Making the most of this magnificent winter's day by grabbing a few bushland caches. This was one I found on my hike. Tftc

Last one in this trail. GG

Well hidden a bit off track TFTC

Another one for the day

There is a pet-rock in the cache that could do with a new home. TFTC.

Took the day off work to celebrate my birthday by trail walking and caching.
Such a beautiful day with good weather to be out searching in the bush.

Scared off about 5 kangaroos as I was walking towards the cache. Cache in good condition. TFTC

Out enjoying a lovely spot on a beautiful day for caching. We stopped for this one and made a nice quick find. We added our names to your log and returned your cache back to where we found it. TFTC Perth Hills Armadale Visitor Centre.

Caching up here with axell33 on a beautiful winters day and enjoying the walk. A quick find here with all well. We did notice that its ftf was exactly 7 years ago today! Thanks for the cache PHAVC.

Woohoo! Love geocaching! Nice easy find

Apologies for the generic log but spent a great morning wandering through this area. Thanks to the Perths Hills Armadale Visitor Centre for maintaining these caches. All the coordinates were spot on when my phone settled. It was a quiet walk along very good trails/gravel roads..Saw 1 walker and 1 jogger towards the end. All caches and logs were in excellent condition. tftc

Hopefully a quick walk through here this morning, quick find, cache is in good condition,TFTC

Lovely day out for a hike. Tftc

Easy

TFTC. Loving the dinosaur hides.

I grabbed these 3 caches whilst doing the SCW series nearby. All is well with this one.

Thanks for the series Perth Hills Armadale Visitor Centre

GPS tried to trick me but I won in the end

Finally a day without rain means that I can go out and get some caches.
This is such a beautiful area. The wild flowers are just beginning to make an appearance.
Found without issues.
Thanks for the hide PerthHillsArmadaleVC

I went walking here today and replaced the container with a new one and removed the old container. I also took the mint tin - though on hindsight I should have left it for someone else, but it will become a future cache. The log book was quite dry and usable, so was left and not replaced.

As mentioned lid is destroyed. I had a mint tin on me so I placed the log in that. Should survive for a bit. TFTC

TFTC “Gotta Cache em All”

Lid damaged, book saturated, unable to log

Second find for the day. Added a trinket- took nothing.

Another fun kid friendly find, thank you. This container lid is a bit cracked so we've placed it upside down to try and keep it dry.

Teamed up with Photo-Play today for a couple of hikes around Bedfordale. A very pleasant walk here with still plenty of wildflowers around. Thank you for the cache Perth Hills Armadale Visitor Centre.

Found it. TFTC Perth Hills Armadale Visitor Centre. Out roaming the countryside with papillon367. We decided to try our luck with this series. Great walk through this area.

Came out to no 3 first and found easily

Out and about doing a bunch of caches in Armadale today. Quick find here TFTC

Headed SOR today with the specific intent of walking around Settlers Common and picking up this series of caches. Had a very enjoyable time here today with the geohound; didn't see any muggles but did see plenty of roos It threatened to rain the whole time I was here but thankfully it held off and I could explore this lovely area of bushland without getting soaked All caches were located quickly and all are in good condition. Great paths here too. No problems with any cache, all were easy finds TFTC

Out for an early morning walk, collecting a cache or two! Beautiful winters day, stunning bushland. All caches in excellent condition!

Had a great time walking in this area. All caches found no problem. Tftc

Nice dog walk and caching. TFTC

Completing the Settlers Common caches this was the next find on our trip around the tracks... There were plenty of options of where this one could be, but I located the prize after a systematic search

Wandering in the bush looking for Settlers Common caches. Parked at the suggested parking and picked up the 3 Central caches.

Thanks PerthHillsArmadaleVC for the cache.

Another great cache. Thanks for the trail. We never knew this area was here.

This time my phone made the right decision first time.

I hadn't visited Bedfordale for several years and with a few hours to spare I thought I would challenge myself to see how wuickly I could complete the SCC series. I made an early start just after dawn and parked at the end of Settlers Road. Most were found quite quickly, with only a couple being a little bit more of challenge. I was pleased to see that all were in good working order. A great little walk in this patch of nature. TFTC Armadale Visitor Ctr

Doing the settlers common area! Nice and close to home! Just a great walk in the bush!
Easy find! Found straight away! Didn't even have to really look for it! Hid it a bit better!

Yay!

