Burnabbie |
-32o 7.6330' |
126o 20.5398' |
This is the first time capsule hidden and is located near the ruins at
Burnabbie. The actual time capsule is located at the base of an old
telegraph pole on the right hand side of the track as you drive into
Burnabbie. It is the last pole before the ruins. (Hmm That feels good, does doesn't it) Hidden 2012 |

This time capsule is hidden under a
pile of rocks halfway up a hill from a campsite in a little gully
between two hills. It is close to the southern end of the old township,
but on the western hills. Dad was here when this was hidden, he wrote a note which is stored there. Hidden 2012 |
Woodlines East of Norseman |
-31o 46.6398' |
122o 18.9775' |
This capsule is buried at one of the
old main camps on the woodlines. There is a lot of litter around this
site. The capsule was buried and the hidden under a piece of metal. But
the is no certainty that this will be there when you look for it. Hidden 1/4/2013 |
Big Bell |
-27o 20.5056' |
117o 39.9086' |
For us, Big Bell has always held a fascination,
since we first went there when I was about 10, around 1969. Since
about 2009 we have been camping at the eastern end of town near some
sheoaks. The capsule was buried at this campsite under the shade of the
trees. An old bike chain was buried above the capsule, so that it might
be easier to find with a metal detector (that is if you don't have
something more sophisticated to locate old treasures). Hidden 2/6/2013 |
Mt Palmer | -31o 24.151' | 119o 40.674 | This
is another one I had forgotten about. From the date it was
hidden, it is not long after Dad died, and is when we launched
him accross the town in a rocket from near the old hotel. Hidden 22/3/2014 |
Woodlines (Again, because we love it out there) | -31o 41.890' | 122o 7.860' | This
one is hidden at a camp site we made whilst looking for old railway
tracks in the bush. It is slightly east of the existing north south
track and a few kilomteres west of an old woodlines camp. Hidden 18/7/2014 |
Damperwah | -29o 17.95' | 116o 41.074' | I
had actually forgotten about this timecapsule. It is hidden near the
old ruins at the Damperwah agricultural trial station east of
Perenjori. This is a beaut place to camp and is a good first stopping
place when looking for wildflowers, though this year we missed them by
a few weeks. Hidden 27/9/2014 |
DME Hill Wittenoom | -22o18.394 | 118o 17.895 | This
is hedden in a rock cairn nehind the old burnt out ruins of the
equipment room. Spectacular views, but a 4WD is needed to get in in, of
course. Hidden 20/6/2015 |
Corunna Downs | -21o 26.2455 | 119o 46.7903 | Visit
the old WWII airforce base and climb the rocky outcrop. When you find
the time capsule you are probably standing in what was once an
observation pots. Hidden 24/6/2015 |
