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 Rach247838.18 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2014 Compass Rose Fortune A#304**Albida**

Another find for the last of this series. Got a couple to come back to in cooler times.


It’s been a while since I spent any decent time on the caching trails. With a day off from work I thought I’d head out for a morning of finds.

Out on a very chilly, wet and miserable arvo picking up some finds. Thanks for the hide 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.

Easy find

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

A quick park and grab here today. Tftc

We finally got some free time to head down this way and collect a bunch of the caches that had been published since our last trip down here. This cache was in our todo list for the day! Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Rach2, I was in this area today and found your cache Dowdells Line #15 GC9VARB. Our name was added to the log book at 9:56 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 - 13562.

We spent the day with the family in the Ferguson Valley and dropped in to grab this one on the way home. We only had time for one and will grab the others another time.
We started searching the wrong spot first but shifted our search after coming up empty and soon found the cache.
TFTC Rach2

Found it

This cache was the second of two targeted for today’s exploration. Being only a couple of hundred metres down the road meant the drive was quick to this cache.
The cache itself was quickly found. I managed to retrieve, sign the log and hide before any cars came along the road. Given I’d been exploring I chose to continue to do so and followed a different route back home.

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.
A fav for the series.

Thank you for the cache Rach2, a favourite for the series!
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!

TFTC

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.
Thanks for the series.

On our way back to Bunbury after attending the CITO in Collie. Have a favourite for the series.TFTC
