Oracle Jam's Broome Birthday Tour Broome, Western Australia, Australia
By JigJam Clan on 07-Mar-06. Waypoint GCTWVG

First find in Broome, longer log to follow when back in Qld. TFTC

A lengthy multi would normally be missed but we managed to incorporate this into our day tour of Broome with a little help from our new geo-friends.Lovely weekend in Broome chilling out, currently working in Fitzroy Crossing so a 900km round trip to Broome had to include as many geos as we could fit in, weather was pretty humid and hot but getting used to that now up here. Met some fellow geos who are on a cruise around Oz, TeamARF and Sheandhe, always nice to share the craziness and geocaching is a great way to do a proper tour of a new place.Thank you JigJam Clan for placing and maintaining Oracle Jam's Broome Birthday Tour for us and others to find and enjoy!

OCW PelDroedGwin An enjoyable tour of Broomes highlights. Lovely locations at each WP. Used the previous logs to help me get started with the pointy WP.A challenging hide at GZ so happy to get CIH. Tftc

Ocw the Bebes as we visit Broome for a few days. Tftc

Thanks for the tour through Broome!Starting coordinates aren't correct, but we managed to find it. At some questions, we were thinking too complicated, but in the end, we found it.With DieSchmidtis!TFTC!

Nice round in Broome with brezelitos, seeing a lot of good places. The final is alright. TFTC

It is still there! Well defended by ants, spiky grass, hermit crabs and broken glass. We were about to give up but ta-da, another view, and there it was! This one still needs attention, so will post another note to the owner separately. But the cache is in good condition and clearly very well hidden. We did a swap and nabbed what seems to be a long-forgotten TB. Thank you JigJam clan!

Hi JigJam clan, could you please update the starting co-ordinates (the statue has moved - see previous log) and confirm that each waypoint apart from the final is listed as virtual & not physical? Thanks so much!

A DNF from me as well. I found the rock formations at GZ depicted in previous images but it is evident that some parts of the rocks cracked away, not sure when. I had a good search around but nothing that I could find. Nice tour though.

Cant find it anywhere, as many people have said

After reading the last log I didnt think I had much chance of finding anything at GZ, and I didnt.But the multi gave me a nice tour around Broome.Thanks anyway.

DNF - I really enjoyed this multi cache of at least 6 way points. Back in the "old days" all of that work and all of those kms traveled would represent one find, whereas the new version of these caches, the Adventurer Lab would give you 5 finds. I always have a soft spot for the Multi and this one didn't disappoint me. I made notes of the answers without too much trouble and found myself revisiting many places for the second or third (or more times) for other caches or just sightseeing this beautiful area of the Australian coastline. I even had a photo of the answers to one of the questions stored on my camera, so I by passed that way point. And then it was on to the final. Yes I had been here a few times during the last week, the last being this morning. Wow this was no easy job with evidence of recent rock falls and ones that look to have occurred quite some time ago. I searched for more than 30 minutes in every place I thought would hide a cache, but as the area looks to have changed so much and the cache not having been found in a good while, I had to give it up and log a DNF. I hope it is still thee somewhere and can be found my someone with more skill or luck than me. TFTC JigJam Clan.

Back to a spot we were at yesterday and much hotter, so quickly found with NutcacheBNE

WP finger pointer and plaque no longer at given co ords. Try. S 017 57. 338 E 122 14.645

Great little journey around town.

On our final morning in Broome I snuck out of the apartment early trying not to wake my mother, to watch the sunrise and grab the final location for this cache… and in doing so, forgot to take a pen!! First rule of geocaching I know! Got to gz and found a container about 1 litre in size, definitely not a 5 litre as was replaced by Jim Jam clan last year. Wondering if there might be more than one cache container in place at this location. Photo sent to CO as proof. Thanks for the tour of Broome

Tftc

2 weeks in the Kimberley with Dino, Pebbles and Wilma. What a treat and not just that we went around to so many great natural highlights but we did Caches wherever we went which made me very happy and will be perfect to remember all those nice places we saw. Thank you all for showing us this beautiful state with your caches.

After visiting more locations this cache was ticked off as a reward.

This cache: Nice spot for a hide.

