OCW PelDroedGwin. Excited to do The Loop this morning such amazing scenery in every direction. Nice to down at river level to really appreciate the scale. Cache safely tucked away, signed log before rehoming the trail. Tftc
Yesterday we loved the great circular walk and found the cache well and although it is far from the who. Thanks for placing and maintaining it.
On the beautiful hike along this gorge we discovered this cache. We found it quickly. Thank you.
Today was a perfect temp for hiking.. warm with a good breeze. We still hadn't decided if we would do the full Loop but by the time we reached the river we had. This is such a scenic walk we were going to keep going. The cache was found quickly and we settled in for lunch by the river. There was another group a bit further up but they were gone by the time we started back on the loop.The signs don't leave you in any doubt that the next part involves a bit more effort and that quickly became apparent where the arrow pointed around the ledge at the water. A scramble through there and the rest was a relaxing walk along the river's edge with a few rocky bits to navigate in places. We only saw one other person on the second part of the loop. This is an excellent walk with rugged scenery and beautiful sandstone features all the way. TFTC Titan142, FP!
Found 09:38Three months in Australia with Muggle friends; stopover in Singapore on the outward and return flights. Caches and labs where they are on the way and can be done without too much effort. You may forgive me for using the same standard phrase everywhere, but there's not much more to it than that. Many thanks to all the owners for making our hobby possible. If there is anything wrong with the cache, more detailed information follows.
Started the loop trail early to get around the midday heat and did well. Been the only people on the trail today as it seems. Container was quickly found and in good condition. Thank you for the cache.
We visited the natural window and started the loop walk. We were surprised that the whole walk around we didn't see anyone else. We stopped a few times. The colours on the eroded rock overhangs are amazing.The cache was a nice quick find. Thanks for placing
We absolutely loved this hike today, was much easier than we were anticipating. Was great to see a cache hidden here. Didn't take long for Mr Parko to spot it. Thanks for the cache
Stunning coastline - no wonder there were ship wrecks out there. The trip is making me think about re-imagining Australian history - Noticeably there’s no mention of the Captain Cook !!! In Kalbarrie for a few days with plenty of time to explore on trusty treadles - amazing kms of bike paths. Have travelled WEST from home base 3500 km away and that includes altitude as well so enjoying the landscape and habitat changes of this BIG country. TFTC and a fave for the lure to visit.
Found this while doing the hike around the loop. Lovely spot, no time for a swim though ^_^ TFTC.
On today's plan was the hike "The Loop Walk". So we started quite early in the morning and had a great view at Nature's Window without any muggles. Then we continued the trail until a steep descent to the river, where we startet to look for this cache. It was only a short search and our name is written in the logbook now.
Unfortunately the river was still at a high level and after getting to near to the river we decided to go back the same way as we came, although the way was open. But we didn't want to risk anything.
Thanks for the cache and regards from Switzerland.

Das war eine schöne Wanderung, auch wenn nicht der ganze Loop geöffnet ist. Die Dose wurde schon lange nicht mehr besucht, es geht ihr aber prima!
What an awesome walk, pity we couldn't walk the whole loop. Quiet calm day, not too hot, all muggles stopped at natures window, so had the rest of the track to ourselves. We thought with the recent flooding that this cache may have disappeared but we were wrong! It was still there and in good condition. TFTC
We had perfect weather to walk the loop track with the temperature only reaching the high teens. With recent rains there was alot of greenery and wildflowers.
Beautiful walk TFTC only 1 pencil with lead, other 2 need sharpening, or bring a pen
Thanks again
Thanks again
Heute haben wir den schönen Looptrail unter die Füsse genommen. Wir gatten so ein two in one feeling: über Stock und Stein wie in den Bergen und gleichzeitig Sand wie am Strand inklusive kühler Meeresbrise.
Easy find after a (not so) easy stroll. Log was quickly signed and the cache replaced as found. All is in good order. TFTC
Geofamily went to the Natural Window but did not went down the gorge and attempted the this cache as the trail was closed due to flooding following the heavy rains... Maybe another time.
We got up early to hit the loop on a mild summers day - 25 max temp.
The swans in the gorge were unexpected with their honking sounds.
Cache in good condition and found easily the GZ was out about 7m but that may have to do with all the rocks till around us.

It's been spectacular walk so far and lovely river stop area. The cache is fine only 3 pencils and a logbook inside. Tftc!

