I am no longer making regular visits to this area and therefore cannot continue to maintain the cache.

Thanks for this one, first for the day.

No luck and no intention on putting my hands down into these snakey environments with my son. Even if it is winter

Nice and quiet

Fourth Find. Look low

easy find

Found with cyclone, tftc!

Found with that fearsome mud crab. Have left a lego series 24 mini fig and a lego motor bike treasures behind tftc

Tftc. Daughter was very pleased with the loot.found the pill bottle

Very cool spot

Couldn't find a pill bottle but did find a Sistema with a log book with one signature on it.
Signed the log and placed back where we found it.

TFTC mmaherinwa this is find #15107 for us.

Is this it??

I was on the road slightly further south that the chocolate factory was on. Sadly, there’d been a crash just near the corner of the highway and emergency services were attending. It involved a minibus so would have been a logistical nightmare with potential injuries (it definitely thankfully didn’t look like anything near a fatality). Crews were blocking the road and rerouting all traffic. As a result, I ended up on the road near this cache so I detoured off the main road onto a side road that lead to a handy parking type area. Thanks for the hide.

Took a bit of searching but found it signed log and replaced TFTC

Had a good long look but siding area is very overgrown and it’s potentially a bit snakey this time of year, so no luck today

Not easy to find at all.

Enjoying a week in Eagle Bay with my Dad. Beautiful part of the south. Thanks to the COs for placing these caches and adding to my week away.

Happy to add another smiley to my day. Pretty flowers out - who says weeds aren’t beautiful!

Found by Sarah and Sunnie 11/9/22! Our first geocache find beautiful area, lots of mosquito’s though, be careful! We accidentally ripped the log bag when we opened it so sealed up the pill bottle with some electrical tape, sorry! Great cache, thank you

Very wet

What a lovely area! Geodaughter Redrobbin25 soon had this in hand. Tftc

What a magical place! Found with teamlaroche! Thanks for the cache

G’day mmaherinwa, unfortunately I wasn’t able to find your cache today (Saturday 6/8/2022). Cheers for the hunt anyway!

Today TaurusSix and I both took an early mark from work, mid afternoon, so we could make the most of the weekend we had planned in Margaret River . We set off wanting to get there before dark therefore setting ourselves only a few geocaching stops on the way through. The weather stayed onside it was mild and overcast.

This was our second cache find of the afternoon. We took the detour from the main road for this one . Once up the side road we were surprised how many cars were around . Nice stroll to gz it is always amazing where you can spot old railroad sidings. Cache quickly found logged and replaced. TFTC

I love these sidings! Such a cool spot, hidden in plain sight with lots of history. Thanks for the geocache!

Nice nice nice. Tftc

Yes another go and we had in had tftc

With a week away from work we decided to head off on a road trip for a few of those days. We were heading for Donnybrook, Yallingup and Margaret River to soak in the sights and grab a few caches along the way. This cache was one that we found on day 4 of our break away! Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there mmaherinwa, I was in this area today and found your cache Metricup Siding GC61FKA. Our name was added to the log book at 7:40 am on 9 March 2022. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

We took up Geocaching on 3 March 2013 and this cache brings our total find count to - 13166.

Once we spotted the siding soon had cache in hand.

Found it! Super hot day. Thank you.

An interesting an hidden location. We found the easy way into the cache on the way out.
Definitely a winter cache.

Found it !

Gotcha

TFTC , cool spot

Easy find. Beautiful spot just after rain. Heaps of frogs and mozzies

Good spot thanks

A little bit of rough terrain otherwise it’s I. The open

Working in Metricup with muggle

Nice quick find with the crew. Found a couple of angry millipedes too! TFTC

Drove almost to GZ. Frogs were chirping, rain was falling and the cache was found.

TFTC mmaherinwa

Found! Watch out for the centipedes nearby!

With cmb212, phillario, probsty morgo the geo and sandy of the sea.

What a pretty spot in the rain!TFTC

Tftc Found with the gang.

Kids loved the exploration, fun times definitely worth the effort

Might have to come back and try again

Great spot

Came down for a camping trip in Margaret river and looked at some other ones and did not have that much luck but will try again later

Found it took us a while but found it

Tricky, but Fun!

Had a good poke around the GZ but I was unable to locate any obvious housing spots. This may have been too well camouflaged for me today.

Took us a while. Obviously the built up mound of earth is historical but couldn't find out what it is? Very concerned about snakes in this area!!!!

Watch out for snakes

Yay! Our first geocache!

TFTC it was a nice area.
It has been pegged!
The log was wet.

Thankfully a quick find given it was lightly raining, thanks

Tough find but good!

We’ve been in Margaret River for a few days - one of my favourite parts of the whole world!
On our way back home today, so we thought we’d stop to find some caches as we’ve not been able to find any for a long time now due to health and work, but life has slowed down for us both.
This cache took us a little while to find. I wore a poor choice of footwear today, but Dave read a log mentioning an elevated position to assist with a better angle and I pointed out the potential hiding place from below. Took us a good 20 minutes or so. We also left a TB for someone else to take further on its journey.
TFTC #699

Nearly gave up. Wide. The search and results will come. Very visible

??

Found it

It's still there no need for hands & knees. TFTC

Love these historical locations, but alas not the hide! Too much hands and knees searching for me. TFTH.

Nice stroll through the bush. SL TFTC

Great bit of history, thanks

Tftc

Scared of snakes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
Having some fun and chillaxing in the beautiful SouWest. Another siding with no bike path but some good history.
Thanks for the hide and

Second day exploring the area, and last one of the day. We were a bit weary of the approach but got there, and found the cache. TFTC!

Found it. TFTC mmaherinwa. Not much left of metracup siding now

pug002 found it 15/1/2019 on our trip to Cow Town for square dancing. TFTC mmaherinwa

Great cache and good to teach kids about local history

Hot day. Lovely WA Xmas trees

After having a fabulous time at WAGB 2018 event over the weekend we decided that a trip to Margaret River for the day was in order. We had great fun both caching and enjoying the various attractions of the area and doing our bit to help the local economy.

The grass was very long here and we thought "Oh Bugger" when we saw where the GPSr was pointing. It took a little while for the GPS to settle so we expanded our search and looked in logical spots and not too long after maccamob came up with the goods and our name were added to the log.

Thanks once more for the cache mmaherinwa.

Found by Mary & David, in company with Mrs Crackers, at 0940. Hard to imagine that this was once a busy place. So overgrown now, but hints of wildflower colour and Watsonia weeds. Our thanks to mmaherinwa.

Quickly tryed to look since it said it was an easy one but DNF tyftc!

Definitely wouldn't want to do this one in summer! Nice little walk and quick find for geokid. Thank you

Firstly, apologies for the lateness in logging.
Despite my tardiness, you can be assured I enjoyed each and every cache found and not found.
Apologies if this is a generic log, my memory is good, but not that good.

This was found on a great trip to WA from Vic

Thanks

a challenge searching in the over grown siding TFTC TNLN

Found it but had to dodge the kangaroos

Spent ages searching here but couldn't find the cache

Great bit of history about the area. Took family to find their first Australian geocache

My first geocaching experience in Australia. We’re staying so close that we decided to walk. Thanx for the find.

Rustling in the bushes, wildflowers in the air, birds in the trees. Spring is here! A quick find. Tftc

Tricky and snakey! Not recommended for summer time!!

Weather not good will try again

Found thanks to an earlier log and turned a previous DNF into a smiley

Persistence in looking in what seemed to be and was the most likely hide

Very desolate up here and I could hear rustlings in the bushes but found eventually. Lost my pen here too so took photo, hope that's ok.
