We went today to do the whereigo and had a crack at this at the same time as Granett had posted the original photos. Unfortunately, the gravestone for 'Joseph' is very worn and it is hard to read the required info. The accompanying plaque provides the required info via the QR code but it is one day out, which is perhaps why we couldn't get a tick on the geochecker. A copy of the gravestone in better times was found later online showing the info required and then the geochecker said yes. However, the final is 37km away, up in the bush in the hills, and previous logs show that bush bashing and steep treks are involved, with the last find in March 2021. Obviously a trek for another day and in cooler weather. It is an interesting multi which nicely links the two tombstones.
##Cache Maintenance Required please.##This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs. The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance). If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on. When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided. If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Thank youBalayangCommunity Reviewer -Australia
Be sad to see this one die a slow death, a rare D/T and coming up on 20 years old. Posting the original pics in the hope of prolonging it's life.
Disappointed to see that in a year and a half nothing has been done about this caches link being broken. Wondering how many people have looked at it and not reported.
The image links no longer work and there doesnt appear to be any other way to solve. Needs some CO attention.
The links to the images for this cache seem to be broken, rendering the cache unsolvable. Could you please have a look? Thanks.
Was going to do this today and as pictures don't appear and won't load when I tap on them, will have to give this one up unfortunately
Decided to head out to Canning Mills to finally make the trek out to the Jailbreak multi that’s been on our radar for ages and we’ve actually been close enough a few times but never wanted to make the trek down here.
We loaded the bikes onto the back of the car and made the journey down and parked up in the shade. We took a side path and found grizzly first before turning our attention to the jailbreak multi abandoning the bikes on the path to make the 150m walk into the cache to find the ammo can complete with original logbook from 17years ago. We finished the multi and went back to the bikes to continue back towards the car with a brief stop off at drop bear nest which we managed to snag relatively quickly.
Thanks for a fun morning on the bikes. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Thanks TEAM LANDCRUISER for placing and maintaining this cache. Out and about with Barnzy12 getting a few smily faces.
Like many others this was a multi done over a few months with the initial stages sorted and then the realisation that gz was more than a stroll away..great day for a stroll in the hills..abundant wildflowers and apart from the 2 motocross riders all was quiet..as it had been over a year since a find had been logged I was a little concerned but it was there as stated in the open..cache and log all in excellent condition..I love an amo container..fav for me for it's blend of australian rock and bushranger history and the pleasant stroll in the bush..big thanks for geoc and soundongirl for the company
Like others we collected the coords over a year ago & were surprised at how far away the final was. Now it is one of the last ' Hidden Months' we need to fill a grid & so it has moved up the priority list. We decided to tackle it on bikes & it was a reasonable pedal up to the last 120m where we abandoned the deadly treddlies and walked through light bush to find our reward which is in good condition. TFTC have a favourite for the experience
Months ago I wandered through the cemetery with my umbrella in the pouring rain and soon had the numbers. I was surprised to see GZ where it was. The months passed and I finally had the opportunity to head out to GZ. Nice walk and easy find. Cache is all good here. TFTC and effort needed.
Came down to feel for the info over a year ago and decided that was long enough. Weather looked good do finished work at 11,picked up the gripping who was desperate for a long walk and headed for the hills. Know we missed the right turnoff so instead of 4 k walk, we reckon we doubled that. Had to bush bash the last 300 m. What a trip but the bush was beautiful. Tftc and the chance to head up here.
