By Albany Canucks on 30-Nov-15. Waypoint GC67K50

Easy find luckily because its a long walk from the gate to the wind farm and back however I enjoyed the walk thank you for the cache

Found 9/4/23

Found whilst riding g along the mundabiddi tftc

Thanks The Burns family

Its now possible to dive in again. The sand is very soft. I put the tyres down on the way in, but decided to lower them even more for the trip back out. I found your D1.5/T2.5 Regular Traditional called Back-to-Back on 30 September 2023. It was find #18595 for me. Thank you Albany Canucks for placing this cache for our enjoyment in the wonderful state of Western Australia.

What a drive out to this one! Some very soft sand but the Mule drove like a trooper! Such a lovely beach at the end of the roadTFTC Albany Canucks. Found on 30 Sep 2023 at 18:49. Find # 2792

Found it, thanks

Fun drive to get here.

Walked here from the wind turbines, the salt spray and rain on the hills was beautiful. Tftc! S, J, M, C mean n angry

Today was our second day of cycling on the Munda Biddi Trail, taking in the sights along the way. The track here above the ocean was excellent riding, even with the wind directly in our face. We stopped here briefly and I checked the app for caches ... only a short distance off the trail down the path. The others agreed that they would wait while I descended to have a look for the container. Fortunately, it was a quick find. All in order. I added my name and put things back as I had found them.

Came via the beach from Lights. A bit of rugged rocks clambering early on but a great way to get to to the cache with the cliffs on one side and the surf on the other.
No goodies in the cache.

Thanks for bringing us here

The "needs maintenance" log posted in 2019 was subsequently dealt with, so no problem with the cache.

Got it. TFTC

Took the walk from Lights Beach across soft sand, rugged limestone and into the wind. Tough going but rewarding views. Thanks for bringing us to this spectacular spot

Tftc. Good description, easy find once you are happy to scramble

After following the boardwalk from lights beach to back beach, enduring rain and high winds, unfortunately no luck for us today.

Luvly view, gorgeous day, with Rosie Bogs, TFTC

doing the WOW trail this morning with papabogs and my geomum. should have brought something to pop in there! tftc

We had fun bouncing along the sandy track to this cache. We were rewarded by more magnificent views and a smilie.

After the rock-hopping surf frenzy trek to Final Resting Place and Cathedral Cliffs this morning, we opted for the 'softer' option to tackle this approach. Iluvtrekking jumped into our Patrol after reducing the tyre pressures and we bounced along the soft sandy track to gz. Very few spots to pull over if there is a car coming in the opposite direction so we were thankful we didn't encounter any other traffic on the track - perhaps the drizzle helped. Made a quick find at gz - all good here. No-one utilizing the surf below this afternoon. Thanks Albany Canucks for another adventure.

Got to the carport via the 4wd track from Ocean Beach caravan Park. A soft and deep track so 4wd and soft tyres highly recommended.
A stunning spot also liked by surfers whom we watched for some time.
Cache container in good condition but we did change the clip lock bags as the other one had perished.
A beautiful afternoons adventure.

Down in Albany with C10 and headed out towards Denmark testing the capabilities of his new 4wd. Found a good variety of caches, but the rain made it a bit slippery. Had to dodge a fair few puddles on the trails today.

Thanks for the fun.

Exploring the southwest a little more today, amazing too see so much water around I guess it is winter however I don’t think when I was living down here it was ever like this.
Took to some tracks that I wasn’t able to get to before, all up a great day out with more to come tomorrow.

Thanks for the hide. Took the rough drive into the cache but found the cache easily.

