Critter Crusade 2 Hillman, Western Australia, Australia
By CJ_252 on 30-Sep-17. Waypoint GC7D0B2

I arrived in Perth from Canberra (via Melbourne) yesterday for a ten-night holiday. Having done not much today, its nice to get out for a walk in the late afternoon sunshineThanks for the cache, CJ_252! The cache is in good condition.

Maintenance log:Date - 31/8/2024Time - 13:08Action - preemptive check of cache. All in good condition.

Easy find, just be careful to check for shiny sticks. I found this towards the end of March, and my snake-o-meter was dipping into the red zone. Unlike me, just wear jeans and you should be right.TFTC

Found this one Must admit I hesitated going closer when I first spotted it.TFTC

Thanks fir the cache.

Thanks

Yay on a roll now!

A quick stop as one passed. TFTC

One of the less desirable areas. Someone’s wet sleeping bag and take away containers and clothes littering the area. Found the cache. Suitable critter for the location.

We had a great walk around finding the caches and this is one we found. All good here log signed and replaced where found. On to the next one. Thanks CJ_252..

Cache in good condition.


This is my 3944 find.
Thank you Cirrus_WA for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!
(I’m not a geologist I just like puns)

A nice an easy find for Geo-Bunny, just at the right height. With signing duties sorted it was replaced as found ready for the next geo-adventurers. Thanks goes to the CO for bringing us to this location.

Great nick here. Thanks for making the effort to set this one up for us

Out and about in Rocko while getting my windscreen replaced on Dixon Rd (broken on a caching run near the hard hat tree out the back of Collie). I had three hours to kill, so it was time to get the MTB out and ride and cache.

I initially DNF’ed this one this morning but after a helping hint from the CO, I dragged back some leaf litter to make the find. Time to scurry off to the next one!

TFTC Cirrus WA

Found it!! TFTC

nice little series this one! definitely on the cautious approach when looking for these little critters haha!! TFTC!!

Found you my first little critter. Quick find. All intact. TFTC

Today is a lovely day - she mostly found it before me but we had a good fun -
Thanks Cirrus_WA for the cache and hide place. [^][^]

Our first find in the series. A good one to start with since it set the standard for the type of container to follow. Thanks.

Second for the day. Look down low.

Another critter captured.

I came, I saw, I signed the log. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Waiting on replacement container.

Unable to check on this one today, will disable until I can get out on the weekend to have a look.

Nice quick find thanks

Found the cheeky lil thing. TFTC

We came. We hunted. We did not find.

Thanks CJ_252 but we had no joy here today.

We parked close by and ducked in through a gap in the fenceline. We stepped as quietly as we could in the dry leaves and just looked for the cache without moving as much as possible.
We sighted the cache after a minute and grabbed the vital number. We need to get back and complete the series but we are in no hurry. I have this strange feeling we may have lost the numbers from some of the earlier ones we found on this or another series in the area so we may never get around to finding the final. ( we never revisit caches we have found).
Thanks for the cache.

Got it but we don’t like them bugs

It took a little time until I saw it. But nice hide. Tftc

The Better Half and Chwiliwr came south for a caching trip to accumulate some more close together finds for the Mystery at the Museum. They picked me up from Wellard and then we all went caching.

Cache found, log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks to the CO for placing this cache for us to find.

In the area making deliveries and had a few minutes to spare so thought I'd see if I could grab a couple of smilies. After coming up trumps at #1 I decided I had enough time to make a dash for this one. Luckily it was a quick find and I remembered to record the clue as well.

Cirrus_WA I found your cache at 1:09pm, this was the 2nd of 3 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 5499. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Out with the geokids hunting some caches. We enjoyed this series with all the different critters. Thanks for placing hopefully we can come back to avenge our dnf.

The cars in for a service so taking the opportunity to grab some quick caches in the area.

Not too hard to find, thanks to the hint. Clue noted, log signed and cache replaced as found. Tftc

Haha love this cache, my 7 year old campoin picked it up and he freaked out!!! TFTC

Cheeky little critter almost had me.
Tftc
Was having difficulty nailing the gps

Quick find TFTH

Love these quick finds. TFTC

Great little cache, lovely trail, a few muggles along here, but it’s a great walk ️
TFTC

Car due for a service today so perfect opportunity to catch a few caches in the area...lol, like i need an excuse!
Loved solving your cache and loved seeing all the wildlife on the way, birds, butterflies, even a bobtail!
TFTC! Nice work, really enjoyed it!