After obtaining the coords the day before (had no idea Moondyne Joe has a celebrity grave here as well), headed out towards GZ to try and make the find before the info was misplaced. Had grabbed another cache in the area before deciding to head directly to this one. One day I will learn that this is almost always a mistake. Ended up upping the terrain rating somewhat, clambering down a massive hill through the undergrowth in my shorts, but it all became part of the adventure. Adding a favourite point, TFTC TEAM LANDCRUISER.
rhyddid. Spot and Patch visited the cache this afternoon and found it in the open and in good order. We left it as found. Thanks for setting this well-constructed "multi" and the maintaining the cache TEAM LANDCRUISER.
Made it down to Freo today and acquired the correct information to get the all clear from the geochecker. Decided the hike to the bush was going to have to wait for a better time. Very interesting though.
Had a go at this one just over a year ago and as it fills a rare spot on my Jasmer grid I was always going to be back. Today the planets aligned and was able to make another attempt albeit on a rather warm day.
After trekking for about half an hour I realised I had taken the wrong track not wanting to turn back I pressed on. Eventually found myself about 400 meters north of GZ and bushbashed it down and up again, I would not recommend this approach, the terrain was pretty difficult in the valley.
Nevertheless I made it out into a clearing and was soon approaching GZ where I spotted the nice sized ammo can on approach. Had a bit of a break and headed back to the car, along the right track. Awarding a favourite for a great multi and for filling a spot on my calendar.
TEAM LANDCRUISER I found your cache at 11:22am, this was the 1st of 9 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3861. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Solved the stages on our last day in Australia and so there was no time to head for the final. May be next time. TFTC anyway! Liane and Thomas (Germany)!
Like many others I had been sitting on the corrected coords for this one for quite some time . I decided to head out this morning to collect the smiley and as an added bonus this also was needed for my Jasmer grid . Fave point from me [^]
A nice hide here and thankfully we had no trouble adding our name to the log book. TFTC .
TEAM LANDCRUISER - jinta29 found your cache Jailbreak on 1/01/2017, 7:54 AM. This is my find #6161 and find #2 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Today in the morning we had 2 or 3 hours for a stroll through this part of Fremantle. The Jailbreak multi cache seemed to be a good choice for learning something about the history of this place. At the end of our mini tour through the cemetry we came along a BIG surprise - thanks for showing!!! This final was unfortunately out of our activity radius but maybe we can visit it sometime later...
Longest time multi to complete! Years actually. Enjoyed the first stage and sent the motorcyclist in the clan off to find the final. But he returned empty handed and said it was a job for the mountain bike. And indeed it was on the first sunny Sunday we have had in ages. Involved some water crossings and mud but a splendid ride. TFTC.
Inspired by the Geosportz game on GCA to find a cache that involves a 1500m walk, I started browsing the map & found this cache begging to be found... Like others, had visited WP1 around 3 years ago but never made it to the final [^]. With the recent addition of a checker I was surprised to see that my calculations were not successful so I set about googling the answers... Thanks to the help of the CO I have now found out that Wikipedia will not give you the correct answer
Although the weather was not the best for a walk, DangerMouse09 & I headed off with the umbrella just in case but glimpses of sunlight started to show & a great walk was had... After finding the nearby traditional we continued along the track to this one . We walked until the GPS told us to go off track & had a easy walk through the bush due to the burn off from earlier on in the year... From a distance DM09 spotted the prize, which he was most happy about! Not sure just how the container has survived, but apart from the melted baggy/logbook all appears to be ok (including the seal).
Thanks TLC... So glad we have finally made it out here! It's a great walk... Would have loved to continued on to the dam, but that will have to wait for another day Cheers!!!

