Could not locate any part of the hide. Replaced cache without host for now. 
 
26-Oct-24
#6025 Found while walking the streets of Snowtown with the geohounds while we take a break travelling between Port Pirie and Mannum. Interesting cache hide here, a fave from us for uniqueness. TFTC BIGBADBRADLEY. 
 
#6024 Well we signed the log, because that is what you must do to claim the find... We dropped into Snowtown on our travels and walked the streets finding a few caches. Interesting town, very quiet on this Saturday morning, half a ghost town vibe here. Some nice historic buildings here and there. TFTC, Tk2, a nice hide here and thankfully we remembered an essential TOTT. 
 
#6026 Quick find here while walking the geohounds around the streets of Snowtown. TFTC Gum-Ako. 
 
#6027 From the property boundary had to squint slightly to read the clues in the bright sunlight with slowly aging and failing eyesight (Probably due for another eye test come to think of it). Popped over to gz nearby walked a near circle and then spotted the hide! TFTC equipe de cinq. 
 
25-Oct-24
#6013 Left Streaky Bay this morning en route for Port Pirie as we head towards home in NE Victoria. A good opportunity to get out here and stretch the legs and find a cache. We achieved both! An interesting piece of history and memorial marking the event. Had to widen our search slightly to find the cache. Dropped in a couple of TB's. 
 
#6016 Quickest finds here as we enjoy a walk around town with the geohounds. Making our way home from our 2 month long WA adventure to NE Victoria and staying a night in Port Pirie enroute. TFTC desertfox41. 
 
#6015 Found this on a walk around town with the geohounds whilst also completing an AdLab. Mrs BGF soon sussed out the hide once we got to gz. Nice hide here and an interesting looking musuem that is unfortunately currently closed for reno's. TFTC Ferret52. 
 
#6014 Staying a night in town we decided to go for a walk around town with the geohounds to explore the area. Enjoyed the adjacent park before descending on gz for a quick find here. TFTC Travelling Sister. 
 
#6023 Staying in town for a night on our way home from WA to NE Victoria. Quickly popped across the road while waiting for some take away dinner to look at the shiny memorial. TFTC Ferret52. 
 
22-Oct-24
#6012 We made it back across the Nullabor after our WA adventure and spending a good part of week in Streaky relaxing before heading home to NE Victoria. It is near on a year since we were last in Streaky Bay but didn't visit the waterhole or do this cache on that occasion. We corrected that today. TFTC Megatrick.

#6005 Answers sent. Visiting from NE Victoria and enjoying our first time in WA. We walked from the wave to Hippos Yawn. Great name for this feature. Not too many muggles about to interfere with photo opportunities today. TFTEC Diadem. 
 
#6006 Answers sent. We did the big loop walk with the geohounds and passed by Magic Lake. The lake is full at the moment and color during our visit was amazing. Pretty deserted around these parts, wasn't sure if the nearby resort was open and the salt pool looks like it needs some work as it is looking a bit tired and weathered. TFTEC Diadem. 
 
#6007 Found this nice hide doing the loop walk incorporating Lake Magic, Wave Rock and Hippos Yawn with the geopooches. Lake is full and a vibrant blue color today. Certainly is an interesting area. TFTC WheatbeltScience. 
 
#6004 Answers sent. Visiting from NE Victoria it was exciting to finally see wave rock with our own eyes. Mr BGF remembers as a kid (many moons ago) seeing photos of this iconic place. For some reason imagined it would be longer but nonetheless this is a spectacular formation that did not disappoint. TFTEC davonchi.

#6002 A matter of approaching from the right direction but found without too much trouble. Loved our brief time here exploring the area. Still a slight trickle of water in the creek nearby. TFTC DevilDog3. 
 
#6003 Nabbed this one after a visit to nearby Sandford Rocks. Parked safely off the road in what is a pretty deep ditch. Then fought through the thick roadside vegetation before making the find. No injuries sustained. TFTC Teamdjbilo. 
 
