We have finished out Grey Nomad tour of Western Australia and are staying in Whyalla for awhile before heading off to Murray Bridge to attend the "[url=http://coord.info/GC3X0X4]Oz Mega 2014 Murray Bridge[/Url]" over Easter.
Today was another relaxing day caching around town. Drove along a nearby dirt track for a quick park-n-grab.
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks Kev the Rev for the hunt today.

29-Apr-13
I was really headed home today from a fantastic long weekend with the group on The Hunt for PMB16!!
I had stayed in Whyalla last night and today had the honor of being shown around some of the town's caches by fishingmad and his lovely geodaughter in the morning Cool, then doing more on my own in the afternoon before leaving town for Adelaide.
All in all, 108 successful locus cache events and 3 DNFs for the 5 days away Smile

Not being a golfer, the only reason I was at this spot was for a smiley and luckily, one was claimed but it sure wasn't a hole in one! Wink

Nice hiding spot
 
13-Aug-12
We met yakcm yesterday at the Munyaroo 4wd caching event and she very kindly offered to show us around own today grabbing caches and also learning a bit of the history. For this we were really thank full as our in car navigator had no real idea of the streets of Whyalla and kept leading us dead ends yesterday when we were by ourselves
We pulled up near her and walked to gz to find a couple of golfers smacking their balls around. We knew that they wouldn't be there long so we simply stood and chatted until the area was clear and then started our search. Again the lush spring growth made the search harder than it had to be but we got there in the end.
Thanks Kev the Rev for the cache.
 
27-Jan-12
Found this one on my way to work. I ride my bike past this everyday going to work and wouldn't have thought anything of it before a mate put me on to this Geocaching thing. Great hide.TFTC.
 
26-Jan-12
Local golfers kept us entertained with their colorful vocabulary whilst we located this cache. Nice hide.
 
26-Jan-12
Found on a caching day with Jaded Optimist... Nice hide, although a little worried once Id read the hint... Good spot, TFTC
 
27-Dec-11
This stumped us for a while- bad knees etc dont favour low lying caches! TFTC
 
29-Nov-11
Found this one without the hint. Had to stick my hand through a multitude of cobwebs. Got sprung by the green keeper before I found it and said I've never been to this part of the course before (which was true) and that my workmates say I should go and look as it is picturesque (which is true). Had a good chat, then he went to mow more lawn and I found the cache.
 
19-Nov-11
Came across a cool looking lizard whilst looking for this one, TFTC.
 
12-Nov-11
Forgot to log this one, found with Affy easily. Hint was perfect, glad were none there this time.
 
11-Nov-11
Very easy fine even with the spiders
 
Finally had the time to grab this one and get it off my radar after all what seems like an eternaty.

07-Oct-10
Found by Mary & David at 1245. We have a few friends who are avid golfers, but we haven't been bitten by that bug ourselves. With caching taking up most of our spare time, can't see us even bothering to start. Our thanks to Kev the Rev.

Nice hide, there were some 70+ muggles enjoying the joys of golf and not bothered with my presence
Was a bit scared to drop my hands in but managed to scrape out the cache
No spider looking after it today
 
23-Aug-10
Big Grin Well we found it, Thanks Kev the Rev, Great to see Whyalla, Alive with Geocachers, and new caches...Well done to all, and a Great Town.TFTHSL
 
15-Aug-10
The first place I looked was being guarded by a red-back spider!
I was surprised I didn’t find any golf balls.
Thanks Kev the Rev.
BTW I think, according to the cache size guidelines, this is probably micro (less than 100ml), not small.

Maybe should be wearing a hard hat here abouts. TFTC

Nice easy FTF @ 4:52. TFTC (although we weren't sure it was the right one as the log book had a different cache name written on the top, but coords were accurate so we just assumed ......) Wink
