Out and about again, headed out to Toodyay to do a pre-IGD cleanup with Lachlan1.77. We saw a few FTFs appear on the map and some which had been there a few days already. The plan was to grab FTFs first then work from there which took us from Toodyay to Northam and back.Got to Northam and cleaned up green dots, and a finding a couple of previous DNFs along the way.This cache finder number 15988 for me.Thanks to Thejman82 for the caches I have found.
Umno. Had a brief look..too much of a tip with hazardous waste products everywhere..yuk.
Ooh that was hard. Round and round I went and it's so hot today. Finally I saw the tiniest bit of something sticking out. It was 6mtrs out from my co ords. TFTC
Having travelled with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast, down through the centre, the Flinders Ranges, the Yorke Peninsula, and the Nullarbor, we are now on the home stretch. We are staying in Northam for a few days, enjoying the countryside and looking for caches. TFTC.
In town for today's Maker Magic event ([GCA8FM2](https://coord.info/GCA8FM2)) passing time this morning knocking off a few labs about the place and whatever else takes my fancy.
Took a few minutes to locate this one, eventually had hands on the cache with the gizmo showing 10 meters.
Thejman82 I found your cache at 11:29am, this was the 15th of 25 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 7986. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

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.
Had to give it a bit of gas to make sure I rolled through the new river that had formed in the last few hours of rain. Then did a hop skip and jump avoiding the new puddles and two strewn kangaroo legs. Cheers Thejman82!

After a search we found this one! A bit of a tip here, watch out for the wire and dog crap

Time out for Lunch, time for a quick cache.
Nice easy find, shame about the litter.
Did some minor maintenance on the cache, seems that some local rodents thought it might make a nice snack. Some teeth marks left on cache as evidence.
All good, all back in place for next find.

Not a very salubrious spot. A rubbish tip in fact. Hey Ho, a cache is a cache. Thanks for this one. Thejman82
Full time nomads stopping in Toodyay for a while.
A sleep in this morning and no plan of whether we were going caching or not. Physio completed, lunch packed we finally hit the road about 10.30am
On our little picnic sojourn we found your cache.

Warmish arvo so not too keen on wading thru the long grass. Luckily we spotted the hide 6 mts from where our gps indicated. Thanks for the hide.
Knew where GZ was as have been down this area plenty of times before, pulled over and looked around where you could see obvious walking trails but no luck in finding it. Be careful of the hidden wire around the area, the log grass may also be hiding snakes in the warmer weather and there is a couple burrows in the GZ area too so watch your footing.
Perfect weather for a country drive.
No problems here.
TFTC Thejman82 this is find #14194 for us.

I had noticed these new caches published but at the time they had not attracted my attention as I was busy running my kids here, there & everywhere A couple of hours had passed and at that stage no logs were present so I was finally free to take a drive & see what I could find!
My GZ took me to the middle of all the trees so I went around & around searching all of them over and over... With much searching & a little bit of help I finally found this sneaky hide

**FTF*** Joint with Meme28. So nice to have a buddy up here to join me on this hunt - just as we were about to sit down to do some path tag designing I saw the 2 new emails drop. Off we raced - soooo happy to find a blank log *wheww. Thanks Thejman82
Out and about with geotrakka! Bonus find here and Geotrakka was the victor just before the sheep descended on us! {FTF} Cheers
