Nice and easy

Out and about again, made a good in Rocko then headed south to North Mandurah. Plenty of DNFs, apparently its called cache blindness. Finding in the dark makes an extra layer of difficulty.This is 15753.Thanks to macgyver1973 for the caches I have found.

Heading south with the Cockburn Crew for a Wednesday night caching run. Cheers macgyver1973! Join us in Augusta, in Western Australias South West, for WA Goes Big 2024 (GCAGV8Y) on Friday 20 to Sunday 22 September. Log your will attend now!

Out and about with the youngest Canpmellow jnr, the geo princesses are home with Covid. Decided to add a few more smileys along the beachfront. The car was close enough to return with a new log ?? TFTC

Out on this beautiful morning grabbing some caches. We enjoyed the short walk to gz and after a short search spotted the cache laying on the ground, we opened it up find no log inside. Unfortunately we didnt have any paper on us to use as a log. We placed the cache back as best we could, this one needs to be looked at. TFTC macgyver1973.

Collecting smilies with axell33 this beautiful morning. A walk to gz and a quick pick up. Thanks for the hide macgyver1973.

It is a fast trip down to Mandurah. Geowife dropped me at Madora Bay at 5 pm and was required to meet up at Mandurah Estuary Bridge Fishing Jetty by 7:30 pm with my geobike. I managed to collect some yellow smiley and visit some with blue faces. The nice sunset with many people at the beach side which increases the difficulties of collecting more. Today collection rate is 50%. Spent most of my time around San Remo.About the cacheThis cache is easily found. No need to get into the fenced-off area. TFTC.

GPS on point

Went for a night walk and found it !

Decided to spend a few hours this morning grabbing some caches that were not too far from home.

Thanks macgyver1973 for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 12:26:00. This was my Find 13 for today out of a Total number of 13 Finds and 2 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 5725.

Warm arvo and listening to fire alerts nearby. No-one about so able to search unimpeded. Co-ords good. Thanks macgyver1973

We decided to head here and grab a few of the available caches around this area. This cache was one on our to do list for the morning. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there macgyver1973, we were in this area today and found your cache Macgyver 8 - 500 Finds GC9CXEH. Our name was added to the log book at 8:54 am on 19 November 2022. 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 - 13980.

Thanks for the smiley here. Another cool creation. Tftc

Found this one with Ebenie, thanks for placing and maintaining.

Out with PollyMichele for the day. Thanks for the cache

Time to hang around Mandurah for a bit with a few detours for LGAs. TFTC.
You can't mistake that as anything but a cache. Nice.

I was checking out my frowny faces to try to rectify in the area and after reading .K.B's log below I realised that we did actually find and sign this one, her description of what it was helped me realise my mistake ..... that I meant to put a DNF on Scarlets Web just around the corner, not this one!... (the error of not keeping track at each cache I guess!)

Cache has definitely been found and log has definitely been signed!

Nice little park, easy quick find, thanks for the cache macgyver1973!

I think I found this but the recent dnf has me worried! If it’s the one I think, I had to unscrew both ends to get to the log. Fingers crossed this is the correct cache. Thanks.

Had a look around in the rain but no luck today...we will be back

We were up in Mandurah to catchup with good friends that were also visiting from much farther afield. Lunch was salubrious, and a good walk to burn off some of the extra goodness consumed in the later half of the meal was much needed.

Away from the beach we headed. I thought I’d found the cache very quickly, but merely had a close shave. I moved around a bit and found the cache. A paper cache, much easier to write upon. This little patch of bush in suburbia is quite nice TFTC

Nice quick find before heading home after a spot of caching this morning. Found with Redrobbin25. Tftc

A nice quick find! Found with teamlaroche! Thanks for the cache ️

Found the cache in good condition. Was great after a few DNFs in a row previous to this. Cheers

Nice quick find here.

Quick find. Bonus was speaking to two bmx kids building an awesome jumps nearby.

Found it. TFTC macgyver1973. I looked there several times before I saw it. I must be getting old. Replaced as found

Found this on a trip out with Geodog R. Thanks for the cache guys. First find for day out of 3, so happy to get this one ️

Having spent time around this area often over the past few years I’ve always thought this park needed a cache and was keen but unable to look for it when I drove past as it was in a work capacity.
Tonight SirFancy and I parked up nearby and had an easy walk to GZ and the cache was spotted in the torchlight soon after getting there.

A look over the map had us planning on heading southwards this evening to see what caches we could grab.
There have been a few caches down this way that I’ve had my eye on for quite sometime and those were our main targets.
We encountered quite a few canines not happy we were near their homes so some searches were kept to a minimum.
The night ended with mixed results only 2 finds to go with 3 DNF’s.

Great cache design, not exactly a dog park.

After an early morning run out to the Avon Valley National park to find out last 2001 cache anywhere within a days drive we headed west to Joondalup and caches our way to the city, before heading south to Mandurah to help cleanup a few unfound caches and a large number of hides that were released this morning,

Thanks to the local COs, a great day out!

Thanks macgyver1973 for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces.

TFTC. Quick find but I doubt this container will last very long with how it’s placed.

Thanks for the new cache, Geokids thought they'd struck gold
