Had to drive up the road to get phone service and come back and found it. Was a fun multi. Thanks

Early rise and shine bracing for the long drive back to Perth (and reality) via a few back road caches. Cool hide here thanks

Nice bit of history and always a bit sobering in these LKA series. TFTC. Totally not expecting the size of that tube!

Headed into Manjimup for supplies, we got distracted & found ourselves out this way finding a few caches... I had worked this one out from home many moons ago & we made sure to find it on this trip. It was a quick find after taking a quick look at some of the graves TFTC orrsom

TaurusSix and I have decided a big drive is necessary today, to undertake maintenance on a few of our caches. Obviously whilst we are out and about we intended to collect as many caches as practical along the way as well. We decided to head straight from Bunbury to Bridgetown from breakfast , the drive down there was beautiful. A very winters morning so there was frost everywhere, with fog in the valleys and creeks and wherever the sun was hitting the ground a beautiful steam was coming off the dewy grass . Picture perfect with layers and gloves. After Bridgetown we made our way through Manjimup, Pemberton, Karri Valley onto Margaret River and Cowaramup before heading back to Bunbury. A most enjoyable day trip.

This was our second cache find of the day. We enjoy getting off the beaten track especially to lovely little cemeteries like this, always enjoy a good multi in a cemetery . This one is particularly peaceful . Even as we were calculating the coords we kinda guessed where the cache might be so it was nice to be proved right. The cache was jammed in quite tightly so it took a bit to remove it. Thanks for the cache orrsom.

Found while on a visit to the west from South Australia.

It didn’t take long to gather the required information and calculate the final coordinates. Then it was just a wander over to GZ for a quick find, although trying to extract the cache container was a challenge after it had been jammed in a little over-enthusiastically by the last finder.

Thanks orrsom for the cache.

We found your cache whilst on a trip down south with the geofamily. All caches were found in good condition.

Out and about caching for a few days lead us to Manji and a trek around town.
Thanks for the interesting locations around town.

Back in signal range, and realised I had forgotton to put a smiley here.
Thanks for the multi and the history.

Out and about with Mr dimor, well lets get it right I made Mr dimor take me out and about since I can't do it myself.
Thought we'd hit Manji for some caches and get the final souvenir or hopefully close to it.
And this is why Mr dimor comes in handy, to find and retrieve the ones that aren't medically 'dimor friendly'. Do love a stroll around old cemeteries (I do my family tree) when cn manage the task.

Interesting.Tftc

Certainly an interesting and well maintained small pioneer cemetery. Data collection was straightforward. Then it was a short walk to GZ where accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache.

Always wondered why there were two cemeteries only a couple of kms apart. Find these places fascinating though sad. A quick find before heading on our way home.

Quick solve and find. Thanks for the hide

Thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy. I have driven past here many times although I was intrigued I never had the reason to stop. Today we had the chance to stop in. Except rookie error we only had the location downloaded no description on how to find the cache. So we spilt up and searched around eventually making the find.

I did a loop from Manjimup which included this cache. Thanks for the hide.

Quickly collected the require info, signed the log and on our way again. Thanks for the cache orrsom.

We took the long way from Perth to Albany via Bunbury, Greenbushes, Bridgetown, Manjimup, Nannup, Windy Harbour, Peaceful Bay, Walpole and Denmark.

Took in a variety of locations and found some neat caches. A great, albeit long day with some massive distances covered.

Thanks to the local COs for their hides.

Another good cemetery multi here. Thanks for showing us this bit of history. Add FP.

We set off from Perth heading to Albany today in the early hours of the morning. We traversed a fair chunk of the southwest and made it with a bag full of geocache finds.

Thanks orrsom for placing this geocache adding to the days journey and entertainment.

Now to enjoy WAGB21 in Albany TFTH

Always find it both sad and interesting visiting Pioneer cemeteries.

TFTC orrsom this is find #11734 for us.

After getting the required info we made a quick find of the cache TFTC

Thanks for a great multi. Exploring the area with bigSalmon1 on way to Donnelly River for reunion TFTC

Just love these old grave sites found with mandate7 on our way to Donnelly river village TFTC

We love a LKA multi. Quickly gathered the info and were soon recording our visit. Thanks orrsom

[FTF] Thought I would sneak this multi in on my lunch break today. Didn’t realise there was another little cemetery here so it was a cool little discovery. Quick and easy multi which lead to a quick and easy find! TFTC
