Had a good look to no avail. Interesting bit of history

Great site!TFTC

Well after three visits and what seemed like hours running a fine toothed comb over the area, hubby finally found it. We can now leave Muka happy. Thank you for such an entertaining chase round the area.

Looked for quite awhile. Couldn't find it

Found on our way out to the farm

TFTC the colour of the container made it a little difficult to see. Log is full.

Found it

Quick maintenance check here all good

Thank youMinute

Not having much luck today. Maybe it’s the weather. Cleomine going faster than ever.

Wow that took awhile but we’ll worth the effort and there was abit of wind to move the horse, very clever in deed

We have been on the road for a few days travelling south from Geraldton zig zagging our way across the state picking up caches in as many LGA's that we hadn't previously visited as we could. Also on the radar were Adventure Labs and anything else that came across our radar.

We really enjoyed this one and took a little while to realise that the sound effects we heard when we pulled up with a recording to not a real horse in a paddock. The cache took a little while to locate which it gave us plenty of time to enjoy the workmanship here.
We signed the log as TC
Many thanks for showing us this great location, at definite favourite point from us

Great little place to stop and find a Geo very creative and fun to listen to the horse gallop … coordinates off a little bit, but still pretty easy to find. Thank you for hiding this.

Out on the wheat belt way

Fantastic stop for a quick find

Quick find, great spot too, lovely to see the horse racing and hear it too!! whoever did this is amazing! TFTC

Awesome place to stop. Tftc

Tftc great hide trackie550

Good spot didn’t even need the app because I just new there was one there

Very cool spot and we were extremely pleased we chose to divert from our route to pick up this cache. It was windy when we arrived, parking on the souther side of the parking bay so we got the full experience . Geodog doesn’t like metal horses so was t a fan, particularly as she got out of the car and was confronted with noises she couldn’t figure out where they were coming from. We loved it. Fav point from us. Thanks PollieMichelle for bringing us here.

Spending a bit of time travelling around WA wheatbelt checking out the wildflowers.
Another one that had me searching for a few minutes. I have stopped here before so there must have been another cache here.

It moves!! Love it. TFTC

What a great project from the mens shed! TFTC!

On a road trip around the wheatbelt areas of Western Australia for a few weeks. We are enjoying the many friendly towns along the way, whether staying in the CP’s or camping out. So far, we have found every cache that we have looked for, and hopefully our streak will last as we move around to the next town and beyond. Thank you so much to the CO’s of every cache for placing them for our enjoyment. They certainly bring you to many spots that you might not stop at otherwise.
Took much longer than it should have. Wading through water, the GPS kept bringing us back to a certain area, but no cache was found there. Light bulb moment with a bit of lateral thinking, and there it was. Such a shame the windmill is broken. Would be nice to see it repaired and moving again.

Spending the long weekend in Mukinbudin with the outlaws family, headed out to check out the local scenery and score some caches on the way.
This one took longer than it should of.
Thanks for the hide

Tftc. Very sad that the wind mill is broken.

The windmill has blown over and has parted company with the horse. The cache will probably require attention.

Cleo mine was no longer galloping and we couldn’t find the cache. Windmill was broken

Amazing create and enjoyed look at the horse..
Wandering this area, signed the log as EV and thanks for the cache and hunt

Out in the Wheatbelt again for the second consecutive weekend. This weekend the plan was to attack a number of towns in the North Eastern Wheatbelt and attend the FOTT event in Minnivale. It was a terrific weekend. Thank you to all the COs involved in providing entertainment this weekend.

A very cool stop here! Took a quick video and made a quick find of the cache. Cheers PollyMichele!

Geohubby beat me to this little gem Thanks for the cache.

Nice quick find. Out and about on our 3rd day of a nine day adventure TFTC

What a lovely sculpture. Took a lot of checking here and there but kept coming back to one spot and there it was. TFTC

You ripper, a prior dnf pesky nano on my birthday. Dunno why it took me so long, but goththere in the end. Cool sculptue, running hard today. Tftc.

After staying in Westonia last night and grabbing some caches on the way we still managed to rolled into Muka before lunch.
Checked into the CP, grabbed some lunch and then time for some caching in the lovely heat before enjoying the local pool.

A great piece of artwork would love it see it racing.

Search a few places then went back to where phone was saying to go and I was obviously facing the right way as I spied the cache. A quick sign and now off for a swim.

TFTC

Love this artwork.
TFTC PollyMichele this is find # 10201 for us.

A favourite for sure. What a great piece of art for the memorial. Tftc

What a fantastic piece of work here. One of the great aspects of caching is that we stop and "smell the roses". Thanks for making us do just that. All perfect here; Thanks.

Nice spot. Thanks for the cache! It was a tad chilly! Very small so took a while to find.

awesome very clever

Out for a wheatbelt road trip after the COVID travel restrictions have been lifted. With WAGB20 being cancelled in the pandemic, an invite to join others to celebrate the long weekend was perfect.
First night was camping at Elachbutting Rock with Barnzy12 and Cravo10 where we hit some great finds, beautiful locations and had fun on the dirt tracks weaving our way whilst caching out to Kwolyin Rock for the second night where we met up with a nice crew of fellow geocachers to enjoy sitting around a large campfire sharing stories. I have lost count of the rocks Ive climbed - but my body says many
I then head off on my own caching along the way to Northam where I spent a couple more days hunting through beautiful Toodyay and York and surrounds.
A huge thank you to all the COs for placing and maintaining their caches. The places I have seen and the fun I have had are testament to why I love this game so much. Its been a big 5 days and I am pooped but I have loved every minute!

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

Had a great couple of days away travelling the Wheatbelt. We got as far north as Beacon, as Far East as Elachbutting Rock and as far south as Kwolyin.

We spent the first night af Elachbutting Rock with Geotrakka and the second night with around ten teams at Kwolyin.

We metup with Richlink to attempt some high terrain caches near Mukinbudin, where multiple people was a nescessity for safety purposes.

We enjoyed travelling the backroads, camping under the stars and seeing amazing sights without all the people.

Great weekend away and have uploaded a bunch of pictures with the logs.

Thanks to the COs fat and wide for their caches and a great weekend.

Nice spot

Amazing sculpture - love it. Thanks for the hide PollyMichelle

Nice place, but we couldn't find any cache.

This is awesome. Have past it a few times. Thanks.

When we arrived at GZ there was no wind (only hoards of flies) so we gave a wry smile as the significance of the name became apparent & started our search. 5 minutes later a mini twister came through & the jockey nearly fell off the horse . It took our breath away....just fortunate that our fingers were not in any moving parts at the time! Have a favourite for bringing us here. I think we saw it at its best. TFTC PollyMichell

Not much wind today so the horse was at a slow trot! TFTC!

Great piece of art and history.
