LGA Moira VIC Boddington, Western Australia, Australia
By FellowshipOfTheTrail on 18-Jun-17. Waypoint GC7751V

Searched around for a few minutes as per the hint, looked all over and turned all pieces of wood over, looked a little bit around on the ground, but couldn't spot it today. Hasn't been found since April, perhaps it's gone now? If I have time before I leave Boddington on Monday, I may come back for another look.

Quick find here today with Redrobbin25

A nice quick find. Found with Teamlaroche. Tftc!

Caching around Perth and the west coast for a few weeks. TFTC. Nice to finally grab a few of this series.

Boddington camping in the RV area.
Found the 1 cache in town before heading out on the LGA trail.
The roads were very quiet only saw a couple of cars. Plenty of sheep & 1 fox.
All caches had good hints.
Thankyou to the CO's for placing these caches.

Over in Western Australia now to attend next months events. Time to get a few caches around Boddington before heading further south.

Log is almost full thanks

Found it

Day 2 (for us) On The.... *LGA!*

Another very nice find on a geocaching adventure with woolwood9.
We enjoyed the drive / walk around the area.

On the trail by 6-30am stopped for the night after 8-30pm - 2x 15 minute stops otherwise non-stop caching the area!
Tons of dust, 35 degrees - energy draining heat, seeds in socks, flies and spiders - all the good stuff that made for great fun and a fantastic numbers of finds!

**Appreciate the efforts of all involved.**

*Thank you for putting this Huge cache trail out for us to visit! *

Enjoying a short a trip to W.A. and surrounding areas with tmann421
Saw lots of sites and enjoyed the finds.
Thanks to the cache owners for the efforts involved in their hides.

Nice quick find, log a little crammed in, straightened and re-rolled!

Headed out to knock off some more of this mammoth and awesome powertrail with another 200 ticked off today over a 10 hour period which of course included a stop at the Quinny for a Parmy lunch.

Thanks to FellowshipOfTheTrail for placing such an amazing powertrail with good hints and nice easy finds The sun was shining, the birds were singing! Happy caching days!

Visiting Boddington and decided to tackle some of the LGA series with aimz23_93. All caches were found in good condition and replaced as found. TFTC

Nice quick find with headley92 TFTC

With Liam devantier

Find 8 of the day, quick one, log has seen better days but mostly intact. Really enjoying the day so far.

It’s time for my long overdue return to caching and a series like this caught my eye as a good way to boost the numbers back up!

Left nice and early this morning to make it down with plenty of time to find as many as possible!

Hoping to do some CITO along the way to help clean up, but if a shame seeing all the rubbish on the side of the road driving down.

Good find

Met the team BODS11 at 6am in Quindanning for a nice early start. Managed to finish the whole LGA Series due to some really hard work and no slacking off (except going into Williams for a pie)

Thanks for maintaining this super power trail.

A big weekend finishing off the LGA series and caches in the surrounding areas with the BODS11 crew (Meme28, Burns345, I C Nothing, Kapelula, Cirrus_WA, Sir Fancy, Leg5, Lachlan1.77, geotrakka, PilotJen and PilotMal). Sorry about the generic logs.

Today the geocaching mission for TaurusSix and myself is to tackle as much of the LGA series as practical. We have viewed and studied this series for a little while now and made the decision that in the cooler months we would give it a go, mindful that it will take a good few goes to collect the whole series. Having lived all over Australia we are familiar with many of the LGA’s around the country so that adds lots of extra interest from our perspective.

We have set ourselves some ambitious personal geocaching goals for today, such as: i) aiming for our highest amount of cache find in a day which is currently at 120 ii) aiming for our highest amount of cache finds in a week which is currently 136 iii) our highest cache finds in a month which is currently 250. With this in mind we made our way to Boddington last evening so we can make an early start on what will be a big geocaching day. The day started off wet but soon picked up to a nice coolish geocaching day.

Appreciation and gratitude to The Fellowship of the Trail for placing and maintaining this wonderful geocaching series.

This is our tenth cache find of the day along this fabulous trail and while enjoying a fabulous sunrise.

Found by BODS11
BODS11 - I C Nothing, Cirrus_Wa, Sir Fancy, Meme28, Kapelula, Burns345, GeoTrakka, Pilot Jen, Pilot Mal, Lachlan1.77 &Leg5.
We came to complete the LGA series and any other cache that appeared in the area.
Thanks for placing

Out on a caching weekend with Team BODS11 the main aim is to locate and log all the LGA Series caches. Glad to say that mission completed. Thanks FOTT for this series.

Down for the weekend in Quindanning to knock off the Boddington LGA series with a number of Perth cachers. This was one of my stops for the weekend. Apologies for the generic logs. Cheers FellowshipOfTheTrail!

Caches signed as BODDS11.

Staying at Boddington for the weekend, my wife and I decided to do part of the power trail. Not really a power trail person but enjoyed the change of pace.

