Pirates Treasure Port Willunga, South Australia, Australia
By Mollypix and Aural_Culture (Maintained by Bregor) on 03-Aug-09. Waypoint GC1WQKW

Travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. Because of the booty of fave points this cache has, we were keen to find it but even with the help of a couple of visiting German cachers, we couldnt find the treasure.Thanks Molly.pix, we will put it on watch and maybe one day we will return. LNCU

Our Team met two other Cachers. And so we searched with eight eyes. But not successful .Lieb ' s Gruessli #

I do like to get a smiley on the older caches if I can and Papi and I managed it on this one. Once we had what we needed, we went to GZ and soon had the cache in hand. Love this area. Thanks for placing this cache and maintaining it for so long.

Geoturtle37 and I are taking a few days to get back home after attending the Feb 29th Mega in South Australia. GT37 wanted to get this one as she likes to find the older caches where possible. Not sure we were going to make it but eventually got what we needed, made our way to GZ and found the cache with no problems. Thanks for placing the cache for all to enjoy.

Unfortunately I couldnt find the cache today. I found the base of the container with a thread but no log and lid.Thanks to mollypix for placing this cache for the community to enjoy.

We're sure that we found it .... but no log and it's missing the lid. We searched around for the lid but no luck.

Couldnt nail it! Bugger

Looks cool, but kids sitting in amongst the caves so no luck.

Oops. The last piece of paper slipped out and I couldn’t find it among the rocks. Replaced with a new scrap.

What a wonderful place!

Lid was missing but managed to find, put lig back in for now, TFTC

Muggled out
Kids holed up at GZ

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location. ???????????? (HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do. ??????[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort. ???????? Devilish Brilliant and Clever I like it [: Another one off the list TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - ?? Azzo 7777 ??

Just ️ the SA coast!

This is a spectacular location. Logged the virtual and multi on the beach. Thx for bringing me here

Only a tiny log at GZ. Dropping off a FAVE ️

I headed to the beach today for a wander and an explore. I was not aware of the jetty or caves here, so it was fun to explore both. Indeed, I had plenty of time to explore the beach more widely, given a family was occupying the space that I wanted to search! It didn't take me too long to find in the end once the area was vacated! The log did fall to pieces though, so I ended up adding a new piece of paper torn from my notebook. TFTC Mollypix and for maintaining it Bregor

Very lucky find. I was a bit off. The hint really helped. Great cache. Cheers!

Out for the day with Pineapplegoldy!

Lots of caches found a few not.

Thank you for the cache!

Arrr! What views, and a fun hide too. Log is pretty much full, but otherwise all good here. TFTC from Tennessee, USA

Looked high and low for this one, but came up empty handed today

Three befuddled geo animals, went on a Wednesday wander.
The Rat and the Adder met the Starfish in Aldinga.
Our plan was to gather as many caches as we could.
It was tricky getting into this one.
Then a quick look and the sneaky little bugger was found. Tftc

The usual Wednesday wander of the Befuddled consisting of just the Adders and Astro. with the Starfish injuring his back and the Rat unable to join us meant that there was only the two of us available.

The target area for the day was Aldinga and surrounds. An area that had been planned previously but did not eventuate in success with many diversions seeking other hides.

As always, all caches were visited and signed by all members of the group or each member had a part to play in retrieving the prize.

All caches were in good condition unless noted otherwise.

Ouch, Ouch Ouch a few bumps and bruises on the head but no major damage (nothing to damage) for Mr Adder.

A fun hide that deservs a favourite point however the CO might want to check on the cache as only a scrap of paper in the lid was accessible.




Thank you for the cache %CacheName Mollypix (Maintained by Bregor), found 18/05/2022

Out for a mothers day trip down along the new route 31 coastal drive.

After a stop for breakfast we started off on our journey.

Was down looking at the nearby remains of the old jetty when I checked to see if there was any nearby caches, then came across this one.

Cache was quickly located. Very sneaky.

Stamped the log book and returned the cache to its hiding spot.

Thanks mollypix for this cache.

Great hide

Thanks mollypix for the cache

Awesome storage caves

Got ‘em.

Picking up furniture down south with Jolly0 and just had to do some geocaching before returning home.
After dinner caching on the beach, this was not so easy to find and lots of muggles made it more difficult. Luckily they eventually vacated the space where we needed to look and jolly0 with her eagle eyes and keen geo senses, found the cache. TFTC

After having a couple of delicious pizzas for dinner we continued our treasure hunt along the coastline.
This is such a pretty place.

