TbroG - Flatrocks picnic Gidgegannup, Western Australia, Australia
By blingg on 30-Jul-16. Waypoint GC6PCP4

Thanks @blingg for placing this cache. I had a good hunt around the area; unfortunately I was unable to locate the cache today . I will add it to my list and try again soon.

Reading previous logs dissuaded me from spending too long here.

Very tricky, will be back

We spent far too long searching here, including our 1/2 hour lunch break.

We missed the sucker today.

Eventually found this one, about 3-4m from GZ, MitchDem found this one upside down thankfully, TFTC

Evil evil evil!!!! Found it whilst complaining about GZ

Found with expanded search. Sneaky hide. No flipping required!!

Geowife spotted this evil one after expanding our search area - 9 meters out. TFTC blingg!

Out with one mission in mind - to complete the TbroG series today. Thanks blingg for putting this series together in a beautiful part of the countryside. Log damp but signable

Out with geotrakka for another day at the TbroG series. Tftc.

I headed out to the back roads of Gidgegannup specifically to see Brocky’s memorial. As a kid I watched him tear around Bathurst in his Commodore.

Amazing to see how indiscriminate the fire was through. Some areas, severely burnt (but now with regrow the) and others as untouched windows of green.

I looked for a little while but didn’t flip rocks. The bush here is burnt.

TFTC blingg

Good hide! Thanks

Yes thank you

Had to scratch around a little for this one and in the end it was as I was starting to expand my search that I spied the cache that I’m sure I almost stepped on at one point.

Thanks blingg for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 2563 for me.

Caching around this area whilst attending WAGB20.
Glad this event is going ahead, geoson and I are making a day of it. All caches found in good condition.

Took longer than expected! Picking up some caches after the WAGB with ICNothing and CirrusWA. Thank you to the COs.

Nice quick find here.

TFTC

Quick find.

Hi there blingg. While out on the road today we found this cache at 04:31PM after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to blingg for this cache - our find 8566 and the 51st of 60 finds for the day.

FieldNotes:

Try again another day

Thank you! Out finding caches to work towards the current souvenir challenge. Also a good opportunity to finish off this series. Happy to make the find here. It took a fair while to find!

Well certainly led us a merry chase between a rock and a hard place, sweating profusely about to give up when Mrs Geo sang out "found it". Great hide and camo.tyfc.

Out for a few hours having a lovely Sunday drive round picking up some of the TbroG series. Managed to tick off 20 today so happy with that Sun was getting hotter and hotter today, glad I put the fridge in the car! I had taken the cache name literally and this was my planned lunch stop - which wasn't the whole reason I was here absolutely AGES but did play a part. The main reason however was this hide gave me the complete runaround as the few times I could get the GPS to settle it had me much closer to the stream. So I was back & forth, left and right, rocks, reeds and trees - nothing anywhere. Searched before I had lunch - nope - then again after I had lunch - and still nope. The sun was beating down and after a long time here I had resigned myself to a DNF. Then the caching gods gave pity and literally on my final scan walking back to the car something familiar caught my eye. And I swore out loud, lol. Very relieved to make the find here, this was one that almost got away. Thanks for the handy lunch spot, if it wasn't for the fact I had planned to stop off here for a break I may not have stayed and searched for so long! TFTC

Found it. TFTC blingg. Came here to try this TbroG series. OMG, there’s rocks everywhere.

No luck here today

Went back a couple of times but still couldn't spot this one... Thank you for the hide and for the challenge blingg.

t4tc nuvva cool rock

Up early to grab a few smileys on the way to an event at Lake Lescenaultia. Planned to try and finish the TBROG series.

Again so many possibilities but managed to spot it.

blingg - I was out and about today and found your cache TbroG - Flatrocks picnic at 07:55:09 on 26 Jan 2018. This find brings my cache count to 2570.

Thank you for placing this cache and contributing to this great game. The log was signed and cache replaced.

Catching up on some very late logging - three+ years late! Found with Neva2Old. Cheers.

Finally got back to finishing off this series. Only had 1 dnf today, so i'll be back to look for that another day. Thankyou blingg for the series and the interesting hides. Cache blends in very well

We really like these types of caches. An old favourite of ours Cache is in good condition TFTC #537

A spare day has come up before our next travels so off we go to hopefully finish TBroG!
I looked while megawat60 made coffee. Then he came down and made the find a bit away from my search zone . Nice spot . TFTC!

Off with m4yb to hopefully finish the series, this time in Max the GroUte.

And a nice stopping spot for a coffee, tricky hide here glad I spotted it!

