cant replace

After spending half hour in the rain we came up with nothing

this too seems to be missing or really well hidden

No luck for me today

Logged this one a few months back under another account. Went back Friday and couldn't find it.

Awesome fun!!!! TFTC!

Found with Chelz666!! And fellow cacher! TfTc

Diane had looked at Moneydorks "Schoolies Challenge" awhile back and thought that with a bit of planning that we could get it this holiday but it seemed like along way to go for one cache. We then saw the Muneryoo 4wd event being listed and we thought "that sounds like fun", let's do it. Returning to Whyalla from this event we stopped for a very good pub meal and then decided to do a few more before heading back to the caravan park. Even though we knew that we would be coming back to this homestead to have a look when it was open and also for the challenge but we thought that it might be easier to grab this cache under the cover of darkness. We had to wait for one lone muggle in a very hotted up car that sounded like it would be more at home on the drag way than it would on the streets to go past and then we started our search and had a nice easy find.
Thanks csyloda for the cache.

Found it while we were waiting for the library to open, a nice easy find. TFTC.

A nice, quick find. Sadly the museum closed at two, so we couldn't have look around. Seems a bit poor for school holidays. Never mind, we might have a look some other time. Thanks for the cache.

Geocaching afternoon with Geoson, this was the favourite today. Started out inside the homestead, until we realised it would be easier from outside! TFTC

Quick find, interesting old machinery. Cheers Gav [11642]

In all the years I have lived in Whyalla I have never been in this building.

Nice quick find TFTC

Spied this one straight away having seen this cache type before. SL and on my way.

It took a little while to find even though it was right infont of my eyes, bang on where the GPS put me, all the time. TFTC.

Quick easy find. TFTC

Cache was waaaaay inside the fence, but a previous finder spotted it for me ..... Thanks MissyHere. Tftc.

Checked this one yesterday but too much traffic but saw what I wanted to see. Back early this morning, in the drizzly, to log. Really should wonder through the museum with the kids one of these days. TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1635. Looks like a fascinating place to check out when we're too old to cache. Loved all the history in the cache notes. Our thanks yet again to cslyoda.

A nice easy hide at a place that looks very interesting

Did this one today during a shortened caching excursion around Whyalla.

Great location. Great collection of old agricultural implements and other odds and ends to be seen in the museum grounds.

TFTH TFTC SLTNLN

We nearly gave up on this one as the GPS was saying further to the left. But we got it in the end refusing to give up (that stubborn streak emerged), Neat hide have seen one like this before. Great stuff. SL TFTC.

[^] What a great location, never knew it was here, thanks for the cache...TFTHSL

I once worked with a guy in Whyalla. His wife had a baby.

He wanted to call his daughter Laura.

All the guys said it was a bad idea.

Oh, there it is! was wondering about in the grounds for some time B4 I realised...

This one had me going for a few minutes, but soon enough it came to me.

I thought we might be too late for a FTF here, but we were rewarded with a blank log sheet. I think I’m finally getting the hang of cslyoda caches.
Thanks cslyoda.

Silver to woodsy5! TFTC