Today I asked Peas&CarrotsForever to come for a drive with me down south to assist me with picking up a piece of furniture, oh and some geocaching of course. It turned out to be nearly an 8 hour round trip!! . We had a fun day

TFTC
Keep smiling

Well hidden, it was a good find

My day started a little after 5am, I rode my treadlie into the CBD to find some Virtuals, Web and Earth caches while my family slept.
Arriving back at camp just before 9, I was disappointed to see they were all still asleep But I had so many caches, I mean points of interest planned for the day and daylight hours were burning... wake up!!
We left camp about 10:30
We had a great day (well I did) we saw beautiful parts of Adelaide (I’m yet to find a bad part)
This was one of the caches we ‘found’.
Thanks for being apart of the fun.
TFTC
A fav from us.

Took the puppies for a walk along the beach, found the right cave and the empty cache. Had a small piece of paper with me so added it to the cache. Fav for the awesome location.

Found the cache!. The log is missing though

Revisited this one to see that log was missing. Will try and remember to bring a spare the next time I'm down this way.

Traveled down to the southern beaches for the afternoon with the main aim to find caches from Moana to Aldinga. The quest was successful, with a large blank area of that particular area now on my geocaching map. I enjoyed some nice beach walks, tracking along the clifftops and meandering through the scrub, with some nice easy finds, and some clever and challenging hides. Luckily I found this particular cave vacant (unlike a few of the others). Found the cache reasonably quickly but could not remove it from its spot, and in the dim light I could not work out whether the logsheet was missing or pushed to the bottom of the container and therefore unretrievable. Took a photo of the hide and container as proof of visit. Thanks for the cache Mollypix and Bregor!

Found, again no logbook though. Tftc

Found after lots of twiddling and fiddling with possible hides! Great hide, there was an interesting sand sculpture at the first location, looks like a grave! These must be lovely and cool in summer. Nano was empty of log, so CO has been notified for replacement

Originally we weren't going to attempt this cache because the wind at the top of the path was freezing. We were just too close to not attempt it even if the cold wines back at our cottage were calling our names on the breeze.

We were holidaying at McLaren Vale and all week we weren't sure which way was north but had an idea on where the cache would be. Each time we looked up to see in which direction the sun was, it was covered by clouds and we only got rain in our eyes. We needed to use a process of elimination which is also the same way you pick your favourite child without telling the others.

We scrambled in to a few holes and dug around some rocks and thankfully we check where each other has been because Mrs Woodyrothwell found it in a spot I had already been. I actually got a text message from her when I was in another spot to come back. Even though there is no log in the cache we are awarding a favourite point for bringing us to an amazing spot and making us get our inner-child on. tftc

A nice Multi here in a fun spot [^]

I loved the walk to the listed co-ords from above with all the colors and sights with the cliffs here

Did the needed steps / paces to GZ to make a quick find... the 2nd time around ha ha.
That was very sneaky!!

Found the location confirmed with PAF log book is missing but cache is there it just needs a new log book. Awesome location though

Today I headed south to Aldinga and mclarenvale to go for a bike ride and decided to collect a few caches on my way down to the area. 35 finds for the day plus a few labs.
Thanks for the cache

Tftg

I actually forgot about this one, but this was the first cache I found with the geonieces. Took them to our favourite beach for the evening & found this one by sunset. Had a beautiful time down here in the water & sand. Took them a while to find it but the eldest spotted it with her eagle eyes.

Photo is s spoiler. TFTC!

Great one! We just spent time enjoying the beach and caves as well.

Good find

Nice spot thanks!

Cheeky lil nano. TFTC TNLN
Geo kids and I loved this one

Did not know there were these interesting caves here tftc

My caching goals for 2020. May as well aim high.
Complete the Calendar to have found both a mystery and a multicache on every day. Should be able to do one probably not both. [^]
After filling the calendar to have a minimum of 5 caches per day last year, let's try for 11 this year. Possible but not probable.
Today I needed to find the works, at least 6 caches including a multicache and a mystery cache.

