My partner and I are on a road trip from the NSW/Vic border to Mandurah for a wedding and we are caching along the way. We heard about this great gadget series from a fellow cacher that had attended the WA Goes Big in 2024 in Augusta and said it was well worth doing.Day 2 of doing this series and we started at this end this morning. Weve been so lucky with the weather so far and today the weather has decided to crack up a bit. Quite a few of the caches were done under the umbrella's as we didn't bring our rain jackets.This was another clever hide that did not take us too long to do.

Found it. TFTC pood. Teamed up with Ullyssia and papillion367 for the WAGB weekend. Happy to make a find here. The log was signed as "PUPP" (papillion367, ullyssia, and Photo-Play) Apologies for all the generic logs but most have a fav' with them. A lot of work and brain power went to this excellent series, thank you. Replaced as found.

Thank you for the fun cache and amazing series pood! Spotted a tiny orchid near GZ.Teamed up with ullyssia and Photo-Play during the WAGB24 long weekend in Augusta. We split off on Sunday, with ullyssia and myself boating up and down the Blackwood River with olthomas while Photo-Play focused on caches on land, including this series. After hearing how amazing the caches were, I thought that Id take a look before logging them since I had extra time in Augusta with the family - and the series definitely lived up to expectations! Only had time for 1/2 the caches today, will complete tomorrow . Logs signed as PUPP.

We packed our lunch and TOTTs for today was our day to hit this trail. We had heard favourable reports on it and decided to stay on in Augusta for that reason.All has gone quiet, as most geocachers have gone home, but we heard a vehicle and car doors behind us part way along the trail.All caches were in good condition and most found easily.Thankyou pood for all the effort you have put into this series. It kept us amused for several hoursTFTC SL TB's visited

Well its finally here WAGB 24! Looking forward to a great weekend of caching and meeting other cachers.Happy to have found your cache today.Thank you for placing for our entertainment.

Out and about wandering Augusta for WAGB. Grabbing a few more caches before making the journey back home.

We each took turns and Miss 7 (MiniSchriek) happily found it. Thats the smallest one Ive ever seen! Said Mr. 5 (LittleSchriek) Kids are having so much fun! Tftc

Today is day three of the WAGB weekend - Sunday. The day started with a sunrise event at the Old Town Jetty in Augusta , what a beautiful start to the day and certainly a fantastic location , it was a pleasant surprise to see that many people so early and it was actually quite mild. After collecting a nearby cache with twenty other geocachers we made our way to the Bakery to fill up before a full day of geocaching. We then headed out of town to the Holland Track series . We paired up again with the Pommie Parkins which made it a very enjoyable morning. Wow the range of caches, was fantastic , so much time, effort and imagination has been put into this series and we are very grateful to the Poods for organising and maintaining this series , we gave each one a favourite point . We actually bumped into Pood at one of the caches they had been on a maintenance run which was nice . There were also several other geocaching combinations along the way. The bush around here is very enjoyable and there are lots of wildflowers out and also lots of bird life everywhere. After collecting this series we set our minds on the nearby challenge caches and just the two of us headed there. We had qualified for 8 of the 11 and we only like to collect them once we have qualified so we collected eight and a traditional before making our way back into Augusta for more geocaching. We complete part of the Monopoly Series headed to the view and also had a nice walk at the end of the day to collect the Scooter Fun caches . Now just the CITO and the pub dinner event to go . All in all another wonderful day of geocaching .

Teamed up with Lyn, Pat and Nathan and also Paul and Deb from team fairwaydrivers. Having a fun day with plenty of laughs. TFTC pood

Awesome. Thanks for another great cache

We were half expecting a puzzle but it wasn't too hard. Just the cap was super tight so we had to work on it to open it up.We are also orchid spotting and educated by Ben.

Every hide was excellent, well themed and different with a few unexpected challenges thrown in here and there. Dished out a few favourite points in these parts.Most caches were found without too much trouble at all, apologies for the generic logs. Logbooks for the day were signed Fott&F or F&F (Fott & friends).pood I found your cache at 12:52pm, this was the 66th of 89 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 8939.

In Augusta for the WAGB 2024 celebrations. We are on the road again hunting down some more smilies. Thanks for this adding to our fun today.Great work, pood. They all deserve a BIG FAVE.

What a fantastic series - grandies would have loved it. Although we have seen most of these hides on our various travels with iluvtrekking, we reckon both Mr and Mrs pood have excelled in the manufacture and execution of their versions. Have to admit to gleefully feeling like kids again as we found each on the track. Thanks for a wonderful morning??

A nice quick find. We need to have a break for lunch as we're feeling tyred. TFTC and the series

Once again out with The Machman for our 11th WA Goes Big event. Left Perth early this morning and started cache hunting just South of Busselton. A good array of hides and excellent weather. Big thanks to the COs for hiding and maintaining them. TFTC

A nice quick stop which worked well since we were starting to run out of time. Thanks for the hide.

Getting Ready for an Awesome WAGB 2024 Event In Augusta.Please be aware, this is not a park and grab series, there are plenty of field puzzles here for you to enjoy.You will need a sense of fun and adventure, lots of patience, a touch of humour and a couple of hours on the track.We have just been down to add a few more caches to this Holland Track series and we have found the track is now a wet Winter 4x4 track, we would recomend Four Wheel Drive Vehicles only on this track during Winter and Early Spring. There is now a tree across the track, but there is a chicken track going around it. (Noted: 12th September, 2024)
