Out with TeamBarritts getting some more smilies on Easter Monday.

Quick find once looking in the right place. Don't know if it has been moved but we will return as found.

Thanks for placing this hide for us and others to enjoy.

Full time nomads stopping in Toodyay for a while.

Headed in to Northam today to do some shopping and stocking up. Managed to grab a few caches along the way. A great variety today. Headed back to Toodyay in the drizzle, a bit of a change from the last few days of 37degrees.

TFTC. Sad history of the area. Cache not a micro.

A rusty magnet threw me off, but found it after widening the search.

TFTC

Found eventually after initially thinking the fixings meant it had gone missing.

Day 2 of WAGB22 week, and went to finish the GG Series in Northam and cleaned up the town of Northam, then cached to Toodyay and made a huge dent in that town.

Made 51 finds in total with 1 DNF today.
Cache had no log inside, I added a scrap.

Thanks to all the CO’s for placing maintaining their hides.

Quick find whilst out exploring

Teamed up with ullyssia today to find the GG series and the ALs around Northam and Toodyay, working towards qualifying for a challenge. We also looked for the AL bonus caches and a few other hides in the area that neither of us had already found, including this one. The log sheet is missing so we wrote our names in the container. Thank you for the cache Thejman82.

Thank you! Headed out for the day with papillon367 to travel around Northam and Toodyay. Happy to make the find here, though we found there was no log and we had nothing on us to use as a replacement. Recommend the next person along brings some paper with them.

Hope you will accept this as my log. Cache container there and in tack but no log. But unfortunately my knees say no coming up again

Tftc no log needs maintenance

Needs maintenance

This trail has some interesting history to it. Thanks for the journey into the past - cache found safe no need to climb the fence TFTC

Another sombre story. TFTC.

Knew we would have to make it all the way to the top but worth it. Nice set of hides along this heritage trail. Tftc.all well here

We had a trip planned for this neck of the woods in March but the ‘Rona virus put a halt to that and we have only just got around to booking some free time to get away from home. This cache was one we targeted for our two day mini-adventure, cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Thejman82, I was in this area today and found your cache Mead's Rock GC651WG. I added my name to the log book at 8:02 am on 8 October 2020. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

Climbed up and signed log. Great views.

Found

We added a new log to the container. TFTC Thejman

On our way home from a great weekend in Northam GB 2019 with Teams Bastholm & OutnAbout thought we would find some more and I’ve cracked to 200

An easy find and a great view where tftc

Was out caching on my own today after the brunch and was on my way back home and took this scenic route towards Toodyay. Thanks for this cache thejman82 which was a very quick and easy find.

Checked and all good

Geobuddy marke8183 picked me up from home at about 6am to head out to the Northam area for WAGB weekend. After registering, we teamed up with SeabreezeOZ and headed over towards Toodyay to do the Adventure Lab cache and a few others along the way. No problems finding this one. It was one of about 80 smileys for the weekend. Thanks to all the CO's who contributed to a great weekend of caching. Cheers Thejman82.

So out on another Geocaching weekender with Spatial Riq, this time off to the Northam for the 2019 WAGB. Great weekend picking up nearly 70 Caches over the two days. A great variety in the area....

No probs here, great heritage trail, thanks for bringing. us here

TFTC

It's WA Goes Big day!

After checking in to the event, The Machman and I set off to do several more geocaches around town. Quick stop for lunch then beck out for some more in Northam before heading home to Perth via Toodyay.

Quick find. Interesting history and great views of the valley. TFTC

Great spot for a cache view a bit of a view! Tftc

An easy find, great view TFTC

Hi there Thejman82.

We found your cache **"Mead's Rock"** at 2:59:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 22566).

We are staying in York before heading off to the WAGB Event in Northam. Today we started off by nominating a cache in Toodyay and then took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

We found 18 caches today & DNF'd 0. 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 12m 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.

TFTC Enjoying finding a couple of caches this afternoon.

found pn an afternoon out geoing what a great place and view

A day with Barnzy12 TFTH

Found it. TFTC Thejman82. Quick find here today

Love the view! Easy find!

nice view great spot

A day out around Northam to claim some more smilies, happy to say we came up trumps here today after a nice quick find TFTC

After exploring the Westcoast of WA we finally made it to Avon Valley. We will spend here the last 3 days of our Hollyday in Australia. Today we explored the beautiful village of York and Toodyay! We have an hotel room in York so exploring the village of York is not that hard! Tomorrow we drive to the NP of Avon Valley. Next day after we take the very long flight back to Belgium! We logged a lot of caches today! Thanks to all the co's for placing their caches!

Greetings from the far Belgium!

