Logs
The cache container has a big hole at the bottom and is quite brittle. Log is dry and fine though. Covered it with some tree bark to protect it from the rain. TFTC
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.
Scared off another two Roos on the approach to this one! Cheers fratra!

Took a bit of finding, so we were very happy to get it. Wet inside. Dried it out. Log fine. Thanks.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this series Fratra. Your coordinates and hints were spot on
We took the long way around to this one and stayed to the path until we knew the path just circled this one. Once at gz we made a nice quick find and left our mark on your log. We returned your cache back to where we found it. Now onto the next one. TFTC fratra.
Enjoying the walk with axell33. This area has changed so much. This little piece of bush is lovely amount all the traffic, lights and noise and now we have planes returning to our sky’s. TYFTC.
Find 9 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.
Bit of a bash across to this one and pleased to pop out on the track again without too much bark off. 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.

Out picking up this series with my new found geo friend Me&B.
Found without issues but a little more cautious now after having seen a snake
Thanks for the hide fratra

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 8352
Thank you for this lovely series of caches. Straight forward series there to be found. My granddaughter of 2 and a half was introduced to geocaching and really enjoyed it. A few more to get before my return home.
Path here was starting to get a bit wild and wooly-bushy! (Sorry - Dad "humour" sneaking out). TFTC fratra.
Another quick find here great walking around for Belle she loved it we never seen any Kangaroos today. TFTH
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.
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 and claimed a smilie 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!

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.
Thanks fratra for the hide.
Found the cache while walking the circuit with Lazarus after attending a nearby event in Treeby
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.

Most of these weren't too far from the tracks which saved the lower legs from getting too badly scratched about. All is great with this one; Thanks fratra.
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.
Second bit of sand, again when back to the limestone track.
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 - B Goodman’ today. It was the eighth 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.
I think this is the one I really struggled to navigate to. Picked my way through scratchy bush and was pleased to log another find. Thanks.
Out for a some bonding time with DangerMouse09, this was the next find on our loop through Banjup Memorial Park Around about here, I started to think that perhaps we didn't start in the correct spot for the series but not to worry, we found our way & DM09 made a quick find here!

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 with good coords.
fratra I found your cache at 11:53am, this was the 1st of 11 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 4179. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

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.
Can't quite remember which one this was. Had totally lost my bearings at this point and was starting to dry out in the windy conditions. Decided I had totally lost my mind as well. Crazy! but just had to get one more. (sound like an addict) I'll hunt the next one on the way back to the car. TFTC! All well with all well camoed caches.

Thanks fratra for the cache. It was found in Good Condition
This find brings my total number of Finds to 3542.

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
Absolutely perfect day for this series! Got up, tanked up on coffee and hit the road with the kids to do the whole series before Grand Final time
Cant tell you how much we enjoyed today. The sun and wildflowers and caches nice and close to the track all the way around this beautiful reserve. Spot on co-ords and awesome trades for the kids who continued to trade their way around the reserve which was quite amusing.
There was a fair bit of gunfire today...MrsVF however was calm and collected. Shes immune now LOL.
Love a bush series that can be done safely even in snake season - no heavy bush terrain here and you can see where your walking at all times thanks to the CO's cache positioning. Perfect attribute.
Wonderful series here Fratra!! Hope some generic logs are ok for the series - will leave a different one for the Mystery Cache:)

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!

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

Out for a morning run on my way to 10km and grab a couple of caches on the way. I had just heard that there may still be an FTF up for grabs but it wasn't this one.

**FTF** with Cravo10
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