#6001 Logging with permission. Ventured into this beautiful area on a warm day where no one else was around. Explored some of the walks traversing the rock before returning back towards gz to undertake the necessary studies. Just a bit late to see the area in all its flora beauty but it is evident that the area has great biodiversity. Extraordinarily peaceful out here today. TFTEC Chisval7, a fave from us.

FTF @ 1035 LTF 
 
#5997 Surprise FTF! We were travelling between Geraldton to Westonia as we start to make our way home to NE Victoria with van in tow. As we were passing through Carnamah a flash of orange caught the peripheral vision of Mr BGF and he was quoted to say "Oh my gosh, look at that!?!" Although not scheduled we had to stop and get up closer. We then discovered there was a cache hide here and after a quick search we made the find and made the initial mark on the logsheet. TFTC Team Outnabout. 
 
#5996 Making our way home now back to NE Victoria after a couple of months towing our van around WA. Had to stop at the bakery across the road as we had read great things about it. It did not disappoint. After stuffing our faces we made the find here without too much issue. TFTC TheBrennnan5. 
 
#5999 Found this after visiting the actual mine look out. That is a big hole in the ground! Interesting that this now only an underground gold mine operation now. Wonder if the pit will be rehabilitated in any way? TFTC PollyMichele. 
 
#5998 Nice hide here but the hint threw us off track for a bit. Enjoying a couple of days in Westonia as we slowly make our way home to NE Victoria. TFTC PollyMichele. 
 
#6000 It has been great we were able to bring up this milestone during our WA Adventure but only just as we are now on our way back home to NE Victoria. Took quite a search here but Mrs BGF came up with the goods. Loving our short stay in Westonia, a lovely little town and the museum is a great place to visit. TFTC WheatbeltScience.

#5992 Our last day camping in Greenough area. Taking it easy visiting a few local sites and resting for our big journey home back to NE Victoria. The cemetery caught our eye the other day driving past so we made this a target for further exploring. Enjoyed our time here and completing this cache. Lots of weeds at gz but the cache was found without issue. TFTC Team OUtnabout. 
 
#5994 Our last day camping in Greenough area. Taking it easy visiting a few local sites and resting for our big journey home back to NE Victoria. After visiting the cemetery we made the find in the median strip of the dual highway. Signed the fresh new log and replaced as found. TFTC Team Outnabout. 
 
#5989 Our last day camping in Greenough area. Taking it easy visiting a few local sites and resting for our big journey home back to NE Victoria. Found fairyland but could not locate a cache. Unlike others, we will NOT claim a find here. Perhaps CO could confirm whether cache is actually still in fact in place. 
 
#5993 Our last day camping in Greenough area. Taking it easy visiting a few local sites and resting for our big journey home back to NE Victoria. The cemetery caught our eye the other day driving past so we made this a target for further exploring. Quick find here after exploring the area. Log is very wet! TFTC. 
 
Couldn't locate this one today. Noted it hasn't been found for a few months so perhaps it is hiding somewhere amongst the Spring grass growth. Amazing tree! 
 
#5990 Our last day camping in Greenough area. Taking it easy visiting a few local sites and resting for our big journey home back to NE Victoria. Found this during a morning walk along the trail with the geohounds. Another interesting hide, not sure it is functioning properly but we were able to operate it to retrieve the log. TFTC. 
 
#5989 Our last day camping in Greenough area. Taking it easy visiting a few local sites and resting for our big journey home back to NE Victoria. Found this during a morning walk along the trail with the geohounds. Loved the design here, although a bit weathered now. Took a little time to work out. Fave from us. TFTC! 
 
#5991 Our last day camping in Greenough area. Taking it easy visiting a few local sites and resting for our big journey home back to NE Victoria. Found this during a morning walk along the trail with the geohounds. Loved this design and concept here. Could do with some maintenance as it is not quite functioning correctly. TFTC. 
 
#5995 Our last day camping in Greenough area. Taking it easy visiting a few local sites and resting for our big journey home back to NE Victoria. We couldn't drive past the biggest cache in WA so we stopped by and soon put our paws on the log. Loved the line of trees on a lean along the driveway nearby. TFTC Team Outnabout. Took the TB.

