Today is day two of WAGB 2024 and we are looking forward to a big day. Given our apartment is near the Bakery we started the day with a yummy breakfast from the Bakery and picked up a nearby cache before heading to the Community Hall for the first event. After collecting another near by cache we set off with Pommie Parkin 2 to team up and geocache together out at the Letter box series down Scott River Road . These Letter Box series were a very nice variety of interesting hides , most were straight forward however there were a few that you needed waders to get to them , in Liu of no waders it was just a case of jumping in and getting wet our feet wet. However this all added to the fun of the morning . So did having to quickly get out of the way for a tractor carrying rather large hay bails . Once all the Letter boxes were found we calculated the bonus and soon headed in that direction. Definitely giving a favourite for the series . We bid the Pommie Parkins farewell and we set off back into Augusta on our own and collected a few more traditionals along the way before hitting the Skippy Rock Road series and then clearing up the remaining ones from the Last Trail to Antartica series and other traditionals around Augusta before making our way to the CITO. All in all a fabulous days geocaching.

Down in Augusta for a great midweek getaway. Caching with like minded people and enjoying the local pub after some hard days Geocaching. The weather was less than ideal with Augusta living up to the 4 seasons in one day motto. That being said it was great fun and I would do it all over again. Just maybe in a little bigger boat! Anyway I will be back for WAGB and collect whatever I have missed then! Thanks to the local and some not so local COs for the caches places down here to keep me coming back.

Out and about in Augusta cleaning up some of the recently published caches.TFTC ringtailposs/falcon351 this is find #16879 for us.
Got the bikes out and rode to the lighthouse and did the tour before returning via Skippy road. My partner spotted this one. TFTC
After setting our van up in the nearby caravan park mid arvo, we headed out to do this series. Found that the co-ord accuracy varied quite considerably between all the caches, so the one's we missed we had no idea if it was a case of cache blindness or if the co-ords were well out. One of three hides where the co-ords were spot on! Thanks for the hide.
*FTF*Saw a whole string of new hides down in Augusta and being in the area decided to find a few. This being one of them. Thanks for the adventure.
The co ords on this one seem wrong. S 034 21.557' E 115 08.151' look like much better numbers
