Quick find whilst running from Denmark to Albany on the Bibb trail- 18km to go now! Tftc
Loved the trails thru here, and more spectacular coastal scenery. Stood and watched the wave action for a while Got up close and personal with a wind turbine They really are huge!I didnt know what type of bush to look for, not that it matters. A sidestep and there was the cache Dropping off a **FAVE** for the location. Well worth the short drive out to the wind farm. Now I need a rest TFTC ilt
Not a tube, black sistema, only 1m from path so nice easy find.On our trek on the Bibbulmun and happy to find a few caches along the way! (Apologies for the late logs but only getting to the logging now, logs dated as per found date though!)Thank you iluvtrekking for placing and maintaining Swish Swish! for us and others to find and enjoy!
During our two-month trip through New Zealand and Australia, we drove from Albany to Walpole today.Before we drove to Walpole we first visited a few caches near Albany. This cache was found.**iluvtrekking**, thanks for the cache.
We are currently on a eight week holiday which is mostly spent in New Zealand and Australia. However, the first three days were spent in Singapore as a nice break from an otherwise long flight. We had about three weeks in New Zealand which went by too quickly. The remaining five weeks are spent in Australia. Today we are driving from Albany to Walpole. Not a long drive so in the morning we have a nice walk on part of the Bibbulmun Track. We walk from Frenchman Bay to Sandy Beach. Nice green area and the weather is splendid. More or less at the end of our walk is this cache and naturally we have a look. The cache is found quickly without any problem. Thank you very much for this cache.
Third time to try and find this. Sneakers and long pants helped us to bravely venture in What a great view
Small sistema, 1 m from track.Found whilst walking the Bibbulmun Track.We enjoyed visting all the information about the turbines, the weather and the Aboriginal seasons.The lookouts were sensational.Having already walked along them on the Bibbulmun Track (and ultimately doing over 25 km with our decent packs) we didnt feel compelled to do the extra 2 km wind turbine walk.TFTC, the views and information
Out on my Adventurous Women trek. Stopped here for lunch then did the walk to admire these amazing machines. WA do things so right. Cache in excellent condition. Greetings from Melbourne. Thanks for the cache
Found while walking the Bibbulmun track for the 25th anniversary walk. Thanks for the cache
Found with Tanza, we were looking on the wrong side, entirely my fault I got too keen and didn't look at the map completely. Once on correct side it was an easy find. The views on this trail are stunning.
Second time lucky!
A couple years later and we’re back, found it this time round.
Disappointing to see so much damaged plantation around the area, so much for keep to the track.

I came, I saw, I was surrounded by muggles. In hindsight, New Years Day not a good day to go hunting things in popular tourist locations
Easy find, but had to wait for a group of muggles who decided to stretch their group along the entire walkway.
Found withLittle_Thistle (who doesn’t have premium!!). Lots of lizards. TFTC!
Exactly at coordinates. Well hidden. Took us three times. Went back for a lost jumper and found!
Woohoo !!! Found it !!!
Out with my 2 GeoDaughers finding treasures as they like to call them
Ticked this one off the list

I woke up at 6am to be able to head out to the wind farm to watch the sunrise with my partner @jamesknowlson. While watching the sunrise we got out the geocaching app and saw that there were loads of caches to be found today that we have seen on our maps and never found loads of times.
First we found the caches near the wind farm look outs and the shelter and then we headed back to the car to drive to the caches out at the further away wind turbines. The first struggle was our car needed to be driven through a massive puddle to continue on but luckily James’ Navara did the trick.
James was surprised when this cache was at a different spot then he remembered which was because it had been moved since he last found it. I signed the log as JS & JK and away we went. TFTC iluvtrekking

Got close checked out area very, very close to path. To scared to venture in off path in case the swish swish was a wriggly. Beautiful view so well worth the walk. Loved it.
Did not find... align with the previous two searchers. Our first unsuccessful trip! Beautiful walk though!
Looked both sides of the walk way, lots of dead leaf litter, cant find it anywhere.
Time for a get away and enjoy the delights of the near Great Southern, Enjoying the sights the walks and of course some caches.

Final day in Albany and managed a few finds that have stayed on the map for too long. In general it was a nice day with the blue skies coming out whilst searching for geocaches
A beautiful afternoon to get out and find some caches. We were impressed by all the caches we found this afternoon and the walk to this cache was just stunning and the dolphin pod surfing the waves was a bonus. Just a stunning place. TFTC.

Hi there iluvtrekking.
We found your cache **"Swish Swish!"** at 10:52:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 23968).
We're staying in Albany for a few weeks, and today we decided to attempt a few caches around the Wind Farm. We found 5 caches & DNF'd 2.
Thanks for placing this cache here. Over the years, Geocaching has taken us on many adventures and to lots of wonderful destinations all over Australia. Without 'caching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wanderings. 'Caching has also introduced us to a diverse group of like-minded people, many of whom we now call friends.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing.
Thank you iluvtrekking for adding to our adventure.
Regards
Ian & Penny

Set off on my bike this morning around 10 to pick up some smileys around the Sand Patch/ Wind Farm area.
This cache was snapped up rather quickly thanks to a little colour give away on the lid.
Hearing muggles creeping up the board walk slowly, I hurried the log and put it back immediately making it out just in time.
All is good here.

Another amazing place to visit, fabulous views and a lovely walk picking up the 3 caches here. Stamped and returned. TFTC
Found on an afternoon out with mini-me and her cousins. Lots of fun with the cousins
Staying in Albany for a few days, we had completed the A series & then cached our way back into town... After making the short walk to GZ we sat to admire the view whilst waiting for some muggles to pass! DangerMouse09 made the quick grab before some more muggles approached from the opposite direction
Despite the wind, the views from here were spectacular... Thanks for bringing us here iluvtrekking

Nice to sit here and enjoy the view and the sound of the waves crashing down below. Tftc
I took a short walk along the Bibbulmum Track from Albany Wind Farm today and stopped to find this cache on the way back. The coastal views were amazing and I enjoyed visiting the wind farm too. I stopped to watch the swish swishing of the closest turbine for a while. Pretty noisy and and a bit scary when you're right underneath!
Thanks for the cache:-)
Thanks for the cache:-)
Enjoyed the walk along the track to the cache location. Even being a 'local' the views along here never cease to amaze. Found after a short search, and not where we expected it to be. TFTC
Amazing views and huge turbines. Enjoyed our walk along the track. Beautiful views. TFTC
