CIVILISATION - TECH SERIES - POTTERY Jarrahdale, Western Australia, Australia
By janssej & muskcat83 on 13-May-16. Waypoint GC6HNJX

Out and about again, after the CITO in Coolbellup, L1.77 and I headed to Jarrahdale and planning to do as much of the Civilisation Series for the rest of the day. In general it was a disappointing day of caching - many of the ones we looked for have disappeared in fires in the last couple of years. We only had a few spares to replace where we saw remnants of caches.Thanks to janssej for the caches we found.********** ********** ********** ********** ********** **********OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024********** ********** ********** ********** ********** **********Head over to Australian Capital Territory for Capital GeoBash MEGA - Canberras first ever Mega Event.

Heaps of challenge caches, hikes for geocaches for all levels of skills and fitness.

After hosting an event in Coolbellup in the morning, we hit the road to complete some of the Civilisation series. Thank you janssej for placing this cache for my enjoyment.Replaced with a mint tin as the cache has been decimated

Found it. TFTC janssej & muskcat83. Came back to this area to do a few more of the Civilisation series. Those with multiple DNF's were not visited. Most were reasonable good hides, some proved move difficult than others. There were a few that were in a fire and burnt or scorched. In general a good series, but just needs a little maintenance. All good here. thanks for putting them down. Happy to make the find here, replaced as found.

Once again the theme fits, nice easy find and theme cache is definitely a great protection of the log!

Headed out today to clean up some more of these numerous amazing Civs series. Hubby played the PC version of Civs for years and can picture exactly what each cache would be.... and wasn't disappointed!

Love the effort that has gone into each and every one of these..... always a fan of a themed series!

15th find of 39 with only 2 DNFs of the Tech series, looking forward to coming back for more!

Thank you muskcat83 and janssej for placing Civilisation - Tech Series - Pottery for us and others to enjoy!

Today I was in the forest to get a trailer full of fire wood (with Permit ) Driving out of the forest I took the opportunity to finally clear some of these caches.

It had been a while for a most of the finds, but the caches were generally in good condition. Lots of activity around some of the caches locations, but they remained in place

Thanks janssej for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 14:20:00. This was my Find 19 for today out of a Total number of 28 Finds and 3 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I signed the log and returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 5593.

Didn’t think I’d find it but I did woohooo

Out this morning with axell33 and after gathering a few in the area on a nice, cool day, compared to the heat wave we just suffered, we found this clever hide akin to its name. I also thought it was a great idea know the habit of the tree it was placed at and how quickly caches can be lost under there leaves! All well here! Thanks for the hide.

Working our way along this was our next stop. Once at gz a brief search turned up the cache, the host not only represent pottery but provides great protection. We made our mark on your log and returned your cache back to where we found it. Once again it’s always good to do a welfare check on one that hasn’t been found for awhile and pleased to say this one is doing just fine. Another favourite point coming up for the variety of hosts when I get a new batch. TFTC janssej and muskcat83.

Clever hide TFTC

Another trip out to this area for some more smileys. These series' never seem to end! But so glad it's a beautiful location. TFTC

The name says it all
TFTC

Will try again

I had to poke around with a stick a lot here from the sheoak dropping lots of needles. The motorbikes love it up here. I made the find a laughed at how fitting the cache was. TFTC

Today was my CIVILISATION series cache day. I had so much fun doing these but still have a lot more to do. I worked my way up the old Jarrahdale railway (fun after the last few days rain) before heading out to Balmoral Rd. Due to burn offs and fires a few have perished, some salvageable and others are pristine. I had 30 finds and nine frowns.

Found it. TFTC.

Another smiley for the map!

Out for a day of caching with SPIKE and Stan the geodog. Started early and got a few caches done in the civilisation series, with a couple of DNFs along the way.

