Another case of an old printout.

Cache missing

There's no apparent interest in this cache by the owners, so it's probably time to archive it.

The cache appears to have been missing for some time without a response from the owner.

We searched high and low on the way to Albany and then again on the homeward trip. We took photos of where we thought it could have been and now that we can check the internet find we would have found it if it had been there.

Needs replacing or retiring I think.

Cache is no longer there - only evidence that cache may have been there was a small dug out hole. Still we were in the right spot as per photo. Grandma may need some more perfume.

We had another look for half an hour on our way back to Perth but still coudn't find it. Having just looked at the photo, we definitely looked in that particular spot, being the most obvious and a great spot for a cache. We also spoke to Wolphin who looked there too but couldn't find it. We suspect that it may have been muggled. We did see cars parked on the other side of the river and people shooting the rapids in canoes, so there are muggles around. Any chance the owners can have a look-see?

Like the previous visitor, Wolphin, we turned the bank upside down for an hour looking for this cache, to no evail. We looked under rocks, under leaves, in the trees, around the tracks, even looking for evidence of the tube shaped cache being poked into the side of the bank. We just couldn't find it!!! So we decided to have a fish at the inviting rapid nearby and we coudn't find any fish either. And then I snagged and lost my fly! Not a great day!

Tried to find this one on the way through Bridgetown, but no luck. I think we turned the bank upside down looking for it, but gave up when the GPS kept changing our search area. Will probably try again next time we're going though.

Our third visit. This is a nice one to bring visitors to Bridgetown to and an easy introduction to the game.

A pleasant afternoon walk without the kids. Plenty of ducks on the river. Took nothing. Left a stone turtle necklace. MT#1 "Panter Blue" dropped by. Thanks.

Easy find. Thanx [:X]

Found after a short stroll. Was a bit chilly and just started spitting rain, not to mention pitch black as it was about 11pm. TFTH

Tamara's first cache find with the rest of the family cheering her on!

GPS co ords are a bit off but they are close.

Nice hunt for the third one on camping trip.

good spot but the name dose not suit the location any more.
tnln thanks for the hunt

This was our first Aussie geocache, having relocated from the UK. Just the right level of difficulty - a bit of a hunt, and a happy find!

Had a day out & ended up here without any notes so drove to the area. Parked near the crossing, but a steep descent. A part of Bridgetown I hadn't seen before. Container now a length of capped plastic pipe. TNLN, TFC

A nice easy find at the beginning of my drive back to SA.
took nothing, left a grandma figurine.
Cheers, TFTC.

1900hrs: we were on way returning to Perth after spent our weekend in South West and made a detour to find the cache. A nice and quick find. No swaps. Nice view of Blackwater river - they are still running. Thanks for bringing us to this nice location and the hunt.

Found the cache, lovely area. Thank you for organised the cache and hunt. No swap.

found it

Found it it the pouring rain... had the wonderful sight of the geo-wife sliding around on the embankment in the mud! Great fun!! Picked up TB Bottle Bug and dropped of TB Tigger.

After a bit trouble to find a parking spot we´ve found the cache easily. No trade.
Greetings, Thomas & Birgit (Germany)

Back in WA so we decided to change the container to a super duper cylindrical, waterproof model. Thanks to everyone that "Dewatered" it over the past year.

First of three for the day. Had a bit of trouble finding the best spot to start from given the level of the Blackwood.

Cache is in a pretty bad way. The only contents are a candle and a key ring......and a lot of ink from the past leaky pen.

Might be worth the cache owner having a look.

This was number 4 but only 3 find for the day an I did not want to step in to mud pool. I kept thinking of quick sand or quick mud. Don’t want to die out here righttt?
A lonely kind of sad place it was. Reminded me of the song, Patches,down by the river… Even the cache looked sad. The little horse wanted to leave but we TNLN. Sorrie horssie.
View not as majestic but the town is nice ,quaint and charming.

This was number 3 for the day and the final cache of our Western Australian geocaching adventure. We had a bit of a hard time figuring out the best parking spot for this, but once there it was easy to spot the trail. I had fun watching Spa Susi, who was so tough climbing the diamond tree, get all girly about getting her shoes a little muddy while we walked around a flooded spot on the path. The cache was easy to find in it's new location. The leaky pen is still gone, but the ink remains. Careful or you'll get ink all over.

We nearly gave up on this one before we started. We locked the keys in the car and had to find some wire to open it. It took 1 minute total, we cant begin to wonder just what they were thinking when they made the car as you dont seem to need much of a key to get in.
After that little diversion we continued on the hunt.
We found the cache took out the leaking pen and replaced it with a new one. We also put the cache under a nearby rock to give it better rain protection. You can see where it is from the spoiler. Its only 1m from the original location so coordinates are the same. The cache is nested under the rock and hidden by some smaller rocks. Contents were slightly damp.
We then went off to the nearby picnic ground and had a great lunch on a huge table near the river. the BBQ didnt work so we had to use our own gas stove. Lucky for us we are always prepared for just such an event.

Thanks for the cache and reason to stop.

Found at 13.20 on a lovely sunny Sunday. Came in basically the same way as Team Magna, and their photo helped us find the right spot. Box was very wet, so we dried it out and wrapped it in a plastic bag afterwards.

Parked the magna near the railway crossing and walked along the top then climbed down the bank and found the cache with our GPS. Took us a while to find. Lucky there were no muggles around.
The river is really raging at the moment and by the looks of it it has been pretty high up.
T: Nothing
L: Sticky tape holder.

Nice walk along the river, wish I took my camera

Our first find and a first to find at that.

Was half full of water so cleaned it up as well as we could. Some of the contents were destroyed.

Took stubby holder
Left Santa

Unfortunately not FTF but a close 2nd (4 hours).
Got this on 2nd attempt. It was easier to see it today than on Friday.

Took Santa (left by FTF)
Left Key tag.

Tried to get this one on impulse after travelling down from Wellington Mill late in the afternoon.

Searched for some time just on dusk but couldn't find it.

Team Beachbums is heading your way Thursday.