A quick find here after a short search all in good condition TFTC

Started our 2nd tour of WA now touring around the south and now targeting the lga series. Did your LGA Moira VIC today. Thank you for such a great series. 1 February 2022 9:10 am Tyfc FellowshipOfTheTrail total caches now 3932

We all set personal geocaching targets such as completing the D/T grid and streaks. One of personal goals was to average 2500 finds per year. At the end of 2019 we were on track but, as with all geocachers, the events of 2020 impacted greatly. So, despite the restrictions still in place this year, we are trying to get our average back up to 2500 finds per year. With Covid limiting our travel options, we decided to head west, flying directly from Hobart to Perth so that we could cache in Western Australia.

One of our targets is the Local Government Area series near Boddington. We made a start today in ideal weather conditions. The real unexpected bonus for us was the range and quantity of the wildflowers we saw along the way. They were magnificent. We have been told that the recent consistent rainfall has led to a greater abundance of wildflowers that in previous years.

Today we looked for 87 of the LGA caches, finding all but two of them. Unless stated otherwise, accurate coordinates and the hints led to quick finds. The cache containers were in good condition but, as should be expected, many of the log books are showing signs of being used by many cachers, some being badly torn.

We really enjoy the concept of the LGA trail. Congratulations to the members of the FellowshipOfTheTrail on an excellent series which must have taken extensive planning and a large amount of time to prepare and place each of the caches.


****
We found this cache open and on the ground, about 7m from the published coordinates. We replaced it in a location consistent with the hint and coordinates.

Sun is out water everywhere. Thank you for putting out this section of such a great series. Coordinates excellent and all 77 that we found today were in good condition.

TFTH.

Thank you! Decided to do a bit more of the LGA series on my road trip to WAGB 2021. Happy to make the find here.

Finishing the day on Newmarket Road with MorgoTheGeo for our third and final day of the LGA series. Pretty quick easy finds. Thanks for the trail

What a fantastic power trail! Fellowship of the Trail, you all have done an excellent job. Bravo!!

Probsty and I hatched a plan on finishing this series today. We took off at 5am and then we were on a cache mission. It’s our third day down here with a mix of driving and mountain biking. Today was with four wheels. Weather was perfect and most were easy finds. Thank you!

Our journey so far has taken us to NSW, SA, Queensland, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and now back in Victoria.

Thank you for the Cache

Lance grabbed the find here, his height helping to break the kids find streak.

Now this is how to spend a long weekend Monday. Started early with Mr Z, Mr T & Lance252 to head out and grab some caches, scout some potential lab locations, have a day of adventuring and running the sillies out before work and school start tomorrow. Must have worked by the sounds of the snoring coming from the kids in the back on the way home.

It was a slow-ish morning as we had our hider hats on grabbing coordinates and answers, we ended up in Boddington and grabbed some finds in town before stopping for lunch. After the break we raced along a leg of the FOTT’s LGA series before making our way back home.

We managed to snag 20 finds today with 2 pesky DNF’s mixed in.

Thanks FellowshipOfTheTrail for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 2744 for me.

Second day on this great series with BJA3, TFTC FOTT Team!

Day 2 caching the FOTT series at Boddington with TeamBarritts!! Tftc!!

Out with Geotrakka ticking off some LGA’s on such a beautiful day, before the heat kicks in for the year... thank you to the FOTT team for placing this power trail...

Ive been waiting for this day - to finally take a bite of this series. Meme28 & I hit the road early with a bit of a plan. It will be interesting to see how many we can do. Out to break my one day record yeehaa! Thanks to the FOTT team for putting this series together. Its been on my radar for some time. Good to get out here before it gets too hot. Signing log as team ‘geoTmeme’

Loving the simplicity of these caches

Was a bit stumped...then I wasn’t

Cool

Clever hide TFTC

First day of the LGA series. Hoping the rain holds off. Generic logs I'm afraid. But will state if anything needs mentioning. Thanks for this series.

Tftc. Quick park and grab

Having a wonderful time on the trail with IQO. TFTC. Fellowship Of The Trail.

Good one.

Quick find whilst trying to bag a big haul.

Trying to put another dent into this series on a beautiful winters day.
Most were quick and easy finds, some took a bit longer with a handful of DNF's.

TFTC

The official app decided it won't play ball again. So we don't have any info about this cache but we did find it.

Staying in Boddington with the boss and inlaws and decided to head out on my own to tackle some of the lga series. All were quick and easy finds some easier than others as thseveral caches were laying on the ground out in the open for all to see. Thanks for a great series to the FOTT crew.

Thanks for the hide

Came to boddington specifically for this series TFTC

Thanks to all the owners and maintainers of this series. We only had a couple of hours today so headed out and were able to clean up two roads. we would like to one day tick off this many actual LGAs. All caches found and in good condition. Apologies for the duplicate log.

Great cache determined to do the series found whilst visiting and thinking about life

Hi there FellowshipOfTheTrail.

We found your cache **"LGA Moira VIC"** today. (This makes our find count 23420).

