Thank you. We nearly gave up

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Back in WA to visit family and work Grain Harvest. Currently staying in Goomalling while we wait for the crops to be ready. [^] Today we headed out to explore Dowerin, Minnivale and Wyalkatchem using Geocaching as a guide.TFTC WebblyWA

Pretty quick find here! Thank heavens for small hands and arms!TFTC

Found on our way through Wylie!

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 72 - Wyalkatchem to Westonia via Trayning, Nungarin and Merredin. Today I was back at heading to new Counties. I stopped at as many of the roadside caches as I could. I did a few cemetery multis. When I reached Merredin, it was time to do some Labs alongside some great caches around town. I was happy to get off the main road and head towards Westonia where my afternoon was split up by a few different activities before cooking dinner at the van. I'm heading back west on a new row of counties north of the past few.I did the entry artwork on the way into town yesterday, and today I was able to us that information to make a quick, but a bit more difficult find here.Thanks for the cache WebblyWA48338.4 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & February 2022 Don't be a Packrat A#485**Albida**

Not a quick find, but a systematic search had it narrowed down to a likely location. Yep, very nice! Thanks for the cache!

A caching trip from Canberra, ACT to Cape York, Qld and then around the gulf to East Arnhem Land, NT then over the top of WA and down to Perth.Interesting detours to Thursday Island, Mabuiag Island, Mornington Island, Doomadgee, Hells Gate, Nhulunbuy, Wadeye, Litchfield National Park, Wyndham, the Gibb River Road, Monkey Mia, Meekatharra, Wiluna, Laverton & Warburton.TFTC. Nice hide. Was just where I thought it might be. Just had to find the right one.

Went for a drive in the wheatbelt with Caperdoodle1. Tftc

Found after touching all the places. Caperdoodle 2 and I found this one on our Wheatbelts wander.

Took the smaller boned person of the group to grab this one. TFTC WebblyWA

I had a hint from a previous finder whilst at an event in Koorda last night, so was able to make a quick find of the cache on a return visit today. Glad to turn blue to yellow. Tftc

No luck on this one even after a lengthy search......

No here today even after a thorough search, TFTH!

No luck here today. Time to move on. Thanks anyway

Thort this was going to be quick and easyLeft BLOOD everywhere, including myself and machineryAnother day maybe

DNF and got a fright when my arm got stuck. Will have to come back.

Found on a trip to the west from South Australia., visiting friends and relatives, checking out the sites and finding caches of interest along the way.

The weather has been really good since I headed north of Perth. There has been no rain and the winds haven’t been too bad. Makes a welcome change from the previous 3 weeks when I was constantly beating my way into strong winds and it rained almost every night! I hope it holds out for the next couple of weeks as I head south end east on my way home.

The cache was found in good condition. However there was no sign of the associated piece of equipment/machinery but the number was on the logsheet.

Thanks WebblyWA for the cache.

On a road trip around the wheatbelt areas of Western Australia for a few weeks. We are enjoying the many friendly towns along the way, whether staying in the CP’s or camping out. So far, we have found every cache that we have looked for, and hopefully our streak will last as we move around to the next town and beyond. Thank you so much to the CO’s of every cache for placing them for our enjoyment. They certainly bring you to many spots that you might not stop at otherwise.

Bit of limb elasticity came in handy. TFTC

Sir Fancy made the find here.

On a camping trip with a pile of like minded geocachers. We headed out today for a run around the area. Tagging along was Granett, Kyzabra, AlliedOz, Sit Fancy, Cirrus, and The Fitzys.
As usual when we get together, a fun time is had with much banter and laughs.

WebblyWA SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache Wylie Travels - Elevator today at 10:19:26 9 Oct 2021. This brings my find count to 5015

Thank you WebblyWA for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!

Out caching with Granett, Kyzabra, AlliedOz, Sir Fancy, Cirrus, and SVKR_WA after staying at the nearby byo marshmallows event.

Found quickly between us. Thanks for the hide.

Destination Minnivale and what has become a tradition of sorts... BYO Marshmallows number V. Some fun with friends around a camp fire sharing some drinks, some hint, some tall stories and plenty of laughs.

Day two off with 3 car out on the road picking up caches here and there.
I'm with Kyzabra, the fitzys, Granett, Cirrus_WA, SVKR and sir fancy

A day caching in Northam, Meckering, Cunderdin, Tammin, Kellerberrin and Merredin, before heading around through Nungarin, Kununuppin, Trayning, Yelbeni and Wyalkatchem to the event in Minnivale. Weather was glorious and it was a DNF free day. Caching at its best. Thanks for your contribution to a great day.

Out and about in the Wheatbelt racking up the km on the car.

