Quick find while down this way. Tftc

Signed and returned as found. Tftc

Checked whilst on maintenance run. Cache still in place.

Not today. 1st DNF here

TFTC

Found, replaced zip lock bag

Interesting that there’s a pistol club nearby here. Heard a few pistol shoots while finding this cache. TFTC

Great spot, took awhile to find as GPS jumped all over the place.

In the Cockburn area knocking off some caches in reserves that I perhaps should have knocked off by now. Glad to finally start checking these caches off. Cheers fratra!

Ooo. Nearly gave up on that one but thankfully made the find. Coords were jumping about a bit but all good when the smoky is found. Fave given for series. Thanks

Thanks for placing and maintaining this series Fratra. Your coordinates and hints were spot on

On a DNF roll. Got 10/12 done.
Thank you Fratra for this great series.
All caches I found were in good condition with dry logs.
I enjoyed my morning walk with the gentle breeze and the sweet smell of begonias in the air
I’ll will be back to clean up my 2 Dnfs

We parked at the entrance and started on our way just as the last rays of sun were just dying. Once at gz we made a nice easy find and gathered our clue. We signed your log and returned your cache back to where it belongs. It’s always good to do a welfare check on caches that haven’t been found for awhile. Happy to say all the ones we found tonight are holding up well. Now onto the next one. TFTC fratra

Caching late in the afternoon with axell33 we decided to go walk about here. It was perfect weather for some evening walking. I had no idea about this memorial park or it’s history but very grateful that it has been preserved and set aside to allow all to enjoy! Thanks for the cache and series.

Find 11 of 32 firstly on a nice walk around the Treeby/Banjup bushland and then on a bike ride around Southern River, starting in on a huge pile of solved puzzles but barely making a dent. Our entertainment today was mainly provided by fratra, LAXA, Dark Energy and Potatonator. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these caches.

All good here.

Sun is out, time for some caching. Surprised Gumnut6160 at the 1st cache searching, great, company! So with a pleasant companion, all caches were found, some easier than others. And we came across a big fat Tiger snake, but luckily it was not interested in us and went on its way.
Lots of wildflowers are out already.

This was my starting point for the series after having parked at S 032° 08.056' E 115° 53.873' (other gates on warton do not have pedestrian access and no parking available on Armadale anymore).
I searched for about 10mjns before Me&B came along so we searched together.
Tricky to find as there are so many fallen branches now in the area.
Thanks for the hide fratra, I now have a caching buddy for the morning!

Thanks for a great walk

Hi there fratra. While today was going to get to 42 degrees, I went out early (9.30 am) to begin this small series, though the cloud cleared before I finished and the heat came down. All caches were found quickly - and the containers and logs are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to fratra for this cache - our find 8354

A quick find. Greetings from Northern Ireland TFTC

My phone didn't like the coords for this one and consistently had me searching a little distance off. Stuck at it though and eventually came up with the goods. Pistol club started up as I was searching here which had me going for a minute. TFTC fratra.

We got new hiking boots so decided to try them out today, had a great walk around here. nice tracks to walk along. Belle our dog loved it . Quick find here log was a little damp.TFTH

Very unnerving have someone letting off rounds in the Pistol club whilst I creep around in the line of fire. Kept low and made a quick find. TFTC

It took us a while to find our way into the reserve with roadworks and new fences blocking off entrances and roads in the area. After a bit of backtracking we found an entry and noted another car parked on the side of the road, it seems we were not the only silly Geocacher on the track today. Thanks for the cache fratra.

Came out for a drive to Treeby on this wet & windy Sunday - aim was to pick up this BMP series and a few others on the way All caches in the series were found easily and all are in good condition. Not surprising considering the weather but I had the reserve to myself today so enjoyed a lovely walk around with the geohound picking up the all the caches here, along with the bonus Managed to dodge the rain too! A great series consisting of quick easy finds - thanks for placing. No problems here today - TFTC

Thanks for the series team Franta. I found all of the series and the multi. I skipped welcome to Treeby as I did not want to jump the fence with a baby in a carrier. I figured it was a easy park and grab I could get later. I’m not confident will my final coordinates and with 10% battery and running out of time I will leave that for another day.

Up early to tackle the BMP series. Quick find here TFTC

Quick and easy find TFTC

I’ve been saving this series until geopup is strong enough to complete the circuit, so lots of sniffing and a few scared moments as a few trucks rumbled past. We managed to get smileys for the whole series. Thanks Frank and Tracy for the enjoyable early morning walk. Tftc

We headed out today to clean up another area on the map with this series on our radar, happy to say we came up trumps with a nice quick find here today TFTC fratra

Nice morning for a quick series before picking up geo son. Nice easy finds on all of these.