Today we headed out from Boddington and attempted our sixth (and final) loop of the LGA group of caches. We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds, but please excuse our boilerplate logs - we know it's not really a good excuse, but we find it difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]

We found 116 caches today & DNF'd 0. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels. Our log or stamp is not necessarily placed in the last spot in the book or sheet. If we find a blank spot when we open the log - that is where it goes.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** The containers and log books were mostly in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

Came to Boddington to do Earthcache. Noticed this series on Geocaching WA group. Thought we’d knock a few off.

Hi there FellowshipOfTheTrail. While out on the road today with JediahC (our Grandson), we found this cache after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to FellowshipOfTheTrail for this cache - our find 7431

Day 2 of my little get away to find as many of the LGA series as i could before heading home to Albany. After camping at the Quinny last night i was up and at it early to make the most of the beautiful day. Thankyou to all involved in placing this series out here for everyone to enjoy. TFTC

Tagged along with Gma Allinaday to find the FellowshipOfTheTrail series. We had a fun few days looking for all caches. I loved all the lambs in the fields but the red back spiders that were on a few of the caches not so much. Thank you for putting all the caches out there for us to find.

Finally had a spare few days to go and tackle the FellowshipOffTheTrail series with my two granddaughters. Accommodation booked in Boddington a few months earlier, which we used as our base, we set off in high spirits to find all those caches. We had some big days, and also a few shorter ones. Given that it was the middle of winter, we had near perfect caching weather. Not a drop of rain, the roads were nice and smooth with little dust. The fields were lush and green with an abundance of newly born lambs, which were a never ending source of amusement for the girls. We found most of the caches where they were meant to be. Some had been strewn a number of metres away by animals. Some fences have been realigned....one cache location was some 10metres inside a new fence. Some caches have been wiped out by the grader widening the road and pushing all the dirt up. Some trees have also succumbed to new fences. Wherever possible, we have replaced caches.....approx. 26 or so, which will keep the trail alive. Many thanks to those responsible for placing all these caches. I can only imagine how much time has gone into that.

Find #9 of 43 on the LGA trail.

Tftc.

Apologies for the generic logs and thanks for the series. We do not apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to Fellowship of the Trail for placing these here for our enjoyment.

Stopped to turn this frown into a happy face. Thanks.

TftcFinally had the time and inclination to begin our hunt for at least some of these caches. The sheer number is totally daunting, especially for someone who gets cache burnout after about the tenth cache. Decided I would try to double that but eventually ended up with quadruple that initial target. Wonder of wonders.......All caches were well placed and in excellent condition so it really did become a cachefest. Towards the end, we met up with Everlasting and joined her for the last ten or so hides. Had a great time. Thank of member fellows for placing these caches. Will return sometime to knock off a few more. Tftc

Enjoyed myself - search and signed the log as EV.. most excellent coordinate spot, some coordinate is out of way so look at "hint". Great see paskersfind at this field.. Thanks for the cache and hide.

Well we had plans to be in Albany this week, but plans changed so we were heading towards Dunsborough when plans changed again! Needed somewhere to stop for 1 week and the LGA series popped up on our radar!

So day 1 today and a leisurely start at 8.30 and back at the caravan by 3.00pm with 175smilies today. Lucky for us the CO's had been down to do a maintenance run recently. We only replaced 1 logsheet and 1 broken container.

TFTC Guys.

FellowshipOfTheTrail this is my 171st cache of 211 finds of the day and brings my total find count to 840. The container is in good condition. SLTFTC.

I found the cache in good condition. SL TFTH FOTT.

Out on the caching trail again with ilook4geo. The day started very early as it promised to be hot later on. We were out with ilook4geo to find a whole lot more of this LGA series and had a good rate of success. We took the same approach as yesterday and skipped over the ones that had too many DNF logs or otherwise looked to have a problem. We may have simply not found some that are in play, but didn't spend too much time on any one cache.
All found caches had our initials recorded on the log sheet and were replaced as found before we moved on. Thanks go to FellowshipOfTheTrail for this section of the trail also.

Day 4 of the caching hunt in this area along with goingplaces2. We found 112 caches in total, but missed a few along the way. Initials were added to each log sheet. It was a fun day and we were pleased with the overall result. TFTC.

Out with Team ball and Cassie & Co. A nice quick find

Thx

A lovely winters day and number 401 cache for me! TFTC

Number 97 for me !! Thank you ! Lovely being out in the bush

Out with m4yb reacquainting ourselves with Jonathan and let’s grab some of the LGA series.
Thanks FOTT guys

Back home and preparing for the big trip north, with a stay in lovely Boddington and a tidy up of the LGA series plus others. Another find! Thanks for this great series Fellows of the Trail!

Awesome

We had to get a bit of a system going to speed things up a bit but only managed to deal with about ten percent of them this time. Met up with some great people. Cache co-ordinates were very accurate and the hints sped things up for us. Wow what a lot of time this must have taken to set up; kudos to the CO’s. God willing we shall return to have another dig at them.
