South for Cache

We decided it was about time we went down south of our home state of Western Australia to do a bit of geocaching. There are so many little towns and most have at least one cache and the bigger towns have hundreds.
We started the journey on Sunday, Steve had worked hard and uploaded all the caches we were going to do on the way the night before. Our first stop was on the Bibblumun Track not far from North Bannister and we collected our 161st find. From  there we wandered through Wandering, we've always wondered about Wandering, haha. Then east towards Codjatotine, a place I had never heard of, there is no town there anymore it's all farmland.

       This photo was taken on a track to Lol Gray. This lookout built in 1930 was used to spot bush fires.

From here we went to Narrogin to try and do a cache we had tried before when my sister Vicki was with us. It was a multi (two parts) so we did the numbers again and ended up at the same spot. We sat down to check the logs on the GPS, Steve reached his hand around behind him and there it was. Don't know how we missed it last time.
  
Next was a stop in  Wagin a very pretty little town. This cache was called Baa Ram Ewe.

From there we had a couple of stops along the way that weren't really town sites more farming area's. These were Boyerine, Marracoonda and then the town of Woodanilling
Church at Marracoonda
Our last stop for the day was Katanning. We were searching everywhere for the cache. We were a bit tired by now so it took us a while.
Me checking under the Chevy again
Steve checking logs AGAIN!!
We stayed at the New Lodge Motel. Quite a nice little place. Had everything we needed especially a nice hot shower.
