Sorry Archived because of Undesirable people putting unwanted objects in cache.
Will start again when time permits.

Found it. TYFTH Took Turtle Left $1.00 Would advise that this cache be archived as some one is leaving undesirable things in the cache EG: Used syringes etc.

We skipped to the end, and Kirra found it easily.
Nice to see it full of toys.

There was a cigarette butt left in the log, also VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE PROHIBITED ITEMS IN THIS CACHE!!!

TNLN!

Thanks for the cache.

Brad, Kirra & baby Jayden.

Hi,

just a quick note to let you know that the Golfields War Museum took a bit of a pounding in the Earthquake the other week. The contents of the museum have been moved and I presume that the vehicles will go as well. This will make this Multi Cache unsolvable. Please could you alter it to make allowences for this event.

Regards
Peta

Found over the space of the afternoon with breaks for the football.
Took TMNT.
Left flexi pencil.

Found after an hour was extremly fun and want to do a few more like this but has given us understanding of how more of them work now

it took a long time but with the 5 check piont it will take 2-3 hrs to do good hide

Found it after a long drive around 5 check pionts

TNLT

Helped Stennis finish this puzzle. We worked out that the vehicle collection has grown. A little local knowledge helps here.
Thank you for the hunt

this was our first find for the new year. it took us two days to complete after realising that the the answer for waypoint 3 is "number of vehicles - 1" as a new vehicle has been added to the collection! good hunt though, tftc

Modded the listing to make the clue more correct... Thanx Stennis and Congrats for finding it with a dodgy CLUE...
Dexter Ditto =)

Tried this multicache this afternoon but stumbled upon a problem with counting the vechicles at WP3, We hear there maybe be a new vechicle in the location throwing our co-ords, we ended up on a track bout 10k's north of Kalg in the middle of the bush. Mite be worth checking this out again Dexter. We may try the new coords 2mrw if we survive nye
cheers

Found it after going through our calculations again, first we ended up north of the museum and after calculating the new GZ coord. we found the last clue south of the museum.
Thanks for breaking up the long road with some nice caches you place along the route.
We found this one on our 10 days 4000Km trip from Nannup through the goldfields and wheat belt, with our goal to find to oldest (6 years) awaiting ftf cache in WA: Nichols knob

An interesting excursion collecting the data. We almost came unstuck at the third waypoint but went on to where to thought the next one was and found we were correct. Not too much later we were at the cache. Thanks Dexter Ditto

We tried this one on our way out of town to Esperance. Unfortunatley we hadn't printed the logs before we left home (ACT) so didn't have the benefit of some of the clues in the logs. We found WP1, 2 and 3 without trouble, but obvioulsy did something wrong in either the counting of the vehicles or the girders. (I suspect the problem was with the vehicles.) We didn't have time to keep trying different permutations so unfortunately had to leave it. Would love to know what the right answer was!

If ever we get back to Kalgoorlie (although we liked the town very much this is unlikely!) we'll try again.

Can I suggest that the owner maybe put a check sum in so that you at least know that you're on the right track at clue 3 as this is the part that seems to trip everyone up? Enjoyed the bits we did though.

Great family outing, although the 18 monther got a little testy with locating the final cache.
Took bike tool, left toy car

We had a lot of fun doing this cache. Be careful with the clue about tyres and girders. The number of vehicles may have changed, and what do you call a girder? You won't have to travel too far to the next clue. Managed to find the cache and still got to the airport in time to fly home.

TNLN TFTH

Phew!!! Finally found the cache.. but worth to visit all... I am very lucky as I have a friend who lived Kalgoorlie. They help me. No swap. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

It seems to us as the third clue was wrong.....it looks like a new vehicle has been added to the display? Is this correct?

Finally found it after some driving around past the final location, not knowing that we were correct....it just didn't feel right from our approach, however it all clicked after accessing it from the other direction.

Thanks for the chance to tour the town (quickly).

mm

Started yesterday but hit a snag with the co-ords for the 4th clue (number of vehicles) so held us up. Found today at 1230 without any more problem. This is an excellent well thought out multi, covering several interesting locations that we otherwise may not have visited.
Took: TB
Left: Nil

It took me a while to log it, but I found it. I was running a bit short on time, so I skipped a few of the hints by doing the maths with a bit of guesswork. It worked out alright.

And hey, guess what! Coming from Switzerland I have found this cache without using any plane, train or automobile. A bicycle and a number of boats did the trick for me.....

A little odd, isn't it.

Finished this one at last. I got the fourth clue screwed up and ended up going for a bush bash exercise kilometers of course.

Very quick visit at the cache as there was muggles about on their motorbikes.

Left: Nuts TB

Took: Red Blumaroo Neopet, looked cool and wanted to do a bit of travelling.

I can not remember what I wrote in the logbook [?]

Anyway, day trip to Kalgoorlie from Perth, well almost with a purpose to log a couple of requirements for CoinQuest and rescue the geocoin so it can go home to it's owner in South Oz. Grabbed the TB as well. Had a good time.

1705hrs Finally got this one done with the help of all the Lemmings Tribe. TNSL Left combo tool and new cache container which was more suitable for the environment it is in.

Team Lemmings

Started hunt late yesterday afternoon and would have rapped it up early this morning except for fencing contractors at wp5. TNLNSL
PS. Team Lemmings has replaced cache container due to big crack in lid.

This was our first multi cache. We enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed it, and will be on the lookout for more! Only took us about an hour and half though (we didnt spend too much time at any location - we had seen some of them before). Left a matchbox car, and took nothing.