Thank you JigJam Clan for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Top location for the cache a very pretty spot and loved the colour of the water. We overthought this but a thorough search had it located eventually.

When GreyHams discovered a great deal to relocate a motor home from Broome to Darwin, things quickly slotted into place to head out for another adventure together. Three planes and a full day of travelling later we arrived in Broome, with the most amazing orange sunset out the windows of the plane.

Plenty of time to discover a few of Broomes caches and places before collecting our wheels the following morning. It slept 6 and had all the luxuries, it was huge, climbing up into it there was no going back and off we set!

The drive was full of changing scenery. Loved the Boab trees in all their different shapes and mass numbers, termite mounds and the red earth. Wildlife lined the roads, always cattle but birds, wild horses, snakes, dingo's, pigs and even buffalo! Stunning rock formations, waterways and even many little fires it was a great drive stopping for the caches as we passed... but no crocs (sad face!)

Leaving Broome we had overnight stays in Fitzroy Crossing, Kununarra and Timber Creek, great places but the highlight being the Lazy Lizard in Timber Creek. Passing through Halls Creek, Katherine and even Kakadu among many other little towns and stops along the way added to a great trip. The van was comfortable and a novel way to travel, the caches spread out over big distances a chance to stretch the legs.

Arriving into Darwin and the van returned it was into town for a few must find caches, and to explore the town, a tad warmer than we were used to at 33C!

Many thanks to all the COs of the caches we stopped at along the way and that added to the enjoyment of the trip.

Aquilus1 & I decided at short notice to add another 'crazy' trip to our growing list of adventures. Flying from Canberra to Broome and driving a 'war rig' huge campervan from Broome to Darwin. It could sleep 6! The hire itself cost almost nothing as it was on a 'relocation' deal.

We arrived too late to pick up the bus on our first day....not surprising really as it took 3 flights to get there. The hotel we stayed at in Broome at had a "competition" on the night we arrived and several barmaids in odd clothing.... "Welcome to WA" it would seem.

After picking up the battleship, we proceeded easterly on our adventure. In three days we would see Fitzroy's Crossing, Hall's Creek, Kununurra, Timber Creek, Katherine, Pine Creek, Kakadu & Darwin, as well as a lot of road.

No crocs spotted, but we did see dingo's, water buffalo, horses, lots of birds & cows.

Favourite stop by a mile was in Pine Creek, at the Lazy Lizard. Very cool and also the cheapest!

Thanks to all the CO's for placing.

Great tour, we saw all the sights

Had a lovely tour through Broome. The statue at Waypoint 1 is missing, but managed to get the final coordinates where we couldn't find the big box.

Regards from Switzerland.

WP1 was missing, but managed to workout GZ
Long search but no luck for us today, beaut spot...

Entrance Point! So beautiful. We have very much enjoyed our trip around Broome’s best sights. Thank you JigJam Clan

Wonderful trip around Broome. Thanks for the journey.

Good

On my way to Perth via Broome with a few detours for LGAs. TFTC.
A great multi that takes you to all the towns highlights with a huge cache with lots of goodies at the end.

Tassie Explorer

Catching up on some late logs, now that I have time while travelling.

We are on the road travelling up through central Australia and down the coast of W.A. I hope to grab a few caches along the way.

Found the container with a new log.

Thanks for placing this cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can enjoy finding it.

New 5 litre container places at original location

After reviewing each stage of the cache we have now updated the start co-ordinates to reflect the changes in Chinatown, and have replaced the cache with a shiny new 5 litre container. Unfortunately a rock slide after serious weather has buried the original cache, but everything is now back in action.

We hope everyone again enjoys this multi and the small tour of town.

Cheers,

The JigJam Clan.

Hi All,

After reviewing the final cache location yesterday it appears that there has been a recent rock fall that has covered the cache. We will endeavour to have this up and running again in the next day or two.

Cheers,

JigJam Clan

Combined some of the stages of this with the adventure lab and a couple of other caches but had to backtrack to the final. Barneycache made the grab at GZ. TFTC

I looked twice . I’m sure I am in the correct area, widen my search and then read some logs, looked at pictures and returned to original area. Eventually the heat got to me and I retreated empty handed. So sad when I get to the end of a multi and stumble at the last hurdle TFTC and the trip around Broome

Burns345 and I managed to finish this one over a few days finding some great locations! Logged out names. Cheers!

