Oh! WOW! Scotsdale, Western Australia, Australia
By roymerc on 12-Dec-15. Waypoint GC683EV

Thanks! Lovely winery, and another creative cache!

We are on our way back over to the West for a friends memorial service in Geraldton but this trip we are taking our time , enjoying the drive and picking up a few caches and taking in the scenery. We are mainly concentrating on Ad Labs, Earth caches and Virtual's as these don't give you any muggle problems. Of course there will be others in between.What can we say but WOW and WOW! This CO has a mind that works in a very mysterious way.We love finding roymerc caches and being amazed at his talent but this one is over the top.It took us a while to find the coordinates even though they are hidden in plain site.Once we had the numbers in the GPS we headed off to GZ where the cache was a nice quick find and sign.Diane then went off to grab a bottle to celebrate with tonight.Many thanks roymerc for creating our new most favourite cache, leaving a well deserved favourite point and wish we could leave more.

Wow, and Wow again. This is such a clever multi with so much effort having gone in to the creation of this cache. This was a lovely spot with lots of people enjoying picnics on the lawn. No wonder this one is a favourite of the CO's

A lovely finish to our wine tasting afternoon. TFTC

Found on our trip from Hervey Bay QLD to WA Goes Big 2024. I made the bold comment that the last Roymerc cache we found was the best we've ever found...oops...I eat my words, this cache is just such amazing workmanship and we said many oh wows!

Day #5. My last minute WAGB adventure continues today! Road tripping again. Ive now met up with Posums in Albany and we are off today on the much anticipated roymerc trail. Fun times ahead.Oh WOW indeed! This is a piece of art. We deciphered the wpt before truly appreciating the full setup of this cache. Just excellent and worth every favourite point it has received, including this one.A wander in the sun revealed the final coords (although something bit me when I reached for the cache so beware.A big thanks goes to roymerc for taking the time to add Oh! WOW! to the geocaching map for us all to find and enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Wow! The fun just never stops.Have you logged your will attend for Victoria's first ever Block Party? (Think Mega but even more special!)Join us on 22-23 March 2025 in Sunbury to celebrate 25 years of geocaching by logging your will attend at [**GCAP417**](https://coord.info/GCAP417).

I came over to WA last year for WAGB 23 and had such a great time so I decided to come back over again for this years events in Augusta.So after all of the planning with dates worked out my work decided that I could only have one week off so flying over was my only option.So I flew into to Perth and my first stop will be Busselton for 2 nights.It has been 47 years since I was in this part of WA and Im really looking forward to the re visit.Im making my way down the coast and picking out caches that look interesting to me.After spending a bit of time in Bunbury it was back to the Geo Rent a Car to continue along the coast and I then made it to Busselton.Day 4 of the trip.After caching around Busselton, Dunsbourgh and Cape Naturaliste I reached Albany for 3 nights.Caught up with Roaming Howie last night and a plan was hatched to head to Denmark today (the one in WA not the country) to tackle most of roymerc caches and any others that pop up.We made it to the winery and after finding the WP we both stood back and said Oh! WOW!The detail that went into this was amazing.Stand back and tack it all in.Another fav for this one.Thanks roymerc TFTC

Find number 13806 at 3:36:38PM on Saturday the 7 September 2024We're on our way to WA Goes Big, travelling from Croydon (Melbourne, Victoria) with a caravan in tow and making a leisurely caching holiday across the Nullarbor and back.Today we're travelling a little down the road to Denmark to spend a day or two grabbing some of the roymerc caches around the area.Loved the feild puzzle and the solution and the grounds were spectacular!**Thanks for placing this cache roymerc**---*WOW, so much happening here in Victoria*Dont forget to log your will attend for Victorias first ever Block Party in March 2025, the [**The Sunbury Event**](https://coord.info/GCAP417).Theres also all those lists of amazing geocaches at [Geocaching Victorias List webpage]( https://geocachingvictoria.com.au/information/great-caching-lists), go check them out.

Tftc super cool design

Oh Wow! What a cache, what a lovely setting to visit to experience it! I really enjoyed visiting here and this masterpiece of art that it is. Brilliant!Today was Gnowangerup down towards Denmark day. Leaving Gnowangerup it was a day of caching towards the select caches picked out. The roymerc caches had been highly recommended and called me for a visit. Sure was pleased we went, the quality and fun was worth the trip and experience of visiting them. Denmark has always been a favourite place of mine, so it's great to revisit and enjoy this beautiful area with it stunning scenery and a few nice walks. Dinner picked up in Denmark, it was out of town for a free camp. Nice quiet place by a creek, surrounded by power trails and a mild night quite good for a walk in the moonlight to collect a few. Quite unusual to hear so many birds at night, the magpies singing quite late. I've never heard them quite like they were here, nice though. Thanks for your cache.

