WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 107 - Karratha to Port Hedland via Wickham, Point Samson and Cossack. It was a slow steady pack up in the rapidly rising morning temperature, not to mention the sun. I stopped for a bought breakfast before getting on my way. First stop was a revenged DNF, second stop was a nice sculpture, the third stop was a relentless walk around a very small old village. I made one more stop on the side of the highway for a very hot walk across a red stony plain. Eventually I reached my destination in Port Hedland and managed to set up before I collapsed in the air con inside. I did manage to cook dinner and am now feeling well enough to do my logging. That walk was a mistake.With no where to park near the sculpture, I went over to the beach and walked back to the cache. A dog started barking, but got bored before I found the cache. I started on the wrong side and was happy when I found it in a great hiding spot.Thanks for the cache richlink48803.2 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2012 Sure Footed A#238**Albida**

Found 16:33Three months of travelling in Western Australia with Muggle friends from the East coast; stopover in Singapore on the outward and return flights. Caches and labs where they are on the way and can be done without too much effort. You may forgive me for using the same standard phrase everywhere, but there's not much more to it than that. Many thanks to all the owners for making our hobby possible. If there is anything wrong with the cache, more detailed information follows.

Up in the area visiting family and seeing our new five week old grandson.
After visiting the Cossack Art Awards today it was time to check on my own caches in Cossack and Wickham.
After that done and Mr dimor wanting to 4x4 up a hill we did that before grabbing the Wickham cache and then heading to Point Samson.
Thought this would take a while but found it within seconds as part of it was sticking out. Signed log and it is now hidden better in same spot.
TFTC now time to head ‘home’ to watch the Matildas

We are spending a few weeks travelling to some of Western Australia's warmer regions and grabbing a couple of the LGAs that I need.
I spotted the likely 'host' when we were about 60m away but that didn't help. I still had to make to make a couple of circuits and check every little nook and crannie before I spotted it.
This was find number 3 for the day.

Found this one yesterday with Panda Dundee and Morgo the Geo, who turned up as we were looking. Funnily enough whilst myself and Morgo the Geo where intently searching GZ, Panda Dundee sat back, thought about it and then snuck in and found the FTF. I then extractacted it, whilst Morgo looked on. Team effort. Thanks for bringing us to this interesting park and TFTC
