Geocache Description:

An easy single offset multicache leading to remnant bushland.

Due to the temporary nature of pens and pencils in my geocaches
BRING YOUR OWN WRITING IMPLEMENT!!!

Don't let the cache name mislead you, it is a few kilometres north of the city and nowhere near Ballidu. It was meant to be placed on a 6 day trip which took me past Dalwallinu hunting down FTFs before looping around placing ten caches over a 600 Km plus arc before ending up in Bunbury for the GC1N931 Village, Forest, Sea - Easter Brekkie Bash by richlink. Unfortunately I screwed that up by leaving my medication at home , so after claiming two FTFs I had to drive the 300 odd Km home, so ten caches never got placed.

Since I had already printed and laminated the First, Second, Third and Fourth To Find cards, plus 36 Finders Cards, for each of the 10 caches, I decided I had to start placing them. Two were placed a couple of days ago, both within about 100 Km of home, by driving just over 300 Km. Three will be placed in the SouthWest in a couple of weeks. The remaining five will be placed at places that just happen to have street names that match the names of the caches. This is one of those.

The cache is not at the above coords, but they will take you to Ballidu Court, to a powerful piece of infrastructure bearing what WAS a vertical five digit number ABCDE. The second digit (9) is missing or hard to read, so you now need to assign the remaining four digits to ACDE, which will give you A9CDE.

The cache will be found at S31 52.ABC + 63 E115 52.CDE - 326

There is no need to bush bash as a path leads to within a short distance of the cache.

Update 15 Dec 09
The cache is a drab painted 1 Kg screw-top fruit container hidden in the obvious place.


This cache is part of a series leading towards my GC1RN04 WanAus 103 - Bonus Box cache. You will need to record this number in the format 73? (from WanAus 73 and ? for the BB number) for future reference.

This is just a suggestion, but it may help you to keep track of the BB numbers.
Every cache page has "*Personal Cache Note" *Click to enter a note, just above Geocache Description:
You could either add the code to each individual cache, or add all numbers to GC1RN04 WanAus 103 - Bonus Box.

When trading items please consider trading up or trading even and leaving items that you would want to find, and please don't take the pen, pencils or sharpener. If you can't trade up or trade even I don't mind seeing TNLNSL in the log. Also please don't put the pen or pencils in the log book bag, it tends to destroy the watertight integrity.

Trackables (geocoins and travel bugs) are not tradeable items. Please feel free to take them without making a trade, but please leave a note in the logbook and your online log, and do log them online.
