sorry have to archive

Grader has been working on the road and pushed a lot of rocks onto GZ.

May need attention as grader has been along

I needed a few more than several finds today and I spotted this trail of caches. Exactly what I need. The drive in was fascinating with all the different Santas lining the road. I turned onto the road and only saw a few cars from then on.

With so many options I thought I was going to be here for a while, but no. Spotted it after only a minute.

We were in our way south for a fun weekend at Karri Valley and my muggle husband agreed to stop and let me do some caches along this road.
Our success was mediocre really, particularly when I thought they were going to be simple. I think the relatively recent grading of the road has created a few (dozen) more possible hiding spots which made it more of a challenge and tested my patience.
If it wasn’t found after a 5-10min search we moved on. There are, after all, many more caches along this road.
Thanks for the hide S'n'N

3 from 3, going well

Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces today.

The main aim was to get another oldie however with and early rise there was enough time To detour. Great to see the continuation of the heading south series now being published and also great to see some of the back roads and great bush lands.

Thanks S'n'N for placing and maintaining this cache, it was a great day out with a couple dozen finds, TFTH

Out and about with Kapelula ICNothing and geotrakka (KAMEINGT) on our caching trip.
On our forth day today, this is another smiley... Thank you

Finally our girls weekend has arrived Kapelula, Meme28, Geotrekka and I C Nothing are heading south with four full days of caching to celebrate some birthdays and geo milestones. We have been puzzling like crazy in preparation so our aim is to find those caches and everything else that takes our fancy. Maybe even a challenge or two. Signed log as Kameingt.

Nice quick find here.

Found whilst out on an extended weekend road trip to Busselton, Dunsborough and surrounds with I C Nothing, Meme28 and geotrakka. Signed log as KAMEINGT.

Away on a girls weekend to Bussleton with ICnothing, Kapelula and meme28. Hoping to hit some milestones during our adventures. Signing as a team this weekend KAMEINGT. Thank you to all the COs for placing their caches along the way for is to enjoy.

Circled around this one before Lndnlad honed in. Tftc

Getting my on the prize now and in the groove. Log signed and cache put back in place. Thanks

I crushed my leg

Also moist but not as bad as the last. Cool rocks

Briver5057 found cache all complete, nice hiding spot

Good hide

Just up the road from the one. We are doing this trail of close caches , need to find 35more so we can get a souvenir TFTC

Moved to Busso. Awaiting school hols to catch up with the family. Of course in the meantime we had to tackle a few caches or 3.

Found at 12:18pm on our wedding anniversay cache-a-thon.

S'n'N this is my 69th cache of 82 finds of the day and brings my total find count to 1,112. The container is in good condition. SLTFTC.

I found the cache in good condition. SL TFTH S'n'N.

Kids found the Holden trail fun and easy to find. We had a great day!

This was the second section of caches of interest for the morning that we found with ilook4geo. The run was mostly successful, but a few caches did not want to be disturbed and stayed hidden. If they did not appear within a limited time, we simply moved on. This one was part of the successful haul for the day. Thanks go to S'n'N for this cache placement.

This was a different part of our caching program for today while out with goingplaces2. We made a good effort and found most of the caches we looked for and only missed a few. This one was a success and we enjoyed finding it. TFTC.

Quick found together with Struep today

Thanks,
Schnex

Found this one together with Schnex on our little Holden Trail tour. Quick found.
Thanx

Suscoe headed out early to take on this Holden trail.
A lovely day with sun and a little breeze at times.
Sunday is the day to do this, no logging trucks and minimal other vehicles, some slowed down and other raced past,
A fitting day as it was the Bathurst race day.
Cache found.
Thanks to S'n'N for this trail..

Thank you for creating this series. We used to own a Holden Shuttle van back in the 80s The wild flowers are stunning this time of year! TFTC!

A great series that nearly killed me. A mountain bike was not the correct choice when your not fit. A very recent burn off had me covered in ash and carbon but worth the sweat. Sorry for the generic logs. TFTC.

loving this series

We had planned to do this series and on the drive down realised the coincidental significance of our timing as yesterday the last Holden came off the production line here in Australia.
We spent a pleasant 5 hours hunting down this series. Sadly a fire has been through part of the bush in the last month or so. As well as the damage done to the bush unfortunately some of caches appear to been lost.
We finished the series with 75 finds, 5 dnfs (possibly lost in the fire), 1 dnf (due to cachers blindness) and 3 did not attempts (after reading previous dnfs)
TFTC S'n'N this is find # 3387 for us.

