So today I thought it was about time I wandered up and went for a walk and retrieve this series of caches. Although I didn't even try and get the last couple as there were muggles around. But overall was a nice walk albeit very noisy from the highway.

Almost like being at the V8 Supercars here this afternoon! Certainly a lot of muggles heading towards Hobart. TFTCCheers,The Hancock Clan
We are aware of the Bibbulmun Trail from our visits to Western Australia. We have visited many of the towns along the trail and have walked some very short sections. The scenery and heritage along the trail is superb. We can appreciate the attraction of the walking the Bibbulmun Trail and congratulate JABs on his achievement. So when the publication of Bibb Trail commenced, it was a major attraction for us. Circumstances dictated that today was our first opportunity to look for the first caches in this series.Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks JABs for this cache and the series so far - looking forward to continuation of the series.
Today we went out for Birthday lunch at Frogmore Creek it was delightful and delicious. After that whilst the husband fended off his cold in the car I went for a brisk March to find several of the series by the freeway. Im not sure I walked off the lunch but I had a crack at it .Another nice easy find TFTC
Ok - I cheated a little here, instead of walking in from the end where there were placed from, I came from the other end. The walk seemed shorter from this endAfter a day of work the walk did me good!I actually walked past a number I had found and even one I hadnt found, leaving that for tomorrow after workThank you for the cache
Saw these caches a couple of weeks ago, had a pick up at the airport so had a chance to get them. Thanks for the great walking trail. TFTC
Today stainless steel rat and I decided to do the Bibb Trail. We parked on Grahams Road and walked all the way to Alliance Drive, turned around and walked all the way back again. The return journey took half the time, as we hoofed it back, having found ALL the caches on the outbound trip. As we approached each GZ, we used a combination of the hint, the compass, and geosense to get us to the prize. Some were quick finds, but some took a bit longer. We had a trail bike fly past us a couple of times, so be careful!An enjoyable three hours exercise but I was pretty hungry by the time we finished.I am looking forward to the rest of the series being published.Thanks JABs
Myself and Goose had talked about doing this trail for awhile now but wanted to wait till there was a few out so we could do a whole section, as it turned out that is exactly what we managed find more than we bargained for!Parking within 2m of number 1 on Grahams Rd was a good start, with us taking a leisurely walk to end of the track at Alliance Drive, this took us 1 hour 51 minutes, the return only took 54 minutes.Some hides we found the coords a bit out but with the hint and geosenses it wasn't a problem, the only other person we spotted on the trail was a brain-dead dirt biker who hooned passed a couple of times.Found on 13/04/2024 at 12:23:00 thanks to JABs for placing this cache for me to find.

Thanks JABs for hiding this cache, I needed a find for today to update my calendar and find streak. This is my find #1502 at 17:42 on 9/4/2024.
Thanks for the cache JABs.Headed out this afternoon to take the GeoGSPs for a walk and decided it was time to head to this now very familiar track to find the latest instalment of caches.All were found quickly thanks to accurate coords.Interesting notes in the description of your walk - "the last 6km of tomorrow will require wading through water, with a forecast of rain"!!!!
Hello JABs thank you for the cacheThis evening I made another trip to this lovely area to find another one of your caches.A nice quick find.Found on Thursday, 21 March 2024 at 1907**TFTC**
Things have been quite chaotic recently with rushed interstate visits and a number of family gatherings to involve us. As it doesn't get any better over the next few weeks decided to take today's window of opportunity and gather the new set of caches along this trail A sunny and pleasant day fora walk. Began in an area well known to us but quickly headed onto a new trail which was enjoyable except for the heavy road-traffic noise.By now there are open paddocks on the hillside and a number of horses showing an interest in the bypasser.TFTC
We returned today to do the 4 new additions to the trail with a different geograndson who was pleased to find this one before us. TFTC
We saw this cache published yesterday but it was far too hot to even think about a long walk. We decided to go for a mid morning stroll and these new caches gave us a good reason to rediscover this end of the trail. Thanks for placing these caches for our enjoyment. TFTC
Starting from the Alliance Rd end i made my way south to grab these 4 new hides, with this being find #2 for this arvo.A quick find and sign while the sky threatened to douse me, i just laughed and said: "A ha ha not in a drought you wont".Well, the rain is trying to fall, but it's very light thankfully, so hunching over the logbook was the go here as i SL of this one at 13:56 on Sunday 10 March 2024.The log was as dry as i found it post find and the cache was re-hidden, with no Muggles anywhere unless you count the hoards of Motorist-Muggles TFTC JABs
I was notified of the new additions to this series this morning, and after a couple of hours they were still unfound so we decided to try and find them. As it turns out we were beaten to the ftf by more than two hours, congratulations to DnA! on the FTFs. We enjoyed walking along this trail again, this time parking at the opposite end of the trail and doing the new caches in reverse. A fun series, hopefully the next instalment isnt too far away!Thanks for the cache JABs!