Finally finished after backtracking with other caches. TFTC

Thanks for taking us on a tour of Broome we enjoyed exploring the sights. After calculating the final location we were taken back to a lovely place we had explored a few days ago. After scrambling around on the rocks for a bit I searched previous logs for hints. Widened the search and found the prize

Coordinates changed from:
S 17° 57.254 E 122° 14.603

Coordinates changed to:
S 17° 57.282 E 122° 14.674

Distance from original: 446.1 feet or 136.0 meters.

The statue and plaque that form part of the first clue has been relocated during recent town upgrades.

We had to come back for a second go at this one but our name is finally in the logbook, so all's well that ends well. TFTC JigJam Clan

We have been travelling around this great country, calling into see many different places,
now is a quick chance on the computer to catch up with logs and to put some smileys on the map for where we have been.
Thanks to all the COs for some great finds.
TFTC

A happy find while out on my hire bike. Definitely an enjoyable tour of broome though when on the bike you got to do it early in the morning or late in the day. Final WP has some great photo ops. TFTC.

Having escaped Sydney due to a work commitment in Darwin, I had no intention of racing back there! So I've taken four weeks of leave, and headed over to Broome. I've not been here before - it's awesome! I challenged myself to find all the geocaches in Broome: we'll see how that goes.
The first trick with this cache was the first location. The pointing statue and accompanying plaque seems to have been relocated with all the roadworks and town beautification. Luckily, I had seen something that sounded right when I had been walking through the town earlier. I went back to that location in Dampier Terrace and was able to secure the first clue.
I really enjoyed visiting all of the locations to get the clues for this cache. Chances are that I wouldn't have noticed or bothered with a few of them. When it got to the final clue, I realised that I'd already visited the location on my first morning, having walked there to see the sunrise and get another cache. And I had already visited the location of the hide, but had not found the local cache, so now I had double the reason to ride my rented treadlie back down there today.
I had almost given up on searching through the rocks when I turned around to go back up the path, and there it was in front of me!
Thank for a great multi-cache, JigJam Clan! It's been a blast

A nice multi even I skipped few stages. When I arrived to a final location I was a bit worried am I going to find it because I don't like rocky places. Too many hide holes. Luckily spotted this one even my coordinates were 3 metres off, tftc!

Quick trip up north for work. Would love to stay longer however for good reason not wanting to pay the inflated prices for accomodation currently!
The place is very busy not only for work but for the sheer volume of cars and campers on the roads and parked up overnight in car bays!

Loved it up here away from the cold wet conditions in Perth if only for a few days.

Added a Fav point to all the caches found in Broome as there were few to get but all quality hides and or locations!

Enjoying the break, and took advantage of a nice walk around Broome to do the multi. Thanks for the hide

Awesome day out with Lisa my trusty wingman

Ok

Thanks for the very interesting tour around this historically town.
TFTC

Up in Broome for a week with the missus and managed to sneak off and grab a smiley or two here and there. Worked out where this one would be and left it for this morning for an attempt at low tide even though in the end I think it could be had during high tide as well.

Rummaged around at GZ for a few minutes before I spotted the container. Retrieving it was another challenge altogether, I think the last finder had much skinnier arms than me so resorted to poking it with a stick from the other side. Eventually had the container to hand and replaced it not quite so far in.

JigJam Clan I found your cache at 7:04am, this was the 2nd of 5 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 6698.

SLTFTC

On arrival at the first way point it was clear that the plaque had moved. I had remembered seeing the pointing man on the road near the pearl shops. We hiked over there and yes the plaque gave us the answers. Then the rest was easily found, but at the same time they were great spots to visit. We grabbed a coffee near one of the way points (mobile van with coffee and eats - great coffee as well and the constant cars coming through was testimony of the good coffee)
We got to the final spot and just adored the place. Great coastline and views. Thanks for the cache and trip through town.

