Out for a nice drive after all the rain and getting my mojo back. Thanks to all the cache owners for their hides.

Nice and easy park and grab. Close to the track so no bush bashing, happy about that. Signed the log and returned as found. TFTC

Found while out off roading

Clean up Australia Day tftc

Found the cache in pieces laying in the bush. No log. Replaced the log and put the cache back where it belongs.

Nice park and grab with Caperdoodle1

Found full series now thanks!

After completing the AV series we headed to grab this set on our way back to our accommodation. Thanks crabzy11

We intended to do the caches out this way during IGD in 2022 but the atrocious weather and subsequent flooding put paid to that so many of them had to be deferred.
The wet weather persisted and by the time the sun came out we were busy hosting two groups of muggle visitors from the UK and went on a couple of interstate visits to QLD & NSW.
After a heavy day of rain recently we thought we had better get our act together before another wet season scuppered our plans again. TFTC crabzy11

Full time nomads stopping in Toodyay for a while.

After 3 days of 37degrees today was forecast to be a 'cool' 32degrees so we decided to tackle the Julimar caches. We ended up with only 1 DNF for our day and some interesting 4x4 driving that we havent done for a while. Lunch at the Bindoon bakery was a bonus but dodging the oversize loads going North and South on the highway was a bit of a challenge.

Soft sand / dirt but our van got up it ok.

A pleasant summer's day so decided to head out to Chittering to pick up some caches we didn't have time for on the IGD weekend.

TFTC crabzy11 this is find #14591 for us.

We dropped the caravan off in Bindoon so that we could tackle these caches on our way home. TFTC crabzy11

Quick find and a fun track to go down TFTC

Out n about with m4yb grabbing a few caches.

Thanks for the hide & crabzy11

At the end of our Spring Break, megawat60 and I are now in Toodyay getting smilies in the bush.
After an enjoyable 4x4 ramble south of Julimar Road, we went up this road and grabbed a few more caches. TFTC crabzy11!

Found it. TFTC crabsy11. Log signed as PUPPES. Joined forces with papillon367, ullyssia, e.gregory1 and sacada for the day while attending the IGD event. Happy to make a quick find here, replaced as found.

A quick find and a great location. A nice cache to find.
Thanks.

A trip up to Lower Chittering for the WAGB event. TFTC.
Out with a group signing as puppes.

Dropped Deefa71 back at the IGD22 event and went out to hunt for caches solo. Some people have no stamina! This was one I found this afternoon. Tftc

Found while attending the nearby IGD events at Lower Chittering.

This morning I headed out with sacada, Papillon367, ullyssia, and Photo-Play to find a few caches of interest. I was lucky I was in such great company as we found everything we looked for and ended up with no DNFs. Logs were signed as ‘PUPPES’.

Thanks crabzy11 for the cache.

Do you ever get weird feelings when you meet another people and you are not sure if they are geocachers of not

I couldn't drive past these caches. TFTH

Thank you! Found while attending IGD 2022 in Lower Chittering.
Teamed up for the day with papillon367, Photo-Play, e.gregory1 and sacada (signing logs as puppes) to find a variety of caches. sacada and his 4WD got us to places and caches I would have had to hike in for kilometres. Great team and a fun day out.

Thank you for the cache crabzy11! Found while attending the nearby IGD 2022 events in Lower Chittering.
Teamed up for the day with sacada (our very skilled 4WD driver), e.gregory1, ullyssia, and Photo-Play to find a few hides in the area. We had a fun and successful day with no DNFs and swapped a few caching stories in the car - nice opportunity to meet two interstate geocachers! We signed the logs as ‘PUPPES’.

Headed out with the MICKS (Meme28, I C Nothing,Cirrus_WA, Kapalua and me SirFancy) crew and Burns345.
We got a lot done and headed to the CITO event then got a few more before lunch, after lunch we jumped in to different peoples FWDs and headed out as a much larger group, there was mud and fun.
Ended the day with good food surrounded by good people.

Cache in good condition.


This is my 3205 find.
Thank you crabzy11 for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!
(I’m not a geologist I just like puns)

Perfect weather for a day of caching. Don’t envy the COs with the number of emails they must be receiving! Thanks for a huge effort in hiding these caches.

A big day of caching was planned for today. Machman and I hit the road just after 6:30am, returning home 12hrs later. A full day of caching from Indian Ocean Drive, across to Gingin, Bindoon, parts of Julimar Road then down around Chittering. Over 70 finds and luckily only a handful of DNFs, and 1 FTF!

Thanks to all the COs for your efforts. TFTC.

During IGD Weekend. (Friday to Sunday)
The Chittering Valley - plenty flew the water via creek - some flood but country so beautiful view with green lawn due to rain...
Enjoyed drive the car - country and bush land - plenty of paddles..
Sorry, copy and paste.

Out with Spatial Riq on an 12 hour cache run, as part of the International GC day 2022 events, around Bindoon and chittering area. Big day picking up 80 smilies ??on the way.

Many thanks to all the GC owners who placed hides for hides for the weekend.

The Machman

Up in the area to do some last minute IGD prep. Might as well chip away at some caches before the hoards get here. Many thanks to the COs for placing these caches for us all to enjoy.

In the Chittering area get ing ready for The IGD weekend. Had a bit of spare time so we thought we should grab a few caches along the way . The sun is shining, so a great day to be out and about tftc

Out in one of favourite parts of the world - Beautiful bushland, big puddles & lots of caches to find… Whilst Jase was navigator, Master 11 made the finds & I assisted with the stamping of the logbook [^]

Decided to head out and pick up some of the recently published caches. After picking up the 3 challenge caches i came to the dirt tracks caches. I only did the first 2 as i didnt want to chance driving my car any further. Both caches quickly found TFTC crabzy11

Came out to the Chittering area to grab a few smiley's before the event. Thankfully the weather is nice and the rain is holding off. Thought I'd try the new 4x4 but haven't bought the recovery stuff with me. Glad it was a nice easy track to try. Cache found quickly. TFTC.

Got up and did what I had to today while we thought where we would like to go today to do some caching when the new caches where published. Decision solved. Packed a picnic lunch and off we went. The rain was very heavy travelling there and we were luck for the first half of the morning of fine weather then it poured. We are both very wet but decided to do a few more then head home. Didn't do as many as I wanted to do but can't afford to get a cold.
Quick find here, log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

Headed out to Gingin and Bindoon to do event preparation for the IGD event next month.

Joint *FTF* at this one. We got a few weird head turns with the Mazda coming down the track. However it was more than doable. Had to pull over a couple of times to let vehicles pass, a busy track. Cheers crabzy11!

Good to leave suburbia get back to the bush.
Managed to snag a few finds with a joint [FTF]
Thanks Crabzy11 for the hide

Out and about today. Thanks crabzy11 for the find.

Well it was a needed day to go geocaching to hide some new containers for the upcoming event. Didn’t review the weather and was in summer attire for the trip today. It sure was chilly stepping out of the car!

Anyway cache found thanks!
