WanAus 77 - Kirup Memorial Park Gun Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

WanderingAus: Sadly the current crop of cachers don't seem to understand the need for, or even the meaning of, STEALTH. I swung by, confirmed it was missing, and decided it wasn't worth replacing.

Geocache Description:

An easy find on a gun in the local memorial park.

I was Wandering around the SouthWest of WA and found this excellent Quick Firing 25 Pounder Field Gun in the Memorial Park in Kirup. I immediately thought of claiming RSL War Artefacts/Memorabilia by MADSTARS.



MADSTARS offers extra points for his cache if the finder also places a cache on the War Artefact, so I had come equipped for just such an eventuality. After a quick saturation check (nothing within 10 kilometres by my calculation) I determined that I could place a cache on this Gun. I hid a magnetic key container containing only a logbook somewhere in the Gun.

Update 4 May 2013
The cache is now a magnetic Eclipse mint tin,with finders cards, a pencil, and a sharpener.

This cache is part of a series leading towards my GC1QYV5 WanAus 89 - Roaming Western Australia cache. There is an RWA number in the back of the log book. You will need to record this number in the format 77? (from WanAus 77 and ? for the RWA number) for future reference.

If you are heading out to hunt down some of my more remote GC1QYV5 WanAus 89 - Roaming Western Australia or GC29MXD WanAus 179 - Discover Western Australia caches, where the cache density is very low, why not consider taking a few prepared containers with you, stocked with log book and swaps etc, and when you spot one of those places that make you think "that would be a good place for a cache", place one of your own. Just check that there isn't a cache within 160 metres, and please don't place a micro in the bush where you could easily conceal an ammo box or Milo tin.

After six DNFs I was ready to do the 600 Km round trip to check on it AGAIN, so I was very happy to see a couple of smiley faces.