TFTC and the history lesson fratra!

The last of the series...finally, and now to work out the puzzle. SL TFTH, fratra.

We decided to head out for a short walk in the bush to see some wild flowers and grab some caches. This series ticked all the boxes. The weather was perfect and we found almost all caches easily.

Thanks fratra for the hide.

Another find in this series. Hope to get it done before the rain sets in.

This was the first cache in the series we attempted after attending a nearby event in Treeby. I walked the circuit with Lazarus_68 and had an enjoyable time in the sunshine. We managed to find all the caches in the series in the one day.

Came out this way to stretch our legs after attending event nearby.
Enjoyed this bush walk and finds; thank you fratra
Note to those attempting next: bring pencil sharpener.

fratra, thanks for setting this series up and the commemoration of those who have served. I was thinking as we did the odd bit of bush bashing how tough these Diggers were. We shall not forget them. All good here.

Another Good Cache All ok here TFTC fratra

Went out today to grab a few caches in this area. TFTH Fratra SL.

We parked near the multi and set off on this almost circular walk. Thankfully most of it was on track but between some it was serious bushwacking plus a few caches near deep sandy tracks. We had a lovely peaceful walk around the area and saw a kangaroo bounding across our track. Of the 12 caches we had one DNF. All of the rest were found in good condition and relatively easy to find. TFTC

Headed out for a morning with the family. Hadnt been to this area before. Really enjoyed the walk around. The kids took turns with the GPS and all were successful with a few finds each. Little miss was pretty tired but i just had to solve the puzzle and find the finale. A nice circuit track with the ability to follow the path most of the way. TFTC

After having a look yesterday I decided to do the series using the bike and hope there would not be too much sand, I hate soft sand. With cooler temperature forecasted I was hoping for a pleasant ride and not a lot of walking.

I located all hides relatively easily except for one which I could just not find and left it to find another and then on my return there is was.

On the home straight now.

Thanks fratra for the cache.

I had wanted to tackle this series on New Years Day when we attended an event close by, but unfortunately the temperature had moved up into the 'too uncomfortable' zone by the time I was leaving the event. I'm not sure it was any cooler today, anyway I had bailed on a trip to Boddington to start the mega LGA trail so I had most of the day free. I completed the series in about 2.5 hours with most of the finds revealing themselves relatively quickly, although a couple had me stumped for a while, including one that I eventually found buried. I appreciated the 50% of the trail which was limestone, and cursed the remaining sandy tracks which seemed to reflect the heat straight up into my face. The trail at the top of the hills afforded a much savoured breeze, but for most of the walk I was drowning in my own sweat. I must have overlooked one of the clues, as I ended up with only 9, however a bit of logical thinking went some way to arriving at a set of likely coords. I drove the geocar the short way to GZ and made a quick find of a nice ammo box. Apologies for the generic log. I think I now have heatstroke. A fave point for the final. TFTC

I had some free time up my sleeve today, I decided that I would have an attempt at finding some caches from this series. The winter-like weather made for a great day to cache without running into dangerous wildlife, though I did get a little bit wet. I managed to find 11/13 before I had to head home. Hopefully I can finish the other two soon.
fratra, I found your cache ‘BMP - W Atkins’ today. It was the tenth find of eleven finds today and my total count now lies at 936. The cache was found in a good condition, so I added my signature to the log book and I replaced it as I found it. Thank you for the cache, the hide and for bringing me to this location.

Had an hour with out the geokids so made the most of it and decided to tackle this series. All easy finds whilst having an enjoyable peaceful walk. Tftc.

My final trad find in the series before heading to the car and off to the final. Thanks again.

In the area for the Treeby event, had a couple of hours up our sleeve to find a few caches first so myself & DangerMouse09 headed bush to find the BMP series This was our first find on our loop of the area & it did take a little while to find as I was looking in the wrong spots! Once I spotted the object it was soon discovered & our names were added to the logbook

TFTC fratra

Have not put the passports away yet so today megawat60 and I headed SOR for the event and afterwards headed to this Park.
Found cache after a couple of minutes, all good! TFTC FRATRA!

Over south again with m4yb for a catch up at an event and get a few more for the tally.
Her find.
Thanks for the smiley fratra

Nice quick find with my grandson..

TFTC..

With the temperature on the rise in the afternoon, we tracked through the series with the two geo-schnauzers in tow to find the balance of containers at pretty much spot on co-ords. Thanks fratra

Decided to head out and finish off this series today. A pleasant stroll along the well formed tracks which took about an hour and a half before I was back at the car. Most caches were found without too much trouble and no sign of Joe Blake on this rather warm day.