What an epic effort. This reminded me a bit of Kryptos at CIA headquarters. I liked the final location too. Thank you for doing this for all of us.

Found this with my grandson (Jamesknowlson) back when he found this for the first time. Setting up our own geocache account now, and he is helping us get off to a start by logging a few caches we found when over with him in AUS. These roymerc caches were simply incredible! Such a shame we didnt have longer to explore more. Thanks for your hard work, Roy!

Found at 2:43 PM GAFF1.Oh wow alright! This was where we were going to go in any case as we have known about this place since 2011 when it first opened! After imbibing in the fantastic tasting that they offer we ended up buying more than we will be able to carry in the van for a while [:o)]Now back to this impressive cache - The first thing that we thought when we worked out the co-ords was "Bravo" and that wasn't for the CO, but for us for working it all out without a massive drama and any angst! Well done on the co-ords finding part and there was even suitable and I think essential vantage points!Headed over to the final and we could tell from a distance that we were on the right track and after a few moments we had the nicely constructed cache container in hand.Thanks to roymerc for a really memorable cache and in a very impressive location that we have had a lot of joy from.

We were wondering what sort of egotistical person names their cache Oh! WOW! as we drove up the driveway at 11.02am. And then we saw it. When you're a bit blown away your reactions can become 'unpolished'. Ours was an Oz version of Oh! WOW!........... $%*!.... that's good!!!! TFTC roymerc. FP!

Oh! Wow! we said! Really?!Arriving at the initial waypoint on a beautiful sunny day, we were initially tempted to be sidetracked by the nearby restaurant and wine bar. However, no one was near where we needed to be for this one and so we decided to go and explore the garden and look at the nearby sculptures. We spied something quite beautiful and regarded it from a number of angles until the light inside shone for us. The whole setting of this beautiful Estate is elegant and inviting, and so after making our way to the final and signing the log on another marvellous sculpture, we succumbed to the lure of the winery and paid our respects there. Thanks roymerc for the effort, artwork and adventure. Thanks also to the beautiful wine estate for hosting this geocaching location. Of course we add a favourite point here!Domsky

Oh! WOW! INDEED!!! So clever, you are some sort of genius! Again, if we could give this many many fave points we absolutely would! At first we were a little baffled but once we saw it....WOW!!! And we felt so clever too!In all the years we have been geocaching this would have to be the all-time favourite one ever! Not only is it in such a picturesque location but the creativity and the WOW factor are so unique! Hats off to you roymerc, you keep surprising us with your creations but this one is AWESOME!!!Thank you (again and again) roymerc for placing and maintaining Oh! WOW! for us and others to thoroughly enjoy! We have been looking at all of your geos down here for years after finding BYOB #16 in our home town of Rockingham and wanting to come down and find more of your clever hides but we had no idea of what we were in for! Well worth the trip down! Favourite added...of course (again, wish we could give more!)Salute!

Unfortunately we had so much fun at the other BYOB caches we just missed the opening times for this one. We will be back or at least i will .

Dopo aver passeggiato nella Harewood Forrest allunghiamo la strada per rispondere alla Lab per poi tornare sui nostri passi e venire a visitare questa magnifica Winery. Arrivati al GZ, dopo tanti mumble mumble finalmente esce il WOW che tanto attendavamo. Abbiamo lodato, nelle precedenti cache dell'owner, la vena ingegneristica delle sue opere ma qui il valore artistico a prelevare. Bellissimo.Prima di recarci al finale per passiamo per una degustazione di vini e formaggi e ne usciamo con 3 bottiglie di un buonissimo vino. Oltre l'utile c' il dilettevole!Il Favorito scontato e non veniamo l'ora di scoprire altre creazioni.Ciao e grazie. #10875After having walked in the Harewood Forest we move on to complete the Lab and then retrace our steps and come to visit this magnificent Winery. Once we arrive at GZ, after many mumble mumbles, there's the Wow! We have already praised in previous logs the owner's engineering qualities, but here it is the artistic value that stands out. Beautiful!!Before heading to the final, we stop for a wine and cheese tasting and leave with 3 bottles of very good wines! Beyond requirements there is pleasure!The Favorito is a given and we can't wait to discover other creations.Hello and thanks. #10875

Stunningly beautiful setting and would give it a wow just for bringing us here. Has to be one of the most unique multis we've ever done or likely to do. Fav point. Tftc

Found it TFTC Found in good condition. Well what can I say the work that went into those numbets brilliant. Thank you for your effort

Definitely got the wow factor here! A beautiful spot too, thanks roymerc.

