WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 70 - Goomalling Day. The day was a little overcast, but it has been a very cold night. Not freezing, but cold enough. I was joined by Sacada and Aqulus1 today as we did a trail south to Northam. We did some Labs in Northam and a few caches which were along the way or near th labs. Lunch was at one of the Northam bakeries before getting back in the car to head back to Goomalling via the second half of the cache trail. A great day with friends normally on the other side of the country. The evening turned wet and I stayed inside to cook dinner.There were markets on in the park, but they did not stretch over to here. We were here for a lab, but despite the size, we just had to have a go finding this one as well, and we did.Thanks for the cache Barnzy1248284.36 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & First Geocoin in Orbit Copper A#104**Albida**

Searched for ages but no luck

My wife and I setup at a picnic table in the park for lunch. There was another couple at another table right next to GZ so we were happy to wait them out. Whilst we sat there we saw the sign about the water park and to Mrs Woodyrothwells mind it just looked like a boring patch of cement. We also found a button that said Push to Start.After a feed my wife said, You know I have to push that thing. There werent many people around yet I didn't want to be the one arrested in case there were some sort of water restrictions in place. She pushed the button and the water jets started and on such a hot day were cursing that we hadnt bought our togs with us. Thankfully there were two young kids on the playground that saw what was going on and dragged their parents over for a splash.Feeling vindicated that we hadnt just wasted water we then took our chance to look for the cache. I saw it straight away but still made Mrs Woodyrothwell crawl in the pipe for a look. tftc

Smart hide had us looking for a little longer than we'd like to admit

Headed up to Kalbarri to do the new parkrun and we had a couple of extra days off work so we took our time on the return journey and picked up a couple of caches on the way.Staying in Northam overnight on the long way back home and spending the afternoon exploring the town. Another quick find hereTFTC Barnzy12

Nice quick find. Thankfully as was very busy!

We are a tad early but already on the 'Road to Koorda' grabbed this cache after spending an hour at the library.In my recent discovery I realised in my primary school days I spent a bit of time with CY O'Connor's granddaughter and great grandson, as a 10yr old I use to help milk cows with the great grandson. Those were fun daysTFTC

Found while cycling around Northern on a Sunday morning. Thanks

After a nearby dnf we continued on to this one and fortunately made a quick find. TFTC.

Today is the fourth and final day of our mini break to York for Taurus Six and I. We have really enjoyed this area and explored and experienced as much as possible with time permitting . Today our plan of action is to head back to Bunbury via Northam , the main geocaching plan of action is to collect a few challenge caches, some Adventure Labs and the bonuses and then as many traditionals that are in the vicinity of all the above as practical . All of this and still get back to Bunbury at a decent hour to organise the rest of life . Firstly we had a good last look around York , including brekkie and collecting a stray Adventure Lab . Then we headed to Northam via the back roads . Perfect spring day verging on a summers day the country side looked magnificent and it was an ideal day for geocaching . All in all we collected for the day 17 Adventure Labs, 3 Challenge caches , 2 Bonus caches and 10 Traditionals . This was our eighth cache find of the day along with several near by Adventure Labs . This park was packed with muggles on a public holiday Monday so lots of stealth was needed. Kids seem to especially like crawling into the pipe. Once the coast was clear we soon honed in on the cache. Thanks for the cache Barnzy12 .

Took a bit

Lovely park

Nice little cache. Thanks

Have travelled with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. After spending some time in Peterborough, Minlaton, Moonta,Whyalla and Wudinna we headed across the Nullarbor, picking up caches along the way including Kambalda and the Goldfields. Winding our way home now and a quick flit through Doodlakine, Muckinbudin and Kellerberrin. Now spending a couple of nights in Northam to grab some hides. Thanks Barnzy12

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.

On our way to Northam for a few days, enjoying the countryside and looking for caches as we go. TFTC.

Pug002 found it 29th August. Had a long wait while windscreen was being fitted so thought ok geocaching can be my walking today, as I am off to Israel Sunday and have had to get fit. If anyone has been to Israel I would appreciate some info for geocaching as haven't been able to get any. TFTC Barnzy12

Mrs Crackers headed down from Geraldton by bus to attend The Magic Maker event yesterday and was very kindly chauffeured around Northam by Di Morgan for the weekend.

Today we ventured further afield picking up some of the newly published caches as well as a few oldies. We learnt a lot about the area as we visited the various caches.
We saw some lovely countryside on this beautiful winters day.


Thanks to all the cache owners for placing these caches for us to find

Arrived into Northman Day4 Have set up in the RV park.
Today we cache with Diane from Team Crackers
As it was our last day, we cached around town doing mainly AL & a few town caches.

Thankyou to the CO's for hiding this cache

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.

Spotted the first geocacher around the cache.

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.

A lab stage right here so had to have a go at this trad. Took way longer than it should've but eventually spotted the little sucker without having to bend the knees after all.

Barnzy12 I found your cache at 9:47am, this was the 4th of 25 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 7975. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

The neat was found once at GZ, lovely landscape around here!

Thank you, Barnzy12, for placing this cache for our enjoyment ??

Overnighter in Northam ahead of the Maker event today. Headed out early this morning to find breakfast and a few caches before the main event. A beautiful crisp and foggy morning to explore Northam! This was one of the caches I stopped off at. Well, in truth the cache was a bonus, I actually stopped here to grab breakfast in Dome... and then realised this was right by my car! And then over coffee realised there was an AL stage here too... so that was a *bonus* bonus I guess All ok here, a quick find - TFTC

Found this one a while ago with BekkiLM and didn't log it. Took a few looks before finding it. Glad the park was rather quiet. TFTC

Great to spend a day in Northam catching up with folk and exploring the lovely town and surrounds. Must come back and spend a couple of days next time.
Tftc here Barnzy12

Took longer than it should have found with LynPat and Nathan.

Another joint find with team Arnott.
We reasoned where it should be then looked in all the hardest places.
Cache was found and logged.
Thanks for the tricky one

Axell33 and I arrived in town and ready for the sundowner and tomorrows event. As we headed towards the bridge we met familiar faces to olthomas and signed the log. This pipeline is a truely remarkable and invaluable treasure for so many. I appreciate any cache regarding it! Thanks for the hide Barnzy12.

Out and about again, managed to get away early for the weekend. The call was to go out to Northam to do the new GG series and some other new ones came up. Smashed out 50+ finds for the afternoon.

Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today

Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

In Northam for the events and picked up a basket full of caches TFTH

After checking into our accommodation we started our walk over to the gathering on the other side of the bridge. We could go past without grabbing this one as we arrived olthomas jumped out of the car and made the find straight away. It’s always great to meet up with other cachers. We all signed the log and returned the cache back to where it was found. TFTC Barnzy12.

In town getting the car serviced, so i decided to hike on over to this nearby cache in the drizzly rain.
After waiting for the council mowers to pass by, i made a quick find and added my name to the log sheet in second spot

***FTF*** 2.25pm Ive been watching this FTF burning a hole in my soul for 24 hours but my dear Dad is over and I couldn’t sneak off from family affairs. After seeing him off today I jumped in my car to head to town and was surprised (yet delighted) to find a blank log here. Many thanks Barnzy12 for placing this hide for me to find and adding to my adventures. This will be my 6511 find.
