Country Cache II - Greater Geraldton Greenough, Western Australia, Australia
By Barnzy12 on 16-Aug-15. Waypoint GC61KTZ

Found on the way back to Dongara from gero. The log is wet, oddly there is a cache inside the cache.

Found this on the ground without cover, tucked it back in.Tftc.

TFTC! Had to do a quick turnoff to find this one - but glad we did!

Good cache! Tftc!

Park and grab as best we can. Thanks for the cache

Found with Dozenmater, TFTC

TFTC- found with rainygirl74

Back on the road again, heading north. Dongara to Geraldton
Stopped for a couple of caches along the highway & now camped at the caravanpark for four nights
Sight seeing around town & finding a few caches & doing part of ALs
A variety of caches found today in some very interesting locations.
Thankyou to the CO's for hiding this cache

Quick find heading in the opposite direction to Freddo

Brad and Janet are on another epic journey.
This time it involves many of Len Beadell’s 6500km of roads including the Anne Beadell, the Connie Sur, the Heather, the Neale, the Gun Barrel Highway, the Gary, the Talawana Track, the Gary Junction Rd and more.
And of course a 2 day visit to Maralinga which Len also located, surveyed and largely built as he had with Woomera and Emu. An amazing man.
If you don’t know of him he wrote some wonderful books. Laconic with a dry sense of wit, they are an excellent read. They are also available as audiobooks as is a recording of his brilliant after dinner talk one evening in Shepparton. Worth a listen.
And now the Moon Tours trip is over we are heading back to Adelaide via whichever way takes our fancy after a few days rest and repair in Karratha. Almost certainly down the WA Coast before heading to Hyden and the land of the Salmon Gums.

Quick find here.

Heading north for one mintue of moon shadow. This is one of stops on a long journey.

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

SA’s Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Can’t wait!!

A nice quick find. We’re trying to pick up all of the caches on the left side of the road as we head from Gero to Dongara today. TFTC

Tftc. Had a couple of dnfs so glad to be back in the game. Nice and easy.

Over the years I have always noticed the limo parked in the shed. Someone seriously needs to do it up
Cache was opposite the shed the limo lives in and a very easy find. TFTC

As has been mentioned in logs for some months, the cache is breaking down. The lid has a large hole. So rather than continue to led this break down into hard to gather up brittle bits of plastic and micro plastic, I took the present cache to dispose of and left a replacement temporary cache, until the CO does their thing and replaces it. It's now a small; a Metamucil plastic container.
TFTC Barnzy12.

Another quick find on our route up north.

Another cache on the way from Port Denison to Geraldton. The lid is broken but the log is dry.

After staying with friends in Nanson for a few weeks the time had come to start heading home again but not without stopping and grabb9ing a few caches along the way.


We really enjoy visiting this part of WA, not just because we have friends in the area but the countryside is so pleasant to drive through with such dramatic changes as the seasons change so it's a great idea to put caches out to get people out having a look.
We enjoyed this quick stop where a good sized cache was located and our name has been added to the log and everything returned as it was.

Many thanks for the cache we will look for the others next visit.

5.44pm
Visiting Perth from Brisbane to catch up with hubby who is working over here. Today I drove to Geraldton after dropping hubby off at the worksite in Dongara.
Now we are finding a few caches I missed on my way. Passed this one on our way north and now heading south stopped to look for it. Made the find and container was upside down as lid is cracked. SL then returned as found.

Found on 1 July 2022. TFTC, Barnzy12.

A quick find here with Deefa71 on a 450km drive collecting LGAs. Damn those flies though! Cache lid has perished and cracked, will need to be replaced before the winter rains. Tftc

I’m still trying to get the cache up on my screen and familysteiner is already signing it. Tftc.

TFTC

Caching our way back to Perth from Geraldton. This was one of the caches we stopped at.

Cache container was cracked, so put a new inner container inside. Cheers Barnzy12!

Thank you! On a road trip to Exmouth and back. Happy to find the cache here.

Got it! Left a gift

Heading back home from a camping trip up in Geraldton, and took a diversion out to Ellendale Pool for lunch on the way. Back on the highway and I had a trio of caches to stop off at and break up the journey. This was one of them. Pulled the car over and made a nice quick find. Saw what looks like an old church nearby as well but when I drove round to it there were private property signs Will have to do some detective work on that No problems here today - TFTC

Up at the Farm for Xmas - its been a scorcher! Today its only 35 so Im happy to get out and grab some smilies while Im up. Still sporting a broken arm but cast is off which gives me a bit more movement solo caching. Thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining these caches.
Thanks B12 all in good order here

Hi there Barnzy12. While out on the road today we found this cache after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to Barnzy12 for this cache - our find 7900

Stopped to grab this one on our way home. With lots of traffic at 80kph following a caravan, it was a welcome stop. TFTH!

Stopped here to look at the classic old cars across the road. A nice hide and easy to find tftc

Enjoying our trip in the west. Now heading south towards Albany.

Thank you
Good find

Today our tour - which began in Perth, WA , and led us thru Western, Northern and Southern Australia back to Perth, was from Jurien Bay to Geraldton
.

On the way we came to some interesting locations. Here we searched, found and logged this Tradi-Cache.

Weather was good in the morning and it should even get better during the day.

