Easy

I found it without the numbers

I found the solution right after logging the cache

Day #6. My last minute WAGB adventure continues today! Road tripping again today but more local. Posums and I are focusing on Albany and surrounds. Plenty still to find on our lists.We were initially stumped by some obvious numbers at GZ that didnt fit with what we were expecting. We widened our search radius and posums found what we needed. A quick and easy find from there but could do with a new log.A big thanks goes to jamesknowlson for taking the time to add Soccer Grounds to the geocaching map for us all to find and enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Wow! The fun just never stops.Have you logged your will attend for Victoria's first ever Block Party? (Think Mega but even more special!)Join us on 22-23 March 2025 in Sunbury to celebrate 25 years of geocaching by logging your will attend at [**GCAP417**](https://coord.info/GCAP417).

I came over to WA last year for WAGB 23 and had such a great time so I decided to come back over again for this years events in Augusta.So after all of the planning with dates worked out my work decided that I could only have one week off so flying over was my only option.So I flew into to Perth and my first stop will be Busselton for 2 nights.It has been 47 years since I was in this part of WA and Im really looking forward to the re visit.Im making my way down the coast and picking out caches that look interesting to me.After spending a bit of time in Bunbury it was back to the Geo Rent a Car to continue along the coast and I then made it to Busselton.Day 5 of the trip.After caching around Busselton, Dunsbourgh and Cape Naturaliste I reached Albany for 3 nights.Caught up with Roaming Howie again last night and another plan was hatched to first head south to find WAs first then North for the challenge caches.The challenge series and the Lads on Tour jigsaws series are all done so time to head back to base and of course find a couple along the way.We made our way over to the WP and had a look around and noticed something but that could not be it so another look and then the Doh moment happened and we soon had the coords worked.Thanks jamesknowlson TFTMC.

Great little multi. Finally came with no muggles around. TFTC

Actually quite enjoyed this multi, no-one around so we had the place to ourselves.The first WP took us to what seemed like the wrong spot as no obvious numbers to be seen...saz went one way, pazza went the other way and while saz accidently found the actual finale log, pazza found the correct numbers for the finale! Well done on a fun multi.Heading into Albany with the bikes in tow to clean up a few more of the unending fun of caches in the area! This was our 6th stop of the day before heading into Middleton Beach to get the treadlies off!Thank you jamesknowlson for placing and maintaining Soccer Grounds for us and others to find and enjoy!

Tricky! Found it about 5m from coords

This one took us longer than expected as we missed the first waypoints location. Once found we made our way to gz and found the geocache! Thanks for the small multi everything is in good order!

TFTC

Found during a recent trip to southwest Western Australia, including a few days in Albany before heading for home along the Eyre Highway. Thanks for the cache jamesknowlson!

Heading out of town so time for one more. A nice bit of camo. Fortunately a quiet time.TFTC

Tricky one

Neat cache! Well designed and executed. And on a quiet Wednesday morning, no problems. I will see if I can rustle up a rusty favourite point!

Found it via Cacher for Garmin

Took us a little bit but ended up finding it was very fun

.

I just found it without using the numbers

Yay

Found it TFTC

Albany Day 7
Arrived into town Saturday booked into the caravan park for 8 days.
After lunch it was decided that we would do caching closer to home on a course that we would end up near Bunnings. This was a nice way to tour the area. Some good loctions & caches found.
Thankyou to the CO's for placing these caches.

Nice and easy, thanks

Nice quick multi so thanks for that as we are still recovering from the Wellstead offerings!

The first way point is off the coordinates but once the numbers were found it was a pleasant quick find, tftc!

Enjoying a short a trip to W.A. and surrounding areas with tmann421
Saw lots of sites and enjoyed the finds.
Thanks to the cache owners for the efforts involved in their hides.

*Another geocaching adventure with woolwood9.*
*We visited many good caches and trails on our trip and had a lot of fun!*
Some showers of rain today but lots of fine weather otherwise.

Really appreciate the cache owners effort putting this container out.
We soon located the hide at the final co-ords.
All logs stamped: *tm/ww NZ*

Out on my own today having a short gap from family while visiting there in Albany. Needed to park inside Street cross the busy road to get to GZ first waypoint a little off but use Geo since Got the numbers required moved on nice easy find, good one. Thanks for bringing here. Cache in good condition

Nice hide

Awesome cache!

The blue herring had us confused for a bit, but soon had it in hand. TFTC!

Woohoo !!! Found it !!!

Out and about at Easter !

Happy Easter

2 for 2 today, and an awesome one too! A blue herring at WP1 for sure, and after a few false sets of coordinates, we went for another look. We then had another sensible set of coordinates, and we made the find. Best of all, it's my friend's birthday and there were no muggles about. TFTC

Wooo finally got it tftc

Returned with MitchDem to find the numbers needed to find WP2, TFTC

Found the elusive first step after a bit of a red or should I say blue herring:-) After that, a quick found was made on a very deserted soccer field. Thanks James for a great little multi. Fav point added.

