WOZ or West Australia

With a motorhome swap, we had a 3 week tour from Perth 5 years ago.
I have been reviewing trips photos etc.
In particular i "Geocache" well not exactly but I do like to record locations. Today I noticed that I did not have a location for "Roy's Camp near Albany".
I do now.
Albany was the furthest east we went..more details ahead.
For now
-35.029405, 117.741854

35°01'45.9"S 117°44'30.7"E · -35.029417, 117.741861

Almost a wild camp. We had to drive into Albany for waste disposal.
A challenge to find both at the time and again today.
I know the location is accurate as we both rememger tha "workshop/garage opposite" The other photos were here https://goo.gl/maps/9cwkzWR31rAREp256

In particular i "Geocache" well not exactly

Seeing this reminded me of a couple we met in France who where tracking Geocaches we went with them one afternoon and it was interesting to see the couple of finds they found and where others came from who had already found them and the treasures they'd left Kiwi key rings in one
Anyone here take part in it

Ten years ago we spent a lot of time on free camp sites around Albany. Cosy corner (20m west) has Elsan and water. East bay (30m east) is a special place, great fishing and scenery.

Geo-caching is very similar to what was (maybe still is) popular on Dartmoor, which is known as letterboxing. I’ve never done it, but I once stumbled across a hidden Tupperware box under a large granite rock with a few oddments and a notebook within, and realised that it was a ‘letterbox’

No 2 Sue's Bridge

Yes Retracing trips is Good !
I picked Roy's camp as the first as it was the most difficult to find again.. I usually record locations at the time using my maps and the import into "Google my Maps", together with other POI.
We particularly liked "Sue's. Bridge Camp"..

As you see nice and rustic with a fire-pit and stream

Aussie is certainly a bit different and memories stick well. But there is barely much white man history there so really makes it quite clinical as others did nowt, some amazing animal wildlife though!

One of the downsides of WA

Luckily didnt get as far as our property

 

[jagmanx]

Yes,
We though we might go as far east as Esperance but it would have been too far.
Also lots of bush fires in late 2015....OR is that a dust storm / whirlwind ?
As it was our distance travelled was good.

Ayr Sailean (Saileen) very nice campsite on a sheep farm
The nearer large green builing is the kitchen/diner. beyond the toilets/shower.

Nice town with camping shop ..we bough our "dutch oven" here !
Again great facilities. We did a nice local tour as well.