Been a great time caching thanks

Justjessie and I were heading south to do some of the WAGB arrow we detoured via the Holden trail. All was going well and we were enjoying the wild flower until we got to Jackaroo Series 1 where there has been a controlled burn all the way though to Vectra JR. Personally I am a Ford man so the thought of some Holdens burning to the ground initially did bring a small smile to my face, but I do feel sorry for the CO as he has some work to do to repair the series. TFTC.

Found with O319 on our trip to WA. TFTC!

Found it. Loved the series. TFTC SL

Talked themongrel into starting this series, I was hoping to get it all done, but he had other ideas that included beer. So at least we made a start. Found 26 out of 27 caches today, Thankyou for placing and maintaining the caches. tftc

Jen, Tis and myself on the Holden. Tftc

Finally got around to doing this great series with dimor. We left home at 7 and got back about 4.30. It was a long and fun day Spotted some red tailed black cockatoos and some pretty white orchids. TFTC

This month is all about me getting 300+ finds so naturally this series has been on my list for when I decided to get this goal.
Today Rach2 and I set out early to grab the whole series in one go. Unfortunately two dnfs occurred .
I drove and Rach did the finding with help from me here and there when needed. Most were easy finds in a couple of minutes with only a few taking a little longer

A glorious day to be out on the hunt with the only reptile seen was a baby bobtail and plenty of red tailed blacks entertaining us with their screeching. Felt like peakhour traffic along here, plenty going passed

Thank you for the caches, it would have been a mammoth effort doing them all

We had a great day out. Will give a fav point for the series on the last cache

Sorry for the generic log, too many to do individual logs.

**We did some maintenance along the way with drying out caches and replacing
logs and bags where needed

Apologies for the generic write-up.
Decided to start the Holden series today after thinking we should for a long time. Mid arvo at the end of May doesn't leave much time, so after 52km arrived at the first target.
As with all, this one in good condition, signed log and TNLN.
Highest respect for S'n'N for this mighty task, Our only regret is that we hadn't committed more to the "offline list".
Oh well, more next time.

On the road to Bunbury and after a perfect weekend in Nannup for the music festival a good challenge for us : « 60 Years of Holden ».
The first time for us with a serie as long. We started at 10:45 AM and finished at 15:45 PM
It was very funny. Gaga as driver and Coco as a Monkey to jump for the cache !
Found : 83 // DNF : 1
Out : 2 TB // In : 1 TB (in cache Camira JD)

Thank’s for this serie

One last quick find cant help myself tftc

Hi there S'n'N.

We found your cache **"Astra LC"** at 9:58:00 AM today. This was our 5th cache find today & this one brings our total find count to 15297.

Today's cache run today was primarily to complete the "60 Years of Holden" series, plus a few others that we passed along our route..

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

At the end of the day we found 87 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** Some were where we thought they were & there were many we had to search around for a little while.
**Cache Condition:** Nearly all containers and log books were in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge if the cache was big enough.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards
Ian & Penny.

Last week I completed the top half of the Holden series solo. Today I had geokid with me to attempt the bottom half. I wrote the logs while she looked after the swaps. Thanks S’n’N for the series.

On a caching adventure around Australia with CAD - home is Darwin... Decided to tackle some of the Holden series on a lovely sunny day ... Great series with good hints! Thanks S'n'N

Undertook this trail with Doodle Bug Oz on a sunny Tuesday TFTC 5th

Enjoying a holiday in Perth with tmann421 and collecting a few caches along the way.
We really enjoyed this well maintained series. A lovely part of the country as well with a great mix of hides. Thanks for all the caches, the series and all the fun. We even managed to collect a pathtag each from you as well!

Thanks S'n'N for a great trail of caches.
Just-Lookin & I enjoyed the drive through the area finding the fun containers.

We appreciate your setting the trail up and the recent maintenance to keep them in good condition.
Also pleased to find your Pathtag along the way.

Found this one then onto the next!

Tyftc cant wait to finish the series

Tftc. Quick find with camisa080.

We braved the water and the rain to pick up just a few of the Holden series before the drizzle got the best of us !
We had a great time out on the cache hunt today ! Thanks for the series.

All caches were found dry and safe.