Visited waypoints last month, interesting. Today had time to hit the hills, heavy rain no obstacle. Smoke around after recent prescribed burn, which has melted log book cover etc. TFTC
Decided to head out to find the cache today in the pouring rain, why not there was nothing else to do. I had found the first part of the multi many years ago but for reasons unknown I just kept putting off the final step. The cache was incredibly easy to find. In fact the area looks nothing like the spoiler photos because of a prescribed burn in the area in the last couple of days. Some of the trees could be seen smoldering and burning even in the rain. Fortunately the cache has survived with only a little heat damage. The log book has a slightly singed look and was located in the shrink wrap plastic bag. Lazarus_68 may post an image of the cache. Thanks Team Landcruiser for the cache.
It wasn't our intention to make the final cache difficult and I appologise to those who posted DNF's. We revisited today after 11 years and a lot has changed, the road in to the cache Douglas road has been closed, the tree cover at GZ is much thicker and the surrounding bush has exploded since the fire.
We've relocated the cache after avaraging waypoints for over an hour.
The cache is now out in the open and much easier to find.
The spoiler photo should help once at GZ.
We have also added a Geochecker which with the correct result will give you the new parking area and a waypoint around the washed out bridge.
Cheers TLC

This cache up in conversation while on a geo-camping trip a few weeks ago and it piqued my interest so I put it on the to-do list. Did the hard work of coming up with some coordinates and today I was able to see if could track down the final.
My time was limited but I was still able to search for about twenty minutes all to no avail unfortunately. I tried adjusting the co-ords as suggested in a couple of previous logs but had to leave empty handed.
I might be back one day for another crack.
TEAM LANDCRUISER I couldn't find your cache, this was my 1st DNF for the day. I did have 3 finds today so all is not lost.

I wonder if we have a record for the longest stretch of time between visiting the initial w/p's and completing the quest with a find? This has been on our 'to do list' since 2008 when we first visited the Freo Cemetery to get the information needed to calculate the final. Last year we did get to the parking area but it was such a hot day and we weren't up for the very long walk. Today was perfect caching weather and we also came prepared with bikes to get us up the hill quicker. Had to extend our search and found the well hidden container around 16 mts from where our gps wanted us to be. Thanks Team Landcruiser.
Attempted this one during a work trip to the Perth/Fremantle region.
I was caching nearby and thought I'd do the Cemetery Cache as they can be quite interesting. Found Tombstone 1 no probs. Was approaching Tombstone 2 when I notices a bunch of "under the weather" guys hanging around. I then got offered a warm beer ?? I thought this very strange until I got to 2 and read who it was. And the date was rather a coincidence as well !
So I calculated GZ - went What The...? - and decided to try GZ another day/trip.
Thanks TEAM LANDCRUISER - I'll be back !!

After calculating the GZ coordinates on Saturday, I had to drive past these on the way back from Wave Rock today. After hiking in and completing a thorough search, I came up empty. The walk was lovely, perhaps another day. TFTC.
Wow. This cache has been here 9 years and has only 42 finds logged. I'm very pleased to make that 43. I visited the cemetery about 18 months ago and worked out the coordinates and have had the cache on my to-do list ever since ... nearly made it here in March this year, but took too long at another cache ...
I did a couple of other caches in the area on the way here and made a wrong assumption at one of them, which led me to back-track, thereby extending the hike by about 1.5 km more than was necessary ... I did consider doing a 900 metre bush bash rather than back-tracking, but glad I made the correct decision.
It took a while for me to locate the cache on arrival at GZ ... checked some previous logs and widened the search area a bit and soon had the cache in hand.
Everything about doing this cache was enjoyable ... great to visit the graves of those well known people, and a nice little hike on a warm December afternoon, saw some roos and an emu ... enjoyed the shadows in the bush ... a fav from me for the overall experience.
Signed the log. Dropped in a path-tag. Thanks for the hide TEAM LANDCRUISER

After tiptoeing through the tulips nearby we came to find this one. We got the original info back in 2010 when we were new at all this. Came to try it once and were put off by a long walk in the heat. Today it was lovely even though there was a bit of rain about. Lots of wildflowers including orchids. Coords not spot on, but still in the search area. TFTC
Did the first section of the multi with Eco&Rev Brooke. Found out it was k's away so we decided to give it a miss. Brooke and myself decided we would give it a go and try and find the actual cache while it was raining. In the end we didn't not find it.
Found after a really long walk in warm conditions because all tracks are closed off everywhere these days. Nice area to visit though. This was a nice, fun multi but the final coords being so far away from the puzzle area is a bit odd. Took TB, dropped animals. TFTC.
This cache was weird! Our GPS was treating us like poo. It was playing up on us and we just couldn't do it anymore. Maybe it was the electrical wiring was messing it up! But thanks anyway!
Went at Night - lots of fun, spotted fellow geocachers doing same thing!!! Found the tombstone.
Solved the coordinates just need time to find the cache. Hopefully will do it over the next week.
Found the co-ordinates to the cache but unfortunately we are leaving Oz tomorrow and unable to complete. What an excuse to return to Perth!
Decided to meet up with Tanzanite! in Freo and take our bikes for a spin today
so we now have the information to go find the cache next time we are in the area.

