Thanks

Easy find thanks

Tftc

Found it. TFTC S'n'N. Happy to make a find here. Back to this series to try to finish something I started about 4 years ago. Replaced as found.

Decided to tackle this powertrail after leaving Donnybrook and heading towards Nannup. It was a mix of 24 finds, 9 DNFs and 4 DNS's (Did Not Search due to too many recent DNFs). Had a fun morning, thankfully saw no wiggly-sticks in our rummaging through the piles of leaf litter.Most of the containers seem to be "holden" up well for a 9 year old series More like in/on stump...not near on this one.Thank you S'n'N for placing Epica EP for us and others to find and enjoy.

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.

This cache was exactly as I was expecting.

Upset the ants on this one

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

All good here... TFTC

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.

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.

About time...so much recent grading along here that many caches just aren’t there anymore. Nice to get one again. Must be frustrating for the owner of this series after so much effort has gone into placing them all. Thanks

Found safe and sound. Tftc

I bet the next ones near a log or stump

I bet the next one is DNF

Briver5057: another quick and easy find!

Quick find but compass was out by 1s

Back to compleye another sectoon of this Holden cache trail. Thankyou for making this trail S&N

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.

TFTC

Found at 1:39pm during our anniversary cache-a-thon

S'n'N this is my 56th cache of 82 finds of the day and brings my total find count to 1,099. The container is in good condition. SLTFTC.

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

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.

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..

Found with Graceplusthree

Tftc!

Easy find. Must admit I am not familiar with this model at all. TFTC.

Headed out early with Neva2old to attack the Holden series and a few along the way, happy to say we came up trumps here and walked away with a smilie TFTC

Nice find

Beware of the ants.

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.

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 # 3400 for us.

Log book damp but ok 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

The red tails weren't happy with our visit here and were very vocal! 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. 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 again for a generic response.
Day 2 of our Holden run. Really pleasant way to spend a fine Sunday arvo. All cache locations agree with our thing and with a couple of exceptions, all in good order.
TNLN at all of them. Maybe another two days out and we will have completed the circuit.
Great series and a credit to S'n'N

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

Hi there S'n'N.

We found your cache **"Epica EP"** at 10:43:00 AM today. This was our 19th cache find today & this one brings our total find count to 15311.

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 ... Enjoying this Great series Thanks S'n'N

Undertook this trail with Doodle Bug Oz on a sunny Tuesday TFTC 18th

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!

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 1157. Our thanks to S'n'N.

Yay

Found on the 28th of last month have been busy so have a back log of logging to do thanks for the great find!!! Thanks for the great two days caching

TFTC easy one also

found another one

Had a great time finding the Holden series. Most were reasonably easy although a few of the clues were a bit misleading.
TFTC S'n'N

So, am I alone in having never heard of this model ??

Turns out that it was an import, and Holden in its *Dae* couldn't *Woo* the Aussies over with this car

The cache was an easy find though [^]

TFTC and more ho hum Holden history

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.

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.

quick find in the bush.

Tftc

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.

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.

My plan: To collect at least 100 caches today and celebrate my 100th day of caching in a row. With 12 stop over caches on the way down this makes number 80 for today. Teamed up for a Holden adventure with Clan Wallace, M4YB and Megawat60. Not quite 100% found with one DNF sadly that will make me return to this lovely trail one day, hopefully. The rain may of dampened our clothes but it certainly didn't dampen our spirit and sense of team work. Was good to see a variety of caches and most were easy finds, with a few favs along the way. We reached the end a few hours later. TFTC and great series S 'n' N.

Had this little series planned for a while so we met up with the brother in law (Roma308) in Donnybrook who came up from Manjimup and also brought his nephew. Was a fantastic series, really enjoyed finding them especially because we took the quad bikes and left the cars behind which was so much more fun!
We found all of them very quickly and very easily, except for one which didn't seem to be there. Fantastic way to spend a Saturday and loved the couple crafty hides. Tftc sl tnln

Met up with my brother and his fiancee (Jackylegs44) and my brother's son for a day out caching to complete the Holden Series. Lots of fun! Tftc sl tnln

A quick find for this cache. Thanks to S'n'N for the cache.

Quick little session on the way home from working in area to nail a few more of the Holden Serires. Thanks S'n'N

We (myself and dad, SVKR_WA) are staying in Binningup with tye objective of completing the Holden series. Didn't have a good start, GPS batteries were dead, luckily we brought the charging cord and we charged it in the car. The cache itself was a quick find and in good condition.

Sorry for the generic logs
