Buried Treasure Kwelkan, Western Australia, Australia
By Muka Raiders on 25-Apr-05. Waypoint GCNMNK

We headed to Eaglesone and planned to camp here tonight. What a great spot. There is only one camper here.We decided to head up the rock to checkout the view over the lake. We then headed down and around to find these caches.This was a nice quick find here.TFTC

Another water trap working well. Did what I could to rectify.

Biggest cache weve seen for a long while. Great location. TFTC.

Buried treasure it was! Great spot, great rocks.

A caching trip from Canberra, ACT to Cape York, Qld and then around the gulf to East Arnhem Land, NT then over the top of WA and down to Perth.Interesting detours to Thursday Island, Mabuiag Island, Mornington Island, Doomadgee, Hells Gate, Nhulunbuy, Wadeye, Litchfield National Park, Wyndham, the Gibb River Road, Monkey Mia, Meekatharra, Wiluna, Laverton & Warburton.TFTC. Another excellent collection of rocks.

Thanks good find

Thanks

Our first find. Very exciting!

TFTCFOLLOW THE MAP

Passing through and with a bit of detour came to another interesting rock formation and salt lake. Found the original container in the ground and the replacement in the stump before heading up the rock for the old bonus. TFTC

Great lil spot for lil kiddies to go looking

Found it

Half found, we found one of the split caches (the one in the car park under the tree) but the one up the rock near the cobras mouth we couldnt find, even looking exactly where the photos were showing, we were a team of 10 and looked everywhere and could not find it so it must have been moved

Really nice rock formations

Lovely to find! Had a look on our morning walk.
Thanks for setting this one down!

This was a nice easy find for me as unfortunately it was out in the open. All was ok with it though. TFTC Muka Raiders

Day 3 of a great camping weekend. Today we drove from the Helena and Aurora Ranges back to Merredin to re-stock. From there it was up to Eaglestone Rock for the night. Thanks for all the cache!

Today was day three of our trip to the eastern fringes of the Wheatbelt. We overnighted at the Helena and Aurora Ranges after completing the Great Southern Land series by sazpazza the day before. After catching the sunrise and cooking a bacon breakfast, we made tracks back towards Koolyanobbing, before pumping the tyres and hitting the tarmac to Southern Cross. From there we weaved through to Moorine Rock, Westonia and eventually Merredin, where we stopped for dinner and a resupply before pushing on to Eaglestone Rock near Nungarin for the night.

Thank you to all the COs that place these country caches and particularly to sazpazza for establishing the new geocaching trail which has brought us out here.

After enjoying a ripper sunset from the rock, and having watched the moon rise ahead of a full moon in the coming days, we decided to head here to have a crack at the cache. Had no troubles locating this one. It was in great condition, with the inner container having been replaced and the logbook in a perfect state. We added our names to the logbook and continued on to watch the roos in the nearby wheat crop. Cheers Muka Raiders!

Out and about for the weekend and camping overnight here

Great little spot

️

Found on a trip to the west from South Australia., visiting friends and relatives, checking out the sites and finding caches of interest along the way.

The weather has been really good for the last couple of weeks while I have been north and east of Perth. There has been no rain and the winds haven’t been too bad. Makes a welcome change from the previous 3 weeks when I was constantly beating my way into strong winds and it rained almost every night! I hope it holds out for the next week or so as I continue to head east on my way home.

Last night I camped at Eaglestone Rock. Then today I made my way down to Merredin to refuel and resupply for the trip home, before heading west to Coolgardie, then down to Burra Rock to camp for the night. It was the second time I’ve been to Burra Rock on this trip, but this time the plan is to continue on to Cave Hill, then Sunday Soak before rejoining the highway somewhere north of Norseman.

I didn’t have a lot of time to look for caches today. And that wasn’t helped by a tyre deciding to shed its tread at speed on the highway, which added an hour to the journey by the time I’d changed it over and made some makeshift repairs to the damage it caused under the vehicle! As they say, “stuff happens”

It didn’t take me long to find the cache. I was helped by the geotrail left by the previous finders only yesterday. When something suddenly sounded different underfoot, I knew I was there.

Thanks Muka Raiders for the cache.

Awesome description and a great treasure hunt for the whole family. Filled with so many cool trinkets. Fork tree has been cut up but still was easy to find.
Thanks heaps

So many beautiful landscapes around these parts.

I came, I saw, I signed the log. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Cache is in good condition.