WOOP WOOP found jailbreak for our 100th cache. Great location, was great for the american half of inez who got to see his first sighting of kangaroos in the wild. still in great shape and well, thanks heaps
Found with Yonnie 33 @ 10.10am. Pleasant 4k walk round trip to an easy find. took clamp left key ring
An easy walk up the gravel road through the wild flowers with Avreno. Did not see any Kangaroos, but lots of friendly bush flies.
Cache is in good order. It was an enjoyable morning - TFTC

A long from start to finish for this one. Found ourselves in the right area today and got ourselves to gz. TNLN. Thanks TEAM LANDCRUISER
I don't know how long I have had the final coords for this, but I finally managed to finish it off today. Enjoyed a lovely walk in to the final GZ, and I agree with the other finders, the E coord should be 8 less. It's an obvious hide, and always nice to find a big ammo tin out in the bush.
Thanks for a great multi, also enjoyed the start, visiting the significant graves.

I've tried to avoid from doing the multicache and especially this cache. But at the end i decided to go for it and as a reward i found it. TFTC
This is a packed lunch cache. Did the first part on Saturday and then finished it today. Lovely walk on a cool Sunday morning. Thanks to El Cacholoco whose correction to the coordinates appeared spot on.
Thanks for the cache and for forcing me to learn a little local history.
Thanks for the cache and for forcing me to learn a little local history.
At last, we can log a find.
We searched for the best part of an hour without finding the cache and resorted to phoning a friend. We completed part one over 18months ago, we had no paperwork or information with us and had no intention of logging a DNF. It seems the final coords are off by about 10-15 mts.
A good multi but we were left a little confused. What is the connection between part one and part two of this cache? Maybe there is no connection, never mind, we had lots of fun both collecting the information and walking to the cache in perfect bush walking weather.
Thanx to TLC for the cache and to AusTrackers for the help.

Well after two weekends and probably a total of at least 10kms walked in the rain we found it! It was almost a sweet victory but I was too cold to tell. We warmed up a bit after at AlliedOz/the Jokers house and by the time we got home we were thawed again. A great walk but I've never heard of GZ being so far away from the beginning before.
We finally had a chance to finish this multi going back for the final. We parked in a different location which brought the distance down to about 1.6 km. After taking one wrong turn down a path that brought us back to the highway, we got rained on and a bit soaked.
Finally, we made it to the area and had to expand our search since the final coords seemed a bit off. I would say the S coord was okay but the E should be 8 less.

we've started this one and almost finished it. we took the wrong track in and ran out of daylight and dry clothes but we had a boo at the reservoir instead. We'll be back and hopefully park in the right place next time. It might be a good idea to post parking coordinates for this one for people like me who have yet to find decent maps of tracks in the hills. And just wondering why this is a multi and not a puzzle?
I'd solved the first part of the cache some time ago but I hadn't had a chance to follow up on it. Quite a trek in. I actually stumbled across the cache before I started looking for it as I made the coords to be about 20m out. TNLN. TFTH.
Sadly none of us found it. Double checked our target and all OK but not found. Thanks anyway as it was a great walk
I love walking around cemeteries for the peaceful spots they provide in amongst the city bustle. Solced this and was surprised at the 2nd location. Unfortunately this trip won't allow time to find the final cache.
At last! I have had these coords worked out for well over a year but never got the chance to check them out.
Today was the day, and a beautiful one to do the nearly 5km round trip, happily mostly level, to find the treasure. Many kangaroos seen happily hopping, and many jets flying overhead, otherwise a most peaceful outing. A bit concerned about leaving my car for so long after reading of other cachers cars getting broken into, particularly after seeing a pile of car window glass close to where I parked. But all was ok on my return.
TNLN Thanks for a most enjoyable hunt, TLC.

