Mangrove Madness Exmouth, Western Australia, Australia

Gone

No luck with us either.

It was a bright and windy day with no-one else around, so we were able to have a good look. Got down on our hands and knees to crawl but we still didn't find it. Either too good for us or not there.

Checked this one out thoroughly and there is no sign of it.

Might be time to either do a maintenance run on all of these caches and either replace or archive this one.

Had the whole place to ourselves so was able to have a good look. Guess this one is missing or too good for us. Thanks.

Only us around, nice bright day and we could not find the cache. Checked all the obvious locations where it could have been and no joy.....

TFTC. Took springy head, left chinese token.
Cape Range National Park with all it’s amazing swimming and snorkelling spots is such a beautiful place.
Thanks Team Red Roo for a great series of caches.

Thanks for showing me this spot. Never knew it existed

Great spot to watch the wildlife. TFTC.

nice one

Quick find at a nice spot.

Exmouth again was my favorite place to be in the north west. This time we took some time for some caches. TFTC!

HI, tftc - that was defenitly a spot we had missed without the cache and the birds are worth to show up - nice area in this sandy surrounding- traveller999 from GER

tftc - found it together with traveller999 on our way home to Germany - faselmatz

A nice easy find, spent some time watching the birds afterwards. TFTC

Log book full and container lid cracked, Sorry i didnt have anything with me to repair

Not too many birds around today. A quick find, i didn't notice the other twitchers in the hide whle i was retrieving the cache, just as well they were busy looking the other way.

Decided we aren't keen birdwatchers! TFTC

Found the bird hide, but not the cache. Being new to the geocaching game perhaps we missed something more obvious to the experienced! Great spot to spend some time though.

Saw a huge osprey and a huge goanna crossed the road in front of us.

TFTH

We thought this may be a high muggle area but we were the only ones there which enabled an easy search and a quick find. There were very few birds present but we could see how the area would be a haven for birds at the right time of the day. TFTC Team Red Roo

Nice cache sadly without so much birds... found on our way to Darwin. greetings from germany

TFTC #938

Found during a trip from Sydney across the Red Centre to the WA coast. Spent a few days in area looking around. TNLN

Found it on a nice day in my holidays
(I hope the date is right, i'm not sure)

Visited at about 3 pm. No birds but a nice spot. TFHC.

Quite a stunning outlook from the bird hide, and plenty of birds while we were there. TFTC

Cool bird hide. We had a bit of a look at the birds but there were some really keen birdwatchers there and we didn't really want to disturb them. Managed to find and replace the cache quickly and without being seen. Picked up Shark TB. TFTC

Great one! Thanks for motivating an early morning bird watch.

The bird hide was bird-less... These places are usually better at sun-rise/set. From the information signs, plenty of the birds are migratory so that also limits sightings...

This cache is worth the visit just for the bay, a few metres in the direction away from the cache... Calm, peaceful, beautiful water -- absolutely beautiful !

Found at 9.55am GAFF1. On our way out of the Cape Range Park after staying in the area for 4 days. It became a little too windy especially at night, so we decided to move on and this was the last cache that we could do on this peninsula.
We were astounded at the number of birds that we should have been able to see - but we only saw 2 or 3 of those varieties.
Thanks Wayne and Kathryn.

Left pink sharpener took crab claw. TFTC

No birds, lots of mozzies - TFTC

Great spot but a little busy on the day we were there.
TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Nice place!

Hello, after a long way from home i found this wonderfull Place with this fine cache and i deposited my first travel bug. I hope it will have a nice turn.
Thank You for the Cache

15:55
On the way to the cache we saw a lot of kangaroos. Also some birds. The cache we found soon.
Thanks for hiding.

Wow! What a fabulous bird watching place which we wouldn't have discovered without you bringing us there! We enjoyed the peaceful and quietness of the place. We saw one raptor but couldn't identify it as it was a little too far away! We also enjoyed finding the cache and putting in some bits and peices! TFTC!

Thanks for this cache. We would not have visited the bird hide otherwise.

Found on a day of Geocaching with ExploringOZ

Wow great spot for birdwatching and quick lunch. TFTH TNLN SL.

On my trip with my mum sissifalke we drove from Darwin, to Broome to Port Hedland, through Carnavon, to Exmouth, to Monkey Mia, to Geraldton, to Hyden, to Bunbury and finally we went through Freemantle on our way to Perth.
We also stopped at this cache..

Thanks and best greetings from Sydney

Wouldn't have even wandered down this path if it wasn't for the cache! And here I was thinking that the national park was all about the beaches!! Silly me, but I guess that's why I love caching, I get so see all the different places

Nice easy find. Great location. Thanks.