Sal offered to join me on an afternoon adventure if we could go and see something different. [^] So I planned an off the usual beaten tracks route down to Willunga and then to Port Willunga for a look. And now for the multicache. And just like a treasure hunt you have to pace out and look for treasure. Cool Only one place it could be! Well two really but one of them! Hoot it was! Nice and cool to be out of the sun and exploring a place I never had been before.

***Thanks mollypix for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

A beautiful morning for a walk along the beach. A nice quick find at GZ, despite being of a nano size.

Thanks for the cache mollypix.

Find #10528.

Found on a morning walk with our friends

Great fun find with the family. A lot of muggles around in various places, so we were lucky that there were none near the cache location. Looked here, looked there, and looked here again, nearly needed a PAF, but found cache. Well hidden and clever hide. Variation of a type that I had seen before. Saw some wedding photos being taken while we were searching. Fav from us. TFTC.

Today I thought I’d head south to find some of the wherigos, multis, letterboxes and puzzles around the McLaren Vale, Willunga and Aldinga areas. I also visited an earthcache and a traditional that were close by.

It ended up being a very pleasant day today after a smoky start and a bit of drizzle - quite a change from yesterday’s blustery 42 degrees! Perfect caching weather.

All of the puzzles were solved before leaving home and the multis were generally straightforward. All but one of the caches were found easily.

This was my last cache before heading home. After a short search I had ruled out the unlikely spots and soon found the nicely concealed container.

Thanks mollypix for the cache.

After the storm last night, most of the beach has been deserted - but not here .
Fortunately, GZ was free, so I took up residence for awhile .
A quick find, but dropped the log down in the rocks , so spent some additional time retrieving it.
TNLNSL.
Thanks Mollypix and Aural_Culture (and Bregor).

Sneaky!!!

Had to get hint from Wal & ol

Day out driving with Pony1966, thought we'd have another look for this as the sun was setting. No one around today, so plenty of time to access all the likely spots.
Found what we thought was the cache, but it was empty, so we were about to send a photo to the CO when Ol found a part of the log on the rocks below, but interestingly the last name was Dec 2018?

Great hide and a great spot, fave from us. TFTC

Lovely day to be out caching with Wal & Ol. Had us scrambling around to locate the log in the rocks by Ol, TFTC!

Nailed it! TFTF. Lovely spot on a clear warm day. Found by Geodad, but loved by all.

Looked everywhere for the first one looked in the rocks and caves oof

Took two dogs out for a daily walk along here.
Nice quick find after worked out.
TFTC

Xmas Eve eve walk with the geo-pup. Plenty of muggles around, had a search in plenty of hidey holes, but no luck today.

We enjoyed finding this cache while walking at one of our favourite beaches. Interesting place for a cache .. and could be even more interesting on a high tide. TFTC.

Found but had no pen to log on sheet x

Awesome spot, feel like a pirate, especially on this wild wooly day! TFTC

Cold and windy day with a high tide made this one all the more interesting, what a great beach!

Brilliant hiding spot

This cache was certainly an adventure, mainly due to the gale force winds driving a king tide up and into the caves!

I did a bit of a projection in OziExplorer to come up with some useable coordinates, as I had a fair idea I was not going to be able to stand at the listed coordinates today. As I descended the ramp to the beach, I could see what i was up against. Exiting via the bottom of the stairs was out, so I skirted around the bottom of the cliffs until I found a narrow stretch of rocks that were mostly clear of the bigger waves crashing in.

I followed the arrow and enterd a cave that looked very promising, but despite searching all over the obvious objects located within, with my LED Lenser, I could not find a geocache. Occasionally a wave would spill into the cave and almost reach where I was at the back. I exited this cave and went a little further north, to the really large cave, with the little room off of the side wall. I spent way too long here looking in every nook and cranny, and discovering a couple of very unsavoury items.

Staring a DNF in the face, I followed the arrow back to where I began, and searched the first spot all over again. With the wind and waves seeming increasing in their ferocity, I eventually spotted the tiny little hide. I was so happy I initially fumbled the log scroll and dropped it on the rocks, but saw where it landed and soon had our name in the log book. I had time to grab a [short video](https://youtu.be/Wvt0b00QcoE) of the sea crashing to shore, and my hasty retreat back to safe ground.

Certainly the most fun cache I've done in a while.

Thanks mollypix.

Found It!
I've been wanting to do this cache for a while but every time I'm in the area the beach is full of people and kids. Today I was finally going past late on a rainy day so I parked as close as I could and headed down to the beach. Luck was on my side and I found the cache in the first one I looked in! Interesting place. Why are these here? What did they used to be?
TFTC

Great camo hide! TFTC!