Re-visited this cache again with Mischief's Crew at 5:15pm. We enjoyed the long walk in, and Gavin & Jude even provided me with some entertainment when they both tripped over a stick on the track. Cache is still in good nick.
What a cool cache. We had so much fun doing this cache from start to finish. Really enjoyed the walk up to the final cache as well, even if I nearly got killed. It must have looked funny - Gav & I were walking up arm in arm when Gav tripped on a stick, but as he was trying to save himself and lift his foot, he brought the stick further up and totally tripped me on it. So I went flying getting twisted around being caught on the branch and Gav's arm and then the backpack pulling me the other way. It's OK I did survive though and it gave Mal (3BlindEyes) some amusement on the way.
Amber sure loved playing in the little creek we crossed. She thought it was great and was happy to log her Geo Dog coin through the cache (she came and got the clues with us as well!)
Thanks again for a really great cache, we loved it.

My first visit to a graveyard at night in the dark.
We kidnapped Mal of 3BlindEyes for a fun evening. It started beautifully with the fact I had won the Workplace Lunch on the radio and so we had all the left overs (roast pork & beef, roast veges and salad) to have ourselves a lovely little picnic by the river. By the time we finished it was nice and dark so off we went to the graveyard.
Mal asked us who we thought we were looking for - we said no idea and when we found the first guy I still didn't know who he was (we are Kiwis!), Gav did though. Then as we were heading to hunt down the second one Gav suddenly sprouts out this name and Mal just stared at him - as he was right! We cannot come up with a reason Gav would have known who it was, so we have decided the dead people told him.
Next up we will have to go and find the actual final spot. Thanks for a lot of fun already!

