On a day trip to Point Lowly we cached along the way ending up with 50 finds and 1 DNF, most were easy finds as 15 to 20 were laying on the ground having been blown from their hiding places

5002 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1440. Drove off the main road and parked. Had to wait for a group of ball bashers to move along. Eventually had the container in hand. SL Tnx Kev the Rev
Mr y'stassie spent some time looking for this cache today. He found a site that matched the clue and looked like a container had been there and where his GPS indicated GZ would be but no cache to be found. Has it disappeared?
Found u the awesome geokid3&1/2 while mum and dad were looking somewhere else!! On the paper it's called hole in one?
Checked this cache and found it missing, replaced it with a larger, more easily found cache container.
An easy ride-by cache on the Mountain Bike this morning
Nobody else around at the time.
They must have all been trying to find lost golf balls !!

Found while caching with Jeffrey11, Team Pedal Pushers, Sars12 and Whites on Windsor. TFTC.
TFTC OUT WITH JEFFEDDY, jeffrey11, wow, SARS 12. Great day for caching. Thanks again. So nice to be out in the sunshine on this beautiful long week end.
Drove to Whyalla, to pick up some caches that we missed on our last visit.
Caught up with friends, went out for dinner before driving back to Port Augusta.
Watched some golfers for a while, found cache quickly after they left.
Many thanks for the hunt today, Kev the Rev.

This was our 3rd cache find in a caching run of 23 Finds & 1 DNFs today.
We found it at 10:41 so this now makes our total find count 8246.
[blue]
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.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the "land down under."
Quick find.
Thanks for the fun Kev the Rev!

A quick grab this afternoon, it hasn't been that long since the last person found it so it wasn't to bad at all. TFTC.
Found in between a round of golf with the work mates. Was the only smiley for me today as the golf was bad. Thanks
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 , 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
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!

Taking an out of towner and now a new friend around and showing them a few of our local caches, giving me an opportunity for a TB visit too.
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.

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.
Local golfers kept us entertained with their colorful vocabulary whilst we located this cache. Nice hide.
Found on a caching day with Jaded Optimist... Nice hide, although a little worried once Id read the hint... Good spot, TFTC
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.
Forgot to log this one, found with Affy easily. Hint was perfect, glad were none there this time.
Finally had the time to grab this one and get it off my radar after all what seems like an eternaty.

Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

went for a little walk around first as there were a few muggle golfers, found it 10 min later. great little spot!
I quick find during a drive by. You just have to be careful not to back into any rocks when you do that 180 to get back. Clear skies.
As we arrived, there was a green keeper working near GZ so we waited and threw a ball for our dog to chase for a while...then finally the green keeper left....Ms Bushies2 found it quickly as the coords was spot on. Thanks Kev the Rev for the cache.
Found this one straight away. Great Hide, (weeds are starting to be abit over-grown)
stopped for this cache on the way home from adelaide with a load of furniture on board. tftc was a little bit concerned case there was a snake there so mrs wheres wolly waited there as she was gasbagging on the dog and bone as usual lol found with no problems tftc another one crossed of the list yah good hide needed to get out and stretch the old bones pick up a few caches along the way thanks enjoyed it.
Muggle around he thought we were looking for a ball but alas no but did a good deed and found his. TFTC
Found on a rewarding day caching around Whyalla. Thanks to Kev the Rev for this cache, which took longer than it should have.
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.
A group of us made our way across to the Googs Track Event ahead of the rest to pick up a few caches on the way.
No one out playing today - must have been working. TFTC.

The thirty second find on our Sunny Side Up caching tour. A few pre event caches to make the long journey to Googs a little more interesting.
Quickly found and we were soon on our way again.

Found today on my wrap-up of a few outstanding caches to be done in Whyalla. Off to Adelaide tomorrow and flying home to Doha on Monday morning. Had a great time hunting the "local" caches and hope to be back again to do the rest next time.

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

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
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.

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 ......)
