Gnome final Port Kennedy, Western Australia, Australia
By 3oldwkers on 23-Jul-20. Waypoint GC8X3VY

We have been out and checked this cache. Had to do a bit of trimming as the cache was very overgrown. All good now.

Well we accepted the challenge and returned with a much more appropriate device. Suffice to say that yesterday we were absolutely no where near this spot. Container getting a bit overgrown but still in perfect shape sitting patiently awaiting future visitors. Thanks 3OWs; of course a FP from us.

We had the coordinates after finding 1, 2 and 3 but we only had phones and GMs and AMs took us to very different spots. Next time we pass by well have to remember to carry our trusty G72H

Found all the gnomes in reverse order. After finding gnome 1 i think I was already on about 6.5km of walking through the park, so contemplated leaving this for another day, but then I was like nah, I have 1.5 hours left of sunlight, she'll be right.
Bush bashed to get to final GZ to come across the hidden glen. What a great final GZ!

Cheers

I had a lovely morning walking the sand tracks and finding some caches including this great little series. With the final coords loaded I headed back to GZ. I must have found the most difficult way in! If I could not go over I went under and finally reached the clearing where the gnomes were waiting. After a bit of a search around I spotted the well blended in box which is my favourite type of cache container. All good with this one, log signed and replaced as found. Bidding the gnomes farewell I managed to find a bit easier way back to the track. Thanks 3oldwkers for an enjoyable cache hunt. A favourite for the series.

A great little adventure for Geo-Bunny to find the 8 Gnomes. 5 out in the open, 1 guarding the cache, and 2 inside the ammo box. It was nice to finalise this series. Cache is in excellent condition with Log Book dry. Thanks goes to the 3 OW's for this cache and series. Found on a coolish morning on the eve of summer. With signing duties sorted it was replaced as found ready for the next geo-adventurers.

Out for a walk with Ooh Yeh this morning, really enjoyed the lovely walk in the sunshine. All caches were found quickly, logs signed and cache replaced as found.

After a lot of bush bashing we finally spotted the gnomes then the cache. Definitely got my exercise for the day TFTC

We trudged our way around the soft sandy tracks for a few hours to pick up caches not previously found.
Thanks 3oldworkers.

This series had been on our radar for when we had a trip up this way. Headed up the sandy tracks with ILT to make a quick find at each point. Thanks for the series.

I had a good ride around the Port Kennedy Scientific Park. The weather was patchy and twice I had to shelter from heavy showers.

The track was fantastic to ride the mountain bike on too. This is the benefit of a month of solid rain!

Excellent series. I really enjoyed it. I started to approach GZ via the reedy area, backtracked and found a higher spot and got through to the thick hedge. I walked up and down and then started my 10m thick bush bash. Aargh…. 2m in, I thought there must be a better way. There was!

As described, GZ was grassy and gnomey!!

Decided that today was the day for a walk through the PKSP to clear these new caches that have been place. So glad that I chose the correct order to attack, as this meant that the final gnome grotto was on my way back to the car.

The recent rains had compacted the paths, consolidating the soft sand and making the walk a little easier for me.

This grotto was a very pleasant surprise. The largest Gnome has become home for a colony of ants, but this did not impact my finding of this large ammo box.

FP added for the series

Thanks 3oldwkers for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 13:42:00. This was my Find 4 for today out of a Total number of 4 Finds and 0 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I signed the log and returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 5301.

I did gnome 3, then gnome 1 and finally gnome 2. Once I calculated the final, I was too far away to slog through soft sand to this final. I ended up getting it while completing the PP2 series but that still made it a big slog. Strange to find the clearing out here after stumbling through the bush. Thanks.

Woo hoo. Made the find after quite a bit of walking. Thanks for the series and final.

A fitting end to this enjoyable series.
Have a FPm

TFTC 3oldwkers this is find #11266 for us.

Good job finding this place for the final of this cool little series. How amazing to crash through that thick scrub and into the wide open. We looked about for our prize for a while then axell33 had it. Thanks for the cache and the series. Cheers 3oldwkers.

After re-doing 2 and 3 with Leega and the geopooches. We made our way to the final. We spotted our way in and what a surprise when made it through. What a magical spot, I can see a caching Gnomesville setting up here. I wish I had read Skullduggerys log beforehand and I would have brought one along. Great little series. Enjoyed the walk back to the car in a beautiful light refreshing rain. TFTC & S 3oldwkers

Thanks 3oldwkers for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces.

Headed down to Port Kennedy’s with C10 to pickup the last few remaining caches in the Port Kennedy Scientific Park. A beautiful evening for a spot of caching.

Out and about with Chwiliwr.

Cache found and signed. Replaced as found.

Thanks 3oldwkers for the cache.

The Better half came to find this cache after Gnome 3 so I dropped in two trackables.

What a magical place! I can envisage a trend starting here. Recommend future cachers BYO gnome. Many thanks 3oldwalkers.

I am exhausted but my knees performed well! The final is well worth the effort. I can say that now, from the comfort of my armchair with a cuppa in hand. TFTC 3oldwkrs have a favourite

Ftf gone

After finally finding all the clues to this final ground zero from the traditional caches I made my way along the tracks to opposite where ground zero was located and then went bush.

Unfortunately, in the dark, I hit some very dense vegetation so got thrown off line a bit before eventually finding my way through. In the dark it seemed an special spot to find the gnomes sitting around and then the actual cache container nearby. Was another blank log so a final *FTF* just after midnight. Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks 3oldwkers for placing this cache for me to find.

Have given this cache a favorite point for the series.