Re-visited this cache again with Mischief's Crew this evening. We had a great picnic by the river, then went off to find the 2 graves in the dark. Great fun! Gav surprised me by telling me the name of the 2nd grave we were looking for. Don't know how he knew that. We paid our respects by lighting the candles at the grave when we got there and it was really nice seeing them burning in the dark. Mischief's Crew had a lot of fun tonight, so thanks Team LandCruiser for a fun evening. Cheers! Mal
Had an enjoyable time in the cemetery collecting the necessary info (its always enjoyable spending time above ground in a cemetery). Now into the bush for a longer walk than we have done for the previous four caches today. Looked around for a while for the cache and found nothing, then looked up the previous logs on the PDA. Thanks 3BlindEyes for your entry last year. We quickly paced out the thirteen metres to the west and there it was! Took a finder's card. Thanks Team Landcruiser for a most interesting cache and a nice walk in the bush.
Having a drive around Freo today so decided to have a go at this one. What a great place to visit - the history of it all! Enjoyed the opportunity to check out these and other headstones. Have now done the research so will earmark this one for future reference when we are in the right area! Thanks for the chance to take in some of our history, Team Landcruiser.
Two years to do a cache! Is this a record? Have I finally excelled at a geocaching task? And towards the end as the car was running out of petrol, the GPS was running out of battery and the day was running out of sunlight I was starting to think it was going to take another two years before we got back here. Well, we did it. This would make a nice walking day with the two or three other bushland caches in the vicinity.
Approximately two years ago Ex nihill & I "cracked the code" to determine the coordinates whilst down in Perth visiting from Darwin (& after visiting (AC/DC) Bon Scott's Grave with a Travel Bug collected from a Cache in Darwin). Unfortunately we ran out of time before having the chance to visit the cache. Mission accomplished this time however but had to revisit the tombstones to determine the coordinates again. Quite a pleasant stroll at the end of a casual Sunday and locating the cache didn't prove to be too arduous.
Hooray!! Make it today. I had worked out the final co-ordinates to this cache on 2005 and finally got around to locating it today. It was an enjoyable walk/bike of 2 kms to get to GZ. Thanks for the cache Team LandCruiser.
We had worked out the final co-ordinates to this cache more than 4 months ago, and finally got around to locating it today. It was an enjoyable walk of 1.6kms to get to GZ. Lovely cool afternoon, and a great day for caching after the rain yesterday. Took us a while to find the cache as it is 13 metres West of the final co-ordinates, but Ursula eventually found it at 5:45pm. It seems a fire has been through this area, as the stump the cache is hidden in has been mostly burnt out. The ammo box is okay, although the plastic covers of the logbook are half melted! Took kids baking set, left $1.60 as it was all we had! We enjoyed a nice romantic walk back to the car in the gloom of a half moon. Thanks for the cache Team LandCruiser.
We were driving along Carrington street and saw this pop up on the screen. It turned out to be a fun puzzle cache to do, but we couldn't finish it as the pictures we needed to decode the final co-ordinates wont display on the PDA. We worked out the cache location at home later on. Had a good walk around the cemetary and was surprised at where the co-ordinates lead us to! I had always wanted to visit those 2 graves, just never got around to it. Thanks for an enjoyable walk TLC! We'll be back later to finish this one off.
Did this one in conjunction with Aushiker and Team Gunn Parker. I was the last one to locate it as it was out by about 20 metres. Took calculator left truck.
Called by with TeamGunnParker and AmbyAnt on our wander through the hills in search of caches and a damn good walk. We ended up doing 18 km today and catching up with Pat of LynPatandNathan. We got here from Cache a View. While here I dropped off CKayaks Geocoin #0248 and a mobile phone skin and took a blank CD. Cache is in good condition but the coordinates are about 10 metres out. Not a hard find but one should search a bit south of the predicted ground zero.
Found at last, after having the co-ords for months and having been out to search once before, I found it.
it took a little while to find as the container is about 20 mtrs west of where my gps said it should be, I have taken the co-ords of the new location but will not post them here, if you get stuck just contact me.
took looney tune toy and left a clamp.

I can remember that rock nobodyZ, I nearly did the same thing as I was too busy looking up at the birds as I was walking but my hiking pole hit it before my feet.
Have been sitting on the solution for 16 months I decided the other week to do this one when completing Salt/Pepper/Mustard but unfortunately I damaged my car(again) and had to head for home(quick!) before making my way here. Today no such problems. Pleasant walk but it was after dark when I arrived and the regrowth made things a little difficult, then I realised a keying error and had to move 20m uphill Then rain started sprinkling down. Anyway, I finally found it and headed back down the track, only to roll my left ankle on a rock in the middle of the track. I'd tweaked my right ankle on the walk in at a similar spot, surely it couldn't be the same rock.[?]
Did I enjoy this experience, hell yeah! It's all a part of the journey. TFTH

Work in progress. I like cemetery caches, so I was keen to log this one, but it was not to be tonight. When I arrived at the first grave I read the description, and realised that I needed the photos, and GSAK HTML files don't include them. Aaarrgghh! I found what I assumed was the correct grave for Ronald, but what to do next. I rang the TEAM LANDCRUISER help line, but they were unable to help at the time. I found Joseph's grave also, but couldn't proceed further. Later in the night, and six cache finds later, I rang Team Red Roo to see if they could assist. He could, but he was driving to work at the time. However, he did tell me that the cache was 25km away! At that point I decided to go back to my hotel and crack the code. I've done that now, and I have a set of coordinates that look likely. I'll have to plan a trip to the area. Thanks to TRR for the help.
Found it after took a while of searching with help from Varuna. TNLNSL. Thanks for a long walk and cache.
Came and grabbed White Jeep Travel Bug – this one has been on my list for a while. This is not only purpose I came for …. accompanying The Black Tiger and replacing the burnt tin with a new ammo box with some stock. Took us a while to find it since it has moved approx 13 metre away from the final coords.
In: new ammo tin, Kids’re’Cool’, blank CD, can holder, Mr Men doll, red jeep toy, and Spin Geocoin.
Out: burnt ammo tin, and White Jeep TB

