made hard work of finding this but needed a larger cache to place a TB that I had with me! Thank you for placing a decent sized cache here. Gorgeous view on a clear day. Now home to Perth.
Stopped at this cache whilst on a roadtrip with Eliktrisiti. We didn't find as many caches in the Geraldton area as we had hoped for, and after being home for a week or so, I have decided that the motto I would adopt for these logs would be this: It isn't the destination that is important, it is the journey!
In a nutshell, we had fun and that is what it is all about. Great company, lots of interesting locations, good variety of caches, even got to meet one of the local geocachers while out and about, and of course, we came home with a whole swag of smileys.
This cache was found on the second day. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Ruben. kylie & Beckmonts and for showing us around the Greenough/Geraldton area.

Ian and Prnnys hint helped me to widen my search area. Took a tb. Needs an update on coords but a good geo sense will take you to it too
Not having a good day. Even with help we had no luck. Oh well time has run out so time to hit the road again.
Hi there Ruben. kylie.
We found your cache **"A View to See-well"** at 1:34:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 14336.
Our 6th day in Geraldton, and there are still a few unexplored areas to look into. The town itself is to be congratulated on all the interesting things visitors can see and do - - and then there's Geocaching as well.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the area today. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many wonderful caches in interesting places.
###Thanks for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. Once upon a time caches seemed to be "regular" sized,and well stocked with goodies for kids to swap. Nowadays it seems like every other cache is small and devoid anything to induce children to enjoy the hunt. It made us feel really good to find this cache in a "special" place.###
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 10 metres from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.
Today I was lucky enough to be out and about with some of those friends and we targeted this cache.
Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!
Thanks Ruben. kylie (F=225 H=1) for placing this cache.

Found with micaparamedic. After having had a hard time with micros and no hints we were having a better time of it along here. It didn't last but many thanks to those who put out caches that are meant to be found.
Found by Mary & David at 1335. Found the empty container easily enough. Added a piece of paper as a temporary log. Even more wildflowers here. Our thanks to Ruben. kylie.
I rode the bike up the hill in pursuit of caches
Good views along this stretch of suburban streetscape too [^]
The view of the cache when I found it wasn't so good !! [:o]
Muggles or the council's slasher got this one !!!
I'm not sure which ??
The container is fine !!
It was found lying opened in the bushes.
Inside was a bit of water and nothing else !!
Scattered around were a few swaps, but no sign of the logbook !!
Yet amongst all the carnage,
a miracle !! [:o]
The travel bug ... "Picky Tag" ... was sitting there unharmed ready for me to take with me
I stuck a bit of timber in the box with me name and date on it.
And collected the bits and pieces of trackables.
So it is a cache again !!
Needs a new logbook though,
not just a bit of wood to sign

After signing the last cache I decided to stroll the short distance to find this one. Initially my GPS had me around 10 metres from where Ian found the cache. An obvious spot for such a wonderfully large cache.
Love the view out to the calm ocean - even though the skies are overcast it looked so tempting.
thanks Ruben, kylie & Becknmonts
Ian & Sue - Team Pathfinder uses T.P. to sign smaller logs.

Found last week on school holidays with bigTcup and Mc_ZombieSlayer... Had four little kids in tow who loved the larger cache! TFTC
A race here today with geo kids, MC_ZombieSlayer & MC_ZombieSlayers_Mum...I won! Fabulous view at this location. TFTC
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. TFTC
Found this one for a first smilie to us today. Have been geocaching with the geograndkids aka paperfreak. Picked up a geocoin and will send it on its way.
4873 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1210. Found the cache but there wasn't a log sheet in the container. We placed a log sheet into the cache and SL took TB left TB Tnx Ruben. kylie
TFTC! This cache was found on my two and a bit day GeoTrip to Geraldton and surrounds to attend the International Geocaching Day event in Greenough.
The weekend started with a nighttime drive from Perth to Geraldton getting in at 1140pm after finding a couple of caches along the way in the dark. I rose on my first day in town as grabbed supplies before some CBD caching and then some more hides in Greenough before the event. I had a nice little run after the event following the guys chasing a few of the FTFs before getting back to my planned routes to help cleanup a lot of the newly published caches since my last visit in 2013. Had a reasonable day, which went Pretty pear shaped come mid afternoon, with a large number of DNFs in the northern Geraldton suburbs. I returned to my accomodation to freshen up and watch a bit of footy before heading out again on a night time run around the CBD. Big Mistake. had one of those blind nights, where the easy finds were impossible and I resorted to PAF to help guide me on some of the simplest hides!!
I was back on the saddle the next day grabbing a bunch of caches in southern Geraldton before attending the CITO event. Grabbed a few bits of rubbish and got talking to the local COs, where were most amused by my DNFs LOL. They were gracious enough to provide a large number of hints which Ive stored in the memory bank for next year!
Thanks to all of the locals for your hospitality this weekend and I'm looking forward to attending next year! Thanks

Found while at the local CITO Event which gave me yet another Road Trip Souvenir. TFTC TNLN SL
Was going to look for this during the CITO event but some of the kids stumbled across it. Sadly dropped of the three TB's which have been with us for a while.
SL TN. Thanks Ruben. kylie, good weekend.

A night time find for us . Great views down to the port
The jinta mob decided to head north to Geraldton for the third time to celebrate International Geocaching Day! We grabbed a variety of caches along the way and this was one of them. A great weekend away and we can't wait until next year.