Quick find. A mirror image of the cache on the other side of town! Cheers WebblyWA!

Whew thought this was going to be like the last one. So happy to have my hands on it relatively quickly TFTC

Nice quick find. Out and about on our 2nd day of a nine day adventure TFTC

Find 10 of 16 on day 5 of our road trip which today finished in a blur of new LGAs, taking us up to 83 finds and about 2700km covered.

Got the right idea straight away but was "off by one" until going round again for a second look.

TFTC WebblyWA!

Having found this cache’s counterpart we had a good idea where to look, but missed it on the first pass. Found it when I rechecked. TFTC

Wednesday, not sure of the date, maybe 16th?.
Was a quick find suprisingly for early freezing cold morning.
Back in our home town visiting friends and familys. Left a few caches to find on our next visit. TFTC

On our way back through Wyalkatchem, second cache we couldn't locate

Second dnf on machinery today

Thanks for the memories WebblyWA; cranking these babies up was always a hoot back in my youth (too many years ago). All good here.

Exactly where I expected to find it thanks

Had to read some previous logs and used my phone to confirm the cache location, just managed to grab all the pieces as it was open and scattered.

After signing I put everything back together and where it belongs.

——-

After conferring with the boss I organised for a leave pass for the weekend, that got extended for a second night, and headed out to the Wheatbelt to join fellow caches.

Day 3 started slowly but got fast quickly, I packed down the tent and loaded up the car before joining a group heading to the top of Kwolyin Rock to grab the cache before hitting the road.

With the slower day Friday this was going to be the big drive day picking up as many LGA’s as possible, I ended the day with 7 new LGA’s bringing the weekend total to 12 ticked off my list and getting closer to my 100 LGA’s by the end of the year.

——-

Thanks WebblyWA for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 2261 for me.

Taking the long, pretty way home today and spent far too long on this one, looking in the least obvious spots. Wasp nest... Phew, empty! No, that's not it...... Aaaah, there it is. Thanks for the hunt.

Out and about in the Central Wheatbelt area this weekend on a mission to grab some missing LGA's. After 1200 odd K's, 43 finds, a few DNF's and two nights under the stars, it was mission accomplished.

This one took longer than it should, had to read back on a few logs to narrow down the search zone. Had to be at my rubbery best to get hold of the log book though.

WebblyWA I found your cache at 9:02am, this was the 4th of 21 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 5879. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

After two surgeries in the last two months, then getting bad news about more plus getting things done at home I thought it was time for a short getaway to recharge the mind so Mr dimor chose the location for a change and that happened to be Dowerin for three nights

Today was our day to 'spread our wings' a little and head to Wylie to cache.

Had to get Mr dimor to get this one as little me couldn't reach

A quick find

TFTC

Found while visiting from Canberra. I was about to give up but my non-caching wife got out of the car , reached in and grabbed it. TFTC

Good fun

This weekend has been some time in the planning and we were heading up this way to drive the Wheatbelt Way Trail and collect geocaches along the route. We also had GCA caches, Waymarks and Sighters on the radar which should break up the trip nicely. We had no set plans for accommodation and we decided that we would see where we ended up each day to set up camp. This cache was one that we targeted on our mini adventure. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there WebblyWA, I was in this area today and found your cache Wylie Travels - Elevator GC691M2. I added my name to the log book at 11:09 am on 28 September 2019. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

This cache find brings our total find count to 10965. Woohoo!!

Found and noted clue.
On a little road trip gathering some LGAs.
TFTC WebblyWA this is find # 6920 for us.

Hi there WebblyWA.

We found your cache **"Wylie Travels - Elevator"** at 11:23:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 22334).

We are heading from SA to WAGB in Northam & we stopped off in Dowering on the way through. Now that we've settled in a nearby caravan park we have taken the opportunity to head out and find some of the caches we had couldn't have done with a caravan in tow.

We found 10 caches today & DNF'd 0. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic travels around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Similar to one I had done recently. Enjoying my drive around all the sights of Whyle.

Happy Australia Day! What better way for a cacher to celebrate our national day than to pick up some great Aussie caches. While passing through Wyalkatchem with ilook4geo, we decided to have a go at this little Wylie Travels series. This cache was a more difficult one to find, however, when it was located the log was signed and the info for the final was noted. Thanks go to WebblyWA for placing these caches and featuring different points of interest in the town.

Hot and windy for Australia Day, but not too bad. Out caching with goingplaces2 and we had a fairly good day. All found caches had logs signed and were put back properly before we left. TFTC.