I wanted to get out and stretch the legs so decided to pick a nice series of caches in the hills to complete. The Settlers Common West and a few others in the area were selected. It was trying to rain while out on the trails but didn't really stop me. All the caches were found in good condition. This was find number ten of fifteen for the day. Many thanks Armadale visitor centre for the series of caches.

TFTC

Had to use a bit of cache sense to locate this one.

TFTC three from three

I hit up the regular caching crew as the wife was out of town, the kids in school and me on holidays.

KrabiBoy was the only one able to heed the call this Friday, after shelving our original plans for a big day we decided this small loop would be fine for our 30 a day exercise.

Found all the caches today with little trouble, a pleasant walk in this area with a nice loop of caches to keep us interested.

Thanks for placing this cache out here and getting us out and about.

AlliedOz aka The Jokers

AlliedOz messaged to say we had put aside today to head out and grab a few smilies, so we picked out this series and made a morning of it.

Allied grabbed this one after a few minutes of searching.

Armadale Visitor Ctr, I found your cache SCC 03 Armadale's Trails - Settlers Common Central on 31/3/17.

Hunting with the family, TFTC : )

Hi there Armadale Visitor Ctr - it was time that I started these three series of caches and even though today was hot I decided on these three caches. All were found easily and each cache was signed. This is my find #4237 - thanks to Armadale Visitor Ctr for this cache.

After dropping FlyingPigSquadron off at the airport we decided to continue on our way and Cache Armadale. We had a wonderful time, the weather was perfect and the caches interesting.
Thanks Armadale Visitor Ctr, for your cache.

Easy find. Tftc

Quick find TFTH

Originally logged under family name of clan-wallace now slowly transitioning to new name

Teamed up with Clan-Wallace, megawat60 and m4yb on this lovely cool Sunday morning to take a stroll through the Armadale Settlers Common and collect some smilies. All caches were found quickly. Wildflowers are still in bloom and we all enjoyed the nice tracks in this lovely piece of bushland.

TFTC

Plans were made to meet up with M4yb, Sir Megawatt 60 & Me & B to make an assault on the Settlers Common circuits. We did not think it a good idea to go on Saturday as temperatures of 35 degrees were forecast, it was a good decision as the mercury actually reached 39 yesterday . Today was a much more comfortable 26 degrees & we thoroughly enjoyed our gentle walk through this beautiful bushland. The spring flowers are still looking good & the call of the Black Cockatoos was a delight. TFTC
We signed the logs MMMCW to save time & space

So today, Clan Wallace, Me&B, megawat60 and self had an enjoyable walk through this pristine bit of bushland.
This time it was Me&B's turn to make the find.
I am one of the M's in our joint log signature.
TFTC Armadale Vistor Centre!

Number 3 off the list and another nice easy find and lovely walk with Me&B, M4yb and Clan-Wallace, signing as MmmCW!

Thanks for the hide in this lovely well kept bit of natural bushland Armadale Visitor Ctr.

Spent 2 hrs wandering around these great trails with K.B. Thanks for creating these series.

pulled up behind another vehicle to wander to 01, 02 and 03. Not sure whether they were cachers but they had three young kids one of whom was screaming so we headed straight off to log three quick finds. Thanks for the caches.

Spent an enjoyable couple of hours in the area tackling 2 of the Armadale Trail Series. A lovely walk amongst the kangaroos, kookaburras and beautiful wildflowers.

TFTC Armadale Visitor Ctr this is find # 1402 for us

Out with richlinks and everlasting for a day of caching...TFTC

Enjoyed accompanied with Richlink and JacobsCrew. The weather didn't so bad - no rain phew!.
It was good fun and bushland - pretty wild flower - saw some kangaroos laydown and watch us doing.. [^][^]

Thanks Armadale Visitor Ctr for organising the cache and hunt [^]

Decided to take a chance with the weather after yesterdays atrocious state. Although overcast, grey and a bit chilly it was perhaps the perfect day to tackle the Armadale Tails series. All caches found without a problem and enjoyed the stroll with Everlasting and Jacobscrew. Thanks Armadale Visitor Ctr

We decided to head to this neck of the woods to grab some of the caches in this area and do some exploring. It was fun cruising around this area and we had a blast. TFTC .

Armadale Visitor Ctr - jinta29 found your cache SCC 03 Armadale's Trails - Settlers Common Central on 3/09/2016, 11:54 AM. This is my find #5691 and find #3 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

I must admit, that this type of caching is my favourite. A nice brisk walk on a natures tail, caches hidden in reasonable distance from a trail with not too much bush bashing involved. Unfortunately weather wasn't with us this time, so during this walk Mistraluna and I were getting absolutely soaked. Like dripping wet. But that wasn't gonna stop us. Thank you Armadale Visitor Ctr for bringing us here. Not thanking the Rain King though and if I recall this right, that was the cache where he really tested our passion for caching. We won.