Quick find this one TFTC

We headed out today to finish off the civilisation series and tackle the finales, our coordinates were jumping a bit but we still had a nice quick find here on a beautiful autumn day TFTC

Found it

Out and about in our new 4WD picking up some of the TECH SERIES.
TFTC janssej & muskcat83 this is find # 3493 for us.

Another easy find on this sunny day in civilisation country!

Day Thirteen of our holiday in Western Oz.
Bettyboo3747 and I went out to Jarrahdale to tackle the Civilization - Tech Series. We have never played the game, but now we can say we have done the geocaching version.
Lots of short walks and cleverly thought out caches.

Not sure that this item could transport anything - it is cracked in half.
Cache is fine though.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12747. Day 13 of our WA holiday and our 8th day based in Rockingham. Robmc and I decided to head East to Jarrahdale and do some of the Civilisation - Tech Series. We signed the first log at 9.25am and finished at 3.35pm - that is 6 hours with a lot of hard fought for smilies and a few DNF's. Our GPS'rs didn't want to cooperate today so quite often we were led on a merry dance.

Unfortunately this one is no long a pot - rather a few large pieces of a pot. Not sure when that happened. Rob was lucky not to cut his hand on the edges.

Thanks janssej

Visiting Western Australia for the WA Goes big Event with Ozhockeychick, Papilion4508 and Geoturtle37 and we decided to knock of a few of the caches in this series. TFTC

Found with OzHockeyChick, Geoturtle37 and Pinkpiggy7 on our trip to WA to attend the WA Goes Big 2017 event in Rockingham. Quick, easy find. Thanks for the cache and thanks for bringing us here.

1:51 pm #3723
Found during a huge road (air) trip to Perth for the WA Goes Big 2017 event, with Papillon4506, Geoturtle37 & Pinkpiggy7.
Thanks for placing this cache here for us to find. Cheers

Nice cache - clever.

Day two of our weekend away in Jarrahdale, spent tackling the Civilisation Series, this cache was another find on our long list Another find for Jase of a nicely themed cache!

Miss-Placed and I came down to meet Becknmonts for one last caching adventure before she ventures further afield. We headed off from Gero finding a few geocahes along the way, we stopped at Moora for Breaky and with quite a few laughs along the trip down, we got there

Our 3rd day of geocaching we went back to finish off one of the series we didnt finish yesterday, love these series definitely getting more than 30 min of excersize, nice, sun is finally coming out, then off to do some more geocaching in another area, got most done. Tftc

Could not leave this series for too long, we shot back amongst the thick of it today to finish up the last of it. Only one DNF for the whole series was pretty good going for us country bumpkins!

Thanks for a fantastic well thought out and very entertaining series.

Gabs1963 and Miss-Placed came down to meet up with me for one last caching adventure before I venture further afield. We decided to finish being civil to each other today (harder for some team members than others). We had a great morning caching, with only one DNF of the seriesI love the effort you have put into this series with interesting containers. TFTC janssej

Disturbed a "flock" of emus. Is that what you call a group of the flightless big birds? Or is more appropriate a gaggle? A battalion? With the noise generated I'll go with a crash of emus. TFTC.

A perfect day out in the hills to get back into geocaching a bit again with the Civilisation series.
Although I have never played the game we did enjoy the great variety of hides and admired the effort that had gone into this whole series.
We will definitely be back for some more smileys soon!

Gps a little jumpy but we found it quickly

With the staging of todays event, gave me the motivation and excuse to head down and make a start on this grand civilisation, with the main goal to tackle the tech series of hides

i spent the day tracking down a fantastic series of hides of great variety, all worthy of their now legendary status

Please to say to finish the day with 44 finds and one dnf

Great to meet the creators at the event and happy to award a favourite point for every find had today.

But this means I will have to do a hell of a lot more caching to restock the favourite points before returning and tackling the rest of the civilisation.

Tfts muskcat83 and janssej

Youngest geoson (Chickenhawk07) and I decided to head out early this morning to grab some of the civilisation series.