Found the others in town no worries. Spent a long time looking for this one with no luck ?
TFTC

Donned the gloves and made quick find. Thanks WebblyWA

Had already risked life and limb on the other side of town so knew exactly what I had to do. Therefore, a quick find on such impressive structures. TFTC

This took us longer than it should have, really must learn not to over think things! TFTC!

Day 72 of our 366 day straight challenge. Camping with the fam in Wyalkatchem and getting our cache on.

Once again, a nice easy find thanks to the hint. Clues noted, log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

We had a free day and the weather was perfect so decided on a short caching trip to Koorda. Thanks for the cache WebblyWA we had fun looking for it.

Out for a couple of days caching, with the Geoson in the northern wheatbelt. Hopefully knocking off a few more lga's off the list.

Despite the weather, some fantastic finds and a few dnf's were had.

A big thanks to all the co's for placing and maintaining these hide. Great work showing off some real gems of the wheatbelt.

Found this cache on our way to the OZ Geo Muster at Morisset NSW.

Phew..... after not finding the last one on this piece of machinery I was so glad we made a quick find.

thanks

Ian & Sue - Team Pathfinder uses T.P. to sign smaller logs.

Well it’s now day 14 of our Northern adventure , now more Eastern adventure as we head south of the Great Eastern Hwy with m4yb, Jonathan the camper trailer and Max the GeoUte.
We move on to our next stop in Wyalkatchem.
Got it in the end. Sneaky hide
Thanks for the smiley WebblyWA

Avoiding the rain in Perth we headed out for a day trip around the wheatbelt, finding a few caches along the way... I made the quick find here, I wonder why

TFTC WebblyWA [^] Cache was in good condition.

Dont be afraid to put hands in where you cant see them worth the wait

Well talk about a delay in logging! Time has just flown by since I undertook this awesome LGA weekend with PommieParkin. Due to the delay, you will have to excuse the generic log.

PP2 enquired as to whether I would like to go on an adventure to get some more LGA's under our belts, to which I said of course! Set out on the Saturday to head up into the Wheatbelt for the weekend. We first stopped at Northam to do one or two of the Bristag caches I had heard so much good things about. Unfortunately we only managed one, but it did not disappoint!

From there we headed east through Meckering, Cunderdin and Tammin (knocking off a couple of LGA's). From there, we headed north to Wyalkatchem, stopping at a couple of interesting places for caches. I particularly enjoyed the stop at Yorkrakine Rock, it was such a beautiful spot.

We finally reached Wylie, where we were staying the night. Before the day was over we completed the wonderful series by WebblyWA, which gave us a great tour of the town. Once the caching was over, we met up with WebblyWA at night and had the pleasure to experience a drive-in cinema in Koorda, which was conveniently another LGA

On the Sunday, we finished off the caches we had on our list in Wylie and headed west towards Dowerin, where WebblyWA had another series. It was another great series and the final ended up being my 1000th cache found!

From there, we kept heading west to Goomalling for another LGA. This was where our LGA hunt was meant to stop. But, it was here that the LGA bug got to me and it became a case of "well if we just travel half an hour this way, we can get another LGA". So after little time spent convincing PP2, we headed north to Wongan Hills, stopping in Konnongorring for some great views at Gabby Quoi Quoi. Unfortunately, Wongan Hills cemetery was where we had our first DNF of the weekend, meaning our hopes of another LGA were riding on the one other cache in town. Luckily it was an easy enough find.

We then headed west towards Calingiri for one last LGA, stopping to admire Lake Ninan on the way (can't believe there isn't a cache there!). The cache in Calingiri was found, putting my total of LGA's found on the weekend to 8.

I had such an awesome weekend exploring this part of our great state. Many thanks go to the various CO's of the caches. But, I would particularly like to thank PP2 for suggesting the weekend, WebblyWA for some great series and Kyzabra for coming up with the LGA challenge, without which I probably wouldn't have explored this great area.

The C.O.said I would have trouble reaching it & she was right. TFTC Webby

TFTC

Easy find. An extra joint in your arm would help this

WebblyWA i searched the elevator inside and out, up and own and did not find a cache anywhere. Spent about 15 mins and no luck.

Awesome thanks

Thank you! I had been talking to my dad last week about a recent day trip Geocaching, when he asked me if there were any out near his hometown. After showing him the map, and watching him study it for a while, I asked if he was interested in heading on a road trip with me. So today we headed off, with the only goal being to check out Baandee lake after the February rain.
Didn't take too long to find this one, but hint helped.

I was so scared to put my hand unknown places.. i needed to ask help from my partner. Cache OK!

