Darwin to Adelaide Road Trip
Day Nine: Port Augusta to Gumeracha
Weather: perfect, but windy

I’m taking advantage of the 4WD here and driving to this one. The area around GZ is a bit of a dump, but the cache itself is a distance away from the worst of it.

Always a pleasure to find one of these containers, thanks for the hide Moo, great use of your present here, thanks for sharing it with us.

Happy birthday Moo for all those years ago.

Who doesn't like a cache of this type? You'd be crazy if you didn't. We stopped for a short break whilst driving from Andamooka and Port Augusta, so I took a stroll to grab the three trackables that had been sitting for nearly six months. I also had a couple that have been travelling with me, so dropped them off.

Thanks for a 'proper' cache placement.

22-Oct-22
Hooray! Found it after a long time of rustling bushes. I looked for advice from previous finders, and kept looking because one of them wrote that it's easy to find if you approach from the right direction. They were right! There it was plain as day! This is a most excellent cache! Would there were more like this! SL TN L toy sheep. Dropped some TBs. Thank you for bringing me here today. You are an inspiration!

16-Aug-19
On my way back south after an awesome trip up through the Kimberly’s for 6 weeks.
Not sure if I should have bought the the camper trailer in tow into here as I was not sure where I would end up.
After dodging a couple of piles of rubbish I made it into here and thought why do people have to use this beautiful country of ours as a tip.
This one took longer than it should have as how can you miss an ammo can as a cache out here.
I eventually added my name to the log.
Thanks Newbs_Clan TFTC

Work's done and dusted for the week which means a free afternoon for caching - the target was to travel Yorkeys Crossing and find caches along the way. Great views and playing dodgem with trucks made the day.

I enjoyed the walk in from the nearby cache. Why do people have to use the 'bush' as a rubbish dump. The cache was found are a bit of searching - how can you miss a cache of this size?

Thanks for the cache Newbs Clan.

Off on a caching adventure with GoodLook on the Easter long weekend!! We had perfect weather and, for the route we were taking, surprisingly little traffic! Our target was the Cleve Cowell area althouth we started way before this. Our biggest challenge was the lack of anything open, apart from roadhouses, on the Friday and Saturday!!
Took us a while to find the right approach to this one!! Thanks for the hide!!
 
27-Mar-16
This took a while to get to as we drove on the wrong track initially and ended up in a section we needed to back out of.

Found whilst on a fabulous Easter long weekend caching trip with CPwanderer travelling from Adelaide to the Eyre Peninsula.

Our weekend has been filled with fun, laughter and lots of crazy caching adventures [:o)] [^] I loved nearly all of the interesting little tracks we travelled and the bush we 'bashed' in my 'fake' 4wd....poor CP was getting worried at times Surprised, but I was quietly confident we wouldn't get bogged! WinkRazzBig Grin (oh and I may have had my fingers crossed at times as there was little/no phone coverage in many of the areas we visited).

The flies, ants and spiders are friendly on the Eyre Peninsula [xx(] WinkRazz; CP had a close call with a death adder snake Surprised and it was hard to find anywhere but road houses to eat at due to towns effectively being closed Twisted, but CP was a perfect travel and caching companion and good passenger Smile [^] whilst I tackled the 1500+kms of driving........sooo awesome!! I want to do it all again!! Bring on the next caching adventure!! [^] Big GrinCool

Thanks for the cache Newbs Clan Smile