Nice quick find again. While geoson was sorting out the playlist

I can't wait to catch up with everyone again at
[WA GOES BIG 2017](https://coord.info/GC6TD11) in Rockingham, WA.
Perths big event is on again.
**See you there**.

janssej - Kyzabra found your cache CIVILISATION - TECH SERIES - POTTERY . The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing and maintaining your cache.!

Found it with dad

Still waiting for our friends so another cache found. TFTH.

Find 13 of 22 on our first visit to the Civilisation - Tech Series.

A great selection of cache hides and containers in a very quiet section of bush.

Quick find here. TFTC janssej

We headed south to finish this series while the weather was kind. Thanks for the cache.

Easy find here. TFTC

Quick easy find TFTC

Quick find on this great series. But i hate flies. Tftc

A nice quick find in this great series. Tftc

Hi there janssej.

We found your cache **"CTS-POTTERY"** at 3:59:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 14751.

We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route that is mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. Today was different though, we gave the "Civilisation - Technology" series a really good nudge. Unfortunately we ran out of time before we found them all, so will have to return another day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

We found 32 caches today & DNF'd 1. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found CIVILISATION - TECH SERIES – POTTERY. No trackables to trade TNLN SL TFTH janssej.

As it was forecast a fine day before this week's rain robbo56 and I decided to tackle this series , all in all we had a good day with 38 finds from the 41 we looked for . We found most fairly quickly usually within 3m of our GZ,.
TFTC

When Blingg asked if I would like to go and find a few caches around Jarrahdale I jumped at the chance to spend a few hours in the bush. It turned out to be a great day with lovely sunny weather and 38 caches found.
TFTS

TFTC... watered the pot for you

We left home in the rain and arrived at a sunny Jarrahdale. Great series guys, really enjoyed what I've seen today.

TFTC

Out and about with Mikirst to finish this series. very much enjoyed doing this series. Thank you for all your effort to put these out for us. TFTC

Another day caching with S'n'N and decided to hit this series and found 19 before we ran out of time. Will definitely be back to finish it!

Geokids did a maintenance run with Aunty JansseJ. Cache is in good condition.

Nice ride with the geodog t4tc

TFTC! Had a bunch of free time on a lazy Sunday so teamed up with Cravo10 to grab a bunch of caches in and around Jarrahdale.

We were originally heading to the CBD as there are a huge number of new caches that way but decided to head down to Jarrahdale.

Our main target today was the TEch Civilisation series after seeing some awesome reviews on the local geocaching Western Australia Facebook page.

We had a great day out starting by grabbing the Jlotos series on Shanley road, which were all nice simple grabs except one where we had to look for quite some time before slapping ourselves in the forehead. We loved the post cache, you'll see it when you get there, a huge effort from the CO to out together a nice well thought out cache.

Well the tech series certainly lived up to expectations, a hugely well put together series with an awesome variety of cache types and container types which kept us guessing for what was coming next. This series is a huge credit to the COs, and they deserve all of the favourite points coming their way (if people have enough in the bank!!)

We spent quite some time grabbing all of the caches, even had a couple of DNFs which is kinda good as we get to come back!! We metup with FErnando girls and Britt Girls (I think) at one of the caches, was great to finally put a face to the name and I think they liked the smile that came to my face when they told me about the difficulty they've had with some of my caches in the south Perth area.

We cannot speak highly enough of the caches in this series, I do hope that as time goes by that caches will support the COs in replacing logs as they become wet and full as there are a large number of micro and small caches in the series.

We now can't wait to tackle their other series how hard can it be? Which looks quite hard lol.

Thanks to all of the COs for their caches today we had an absolute blast and can't wait to come back to grab a few more. Thanks

Headed out with Barnzy12 today to go tackle the Civilisation Series in Jarrahdale.