Coordinates of first way point.
S 17 57.280 E 12 14.677

These coordinates were of my phone but they will be close to the pointing man

Found it! Left a dinosaur, took a crocodile

After working out the co-ords it took a bit of searching to finally find the cache TFTC

What a great little cache to finish our holiday in Broome. Thanks for the update that the starting plaque is located in Dampier Street. Would not have found the info to proceed otherwise. Tftc

Left this cache till last on our days of caching so familiar with the points of interest. Very interesting spots and a great tour around Broome. Final took a little bit of finding but after a few minutes we knew we were in the right place. Thanks Jim-Jam Clan for the great tour.

It was a long trip amd we did it in several steps, but at the end we found this cache.
TFTC

The 1st stage is unclear since the plaque with the 3 statues moved to the Dampier Terrace.
Anyway, there it's easy to find. All other stages and the required variables were easy to find, even the distance between the stages is quite big.
The final stage was interesting to visit twice today, since the landscape has changed a lot compared to 6 hours ago.
TFTC and greetings from Austria

For the first stage we had to move a little bit to find the new place.
Then it was clear and we discovered the whole city for this box.
Amazing at the hiding place we 've been hours before and could now looking at a different landscape. Long ways for this Multi, only with car comfortable.
TFTC and greetings from Austria

Enjoying exploring Broome with our Geo buddies Copwats. Mr Copwat had the cache in hand after a short fossick at GZ. TFTC

In Broome with our caching buddies the Crumps celebrating Mr Copwats Birthday we had a problem starting this one as we think the plaque with the info has moved possibly to Dampier Terrace. At the final coords the cache container was missing only a lid and plastic bag with the log in it were there. After the signing duties were completed we nipped into Red Dot to purchase a container as pictured below to help keep this cache alive especially as the wet season is here. Thanks for bringing us to a lovely part of Broome. TFTC

Managed to garner some info on this multi and decided I could JetSki it. After a few minutes looking around we found the cache as per the spoiler pic, which makes the hiding spot appear larger than it is.

Had three weeks holiday so decided on a massive road trip to the most northern part of the state - the Kimberley. An area we have never explored, but had always been on the to do list. We travelled through the towns of Mount Magnet, Newman, Port Hedland, Broome, Halls Creek, Kununurra, back to Broome, Karratha, Exmouth, Denham, Geraldton and back home to Perth. It certainly was a very quick trip for the distance covered, over 8,000 kilometres in total, we saw a lot in such a short space of time, but barely scratched the surface of what’s out in these parts.

We would like to thank the individual COs for hiding the caches throughout these parts, from the towns to the highways and byways. Thank you for choosing to share these locations with us and we appreciate the effort you have gone to. Thanks for the fun.

On the way from Darwin to Perth, the caches were a welcome stop.
Some could be found quickly, others I searched longer.
Thanks for hiding.

Having spent a few days in Broome it was time to do this multi.
I have visited most of these places so it was good to come back and re visit them to get what’s required.
At GZ I had been there a couple of days ago to take in the view and take a few pics of all of the great colours that make up this fantastic place.
A bit of a search as the cache could have been anywhere but eventually I noticed some rocks and there was the lid and logbook which I soon added my name to.
Thanks for showing me around this beautiful town and as they say I will be back.
Thanks JigJam Clan TFTC.

Having been all over the town, when we read through the way points, we discovered that even though one if the way points was not doable, we realised we had the necessary info for the final way point from a previous cache. And we were going to be in the area the next day doing an earthcache, so we went straight to gz. Searched high and low and was beginning to doubt our previous confidence as there was no cache to match the description to be found. Read over a few logs and must own to using the spoiler pic. Without it, we would be logging a dnf as there were so many places to search. We found the lid log book and a tiny green plastic creature. Definitely needs a new Container. A fave for such a well structured multi. Tftc

Hello from England! We have completed an amazing great circular road trip from Broome to the Bungle Bungles and back along the Gibb River Road, and are now in town for some r&r before flying home.

