Nice quick find signed log and replaced as found TFTC Took the pathtag that TTM left, thank you
Dropped into GG on the way back from a class reunion in GTON and wanted to walk my geopup before hitting the heavy traffic. An easy find after making sure the nearby workers had their backs turned TFTC
Were back in Gingin again today. We spent the day at Bindoon yesterday and didnt leave ourselves enough time to check out Gingin so we decided to head back there for today, and Im glad we did. Spent a little time circling the right one, but cache was soon located. I took the pathtag that GHFB had left behind (thank you GHFB) and placed one of my own. Signed log TTM and replaced cache as found. TFTC.
Set out today to try and get a few caches. 48 finds, 4 DNF and a few DNA (due to size and location) later I am pooped. I finished on the bike track alongside the Tonkin on my e-scooter but quickly ran out of daylight and then my torch gave up. The ground in places was just too boggy to venture in (when I could see). Thank you to all the COs I have visited today.
Thank you! Heading to the IGD weekend in Jurien Bay via a long, indirect route. Happy to make the find here.
A short road trip to allow L1.77 to check on some of his cache in the Bindoon area. We spread our wings a little further than expected and included Gingin in the trip. A pleasant afternoon of caching
On an afternoon drive up to Bindoon to complete some cache maintenance. Swung by here to avenge a previous DNF. Super quick find today. I took the time to replace log with a new waterproof one for the CO today. Cheers Banksia12! 
Join me at the 10th anniversary of WAGB in Narrogin on Friday 2 June to Monday 5 June 2023. There’ll be plenty of geocaching fun to be had, I can’t wait to see you there!

To a good few laps to find it. Just when I was giving up grandma found it! Log was soft and soggy tho.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Continuing our daughter's driving education, although according to her she knows it all already...parked up nearby for the two ad lab locations and stuck our noses into some trees for this one. Took a couple of laps to make the find. TFTC!
A big day of caching was planned for today. Machman and I hit the road just after 6:30am, returning home 12hrs later. A full day of caching from Indian Ocean Drive, across to Gingin, Bindoon, parts of Julimar Road then down around Chittering. Over 70 finds and luckily only a handful of DNFs, and 1 FTF!
Thanks to all the COs for your efforts. TFTC.

Out with Spatial Riq on an 12 hour cache run, as part of the International GC day 2022 events, around Bindoon and chittering area. Big day picking up 80 smilies on the way.
Many thanks to all the GC owners who placed hides for hides for the weekend.

The Machman
Nearby structures and GZ didn’t seem to make sense when thinking of the title of this cache. No bison for us today.
I had a short time to gather a few caches in town. I looked at the options over lunch at a nearby cafe - a nice lunch too. I settled on this cache as the first of the group.
My GPSr initially pointed to open ground, but as I approached it pointed to other places - places plural, it seem to jump around a bit. So I tried all the nearby options. Nothing turned up.
Rather that spend all my limited geocaching time here I gave up and moved on. At least this gives me an excuse for coming back this way.

Plenty of possibe locations to hide a black bison but would not reveal itself today.
The Better Half and I were in the area doing the newly published caches and Adventure Lab. We stopped here to find this cache as well.The cache was found without problems. Log was signed and the cache returned as it was found.Thanks Banksia12 for placing this cache for us to find.
Because of a medical appointment Chwiliwr and I couldn't leave until more than an hour after the publication of the new caches in the area but decided to go for a drive after the appointment anyway. Between doing all the new caches and Adventure Lab we called in to find this cache.
Cache found without problems. Log signed and cache returned as it was found.

G’day Banksia12, unfortunately I wasn’t able to find your cache today (Saturday 23/7/2022). Cheers for the hunt anyway!
Out for the day with Wollaston taking advantage of the open borders.
Appears to be missing, cache replaced with similar size container until CO has opportunity to check.
Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

In the interest of keeping this cache alive and reading previous logs/DNF’s and a good search by ourselves using hints and tips from previous logs, I have replaced the container including a new log inline with the D/T rating until the CO has the opportunity to check out same. The new container is a black bison. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. I’ll leave the more interesting detailed log to Mrs Geo (aka: SeasonedBird, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird or Angry Bird) because she writes so much more eloquently than I and usually has much more time to do so while I’m driving. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC Banksia12

Unfortunately, we couldn’t find this cache today (21.04.2022) Thanks for the hunt anyway
No luck here. We did find some suitable hides fitting with the hint but all of them were empty. Seems to be gone...

Lovely bit of history in a quaint town. Well worth a leg stretching spot. Tftc
My first geocache find. Favourite colours black and red. Put in a new log as other is full.
Found with Fury_0_0 - There's nothing like introducing people to the world of Geocaching and seeing the excitement when they find their first cache
After an overnight stay in Badgingarra it was time to meander my way home picking up a few smilies along the way.
Thought I might be in for a lengthy search here but spotted the container after only a couple of minutes.
Banksia12 I found your cache at 11:40am, this was the 7th of 8 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 6690. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Tpok us a little while as my app didn't want to work properly. But we soon found it. Tftc
Staying in Bindoon for a couple of days so time to pick some geocaching again. We always call in at Gingin for a coffee at the local outlet but we had to find this cache first. Well it was this time the first spot I looked . Tftc Banksia12.
Stopped in to Gingin on our way through to Perth. Love this little town, and remember always enjoying the pretty drive through on our trips up north. It's a real shame that the main road now completely bypasses the town. The cache was easy to locate in a nice hidey spot. Thanks Banksia12 for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
Had a great chat to the local shire worker who was disinfecting the play equipment. Nice hide - thanks for placing it
TYFC, lilshroom is on fire! She can't stop finding them ahahaha! The best

As I came to GZ, I thought that it would be difficult to look in it but found it easy. TFTH
I did 'swing by the road board' today and was very happy to find this geo whilst here. TFTC
Having been on the road for the past few hours picking up the nearby Road to Gingin series, I headed into town for a refreshment break and to pick up the two caches here. Unfortunately the other was a DNF but was pleased to make a nice quick find here to redeem myself. Area completely deserted so no problems pulling the car up and quickly making the find. First time in Gingin; amused that the police station is on Constable Street Late Sunday arvo so nothing seems to be open which is a shame... although also means I'll have to make another visit No problems here - TFTC
Late Sunday arvo so nothing seems to be open which is a shame... although also means I'll have to make another visit No problems here - TFTCHi there Banksia12. While out on the road today we found this cache after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. Most caches found today wer found quickly although several beat us for a time. It was a great day with 37 finds and no DNF's. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to Banksia12 for this cache - our find 7888
Quick side trip on our way to the Observatory. Quick find here thanks to previous logs. TFTC