The afternoon was a lot of fun and frustration at the same time.
like normal i was relying on B12 with the offline list and as such i rarely was using my phone, thus meant that all inputs to Co-ordinates were completed by Steve himself. After a phone a friend and realising that we had the correct coordinates we kept looking only to "soon" find out they were entered wrong and infant we were 145 meters away from GZ.

It did get better from there with all required Tools found and or bought with us to find the majority of the caches.

we did however have a few DNF's mainly due to the fact that the rain set in at the end of the day and we were more focussed on how to stay dry than on finding the cache. Turned out that we had been looking so long that we didn't realise how wet we got and gave up from then. It did pay off as when we got in the car the rain increased and on that note we called it a day.

All caches found were in good condition and replaced as found.

Out today with Mr Jackylegs44 - the fairer half of the team had to stay home and study (bummer) - but the weather was perfect for a day of caching, and we couldn't resist taking the opportunity to head off in search of unfound caches. Thanks for the smiley janssej

We found your cache great series realy enjoying it !

Thank you

Found this cache with Fernweh. Another great adventure thanks for the series.

circled a few times and searched another object, another one down.

I had been watching the Civilization series since it was first published, and with some banter in our cacher catch up group a date was set for today and all those without work/wife or otherwise commitments came along.

KrabiBoy, SVKR_WA, Granett and myself set out to tackle this series, and we started at the eastern end worked our way west.

The time and effort put into this series makes it an outstanding effort and one I recommend when asked whats good?

Thanks for the great series, excuse the late logging and generic logs.

TFTS
AlliedOz aka The Jokers

Hit up the 'Civilisation - Tech - Series' today with SVKR_WA, AlliedOz and KrabiBoy. We started at the eastern end and worked our way back towards Jarrahdale. Found the first one around 8:00am and were all done and dusted by 1:30 with no DNF's. Some of the hides were a little tricky and I loved the themed caches. We had a great morning with some light hearted banter thrown in here and there.

A quick find on this one by KrabiBoy.

janssej I found your cache at 11:40am, this was the 31st of 45 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3223. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

I have been itching to get out and complete this Civilisation series since it was first published, and it soon became the next target series.

I joined up with SVKR_WA, Granett and AlliedOz to tackle this series, and we started at the eastern end working our way west.

Another nice quick grab here.

TFTC janssej.

janssej, I found your cache CIVILISATION - TECH SERIES - POTTERY on 14/06/2016 at 11:39 AM.
This is my find #2682 and find #32 today.

Headed out today to complete the reminder of the Civilisation series.

Teamed up with Granett (with 2 T's), AlliedOz and KrabiBoy.

We started at the eastern end, heading west. Its was a fun day with lots of laughs, and plenty of taunts sent back to our other geobuddies who unfortunately were stuck at work.

A great day out was had by all.

*I spotted this one, signed log and replaced.*

TFTC

We had a fantastic day with prefect weather to complete this series with richlink, Everlasting, ILuvTrekking and the 3 dogs., This is definitely a MUST DO series. Thank CO for a fantastic series. FP

We have had this series listed on our agenda for a combined foray with iluvtrekking, Everlasting & JacobsCrew2. What an amazing day we reserved to head to Jarrahdale, perfect winters day. We combined into two 4WD's with geo-schnauzers and enough nourishment for a weeks camping. We had time for morning tea and lunch breaks and a lot of fun along the way as well as bumping into four other teams travelling in the opposite direction to us. Apologies for the generic log but there are not enough superlatives to cover 44 separate entries to describe what an awesome series this is. Congratulations to the CO's for the fabulous series and the work put into each of the 'themed' hides. Deserves a favourite point for each and every one which we are thrilled to award.