Thanks for the series and smilies blingg

Luckily have seen one of these before otherwise it would have taken ages. All's good here

Another winter weekend with brilliant weather so there was no excuse to come back to grab some more of the TbroG series caches and a couple of others in the are.
Amazing day with 36 smileys and only one DNF. We will be back for some more soon!
This one kept us busy for a while.

Second round on the TBROG series for Lazarus_68, dezzabills and myself, We spent the day caching together and managed to find all the remaining caches in the series, this was find number fourteen out of thirty four finds for the day. Thanks bling for creating the series.

Out completing this series with geo-buddies. Thank you blingg for this series.
Camo blends in well!

TFTC Blingg and thanks for a great series. In company with hhhedy and lazarus 68 we headed around and completed all the caches today. It was an awesome day to be out and it was great to have completed your series. Loved many of your hides and also locations. Thanks for the outstanding time and effort you put into making it a great series.

This cache looked ever bit the same as the rest of the landscape.

pug002 found it 22/5/2017 decided on a day out geocaching as we haven't done much for awhile. Oh yeah so many rocks to check! TFTC blingg

Took me a bit of time, so many rocks to check.

WebblyWA, PP1 & I originally planned a kayaking trip up the Swan River today but we took the COs advice & postponed it due to recent floods having affected the caches. The revised plan was to finish the Tbrog series. We nearly did it too. 33 finds & one, pesky, annoying DNF TFTC blingg

With the distractions of 4 FTFs to our names over, it was time to tackle what was actually planned for the day - TbroG.
The goal was to complete the 33 caches we had left, we almost made it finding 32 of the 33.
I thought I was back in Jarrahdale forrest with this rock, Love these outcrops and how they came to be.
TFTC blingg

Found it as coordinates were spot on TFTC

Decided to do some TbroG caches on a cloudy and muggy afternoon. This one didn't take long to find. Nice camo container. I've seen several of these now over the years. Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache.

** This is a very late log**

The caches I am now logging were ones I have found since setting off on a geocaching roadtrip with Eaglette2017 - the mission was to pick up just 5 more LGA caches as well as my geocaching centroid to enable me to qualify for a challenge cache over in Victoria that I visited when over there late last year. We had an absolute ball on our three days away, visiting many great locations, having lots of laughs and picking up many smileys.

Since then, I have been putting off logging any caches until I caught up on the ones from that wonderful adventure. Many, many more caches have been found and shared geocaching adventures have been enjoyed since then too, so it is about time that I got down to work on all those outstanding logs, albeit somewhat late.

I appreciate all the effort each of the cache owners has gone through to create and place each and every hide and I do not for one second take it for granted, I just need to get caught up so I can return to my usual style of individualized logs.

Shared today's adventure with Eliktrisiti and we had the best day. Thanks so much for all our smileys blingg.

Teaming up with Mistraluna for the day to grab some TbroG caches. Good day it was, as we ended up getting 0 DNFs. This one was cheeky, but luckily Mistraluna spotted it eventually
Thank you blingg for placing the smiley trail and bringing us here.

Hi blingg I found your TbroG – Flatrocks dry and healthy. The 6th favourite [^]! SL TFTH. Image shows: Flatrocks – porphyritic granite of 2.7 billion years old

Another morning up here collecting smilies in the TbroG series. 34 out of 35 today. Thanks blingg.

After doing a time trial race at Chidlow this morning I had time after the race to pick up a few caches on the way home. Reen Rd was the last set of the TbroG caches I had not yet found, so I was keen to clean up the area.

I spent a little while wandering back and forth here, moving things and looking under things. I read the previous logs for inspiration, and eventualy I found the well hidden cache. Thanks for the hide blingg!

Hi there blingg. We found your cache **"TbroG - Flatrocks picnic"** at 11:06:00 AM today.

This was our 11th cache find in a caching run of 23 Finds & 1 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 15190.)

The aim of today's cache run was to complete the TbroG series of caches (and of course any other caches we passed along the way too).

We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds, and gave each one a favourite point (for the hide, the parking area, the inventive camouflage, or the adventure).

Please excuse our boilerplate logs, we know it's not really a good excuse, but it's really difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** Container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
** Left**: A Smiley Badge (if the container was big enough).

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Took at least 20 minutes to locate the cache by which time I was hot and over it. Great to eventually add my name to the log. Thanks.

Cool cache.