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

On our roadtrip to desert country (Bonnie rock, Kalgoorlie and ghost towns). A cool spot

On a road trip around the wheatbelt areas of Western Australia for a few weeks. We are enjoying the many friendly towns along the way, whether staying in the CP’s or camping out. Thank you so much to the CO’s of every cache for placing them for our enjoyment. They certainly bring you to many spots that you might not stop at otherwise.
Made the climb over the rocks only to realise there was a camp ground around the other side Nice hide here.

Beaten looked at all sorts of rocks but to no avail had to omit to defeat this time
To old to clamber around in the heat
TFTC

One daý I will raise something and ot won't be a cache underneath
All good today though

Quickly found this one and then scrambled up the rocks. Amazing view. Have a fav for bringing me here.

Clever, tftc Blikkas

Left Perth early this morning on our way to Mukinbudin. Spending a few days with friends here. Found afew caches on the way there.
Quick find here before a bit of scrambling on the rocks. TFTC

Find 3 of 16 on day 5 of our road trip which today finished in a blur of new LGAs, taking us up to 83 finds and about 2700km covered.

Took the more difficult path to this one - just followed our compass on foot from the info board at what we thought was the end of the road, along some sketchy 4WD tracks and when they ran out, up and over the granite. Then we dropped down on to a well made road which we could have driven in on, haha. About to give up on the cache as Mr O misread the description altogether (or the description doesn't apply any more, could be either), but then Mrs O said "what about that" and that was indeed hiding the cache. Good to see such an oldie lives on.

TFTC Muka Raiders!

?? yeahA

Quick find TFTH- A favourite for bringing us out to such an amazing spot. Thanks for the hide

Quick park and grab, awesome spot, TFTH.

If we had read the instructions and details we would easily have found this cache quickly. Between muggle campers we found and signed.
We ended up camping the night in this beautiful area.
Thanks for bringing us here.

TFTC. Found while enjoying a wander out yonder

TFTC! Awesome spot! We found it with the log book slightly damp and the disposable camera missing. Placed it back as found

Out for a wheatbelt road trip after the COVID travel restrictions have been lifted. With WAGB20 being cancelled in the pandemic, an invite to join others to celebrate the long weekend was perfect.
First night was camping at Elachbutting Rock with Barnzy12 and Cravo10 where we hit some great finds, beautiful locations and had fun on the dirt tracks weaving our way whilst caching out to Kwolyin Rock for the second night where we met up with a nice crew of fellow geocachers to enjoy sitting around a large campfire sharing stories. I have lost count of the rocks Ive climbed - but my body says many
I then head off on my own caching along the way to Northam where I spent a couple more days hunting through beautiful Toodyay and York and surrounds.
A huge thank you to all the COs for placing and maintaining their caches. The places I have seen and the fun I have had are testament to why I love this game so much. Its been a big 5 days and I am pooped but I have loved every minute!

Managed to get the caravan with a few meters to make a quick find of a great hide. Thanks for placing the cache.

Great spot

We found this big box easily.
TFTC

Another wheatbelt road trip with the kids, we stopped to find this cache on our tour of the area... The kids had this one found before I had even got out of the car

We were going to take a walk up to the top but the flys were shocking & we couldn't get back in the car fast enough

TFTC Muka Raiders [^]

Very interesting cache.
Enjoyed the view and log the cache. TFTH

Went for a quick ova night camp to grab these 2..and have a walk ova the rock.
Has been 20 odd yrs since I was last out there.
Placed a new hide also, will come live very soon.
A grt cache.. Quick and easy, with a lot of swappables.
I left a small token, but took nothing.
I was going tempted to leave my last Trackable there.
TFTC..

Out and about in the Central Wheatbelt area this weekend on a mission to grab some missing LGA's. After 1200 odd K's, 43 finds, a few DNF's and two nights under the stars, it was mission accomplished.

Planned to camp here for the night but had to find this cache first. Rummaged around for a bit before re-reading the description and spotted where the container must be. A great place to camp, very peaceful indeed.

Muka Raiders I found your cache at 3:09pm, this was the 21st of 21 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 5896. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Found it. Coordinates were spot on. A great location, we camped here for 2 nights. it.

This weekend has been some time in the planning and we were heading up this way to drive the Wheatbelt Way Trail and collect geocaches along the route. We also had GCA caches, Waymarks and Sighters on the radar which should break up the trip nicely. We had no set plans for accommodation and we decided that we would see where we ended up each day to set up camp. This cache was one that we targeted on our mini adventure. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Muka Raiders, I was in this area today and found your cache Buried Treasure GCNMNK. I added my name to the log book at 3:15 pm on 28 September 2019. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

This cache find brings our total find count to 10975. Woohoo!!

