Was not expecting this. Thanks for the cache

We had just turned onto the access road and we were pulled over by the local police. Apparently this is now ALL Commonwealth land and the geocache needs to be removed and placed in a different location. There is no way they would allow us to drive the track to the cache.

Cache needs to be moved as it's on Commonwealth land. We were pulled over by the police.

Awesome spot TFTC.

Nice detour

Nice little drive and a quick find. Thank you.

TFTC Day 75 of trip 24

a very cool place to have an explore around! Tftc

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 98 - Coral Bay to Exmouth. My short stay was over and I was off for another drive. After packing up, I went for one more cache here in the bay and then hit the road. No stops till I reached Exmouth. After setting up, I went to find out what other accommodation options were available, and it turns out the overflow camp whilst it has power, has the powered sites reserved for medical emergencies. So, with no extended stay I headed out and did a bunch of the cache at the point and lighthouse. Sad to see the old campground deserted, bet the lighthouse lookout is still spectacular. I had dinner at the pub after a drink at the local brewery. It looks like Onslow will be my next stop.I was not sure about this one, but a carful examination of the satellite images revealed some possible trails, and they actually existed and were not blocked, so I made my way in to this cache and found the container neatly hidden. The lid is cracking around the rim, but it is mostly under cover and currently dry.Thanks for the cache IslaySmiths48727.7 Tk TB tag, LNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2012 NZ MEGA A#240**Albida**

A little detour soon gad this one in hand. Tftc

We left this till the last day. It turned out to be a pleasant 21 with a light cooling breeze as we walked the 1.5 km up the track from the main road. The cache site was an interesting spot with some history. The box was quickly found, and log done. Thanks for the cache.

Almost too late in the day, but good in the endThanks

Checked out the wreck of the Mildura on the way, didn't realise it was so close to shore! Easy find here.

Good fun!

Great hide, seem to be testing the limits of my no so 4 wheel drive. Quiet out here. Even saw an emu walk past ??

Cheers

Thank you, great spot. Our first one.

Thank you!

We are having fun finding these!

After a whale shark tour (which was incredible!) wanted to keep up my streak and find couple caches, tftc!

We were on a driving/camping holiday up to Exmouth with a few stops on the way and than camping our way back to Perth. Stopping for some caches along the way.
Found some lovely and learned some interesting things that we wouldn't have stopped to look at if it wasn't for caching.
A great time was had, even though one day our campsite was flooded and we had to move to a new site, many animals crossed our paths including a snake in Exmouth, overall it was a great adventure.

Nice area. Amazing it is so remote. Just move stuff that is obviously out of place. It's fragile.

Nice hide, off the powerpole track

Found it !

Must have been hard farming out here back in the day. TFTC

What an interesting old spot

Loved this one

Behind with logs again, ( Suprise! Suprise!) a combination of laziness, lack of time (there are so many cool things to see and do!), low data and a broken phone have meant I have found myself very behind with logs again, making an attempt to catch up while I have some downtime in airconditioned comfort and suprisingly good internet while out in the Pilbra. Now to remember them all... Aghh!
Thanks for being one of the caches we found sorry once again for the generic log, Cheers TT

Thanks for taking us somewhere off the beaten track.

That's a deep well, quick find interesting history TFTC

How fun and off the track. Thanks for a super fun exploring. Take you 4x4 folks!!

A great location here, a very exposed well that’s for sure!

A great time heading to the North West on a little wander out yonder holiday. Travel from Perth to Exmouth and back staying at many different locations and accomodation styles.

Thanks to all the cache owners for adding a little extra to the trip and taking us to some very magical locations.

This was so cool! A nice trek to the cache on a very hot day! Well worth it tho!

Found it, was a bit nervous of creepy crawlies though

Really cool piece of history

Geocaching along with Gma and Gdad allinaday. We found many caches and visited some beautiful places during our stay in Exmouth. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing caches for us to find.

Enjoyed the short trek in to the cache, which was a lot easier than expected. Great location, that you just wont find on the map. A nice reminder of the history and the hardworking pioneers of our great country. Thanks IslaySmiths for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Quick find. Quiet place. Thank you

Found it great drive out into the wilderness look out for the well it’s a long way down

Good find Pretty easy

A very interesting location making us think about the tough work that people carried out in times gone by. More easily accessible than we had anticipated. Great little cache. TFTC

Outnabout with Wollaston sightseeing. Marvelled at the harshness of the environment and the design of the tank. How the water was extracted is a mystery. Left TB

Found while holidaying with Team Outnabout as we continue our travel adventures together. Grabbed in the best part of the day after an early morning beach visit. TFTC IslaySmiths.