I had a spare day to myself and decided that I would spend it taking in the sights of Northam and surrounding areas. The weather was really hot, but the heat was punctuated with periods of heavy downpours which cooled things down quite nicely, for a moment at least. A great variety of caches were found today, totalling 19. I found it interesting learning about the history of this place from the nearby plaque. I'm glad I brought my good hiking shoes today and that the rock had dried off before I started scaling it. Great spot. TFTC Thejman82

Quick find this morning TFTC

Family holidays road trip and a beautiful day it is. The van packed with kids and goodies and a nice walk to the cache. Beautiful flowers out and even spotted an echidna crossing the road
Amazing history and all thanks to geocaching great natural lookout views

Rock climbing

TFTC found with Conor and Allison

Found quickly on my way to Northam. The container lid is missing and the log is damp. TFTC.

Exercise done for the day, off now for some park and grabs Out and about caching our way to Northam.

TFTC Thejman82 this is find # 2774 for us.

Easy find

TFTC! Had a day out caching with Cravo10 to collect some of the new Toodyay Rd caches, before exploring the Toodyay township and then continuing on our journey to Northam where we picked up a couple of caches we haven't managed to get to on recent visits including an archived cache at the information bay just outside of town which was very well found by Bristag (read the associated logs - don't think it will ever go missing again!!) after completing the majority of our chores in Northam we continued on towards wundowie where we had a couple of caches we were desperate to find wundowie wonderland, which was quite amazing when you linked what we saw in person and what was on the aerial maps on the iPhone, simply amazing. Maybe jasenjanine can organise a nice event for us all go see the masterpiece!!

Then we went and tried for the highly rated BBF the drawer field puzzle cache by jasenjanine who never disappoint with their nicely constructed caches! Won't say much on here but it's well worth a look, leave yourself an hour to get it and you only need one or two fingers, no force required. Fav point for that one!

Great day out with only a dozen ish finds, but happy to add to the stats. Thanks to the local COs

Nice day for a climb

Had to get geokid onto this one TFTF

Enjoying a holiday in Perth with tmann421 and collecting a few caches along the way.
Another great find here. TFTC

Another good find geocaching around the area with Just-Lookin.
Interesting site and enjoyed the walk up the rock
SL TFTC

Bit of an easier climb for me than the tree - tftc

Headed out with the geodaughter Redlipsandunicorns for a day of caching. Our main aim was to complete the new TborG series which we did and also managed to get 9 FTFS which was quite surprising since they came out early last night and we had to drive 75 kms to get them. We found a good variety of containers today with a few that took a bit of searching to find. Ended up with 49 finds and only 1 DNF so we were very happy with our caching day. TFTC Thejman82
After a quick climb up the rock the cache was quickly found. Great views from the top of the rock..

After a quick climb up the rock the cache was located. A lot of history here! And stunning views. Tftc

Great views today.
TFTC

Yes

Bit out of breath but found!

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one off the list

Lived in Northam all my life and never knew of the history of this rocky outcrop. No pen on hand, did not sign. TFTC.

A quick find. I've been trying to get out during lunch to do a few caches and thanks to those who have placed all these caches for giving me something to hunt.. Thank You

Thanks to m4yb and her looking after my animals at home I stayed an extra day up the farm which meant I left earlier - All cachers know what an early departure means..
I don't go into Northam on my normal journey to and from Wyalkatchem, but after picking up an injured Kookaburra off the road I detoured via Northam to drop it off at a specialised Wildlife carer. So of course while I was here I decided to grab a few more smileys from the many caches Northam has to offer.

Stop number 6 and after a short climb up the rock the cache was found quickly. Glad there were no spears flying around today and the rock had dried off after the recent rains. I imagine it would be quite slippery when wet. TFTC Thejman82

The breeze up the top was absolutely beautiful considering the stinking hot day I had to pick for caching!
Lovely views that would look stunning in the wet weather with green all around!
TGTH!!

Heading to Northam and taking the opportunity to grab a few hide's along the katrine tourist drive


Quick clamber up the rocks and the log was in hand

Tftc

Not too many places for this cache to hide. Thanks for the history and the cache. It's in good order.

Nice easy find.
TFTC

Tftc quick one

Found with richlink on a quick day trip to the area. We always enjoy caches with historical content, thanks Thejaman82.

On a caching run to Toodyay & Northam on a pretty warm day with iluvtrekking. Sad bit of history at this site but always enjoy a cache that brings me to places of such interest. A quick find but the magnet has dislodged so we replaced a bit lower down. Thanks Thejman82

pug002 found it 12/11/2015 12.05 pm TFTC Thejman82.

Search and searched couldn't find it anywhere.
So I replaced it with another happy caching

Seems this one is missing
I will replace it soon as possible.

pug002 DNF searched where GPS took us and all around to no avail.

Heading out for some caching around Northam & surrounds, this was one we found along the way... Jase headed up to this one, whilst I waited in the car with the kids! He was searching for a few minutes, so we then all headed up to give him a hand Eventually (and amazingly), the cache was spotted lying on the ground beyond the fence... DangerMouse09 was quickly onto it & we added our names before placing the cache back where we thought it should be

TFTC Thejman82 [^] Again, we enjoyed finding out about the history of this location.

Walked straight to this one
TFTC

quick easy find after the last DNF
