Cracker Girlwas chasing LGA's and we went for a drive this afternoon to pick up another three. This is one of the caches that both teams found.The cache page was right here, they've gone to a lot of effort to welcome you to this small community. We started our search and then decided we should really read the cache page which gave us a lot of leeway so we moved. slightly and it wasn't long before we had the slightly larger than nano and our names have been added to the log, after which everything was returned as found. Many thanks showing us this Welcome sign

I was staying in Nanson with dear family friends to celebrate the life of my surrogate grand father and took the opportunity to grab a couple of caches to try and turn a few more LGAs green. We pulled up to this one and thought we knew were it would be but after a thorough search we re-read the cache page and shifted our search area. The cache was soon in hand, thankfully as we don't always have that much success looking on farm equipemnt. Our names were added to the logbook and the cache returned as found. Thanks Miss-Placed for saving us from another nano!

Catching up on some late logs, now that I have time, while travelling.

We are on the road travelling up through central Australian and down the coast of WA. I was happy to grab a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

It was a welcomed sight, as we were looking forward to exploreing this area. A quick find here at GZ.

Thanks Miss-Placed for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.
