After a few years managed to get my name on the log.Thanks IT

Got to this in the evening after doing a wildflower loop. Clue confused me as I thought it stood for something else. And my GPS said 19m off. It is a good cache so worth persevering. TFTC.

Couldn't find it

Thanks for my first find!

Camping the weekend at Lake Edawa near miling. The rest of the crew are swimming whilst I travel around the place getting caches. After a dnf here a couple years back I drove a fair way to get here to reverse it. Sadly however it still eludes me. Oh well one day

Found it TFTC Found in good condition. Love the cache container

Back on the road again, heading north. Moora to Coorow
Our trip today took us around the wildflower regiont but we are to early to see the flower displays.
A variety of caches found today in some very interesting locations.
Hard to imagine they once had 4 tennis courts in this small community.
Thankyou to the CO's for hiding this cache

Heading to Broome via Nullagine and criss-crossing the northern wheatbelt with axell33. The Waddy Forrest cache collection is now complete! We searched a long time ago but we were in the dark and freezing cold so decided to revisit and today we did so! Daylight can make a difference sometimes. This must have been a place of so many happy times and memories for people past. TYFTC here.

Zigzagging our way north to Broome, we stopped to hunt for this one. A quick search at gz and we had the prize in hand. We signed your log and returned your cache to where we found it. I enjoyed the history, the location and the cache itself. Favourite point coming up when I get a new batch. TFTC iluvtrekking.

Heading back home after Xmas on the farm. Planning to stop and hunt my way back. Hoping the 41 degrees wont come to fruition. Taking the inland road this trip. Thanks to the CO’s for placing caches in remote areas for us wonderlusters to enjoy.
Had to make a detour back up to Coorow and east due to a big fire. Happy to grab this on my way through. Love the camo - A fav point here - thanks for making me smile iluvtrekking Happy New Year!

Maintenance Log: the cache was indeed missing. Many things had been moved and tidied up since we placed the cache. A new cache is in situ thaks to the DNF logs.

Caravanning, caching and hunting wildflowers on this trip from S.A. No luck for us today but a few nice flowers made up for it. Thanks anyway.

We had been to Karratha to see the grandkids now it was time to take the long way back to the southwest.

We spent a good 20 minutes here looking for the cache but no smiley for us. Hope it’s not missing and was only cache blindness on our part.

The two precious finders, looking4geo and goingplaces2 found the GA cache not this one as that one is about 20m from this one.
Not sure now they didn’t realise it was a different cache as it had its GA code on it.

Will try again if every passing again.

While on our way to Perth on a roundabout way with ilook4geo, we looked for and found this cache. A not so quick and easy find was made here, both names were stamped on the log and all was put back in place. The cache container was located about 20 metres from the listed co-ords. It would be best to read the geocaching signs. Thanks for this cache placement go to iluvtrekking.

Going south to Perth and picking up some caches along the way with goingplaces2. Container was located but it was away from GZ, log was signed and all was replaced as found. TFTC.

Dnf

No luck today

TFTC just love the historical site

Found while caching around the district with Flim and Flick and Geodog Scruffy. Never knew the hall was here. TFTC.

Got up after the wind and rain last night so packed up our gear and hit the caches in town before caching our way home.

A great overnight trip to Geraldton, still managed a few dreaded Geraldton DNFs but managed to cleanup the labs in town so all wasn’t lost.

Thanks to the locals for their hides and we hope to be back soon, well I know we’ll be back soon.

Thanks iluvtrekking for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces.

Found after a short search.
A very interesting area.

TFTC iluvtrekking this is find #11302 for us.

Awesome spot for lunch and a look around. Thanks for the visit

What a fabulous look into past times. Enjoyed reading the history of the hall and community. I can imagine the fun held here. Thanks ILT for highlighting this location.

We found this well camouflaged container.

We had no idea what we had come across while waiting for a groceries to be delivered while on lock down. Keeping our social distance! I though it was something very dodgie and told the girls not to touch it while I Checked it out only to find some very fun treasures. The girls were stocked.

Stomped my feet heading to thus one . An easy find tftc and live the theme container

Quick find this morning while heading to site for a week of work away TFTC

Out for the day with the GeoKids and Muggle nieces. Loved the cache. TFTH!

We are on a wander around the wheatbelt looking for wildflowers, Not really sure where we are headed but just taking it day by day.
I approached this one from the wrong side of the fence. When I realised my mistake I retraced my steps and come down the right side. Ended up reading the hint then made a quick find.
This was find number 6 for the day.

Great little wander around an old tennis court. Loved the cache container!

Found it! We love the cache cover.
This is such a nice little spot.

We've learned in our history classes that in the 1920s at the Waddy Hall beside the tennis courts here, it once hosted a meeting to discuss what the locals should do about the perceived nuisance of local bushranger Frank Thomas. But Thomas was laying beneath the floorboards of the hall and heard all their plans!

A great little hide. Well done CPS

We headed up north to see some of the wonderful sights our great State has, the amazing scenery, the interesting history, the local characters, it's wonderful to see this part of Australia through the eyes of the local Geocachers.
Mt Augustus has been on our bucket list for a few years and now it has been ticked with a smile.
Up and out early in the morning before the heat set in, watching the colours come to life, watching the pre-dawn colours saturate the skies.
Driving out and about on these back roads made for a welcome stop here to enjoy the views of the wonderful Wildflowers.
The historical stories told here are an interesting reminder of the pioneering days gone by and their families.
We found your cache tucked away neatly, and with signing duties done and dusted, we replaced the cache as found.
Thanks for sharing this interesting spot.

*FTF* at 9.50am
After leaving Geraldton we saw this was still up for grabs so detoured off and much to our delight we found a blank logbook at GZ. Fav point for the camo TFTC Iluvtrekking
