MS 16 - Explore WA Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

WA_Puzzler: The time has come to archive this series - five years is long enough and with so few finds, and even fewer solves, the recent fires have put the nail in the coffin for the series. At least 80% of the caches were retrieved a couple of days ago and are currently sitting on my back verandah, awaiting retrieval of the logs, and the others have been totally destroyed. Any caches out in place now are throw downs and finds on these will be deleted. Thankyou to all the geocachers who solved the puzzles and then enjoyed the finding of the caches. It really is a beautiful part of the WA bush, and a part that will forever be known as MS Land to many of us!

MS 16




Explore WA

Western Australia is a BIG and beautiful state, with lots of awesome scenery and amazing tourist attractions.




In fact, WA is fast becoming one of the world's best ecotourism based holiday destinations. It is like taking a world tour all in one place. You can find areas very similar to the plains of Arizona in the United States or the grasslands of South Africa. Parts of the South West remind some people of the English countryside and in other places like the tropical Pacific such as Hawaii or the Great Barrier Reef. Western Australia's capital city of Perth has been described as being similar to California with the relaxed lifestyle and wonderful beaches.

Western Australia is bigger than Europe and covers one third of the Australian continent, yet only two million Australians live here. As a result, you can explore pristine wilderness and natural attractions that are completely undisturbed by man - muggle or otherwise.




Below is a list of coordinates for you to work with. Now you could spend a lot of time and money driving or flying to each of the locations listed below to see what is there (and we hope you to get to visit each and every one of them some day), but there might be a faster, though less enjoyable way to do it. So much to see, and oh so little time!

But what is so special about these locations? That is the question...

Your task is to find a one or two word description for each of them. From there, the rest is pretty simple.
