We are on the road travelling up through central Australian and down the coast of WA .Geocahcing has taken us to so many great places in this beautiful country.I was happy to grab a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

Its amazing to see so much history out this way and how people lived and survived, in tough times. An very interesting piece of history. A quick find with the hint.

Thanks Kyzabra for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Heading back to Kal after a day of caching and exploring. We stopped to grab this cache which was a nice quick find. We added our names to your log book and returned your cache back to its place of hiding. The building was open so we had a little explore before hitting the road. This is our last one for now. TFTC Kyzabra.

Completing a day trip from Kalgoorlie with the muggle hubby and geo kids. Hubby has been happy 4wdriving and exploring whilst we are happy to collect a few caches along the way. One of our last finds of the day before heading back to Kalgoorlie. Thanks for placing the cache as with all the caches found today it has lead us to some Interesting spots that we wouldn’t have stopped at if not for our two passions of 4wdriving and caching. Tftc

Catching up with very late logs.

After a great trip along the Canni9ng Stock route and then visiting friends in Gerald ton it was now time to start heading home, of course stopping along the way to pick up any caches that appeared on the screen.

This was the last cache for the day and it turned out to be quite an interesting one. It's hard to imagine this town in it's heyday when you look at what's left here now. The relics around the area show that it once was very prosperous but unfortunately like all things good they have to come to an end. With no one around we headed directly to the cache and located it in the second place we looked even though it was the first place we looked just from a different angle. After adding our name to the log we went for a wander around this nice old building before heading off to camp.

Thanks Kyzabra for this cache.

We have travelled from A (our home in SW of WA) to B via the Savannah Way with a two week unexpected detainment in Mackay which has set us back, now sadly travelling back to A via the Outback Way from Winton through to Laverton thought we'd do it before it's completely sealed Smile

After spending the night in Laverton and a quick visit to Gwalia we were on our way to Kalgoorlie finding a few caches as we slowly go.
A bit hard to bend down with my dickie knees so a TOTT help locate the cache

Great spot, unsure about the previous log, all ok with the cache

Had a trip out to The historic ghost town of Gwalia planned for some time now and with the wife keen to check out some of the ghost towns and various ruins throughout the goldfields it was sure to be a great trip.

We travelled to Kalgoorlie and then upto Gwalia where we stayed at Hoover House, which is the old mine managers house for the sons of gwalia mine and offered great views of the pit.

We took a day trip out to Laverton and Leinster with a small detour to grab a few caches along the great central road. After our detours from Leonora we dropped back into Kal and down to Esperance for the last night of our trip.

A great trip away and thanks for all the caches along the journey. Thank you to the COs for their caches.

Leaving WA, today we travelled from Kalgoorlie to Leonora.

Before we could leave though we decided to head out and find a cache to show we had been in Kalgoorlie. That's when Mr Felix noticed that there was a cache out there waiting for a FTF.

Still took us 30mins to finish packing and load the GPSr. Stopped here with the caravan on tow. No problems with this one.
