Broome Holiday Broome, Western Australia, Australia

Unable to replace cache.

Very overgrown scrub. Hunted for 30 minutes but not to be seen.

No luck for us. Is it still there CO?

Appears as tho the cache is no longer there. As I am unable to confirm its status I am going to disable it.
Thanks all for your hunting over the years.
Jim

Having placed this cache 10 years ago I am unfortunately no longer able to check it. If there is another no find i will disable it. The shrubbery has changed a lot over the years.
Jim

Looked for 30 mins undergrowth really thick. Is this still there?

Looked for a bout 20 mins

TFTC on beautiful Broome day

The clue is not much help these days. The growth of scrub in 9 years in amazing. Thanks jim@chris.

Cute little hide, did this one with me mumsie. haha Thanks!

Lovely walk ! Nifty spot , me and three friends had our own little adventure time ! Woo thanks guys

This was another find in Western Australia while crossing Northern Territory and Western Australia from Darwin to Perth on Gibb River Road through the Kimberlys. During this 8500km journey we've met many nice and friendly people [^], visited countless marvelous places, saw lots of interesting local wildlife (and plants), took some 2500 pictures home and logged some 300 Caches .

Cacheator Dad was somehow blind here, we finally found some 10m off .

Thanks for the cache, we've enjoyed it very much [^].

Nice quick find

A pleasant walk along the beach from the port launching area. Great scenery and a lovely spot for a cache. TFTC

Thanks for taking us to yet another beautiful spot

Nice spot.GPS was a bit confused or maybe it was me?! Found it after a little while.tftc

Nice walk along the beach to warm up. On my 60th birthday. Old farts can cache!! Tftc.

A tricky path to the beach for geriatrics! After locating the prize and re-reading the data later, I reckon that the container has suffered a bit of "cache creep". TFTC, jim@chris

Great location, easy find tftc

Singing, "We're all going on a summer holiday," despite the fact that it's winter, IolantheK and I paused in our little hire car at the start of the road leading to this one and debated exactly how boggy that sand might be. Cautiously edging onto the road, we discovered it was pretty solid, so drove happily along to the recommended parking coordinates, where only one other car promised a quiet beach. We loved walking along past the fabulous rocks on the beach (I do enjoy Broome's coastline) and followed a little gully up toward GZ, where we circled a little before spotting the cache. An enjoyable stop, glad we risked the road. TFTC, jim&chris. =^.^=

La Kedi and i are traveling across Australia and we have reached Broome. On our last day we headed out to finish collecting all the caches. This one we were a bit iffy about driving the car close to GZ, but it was easier than we expected. And then we had a great walk up the beach. Lots of interesting rock features. The cache was a quick find. TFTC, jim@chris.

We parked at Rendell car park number3, walked to the beach, then to the right until we reached the creek. Walked up that and it was an easy find. A very nice cache. TFTC

As usual I took the hardest way in through the scrub from the dirt road so was thankful when it popped into sight.TFTC

Circled around it but found it pretty easily in the end, just did a bit more bushbashing than we really had to! Beautiful location we never would have come to if not in pursuit of the cache! TFTC!

Great location thanks

Trekked around the beach and up the creek and found it OK. Returned to the car park through the bush. Took "Thrips Kiwi Racing TB.

Quick find considering the location. Dropped tb

On our way from Perth to Darwin we saw many great things and places - many of them thanks to geocaching! We thank the owners for sharing their favorite spots with us by hiding their caches!

Nice cache in a lesser beach of broome.

Took Lucky Wonder TB when I visited

#1197 - 18:30; Arrived in Broome this morning with mastahdemoli for a couple of days work. An earlier than expected finish saw us tracking down some of the local caches and this was the fourth for the afternoon. As usual with Murphy's assistance we took the more difficult route in, but managed to find a more accessible way out. Dropped a TB to continue on its journey. TFTC jim@chris

Got this easily with LuckyL10n. What a caching trip it has been. TFTC.