Up in Kalbarri for an Easter holiday, 10 days into it and the turmoil hit..... but prior to that we managed to find the few caches in the area that had appeared since our last visit. We often visit here and absolutely love the vantage point for views of the Murchison.
We came well prepared with the essentials this trip as this cache was on the radar, we were so excited. Today we set our alarms and headed out in the early hours of the morning to catch the sunrise on the loop.... WOW is all we can say!!
The hike we absolutely enjoyed, the sweat, the climbs, the slips, the oh sh$%'s..... every step rewarded with something amazing!!
We got to GZ found the cache quickly, signed our name in the log book then replaced the cache back where we found it before continuing around the loop..... yep we went past that sign!!
We took our time exploring the loop, with so many beautiful and breathtaking views we took every opportunity we could to get some spectacular images.
There is honestly not one thing that we did not enjoy about this adventure so a favourite is coming your way TFTC Titan142, Leeiscool58

Headed off mid morning when a cool breeze was blowing and top temperature of around 20 deg forecast. The views along the track are awesome and we reached gz in under an hour. Only a couple of pencils were remaining so we left a new sistema and log book with the two pencils we found. Headed off to complete the 6 klm back to the car park. The second part of the track was harder going with some narrow ledges to traverse and sandy tracks. Still we managed to be back at the car under three hours of starting - not bad for 'oldies'. Thanks Titan142 & Leeiscool58 for enticing us to complete this challenging loop - we'll sleep well tonight!!
Couldn’t find a container only a broken pencil left - nice spot. Needs maintenance
In Kalbarri for few days, touring the region. Beautiful day for this walk. Bagged the cache while down here. Thanks Titan142, Leeiscool58 for the hide. Have attached photo of current cache contents.
Thanks for this nice cache here and my number 4887.
Found easily with The-Shredder.

Quick find, cache was in two pieces with pencils and logbook all around the place. We got it all together and hid it in the spot it might have been in. TFTH.
This morning we've started our walk along this trail, and as it hasn't been too hot, we had no problems with water.
Thank you for this cache as an riminder for this wonderful walk.

Trouve facilement lors de notre trek la loop.
Super trek. Magnifiques paysages ! Très chaud et trop de mouches.
Une petite cache la dedans fait toujours plaisir.

I was doing a road trip from Darwin to Perth and found this cache along the way. Due to the heat, I was the only one on this track, but it was absolutely worth it. Thanks.
19 days trip from Broome to Perth - together with Sharrrk. We enjoyed the whole loop walk - beautifull landscape. We dipped our shirts in the water for cooling us (maybe all those signs had made me nervous... but actually I didn't find the second part harder...). Easy find. Good coordinates. Nice cache Thanks for hiding!
We did the loop this morning, took us about four hours. Glad it was a bit windy so the heat wasn't too bad. We didnt rest here except for taking some nice pictures though. What a great hike and picturesque views. Nice and quick find.

From 23.09 until 24.11.2019 Stadibast and I spent our holidays in Australia.
During the first four weeks we drove with a camper van from Darwin to Perth along the West coast and its amazing national parks, in which we made several hiking tours.
After that we flew to the wonderful green Tasmania for a roundtrip lasting two weeks.
For the last three weeks we went back to the continent and followed the South-East-Coast from Melbourne to Sydney.
We had impressive nine weeks in Australia, in which we hiked through various national parks, visited interesting sights and met many friendly and helpful people.
Thanks to all owners for setting and maintaining their caches.

Having decided that the Earth Cache at Natures Window was not a big enough challenge Mr ILT decided to walk to this cache and he is so glad he did. Thanks to Titan142 and Leeiscool58 for placing this cache.
During the loop we would take a break at this place. Not just to rest, but also to try and find this cache.
As I was walking to GZ there was a plastic bag. I found out it was the bag with the paper log book! I was afraid something was missing, but when I found the “container” I was able to put the pieces back together (even with a golden coin laying on the ground.
Maybe some bird thought it was his and tried to take it. I put it back to the place I thought it should be at and put a nice big stone on top to make sure it stays in the right place.

TFTC. Lovely location. One of my favourite spots. Some work needed to get there but a nice easy find
Fantastic walk on a sunny day in ideal hiking conditions. This is one of my all-time favourite walks in WA. Straight forward find, and I love the cache container too!
Thank you! In Kalbarri for a mini holiday. I very much enjoyed the trip to the national park, and the 8km hike around the loop was great. Thanks for giving me an extra reason to visit. Cache in good condition.
Great day for a hike and a geocache. Did this hike last year but since then we saw the geocache placed here. We were determined to do it again this year. Today was the day. Thanks for the cache.

Found this one hard as my directions where all over the show, would of loved to have found it as I was doing pretty good at caching for the day maybe next time.
A very nice trail and a nice spot for a short break close to the river, and a nice container. TFC
