Swanning Around Northam, Western Australia, Australia
By sbirgert on 27-Jul-23. Waypoint GCABZ3M

We visited the local fish & chip shop because we are poms & it's a Friday night ritual. We ate them in the park and just as dusk was falling we went for a walk to see the swans.Crafty one. TFTC sbirgert, taryn12826

I found this some time ago and realise I havent logged it yet. Great place to see the white swansMany thanks Caperdoodle2 for adding to my adventures.

A bit of a search but got there in the end!TFTC

Satuday shopping in Northam. Plus, quick stretch in the park with geocaching.

Such a great spot

Awesome finally logging this for another smiley. Thanks for the cache

Have checked this cache after a couple of DNFs. Cache is still there and in good condition with original log attached.

Also no luck. Might need a visit from owner

Came here and found another old cache from another series (I was told) and appears that a few have signed this log thinking it was the newer one. Could we please get confirmation from CO regarding this please. Cheers

This one took a lot longer than it should have...I knew where to look... but still missed it a couple of times. Thank goodness for phones. TFTC

NEF this morning without muggles walking their dog. TFTC sbirgert & taryn12826.

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.I tried to find another one here a few years ago but didn't have any luck. Today was much easier.TFTC Caperdoodle2

Out and about again, headed out to Northam to get muggle son driving time before I go back to work. Made a fair dent into the area, still a bit to find to total clear area.Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds todayThanks to all the COs for the hides I found.

It took quite awhile of searching to find this one with the help of the camera on our phone. We finally spotted it. Thanks

Heading up to Southern Cross to meet up with a few other caching team to tackle the Mount Helena / Aurora Ranges. This was one of the caches I found along the way today . Pic proof I found the cache but dropped my pen .Some logs signed as N2OThis is my 11615find.Thankyou Caperdoodle2 for placing and maintaining this cache

Headed out for a wheatbelt trip with B12, L177 and Geotrakka. Managed a fair few KMs on day one and ended up in Mollerin Rock to camp. Thanks to all the COs for the placement of caches for our enjoyment TFTH

We found the swans ... but not the cache!

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 for the hide.

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.

Very sneaky. Another smiley on the map.

Quick morning stop into Northam for a funeral. Thanks for the cache.

Out in York for a night to catch up with a mate. Picked up a few caches on the way out and way in, making some deviations to clean up a few blips on the map. Cheers sbirgert!

Looked high and low , excited to be the 2nd found log.... will be back!

Running some errands in town, I made sure to swing by this cache first... The prize took a few minutes & was located once I decided on a systematic approach [^]

TFTC sbirgert, taryn12826 I always enjoy this sneaky style of hide!