Cache is back up and running.

Please make sure as you go to retrieve the log sheet please do not put pressure on the creature, just the container.

All repairs complete and will head out this weekend to get back in place.

Down for maintenance

Despite the miserable drizzling day I was finally coerced out into the wilds of our local area for a day of caching - the first in ages, I'm ashamed to say!
This series of caches made for a very pleasant and overdue leg stretch. Most of them needed a fair bit of searching, despite the hints, and the critters are detached or missing from their containers. It's a pity that locations like this can't have decent sized containers, but they are now getting few and far between, it seems.
Many thanks for this cache, the exercise and the series, CJ_252

Earlier this week I asked urch if she had started collecting any of her mythical creatures. She didn't know what I was talking about, and a plan was soon hatched to remedy that situation, despite the weather trying to stop us. We both looked at where we should head for, and this Lakelands seemed a good place to start, being our closest to home not found. From there we continued on northwards, stopping here and there as we looked for caches that neither of us had yet earned our smileys. After having a yummy lamb souvlaki for lunch, was nice to get out and stretch our legs as we tackled this series. Found this one by a process of elimination. All good with both cache and critter. Signed our names, noted the info, replaced cache as found and continued on to the next one. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to find CJ_252.

A pleasant stroll catching cute and creepy critters.

TFTC CJ_252 this is find # 4760 for us.

Found at 8:27:00 AM.

I arrived here and my GPSr wanted me to stay on the track to search. So I did what everyone should do, I ignored it and read the hint. Soon after I had the prize in hand and clue in my book.


Thanks for the cache CJ_252, it was cache number 2469 for me and was number 4 in my run of 18 finds and 0 DNFs for today's geocaching effort.

Cheers

Found it

Finally after about 30 minutes searching it was at gz. Well hidden and a nice cammo . SL TFTC CJ252

Thankyou

Leega made the find on this one. All six down and now onto the final. TFTC Cj_252

A late afternoon walk with axell33 and the geohounds in a local piece of bush that I have driven past a million times! And, as we do, have started this series in the middle. Critter 6, last one for the magical coordinate clues. Now forhe final. Thank you.

Went for an evening stroll with the geodog Stan, all caches found in good condtion

Spotted this one with ease, signed the log and headed to the final

TFTC

Was about to give up and was convinced that cache was buried under the fresh debris. Thankfully checked the clue and found the critter. TFTC.

Needed to go for a walk this afternoon, so decided that this series needed to be turned in a series of smilies.

Nice accurate coordinates meant that I quickly found the critters.

Thanks CJ_252 for bringing me to this location, and for the cache. It was found in Good Condition and I returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 3630.

Out and about with richlink to polish off the latest offerings in the Civilisation caches. When we had finished them it was off to this series and a few other caches in the area.

All in all we had a great day, thank you CJ_252 for your contribution, your efforts are much appreciated.

Beautiful day to be out caching with iluvtrekking. So glad to see that the area had been slashed recently but we were still on the lookout for slithery things. No critter guarding this container. Thanks CJ-252

We headed to this area before the heat of the day.

Hi there CJ_252, we were out geocaching in this area today, 5/11/17, and found your cache Critter Crusade 2 GC7D0B2 at 10:05 am. Thanks for taking the time to place this cache out here for us to find!

This brings our cache find to a total of 8878.

Teamed up with Barnzy12 and Cravo10 to do this series. Bit concerned about the long grass we were walking through but no slithery creatures were seen. All the critters were found with one or two that took a bit of searching. It was good to find an ammo can at the final but be careful as there was a lot of bees at GZ there. An enjoyable series TFTC CJ 252

A nice day out for caching warm but not too warm.

Headed out to civilisation land to grab a few caches we've missed on previous visits. Got three caches in but was a bit worried about snakes with the 80-100m walks into the bush so gave it in after three caches.

Headed down to wellard to meet up with OOH YEH To team up and grab the new critter series in Hillman. Was a rough walk through the area, lots of prickles and alike filling shoes and socks and finding a bunch of micro caches.

Terrain was a bit snakey but all ok and managed to make a find of the final quickly in a bit of an unexpected area. Thanks for the series.

Out with B12 and OOHYEH TFTH TFTC

Found a fellow geocacher

So we were SPEWING when these caches got published yesterday morning as they are literally 50m from our front door......
Yet we were up in Treeby on a FTF Hunt and missed out on the prize close to home

Thanks for placing this series! Great having some caches so close to home!

Quick find on #2 TFTC