Thanks to 'Barnzy12' for showing us this location and for the fun we had with 'Country Cache II - Greater Geraldton'. The search here and today didn't take too much time, fortunately.

Greetings from Germany and we hope to see you soon in the forest.

A quick park and grab.
TFTC Barnzy12 this is find # 7496 for us.

Found it. TFTC Barnzy12. Thanks for making me stop here, I was trying to identify the cars but maybe I’m not old enough to get all of them.

TFTC nice easy find. Picked up TB

Found on my way home today. This geo ticks another LGA off the list for me. TFTC

Hi there Barnzy12.

We found your cache **"Country Cache II - Greater Geraldton"** at 10:27:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 22663).

We are staying in Geraldton for a few days, and when it is not raining we venture out to cache and tour the local area. We started our caching run by nominating a cache quite a way from our camp site and then took a route that was sometimes determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our interesting trek around the local area

We ended up finding a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route. (5 finds today & 0 DNF's). Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic travels around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge
**Dropped Trackable:** "Relay For Life Tag".
It's time for this trackable to rest a while before continuing on its next journey. rl4f2n

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Easy find. TFTC

Driving from Perth to my home town in Kununurra, I decide to do some caching while on highway. Found it easy. TFTH.

A nice quick find on my day out and about! TFTC
a beautiful day for a drive!

Quick find this avo TFTC

Quick find on our way past heading south. Thanks Barnzy12 for placing cache for our enjoyment.
Left TB to continue its journey.

After staying for a week and a half in Geraldton (the longest time we have spent anywhere since leaving home in April) we have moved on today. Dongera for one night on our slow progress back to Victoria. We did lots of great things in Geraldton, the wildflowers are fantastic, we always loved visiting the HMAS Sydney Memorial (beautiful and moving) and as usual at this time of the year the wildflowers and weather have both been fantastic. A bonus was the number of caches we found. Heaps had been placed since our last visit 4 years ago, so many we haven't found them all! The icing on the cake was yesterdays event and the four FTF's we managed to pick up.
Love it when the D/T ratings are spot on. A simple straightforward find in a logical spot.

Found it all is good with the cache on a road trip from Tassie TFTC

A quick find the farmer was feeding his animals

Tftc

On our way up to the Murchison for Easter we decided to continue our cache hunt north of Jurien, happy to say we walked away with a smiley today, both on our faces and our profile TFTC

On our way to Geraldton we stoped here for this cache. Tftc

Pulled up only to see two pair of gumboots walking along in the adjacent property so was about to give it a miss. However the owners came into view and it was obvious I could still get this one signed off without them seeing me. TFTC # 11,385

A great park and grab. Tftc

Easy

Took a day trip to check out the historical region of Greenough and to get a cache or 2 on the way

Up north.

Checking Some caches.

This was one

Thx

My first cache in WA. TFTC.

Since son is home on his work break to house/dog sit and we got the rare go ahead to go away so it looks like another mini geo road trip it is
Let Home at 5.15am this morning which wasn't too bad tho didn't think muggle had it in him

TFTC Barnzy

All good with cache and replaced as found

Headed off early this morning, trying to beat the early peak hour madness on the Kwinana Freeway. Who would have thought that it would be bumper to bumper, stop/start, all the way from south of Anketell right through Cockburn Central to Berrigan Drive at 6.15 in the morning? Crazy! Lots us people must be wetting their beds or something, lol.

Anyway, the plan was to pick up Eliktrisiti in Malaga and head northwards for a bit of a roadtrip. A little backtracking had to be done to pick up a recently solved ~Tango~ puzzle, then it was time to hit the road. Went up the Brand Highway for a change, zigzagging backwards and forwards as we continued northwards to Dongara and then Greenough to where we were staying. Grand adventure it was too.

By the time we got to this one, we were just about cached out. So many miles put behind us and some many great hides along the way. But we weren't about to leave this one behind as we headed to our airb'n'b accommodation at Greenough South. No problems finding this one so late in the day. Thanks for giving a reason to stop Barnzy12

No luck

Wir sind zum ersten Mal in Australien unterwegs und sammeln gern mal die eine oder andere Dose, wie auch diese hier. Danke sagen wir allen Ownern für das Herführen und Pflegen.

Nice find on our trip to Bali

Quick dash n cache on the way back from Dongara. TFTC

Stopped to grab this on the way to Geraldton after a wonderful day walking round the River estuary at Dongara, where I failed to find any GZs at all. Duh But - oh joy, in this one there was a TB which I shall take back to the north of England in 3 weeks time

On our way to the Pinnacles ... Soon had cache in hand - very excited to find a couple of path tags in cache - left a DBOz path tag T4TC:)

On our trip around Australia we stoped here to grab the Cache.
Thank's to show us this place.

Greetings from Switzerland.

Tftc. Took trackable

Last time we were in Australia and spend our holiday in the western part of the country – that was fantastic!
We landed in Perth and from this great town we went to the east and the north – we were on the Wave Rock, in Kalgoorlie, in Nambung Nationalpark, on the Hutt Lagoon, in Kalbarri NP and on the Shark Bay.
All the time we visited there the main attractions – but we wanted to do our hobby (geocaching), too.
So we looked for the boxes next to the highways and on all the wonderful places during our tour.
Here we could found the box very well, we say thanks to the owner and thanks for the cache.
