WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 53 - Bunbury Day 6. For my last day in Bunbury, I chose to start the day with a cafe breakfast in town. With five to choose from in one block I was spoilt and had a great meal. The first part of my caching day was in the suburbs just south of Bunbury, with the usual mix of success and failure. Over my whole day it was almost one DNF for every three finds. I was happy that some caches have had maintenance recently, so that is good news. My afternoon was supposed to be a country road series, but that was troubled as well. There is a huge new road going in that made accessing some of the areas I wanted a very convoluted exercise, but in the end, I made it to the site of all the caches I had in mind. However, even out here there were more DNFs than I would have expected. I finished the day visiting three challenge caches before going back to finish a cemetery issue and get fuel for tomorrows drive to Freemantle. I have really enjoyed my time in Bunbury, big enough for plenty of services, not too big to be difficult. Not to mention lots and lots of great caches.Dowdells Line was my main goal, and even here it was up and down. The road was a little busier than I expected.Thanks for the cache Rach247836.16 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2015 Rescue coin A#307**Albida**

Thanks for placing and maintaining this series for us to enjoy. We managed to find all of the series with one being a bit harder. We gave up but mr Adinache’s perseverance paid off and we had the prize. Trying to get 100 for the month and this run has helped us out with that goal.

Out and about with Pollythecollie and Iateyourhorse in some beautiful autumn weather. Most of the caches in this series found easily and quickly. Thanks Rach2

On a Winters afternoon out and about with Geodogs M and R, we stopped by to grab this. Tftc guys

We came along today in our best geocaching footwear (gumboots) and needed them, as after the recent rain and some more last night many of the road sides and drains were very wet.
This series was along a lovely country road drive. All the caches were found OK and the logs had both names added to record our visit. Thanks go to Rach2 for placing this series.

Looking for some more caches today with goingplaces2. It was quite wet in places but we had a good day. Like adding all the caches in this series to our list of finds. TFTC.

Good find

Found it. TFTC Rach2. Happy to make the find here, replaced as found

G’day there Rach2, I was in this area today and found your cache Dowdells Line #13 GC9VAR6. Our name was added to the log book at 9:48 am on 25 June 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 - 13560.

This is the second of two caches while out for a country drive exploring new roads. And collecting my two quota cache count for the day.
Unlike the previous find of mine, this cache was hidden. But not hidden so well that I could not spot where it was very quickly.
Great moss all around. Stayed to take a few photos, before heading back by more roads I’ve not driven till now. TFTC

Quick find to end the wagb weekend. TFTC

Thank you! In Bunbury for WAGB 2022. Today papillon367 and I cached on back roads and scenic drives to Bunbury to Collie and back. Happy to make the find here.

Thank you for the cache Rach2!
Teamed up with ullyssia for our third day of the WAGB long weekend. Our focus today was several trails East of Bunbury and any other cache on our way to Collie for the CITO. We picked up some rubbish along the way and we had a bag full by the time we got to Collie. All the caches were quick finds. Nice to run into a few teams in our travels!

Drove the scenic tourist route through Ferguson Valley back to Bunbury from WAGB22 events in Collie. The sun was setting on what was a fun filled day as I collected this series. All caches in good order.
