We are over from victoria exploring the west. We arrived into exmouth yesterday after spending the previous week travelling up thru the gold fields and pilbra. It has been great seeing the landscape change and learning alot about the past. Caching is great to help one uncover amazing spots

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 99 - Exmouth to Onslow via Nanutarra Road house. I spent the morning doing some caches just outside of Exmouth, including a dramatic gorge road into the ranges. Then the driving really began, and the day was a little longer than most I have been doing recently, but there were not many option on where to stop. I had a brief afternoon stop at the road house, but so was everyone else and the line for fuel was impressive. The last stint into Onslow was a lot quieter on the road and ended at a fantastic little town, with all the amenities you could want to do very little for awhile. I went for a late afternoon walk and headed back to the van to cook dinner. Tomorrow is a day around this region.With a morning sausage roll in hand, I pulled up at the front of the base and had a look at the submarine and wandered over to where the cache was. I found it soon enough, but it needed a but of encouragement to get out. Log signed it all went back and I was off to the gorge.Thanks for the cache iluvtrekking48733.1 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2015 19,000 Finds A#314**Albida**

Awesome place & nice open air hide. TFTC

Interesting location, seems kind of at odds with the natural beauty. Neat hide. Tftc

This place intrigues me. Getting busier- perhaps getting ready for a renewed US presence ?Thanks FTC - love the hidden in the open.

Bought something with a hook to get this one, but it turns out we didn't need it. What an impressive setup it is here, thanks for the cache placement.

Tftc

Didn't try for the cache as I don't have a tool on me. Did watch the dish spin around and admired the nearby birds and birdflowers.

Cool view! TFTC??

Great cache, dish spun around and watched Justplainkate find the cache!

Having bought some sushi rolls in town we made a stop here to eat lunch and then of course find a cache. TFTC - an easy find

Great hide, even saw the dish do a 360. Cool. Thanks ??

Great hiding place

TFTC!

A long-cherished dream comes true... A trip to the west and east coast of Australia to experience the fascinating underwater world. Of course, I also have to search for and log a few caches for our family account. Today I went by bike from Exmouth into the "outback" to two traditionals. The ride was a bit tiring in the heat, but the cache was easy to find. Many thanks for hiding and looking after it!Ein lange gehegter Traum wird wahr... eine Reise an die West- und Ostkste Australiens, um dort die faszinierende Unterwasserwelt zu erleben. Fr unseren Familienaccount mssen zwischendurch natrlich auch einige Caches gesucht und geloggt werden. Heute ging es per Fahrrad von Exmouth aus ins "Outback" zu zwei Traditionals. Die Fahrt war bei der Hitze etwas anstrengend, aber der Cache war problemlos zu finden. Vielen Dank frs Verstecken und Pflegen!#15458

Thanks DrewskiAndFAM for completing much needed maintenance and keeping this cache alive. The clue has been updated.

Saw the old cache but unable to reach it - per the notes, my caching buddy and I have replaced with a new cache at the same GZ

Did cache maintenance and it's back in business. Only able to take out if you go to the correct side!

Found it but couldn't get to it. Will have to return with a tool another time.

Unfortunately, this cache is MIA and we can't get up to Exmouth for quite a while. If anyone would like to replace it please, feel free. I'll watch it for the time being.

The owner of this cache has confirmed with me that the cache is out of its place.

Unfortunately dnf. Will have another crack at this one on the next visit to exmouth

OK..Second try..Whilst found, could not log.I'll explainAfter a long day of at Yardie Creek, boat tour, caching, exploring, we were Knackered to say the least when I decided to try this Cache againThe Thingy IS there, but sitting on the bottomArmed with a Torch, and old coat hanger, have it a good try.Then I tried A Fishing Lure on some line( Mr Ghecko didn't like that) that failedSo then I tried my magnet on a string, that sure didn't workSo give me a break, let me claim it, I sure work hard to get it.But, if ur not happy, then it's ok to delete my FINDTFTC

Couldn't find the Thingy in the Thingy..No torch to see..It might be still there, but we too didn't find it..A snake at our feet sent us on our way..

I think its no longer there

Staying in the national park, we stopped by here on our way. Was quite an interesting spot. Thanks for bringing us here iluvtrekking

Found it TFTC

Great hide loving Exmouth my bro loves the colour and the cache overall logged KB and SB

Nice easy find.

Road trip, day 7 I think, time to head south from Exmouth.
but first looking around the area...

This was cool spot to put a catch and a nice place to look at the satellite dish, thankyou for putting it here

Quick find

Preemptive maintenance check: Now has a new log sheet, no other maintenance was required. Good to go.

Had no hook but persistence paid off TFTC

A tad late logging. Caught my eye on account of Harold Holt - at home there’s a local swimming pool - as comedians like to say, where else in the world do you find a swim centre named after a drowned PM?! Todays missions included checking out the Discovery Centre, Vlamingh Head Lighthouse at sunset and the Jubari Turtle Centre which were all fabulous. The trip is making me think about re-imagining Australian history! Staying at Yardie Homestead for a few days with plenty of time to explore the magic. Have travelled WEST from home base 4200 km away and that includes altitude as well so enjoying the landscape and habitat changes of this BIG country. TFTC and the lure to visit.

Stopped to grab this one on the way back from checking out the Vlamingh Head Lighthouse at sunset and the Jubari Turtle Centre (and after swimming with whale sharks earlier in the day!)
Fascinating history behind the base itself. No laser beams or UFOs for me either - had my colander hat on just in case (kidding!!)
Quick find, log signed and everything replaced as found. TFTC

Heading North, not sure how far up we will get.

Found your cache and signed the logbook.

We spent today looking around the Exmouth area and caching, then lunch in town. Interesting history and information here. Learnt lots from it. Quick find here for us today. TFTC

Staying up in Exmouth for a few days after the eclipse yesterday. Today was a drive around to Yardie Creek, stopping at the lighthouse on the way. And of course a few caches This was one that I stopped off at. Just as I exited the car the giant satellite dish turned around and pointed in my direction... thankfully no laser beam or stream of troops followed. No-one else around so assuming they have bigger things to worry about than the geocache, I carried on and was happy to make a nice quick find. The dish was pointing the other way when I drove back later though so maybe they were checking me out... All ok here today - TFTC

Excellent park'n'grab after the Solar Eclipse!

Quick park and grab, to add another find to my few days in Exmouth after watching the eclipse.

We headed out here to claim this smiley so as to keep our streak going but when we arrived there was a lady selling ice cream! Oh well, for the sake of protecting this cache, we bought ourselves an ice cream each then wandered over to find this cache. I'm sure she never suspected a thing!

Thanks for find #4450

Quick find here. I am sure my car rego is now on a list.

Heading north for one mintue of moon shadow. This is one of stops on a long journey.

Thank you!

Such a nice find after a great day in the National park. My first interstate find!

TFTC good to finally make it up here to look around Exmouth

With such an antenna we could receive the whole world

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.
TFTC

Found while traveling through the area.
Thanks

Another quick find on our road trip.

TFTC quick to find, we were here in 2009, how things have changed.

On my way to Perth via Broome with a few detours for LGAs. TFTC.
Nice hide. Didn't need a hook.

Definitely listening! No hook needed!

Catchng up on some late logs, now that I am supposed to have time since we are on the road travelling.

We are on the road travelling up through central Australia and down the coast of W.A. This is one of the caches we stopped off to grab along the way.

An impressive area with all the telecomunications towers. Happy to make a quick find here.


Thanks for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.
