Checked a lot of trap doors before I got the right one. TFTC

Found it and some nice creepy crawler

An unusual Hide, and we felt a bit awkward retrieving it as it seems to be part of somebodys structure and wall. Thanks Domsky

Found with O319 on our way south. The hint didn't really match up with where we found it.

Found, but not according to the clue. Also breaks Geocaching rules in that you have to dismantle a structure to find it. We only noticed it when we found the loose ........TFTC

After spending a few days in Gawler it was time for to drive my mums (well my car now) from Gawler back to Perth. This was day four travelling from Norseman to Coolgardie via Kalgoorlie on a 5 day 3,100km adventure. There are hundreds of signs saying do not drive tired so geocaching helped with that.I trucked on across the beautiful scenery grabbing many caches.After 3 incidents the day before, 800km and 13hrs on the road my third incident was the motel had booked me on the wrong night. Thankfully i was able to get the last room at the pub at about 1930. Grabbed a pizza and a couple of drinks and up to my room.It was a nice cool beautiful morning and i knew i only had about 250 kms driving so i was happy especially after the day before..I grabbed the caches around Norsemen, did some sightseeing and then headed north to Kambalda.This cache was found after a couple of minutes and then deciding to look where i di and bingo. It could have taken longer. So happy again. Thanks for the cache Charmley River

Please be careful, there are lots of ants that bite and real spiders to deal with.

There are a lot of ants, spiders and both were biting.

Amazing caches! Signed log!

We live in town so will be back to find it!

been working at camp for a year and a half, I've looked and looked and finally today found itgreat cache and glad I found it (5th attempt)

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. After spending some time in Peterbough, Minlaton, Moonta,Whyalla and Wudinna we are now headed home. Unexpected overnight stay in Kambalda due to being stuck behind a burning semi for four hours between Norseman and Widgiemooltha. Up early this morning to grab the local hides before doing the same in Kalgoorlie. Beware the red back in residence. Thanks Charnly River

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor. We are on the home stretch now and picking up a few stragglers along our route, and this was one of the stragglers. Having previously had a DNF here, we were chuffed to find the cache. Thanks.

Staying O/Night in Kambalda.
Looked earlier without any luck.
PAF and we returned to make the find.

Hmmm I wonder why we didn't think to look there?

Found. Location was a bit off but a good find

Heading East trying to pick up a few caches on the way.

Dropped into Kambalda to catch up with some friends and picked up a few caches as well

Found it on attempt 2, TFTC

Found on way to Kalgoorie for a few nights. Having to be careful of road train's.

Day 5 of Geotrakka and my road-trip around the Kalgoorlie area. Most of our group has departed, so Geotrakka and I are hoping to get quite a few more smilies around town.
Some logs signed as N2O.
This is my 10838find.
Thankyou opted-out user for placing and maintaining this cache

Day 5 of our road trip/ camping adventure. Many packed up and left this morning but N2O and I are here for another day of caching around Kalgoorlie. Planning a busy day to grab local caches after an epic couple of days out at Victoria Springs.
I found your cache opted-out user which added to my adventures. Thanks for placing it. Your cache makes my 6182 find.

Found this one with a work colleague while over for an exciting work trip - we were staying in Kalgoorlie, not this camp

TFTC

Found quickly and easily. Noticed the dnfs prior to arrival so we antipathetic anticipated we might not achieve success but we happily got this one. TFTC

No go for me

We so wanted to find this cache, but we didn't. Oh well maybe next time.

It took a little time for the gps to settle down, but all good in the end. Caching duties done.
Thanks Charnley River

Out in the goldfields collecting what’s on offer by night and working the 9-5 by day. Thanks to the CO’s for placing and maintaining the caches for our enjoyment.

Overnighting in Kal so have made a bit of a mission to cleanup the few remaining caches around town.

Thanks for the find.

TFTC found second time round.

Returned at mid afternoon on a Saturday and still very conspicuous. With added encouragement from CO after last hint that we were on the right track, did a methodical search and found it. TFTC

Time to head back east and return to work. But first I have to find this to go towards a challenge I’m working on, GC7D1DK - SFE Challenge - All the 3s.
Shame I can’t claim a 3 for being the 3rd finder.

TFTC Charnley River
Keep smiling

I was only able to have a brief search for this cache, so it is no surprise that I did not find it.

As there have been a few Cache's not find this cache I called by to check on it. I can see there has been some activity near the base of trees. It is not located in that location. Look at the web based page for further clues in the back ground image and also the difficulty rating as it may take more that a few minutes to find.

Had a good search at the listed co-ords to no avail. Can see signs of previous searching.

Yes found it what a good hide almost gave up

Spent ages searching but gave up as it could be anywhere. Maybe a better hint to narrow down where to search could be helpful.

Good find, still in the right spot

Have visited the site and the cache is still sitting there. I noticed that using the Geo App takes you in several directions. I have re checked the co-ordinance and they are the same as the average of three taken when setting up the Cache. Only a few times did the app show 0 m when very close by. Also the app does not show the back ground image which is also a clue. So if your having a struggle open up on a PC using the web based version.

Another go today while there were few muggles about. 10 minutes was enough for me today. No luck!

Sandyofthesea and I had a good crack but the traffic here at 6:45pm is busy. When the bus driver passed us for the second time and stopped to ask if we okay, we decided to stop the search.

15 minutes and no luck.

My GZ was in the trees and not in camp sign area. We did flip a paver and found heaps of webs but no cache.

Thanks for the hide

Took the geokids for a scout around but at 4.30pm the traffic in and out of the camp makes hunting an embarrassing exercise. GZ was in a blank spot between all the trees. Found a few cool spots where I thought I was about to come up with the goods but they were empty (and spidery).

Many mugglers about. Will attempt another time
