Out caching this fine day. Started out finding a newly released moveable, was on the way here. its been a long time since I have been up to this lookout over the city. For some reason it took me a long time to find the marker. Dont ask how I missed it as its obvious, just having one of those days. After this I headed out into the John Forrest national park to find a few caches. The wild flowers are really starting to put on a good display. Very Happy Well worth the visit.

I headed over to WA to visit my sister and my new niece. Today we all decided to head out for a drive to York and cache along the way. We found 20GC and 3 GCA for the day. Not too bad with a newborn in tow.

Had a bit of a walk up to this one but certainly worth it. Mind you I nearly snapped the wrong thing.

Might be my second last caching day in WA for some time to come. This was the first find of the day and a previous DNF now tidied up. Great views and a nice stroll to the trig.

I took advantage of the lovely afternoon today to snare a few caches after work, and this is one I've been meaning to do for a very long time, and the GeoSportz game was a good motivator. A lovely ride out here from the carpark 800m away, and a relatively quick find, and lovely city views to boot.

Thanks for the cache Geocaching Australia!

What a fabulous walk out to this spot today. The wildflowers were all over and so many different ones. We took ages to walk back as we took so many photographs along the way. Great views from the trig too.

YES, found @ 2005. Got to GZ, and there was a couple enjoying the lovely evening. When I mentioned that I was looking for something that surveyors would use the young man pointed out the embedded mark on the ground, which I probably would have overlooked (not wanting to intrude on their moment). Got a couple of photos

The log by blingg reminded me that I had done a few trigs that were not in the system and had forgotten to add them so now I'm going into my GPS backups to collect the images and coordinates and get them in. (At least I don't have to add this trig.)

With this one I had to go to Midland and after had gone up the hill to find this trig point as I had identified it on a couple of topo maps and hadn't seen it on the GCA trig list.