Today we had a nice tour of Broome thanks to this multi. Having read that stage 1 may no longer exist, we used a little logic/algebra [:p] to deduce where stage 2 might be, and that proved correct! So we drove around visiting both historic and scenic areas until we reached GZ. Here we found the cache...but in bits [:o] as it looks like it has been muggled. We retrieved the log book, lid and a plastic crocodile...and could see the container but even with our hiking stick we couldn't reach in/down enough. As such we have placed the log book under the lid, and weighted it down with a mini cairn of triangular rocks. As we are not sure if the CO is still active, perhaps the next finder might wish to bring a fresh container along? Thanks for the tour, though. [10340]

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

the only thing at the pisted coordinates is a very big garden bed. needs maintenance.

New streetscape installed by the shire. First marker missing

A Christmas eve treat .... TFTC

Due to the fact that the road is dug up and fencing all around the Gz we couldn't get the coords. Thyc anyway.

I was passing through Broome on a 'recovery' day after a hiking trip through the Kimberleys. Managed to get through the first four waypoints by foot. At that point realised why you recommend a car! Anyway, As this had taken a reasonable time I didn't really feel up to continuing the walk (I mean - there is a certain amount of 'recovering' that is supposed to occur on a recovery day) so have saved the information so far in case I ever make it back this way.

Given that we had been to all the waypoints previously during our trip, including within a metre of the cache itself earlier in the day before we knew it was there, we didn't feel too bad about going straight to the finale this afternoon. We spotted the cache about 9m from our GZ but in this terrain it is hard to get a fix. This is a great multi tour. TFTC!

Well our kayaking tour was cancelled so we were looking for something to do today. This multi fit the bill perfectly. TFTC (and the sunburn).

Great time finally finding the cache and interesting place .

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 9844. We found this as part of our 2018 Round Australia trip.

Found this one on a bit of a tour around town this afternoon. We actually worked out the GZ based on some photos we took the other day fairly early on but enjoyed the tour of the town to some beautiful and historic locations. I was surprised to have to come back to a location that I'd been to before. The cache was found fairly quickly.

Thanks JigJam Clan for the cache.

We enjoyed this sightseeing tour in Broome very much. Even though we knew already before which stages must be where, we visited them all and collected the required information. The only issue was finding the hide at the final coordinates. Almost one hour of searching led to no success yesterday afternoon. In the evening I checked all the log photos, and one of them was a real spoiler Today it was a quick find. Definitely deserves an FP.

TFTC!

A quick find while in town on a great holiday.
TFTC and the mini tour!

Day 5 of The Northern Adventure with megawat60 and Two + Four. After not quite getting there last year, this time we finally worked out some coordinates and were very happy when Mrs 2+4 said “got it”. Thanks for the cache and the tour!

Out with m4yb and the Two+Four team on our way north. Another one not gained last year but with some more calls and another worthwhile tour Mrs 2+4 made the find and I did signing duties.
Thanks for the hide & smiley

An adventure with MY4B and Megawat60 finding this cache a nice quick find once at GZ. Thanks for bringing us here

Loved all the different places this multi took us to in Broome.
We did it over a few days as when we arrived at a WP we always stayed a while to have a look around.
The finals were a great location and we were lucky enough to arrive just on sunset so we saw a fantastic rising of the moon.
TFTC and the tour around town.
Happy to give it a favourite point from us.

[:o)]

Nice way to spend an little time, learning about the locals and what they achieved. A very interesting town, And also a very interesting cache for showing these spots.

___________________________________________________________________

Thanks JigJam Clan for bringing me to this location. I found the cache at 2:32:00 PM. This was my Find 2 for today out of a Total number of 3 Finds and 0 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 4022.

Started this cache on our first night and didn’t have transport so came back today to complete! Nice journey around Broome!
TFTC

Found it eventually! Tftc, interesting tour.

A great multi for a Sunday morning/arvo. I arrived at the final GZ and realised that I walked straight passed here yesterday! It was getting very hot so I sat down in the shade for a bit and thats when I spotted it! Thanks for showing me around town JigJam Clan

A great way to explore Broome on a quiet sunday morning

Well we arrived in Broome last night in not the way or as late as we thought. Took us 12 hours to drive 450km

After spending this morning on the phone with insurance we then could get out and find a few caches. Did want to do all of them in the area but ran out of time as caching wasn't our top priority

I have to admit I took the easy approach to this one and only needed to go to get information for TUV, also took a stab in the dark with Z tho that wasn't hard as it could only really take you to one location from how your question reads.
Probably also helps I've been to Broome three times before but all pre caching days.