Loved this and the wine

WOW! All I can say!TFTC roymerc. Found on 28 Sep 2023 at 11:21. Find # 2756

Oh! Wow! is an understatement. This one blew our socks off. We are baffled as to how you came up with this. It was so nicely done from start to finish. Thanks roymerc, a favourite for sure.

We missed this one due to the time constraints on our last drive in the countryside so today we headed straight here. And yes, definitely a Wow moment! We couldn't believe what we were seeing at first but a few steps back and everything became clear .

A favorite point from us. How could we not?!

Thanks for find #4668
TNLN

Excellent work put into this one! Tf t c.

Tft very interesting cache in a beautiful setting!

Thanks for another excellent creation in a fabulous setting and yes it was definitely an "Oh Wow" moment

Awesome

Definitely WOW

I really liked this. Very pretty. TFTC

Pretty place TFTC

I met Roymerc last time we were in WA while doing another of his caches, he told me then about a new cache he was making called 'Oh Wow'. So I knew when we returned to the area this time we would have to check it out. Well it certainly didn't disappoint, another awesome Roymerc cache. Thanks for the cache and the fun we had. Now to try some wines!!!!!

First for today. I love it. My fav cache now. So clever. My 518th find.

Here with kenare and kenbryl. Decided we would hit the favourite points caches. None have let us down….. especially not this one.
You call it oh wow…… what an appropriate name for it!!!! Don’t know how many times we said it but we laughed and knew why it was called that. How bloody clever!!!!! Never have or will I ever see something like this….. if I could award more than one favourite point I would. Thank you for going above and beyond for the enjoyment of other. Truely amazing

First up 2 things….
1. Def worthy of another fave point
2. I would have loved to try some wine, but wine doesn’t like me.
Oh my goodness!!! What a fantastic way to ‘hide’ coordinates. I have never seen anything like it and most likely will never again. I absolutely love the simplicity, yet hard, detailed way in which they’re done.
Oh wow was an understatement!!
I also loved reading the story behind it all. Thank you so much for the cache, the story and for bringing me to my first winery visit whilst in WA.
Tftc

Oh wow. We felt a bit bad not going in for a try of their award winning wine, but I’m underaged and the others don’t drink wine. We had a look around and really appreciated the effort that has gone into hiding the numbers required. It’s a really brilliant way to do it. Tftc

This definitely was the Oh! Wow! moment when we found the necessary info for the finals. Very very well done, we just loved it. Took a walk to sign the logbook but came back to the start to admire it again.
Thanks roymerc for this clever construction, you so deserve another favourite point.

Everyone keeps saying to go to Demark, so I am. TFTC.
Oh. WOW. Excellent multi. Love the construction and placement. Now to check the shop.

20/4/22

Think we found it

Amazing! Definitely a favourite of ours!

Amazeballs!! What a stunning setting for this ingenious cache. Now for the wine! Thanks Roymerc

Definitely wow! And a fav. What a beautiful estate. Very peaceful and cool sitting here writing the log. Tftc

Figured this one out and definitely amazed at the level of complexity with the coords to GZ, TFTC

Wow just wow. Tftc

As we arrived at this location to be greeted by the ducks and geese. This winery is in a wonderful setting and a real credit to the owners - obviously their pride and joy. As we walked towards the published coordinates we thought that we had an idea about extracting the required information. Our thoughts were correct but when we got to the right orientation, it was as if what we were seeking was displayed in neon lights - it was just so clear. The effort that had gone in to the design, construction and placement of the object at the published coordinates has to be seen to be believed and appreciated. This is an outstanding creation. Then with the information used to update the coordinates in our GPS units, it was off to GZ where accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a container with the logbook. The object on which the cache was hidden had also been created with the same meticulous care and flair. The cache and contents were in good condition. Now we understand fully the name of the cache. It certainly earns a favourite from us. We then headed off to the retail section of the winery to sample their wares and to make a small purchase - after all, there is little capacity for additional luggage on our flight home.