Sneakily picked this one up while on a work trip what a magic location TFTC

We cycled the WOW (Wilderness Ocean Walk) trail ("easy"? Ha!) from Lights Beach to Ocean Beach and picked this one up along the way. There's an easier access route now; an "official" 4WD track leads here from Ocean Beach Road and there's even a car park at the top of the stairs. I think the CO would rather you walked the beach though!
The cache looks sound enough although it was a bit wet inside. Spent fifteen minutes here opening the pages and letting them dry off a bit in the breeze. Put the lid back on tight and put it back in place. Thanks for the cache, Albany Canucks.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

This week I am walking on the Bibbulmun Track from Walpole to Albany which has provided the opportunity to seek out some geocaches along the way. This cache, the eighth that I found, was a straightforward find, being in an obvious spot within a few metres of the coordinates. It was on the ground when found so I returned it to a spot consistent with the description. Albany Canucks, please note that the log is saturated and needs to be replaced. I write my make on a piece of paper and left it with the log. Thank you for installing and maintaining this cache.

Stormy day adventuring

Squally storms but a beautiful location nonetheless l. A great find. Tftc

Nice find, great view!!

Found with muskcat83 and his geoson and ctvanderlinden geoson WOW what a view. God is good to show His glory.

So the plan was to get to point Walton. Not realising there was a track we started walking on the beach. Over the rocks, through the soft, then wet, then hard, then deep sand. But WOW to the scenery and the power of the ocean, it was really displaying its Makers force! It was a long 2.6km till we got here. As the plan was to go to point Walton, I decided that I would continue the walk, but the 2 kids stayed with the 2 photographers and played in the ocean and with their cameras/drones respectively. I marched on to point Walton. Then when I got back we climbed the stairs found the cache and walked back on the sealed path (which also has very nice views). Thanks for the cache, it was a great afternoon.

Geoson went out with his uncle's and opa. What a little trooper is what they said. TFTC

Found with Funky Monkey and our two pooches. TFTC

Found it

Nice easy find, great views

Walked all the way from lights beach to the Point Walton Cache and on the way back picked up this cache! Log book was a bit soggy so placed in a clip zip bag to keep dry! Thanks for the cache!!

nice view! Good excuse for a walk

Today, being such a glorious autumn day, decided to head off to Denmark in search of some caches. We had set our sights on one in particular, which had been sitting in its very lonely spot for four months. Lovely Lights Beach was abuzz with all manner of humans and canines, all enjoying a great day out at the beach. We walked off past all of them, and a short while later, we were pretty much the only humans along this wonderful stretch of pristine beach. That's what we love about this little corner of our great state. It does not take too much effort to be all alone on a beach, listening to the sound of the waves and enjoying the view. As we were walking though, we did notice a few pairs of footprints as well as dog prints; however, whoever they were, they were not cachers. They walked right up to the stairs and even further to the next set of rocks, after which they must have headed back the way they came. All this before we arrived here. The walk along the beach was quite a hard slog.....we arrived at the beach on an incoming tide, which made walking along the sand quite difficult and hard going. Eventually we arrived at our destination and the cache was soon signed and replaced. Thanks for bringing us to another great spot Albany Canucks and of course thanks for the cache.

Duckrunner and I did this cache on LeapDay to score the Souvenir. It was a bit of a hike for us three-score-and-thirteen-year oldies, but fun all the same.

Some details: Round trip, 7 km. Climb up stairs to cache, 50 metres. Climb up to carpark, 26 metres. And not to mention a scramble of a 40 metre wide savage pile of sharp edged limestone rocks. Wear tough shoes!

BTW, to judge by the multitude of tracks at GZ, the locals don't bother with the Shire's ban on using the old trail!

Yesterday we arrived at Denmark and checked the caches around! Then we saw this one and the FTF is still open. OK!! This morning we decided to go for a walk along the beach and figure out if we still can go for FTF. A very nice walk on a nice beach without any people. We liked it!! When we arrived near GZ there were already a lot of footsteps in the sand and we thought we wont be the first, but when we opened the box and there was no signature in logbook, we were very lucky!!! Our first FTF in Australia!!

TFTC and Cheers from the Swiss guys!!
