The cliffs here are spectacular! The cache was a nice bonus and another solid container easily located while we were exploring this area.
On our 3 month WA holiday and hubby is getting into this new hobby as we explore. TFTC
Owww!! Tight squeeze and prickly but worth it quick find too found within 10min great view
Exploring Windy Harbour whilst on our holidays in the south, this was one of the caches we found on our tour of the area... Wish we could say this was a quick find but it definately wasn't Be prepared for lots of scratchy bushes or you will not find it!!!
TFTC orrsom... Another amazing viewpoint

Tftc. So great to add geocaching to our trail walks. So scratchy. 4 out 4 today.
180ish days since we left home and stated our ‘lap year’ half way in our original time allocation not even close to half way around the country…hmm I guess we won’t be ‘home’ for Christmas….oh well… (shhh don’t tell the grandparents)
Perhaps if I stopped looking at so many rocks trees and beaches we wouldn’t be taking so long…then there are the flowers, old things and street art that keeps catching our attention.. maybe it’s the Geocaches… what ever it is, we are having a bloody brilliant time and I wouldn’t change a thing!
Thanks for being one of the awesome caches we found this week.

A quick easy find whilst out sightseeing for the day during our weeks stay in the area. Travelling with Lidds and Miss Goosey.
Found it! And it even had a pen in it, which was lucky! Thanks for the cache as it inspired my kids to actually take the cliff top walk. Love the place!
Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
Another orrsom walk for orrsom views.
Thanks for the hide and orrsom.

So great to come here for some ocean watching. No whales but the amazing power of the swell and waves. Tops a great drive and a great day. Oh and found a cache too, thanks!
We are taking some time off over the Christmas holidays to travel around the South Coast of WA starting at Esperance and heading west.
We saw a couple of emus near the carpark before we headed down to grab this one. It took a few minutes of searching to find this one.
This was find number 7 for the day.

We came on a cracker of a day. Not too cold or too hot. Quick find with Panda Dundee. TFTC
Day 2 of our getaway took us from Denmark across to windy Harbour, and of course grabbing some caches on the way!
Awesome place, even spotted some whales from the lookout!

Amazing scenery that you can see here. We found the cache but it was a bit scratchy.

Lovely walk to this cache with a great view point. With a bit of scrabbling Cruiser 1 found it. Found a Trackable inside code: ETZ6GB (Bitte fotografier' mich mit echten Paprikas) Have taken to it's next destination. WILL NEED TO REPLACE ONCE WE ARE OUT OF SELF ISOLATION DUE TO CORONAVIRUS. TFTC
Today we only went from Sid's Campground to Windy Harbour. But also there we could find some caches. Thank you for putting.
Found while exploring Windy Harbour while on our lap of Aust. Cache and log in good condition. Thanks for the cache
Found during my half lap advanture from Adelaide. Container and log need replacing. TFTC.
Another stunning lookout. No whales around, or people for that matter! Great place to sit and watch the powerful swell. TFTC!
On a southwest trip with seabreeze oz, mistraluna and team red roo, we dropped by to grab the cache. How cool are the views Tftc.
On a Caching adventure with Charlie, Mistraluna, Red Roo, Sharkcaver and Kaitlin
Last night we camped at the Pemberton caravan park
Today was a bit of a slow start, we took our time this morning having a relaxing morning
Shane made breakfast for the kids and they went off exploring and having fun
Meanwhile we packed up the camp
Mistraluna and Wayne had set off early to go find some local caches so we took our time packing up camp
Once we were just about done the others returned and we set off on the days adventure
Our sixth cache for today
had spotted the lighthouse at the top of the hill and made a bee line to it so I could get some photos to be able to log a find as a GCA virtual cache and in doing so I had lost contact with the group as they had set off to find this cache
When I realized they had not followed me I back tracked to find them
We met up on the board walk lookout
The views here were amazing, we enjoyed soaking in the coastal scenery and the fascinating rock formations

A small group of us came down this way on our South Coast Tag Along Cache Tour (which was the brain-child of SeabreezeOZ). I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make the trip, not having a "real" 4 wheel drive of my own, but Team Red Roo was more than happy to have me as a passenger to keep him company along the way. We all met up and camped at Alexandra Bridge the first night, then had a small event at Karridale before setting off. We headed east then south making our way to East Augusta where we picked up a couple of caches, including that had been taunting us for quite a while, never being able to get within cooee of it. That out of the way, we again headed east and south towards Black Point where we camped the next night. The track was a real adventure and there was some awesome scenery along the way too. The two earthcaches were our target the next morning before hitting the track again, making our way down to Jasper Beach for a lonely cache, then to Lake Jasper for the next night of camping under the stars. Beautiful scenery to be enjoyed, and the wildlife was impressive too, with quite a few different species being spotted along the way. Anyway, we got two more caches, including the really lonely (over 4 years unfound) Cattlemans Camp - talk about an adventure getting to that one and back out again. 100% find rate on all the caches on our list thus far, and sadly the time had come to get back on the bitumen. We followed our noses (aka gps units) from cache to cache as we worked our way towards Pemberton yesterday afternoon, spending the night at the Pemby Caravan Park and having a pub dinner. The hot showers were blissfully enjoyed too after three nights spent roughing it whilst off-road. We were the first to be packed up and ready to go this morning, so left the others to it and went off to find a cache or two, meeting up with them when they were finally ready to pull out.
After a few caches around Pemberton this morning, we returned to Beedalup Falls where we had trouble finding a cache yesterday - found today though, and all is again good in our worlds. We visited Lake Yeagerup before tackling the Heartbreak series where the scenery was spectacular. The kids had had enough of caching by this time and the lure of the nearby Bicentennial Tree kept them occupied for an hour or so while they waited for us to catch up. After having a bite to eat, it was time to head on down towards Windy Harbour where we planned to spend the night. Great location and one I know I will return to another time to really explore some more. Had only ever visited Windy Harbour once before, and didn't even come up to this headland to see the awesome coastal scenery - really beautiful part of WA. Fav point for showing me what I had missed before. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to come and find orrsom, and for adding a whole bunch of smileys to our South Coast TACT adventure.

Third pickup on the Windy Harbour visit. Such a dramatic vista. Loved the sculpted limestone outcrops. Spent a very pleasant day doing the walking tracks and of course picking up the geocaches. Perfect day to experience this awesome scenery.
Just caught my first salmon so thought I would get a couple caches. No pen, only wear thongs on my feet made this a slightly painful find.

Was a bit reluctant to step off the track as we had just seen a snake go on into the bush a few metres back, but I was brave and found the cache
