We looked all around for quite some time, but couldn't locate the container . Read the clue and read some logs and looked some more - all to no avail [B)].
Looks like another one we'll have to come back to .
Thanks anyway Psalm 118:24, Ginger Ninja & Bright Stars.

All was not well at Tickera.
Looked around, then returned and looked again at GZ and at Mr Hurtle's coordinates too.
Plenty of good spots, and a likely rock, but might have gone missing.
Or we may be getting tired [:(!]
No sign of this one today.
Thanks for the challenge Psalm 118:24 ,
will place on the watch list and return asap when it's been found or maintained!

Have replaced both container & logbook. It’s now a small sistema container in original position.
This picnic area will be beautiful once they have finished it and nice the well is preserved. Thanks for the cache
Another assault by a few of the Puzzled Puzzlers targeting the Yorke and surrounding areas. With the the great weather today a number of previous DNF's were turned into smileys and many others were turned into those nice yellow found icons on the map. Thanks also to the extra pair of Starfish eyes.
With only two in the group needing to find this one it took longer than it should but then the co ords were a long way off. some 14 meters away. The container needs replacing as the lid no longer exisits and we did not have a replacement.

A Starfish, Rat and Adder were on their Wednesday caching trip.
WE had many laughs and adventures today.
With only the Rat and Adder needing this one.
It took longer to find than it should have.
The Adder eventually found the cache some meters from GZ.
The cache container needs some TLC. Tftc

Day 6 of our rest, relaxation and rejuvination week. Beautiful weather today although every muscle hurts from trying to keep up with the kids. After a day of dusty mining history yesterday today we opted to stick nearer water and enjoy the sea breeze and views while collecting seashells. Tftc
Another day out using caching as a tour guide. We enjoyed the day driving mainly along the coastal tracks, enjoying the scenic views, which are quite different to the coast where we live. I signed all todays logs as the 14th...oops
A nice quick find after absorbing the views and history. Thanks for the cache.

We have commenced Part 2 of our holiday. Part 1 was Easter at Morisset and we came home to sort out some family business. Now we are heading to South Australia instead.
After a comfortable night in the Port Broughton caravan park which was worth the trip alone for we set off to visit Wallaroo via some backroads. We set off for the day picking up caches as they popped up.

Nice bit of history at this location and views over the beach from the gully. People wading for blue swimmer crabs. Container open to view, but in good condition. Wonder if it has moved? Left in situ with a little cover. Thanks for bringing us here. Tftc
Found while filling in the gaps between Tickera and Wallaroo. Great piece of history, a fav from me. TNLNSL. Thanks for the hide.
We hopped fences, crossed roads, climbed tree's and hopped around like gooses, we collected many smilies while on this trip
Geocaching has given us many pleasures and this cache was one of them. Thanks to each and every team for placing caches for us to find during our short visit.

Away for the long weekend for some much needed C&C&C with SnappyTomCats & GetNict
(Cache, Coffee, Cake in this case though food)
We got a nice house on North Beach Wallaroo for our base for the weekend. Great spot to watch the storm roll in over the bay. Mother nature is a weird and wonderful creature. After the storms we headed off in various directions in and around wallaroo and nearby tickera to collect some smileys, we had no plan just to cache and relax.
This cache was one of many found during our weekend. Thankyou for placing it for us to find
I do believe that this storm as wreaked some havoc on the caches in the area with a few requiring maintenance.
Day two of our weekend away with Travellinbees. FOund this one 12m out from GZ.. Can't say I agree with a glass cache container, thanks anyway for the cache..
Found quickly. Thanks for placing here.

Cache found and log signed whilst out on a day trip from Port Broughton. Many thanks for the cache.
Grey nomading and caching our way up the middle, across the top, down to Perth and home to Adelaide for Xmas. Muggles sister spotted this one. T.F.T.C. We put a new log book in the cache.
Tftc.. no book. . Sorry didn't have one spare. . Watch out for snake in rocks .. frogs in well
Found it with CherryRose on our 6th day of our 10 days of caching fun on Yorke Peninsula and the Barossa Valley. Easy find. CherryRose did the climbing this time. TFTC SL. Left some goodies for the kids.
Found quickly loved this one even if I did have to scale the Boulders. Left some goodies. TFTC TN SL
Replaced log as old one was full and a bit chewed up,rehid the cache in a more appropriate spot out of plain sight, tftc
Today was our last day in Kadina, found some of the more local caches. Lost of backroads covered.
When you think you are going to log this as a DNF it is suddenly spotted.
We found it 14m from where our silly GPS said it should have been.
Thanks for placing this cache Psalm 118:24

A very easy find as the cache was very exposed, so filled in the log and replaced the container with more cover in an attempt to provide a little bit of a challenge for the next searcher! Tftc

Out on a great day for caching. Walked towards GZ and spotted the cache. Signed the log then replaced with more camo so it wouldn't be as exposed.

A quick and fun find in the centre of 'towne'
Crabbing central proclaimed the welocme to Tickera sign
So does everybody in town walk sideways ???
It was very quiet, so that theory never got tested [:o)]
I did find the cache,
and with a "Well, well, well", I left

All was well with the cache although the mozzies were bad here today.
Looks like there might be some much needed upgrading happening here. Thanks.

