The cash was just left on the ground?! But we put it back were it belongs

Embarking on a caching road trip in the South West region of Western Australia, the goal was twofold: tidy up the map by revisiting familiar caches and explore new ones in uncharted territories. This journey promised a unique blend of nostalgia and discovery, weaving through both familiar landscapes and venturing into unexplored territories for a geocaching adventure filled with variety and surprises.Stopped in Balingup on the way through from Donnybrook to Nannup. Parked up just off the nearby driveway and strolled over to make a quick find. Thank you Comdek and Crew for placing this cache for my enjoyment.

Cool

We looked for a while but didnt find it also kinda scary of the amount of spiders there were

Today is the first day TaurusSix and I have been able to focus on geocaching in what feels like quite a while. We decided to do a day trip that involved, maintaining our existing caches, doing recci’s for future caches and placing new caches as well as collecting an Adventure Lab and seven traditional caches .

It was a nice day for a drive, not too hot . We did a circuit from Bunbury, through Capel onto Nannup, then up the back roads to Ballingup a route which we had not taken before and which we are sure will look quite different in winter. Then it was onto Donnybrook before heading back to Bunbury. The last time we saw the Blackwood River it was swollen and overflowing just a few months again today it was very low , it’s always good to get perspective.

This was our seventh traditional cache find for the day along with an Adventure Lab. We have really enjoyed the metal scarecrow statues around town and the fact that they are good for hiding caches is even better. Thanks for the cache Comdek and Crew

Quick easy find!

Thanks for the cache

Stopped by whilst in town to grab this old cache.

Cheers

We love Balingup. So enjoying the sites while geocaching.

Quick find

Cute and easy. Thank you

I drove past and there was only one spot it could be. Quick and easy find. The log book is nearly full. Will need replacing within the next 3-4 finds

Updated at the request of the WA Caching Community.

Our initial attempts to get to GZ were fruitless. Then we went back through previous logs and found some coordinates (S33 46.760 E115 58.920 ) provided by pommieparkin2 and these proved very accurate. After a brief search, the cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks to those who maintain this cache in memory of Comdek and Crew.

Here for the medieval festival and a quick cache for day 12 of a caching streak tftc

Took a while to locate, until I read some other finds and realized 50m off in position.
Should have guessed it would be with the other half of the young lady on the other side of town

This took us forever to find, we got a bit confused by the coords but ended up looking in the right spot TFTC

Thank you to pommie parking for correct cords.




This is my 508 find.
Thank you Comdek and Crew for you placing and maintaining this cache.

Found it! Took a little while to figure out that the cache was 50m from the coords.

A quick easy find whilst out sightseeing for the day during our weeks stay in the area with Lidds and Miss Goosey. The things we do in the rain to get your 1111th find. TFTC

Scarecrow every where

Nice easy find while I pretended to take photos of old mate. TFTC.

As previously stated the coordinates are off. Finally figured out the right spot on a nearby obvious structure and my other eyes quickly spotted it . TFTC

Distance was out quite a margin but found it no trouble after searching the right object. Tftc

It was obvious where it was but it still took a long time to find.

Another quick grab

Woohoo !!! Found it !!!

Decided to take a trip to the area to do some caching. Only ever passed through this area , never stopped to look around.
Such a beautiful part of WA.
Found this with little problem.

Ezpz thanks ))

On the way to Bridgetown for work and with the kids at their Grandparents Mrs DD2 came for the drive.
We left home early so we could grab some caches on the way down, then Mrs DD2 checked out town while I did a few hours work, then we drove further afield and grabbed some more caches.
Not sure if we'll manage to get all the souvenirs but nice to have some

Lots of spider webs but Mrs DD2 managed to get and sign

Comdek and Crew I found your cache Balingup Bounty thanks for placing this hide and bringing me to this area.

GZ 42m out.


Well 2017 is nearly over, so we must make one last hurrah with a quick road trip south via a number of country towns to our eventual target of Manjimup to bag and tag a number of green dots on the map that have alluded us for far too long. I also had a mini goal to grab the twenty remaining caches to ensure I beat last years total finds of 2554, which we easily knocked off today.

After a good gym session this morning we left from Treeby heading south to Bunbury, where we turned off and made our way towards Manjimup via Bailingup, Kirup, Grimwade, Greenbushes, Bridgetown and a few others along the way.

We weren't sure about grabbing the caches in Gromwade as it looked a bit secluded but were very grateful for the good sized containers and good hides.

Our favourite caches for the day were a number of wandollip wanderer caches which were all very well constructed and deserved the many favourite points that we gave them! Thank you for making caching very interesting especially the school hides and around greenbushes.

We ended up caching in the fading light in Manjimup with 50 or so finds for the day, a huge effort. A few left in town for us to grab tomorow.

Thanks to the local COs for their great caches and we look forward to finding the remainder tomorow.

Great easy fun cache TFTC

Tftc nice easy find for the kids

Like everyone else GZ was a mile out but GZ was obvious.
