Hi there dezzabills. While on holiday in WA we hunted this cache and after a search we came up empty. The area is currently fenced off due to 'falling debis' so only a cursory search was made. Thanks to dezzabills for this cache.
 
18-Aug-19
We came, we saw, we couldn't get to the cache, the whole tower has been fenced off. I did have a look around at stretched arm distance
 
18-Aug-19
The structure has been fenced off due to instability. Couldn’t get to the cache.

Very good hide, some of the log entries helped with this find. TFTC

Very clever

FINALLY! 4 goes! 4 sets of eyes. Super tricky but finally a smiley face! TFTC
 
18-Jun-19
My sneaky eyed partner found it. What a champ.
 
15-Jun-19
2 years ago we were in the right spot at the right time to try for a FTF on this one, alas it was not to be. The little blighted proved illusive. Never mind, 2 years on & 3rd time lucky. The structure plays havoc with your GPS. TFTC dezzibells
 
03-Jun-19
Couldn’t find it despite lengthy search .
 
02-Jun-19
Came here to find a cache and extremely happy to see a coffee van here as well!! Pazza got coffee while Sazza got cache....actually Pazza got both...damn he's so much better at this, (he's definitely more willing to put his fingers where I ain't!)

Lovely shiny cache, as per previous finds, some of us were less willing to put hands in all places but found easily by male part of sazpazza! Smile

LS! TNLN! Thanks for the cache dezzabills and for bringing us to another amazing spot in WA!
 
10-May-19
This was a double win - I luckily found the cache quite quickly, and my wife whose hobby is collecting fridge magnets, snagged two at the museum Smile
 
09-May-19
Touring from Tasmania and stopped here for a break. Pretty awesome structure to hide a cache. After a little bit of searching finally found cache. Tftc
 
25-Apr-19
This was really hard! After looking and looking had to be brave and put my fingers where I couldn't see and voila....shiny little cache. TFTC.

This is a very clever magnet we were in Cunderdin for inter school and my daughter and I thought we would do some on our way home.
 
27-Feb-19
It thankfully didn't take us too long to locate this.
TFTC dezzabills this is find # 6041 for us.
 
17-Feb-19
Thank you! Dad (my part-time assistant) and I headed on a day trip down the Great Eastern Highway, with plans to get to Merredin.
Dad and I had a chat about the construction of the water tower while we searched for this one - which ended up being quicker than it could have been, considering all the possible locations. I think dad also had his eye on the ice cream truck at the other end of the parking bay.
 
08-Feb-19
Started out this morning by picking up a couple more caches on our way out of Northam with ilook4geo. Then the journey continued a bit further east as the day progressed. Each found log had a couple more signatures added and each cache was put back as it had been found before we moved on. This is a well hidden cache but persistent hunting paid off. Thank you to dezzabills for adding this cache to the fun of the game.
 
08-Feb-19
Left Northam and headed on today, still caching with goingplaces2. Found this cache on our way by. It took a bit of careful looking and searching. All returned to place. TFTC.
 
30-Jan-19
Finally finally thanks Muggle hubby found Won’t know what to do for our break in Cunderdin now haha.
 
09-Jan-19
Final stage of my road trip through WA and heading for Perth Cool. Thanks for placing all the boxes along the road and giving me several reasons to stretch my legs Razz. Most of the containers could be found easily and the log sheet was signed! This one was really tricky, but intense searching made the find possible [:o)].

This was very well done
 
24-Sep-18
Beautiful day to be caching. Nice hide thanks
 
25-Aug-18
Stumped again!
 
05-Aug-18
Tossed up whether to even look for this one as the sun had already set and we were familiar with the type of structure. Thought we might do a quick once over though, as a wintery Sunday evening is a muggle-free opportunity. Much to our surprise we had the cache in hand within a couple of minutes. Wish that would happen more often!! TFTC
 
10-Jun-18
Took the family for a bit of a road trip to escape the rainy weather & found this cache on our travels... So many places to search here & went round & round before locating this sneaky one! A previous finder helped narrow down the location but I still must have missed it a few times duh Razz

TFTC dezzabills [^] Cache was in good condition.

Great museum

First find of the day and it took the longest. Was maybe an omen of the day.

Special thanks to the CO for a well placed cache, and myself for not performing a systematic search or my companion for that matter!!

Thanks for answering the SOS for an answer.

What a great spot, bit of history and a nice laugh with the ettamogah pub across the road.

Thanks dezzabills, a few more this way would be nice
 
03-Mar-18
No luck today! Did several laps!

With a new GC.com challenge recently published that required the jinta team to find caches in another 21 Western Australia counties, we decided it was time for a big road trip day. Mrs jinta and I packed up the car and headed away from home at about 4.30am with our sights set on a 800+ kilometre round trip going through Cunderdin, Tammin, Kellerberrin, Trayning, Kununoppin, Nungarin, Mukinbudin, Bencubbin, Koorda, Cadoux and then home through Goomalling. It was a fantastic day and we spent about 14 and a half hours tripping around grabbing both GC and GCA caches.

A big shout out to all the CO's whose caches we found, the Wheatbelt was once again a fantastic place to visit and the weather was on our side with the temps maxing out at only 38 degrees.

Mrs jinta found this one after a systematic search

Ok a day trip to Northam...so decided to do just a few caches along the way.
It was a grueling day.
Allocated 20 mins to find this, whilst enjoying a grt coffee from the coffee van.
Unfortunately, it wasn't to be for us today.
Searched high an low..it sure musta been well hidden.
3DNF, and 10 Finds
TFTC
 
29-Oct-17
My fourth DNF in a row and was losing the will to cache when I pulled up and saw the task! Gave one lap and looked where I could but headed off after that. Thanks anyway.
 
07-Oct-17
After spending 4 days in Alice springs it was time to drive back to Perth. Stopped to grab some caches along the way to break up the journey and stretch the legs. All caches were found and a big thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches for us and others to find.
This was our last cache on the way home and lucky for us the hubby found it in the first place he looked.
 
01-Oct-17
Heading back to Perth from Merredin and stopped over the road. Took one look at the tower and my heart dropped. So many places to search. Could be here all day. Tried to get a fix with the gps but wasn't all that helpful. The 2 clues helped to narrow down the search but still no cache. Stood back, looked and asked self, Where would you hide it? Also found a new area where a cache could be hidden. On the third one, bingo! given its 'colour;, it would need to be very well hidden here and it was.Found it but no pen or tool meant a quick run back to nearby car. Returned soon after ready for the next cacher. Great hide! Thanks dezzabills.
 
15-Sep-17
Out on a road trip to Kalgoorlie and to be a part of Coolgardie Day we thought why not cache along the way, after expecting a long hunt we had this cache in hand rather quickly, log was signed and returned as found TFTC
 
18-Aug-17

With the coordinates taking me to the car park, time didn't permit me to search the entire structure. Thanks for bringing me to this spot though Smile TFTH dezzabills
 
03-Jun-17
No luck here today I am afraid. Great structure though.
 
02-Jun-17
FTF with Coruze.
We were making our way back home from the west and called in to the museum to to check out the earth quake room plus all the other items in the museum. When we had finished our tour we found that a new unfound cache was nearby. We wandered over and begun our search, it did take a while but our persistence was rewarded with a first to find.
Thanks dezzabills for the cache, great location.