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the "land down under."
Interesting place... alway enjoy a bit of history.
Thanks for the fun Psalm 118:24!

Met up with Margieh, Dazzatron. for a couple days while staying in Kadina for weekend. Geodad quick find. TFTC
South Australia 2013 with Sol de Lune. We headed off on 12/4 and arrived home on 28/4. The trip was to visit the SA series so more time could be spent at the Mega itself next year. We did a huge variety of caching around Murray Bridge, the Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Whyalla Region. Apart from one wet night and two wet days we were able to spend heaps of time caching.
Today we were traveling to Whyalla for the FTF trail. A bit more distance and less caching, but a fun day. Everyone has done a great job of placing a great variety of caches and we had a great day.
Thanks.

Grabbed with Albida on our 2 week caching run from Canberra to, and around, different parts of South Australia including Loxton, Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend, Yorke Peninsula and around to Whyalla before heading home via Broken Hill, Cobar and Parkes. We completed a few power trails and left a couple to do when in the area again for next years Mega event.
Overall a great many different styles and types of caches found. A great time was had caching for 16 days straight as well as camping along the way.
Thanks for adding to the fun with this cache.

Closer than I expected had to ignore eratic GPS and follow insticts. All in tact. TFTC.
That was my first trip to Tickera, though I've known this place has existed for over 20 years! I had a friend in primary school who had a shack out here!
Went for a short Caching drive after a quick birthday drink.
The coords I had were 12m out but followed the footpath and put the GPS down & had a look around.
Popped the geocaching disclaimer note back into the cache as it was on the ground nearby.
Saw the carboat on the way in too!!
TFTC guys!

A nice quick find as the log was out of the cache and the cache was laying on the ground. Signed and hid where we thought it should have been. TFTC
Found It!
Coords are quite out. Hurtle's are much better. Easy find after that!

Found while out grabbing a few caches in the Tickera area. We were camped on the beach-front and enjoyed some lovely weather and also some very inclement weather. Oh well, they say that variety is the spice of life. Thanks for bringing us to this spot, and the history.
Felt like I had done this one before. Hope this isn't a duplicate log. All was well at Tickera otherwise.
Out for a days caching in the Copper triangle with CP and Aussie Mary. My GPS had me looking under the wrong rocks. CP tried closer to the cache name and came up trumps, although he could swear that was something alive in the hidey hole as well. He wasn't going to find out if it had legs or not! Thanks Psalm 118:24
GPS want helping much at the GZ so we looked around for the obvious spot (where we would have put it!) ...... and there it was!!! Thanks psalm118:24 for the hide!!
Found in company of e.gregory1 while caching in the Upper Yorke Peninsula. Thanks for the cache Psalm 118:24, Ginger Ninja and Bright Stars!
Found with FeatherWaite on a productive day's caching on the northern Yorke Peninsula. Interesting bit of history. Thanks Psalm 118:24, Ginger Ninja & Bright Stars for the cache.
Found after a nice scramble around in the bush. What a delightful little town. Thanks for the cache, would not have seen this area with out it. TNLNSL.
Found while out caching with Morrisminor72. She said "I would hide it there" as she passed it. It was about then that I (Fi) pointed out "umm... that seems to be where it IS hidden". Thanks for bringing us here - not somewhere that we've been before.
Took the long way around but enjoyed the view. Very excited muggle friend found this one - her first!TFTC!
All is well at Tickera. Out caching with 6Tayls and friends. Decided to walk down to the waters edge. What a great little place, listening and talking to the frog. Soon we had cache in hand and off we went. TFTC TNLN
Searched a while before found by Mr Bushies2 on his caching run with our dog Ned. Thanks Psalm 118:24.
Had obviously been found by Muggles. Removed their inappropriate content and signed the log. Should have brought some champagne with me to celebrate [green]Cache #1000[/green], but didn’t think of that when I set off this morning. Knew it would be today of course, but didn’t think further than that. Isn’t it surprising that the well is so close to the sea?!
Gps had me going all over the shop above it. Finally spotted after giving up. God bless.
We were so close during the event but left this one to later. Returned at our liesure after the event and got to check out the well (and drop the obligatory rock for Mr TiedyeSmileys )

Found with Frankos4 on the way home from the Copper Coast Caching JLW event! Took the wrong way first but got there in the end.
Found by torchlight, our 2nd to last for the night on our last night in the region TFTC
Great historic spot and it even has water. No wishing today though to many caches to be had. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Took a little while to find, my gps had gz 12m out, but it's an obvious location.
Found as part of the June Long weekend event, while also finding the nearby temporary cache.

Found with Burtons, yes an interesting spot. CCC 2011 Event weekend. TFTC TNLNSL Cheers
Find number 300 for *Cache_or_check*!
We were just discussing amongst ourselves what would be a suitable cache for our 300th find (after having just found 299), but first we were going to hide our second temporary cache for the JLW event. Hmmm this old well in Tickera looks a good spot and there are some nice rocks too......
So our 300th find was totally by mistake as we stumbled accross this cache without even looking for it!

Cache is definately off by about 12 metres but found it regardless. Took a look in the well but forgot to make a wish. Interesting History story of the area. Left Eiffel Tower. TFTC
Been riding thru here for 20 Odd years and didn't know about the well, Thanks TNLN.