I took the wrong track in so had to do a bit of bush walking. I walk up to GZ and have the ammo box with no cover to hide it. A fire has been through here since the last visitors and there were burnt & singed offerings when I opened the lid which are now in the bin at home.
The log book only had the plastic cover melted a bit and the pencil wasn't burnt. The other things I was able to leave were the finders cards & the visitor cards & a bird toy.
I tried to do a bit of panel beating to close the hole caused by warping but I only managed to get it a bit smaller so the log book is in a new zip-lock bag. The ammo tin's rubber seal is no good now as well.
SL T:the burnt offerings L:keyring, sunglass holder, sticky toy.

The can needs replacing and I didn't have a stash note to put in. I replaced the can where I found it and covered it with wood.
While I was out this way thought I would finish this cache off. However, short of time and not really knowing how to get to it I simply followed the GPSr arrow (no fancy GPSr mapping here). The closest I got was 1.75km just off Canning Road. Too far to walk!
Will email owners and ask for directions.

Did the first part of this with geodad to "train" him on a GPSr I was handing over. Didnt realise WP3 was so far from here! Dont venture east that often but next time we do...I will check it out.
Didnt know person one was buried there and always wanted to know where person two was...being a you know who fan.

After doing the first part some months ago it was time that this cache was completed.
Parked at the end of the wrong track so we didn't get to go straight in and walked a bit farther than necessary and got the feet wet crossing the stream nearby but found it OK after a small search.
Thanks for the cache.

Woot 50 caches found.
Finally got around to doing this one after completing the first part months ago and saw that TB Delta had been stuck there since that time

After completing the first part of this cache last weekend, we decided to head out and finish it off today. The cache was easy to locate, with the coordinates being spot on. T:a pencil set and a cache card, L: stubbie/can holder and TB Cache Warrior 4, SL. Thanks to TLC for a great cache with a difference.
Found cache... great multi, 10 out of 10!!! Excellent location, lots of wildlife, too.
Took mirror toy - left party forks, yoyo and our calling card. 160 caches, now completed!!! Thanks. 11:45

Started this one 28th March, gaining all the info we needed and were surprised to find that the co-ords were leading homeward bound...not too far away from us, so at the end of a busy cache-filled day thought we'd complete this on the way home and try and beat the sunset! Lucky for us managed to find the cache straight away as it was pitch dark before we got back to the car...v spooky! TNLN
Thanks TLC for a cool hunt.
Thanks TLC for a cool hunt.
I found the clues last weekend and went out today to find the final location, I ended up with 2 different South co-ords and on the ground that equaled a 40mtr difference.
I was able to park within 150mtrs of GZ and started to search, after a while of looking I rechecked the past logs and got freaked out about all of the signs, I did not see any at all but thought it best to leave.
I'll be back

I totally forgot to log this Find.. Looking thru the logs of the ones i havent found yet kick starts my memory
Nice to see varuna along the trail..

Found it!
On the first attempt, wot and I almost got kicked out of the place by security.......
On the second go, just as Troy and I was leaving none other than Team Gunn Parker showed up. All I heard was "NO GPSES ALLOWED IN THE CEMETERY!" before I realised who it was! But it wasn't to be the first other cacher I'd see on this day...
After hitting several other caches, who else did wot, Troy and I come across, but Varuna! I have never met two different teams outside an event, on the same day, let alone on the same cache before! We all ended up walking to the final cache, and saw some Kangaroos, and even some Emu's! Really cool cache, Thanks for the hunt. Took the travel bug and left a 90° viewing eyepiece.

