12/10/24 on a 3mth working holiday with Defcon_6 we enjoyed doing this cache in the evening with less muggles around. TFTC

Kyms Adventure and I are on a WA campervan trip working holiday and nabbing some caches on the way Cache Experience: Was in Bunbury visiting a friend and we all went to the ship in for Dinner then was showing our friend the Geocaching map when we said WOW TYERES ONE RIGHT HERE!! We then looked around GZ and were explaining the possibilities the bam we had it in hand! Our friend was amazed! Muggle converted! Cache Condition: container good, log almost full This is cache number:50720:15TFTC!!!

Found by Mary and David at 16:40. Only 4 spaces left. After a fruitless search, we resorted to a PAF. We had looked there as well as old bones allowed, but tried again from a different spot, and managed to spot it. Staying not far away, and have dined at the Ship Inn each night. Our thanks to Falcon351.

Thanks

Tricky little one when it comes down to it

An early start for WAGB24, I thought I would grab a few smilies on my way down. Happy to come up trumos hereSome logs signed as N20 This is my 13976 find Thankyou Falcon351for placing and maintaining this cache for others to find .

Found at 3:10 PM GAFF1.Now there was a very opportune cache for us! We were heading back to camp and had to stop at Dan Murphy's and look what is just outside the entrance to the car park! A nice cache that didn't take too long to find, but just had to wait for the traffic light cycle to change so that the cars that were lined up didn't see my effort at replacing the cache Thanks to Falcon351

Really should have taken a minute or two based on the logs, but this took me ten minutes! I didnt look hard enough, it was an easy enough cache actually despite the high D rating. A rainy day in Busselton makes muggles go away, so muggles were not an issue. I was here today for a day trip further down south in Busselton, after a day trip in Mandurah. This is my second day in Western Australia, and am spending a week here. TFTC and greetings from Singapore!

Quick find under the close observation of the children in the playground. TFTC

I don't know if this location would ever be muggle free but our timing could have been as good as it gets. There's no easy way to be stealthy, we just went for it and hoped for the best. At least it was quick. TFTC Falcon351.

Good spot

We decided to walk around town and grab a few caches. Made a mice quick find here.Thanks for the cache

Found it TFTC Found in good condition

After eating a yummy meal, I opened the ap to be delighted to find one soooo close. Did not take long to find. Tftc

Quick find, not sure why the D is so high but love an easy find nonetheless!Arrived in beautiful Busselton a couple of days ago to add some more LGAs to our tally, stopped here for a few days before heading to Dunsborough, Margaret River and Augusta. Day 1 was an afternoon cycle along the beautiful foreshore, day 2 was a handful of caches between sight-seeing and golfing and day 3 was a fun day to get the Busso Challenge! We had alot of fun in a beautiful town and collected alot of smilies! Thanks to all the COs for our fun!Thank you Falcon351 for placing and maintaining Anchors away for us and others to find and enjoy!

TFTC found . Nice easy find.

Quick find whilst waiting for pizza. TFTC

Easy!

Bend over!

Down in Busso for the weekend, and there's a few caches on my hit list while here, including a bunch of solved puzzles, some completed challenges and a few unloved hides Of course there is always room to squeeze in a few more that I'm passing, or happen to be nearby This establishment was this evening's dinner venue so of course I excused myself for a few minutes and popped out to make the find. Not many options at GZ so I soon had the container pinpointed... now, how to get to it... luckily no-one around is all I'll say! No problems here today - TFTC

Tftc

Found in the first place I put my hand.

??

Limited options available at GZ and took a seat and claimed the find.

Thanks Falcon351 for placing Anchors away for me and others to find.
I added my name to the log at 10:34 on 19/3/2023.
This is find number 6931 for me.

Enjoying a short a trip to W.A. and surrounding areas with tmann421
Saw lots of sites and enjoyed the finds.
Thanks to the cache owners for the efforts involved in their hides.

*Another geocaching adventure with woolwood9.*
*We visited many good caches and trails on our trip in WA and had a lot of fun!*
Really appreciate the cache owners effort putting this container out.

All logs stamped: *tm/ww NZ*
I missed it but ww9 soon had it located.