Eliktrisiti and I decided that a little bit of rain wasn't going to deter us from tackling some of the bush caches in the Armadale hills area before the weather got too warm. Others thought we were crazy, but we donned our wet weather gear and ended up having a really great day of it. This was the first of the walks we had planned for the day, and we really enjoyed the walk around the tracks, spotting early wildflowers and enjoying the antics of the red-tailed black cockatoos that seemed to be everywhere today. All caches were found without too much trouble, even in the rain. Thanks for placing and maintaining this series for us to enjoy Armadale Visitor Ctr

Found SCC 03 Armadale's Trails - Settlers Common Central. No trackables to trade TNLN SL TFTH Armadale Visitor Ctr.

Another great hide. Tfc

We called it a day after this one there were some black clouds hovering over us. We made it back to the car just before it poured down. Thanks for the hide.

Quick find whilst out on a days caching adventure with my mom Ooh Yeh, lovely scenic walk trail. Tftc

Went out with the geodaughter Redlipsandunicorns for a few hours of caching. Our main caches to find were all the Armadale trail ones. we had a great time walking along the paths and the weather was great today. All caches were found with out any problems. Thanks for putting out this great series. TFTC Armadale Visitor Ctr

Spent the day caching with Happy Jacks 55 doing the settler series. Great day for a walk in a beautiful area TFTC.

Easy walk, beautiful day and area. TFTC

Found, TFTC

Thank you

TFTC! Spent the day out caching with Cravo10 on our usual Thursday outing. We've spent a fair amount of time recently cleaning up a bunch of caches near the Rockingham and Baldivis areas so we decided to change things up a bit and head to the Armadale area to cleanup the new couple of cache series by the Armadale visitor centre, the Victoria cross series and a few odd ones along the way.

We were a bit unsure of what to expect with the poor weather that had been around for a couple of days and what was forecast today so we decide to play it by how things were on the day. As it turned out it was perfect caching weather, a little bit of drizzle and intermittent showers to keep the muffles away but just enough that it was bearable for caching and a nice cool temperature for the bush walks we intended on completing.

We completed the two settlers common series of caches quite quickly before attempting a bunch of the VC series to get the bonus box. Unfortunately two caches in the series appear to be musing and we couldn't complete the series, even though we tried to force the co ords by grid searching the area. Alas we couldn't find the ammo box, have emailed the CO and hopefully they can help us out.

A good day out if not for our shoes getting a bit too wet and making walking with water in the shoes a little bit fun. Thanks to the COs for the days caching. Cheers

Out and about with barnzy12 again today. Today the weather wasn't great to start with however this didn't delay out start at all. As usual Steve headed to work for a few hours and then I was able to pick him up.

The mission today was some of the new series published last week and as such meant that we didn't need to drive to far today. All up only around 50km for this Thursday's efforts not Too bad at all.

By the time we hit the trails the weather almost had cleared and only some light rain lingered. It was however still a little cold but once we got into it evening was great.

All caches were found in good condition TFTH TFTC

(chwiliwr team catch up log)

We had decided to come out here on the hope that it wasn't raining and it wasn't until the very last cache had been found and was on the way back to the car. However that last bit of the walk made us very wet.

After about the second cache we met PF68 and we walked all of the rest of the caches together. Also met Fernandogirls and Bittgirls twice along the trail as they were going the other way around the trails.

Found the cache without problems.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks Armadale Visitor Ctr for the cache.

Second finder. I dropped the 2 trackable items I had with me. One of them wants to go to Albany. Thanks for the cache.

Found number 3, so far so good

*FTF* @ 8:17 So last night i decided that i would keep working on our new series. Decided due to the weather not to go out caching, plus my geo-sister was out of town... BUT i woke up and saw 9 caches published that said "Armadale...", i though maybe. Then something rushed through my blood, and i yelled to the kids to get changed and get in the car, we are going to try and get our first ever FTF's. Said bye to muggle wife and off we went. Decided to the do the second series that was published first as better chance for FTF. Happy that we got the whole series done, good to see Promotion for our walks in the bush. Now i wonder if the FTF's are up for grab still up the road?? Thanks for the cache, the white tail black cockatoos were in full song.