Coords good, had a good dig in what appeared to be the only obvious spot, but no joy. Will put a watch on this one.
TFTC location, what in excellent place to camp/visit.

2nd attempt today after discussion with Mrs Gypsy, and new mind set, yes found! The place that "appears" to be the right place, is not also so!
Thanks again for this cache, and the challenge! TNLNSL

Found the treasure which was all in good condition considering the location. Beautiful area.
However....we couldn't find the micro after looking under many rocks.

Camped here the night and found the cache easy enough on our way out. A place I've been meaning to check out for ages now. TFTC.

PP1 never even told me that he found it eventually.....he says he did.....but I never heard him!

All this way & we could not find it.

We headed out into the country to get away from the weather and collect a few smilies, an 800km return trip which took us to some beautiful and amazing places, happy to say we came up trumps here and drove away with a smilie TFTC

Found it under Tim lid not rock. TN LN TFTC

Easy find on the main cache. TNLN & SL. Thanks for bringing us to Eaglestone Rock

Clues were good saw tree but very overgriwn and a few snakes about

This one confused us completely. Reading the hint we hared up over rocks to look under every slab etc. no luck. Then went to The coords and found a cache. What the .....

A quick find here before heading up the rock for the bonus cache! Unfortunately we were unable to find the bonus and after reading previous logs it could well be long gone!

Thanks BoofMuka

Great spot - TFTC

Nice one

Out for a couple of days caching, with the Geoson in the northern wheatbelt. Hopefully knocking off a few more lga's off the list.

Despite the weather, some fantastic finds and a few dnf's were had.

A big thanks to all the co's for placing and maintaining these hide. Great work showing off some real gems of the wheatbelt.

Out for a trip around the wheatbelt to grab some missing LGA's. Interesting rock feature> we parked right next to the cache and had a coffee before heading up to find the micro. Unfortunately we didn't locate that one.

Thanks

Awesome thanks. Nice quick one as a bit warm today

Found the cache. And a spider nesting as well. TFTC

Found it easily. A spider is protecting the cache. TFTC

Day 10 of our Adventure to the northern Goldfields and now in the Wheatbelt. Staying at the Mukinbudin Caravan Park, and today we head to Lake Brown, Westonia and Merredin. Find 2 for today and happy to find this oldie! All good with cache. A lovely spot, for camping even. TFTC!

Well it’s now day 10 of our Northern adventure with m4yb, Jonathan the camper trailer and Max the GeoUte are now in the Wheatbelt.
Enjoyed a day of relaxation in Mukinbudin staying at the caravan park and use of the pool was wonderful.
What a great spot this is, and would be lovely for an overnight camp. Worth a fav for that and bringing me here.

Thanks for the smiley and adventure in the Wheatbelt Mika Raiders

Tfth! Rock on! Nice rocks! TN L headlamp. SL

We found it. Our first find! By chance we stopped right in this spot for our picnic lunch so after a quick look around and one false start we were into it. 2017 Beacon-Kellerberrin Father's Day Crew.

Wheatbelt caching is some of my favourite caching, well anything away from the noise, smell and hustle of the city is great. The wheatbelt has it all, long drives, great scenery, brilliant sights, and interesting stuff at every turn.

A two day trip to the wheatbelt to tackle the ever growing number of green and orange dots on the map and cleanup some archived caches that are still in play has been on the cards for a very long time, just the timing has never been right!

With these new wheatbelt science trail caches being published and the two of us having a rare Saturday off we decided to meet in Northam before heading off for a full days caching.

We started off a bit slow needing to fuel in Northam before heading to kellerberrin and then to the northern wheatbelt to cleanup a few FTF opportunities.

We got to Keller Fella as the locals call it and missed the FTF by around 25 minutes. Probably a record in this neck of the woods. Was really keen to nab a FTF here as my grandfather grew up on a farm just outside of kellerberrin.

From Kellerberrin we headed north towards Mikinbudin, Bencubbin, Koorda, Wyalkatchem, Goomallinh and finally we said our farewells again in Northam.

It was a huge day out today with 18 finds, around 800km on the clock, 5 FTFs and 3 archived caches. We saw some really nice features of the wheatbelt and have made a nice dent in the nearly 100 unfound caches we have still got to collect out this way.