22568 found

Meet Richlink, iluvtrekking & JacobsCrew2 at Jarrahdale, then I ride the Richlink’s car with geo-schnauzers – admired your created and themed hides so excellent. We enjoyed every minute – search and signed the log… the weather was perfect for the day. Congratulations to muskcat83, janssej for wonderful job. [^] [^]

Thanks for organising the cache, janssej

What can I say but AWSOME!
We had so much fun bouncing along the tracks with richlink, Everlasting, JacobsCrew2 and the 3 dogs. The day was perfect in every way, this is definitely a MUST DO series.
Thanks janssej

Headed out today to make a start on this new series. I used to play this game on PC a few years ago, so understand the concepts of the Tech tree.

Loved the variety of containers, great for little and big kids alike.

A DNF Here today - a group of trail bikers had set up right at GZ.

TFTC

A great afternoon out exploring the area and Caching with our good friends the WA K team.
Beautiful Autumn afternoon. Great containers, Fun to see what was going to be next in this series.

Out for an afternoon's caching with "Tiger Rose WA OZ" after an enjoyable soup lunch at the Jarrahdale cafe / shop. We enjoyed the caches that we did and appreciated the effort put in by the CO's to make the caches interesting. We will be back to finish off this great series.

A relatively easy find by Mrs T.

Thanks for the cache janssej [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry .

This was find # 5 of 13 and 0 today giving us a total cache count of 3091.

Originally found under family caching name clan-wallace, now re logging under own name.

The sun was shining, the bushland pristine after the recent rains, and there goes another find. Left TB.
What a lot of work, and hopefully, fun, has gone into this series! TFTC!

It was becoming so much fun by this stage to try and guess the object or host that we may encounter next, and this one may seemed obvious, but was still a good surprise.

I am sure the attendees at WAGB 2016 will have loads of fun on this series.

Thanks for getting this one together and all your work, hope we do meet up at WAGB 16 next week, janssej

I agree with Megawat60 it added an extra element of fun to the day to try & guess what the next container would be, this one was simple, but I liked it & shall give it a fav for reminding me of a childhood TV show. Tftc

Hi there janssej - We found CIVILISATION - TECH SERIES - POTTERY today - our find # 3825. A quick find while out caching and in between showers. SL.Thanks to janssej for the cache.

Out for a caching run with ooh yeh. A total of 33 finds for us today so we will have to come back to finish the series.
Loved the variety of containers with some found much quicker than others.
We had a quick find here.
TFTC janssej

Headed out with Skippy 46 today to find as many of these caches as we could. We ended up finding 33 so we will come back and finish the rest on wednesday. The weather wasnt the best but we only got rained on a few times but the GPS played up a bit with all the cloud cover. Great variety of containers with a few that gave us a laugh and i must admit there was a few that had us searching for a while. TFTC janssej

I had started this series a couple of days ago and today was the day to claim the remaining smilies . We enjoyed exploring this area and the scenery was very nice. We had to do a bit of tree clearing after yesterdays storm too! Thanks for the effort involved in putting these out, I had an absolute blast. A great variety of containers and cache types

janssej - jinta29 found your cache CIVILISATION - TECH SERIES - POTTERY. This is my find #5258 and find #22 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

{*FTF*} with WebblyWA, at whatever time she recorded as I signed the log

Received a message last night from WebblyWA, asking if I wanted to go out and get as many of these new caches as we could. I thought, why not? I do love an FTF hunt

The coords for this one were very good, which made it a nice easy find. It was yet another different container, really loving the variation of the series.

Thanks for going to the effort of placing this cache and making this series

Quick find with this Peeted for this cache. TFTC

Decided to tackle this series with Happyjacks55 and had a very enjoyable and successful day. Found this one. TFTC

Joint FTF at 4.04pm with Maccasreps

Earlier finish today meant more time for caching so joined up with Maccasreps to continue the hunt.
Another nice quick find by maccasreps this time TFTC janssej

Found with Jk44,tftc.

Decided on a late night mission after seeing that supposedly some ftfs were still to be had. Armed with 2 torches we went on the mission and surprinsingly found them quickly in the dark.