A beaut multi and well worth another fav.
TFTC
I did make the coords about 10m out

Tftc James, being wanting to do this one for a while but noticed it disappeared during soccer season completed with geokids

On a quiet public holiday the geo kids found the magic numbers then made a quick find of the final cache.
TFTC

Found this one after contacting the owner to smart for me thanks James for the cache

Finally found a chance to fix this one. Hopefully WP1 is there to stay. Enjoy!!!

Going to Perth this weekend, but I should be able to fix first thing when I come back. Hopefully this is all good

Exams finish this week. I will be back caching until the coming week and would like to keep this one going. Will make the first waypoint for permanent

Cache is still down. Despite this place being my second home, I haven’t fixed it.
Reason being is I’m looking to make the first way point a little more permanent. This requires a trip to office works and about 20 bucks.

Under the pump with school at the moment so will try and get this out shortly. Sorry about the wait.

Numbers in the wrong spot. Will try fix today

A very nicely constructed little multi.

TFTC jamesknowlson this is find #11969 for us.

Tftc

Great hide best when no one around

Out and about doing a couple tonight nice cache tftc

Stopped by to a deserted ground on my way home from Denmark.

Quick find here for me before the rain started.

Thanks for a Multi JK

Cheers

Find 57 of 65 with 0 DNFs during a big WAGB day by bike and by car, working our way across to Denmark via the IAM series then Richlink's event and Crabzy's CITO event, then back to Albany to roam around Mount Clarence in the increasingly wet and cold afternoon. Thanks to all the organisers and COs for a great day.

The only good multi is a quick multi Especially when it's drizzling and cold. And this is a quick multi, so thanks for that. As a kid I would have loved to play on these pitches. Even in winter they look pristine. Our pitches were either mud baths or dust bowls.

TFTC jamesknowlson!

Came looking at 7pm on the 6th so nobody around with my uncle ifiikm8 and father davey1960

Found before them both great hide tftc

Awesome little cache! Didn't take long to find as part of our attempted 12 caches in a day. Loved the "in your face" cache - fav added to the list
Thanks for the cache Jamesknowlson!

You definitely have to time to right, we had two abortive attempts yesterday due to spectators surrounding gz. Glad to finally find it vacant. Thanks Jamesknowlson

In town for WAGB 2021
Out and about with richlink and Dumpling gathering a couple of finds. Thanks for the cache JamesKnowlson

A nice quick find to start the day. TFTC

A nice quick multi. TFTC

Nice quick multi before heading to Denmark TFTC

Found it and signed the log as EV and thanks for the cache and hunt.

Thanks for this multi.

A weekend down in Albany for the WAGB 2021!

Published

With a group from WAGB21. THANKS FOR THE {FTF}

After the event we were sitting around the fire when we saw this published. Screamed out here and although I was last there, I found the cache first. Joint *FTF* with many. Cheers jamesknowlson!

Caching with Kapelula, Meme28 and Burn345 during WAGB event. What a great weekend of caching. Our aim for this weekend was to collect our solved puzzles , caches that worked towards one of the many challenges we are after and anything else that took our interest. Caches were found in great condition. Logged as MIKB
[FTF] with a few other teams all at the cache at the same time.

*FTF* A bit of fun night caching during WAGB 2021 with I C Nothing, Meme28, Burns345 and Cirrus_WA. TFTF

After having been involved in the placement of this cache I will now log a find since FTF is out of the way.
Such a sneaky little hide. Favourite point worthy!!

After the event at the scout hall we were sitting around the fire when the notifications came through. That was the Queue to leave and of we went.
A great little multi and a fun walk at night. Joint *FTF* with a large group of others. Have a fav point for the fun.

**FTF** with a huge group after the WAGB Sundowner event.

Got the notifications while sitting round the fire so decided to drop everything and head out to these two multis.

Both cool hides, thanks James and Jasmine.

{*FTF*} @ 20:56 with a big crew.

Out for some night caching and checking the map as were we’re leaving the campsite and saw the FTF on the map so made a beeline for it.
Joined a few other teams and got joined by some more, twas the last pair to arrive that got the needed info for everyone and it was a short walk to GZ.

The first day of WAGB21 had us starting the day in Manjimup working down to Walpole and across to Albany.
It was a slow morning letting the kids run their sillies out in Manjimup Heritage Park. Once we hit the road Mr B dropped off pretty quickly so plans for stops were abandoned and we were just short of Walpole when he woke so it was there we stopped for lunch.
Another couple of grabs after lunch and then it was nonstop to Albany.
The kids were stoked with our cabin and immediately ran off to explore the park.
With the light fading we headed to the Scout Camp for a great catch-up with everyone over snags and the fire.
Once the kids were settled for the night I was back out grabbing some Labs and others around town.
Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