Muggle and I went to where I worked out for the final GZ and Lo and behold there was the cache.
After finding it we enjoyed the surrounding area

TFTC

Worthy of a favourite point

This was a fantastic multi! Great morning exploring around our home town

This would have to be the biggest Multi I have done in a while. We started yesterday and I thought it may take us on a wlak around the town but when I put the coords in for the next way point and saw it was 1.5km away I decided to give it away. Today we were at the location of the first waypoint and we had a bit of time to spare so we decided to do it..
The final GZ was a place we had walked within 1 metre of earlier this morning. Tok a few minutes to finally locate the cache.
TFTC JigJam Clan
Took Geocoin

This was a great cache, team lillieb05 did this over a few days around all the other experiences. The questions made it easy to work out where we were heading but we followed your instructions and got to see some great sites around Broome. The final was found by team quokka (geocaching family challenge) and takes the lead by three. Took the path tag left a cool toy. Also left a tb for further journeys.

Great multi, a nice way to explore Broome as this is our first time here. Thank you for the cache JigJam Clan, left a pathtag.

Noticing this one had a few favourite points we decide to get up very early this morning and try our luck before leaving Broome. We couldn't believe our eyes when we got out to find a thick fog blanketing the area but this had lifted long before we had finished the multi.
We really enjoyed this one, it was really well put together and highlighted some very interesting locations around Broome. We had a little bit of trouble with Z but a little bit of lateral thinking soon had us heading to a likely location for the next step.
We sorted out the final co-ords and headed off to gz and here we were greeted with some more stunning views and even better the well hidden cache was located in the third place we looked.
Many thanks JigJam Clan for a really enjoyable multi, we liked every location and are adding another favourite point to the list.

Wow what a ride thanks was really good to get out and explore Broome.

Really enjoyed doing this multi, took us to most of the points of interest in Broome that we wanted to visit, so was great! Thanks for taking the time to set it all up. Well worth doing and favourite from us

Having claimed smilies for most of the other Broome caches we enjoyed our tour of town to acrue the info for the final coordinates. They took us to a beautiful spot that agreed with the hint. A few minutes at GZ and a lady muggle decided that if we were looking for something she would help. She finally no sooner left and three fellows approached so as we were also about to leave town to continue our trip it seemed that the only option was to post a DNF. Maybe some other time.
Thanks Jigjam Clan

Ah that was great!!! Late night mission, found just on midnight haha. Thanks heaps for this, I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for the tour Jigjam clan. Had an enjoyable run around over a couple of days. (Went over some old ground) but hey thats half the fun and our fault for pausing half way thru. Lovely spot to end the journey. Signed the log and then went off to try a bit of fishing close by.

Picked up a TB as well.

Another one done. Woo Hoo! I love the challenge of the geocache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. This is an amazing world-wide game of hide and seek. I love it! I also enjoy caching with my family, and meeting fellow cachers. It really is a small world when I read over cache logs. **Thanks go to JigJam Clan** for placing this cache and maintaining it. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and much appreciated.

I collected the required info the day before. Process of elimination was needed to work out Z. Not too hard really. You only need one number and you've got 10 to choose from. Try them!

I ventured out the day before to collect the required data for TUV, and decided to make the find right on sun rise today. I enjoyed finding this one at 6:25:50 AM. Dropped TB "Cruisin"
TFTC! Cheers. *Jump Pilot*

This Multi started well. First WP found and admired, info gathered.
WP2 found, info gathered, great spot.
Ditto next waypoint.
Then drove a few kms to the next one. Which is where we came unstuck. The info for Z is not there as others have posted, we were running out of time and daylight to even have a guess.
So sadly had to give up without a smiley after quitw a bit of running around. The spots are nice but we had already visited them.
Will put a NM but as the CO seems to be inactive (sadly a trend in the North), not sure if it will happen.
Thanks anyway.

I can only ditto m4yb's comments, such a shame that the CO appears no longer active. Good concept but no joy for us! Pity we couldn't get full coverage of such a small town cache wise.

As other cachers have stated, the info for Z is missing.