I found this cache together with Jennilipu. This beach is just awesome and worth a visit! It's one of the most beautiful spots on our journey around Australia!
Thanks for that cache on an awesome beach away from the tourist spots!
TFTC!
Took a TB

Found this Cache together with Ossesat. Thanks for this cache in an awesome location!

Easier to get to from the beach. A nice one to look for after finding the beautiful and secluded beach

Second cache find, kids are really enjoying the hunt!

Dropped the trackable in this cache, seemed the best cache location relating to kayaking....

Found during a short stay in Broome! TFTC!

In Broome for a week during a year long trip around Australia. Happy to add a few more caches to our tally 

I rode to GZ via the Port and then a hideously sandy track. Even more red dirt on the way to GZ plus some rocks. There were a few people swimming near GZ; I was tempted too since there was red dirt acting as body paint with my sweat! Thanks for the hide jim@chris.

Good find near the end of the creek

What a beautiful beach! Quick find, TFTC!

We found this cache during our trip from Broome to Darwin. As we did not have any internet connection in this beautiful but remote area, we could only log it after having returned to Switzerland. Many thanks to the owner, it was fun.

quick easy find on our 4 week trip
left dragonfly & leaf, butterfly & motorbike

This is our 1st day of caching in Broome. We have set the caravan up at the PCYC
The road into the cache still has some water crossing it, we parked on the edge of the road & made our way to GZ where the cache was quickly found.
Thanks jim@chris

Nice easy find this morning on the 'URK World tour'


All good with cache, full log to follow when back home on the PC.

A quick generic paragraph to start the log…This cache was one of the ones found on the VH-URK Kimberly-Broome flying trip of 2013. We left from Stawell, flew up to the Gulf via Thargomindah and Longreach, then across via Kakadu to Mataranka and on to Kununurra. From there, it was on to Broome, Halls Creek, Alice Springs and home to Stawell via Broken Hill. Around 4500 nautical miles (8340km), at least one cache in every mainland state and an awesome time.

The sign at the start of the road said it was closed, but someone came down as I was thinking if I should take the chance, so I decided to see how far I could get. There were a couple of small puddles, but nothing to worry the hired 4WD and I made it all the way to the carpark.

A lovely beach, totally deserted at the early hour of the day, so I had a nice walk and made the quick find.

As I was leaving, I could see water over the road just past the carpark entrance and I figured that was the reason for the closure, so it was the long way around to get to the Earthcache on the Point.

All good with cache, thanks for showing me this lovely spot

Due to closed road after rain we were unable to try for this one

Nice stroll along along beach ... Chasin the crabs back into the water TFTC

“1CADFAY”, (1 cache a day for a year).
Broome WA
Another slow start to the day as we were doing some research of information brochures to see what was left to do in Broome that we hadn’t done yet and if there was anything we wanted to see and do. Another place to go and visit would be the crocodile farm, but I’m not interested in seeing lots of wild animals crowded into little cages waiting to get turned into handbags and shoes.
One trip that I would love to do would be to fly to the horizontal falls and go in a boat to see them, but the cost is VERY high, about $700 per person, ouch!
We looked at doing a 220k each way day trip up to Cape Leveque but it’s gravel road half the way, I’m sure it would be amazingly beautiful but if I was going to do it I would like to take a 4wd camper and go for a few weeks to have a proper look around.
Even a simple camel tour on Cable beach will cost you min $70 for the sunset tour, and really why would you do any other time of day, lol.
So having come to the conclusion that we have probably seen and done what we need to, and can afford to, we decided that we don’t need to extend our stay and we can continue on in a couple of days.
We spent the day running around doing some caches, first on the list was “To Have and to Hold. To Find and to Swap, GC3QFVD”. This was a fun cache to do as it took us on to the beach, in our vehicle. On the way down to the beach we stopped to chat to some cyclists who had advertising on their shirts that they were doing a cycle tour from Broome to Cape Leeuwin. What a mission!
We then went off to look for the dinosaur prints at the Gantheaume Point, but the tide was not low enough again today to expose the rocks, so we had to make do with taking photos at the casting in the concrete block. We collected the information from the information boards for the Earthcache, “Dinosaur footprints, GC41WNY”, which I will send to the CO when I can get some time. Next on the list was the final of the multi cache which we had been working on “Oracle Jam's Broome Birthday Tour, GCTWVG”, we managed to find this after a bit of a scramble around in the rocks, lol.
Last one, “Broome Holiday, GCQQEX”, before heading back to the caravan for some lunch, which was meant to be a quick one, but ended up taking longer than anticipated as the road to the cache area was closed due to large pools of water across the road. This didn’t seem to be deterring anyone so we drove in from the port end of the road and parked nearby at carpark 3. After trying to access from the beach we decided to tackle from the road side, it was a bit of a scramble through the scrub but after a short search we found the cache lying somewhat out in the open, after signing the log we replaced the cache with a few stones around it to try to make it less conspicuous.
After lunch, which was a bit delayed from all the caching, we paid a visit to the tourist office to double check info about our next destinations, Derby and Fitzroy Crossing. We then went to find our last cache for the day, “Sandy Hieghts, (sic), GCYN48”. This involved a bit of driving around, finding roads that were not finished, turning around and backtracking, then once we got close to the cache area we managed to find a track to go up the hill to access the cache. Great views from up here but no camels to be seen, or any sunset today as it was raining by this time, lol. By now it was time to head back to the caravan for dinners and to settle in for the night again.

