Good to go .. just watch your footing . Cache is now a film canister until there is some more regrowth.
This one is toast after the recent devastating bushfire. Will replace somehow very soon.
Our first day below 40 degrees over Xmas so talked my muggle friends to come
for a drive to collect some smilies. Thanks to the COs for placing these caches for us to enjoy. Came in on the wrong side as we were driving. Would be much easier from the track - but well worth it as the scenic view was beautiful ️ Signed and replaced as found.

Out and about on the bike doing some more of the KEP series. Quick find here and a nice view too TFTC
pug002 found it 19/5/20 on our stint geocaching, found this one and when I looked at the GPS I said I don't have anymore listed. Looked at the book geo hubby meticulously writes them down and saw there should have been another 30. He said Oh well I must have not clicked them on, so we decided nothing we could do and will continue next week when the burning off is done.

Staying with friends near THE KEP Track I decided to get a few of them today but it was a bit hot and I took lots of water with me for the bit of a trek. Left a token for a fellow cacher. TFTC
Decided to spend some long overdue time out on The Kep Track picking up some caches.
TFTC jasenjanine this is find # 8463 for us.

I decided to go for a ride today and do another stretch of the KEP track. Quick find. TFTC
A nice early start with Neva2old to grab a couple of caches before meeting up with TheMongrel to continue or hunt along the Kep track, we had a fantastic day today with mostly nice quick finds. The weather held out and we only had a couple of sprinkles of rain. TFTC
Out and about with Parkacruz and eventually Themongrel to tackle a few more of the Kep series and a few others on the way. The rain held off although temperature gauge said 3 degrees at one stage and the seat warmers set to toasty we had a great day Tftc.
A Sunday morning with the geodog successfully dedicated to completing the Government Rd section of the amazing Kep Track (and occasional Viper) series - thanks for the caches!
Found it. TFTC jasonjanine. Teamed up with Ulysis and papillon367 for a second bite of this series. After riding so far in the heat, the brook was tempting.
Teamed up with ullyssia and Photo-Play for a second bite at this series. We went from Bakers Hill to Wooroloo and had a great day enjoying the variety of hides along the track. This one was a quick find. Thank you for the cache and for the series jasenjanine.
Thank you! Headed out with Photo-Play and papillon367 for a ride along the track from Bakers Hill to Wooroloo.
Straightforward find here. Cache in good condition.
It was nice to stop and look at the Brook. I bet it is even nicer in winter.

Quick find, cache in good condition. Another stretch of the KEP covered today and it's a nice one. Thanks for the cache jasenjanine.
NEF. On approach I was dreading where it might be, but you are not that cruel. TFTC jasenjanine
After such great fun and enjoyment from yesterdays walk, I set out today to continue the trek. I walked from Wooroloo to Clackline. Another hot day, but I took two breaks along the way at Wundowie and Bakers Hill to replenish. Arrived at Clackline around dusk to then realise there were no transport options to return to Wooroloo other than to walk back in the dark. Thankfully I brought a good torch to guide the way. I hope to complete the track all the way to Northam sometime soon. TFTC jasenjanine
Met up early this morning with ssclan with the plan to ride as much of the KEP trail as we could before the rain arrived. Armed with a coffee from DOME we arrived around 7am in Chidlow. With 2 cars we took the second to Wundowie and then headed back to Childow to start the ride.
Great morning with only the 1 DNF, arriving in Wundowie by bike around 11:45am, just as the drizzle set in. From there it was a tour of several of the caches around the town followed by a couple on the way back to Chidlow.
Ended the day with 55 finds, so a great day out. Loving the KEP trail, another 36 completed today but still plenty to go.
Thanks to Jasenjanine for this great series, and for the inventive puzzles and other caches around Wundowie

Headed east early this morning to get some smilies on the KEP Track with Spatialriq. Also picked up some others along the way. Quite a successful day on the bikes with 58 finds and only 1 dnf.
Thanks jasenjanine for a great series and a couple of head scratching puzzles. Hopefully I'll be back soon to complete the rest of the series.