What a work has gone into this beautiful creation! TFTC!!

Was determined to figure this one out due to the number of favourite points. Unfortunately, my husband found the necessary data before I did. However, he didn’t know what to do with that data, and I did! Ha, take that. Plugged in some new numbers, gave my phone to the boys and they ran off, had found it before we got there.

I can’t begin to put into words how clever we found this one. And yes, 9 year old was the first to say “Oh wow”, and he wasn’t the last. Was awesome.

By this point it was raining heavily, so we headed into the winery, which was another wonderful surprise and a part of why this one is getting one of our heavily guarded favourite points! Wonderful setting, lovely staff, amazing wine. A winner.

Thanks for the effort you’ve put in to this cache, and I’m jealous that you’re friends with the owner of this place!

Definitely an oh wow for us! Love the uniqueness of this multi. A fave from us. TFTH
Found during a lovely trip out to Denmark and surrounding areas atWAGB 2021 with I C Nothing, Meme28 and Burns345. Logs signed as MIKB.

Signed as MIKB while down here for WAGB21. Great area and locations. Well worth the visit and geocaching taking us to Albany. TFTC

Genuinely one of, if not the finest Geocache out of my 5408 find to date - Top top quality.
Thank you so much for this creation.
The Machman

Thanks for placing and maintaining this awesome cache. Our and about I’m Denmark getting some to must do caches and we were not disappointed. Very clever and interesting cache combined with wine favourite point added for sure

Found this cache and the wonderful waypoint 1 creation while visiting Denmark during the WAGB weekend. We decided this cache was a ‘must do’ after meeting the CO at his very informative talk at BYOB8. Greatly appreciate the effort and ingenuity that has gone into this cache. TFTC

After a morning session in Denmark, this one was on our must do list... WOW indeed and a FP is deserved

Thanks roymerc for the nice cache here and my number #5095.
And yes it is a WOW moment when you find the coordinates.
TFTC NoJaLeDa

We travelled from Portland Victoria across to WA to see our daughter in Perth. Now we are slowly heading home via Yallingup, the Fitzgerald NP and Denmark.

Day 2 in Denmark and as the weather is supposed to turn nasty, today we got our skates on and tackled as many caches as we could. It was supposed to be a Roymerc day but it turned out to be a Roymerc and Richlink day with lots of variety.

Wow indeed, have not seen anything like this one befofre. We called in and had a beverage as well. Very nice.
Thanks for showing us this part of the world roymerc

Today was a day to come and find some gadget caches that I have heard so much about and I certainly wasn't disappointed.

This one sure did have the WOW factor...so clever, and such a nice piece of art that really fits in with its surroundings. I spent quite a bit of time looking, sort of knowing what I was looking at and eventually by moving around a bit I got what I needed. Very cool and unlike anything I have seen before. Then it was off to GZ for a quick find of the cache. [^]

I was really hot by then so went into the winery for a tasting and came away with a few bottles to take home to SA.

Thanks for the cache roymerc another fav.

Plenty of customers at the business this afternoon. The WP is epic....positively WOW! Thanks for the hide.

Very much deserving of the name. Awesome cache, seriously one of the coolest I’ve done in a long time. Keep wowing us roymerc! (Found with BJP?)

Wow wow wow! Easily the coolest cache I have ever done. So well made and just simply brilliant. Well worth a favourite point and more. Thanks very much roymerc for giving us such enjoyment in your caches.

Tftc

Oh wait. What’s that. Oh wow! That’s certainly unique. And another structure at GZ of interest too! Definitely FP worthy! Now to try the wines.

Thanks for the cache roymerc.

Find #13294.

Found it
Very clever

TFTC another great cache!

Found it!!! TFTC

Absolutely amazing cache. It's all about the angles

Thanks so much for the effort that went into this. It's amazing.

Yes, that's a definite wow! Beautiful property and clever first stop. Tftc

Ok wow but I think I am out of faves. Awarding an honorary fave for a unique multi at a fabulous location. Tftc roymerc .You have been keeping us entertained all morning.

On a little getaway down south with Spike.
Picking up a few caches we missed last time we were down here.

Catching up on logs for my last visit! TFTC

Wow indeed! We can see that a lot of work has gone into this cache. We made the find and enjoyed the beautiful grounds. TFTC!

I try wherever I can to make the cache box as big as possible and include swag. Unfortunately this makes it a temptation for muggles. Especially the small muggles. This cache has been raided and trashed three times. It is now smaller and much more discreet. And no swag!

