The Rapids Nanga Brook, Western Australia, Australia

There has been no movement on this one since August and the owner has not logged in since August. Can we get this archived so as to free up the location? Thanks. Andrew.

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us, and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

gotta watch these american dates, they sometimes give the wrong impression.

We will get back up in a couple of weeks to fix this cache up, and possibly find a safer location.

Thank you to all who have contacted us about this cache.

Cheers.

Drove by this one last week-end and didn't find it. As it has been a while and quite obviously gone, if the owner can't replace it, I suggest it should be archived to free up this spot for another cache.

As I seemed to be the last person to find this cache I went there today and found that someone had thrown all the rocks covering the cache all over the place and there definately was no cache there anymore.

I was going to use one of my containers but there is now not enough rocks to cover one so I ended up not replacing it.

Judging by the children playing around the area where the cache was any replacement would have to be further away from the car park and the walk trails around the old location.

Definately gone this one. Had a good half and hour look today. Suggest probably should be archived.

I had made up a replacement cache and found it where I left it.....on the shed bench at home after I came home from the weekend camping in the Lane Poole Reserve.

I would say this one is definately gone! Muggled most likely. The obvious spot was a scattering of loose rocks (which is rare around this area - most were well embedded in the ground) which would suggest the pile had been discovered.

Had Goosey with me as another set of eyes.

Sorry! But looks like a maintenance visit is on the cards.

Bibra Boys summed it up nicely

Despite having loaded several hundred caches into my PDA centred on Perth, they didn't extend quite far enough as this cache. However, my host had found the cache about a year previously and still had the waypoint in his GPS. After a look at the rapids, 6 of us searched for a wee while to no avail. Without the clue (which wouldn't have helped us much more!) we soon gave up. It's not too much of a disappointment to see that it appears to have gone missing, rather our faliure being due to our ineptitude. Continued on the tracks and had a lovely BBQ at a small unmarked campsite on the Biddi trail. Had our first taste off proper 4x4 driving (some of it a little scary) and saw our first (alive - the dead one at the side of the road on the way there didn't really count) kangaroos jumping along the road in front of us for about half a mile.

Couldn;t find this one The bearded one was most diasappointed, recons he'll go back another time and try again...it must be there somewhere. Found the rocks but couldn't find the cache.

I couldn’t find the cache. I assume it was stolen by muggles. So anyone can check up please.

Very nice spot and I enjoyed the area.
Found cache with no problems.

Found cache... no probs, very busy area - lots of 'MUGGLES'. GPS bouncing everywhere - but well worth the effort!!!

Nice find on a Sunday morning with some Geonewbs. Surprisingly close to the carpark.

Made sure that it was well covered again.

Easily found at 10am. Great area, loved the formation of the rocks, couldn't stop taking photos. Chris had a nice swim, and water was surprisingly warm. TNLN

This was found by team snork-a-lot
We were camping at the Naga Bush camp and walked from there to the rapids. the only problem was we were on the wrong side of the river. We got accross the river at the water spout (Baden Powel) from there is was a easy find.

The kids took a watch and spoons. Little Tom was overjoyed about the spoons becouse he collects them.

Since the weather was warming we decided to revisit one of our favorite Kayaking locations. We couldnt believe the cache could be so large and in such a heavy trafic area and still not have been mugged.

We really enjoyed the day swimming in the nearby water although it was somewhat colder than we are used to. Just a shame that smoke from the Perth bushfires stopped us from camping nearby.

Parked here earlier just a few metres away without GPS. Came back next day with GPS & had to park considerably further away but found without too much trouble. TNLN

Found it quite quickly after parked my vehicle in the front of cache. Had to wait until the muggles left. Nice place for a picnic by the water. Campground is not far from here and I was tempted to stay overnight to continue hunting next day but had commitments at home. Looking forward camping here next time. TN Left a calling card. Thanx for the hunt, MJKLZ.

Easy find in a lovely spot. Watched the water flowing for a while on a sunny spring day. Thanks MJKLZ T:N L: 3 souvenir spoons and a Thai coin

Hey I Found it. It was so much easier when I used the right coords

Struggled with this one. It was pouring with rain and the best accuracy I get out of the GPSr was 20mtrs. Don't know if it was the dense cloud cover, tree cover or a prob with the receiver but gave it away. Will have another go in a couple of weeks

12:35. As they say....easy cache. The rapids were flowing the muggles await..the little cache is hidding while the large group of cache finders encircle the area. This time the group limited the contents taking to the hand cream placed by TLC and we did put in the Juction box which was originaly taken from one of Alans caches in the Avon valley. The foam is interesting and of course a photo was taken to show you all.

Third cache for the day and this one really lives up to it's name. Lots of 'muggles' around so we had to time the attack down to the second
Nice large container with some good swaps.
Took - M & M stuffed toy
Left - Body Lotion and C.C.
Thanx for the hunt MJKLZ

This was found easily, about 25 mtrs from where I parked the 'Roo. The Rapids were full of foam from the water gushing through.T: calculator, L: 2 soft toys. Thanks to MJKLZ for the hunt and the cache.

Another easy find for this area , but a very nice spot.

Thanks for the cache

We were up here for our annual Redfin fishing competition, turned on the gps to start off for the day and found the cache site was 300 metres from our camp A couple of friends were interested to see what Geocaching is about, so we went for a stroll down the river and found the cache fairly quickly. Wish we could have got some fish to weigh in as quick
The cache had lots of nice goodys in it.
We took the Swiss Army Knife
We left a new torch and batteries in case anyone is up here in the dark
Signed the log
Thanks for the hunt!