Quick find tftc

Yay easy find TFTC

Cache #4 for the siblings. TFTF

No muggles around this morning so a reasonably quick find here.

Again I walked to my next cache, having to cross busy roads again.
I got to GZ and located the spot, but I had only moments to look before the traffic stopped adjacent. The cycle of the lights meant I had to wait quite a bit for another opportunity. I dashed in again and had enough time to spot the cache from the other side before the traffic stopped again.
After another wait the traffic started to move, but a muggle was walking past so I missed that cycle. But the traffic appears to be lessening. So by the next cycle the traffic had cleared quickly and I was able to dash in and grab the cache.
Then I signed the log and waited for the next cycle of the traffic lights to put it back. As soon as it was back a smoker turned up, so given the gaps a short and far between I count myself lucky.

No pen so photo for proof

TFTC! Previously tried but couldn't find as too many muggles but got success today!

Really good find, im short so this one was easy.

It was a wet and windy Sunday in Busselton, so some caching was organised to fill in the day. This was a quick and easy find as the rain had driven all the muggles indoors, and I could search freely.

Good find for the kids. All in good condition, tftc

Nice

Down in Busselton for a long weekend, making use of a spare bed made available to me for the weekend. This was one of the finds made.

Quick find before I hit the frog and toad back to Perth before everyone gets out of bed and checks out. Cheers Falcon351!

Quick find in between muggles. Started our 2nd tour of WA now touring around the south and now checking out Busselton. 25 January 2022 3:28 pm Tyfc Falcon351 total caches now 3760

Quick find at 7.30pm fewer muggles. TFTC

Quick find on a sunday morning. Tftc.

We had just placed our order for a Chinese takeaway when we noticed that this cache was just over the road. So, while the meal was prepared, we went to look for this cache. We were very lucky as we made an very quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Falcon351 for the cache.

Kids loved this spot. Thanks!

Nicely done!

Thanks for placing this one here for us to enjoy. I’ve been past here a few times and it has always been busy here today I just went in for the find

Busy time of day but managed to retrieve the cache unnoticed (I think).
Waited for the traffic to clear before replacing. TFTC Falcon351

A quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Staying at Ship so couldn’t resist. Thanks Falcon 351

Took Geo-Junior for a stroll to run off some energy and found some caches in town.
This one was a quick find, once we looked at the right object... Hint: the hint is in the name, don't pull the fence apart! (Maybe my gps was just playing up again, but it was sure we were supposed to be on the fence!)
Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache Falcon351! Great hide!

TFTC

Very cool. Have a good look round. Tftc

Nice

Found with SharknSparkle on a busso geotour.

Walked around for awhile i would go to find it at night time though

Quick find after a meal at the pub. Expected a long search looking at the difficulty but was easy. TFTC

We are down in the Busselton area for a few days visiting our newest grandaughter. In between the visiting we popped out to grab a couple of caches.
I had a look for this one a couple of days ago and thought I would try again before heading back to Perth. I spotted something i hadn't noticed before that made more sense. Had a closer look and soon found it.

This was find number 2 for the day.

Finally our girls weekend has arrived Kapelula, Meme28, Geotrekka and I C Nothing are heading south with four full days of caching to celebrate some birthdays and geo milestones. We have been puzzling like crazy in preparation so our aim is to find those caches and everything else that takes our fancy. Maybe even a challenge or two. Signed log as Kameingt.

Away on a girls weekend to Bussleton with ICnothing, Kapelula and meme28. Hoping to hit some milestones during our adventures. Signing as a team this weekend KAMEINGT. Thank you to all the COs for placing their caches along the way for us to enjoy. Out after dinner dodging the drunks Thanks for placing this for us to enjoy

Well we had dinner here last night and missed the cache as we didn’t even look, back for a second round, the cache was in hand.
Heading south with Kapelula ICNothing and geotrakka (KAMEINGT) on our girls weekend.

Found whilst out on an extended weekend road trip to Busselton, Dunsborough and surrounds with I C Nothing, Meme28 and geotrakka. Signed log as KAMEINGT.

Find 7 of 8 with one DNF for the afternoon, on a bike ride around windy Busso, fitting these physical (and virtual) caches in around the three adventure labs and trying to piece a sensible route to join them all up!