Special thanks to the local and not so local COs for their caches, very much appreciated in these parts of Western Australia!!

Great to find his grabdfathered buried cache here today. Had a few containers keeping it alive from the cracks over the years.

Awesome very protected. camera not in use anymore but still fun

An interesting grandfathered buried cache, I quite like it, shame we cant break ground anymore. Hopefully this one stays intact for a very long time.
We had to sus out the many cars parked at the camp ground but they were all empty so we made the find in peace. I think everyone was busy risking their lives climbing the rock.....wish I had the time to join them,
Thanks Muka Raiders a great cache to be sure.

Good easy find -TFTC

Yey

Went to look for it yesterday, but there were people camped there. As we were leaving the campsite this morning were drove past and the area was clear. Thanks to the clues it was a quick find

Gotcha,
An interesting area.
Had fun walking one the salt lake.
TFTC

Great spot! We had an amazing weekend camping and stargazing. Tftc!

TFTC Muka Raiders

Found it
Outer box is not broken as I thought. BUT HAS TO CLOSED VERY WELL

Both outside and inside boxes broken. Outside box half full water ...
Cleaned it out, most treasures beyond recovery and thrown out, replaced logbook with new. Old logbook completely soaked too and thrown away.
Put remaining in new zip bags, but boxes will have to be replaced

Hi people found your buried treasure this morning. Sorry to tell you but it was full of water and as I am on holidays I had nothing to help you out with. I suggest you go and replace because it is all slimy. Left my name on a piece of paper towelling which is all I had. Colendywin

Beaut place.
Thanks for your cache. Helped us discover this awesome camp site.

Found with Sweetestbabyface

Easy find in a great spot!! Large rocks great for the kids to climb!! TFTC

Found the micro but the plastic container has collapsed with age and the log is disentegrating as it is expsoed to the elements.

Easy find of buried treasure but left my notes at home so couldn't find the nano - love the descriptionof the cobra - at least the rock was easy to find. I'll be back!

Nice little hide. TNLN TFTC

Great geocache I took pocket knife and left poster signed by a cricket player thanks for the cache

Firbygang

P.s the is a snake living in the container so beware looks to a red belly

I've been here already a couple times before but never with geocache. It's a beautiful spot, love it. Unfortunately I didn't bring anything with me for exchange.
Ps. You don't need a 4WD anymore the track has been upgraded

Found the first cache yesterday but the micro cache eluded us even after looking under all the flat rocks we could see around the serpent's fang. Lovely spot, camped here for 2 nights.

okay....so ive half found it. im sitting in the cobras mouth right now and ive checked every flat rock tftc

The Gaults and The Squires found both treasures....(the first for The Gaults!)
Had an awesome time

Ahhhhhhhh holidays!!!!!!! Our 23rd find in a new adventure east

Fabulous spot. We made most of it and crashed here overlooking the lake under the stars (and all for free!!) Definately a worthy vote getter, love ya work!

Found the first cache ok and then the micro. The micro log is very wet and mouldy and the writing at the beginning is unintelligible - I couldn't work out if it had its own GC number/name or not. TFTC.

WanderingAus wandered by, taking a very roundabout way to get to Bruce Rock for the annual Back To The Bush Veterans Reunion, and doing some cache maintenance and cache hunting on the way.

After visiting my two caches in Trayning and placing my new cache WanAus 209 - LKA Nungarin at Nungarin Cemetery this was "sort of" on the way to my two caches in Merredin, so I swung by, threw the waterproofs on, and made an extremely quick and easy GAFF 0 find in light rain. I was concerned about the condition of the cache, and would have done some maintenance on it, but in checking I found that the contents seemed OK despite the cache floating lidless, so with the rain picking up again I left it as it was and jumped back in the geoPajero.

My find No 4491, LCC, T a dust storm photo - awesome, LNSL, dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC, my WanderingAus GeoMobile TB and a couple of other travellers in for a visit before grabbing them back again.

Rated: for Overall Experience

We were nearly going to leave this one as it stipulated 4WD. But it was a well graded road suitable for any vehicle. When we got to 200mts away we thought we were going to have to climb the rock. With a little bit more study of the map we parked within 15mtrs. Thanks for bringing us out here, we really enjoyed the drive and the wild flowers. SL TNLN TFTC

What a great spot! Thanks for the cache to take us there And thanks also for clear directions and hints.