We have been tackling this series over a period of time and it was time to bite the bullet and get it completed .... So the geowife instructed me it was my time to complete it !!!!!
I packed the car with the old push bike and hit the trail early ......
It was dark when I hit Mundaring so it was out with the torch . Did I mention the weather was dismal !!!!
I managed to collect 81 and no DNFs.
Many different containers used so it was a pleasure to see a variety and the way they were used .....
I saw the history of the KEP track in different stages from the old water pipe to the railway sliding's / landings and the buildings close to the track from that era .
Sorry for the genetic log as I didn't take any notes but will comment on the ones I can remember !!!!

Got up early and while muggle husband played golf at El Caballo, decided to tackle as much of the Kep as we could today. Had a great time on a beautiful Sunday morning, the first for so long that wasn't wet. Great variety of caches that were well hidden. .Tftc, jasenjanine.
I headed out to this area with the mountain bike for a second crack at polishing off a few more of the Kep series of caches. The weather was getting better with bright blue skies now. There was still a lot of puddles along the way and no one else around. Very peaceful!
jasenjanine - jinta29 found your cache THE KEP - Brook. This is my find #5570 and find #32 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Probably didn't approach this one the best way! Never the less we found it, signed the log, replaced it and even had the time to take a photo! TFTC
TFTH Pretty spot. Geo T and I made our way to GZ from the road. In hindsight probably not the best way but the end result was achieved and we signed the log. TB taken
TFTC! Found on a lovely mornings caching out to Northam to tackle a leg of the KEP track series between wundowie and Northam.
Was a lovely morning with nearly all caches found, a few did not attempts, due to various reasons.
Highlight of the day was the refractory building, took some lovely pictures there and will return to tackle the two caches nearby that were a bit too tough to grab today.
Had to be back in Perth earlier than planned so will have to return to tackle the rest of the series another day. Thanks

ended my extended long weekend doing some more Geocaching, turns out it has been a full on 5 days of caching from Jurian Bay to Augusta and out to Northam/York. covered a fair few more KM of this Great state TFTH TFTC
Up bright and early this morning to head to Northam with iluvtrekking mainly to do The Kep Track caches. All caches in the series located using a combination of roadside access or the geo-hubbies plying the treddlies down the tracks. A great day out and many thanks to jasenjanine for the awesome effort in laying this series down.
Richlink stayed over on Saturday night so that we could make and early, early start on Sunday morning.
So, with the bikes loaded we headed off in the dark to Northam, "The Kep" caches firmly in our sights. Some of the caches were accessed on foot from the nearest parking spot and others by bike. Although there was some heavy rain storms on Monday and we were wet through we found all of the caches and had a great couple of days finishing up with lunch at The Weir Hotel on Monday.
Congratulations jasenjanine, what a fantastic effort here.

Left some extags at many of the 80 caches we found Easter Sunday... This was one of them. Thanks for the cache jasenjanine
Hiddo left some pathtags along the series and I offloaded some mini Thomas trains and ipod covers. Great to see some larger caches mixed in with some smaller hides. Thanks for the thought you've put into the series.
(chwiliwr team catchup log)
I decided that we were going out caching despite the weather so headed up to do some more of this series. Ended up quite wet at times but found all the caches without too much trouble in the rain. Some of them were even found without rain falling on us.
We started at the wier to finish of the few that we missed the other day when heading home and once they were done headed up to where we ended the other day near Wooroloo and continued on from there.
Cache logs were signed and caches returned as found.
Thanks jasenjanine for the cache.

I have spent a little bit of time on or around the KEP track between Mundaring Weir and Woorooloo, and enjoy getting out on it. It's a great area, and there is lots to see along the way.
This afternoon I cherry picked the caches that had not been logged yet, hoping for a FTF, but I ended up with 2TF or 3TF at most of them, with Chwiliwr and Blingg having been through this morning.
I had no trouble with any of the caches I went for this afternoon, with the last 5 or so being done by torch light. I look forward to coming back for the rest of the series.
I decided to skip ahead to this one as it was the last one in the near vicinity that I could see that hadn't been logged yet, and it was getting dark by now, but it also had been found, so I was STF here.
Thanks for the cache jasenjanine!