A quick find here once I spotted what the hint was referring to. Signed the log to the tune of nearby gunfire.

fratra I found your cache at 12:52pm, this was the 8th of 11 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 4186. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Time to have a go at this series. Our guest dog Barney is having a wonderful time. Started off in beautiful sunshine & it lasted most of the way round. dropped a T.B. TFTC fratra

Had been wanting to finish off this series but with the weather fining up, had decided it would have to wait until next winter. Then we get a horrible winter-like day today so decided, today's the day. Certainly didn't mind a bit of rain but when the wind picked up, it felt cyclonic. Trees were swaying threateningly. Very seriously thought about heading home after a few very heavy showers and only a cheap $2 yellow poncho from red dot to keep me dry but decided we had come this far and were not going home empty handed. Persevered and found all the caches.
This was was found quickly once the correct host was found. TFTC, Fratra!

Thanks fratra for the cache. It was found in Good Condition

This find brings my total number of Finds to 3540.

___________________________________________________________________

I have been meaning to grab these caches for some time, today after dropping the Wife at a function I drove to this spot and started my walk. All the coordinates were very accurate, but the camo did mean you had to do a little searching. A really nice walk, and a great couple of hours in the sun.

After dropping the dog off at grooming we set off to grab some caches that had got published whilst we had been away. This series was first on the list and with perfect walking weather it was a pleasant stroll to find the caches. With good hints and co-ords all the caches were quickly found TFTC fratra

Found this one today with the Jackylegs 44 team, back out on the trails together again. We had made other plans for our day of caching, but things went very awry last night when we were finalising things, and other plans were hastily thrown together, and this series was top of the new list. Arrived here relatively bright and early, and despite the threatening clouds, we managed to work our way around all the caches with nary a sprinkling, luckily. All caches found in good order. Thanks for placing and maintaining all of this series for the rest of us to enjoy fratra. Great swag of smileys so we came away very happy with our spoils. Cheers.

Out and about with Mistraluna, having lots of fun, thanks for a great series. Tftc sl tnln.

We were sitting at home a bit bored and decided to head to this area . We had a great walk and fun finding the caches . A big thanks to fratra for placing this container out here for us to find [^]. Good coordinates and hints are making for quick finds!

fratra - jinta29 found your cache BMP - W Atkins on 23/9/17, 4:20 pm. This is my find #8419 and find #12 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for bringing us to this location and adding to the wonderful spirit of this game!

Found..cache and log in good condition..tftc

(chwiliwr team catch up log)

We came out around lunch and went for a walk around this area after parking the car on the side of the main road near the memorial.

Cache was found without problems. Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks fratra for the cache.

Catching up on some very late logs from 2017.

A nice easy find. TFFC

I was working last night when I saw all these caches get published. I expected they would all be found by the time I got here so I parkesd the car near the memorial and set off to grab them as part of my morning run. The garmin challenge for today is to run 10km and I thought doing these caches would help a bit but after finding them all I had only covered just over 3km so I did a few more laps of the park to get my goal.
This was the first one for the morning and it didn't take too long to locate.

Quick find TFTH

After my previous adventurous run for a epic fail FTF I decided to amble down and get this one in peace since I wasn't being chased anymore. I got startled by a superfit jogger who came sprinting down the dirt track but by this point my heart really wasn't working properly anyways - just nothing left in it to pound. Gunman do that you know hahahaha.
Signed and had to go back to retrieve the clue because Im an airhead sometimes and forget these things.

Great to have some new caches to get close to home this is the shortest drive to get a series of caches I have done for quite some time

TFTC TFTH #anywhereanytime

Cravo was sitting at home when this was published and was instantly texting to get us out to grab the series but I was stuck in Leederville at a dinner so after dropping the Geo wife home and changing footwear we met up to grab the series and hopefully a bunch of FTFs.

WebblyWA had already messaged me and asked if I was in but couldn't make it and her along with jlotsos managed to grab half a dozen of the FTFs, undeterred we wanted to be the FTF on the final cache in the series. After walking he trail and getting absolutely soaked we thought we had the right co ords, but couldn't get one set to work and after realising an error in the COs calculation we made a quick find of the final after moving the car several hundred meters. Thanks fratra for a good night of fun, thankfully a few of the caches we didn't find so I now have some left to fill in my second calendar

Sitting at the dinner table and a bunch of emails come though. Geo wife gives the ok and the click is ticking. 10km from home I grab a geo kid and we race to our first gz. Happy with one {(FTF)} we thought this was a chance for a few. Got a call from Webbly and it's always nice to share a ftf hunt with great geo friends.
Took a while more because we are relaxed and simply enjoying the journey, webbly with the find here and I'm letting out a celebrating yahooo