Nice bird watching spot. TFTC

We had a nice time sitting in the blind, but saw only a few Egrets and Herons. It's a beautiful place.

TFTC, John Drake

Day nine and the 36th find for K-Maximus and myself on our 5512km / 12 day whirlwind tour of the north west that we shall call the North West Wander Geoquest.

Nice easy find.

TNLN Kids loved watching the birds.

Only a lonely heron about, but maybe more next time
TNLN TFTC

good hide great place

found after a bit of a search, dropped of TB to watch the birds for a while...

TFTH

Great birding spot! Got some pics of your strange birds that we don't have here in the USA. TFTH.
we picked up TB# 6NHB9Z that will be placed here in Arkansas, USA soon.

This was a quick find while muggles were watching the birds.

TFTC

Forgot to log TB into this cache.

Had to be very sneeky, quite a few muggles around. Took the cache back to the car and then replaced without being sprung, by a whisker!! SL TNLN TFTC

A nice hide - excuse the pun - found reasonably easy but rather a larger cache than expected. Many muggles around again so did a quick grab went to the bird hide signed the log and replaced without getting caught out phew!!
Walked down to the beach but we were attacked by many sandflies so took a hasty retreat.

would of missed this great location if not for the cache, thanks.

Easy find. Not many birds about in the heat of the day but checked out the hide anyway. Thanks.

no muggles - but 100000000 mosquitos
TFTC and Greetings from Switzerland - Chris (without Jo, Michi + Nastja, who flew into the Motorhome)

Good hide. My friend found it, it was his first ever find. It was so hot today all the birds were sheltering out of sight
TN left badge.

Mangrove and mosquito madness. Sunset is not a goot time for this one.

Found it ok though was looking for something a bit smaller and unbelievably must have overlooked it several times before Tim spotted it right where I was looking!!!!!! Great hiding place though

Took it to the hide to sign the log whilst watching for some interesting birds. Had the whole place to ourselves ... not a muggle in sight!

Took beach bum TB and will help it on its way as soon as we can after our return home next week to the opposite side of the planet in the UK! Not sure our beaches are quite up to the beautiful WA ones though ... it might have to find its way back again!

TFTC

Ali and Tim

Never knew this was here...fantastic spot. Neither of us are bird watchers but this hide was really good. Left Beach Bum TB to carry on its travels. Thanks for placing a cache here.

Nice spot to watch the pelicans and other birds.

THX, The Pirates

wow, what a view... thanks so much, we would have missed this nice place, if there wouldnt have been this cache...

many greets from berlin/germany

When we arrived at GZ and started to search around, a woman walking towards the floorboard, smoking and watching us kneeling but we pretended to look for an animal. She just stood and took ages to finish her fag! We had to go to the bird watch hut and looked at the bird, waiting for the husband and wife to leave. Finally they left and it took a while before we found the cache. Took a TB no swaps. Thanks Wayne and Kathryn for the cache and hunt.

Easily found on the obvious place. Dropped Frogman, who looks a bit blurry because of the water on his glasses.

Very clever hiding place, well done you!!
No muggles around so plenty of time to look.

Thanks

Loved the bird hide.

Thanks for the Cache Wayne & Kathryn

Geocaching, it works really arround the world mate!

In two month in a bushcamper from the tropic north of Darwin down to freezing Perth.
I like bulldust and corrugations, 4WD driving, serious rivercrossings and bush camps off the beaten track.

Australia is really a great country and people are so nice (OK, sometimes hard to understand )

Aussies keep it that way!

Thank you for the Cache.

Stopped in here for an easy find on our way to Exmouth for water and supplies. TNLN. Thanks Wayne & Kathryn.

A quick find, not to many birds as it was a bit windy.

A nice area to explore. Found the cache without any problem. TNLN. thanks Team Red Roo

Quick find. Also found a Nine Inch Nails CD inside, which was great because we haven't had any music the whole trip. TFTC.

we sat at the lovely bird hide and admired the view and comforts as we logged the cache. we thought how peaceful it is here...but it does kinda sound like there's an aircon unit running full tilt behind us. tftc. t:candle l:mr men pack

Found cache without too much trouble. Nice area and, as suggested, spent some time watching the bird life. TNLF. John and Helen

Glad we bought binoculars on our trip. Theres just something about mangroves.. they're awesome. Another one for mum...Kids loved this place TFTC

We saw: Nankeen kestrel, white bellied sea eagles, sandlings, stilts and zebra finches.

TFTC

Had to have a good pair of binoculars to spot the birds, but we did see herons, egrets and bower birds & a lone sandpiper. There was a Kestrel hanging around the coast near the car park too. Easy find TFTH.

Nice spot, but no birds.