Amazing place!

Glorious day to be at Port Willunga and a year later turned my DNF into a smilie. Bit of a sneaky hide. Thanx

Out for an afternoon down south with geoson Sebastbat.
An impressive, if tiny, treasure was found.
An excellent place to hide while the stormy weather rolled in.
Fav point for a great location!
Thanks for bringing us here mollypix , and thanks for the smiley

Took some time but awesome cache! Tftc

Hang on, there's a pregnancy photo shoot happening at 'my' cache location. Waited it out, probably not long to go then went in for the find. Nearly 9 months later I located the cache, then dropped the log. Oh dear, where are my glasses. Eventually located the log for the 2nd time, signed and returned. TFTC

The tide was in so we weren't sure we would be able to get to this. Luckily there was a little bit of land above the sea. GZ was wet but worked out the final without having to go there and pace back.
Nice hide and an apt one to find while Groundspeak has its pirate promotion thingy going.

Tricky, but we found it

Cache # 1489.

Today is the last day of Easter holiday. Our whole family went to Victor Harbor for a visit, and found some caches when we were out there.

Took us over one hour to drive from Adelaide to Victor Harbor. On our way back home, we had a detour, to visit Port Willlunga.

Parked the car in the carpark, and walked to the beach. This was our second attempt. Tried all the possible places, but no sign of cache. Checked some rocks, but I think it will be clever then that.

We were about to give up. Then I read the hint. OK, maybe it's there? Double checked, it's the cache! I actually checked that place before, but I missed it!

Great multi cache! Love this one. Found a tiny space in the log sheet, to write our name on it.

Thanks for the cache, mollypix.

Dried out Log.

Found it nice hide great beach. Didnt sign as log book is mush.

Log book is mush needs replacing.

Searched everywhere several times but just didn't nail it. Will keep an eye on logs. Thanx

A late post from Nov 2016. Had a great day discovering more of Adelaide's coast line. Unfortunately couldn't sign log as full. TFTC.

Great find, almost lost log book by dropping it. Unfortunately couldn't sign TFTF

Nice one! Quick look, didn't find, walked about 10m down the beach and decided screw that I'm going back. 2 mins later, cache in hand!
The log is just a tiny scrap now.

Most of the log is missing. A great hide. It took a while to find it

Great find literally looking right at it for ages before we clicked!

Good little find. TFTC.

Took a while, they mean nano. Great fun though.

**Out and about letting our GPS be our guide**...

Teaming up with Tomboy and getnict today to clean up some of these local caches...
A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped the log and returned...

What a great spot, I used to come to this beach a lot as a kid. A great place to end our day. Found on a day out caching with Snap Happy and Tomboy 711. TFTC

Great camo! Found it with Hankfamily.

Tricky but we found due to keen eyes!

Found it with HankFamily . Great camo!

Great hide, great spot. Log was full so I put my name on a little bit of paper and put it in. TFTC

Found 1182
Found while out caching with SnappyTomCats while down South for a couple of days. Sorry for the late and generic log...I am only new to Gsak.
Thanks mollypix for placing and maintaining this cache.

Down south for a couple of days tackling some caches with Tomboy711. This was one on our too do list and it didn't disapoint. After a bit of a search in the one we thought, we widened the search area and while Tomboy711 and Spotty went in search in the other 'caves' Meggs decided to have another look in the original place that Tomboy711 had searched and after a girls look, found the Booty! This was a great find on a beautiful day and a fav point coming your way. TFTC

Worked out and found by The Boofs TFTC ☺. Wow what a great hide.

We weren't originally going to come down to the beach here however we met some muggle friends and their dogs.

Went to WP1 and was wondering which direction to do but luckily could use some common sense and headed to the really cool GZ.

Cache was found quickly however I did not have a pen in my pants (left it in the car). I took a photo of the cache and that will be provided to the CO upon request.

Thanks for the great cache mollypix - great location and great camo

*FAVOURITE POINT AWARDED*

After a lovely day cycling most of the October OTDs around McLaren Vale, we decided to take another look for this one after a previous hunt. Successfully found it and thanks for the little hint from Locus and Firesafe and a torch! Stunning sunset at the same time and another lovely part of a wonderful day. Great hide and TFTC!
