Sturt Pea Mclaren Flat, South Australia, Australia

Due to my restricted movement this cache has been archived

I ended up spending most of the day down south with gridge98 targeting new-ish caches around Willunga and McClaren Vale. The breakfast club event at Morphett Vale meant there was a reason to come this way, and the first part of the morning was a little sporadic before we did a few of the Cats and Dogs series, and then tried to clean out Willunga. A nice day out with just over 50 finds.

Looked all around the trees and bushes, but with limited spots for this one, we suspect this one is gone, and may need a CO check.

Looked everywhere couldn’t find it.

No sign of this one today.
Thanks for the challenge bregor ,
will place on the watch list and return asap when it's been found or maintained or I've been to specsavers.

Nice and easy Cache, found it after realising I didn't actually have to go in the park

An Owl and a Rat decided that a girls day of caching was in order.
We had a day of laughter, stories and caches.
Had to be careful where we walked.
We did not want to tread on the lovely wild orchids.
a quick find. Tftc

A nice location that deserved longer than two animals could give it. Pretty flowers here, but no sturt peas, only a cache.

Nice easy find outside a park we didn't know existed. TFTC

Our first catch!

Awesome find but watch for fast cars!!

Out & about with clare007 on this lovely summer evening...
Looks like a nice park for a walk...

After another successful day in the ONK with sir_spectre we decided to get a few drive bys. This one had us on 1 side of the fence then back to roadside this went on for about 10 mins, finally sir_spectre came up with the cache
TFTC bregor

Tftc we found it easily

Couldn't find this one

Found It!
Took a little while to find this one for some reason. Be warned, those dead yakka sticks have shape edges - I cut my finger open on one of them...

Quick find barren cache.

Visiting a nearby winery for a few "supplies" and drove home the long way to go past this one.

Saw the cache as soon as we got near it, so after signing the log we tucked the cache away a whole lot safer.

We haven't seen a pretty Sturt Pea in the wild, hmm one for the bucket list we think.

Thanks bregor for the cache and the detour.

Found it

Joined locus cache and pusy/pussy cheek dog Brodie, who wasn't looking his most handsome self today after coming off second best to the cat [B)], for a spot of southern caching . Today, for once, I was glad that I didn't have to share the back seat with him and his weeping wound.

After meeting some of locus' family we headed off into the sunset to whereever the green boxes took us.

How hard can it be to find a Sturt Pea Flower? Very hard if your name is locus cache or Ismartis!

TFTC bregor!

Out with Ismartis, and a Brodie dog bearing war wounds after my cat defeated him in battle, for an afternoon of southern caching fun!
We were joined by JJ52 for the last two caches and extra fun, too
8 finds and 1 DNF

We walked past this cache and looked elsewhere, only finding it as we came back to start from the beginning spot again. DOH!
I think I was as red faced as a Sturt Pea flower
One day, I really hope to see a Sturt Pea flower in the wild.

Quick grab on a Sunday drive. TFTC

Found on a day out with the Hero Husband (Moneydork), Semik and Skippy. Thanks.

A quick stop and easy find. TFTC.

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia.

Currently camped with our Caravan at Kuitpo. We left our Cat safely tucked up in the caravan and set off.

Today we needed to head to McLaren Vale to see a computer expert [xx(] After that meeting it was time to explore.

Lucky for us the day turned out to be the best weather of the week! Managed to grab 33 smilies today. What a magnificent day.

Grabbed this cache whilst attempting the multi 'Grape Day Out' which had us nearby.

TFTC

First find was an easy find!

Had just finished Mothers Day breakfast and wanted to grab a few caches while visiting a few wineries. [^] [^] Had a lovely drive between wineries and caches with my two girls.
Thanks for the cache bregor.

Found In good condition. TNLN TFTC

Checked cache today, all present and correct.

Looked for this late in the afternoon. I was pretty hot and tired by this point, which might have contributed to these DNFs. Nice spot of bushland anyway.

Found this sitting out in the open looking like some rubbish so gave it a little bit of move and hid it (easy hide and only about 5m from where it was laying).TFTC

Third bregor cache for the day! Had a little bunny running around in the undergrowth, and almost trod on this one. Log a bit damp, but managed to sign and return. Thanks again bregor!

Easy find

Easy find. TFTC

TFTC. Found with TheSneakyOne as part of Scouts geocaching competition.

Protection of native flora in areas like this is fantastic. It could so easily be covered in some of this regions finest Shiraz or Chardonnay. Nothing better than a walk through the bush after glass of McLaren Vales finest shiraz and there is plenty of it around here. I strongly recommend a visit to Olivers Taranga back around the corner. TFTC bregor.

Easy find, TFTC. Found by Georgia 14 YO.

Found quite quickly. TFTC!

easy find no writting implement left pen tftc

I found it as soon as I looked in the area. Nice cache in a nice area. [^]

They are a lovely flower indeed the Sturt Pea! The cache was slightly exposed on arrival making for an even easier find than intended.