#5888 A flying visit to Kalbarri today as the geodoggies were in day care back at Geraldton so we were constantly under time pressures. Last find of the day as we head back down the coast. Mrs BGF was the one to make the find of the sneaky sneaky hide. In fact Mr BGF gave up on this one. Fave point for execution and speccy lookout. TFTC Nolsey27. 
 
#5886 A flying visit to Kalbarri today as the geodoggies were in day care back at Geraldton so we were constantly under time pressures. Nabbed this one when returning from Natures Window. Lots of muggles around but managed to find a gap in the traffic. TFTC Akkedis. 
 
#5885 Logging with permission. A flying visit to Kalbarri today as the geodoggies were in day care back at Geraldton so we were constantly under time pressures. After hanging out (literally) at the skywalk we ventured down to Natures Window where there was a long queue of muggle tourists for a photo op. We continued down the track for a bit looking around at the stunning scenery before returning to gz to find a shorter a queue. We took a few photos and got our pic through the Peek-a-boo taken by a lovely Perth couple. The geology and formations are fascinating and spectacular. This is certainly a WOW location, a fave from us! TFTEC TeamThommo. 
 
#5887 Answers Sent. A flying visit to Kalbarri today as the geodoggies were in day care back at Geraldton so we were constantly under time pressures. This was the last area we visited in the Park before heading to town for lunch. Hot footed down the path to gz and we were blown away with the area and views into the gorge below. Simply speccy! TFTEC Matthias999.

#5939 Near to our camp for a few days this place caught our eye driving past. Today we came back to fully explore it and undertake the self guide tour. Well worth it, some fascinating history and collection of items and stories. We particularly like visiting these type of places on our adventures and the geodogs were welcome! Both WA and SA showcase its history so much better than Victoria where we live. TFTC Squash2. 
 
#5954 Had no idea about this tragedy. Very sad and significant in Australia's history. A great AdLab and an excellent hide for this bonus well away from any muggle eyes. Fave from us. TFTC Barnzy12. 
 
#5962 Found by Mr BGF and the geohound team members on a late afternoon walk and explore of the foreshore area. We went to the shipwrecks museum in Fremantle which was just amazing with the highlight being the Batavia exhibition. TFTC Miss-Placed, nice hide here. 
 
#5961 Cheeky and sneaky hide here. Only found after referencing a handy photo uploaded by the CO. Replaced as found. TFTC and highlighting some interesting history nearby. FP from us. 
 
#5941 Camping at Greenough we spent today having a bit of an explore around the local area. We visited the pools which were popular today. Popular with flies too! Cool cliffs. This is the only cache we grabbed in the area today, the others looked a bit too snakey to access. Dropped off a TB. TFTC Moidya. 
 
#5960 Had no idea this was an FTF until logging this a few days later! FTF @ 1601! What a sneaky sneaky hide that Mrs BGF discovered after the team visited the nearby sphere. Great hide and name for the cache. TFTC Smashly Adams, FP from us. 
 
#5940 Some more fascinating local history. Took longer to locate the cache than it should have! Got there in the end. The river bed is as dry as a bone today. TFTC Team Outnabout. 
 
#5953 Amazing space with lovely views. Loved our time here exploring the memorial site. Thanks for the virtual Team Red Roo. 
 
#5942 Glad we stopped at the top of the hill for this one. A brilliant hide that nearly had us fooled, but Mrs BGF managed to eventually extract it. Amazing to see the size of a blade from a wind turbine up close, but why are most of the turbines not turning today? There is wind! A fave point for one of the best hides we have come across. TFTC Team Outnabout.

#5938 Cute cache and hidey cave. In town for lunch and water supplies as we move up the coast towards Geraldton on our WA adventures in a caravan (visiting from NE Victoria). TFTC kyliejw, an excellent first hide. 
 
#5937 On the move again today on our WA adventure (visiting from NE Victoria). Left our camp at Cevantes and heading to Greenough just south of Geraldton. Stopped by this town for lunch and to grab a couple of caches including this one. Interesting area including the nearby obelisk. TFTC smoothieshake