A lot of circling around before I noted a clue in a previous log which helped us refine the search area. TFTC

Like these Quick ones TFTC blingg

TFTC! Had a few spare hours to kill with Cravo10 this morning and wanting to grab the CITO event on Toodyay road to help do our bit for the community so we hatched a plan to grab a bunch of local caches and attend the back half of the rubbish event.

We completed the remaining TbroG caches we had left, with two DNFs, which became one after a second look for the paperbark cache. We managed to bump into Granett and SVKR sat around 8am and left them to their devices as they were planning to complete the whole series.

The series took us a bit longer than planned with some of the caches taking a good dig around to find which consequently pushed us later to attend the CITO event. Managed to get there around 1030, with half an hour to spare, but no cachers in sight. We saw a nice big rubbish pile so we decided to head across to the red hill side where the team Bingara cache was located and cleaned up a bunch of tyres and assorted house hold litter that had been placed there over an extended period and dropped it back with the pile.

Was a good morning out on the trail, thanks

TFTC Out on a days caching with barnzy12. Again picked him up from Belmont and away we went.

We were ultimately heading to the scenic view CITO event and made a few stops along the way. The Tbrog series was on the agenda

By the time we arrived to the event at 10.30 no one was around and rubbish was in a large pile. We decided to use take a few bags and picked up rubbish on the way up the hill to the cache simply red. Returning we threw the bags on the pile and headed for home.

I had an RDO today and I was in need of a caching fix so I decided to head to this area . My main focus was to be the TbroG series and some of the other caches which were close by [^]. I had a fantastic time out here today and a big thanks to all the CO's for the effort in placing the caches!

blingg - jinta29 found your cache TbroG - Flatrocks picnic. This is my find #5799 and find #74 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Decided to head back out to try and finish this series. Another successful day, finishing with 49 finds in 5 and a half hours. We have loved doing the series and enjoyed the many varied containers and had fun trying to guess where they may be hidden using the cache name as a possible clue. We have had 2 dnf's and we will return another day to hunt them down.

TFTC blingg this is find 1351 for us

Headed out for some morning caching around Gidgey for Fathers Day & this was one of the caches we found on our trip… The cache was found after a few minutes of searching & reading back in the logs! Again we were shocked by the rocks that seemed to be strewn all over the place here, please fellow cachers take care & place everything back as how it was when you arrived

TFTC blingg [^]

Enjoying a holiday in Perth with tmann421 and collecting a few caches along the way.
Another great find here. TFTC

Another fun find with Just-Lookin today
*Soon located this cache in the TbroG series.*
SL Thanks blingg

After dropping our geo-hubby's off to do the Wooroloo series, Mrs iluvtrekking and I headed off in a clockwise direction to do the TbroG series. Due to it being a dry day we were able to complete the whole series but it was a long slog with only a short break at the Gidgegannup Bakery for a coffee. Most containers were found reasonably quickly with only a couple of PAF utilised to give us a perfect score for the day. Thanks blingg for a great series and the tour around the back country roads which was a highlight.

Hi blingg, we found TbroG - Flatrocks picnic today. All was in good order so we signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Thank you.

Another Friday morning, another caching trip to Gigde.
Great morning to be up here, 11 finds and 1 dnf.
Took a few minutes, as micros in the bush do. Eventually found about 3m closer to the road than my GZ. TFTC

Headed back up this way with the geodaughter Redlipsandunicorns to find all the new TborG caches that had come out since we were last here. We got to the first cache at 6.45AM and after picking up 51 caches we were finished by 2.30PM. All the caches were found with only one we had to go back to twice Tbrog Paruna as we didnt want to leave with a DNF. Nearly all the caches were spot on with the co-ords and most were found quickly with a few that took a bit of searching. An enjoyable series and now im just waiting to see if more will be coming out...TFTC blingg

Out on a day of geocaching with my mom ooh yeh to pick up more of this series. Such a scenic area! Quick find tftc

(chwiliwr team catch up log)

We came up the hill again after lunch to do some more of the TbroG series that were published yesterday and early this morning. We left it too late in the day to be able to do all of the new ones but enjoyed ourselves
This was where I caught up to parkacruz again and we made a joint *FTF*.

Log signed and cache returned as found.

I left it too late in the day to be able to do all of the new ones but enjoyed myself and met another cacher team later in the day and got some blanks logs with them and two by myself when they stopped caching at the cache before my last one.

Thanks blingg for the cache.

Another smiley added here with a joint FTF with chwiliwr who we have bumped into at a couple of locations. After a brief search we soon had the prize in hand TFTC

After this we headed on home as geo grandson had had enough for now with 15 new smileys, 10 of those FTF's with 2 of those shared with chwiliwr
