Salmon Gums History - Kumarl Rock Salmon Gums, Western Australia, Australia
By Zane and Bianca on 31-Aug-17. Waypoint GC7BNHE

Really enjoyed this one. Usually a cache on a granite rock will involve a trek to the top. This one is conveniently flat. Found the cache then carried on to the gnamma holes which the kids loved as they were full of tadpoles. Enjoyed the wildflowers and butterflies and bees before heading back to salmon gums to grab our caravan. TFTC

I enjoyed this one, what a lovely spot!TFTC FF

Managed to find the right roads in and soon arrived at the granite slabs. Very cool history here. Cache was found in excellent condition. Tftc

Out and about again, a visit north in nabbing another LGA (Dundas) and get a few around Salmon Gums. Covered a few km’s and found 13 caches.

Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today

Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

Having a good Sunday bike ride finding caches time to head home

Travelling from Perth to Canberra with lots of side tracks.TFTC.
A bit of an adventure coming in from the east with my caravan. Ended up driving through someone's property until locked in at 1.6km to go. Managed to get out and all the way around. Parked at the main road and walked. Then storms came so ran most of the way and signed cache in the rain. Now to get back to the highway before roads get messy.

Trip down to the coastal towns of Bremer bay and Esperance. Great to get out and explore. Had to chase a few extra KM by heading up towards Norseman to help add to the cache find count also.

Thanks to the local COs for some interesting caches and some even better locations. TFTH

Headed down for an overnighter with Cravo10 to Esperance to cleanup the last few caches out this way and enjoy some of the scenery.

Thanks for the hide.

Found it

pug002 DNF it we went down many roads/tracks, not sure if they were farmers property but after a couple of hours driving around decided we would give up, google couldn't find Burnside Road. When we went onto the next one low and behold we saw Burnside Road, but by this time we had enough and wanted to do the multi's so headed off. Thanks anyway Zane and Bianca

Great location. We entered from the east, the track was good, we left to the west and the track was better. Thanks for the history Zane and Bianca.

Easy find tftc nice little rock quarry

Interesting little spot. I hated taking my car on this road but I will get over it. I took a watch and left half a dozen toys in return. TFTC

Met up with co this morning and heard some of the interesting history of this place and stayed at the pub last night that this rock was cut and carted to.
And a bonus was a dad and 5 emu chicks. Thanks Zane and Bianca for this visit. Awesome

Quick and easy find. Lots of Roos to say hello to on the way

After rolling out the swag last night in the rain at Thomas River in the Cape Arid NP, I headed on to Esperance quite early, hoping to get up to Norseman and on the Hyden Road by tonight. But as is so often the case, with me at least, I got sidetracked and didnt even make it as far as Norseman! No surprise really, given that I wasn’t even planning to come down this way on this trip.

The weather has been woeful for the last day or so. It bucketed down last night and has rained on and off for most of the day. Great for the farmers, but not quite so great when you are camping. Looks like more rain as I set up camp tonight.

An interesting spot for a look around. Cache and contents are in good condition.

Thanks Zane and Bianca for the cache.

Quick find after the drive and trek in. TFTC

Loved outback country - enjoyed wander and search - signed the log. Thanks Zane and Bianca.

8038. Located by baby &Mrs gopher at 1525. Great drive in and pleasant short stroll. SL Tnx Zane and Bianca.

Travelling Australia since March 2014 now we are making our way west for a visit with family.

Heading towards Esperance, today we moved from near Fraser Range to just past Norseman.

My second day in Esperance and decided to head out of town for some history caches . TFTC and all the COs for placing them .....

Third day of our 'loop' trip following the wildflowers and grabbing some caches along the way.
Had intended to stay in Esperance a few days but the weather was foul and hail forecast and much the same for the next few days so decided to head for Kalgoorlie. Although we were in the Patrol and towing a camper trailer I would have had no hesitation doing this track in my Honda CRV. Track is level with no ruts - only the odd low vegetation to straddle. We parked 90 mts from gz at a spot we could reverse the camper into to turn around then made the short walk to gz. Sturdy container so we wer3e surprised that the log book was damp but recorded our visit and headed onto Kalgoorlie. Thanks Zane and Bianca for another interesting location.

I am spending a couple of days in the goldfields for work, and as I am travelling around I am grabbing the odd cache or two.

I just love this part of the world and today was no different. Perfect weather for a drive from Kalgoorlie to Esperance.

I had been watching this one, and another nearby for a little while, and was pleased to see that they were still unfound this morning.

It was with a fair bit of trepidation that I attempted this cache in the geohireoutlander. Although the CO says he placed it in a 2wd, I was still nervous about damaging the hire car, or getting stuck.

Nonetheless after one false start, I made to GZ. An interesting looking location. Quickly found the nice sized container, and opened up to find a blank log.
