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 (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

It appears that the cache has been lifted. We will replace it next time we are in Norseman

We are sure we found where the cache should have been and have a photo if required to verify that the cache is missing. Nevertheless it was well worth the trip up to capture the view - no problems towing the van up either

Looks like this one needs to be replaced or archived

Looks like this one has been muggled. no luck

Definitely found the right spot. Spent heaps of time searching - no luck. Cache not found by 3 different GCs, so must have been robbed.

was at the right spot but no find unfortunately. still a very nice place

I'm sure I had the right spot but couldn't find it dug a fair bit round the tree but no luck
Thanks anyway great view

Great location but that crazy Karen (behind my GPS screen) insisted I go through the minesite. I tried a couple of alternative routes before getting up the hill. Nice cache, well looked after and a great bush walk to start the day.

Took - Everlasting Spin GC
Took - Garmin Visit UK, Big Ben GC

Great views especially the "ancient ruins" similar to the Maya people nearby. Path is a bit slippery with the little marble rocks all over the place. TFTC Cheers. Lead 'n Lace

Dropped off a geocoin while we were here doing maintenance to our cache a couple of weeks ago

Returned to replace the old cache container with a small ammo tin

Dropped by to replace the container and add an additional log bog and to drop off a couple of geo coins. The view from here is still great

Mr Morris really enjoyed the drive up to this one and viewing the mine workings. That is some tailings heap - it looks like they are building a pyramid. Took geocoin. TFTC

Logging GC through

Great views from here, and a short walk for an easy find. Took nothing, left Icelandic Flag coin.
Thanks for bringing us here, we wouldn't have come here otherwise.

An easy quick find on a cold, wet & windy day in Norseman. Making our way from Esperance to Kalgoorlie. We managed to squeeze our log entry onto the very last available space on the back cover of the log book, a new one is needed. TNLN SL Sly& Zed

Found and signed on our way to Darwin via Kalgoorlie. Thanks.

A quick detour after our lunch stop, great views geo wife loved the walk back UP to the parking spot

My first find and i did enjoy it. Let Travel Ingot.

A hill! Good to be able to get up and look out. The container is showing signs of wear and the log book is full. Sorry I didn't have one to replace it. TFTC.

A welcome place for lunch before heading east to the Nullabor

A lovely view was had too

Nice place for morning tea, great views.

Removed Heaven Bank Note

Replaced with RGCQZE Red Travel Bug

Needs a new note book.

We enjoyed the walk up the hill and the views from the top. Found the cache without any problem. Thanks Westy Clan

Found it just before dark enjoyed the great views. We seemed to get interference from the towers on top of the hill. Once we walked away the gps functioned properly. Pop and the little ones of the clan brought the cache back to the car to show Nanny. Pop needs to get fitter for the uphill climbs.

A fascinatng set of views from a location I would never have visited had it not been for the cache. A good lunch spot. TNLN. Many thanks for the cache and the views.

Tried to get here via a mine haul road - not to be reckomended. So much for in-car navigators.

Found @9:29:37 AM (Cachemate time)

An interesting drive through the gold mine to reach the site. There are wonderful views to be had from here. I'm pretty sure that the nearby electronic devices were interfering with the GPSR as the compass needle was wavering erratically, but the closer to GZ we went - the more accurate it became.

Good views, cache wet, tried to dry. TNLN, thanks for bringing us to this lookout.

We where over in Esperance for a work trip and took the oportunity to collect some more caches in this very lovely part of the world. But we got a bit off track and ended up here! Ideal spot for a cache, with the views, and the history!

It's amazing that they still allow tourists to drive through this mine to the loookout.....thankfully we were able to do so and reach the cache.

Thanks for the detour off the main road through town and the chance to check out this area from a different perspective.

Stoped for lunch, despite the wind and flies. Great lookout and history.

Plenty of bus loads of muggles arriving at the top of the hill fortunately they never venture to far fro the buses. Found the cache without being disturbed.

Found by Mary & David at 1440. Feel as though we're back in civilisation again after leaving Ceduna yesterday morning. David had done the journey 40 years ago, but it was the first time for Mary. A stunning landscape and interesting vegetation. Found the horse and it's story; now to go and photograph those camel sculptures. TNLN, but collected the Feng Shui Compass Geocoin to travel with us for a while. Our thanks to Westy Clan.