Fernweh* and nick

In June 2016 we attended the WA goes big event and found a lot of wonderful caches over the weeks of our visit, Shelby loved WA and she would have moved there in seconds and the plan was to visit every year.
We logged a lot of caches and at times we just noted in a book caches and sometimes they were added to GSAK for later logging as well.
In late 2019 Shelby the other half of the Coffee’s passed away suddenly and I have been slowly working through her notes, other cacher notes and finding caches that have not been logged in GSAK.
It turns out this series was overlooked and today I am logging this series one by one as I have no clue on how to log bulk in GSAK as I was only the driver..lol
We completed this series with the group name CAMM being Coffee’s, Alansee, Maccamob and Micaparamedic.
My thanks to S’nN’ for the cache and series it was a great time with friends and it was memories I will treasure as some of the best times caching.

Regards

The Coffee’s

Catching up with some late logs, therefore this unfortunately is going to be one of 'those logs'. I apologize in advance for the generic log, A combination of limited time and too many to log dictates that a generic log is best. I have enjoyed the hunt and being outdoors in this great country of ours, partaking in a pastime that I thoroughly enjoy. I usually head out by myself, but I thank those that have had the misfortune of my company in some of these ventures.

Thanks S'n'N for placing this cache.

Found on a fun morning caching with Maccamob, Micaparamedic and The Coffees. All in all a good series with good coords and we onyh had 4 DNF's. The one bad point is that a number of the hints are simply wrong. They could do with a re-visit.Many thanks to S'n'N for the information and caches.

Found by Mary & David, in convoy with The Coffees, Alansee and micaparamedic (logged as CAMM) at 1226. Our thanks to S'n'N.

what a great day out geocaching with family & friends

Had a great time finding the Holden series. Most were reasonably easy although a few of the clues were a bit misleading.

Found on a day out with m-i-bovurd. 5th of 10! Tftc

Found it TFTC.

I was only five or six caches into the trail of Holdens,
and the road was annoying me
Sure !! It might only be 200 to 300 metres or so between caches,
but with each short drive the speed had to be kept to below 15km/h !! [:o]
Any faster and the contents of the car began to shake themselves to pieces !!

I really needed to be speeding along at over 60km/h on this road to smooth out the bumps

TFTC.

pug002 found it 28/3/2016 0n a trip south to Boyup with square dancing club. Decided we needed to do this series. Frustrating at times, easy at others, but we enjoyed it and appreciate your effort S'n'N'. TFTC. It was great meeting fellow caches on the way and chatting to them thanks to one lot who left car track so made stopping easier and closer to GZ.

Nice to have the sun out today, a bit different to the weather we had on saturday! It meant we could take geo-baby along with us, and she's being powerwalked by her mother along the road. Thanks for making a series where this is possible..although the report did come back that pushing a pram along the gravel road did make for a good workout!!

Headed down south for the Easter long weekend and some geocaching with marlsj & muskcat83. We completed the arrow series on a wet Saturday, but the weather was a lot more favourable today so we headed out hoping to complete the Holden series and 16 more. Didn’t quite make it (only managed 88 before we were too tired to continue), but it was a great day out and we managed to find all the Holden series hides. Thanks for the effort that went into the hides and the series! Especially loved the character hides. Some of the hints were a little confusing and left us stumped (literally!), but overall most were quick and easy finds.

Found as a team effort with JansseJ & MarlsJ. We have done the Arrow series and the Holden series and a few more in the area. Did not quite get our 100 today. The bodies were just too tired. Thanks for the series and cache. Some hints had us second guessing because when it said log, it should have said stump and visa versa, but that just made the day interesting.

Originally logged under family name of clan-wallace now slowly transitioning to new name

Out over Easter with Clan Wallace, Webbly WA and m4yb to complete this series.
A fun day was had by all!

Thanks S'n'N

What an epic day was had, along with Clan Wallace, megawat60 and Webbly WA. We all cooperated in achieving a perfect score minus one, despite the rain which was heavy at times. and the variety of caches kept us on our toes. Thanks for this cache and this series S'n'N, most of us did not know so many models of the Holden was made.

All of our well layed plans came to fruition today, even the weather did not dampen our Spirits. 4 different teams headed to the area on 3 different days for a rendezvous at Commodore VL. In order to save space on the smaller logs (not because we are lazy) we combined the teams to CMMW for clan-Wallace, M4YB, Megawat60 & WebblyWA. We went into action like a finely tuned Holden & reached Apollo JK after only one small splutter. Exhausted but triumphant! Thank you for the series S'n'N. For which I will sprinkle a few random favourites.