Headed back up to Geraldton for another caching run (third time this year). We started off by picking up as many caches as we could in the wheatbelt on the first day before arriving in Geraldton. The next day we headed up to port Gregory and Kalbarri and the highlight of the day would have to be be the pink lakes in port Gregory. Day 3 saw us caching in Geraldton picking up some we missed last time and clearing up a few of our DNFS here before adding some more DNFS to the list. Day 4 we headed off to mount magnet picking up some caches along the way till we arrived there. I must say the caches in mount magnet were quite tricky to find and it was also a stinking hot day so we didn't get to find all the caches we were hoping to find there. The last day we cached along the coast on the way home. Once again it was stinking hot and we missed doing a lot of the caches we hoped to find plus the flies were driving us crazy but we still got to visit some great places. Most of the caches we looked for we did find and we came across some very sneaky well made cache containers along the way. Thanks to all the CO,s for placing there caches for us and all the other geocachers to find.

TFTC small hands help

Felt every nook and cranny, acted like tall people, almost blown away by the wind, but had to give up. There are none so blind....... Thanks anyway and the Coffee Pot liked the history...

First spot I looked [^]
Cheers

Touring around the wheat belt looking for orchids, we stayed at Mangowine Homestead and explored the area. Now we are meandering around and heading for Minnivale today. This was a good leg-stretch stop and an easy find in an interesting spot. TFTC

Day 3 of our Wheatbelt trip. We covered 1260 km and found 61 caches.

This trip out had been a long time in the planning.
Krabiboy and I had hatched a plan and probably changed it about 10 times. dallyho joined us, final plans were set, and off we went

We had initially planned to cache Wylkatchem but our navigator had a football game to get to so we grabbed one so the CO knew we had visited (ever so briefly) her town. We will be back.

WebblyWA - Kyzabra found your cache Wylie Travels - Elevator . The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Kyzabra and I came up with a plan to come to the northern wheat belt and clear up as many caches as we could. We left early Friday morning and stayed overnight in Bencubbin.

Saturday saw us head towards Beacon, Wialki and Bonnie Rock and staying in Mukinbudin on Saturday night.

Only had time for one cache in Wylie today, so made sure it was a quick park and grab. Nice entry to town here, look forward to coming back and clearing up the rest of town.

TFTC WebblyWA.

WebblyWA, I found your cache Wylie Travels - Elevator on 7/08/2016.
This is my find #2945 and find #9 today.

Early start at the end of Kyzabra, krabiboy and mine adventure of the Wheatbelt Way. Grabbing a few more caches in different regions on our way home. Has been an awesome trip with many kms, finds, archive finds and heaps of banter. Pretty easy find here. Got the clue and hopefully one day get back for the rest. Tftc WebblyWA

What a wonderful welcome to a towne I have heard the name of so many times and always wanted to visit
Just because it is such a funny name
And I'm sure Wyalcatchemites will not mind me saying that [^]

At the eastern gateway to this must visit towne,
I was greeted by one of the most impressive "Welcome To" structures I have seen [:o]
Me spirits were elevated !!

And with high hopes of a cache find,
I was soon dipping me paw into some likely hiding places
And a cache was found !!

TFTC and welcome !!

Tftc SL

Found this surprisingly easy. Had my doubts as I fronted up.
TFTC

Wow, a great entry statement!

Hi there WebblyWA - We found Wylie Travels - Elevator today - our find # 3715, while out and about on a lightning tour of the Northern Wheatbelt. The cache was found quickly and the container and log are in good condition. Thanks to WebblyWA for the cache.

Found it

Doing a run through the wheatbelt to pick up some new caches placed since I did a run a year or so ago. This is the first time I have done a "Multi-Mystery" so we'll see how it goes. This was the second stage for me, as I came in from the south. Nice easy find at 10:45 this morning, TNLNSL. TFTC WebblyWA

TFTC! Found on a day trip to the Wheatbelt to grab a bunch of caches and enjoy the countryside. At a quick look; around 12hrs driving for 900km, 29 finds, couple of DNFs.

Was a great day out, attended wyalcatchems first geocaching event, found a bunch of archived caches that were still in place and mostly in good condition. Saw some wonderful sights (see pics in logs). Thanks to all the COs.

Met up with Barnzy12 after a long days driving..
Going to start a new job and working things out with B12 to have the same days off.
I think there will be more long drives like this to come. TFTH TFTC

Today we were heading to Toodyay to visit relatives, but with two FTF in our sites we decided on a 'Slight' Detour, After finding the first FTF we picked up this along the way.
I had a surprisingly quick find here, due to having experienced geocaching on large metal objects. Thanks for bringing me to this out of the way town its very neat and tidy.

Interesting bits of farm machinery... I read the hint, did what was suggested, and made the find! SL, noted clue, one more to go! TFTC and the interesting facts about this town.
