An Informative Stop East Bowes, Western Australia, Australia
By beckNmonts & Miss-Placed & Gabs1963 on 30-Dec-15. Waypoint GC68W4E

Didnt like this one. Lots of long prickly grass. Ended up with socks full of prickles. To add salt to the wound I didnt find the cache. To top it off when I got back to the car I opened a can of Coke in the drivers seat which sprayed all over the front of the vehicle.

Grabbed this on the way throughTFTC

On our Australian trip . After started for some days in Darwin we are on the road to Perth now .On the Road after Katherine we have seen Edith Falls, Kunnurra and Bungles Bungle. Finally we cross the Pentecost-river to enter the Gibb RiverRoad . A lot to see like Emma Falls, El Questro, Mitchel Falls, Manning Gorge, Galvans Gorge, Bell Gorge, Tunnel Creek and Windjana Gorge .Now return on the sealed road again . Further over Derby, Broome, Port Hedland, Karratha, Karijini NP, Exmouth and now down the coast to Perth .After Coral Bay, Carnarvan and Monkey Mia, we headed further on the road and stopped for this one .Doesn't liked this one, but finally got it .TFTC# 17'332

Quick park and grab while the family wondered around northhampton. Tftc

TFTC, found on our drive to Kalbarri

Fun find, lovely sign

Defiantly a bit of bush bashing involved

Still had to log a DNF a year after for me

Found it

Second for the day, tftc.

Woohoo!

Found with the kids. Look in the most obvious spot. GPs was a little out. Added a scribe.

Thanks for the cache found it.

Dont forget your closed in shoes, kids thumping through for the find

On the way back home we grabbed this little one. TFTC for the quick stop!Greetings from Germany!

Didn’t sign didn’t have a pen

Found it. Crape place to put it.

Why here? Not a great place in there to have it imo but ….. Be ready the bush bashing. Easiest entry from roadside. cheers.

First find of the day! Found with Redrobbin25. Tftc

Geraldton to Kalbarri
Camping at the caravanpark along the river side.
We stopped for a couple of caches along the way a detour to Port Gregory to see the pink lake.
Thankyou to the CO's for hiding this cache

Nice easy find and good opportunity to stretch the legs TFTC

The trip is making me think about re-imagining Australian history! Glad we detoured this way. Have travelled WEST from home base 3500 km away and that includes altitude as well so enjoying the landscape and habitat changes of this BIG country. TFTC and the lure to visit.

A nice easy pull over and a quick find here today while travelling from Geraldton to Exmouth with a caravan. Lucky for us at this time of the year the long dry grass is mostly trampled and is much easier to walk through than when the grass is thick and tall. TFTC

TFTC trackie 550

Today we are heading from Geraldton und Kalbarri with some stops to find some geocaches. This one was our second stop. Luckily I went to search this one myself without Little-Inegüxle accompaning me as a stumpled over a skeleton of a kangeroo when entering the bushes (and he really doesn't like dead animals).

Altough it was very clear when arriving at GZ, where the cache could be hidden, it took me some moments to find the wellhidden box.

Thanks for the cache and regards from Switzerland.

After a long journey north to watch the eclipse, I am now winding my way back home. This was one of the caches I stopped off at on the drive today on the drive down to Geraldton. Completely deserted here when I pulled the car in, so parked up right at the end of the bay and then headed down in the direction of GZ. Likely far more sketchy when the grass is high but today it was a simple walk I was soon at GZ and the cache was quickly spotted. No problems here today - TFTC

I am now informed that there is a cache around here.

Heading south after one mintue of moon shadow. This is one of stops on a long journey.

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

A great drive out here.
TFTC

Lucked out with a DNF today. The Wild Oats ended up above my head, need to come back with some sturdy boots, and a whipper snipper. We had a replacement container, but wasn't meant to be - still needs replacing. Until next time, NR!

Good find long grass

Enjoying exploring Northampton region. Quick find TFTH
Note container is damaged and log book is pretty wet.

We have made our way south, after a wonderful holiday up north.
Called into find this one, the cache container is in a rather sad state, broken in half and the log book is rather damp.
It definitely needs a replacement container
Thanks for sharing this informative location though the wild oats were shoulder height in some parts, making lots of noise to make sure no slithery things are in the way.

Hi there Miss-Placed. We began our trek back towards home today and came across this cache at 0304pm after having stopped in Northhampton for coffee (it's a fair haul from Carnarvon - the container needs maintenance and the log is damp. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to Miss-Placed for this cache - our find 8792 and the 1st of 1 finds for the day.

Cache is falling apart so put most of contents in a plastic bag. Quite an easy find. TFTC

Found it and like previously mentioned, it is in need of repair. Signed log and was on my way

Was a nice walkthrough, unfortunately was a bit water damaged and container was broken.

A great find by JRose26! The container is damaged though and not well hidden unfortunately.

Heading north for a 24 hour break, camping in the bush. Quick stop. Easy find and unfortunately we’re not carrying a replacement.

Found it but it’s broken

Found it but it’s been broken open and it’s now all wet 18/08/20

On the homeward leg of of week exploring the northern goldfields and midwest.
I got a FTF on a cache here a few years ago. I pulled over for this one as it is a regular size container. You don't see too many of those. The container however has perished and needs replacing.


This was find number 6 for the day.

Didnt dare to go in the high grass due to snake fear

Today our tour - which began in Perth, WA , and led us thru Western, Northern and Southern Australia back to Perth, was simply cruising from Geraldton to Kalbarri.


On the way we came to some interesting locations. Here we searched, found and logged this Tradi-Cache.

Weather was good in the morning and it should even get better during the day.

Thanks to 'beckNmonts & Miss-Placed & Gabs1963' for showing us this location, for the fun we had with 'An Informative Stop' and the smiley. The search here and today didn't take too much time, fortunately.

Took 1 TB direction N.

Greetings from Germany and we hope to see you soon in the forest.

Heading to Kalbarri & picking up a few caches on the way towards a Well Traveled & Aged Cacher Challenge. The Aged bit is making this a mammoth task. TFTC

TFTC nice easy find

A nice quick find on our way from oakabella homestead to Northampton.
Left a toy recorder but sadly there are no swaps worth taking. Tftc

TFTC

Nice find. Thank you

Fun quick find

Kids found this one easily

Thank you! Headed up to Kalbarri for a few days. Had this informative stop on the list of caches to find, as it is a particular distance from home and would help with a challenge cache I am working towards. Happy to stretch the legs and make the find.