History, a view and a walking track - A geocache is a must here, and now it has been Lead-lined.

What a great view a rainbow came out for show but no rain though. No GC in cache when we got there. Fancy a horse finding a peice of gold what clever things they are.TNLN TFTH TTFN

This Hill gives a totally new outlook on Norseman and its hinterland. Beautiful - particularly this time of year with so much water around. Left GC as couldn't help it on its way. TNLN Thanks for the hunt Westy Clan

There are great views from up here of the better side of Norseman.

I have dropped the Feng Shui Compass Geocoin here, so would some one please take it with them across to SA to continue its journey around Australia.

Took: Nothing

Left: Feng Shui Compass Geocoin and IPOD USB lead.

Found this one on our trip through Australia. Nice place with nice view and interesting facts!

No Trade.

Thanks for the cache and greetings from the Netherlands

Just drove over from the "Cruzin #4" cache. Glad to see bitumen again! Nice little walk track and good views all around from up here. Nice and breezy and cool when I was there. Found cache easily at 6:10pm. On my way to Victoria then up to Queensland. TN-LN-SL. Thanks for the hunt Westy Clan.

Stopped off on our way home to Perth. Plenty of water around after the recent rains. TNLN TFTC

Called in on the way back from refurbishing Koonalda Wrecks. This is a good spot.
SLTNLN Thanks Westy Clan

Found on the way back to Perth with Belken.

Thanks for the cache.

great views tnlnsl cheers

Found it easily after settling into the local carvan park. Having left my cache bag at said park, we left nothing but did grab Cousin Jack to move him along on his ventures. Thanks for views. Cache is in good condition.

Found with Dad on our Kalgoorlie road trip. TNLNSL. Thanks for the hunt.

With Cousin Jack TB onboard and this being a mining town and all, we could not miss the opportunity to drop off the little miner (as he had wished). Good luck to him. Thanks Westy Clan. TNLN.

Nice easy find & a lunch break. TNLN TFC

Thanks for the hunt...

A great view for my last WA cache as I head back to SA after a very brief visit.
Have seen lots of great places thanks to the WA cachers that I would never have noticed otherwise (like this one!)
Cheers, TFTC Westy's

Great view all around Norseman. Thanks Westy clan.
Took: Shower gel

Located with Tastyworm - See below

Found this cache as part of Suitman, Tasty and my drive from Melbourne to Perth.

This cache is located on a beautiful hill overlooking where we had just driven, and over the Norseman Gold Mining Facility. Found the cache very easily. I left a Flashlight and took the water gun. Suitman TNLN.

Great 360 degree views. Thanks for bringing all of us up here. Left ear plugs and took toy car. Clear skies, Astro. Nice view in the crisp morning air.

11:20am Cold windy 10c. After overnighting in Norseman we went cache hunting. It seems we have been just getting to these caches before another team. The cache is placed in a great hidey hole and there are magnificant views from both the top of the hill and the cache location.
We took the snakes and ladder game and added a Koala in a zip lock bag (to keep it dry and clean) and a piece of velcro we found someplace else.

Found the right road in, just on sunset with a great view. Last one for the day, overnight in Norseman.
Took Muppet, Left water pistol.

Found this one eventually, I guess I parked to far away (1.3km) the walk did me good after all the driving I had done latly though.

TNLN

Cheers

Almost a FTF! - after 5 months of being lonely this cache gets 3 logs in 2 days...! We missed out on locating the Phoenix Park cache - but glad to bag this one. (Although one young Wally wished he had of put his shoes on!)
Back home to Kal after spending Easter on the coast. Great views, thanks Westy's!
Took the Compass and left minature Snakes and Ladders game

We arrived at the top of the hill at 6.30 am. The sun was rising and the view from up here is spectacular.

Norseman has been one of them ho hum towns that you pass through. I have crossed the plain over 20 times and have never bothered to find anything about Norseman.

Thanks to the Westy clan for bringing me up here. The history plaques are a good read and did I mention the view.

Took the torch Keyring Left a Carabiner/compass keyring.

Well worth the stop.

Rated: for Overall Experience

In company with Belken. Found Ok. View was good.

Thanks