Found with SeabreezeOZ, TFTC

DNS: Road Closed

A quick find on a very muggy morning. TFTC

Unfortunately the weather around Broome over the last few days has left access roads to this cache closed.
I can return at a later date rather than walk 2-3 kilometres in the heat.

The road leading to this is currently closed from both ends due to weather

Weren't sure where parking was. We think it was down the dirt road, but the road had been closed because the rain had flooded it too much (and we were not in a 4wd :C). So we parked at the port. GPS was reading 1800m distance, but we decided to go anyway. Me and T went with my mum and little sister (who live up here) on a half hour walk/hike over the beach and rocks to get there. It was a nice walk, but probably a bit far in the end. Tide had come in a lot by the time we got back. But hey, what's a bit of geocaching without some adventure?

Found in the dark and rain with wetnoodle, was good fun

Found with visiting family. Good spot and on the first good rainy night in months. Crabs and ants running around everywhere. Tftc

Hot an humid scrub walk: nice Xmas eve cache find for me

First Cache with my dog. had a lot fun

nice evening walk at the beach with a little cache.. Tftc!

First cache ever! Took a little bush whacking, parked in different car park, got there in the end. Great for first find.
Thanks

Great spot

Beautiful Beach. Thank you for showing us.
TFTC greetings from Switzerland

Awesome beach and cache, not so awesome ants - ouch! Took TB. Thanks

Dashed off the track to collect while the family remained in the air cond car. TFTC but geez those ants can bite!

Found again on our revisit 12 mths later.

TFTA ??

Found today Lovely spot. We found the cache but couldnt stick around to sign the log due to really intense ant attack!
This must be the best beach we went to in Broome, we even liked it more than Cable beach. It's really lovely to find a cache in such a gorgeous spot. TFTH. Princess_Leia & Han_Solo_.

After a stroll along the nearby wharf, we headed to the beach for a while to soak up the sun and the beauty of the area, Oh and grab a cache too . Cache was a little exposed so covered up as best we could. TFTC

TFTC, interesting place... fellow cachers, please venture to the beach, to enjoy the sights. TN, Left TB.

Nice easy cache. Well worth walking down to the beach. What a pretty place. TCTF TNLN

Beautiful quiet location - we had to share with only a diver and his dog - given more time, an ideal spot to spend a day strandwalking, reading, listening.

Very interesting look of the beach here, with all the small red rocks. The diver we had spotted suddenly cried out and hissed, then moved out of the water quickly. He appeared to be alright, his dog seemed happy too, so we could refocus our attention to our geocaching tour.

Found at 11am. TFTC
TNLN

Found ok.Enjoyed the jaunt down the beach and up to cache.Thanks.
