This our 3rd visit here! We took a very systematic approach today. Split up 7m either side of gz and felt our way towards each other. Yay! I found it!!TFTC Spark22
Finally I found this. I have tried two or three times already and I can't believe I didn't find it. It's exactly where the satellite picture shows it and I would have gone all along before. TFTC
Finally.. after waiting ages for the place to empty I was able to make the find. It took a while though. TFTC
Attending an event nearby putting some more on the map around Northam. Thanks
Took a long time to finally come back and search for this one again. Finally found it in its hiding spot.
We had a good search around but no luck at all here today.
2nd look for this one & again came away empty handed
Thanks

Full time nomads since February 2014, back in WA to visit family.
Our last day tootling around the countryside picking up some smilies after WAGB & Maker Magic events. Just had to tackle half a dozen town caches or so we thought. Seems a few more caches were published yesterday and we hadnt realised. [B)] So it was after 1pm before we finally hitched the caravan and headed for Perth.

Took awhile but got they in the end under a keen eye of the 4 legged neighbour. Tftc
Despite a hint from the CO and two attempts we failed I know the 2 people who logged on line after us actually found it before our DNF, so who knows whether it is still there or not.
Thought May as well grab this one as we packed up to leave town.
Arrived at GZ and KB was there. We both looked and couldn’t find so I started to walk away to help Mr dimor pack up when KB yelled ‘Got it’ so went back and signed the log.
Thanks KB for finding it.

Couple of days off work this week, so making the most of a wet day I headed out to some newly published caches near Northam, instead of doing the jobs I should have been doing.
Quick find while the servo was empty. Cheers Spark22!

Went and looked for this one myself as there had been a few dnf's I was unable to find it so have replaced it, sorry for anyone who was inconvenienced by this
Spent a fair bit of time here but could not find.
Doubled checked GPS, but Zip
Looking at recent logs, I'm wondering if it's still hidden.

Early evening find on way back to our accommodation. Facility was empty so made for a quick find. Thanks for the hide.
Cache found on our way home from a 5 month caching tour of SA. Picking off a few caches along the way. We are amazed at the number of new caches put down while we were away. A quick find aided by good coords and a lack of muugles TFTC Spark22.
Heading out of Perth on a long road trip so what a perfectly named cache to find as my first stop on the way! All very quiet around here this morning so was able to park up right next to GZ. Initially walked a bit too far along the host, then saw a log confirming the coords were spot on... so trusted where my GPS was pointing A nice quick find was made after that! No problems here today - TFTC
Picked up while out on a country caching run with Mrs OOH.
Good coords led us straight to it.
TFTC Spark22 this is find #13898 for us.

Making our way home from a maintenance run to the north, we decided to grab a couple of in town caches before grabbing some lunch/breakfast. We arrived at gz and parked so the car would give us cover for the search. A quick search and Leega spotted the cache. We added our names to your log and returned cache back to its place of hiding.

Grabbing some Northam caches, on our way home after a wheatbelt round trip with axell33. Haven’t been into Northam for a while now and it quite busy today. We made the find here after a quick search. Thanks for the hide here Spark22.
A quick find here, but as I was in a courtesy car from Ford, I didn't have a pen . I headed off to grab a few supplies and also a pen, so returned a little later to sign the log

Day 1 of WAGB22 week, the plan was to go to Northam and do a few along the way including KEP Series near Clackline and the walk up the hills in Bobakine Nature Reserve. Did some GG Series but had to miss a few and some missing in the roadworks sections.
66 Finds and 4 DNF, and 1 not willing to swim in the Avon.
Thanks to all the CO’s for their hides and maintaining the series.

Megawat60 and I have come to Northam on a mini road trip to explore the town and its surrounds… many new caches since our last visit 3 years ago!
A quick find, glad the guy next door knew what I was doing! TFTC!

Visiting town today we stopped here and filled up the log book. Was a little sceptical seeing the guard dog behind the fence but he wasn’t Harding the cache.
Have a Fav point for your first hide!

***FTF*** 8.39pm - sitting down having a hot milo and PING off went my phone *Groan - another new cache too far to get to tonight I thought. Then I realised it was 2 new releases - one the usual 79kms away and the other …. 1.5kms away!! Jumped into the car - took all of 2 minutes I was able to drive straight up to GZ - and managed to let my fingers do the walking without using the torch on my phone. Signed the blank log. Congratulations Spark22 - Heres a fav for your first hide. I look forward to many more!
