Tftc friendly locals lol!

Lovely day out very peaceful

I saw the probable location from about 10m away that made it easy enough. The coordinates were about 5m off but that's easy in such open bushland.I wonder if they really do set up cameras as the sign nearby states?

Thanks for creating this series NancyBludgeon- first cache for the day

Quick find tftc

Nice easy find

Cache and log replaced

Need to replace wet log

Easy find, fun TFTC. Log too wet to sign

TFTC.. Found in record time by my 8yo..

Headed out this morning to do some caching around the Dam but our plans were halted when we discovered this road didnt go all the way through. So change of plans. We set out to do your AIW series. So we parked at this one and started our adventure in Wonderland. We made a nice quick find on this one and added our names to your log. We returned your cache back to where it lives. TFTC NancyBludgeon.

A great day Foran Easter hunt……Or as axell33 and I consider ‘caching’ at Easter! We were going to go further but our road stopped. No problem…..as it was the beginning of this series. A nice quick find for us here and the cache a little damp but write worthy still. And as a side note…we have started this cache a #1, very unusual for us! Thanks for the hide NancyBludgeon.

Walked up from the bottom carport. Steep, off trail walk. Beautiful though

The Outdoor Education Group from Port School found this one!

Nice quick find here.

Quick find.

Found it. TFTC NancyBludgeon. Quick find here today. Replaced as found. Came here to do this AIW series, most were quick finds with just one DNF. Some logs were water logged and made it near impossible sign. Maybe a maintenance check will help the game go smoother. Really great area for the short bush walks required to make the finds.

All wet

Found the cache with Nelson the Dog but full of water so couldn't sign

I am also a big Tim Burton fan so these series held quite the appeal for me. All of the AIW series and the last five of the NBC series completed quickly thanks to the generous hints. Many of the logbooks are unfortunately quite wet due to the recent rain, and i took the liberty of replacing two of them that were beyond redemption. I have messaged the CO to let her know. All in all, a fun morning out. TFTC

Today I took the opportunity to test the new shocks on the Jeep, and where better than through the Jarrahdale Forest.

Weather was kind, nice warm day, no real rain, and the chance to grab some caches, and also climb the peak to the next souvenirs.

I have always appreciated the artistic mastery of Tim Burton, so nice to attack some of these cache trails. Nice accurate locations, and generally really quick finds.

Another really wet log.

Thanks NancyBludgeon for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 09:48:00. This was my Find 27 for today out of a Total number of 59 Finds and 1 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 5431.

Enjoying the sun while caching the back blocks with iluvtrekking. Our kind of caching! Thanks NancyBludgeon

Beautiful day to take a 4WD with richlink in the bush. The coords on most of the series were a bit off for us today, but thanks to the clues,  the caches were found. TFTC.

Out exploring this neck of the woods, wondering if we could find a passage through around here - this series of caches suggested something resembling that, so we tried our luck (although only got so far before our plans were foiled, forcing us to backtrack) - the man couldn't be convinced to stop every couple of hundred metres for me to power-trail it, but did begrudgingly agree to stopping a few times where the cache was indicated... Given I hadn't preplanned the trip, and didn't have enough service to open the caches, the finds were made by the dot on the map and geosenses only, which proved a successful method on most occassions. Thanks for the trail of hides out here NancyBludgeon

A nice early start to the day had us heading for some of the many new caches placed in and around Byford. This cache was one we highlighted for the adventure today. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there NancyBludgeon, I was in this area today and found your cache AIW01 ALICE GC99ZAE. I added my name to the log book at 10:30 am on 5 September 2021. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

We took up Geocaching on 3 March 2013 and this cache brings our total find count to - 12686.

Nice quick find. Shame we couldn't get to the dam from here. Off to find some more caches! Tftc

Clever hide TFTC

Out and about grabbing a few in the area whilst the sun is shining. This is the last one of the series we've done as we started the wrong way round. TFTC Logs in most caches are very wet. Fave point for the nice series.

TFTC signed log had to close bag properly log damp

Out and about on the bike today to tackle some caching series just out of Byford. Managed to get 68 finds for the day. All caches were in good condition and replaced as found TFTC

Hi there NancyBludgeon. I was out again with Oma and Opa today and this cache was found at about 11:27am after a short search - the container and log are both in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to NancyBludgeon for this cache - my find # 56 and the 1st of 7 finds for the day.

Hi there NancyBludgeon. While out on the road today we found this cache at 1127am after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to NancyBludgeon for this cache - our find 9101 and the 1st of 7 finds for the day.

Fieldnotes:

As lock down continues, well for some of us... Mainly due to a chosen profession.
I convinced the wife that we needed to get there the house to stop us from going stircrazy.
I had seen this clump of new cache series pop-up recently and knew that today would be a good time to try, before the weather turns as predicted tomorrow. The plan is to tackle his many as I can before my ever patient wife has had enough.

Here we go, let's get serious.


Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache NancyBludgeon you help make this game what it is.

Another couple of hours spent out the back of Byford picking up the latest NancyBludgeon offerings.
These are what we love about caching especially with our current Covid restrictions.

TFTC NancyBludgeon this is find #11517 for us.

A big afternoon of caching with Everlasting. Lots of getting in and out of the car. I’ll sleep well tonight. Thanks.

Yesterday the weather was stormy and rain so badly but today the weather was lovely warm and excellent for geocaching..
We decided to go to Armadale and Byford due to many new caches there... we real enjoyed "search, found and signed the log"
Thanks NancyBludgeon for organising the cache and hunt. [^]

NancyBludgeon, another cracker of a series. I enjoy bush road caching and I appreciate the effort you made placing these. Thanks!

I beat the rain and found them all quickly (well almost all).

There are some brilliant houses out here. The view into valley must be speckie.

Headed out this morning to grab this new series of caches. Very smokey so a slow drive to get there. Another very enjoyable series with very good hints which made for quick finds of the caches. Looking forward to more coming out at some stage. TFTC NancyBludgeon

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

Joint *FTF* here

The Better Half and I were in the middle of Breakfast when all these new caches were published so it wasn't quite a quick preparation to come out here.

We continued on with the other cachers next to this one. Was another quick find of the cache. Log signed and cache returned as found. Joint *FTF* with the others.

Thanks NancyBludgeon for placing this cache for us to do.

Decided to head out to the end of the road to start the journey tonight with the proximity alert pinging as we passed all the caches on the way in.

As expected at this hour the area was clear and a few likely hide spots presented themselves. With the gps pointing us in the middle of them we split up and SirFancy made the find.

The Tuesday night tradition continues. SirFancy headed around to share a meal with the family and once the kids were in bed we checked the map for somewhere to grab some finds.

Having seen a new series of caches come out earlier today we decided that this would be where to head tonight.

We enjoyed being able to park fairly close to all the caches and the full moon aided signing duties easier once the caches were found.

Thanks NancyBludgeon for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 2872 for me.

I was looking and looking but Alice I found it.

Thank you NancyBludgeon for the cache.

**FTF** with Cravo10, Chwiliwr and TBH.

We we planning to grab a few caches down Albany highway today and we’re all prepped to go when we saw this new series pop up near Byford.

Knowing the area from previous caching forays helped, we managed to snag FTFs on 9 of them before being joined by Chwiliwr and tbh to finish the remaining 4.

A great series with good co ords. We’ve added a FP for the bonus.

Nice to get out- no lockdown. Quick find TFTH