All good here, busy Friday traffic but no issues.

TFTC Falcon351!

Easy find as it was actually EVh06 who did the finding and I took advantage of it. Saves the knees. Thanks EVh06. Appreciated the brief chat with you.

Tftc

After getting closer to the centre of the earth we found the reasonable sized cache for its location.
No one around to bother us so it was quick to do.

Nice quick find on a Sunday morning. No muggles. TFTC

Tall boyfriend found one in small girlfriends neck of the wood!

Tough find with many muggles around!

Being here on holidays we have done a maintaince run and all is good to go.

Hi there Falcon351.

We found your cache **"Anchors away"** at 10:32:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 23697).

The day promised to be another warm one, so we decided that logging some caches around Busselton would be a good idea. We thoroughly enjoyed our drive, walks and the scenery - even though the flies were particularly "sticky" today.. We found 5 caches & DNF'd 1.

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:** Smiley Badge.

Thank you Falcon351 for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Having been close to the area for work we ventured a little further for a select few caches in the area. This was the first and while the phone was not that accurate today we headed for the obvious item and with a break in the muggle had a search and came up trumps for a find. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.

Nice find on Sunday morning. Not good at other times. Tftc

We decided to get away for an overnight road trip and Busselton was the place that we headed for. We meandered along our planned route picking up both GC and GCA caches as well as Waymarks and Sighters. We were having a blast tripping around this wonderful part of the State. This cache was one we grabbed on our travels. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Falcon351, I was in this area today and found your cache Anchors away GC7MYM1. I added my name to the log book at 11:29 am on 2 November 2019. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

This cache find brings our total find count to 11040. Woohoo!!

A bottle shop with a historical cache? Awesome! After retrieving a lost ball for some kids playing in the play area and learning the timings of the traffic lights, I had my window to strike and get the cache in plain sight. CO: Sorry - wrote the wrong log for the wrong cache at first. TFTC

I am currently visiting WA from Adelaide for a few weeks, travelling mostly around the southwest, exploring, visiting friends and family and finding a few caches along the way. Today was a leisurely day finding a few more caches around Busselton before heading up to Bunbury.

A quick find.

Thanks Falcon351 for the cache.

Cache was out in the open. Have tucked it back where it belongs. TFTC

Lots of people around but was able to find it thank you

Quick find by D1 before I even got to the item mentioned in the name.

Time to head to Dans for some refreshments for the rest of the journey!

Had totally forgotten to log this cache after finding it on holidays with Harrowang - had lost the piece of paper and just found it while having a spring clean up! TFTC!

Visiting from Victoria - 4 adults, 1 tweenager, 2 caching teams - Harrowang & Beavar. Today we are travelling south from Perth to Busselton and picking up caches along the way. Finally made it to our destination for tonight. Having booked in and enjoyed some local cuisine, it was time to walk a little and explore our surroundings, albeit in the dark. Walked across the road, and initially thought we would be muggled out, but we searched anyway and R from Beavar came up with the goods. Easier to do in the dark apparently!

Quick easy find while holidaying in Busselton. TFTC

Sneaky find while having a chilled Sunday sesh, lunch and drinks while kids played. Thank you!!

Found at 5.30am before too many muggles were around and it’s a good to feel the cache the first place you put your hand.

'Tis Christmas Day and as they say, let's go caching anyway. We are visiting the west of our great land and are staying in Busselton, the same as ilook4geo. So off we went after enjoying a festive lunch, but just picked up a selected bunch. Some had a higher muggle factor than others, but this just added to the challenge. Thanks go to Falcon351 for this nice find and we were on the move again after duties had been completed.

Staying in Busselton meant that after a lovely Christmas lunch, some caching was on the program along with goingplaces2. We found a good selection and enjoyed the afternoon. Thank you to each of the COs who placed these caches. All logs were signed as required.

Down South for some R&R and a few caches as we wander around. While the good wife was shopping I had a little walk about. This one was quicker than the last one.

Thanks Falcon351 for the cache.

Found with grandaughter

Good hide. TFTC

Quick find. Tftc

We headed out today to complete the very busy busso day challenge, this was the second type of cache off the list, happy to say we came up trumps and walked away with a smilie TFTC