Great spot

Yep. Wow. To both the waypoint and the GZ.
The box was left mostly unclipped and the logbook was missing, so we added a new one and reattached it properly.

As a young geo learning my trade in the Eastern Goldfields, the Snowden’s used to be seen quite a bit. The world is quite small!! I’ve even been on one of their training courses, hired their team members as consultants and used their software.

Today, I can add a few more things to the list including walking the estate, drinking Chardonnay overlooking GZ, giving Gracie a pat and chuckling about the roymerc caches.

The concept here is very simple, difficult to craft but highly effective. Tip of the hat here Roy

TFTC roymerc #7 fav point for the day

Day 2 of our roymerc tour of Denmark. I am going to have to do some power trails before I return as I am fast running out of favourite points!!!

The first stage was such a stunning surprise. Amazing!! Stopped in for some wines and coffee too before retrieving the final! Highly recommend! Thanks Roymerc

Very cool. Love the creativity at a stunning venue. More quality engineering by Roy. Thanks for making this so exciting for us!

Oh WoW indeed and what a great way to finish the day. TFTC

Second day of geocaching with newbie Marijke and found it!!!TFTC what a brilliant cache. Superrrr. Thank you so much for this series, especially as I had Marijke the noob along for the ride. She loved it

Definitely wow! Fabulous idea and fabulous place.

Thank you! Day four of my five day somewhat random road trip. The plan for today was to do some roymerc caches, hike Mount Lindsey and make my way north-ish.
Yep. Wow indeed. Don't want to say much more so I don't spoil it for others. A fav for the creativity. Wish I could give the property owners a fav too.

Very creative. An amazing creation. TFTC

Found it with Tru Seek Trio and Rainbow Sajaz.

Oh wow, this is an amazing cache. Thanks guys for the amazing effort.

What an awesome cache again by mrmerc I am so very impressed by the caches you create for us. Thanks so very much

Great place and views, aw do me place and cache. Loved them all

Oh, Wow!
We are here on a predictably quiet day for single file. We were awestruck by the beauty of the grounds and scenery around. The great work and great idea that went into making this cache has us totally impressed, as we were expecting Thank you roymerc for the entertainment, and thank you Phil and Viv for letting us freeloaders wander around. We did buy some fruit from the fruit stand near posted coords, can recommend

Love the sculpture and very clever co ords. TFTC

Out and about with kiwinic grabbing a few caches in the Denmark area and decided to check this one out!! OH WOW!! Very cool, thank you for placing this cache here in an amazing setting and for the amount of time and money you have spent! Very much appreciated by us! TFTC:)

We really can say only WOW! to the way the coordinates are marked at the start.
TFTC

Yes, that was definitely a WOW! I loved both of the waypoints for their beauty and ingenuity. I have gushed so much in my logs on roymerc caches that on this one I will just say WOW. And thanks for all of the fun and effort to create joy and smiles.

Yep - ohh wow! Made even clearer when I stepped back to enjoy the artwork. You are a very clever man roymerc. Now to take my muggle for a glass of wine which we have on good advice that the whites are a delight! Well deserved Fav awarded

I see that some thoughtful person has stuck on the lid the note explaining the proper protocol for swaps. Didn't work because the cache had been completely stripped clean of loot —including the logbook— and left behind is a spoon, the eternal symbol of the stirrer!
A new logbook has been installed, and some new swaps for the kiddies. Please do not souvenir the logbook! If you are really desperate to have a photo of my backside I am willing to pose, for a price!

We were disappointed to have missed out on signing the logbook on this one despite finding the cache container.

However we were subsequently fortunate enough to meet with the CO and his charming wife. He has produced a replacement logbook and he kindly afforded us the chance to add our name to it and to snatch success from the jaws of our previous failure.

And this is such a brilliant cache that we need to log a "found it" to ensure we can give it the FP it so well deserves.

Thanks again roymerc. This one is very special.

Oh! WOW!

We found the Oh Wow info and made our way to the next spot. Sadly the container has nothing in it except a spoon. While we have spare logs with us we are not sure if we found the cache and would not replace things without CO permission.
Brilliant WP1
DNF

But Janet decided a wine tasting would be good. So we are doing that now

A great activity while mummy tasted some great wines

Fantastic geocache!! Oh Wow is right.
Also stopped to check out the cellar door while here. Thanks