I was “found†by Wot, Devar and Troy on the offside road – perhaps my vehicle should become a moving cache. It was nice to be met once again and then. We ended up walking together towards to the final cache. Glad it was a nice cool breezy weather, instead of heat wave. Nice goodies in the cache as usual. Took a card. Left a calling card and foam can holder. Thanks for historical lesson about jailbird and hunt, TLC
I am so glad that the recent fires didnt reach this cache and sizzle Solly TB.
This is a fantastic cache and well worth the effort - everyone should get out there and try it!!! still not sure about the signs though

Went out Tuesday to check on this one due to recent fires ...
At first It looked like a lost cause as the police still had the area closed. After a brief discussion they told me of another way to get there which should be ok ... following thier directions I ran into another police road block but they got me to where I desired. Parking the car it didn't look good everything is toast and not a bird to be heard anywhere.
I parked the truck and headed off for a walk (less than 4 kms round trip). As I walked along the road it became a little more promising with the fire only reaching the first 300 meters of the walk in. Arrived at GZ pleasantly surprised to see the area alive and green
Picked up Solly to get some competition points and drop off Cache Warrior Delta, then Solly and I returned to the truck and the burnt forest.

We found it!!!
We found the first graveyard co-ords last week and ran-out-of-time????????
We opted for cycle power to finish off this somewhat challenging cache - dont want to give much away. At least we didnt find ourselves in jail for finding the cache??
Thanks for another fun cache TLC
We left TB Solly

Found it!!! 2nd time around. Was very close last time, so close in fact we could have tripped over it. Very well camouflaged. Wonderful paint job. We set the alarm early and planned the day. We left home at 7.41am however had to return at 7.41 to pick up the GPS. We parked the Pajero(Sorry TLC) and walked in. On return to home washed off the awful red dust on the tyres.
Well thought out cache and worth the effort.
Thank you

Solved the first part of this back on 28/12/04 and very interesting it was too.
Since then I have made two passes by the cache area hoping to complete this one (and FAR SIDE) but have found access difficult. Lots of "No This" and "No That" signs and then when you think it doesn't apply to you, you come across another seemingly all encompassing sign that says "PROHIBITED ZONE - NO ACCESS!"
Seems that BELKEN came across the same. Does anyone know for sure (ie "officially") whether access by foot is permitted in this area?

We would love to say that we did all the working out in the last week but we had taken photos and written the details of these two Felons( and a few more...but famous not infamous ) people about a year ago. We had planned something along the same lines but never got around to finishing the cache. We are glad we didnt finish it as we could never have made such a professional looking web presence as TLC is so adept at doing. The other bonus we get is that we have another cache bagged and added to the tally. We waited until a cooler day and have just returned from an almost night cache. Just as final note "RHYDDID" is Welsh for Freedom. We all experience that whenever we get the chance to go to such pleasent surrounds. We added a pair of Sunnies (no we didnt find them near a Freo cache) and took nothing. Thanks for the cache
As far as access goes to the area. It should be Ok as long as you dont take anything with a motor on it. They dont like oil in the water. you cant swim either or fish/remove anything or camp. As for walking we cant possibley do anymore damage than the roos or pigs. Officaly I'm not sure but it just seems common sense so we try to work by that rule. We are sure that if they didnt want humans there then they would be VERY explict about that detail on the signs.
We found time to visit my parents and Granparents in the same place as the other two legends. We found that "prohibited" means big 4 wheel machines but obviously not the two wheel kind. We found the walk in the scrub relaxing on a pleasant afternoon. We found some old fence posts and a ditch in the ground. We found that green flies love bare legs in the afternoon. We found our way back to the car in the dark. But we didn't find the cache. Will recheck our thoughts and try again another day.