This was a really fun few hours!! From one end of town to the other, the Blench gang, along with Graeme and Colleen, found this cache with a long hard search at the final destination. This cache was full of all sorts of goodies, (Ash liked the dolls very much) So we took a stuffed parrot, and left a glo stick, a marble and a keyring.
Really good job on this one guys... Cheers Ash, Daisy & Zack

Unfortunately this was our only DNF for the week. We had no trubble at the first waypoint, the second clue was found in short order, the third was another quick find but at the fourth we came unstuck ... we counted the vehicles (no prob's there), then we came unstuck ... turning all around. We checked the front on the building no information pending ... we then checked the rear of the building down the laneway. Hmmm maybe it was out the front. We returned to find that there 'May' have been something in the past attached to the wall here? If it was ... there are signs of something that has been removed?
Maybe someone could check to see if we were just having a dyslexic day.
Next time we're in town!

Saw the second clue while we passed to other nearby cache and knew it was one of the clues we were supposed to look for. So far we have done the first, second, and third clues. However, tried to work out for the fourth clue and had us stumped. Time was running against us. We will come back trying to complete it on next visit if all goes well. Thanks.

Found this cache after having to work out the co-ordinates several times. (It pays not to be too accurate - Mr Westy is a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to figures).
We also had to explain ourselves to a muggle, who was wondering what we were doing in the area we were rummaging around. He was a hive of information with regards to the area where this cache is. You will have to find the cache yourself to find out more.

Visited Planes, Trains and Automobiles and was accompanied by a Traitor (Psst, Infidel, can you hide me somewhere-Travel Bug). Whilst Admiring Days Gone By, Sadam gave me the slip and is hiding somewhere near by no doubt. Having found Him once I am sure someone can find him again... He's a slippery Little Sucker. Left Sadam TB and Retrieved Chattering Teeth Key Ring.

The Flintstones,

Wilmar found this one. Great location for a cache. We didn't know an old Royal Flying Doctor base existed. We had to look around abit to find the cache but it was worth it. We took Robbbie Robot to the Kalgoorlie Cup and had a win. I think we will send him on a plane to the coast to see the sea.

Cheers,
The Hendersons

I had the pleasure of enjoying this geocaching journey with my Mum and Dad. We all had a great time trying to get to the next clue first.

We left a Robby Robot TB in the new Plains, Trains and Automobiles location. I hope to return soon.

Well we finally got to find this cache after knowing near on where it was but could not access due to all the muggles around when we were trying to retrieve it. When found the cache container had around 30mm of water in the bottom of it so we decided to take the cache container back home with us to dry it out and then return it later in the arvo. Took Pomie coin and left little yellow piggy.
Mrs Westy Clan is relieved that I still have my b@#ls after having to get to the cache location.(me too).We dropped off Black Jack TB and then took him back out again as this cache does not get much attention, he will be heading back to Perth for a bit more activity.

All the best...........Westy Clan

Found the first clue no worries and then started walking to the next clue......bad move
Returned the following day and managed the next clues with no worries.
We know the wherabouts of the cache but due to to many prying eyes and a locked gate we will return at a more appropriate time to finish this one off
All the Best............Westy Clan

Talk about getting a sore bum from travelling. We had just returned from an overseas holiday the day before which included 20 hours on a plane from Istanbul and that had been precededed by a full day in Galipolli and the drive up to Istanbul and many other bus overnight trips during our 9 days there. The last thing we were wanting to do was get in a car and drive up to Kalgoorlie. But it was for a special event so we put the discomfort behind us(no pun intended) and knuckled down to the task. We felt much better by Sunday so we decided to hang around and visit a few friends and attempt to finish this cache.
The task was easy enough it just took time. All the places were still findable and the cache was still in its hiding hole. We just had to climb over a pointy fence that could have had the family jewels as a decoration if someone slipped.
We took the African coin and left 2p coin from the UK that we had left over from our travels.
We replaced the cache inside as we found it, out of sight and to the right.you will have to reach in and feel for it as you cant see it.
We went to the Super pit while we were there as they were moving the viewing platform soon but we could hardly stand up to the 40knot wind and the dust. Interesting place to see though.
Thanks for the time out and the interesting cache. We didnt take any pics as the camera was back in Perth with the holiday photos on it still.

The Flintstones were here.
We found Jimmy, poor old sole.
We had trouble finding the plane.
The cryptic clue gave away the cache location. A very good spot to hide a cache. We left a voucher for a cup of coffee. Make sure it gets used. We drank a toast to Slim Dusty and were on our way again.
Cheers.

While on a shrt weekend trip up here we decided to do a few caches. We have made a start on this one and will be back at some other stage to finish it...Time was against us. Here is a pic of the first location. We drove past the second location but just didnt have time to log it. Lyn Pat and Nathan

Cruel but fair!
Getting in amongst the spider webs was daunting.
Jimmie's clue should read 94448.051 divided by the year he died.
I knew about the Loongana charter tragedy but went towards Kambalda and discovered an anomaly whereby one gets closer but is on the wrong road.
Then went down a few bush tracks and nearly got bogged in the lakes. Eventually decided to use the bitumen.
Finally got to the cache but the gates were locked.
Left a pair of earplugs because the applause for setting a great hunt will be deafening

Cheers
Nuggett

found 30/6/02 all enjoyed the day.Took nothing left green lighter and names,clyde.
