I checked this one months ago but forgot to log the cache missing. I checked it again today and it's still missing.. The cache owner no longer caches so he will never replace this cache. It also seems the recent claimers have faked their finds for their own numbers..
Found by Mary & David at 1608. Left Port Lincoln this morning, at the start of our long journey home. Cached our way north to Whyalla for the night. Saw the movie with the grandchildren. After the rain, the saltbush looks like silver grey blobs over the landscape. Found ok after a short search. Our thanks to team resmini.
Container is buggered I have taken and will replace soon log and everything lost
Catching up on some very late logs.
We headed out to Port Bonython for a day of sightseeing and of course caching, that finished finished the 31 days of August and as there was still some light left we were just random caching.
We always get lost in this place and the sun was getting very low before we found GZ.
Unfortunately this cache is in need of some TLC and we thought we had one more eclipse tin and log in our supplies but it looks like we ran out replacing others over the week.
We added our name to the log and replaced it as good as possible to try and keep it dry.
Many thanks to pomresmini for placing this cache.

My feet were happy !!
Dancing on the pedals
And on me bike ride through the "free", waste recycling centre, that surrounds Whyalla, I ended up here looking for another cache
Geez it can be tough to spot the caches amongst the rubbish, but after a good poke around I spied this cache in its hiding place [^]
Looks like any bit or rubbish out here though, and definitely needs some maintenance

Definitely requires maintenance. Container broken and quite mouldy. Still found it though
Out with geoDad to grab a couple of caches for me. Cache needs mtce as log was soaked. Thanks
Today, we tackled some dirt tracks, which wasn't the best of ideas, due to the recent rain.
A couple of spots were extremely soft & muddy, but the geo-cruiser never let us down.
We left some caches due to their placement, and hope to pick them up on another visit.
The geo-cruiser got filthy dirty and so did our shoes, but a great fun day was had.
Cache was an easy find, and in good condition.
Thanks for the hunt today, team resmini.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the "land down under."
Nice area and a quick find.
Thanks for the fun team resmini!

A Great weekend away doing the Googs Track with good friends. Lots of different scenery and a lot of fun
We had a great time seeing some good ranges of different styles of caches now it was time to grab a few caches around the Whyalla area.
Thanks for putting these caches out for us to find team resmini

Found a place to park, but could have parked closer if we'd persisted [:o)].
Searched around the tree everyone else had looked before us, before having a chat with a local muggle walker, Mrs DISK finding the cache in the meantime after extending the search area .
Cache is very wet and we only just managed to make our mark on the soggy log .

Thanks Pomresmini.

After completing our trek along the Googs Track and back through the Gawler Ranges, it was time to rack up some numbers in the Whyalla area - gee there are a lot of caches around here.
Today our focus was on the FITG series then down south to Cowell and return to Whyalla. Started out early but didnt get back until 10pm. TFTC.

Coming in to Whyalla to get some tea before heading home we started grabbing the closest caches, its a wee bit bumpy in here for a standard commodore LOL. TFTC
South Australia 2013 with Sol de Lune. We headed off on 12/4 and arrived home on 28/4. The trip was to visit the SA series so more time could be spent at the Mega itself next year. We did a huge variety of caching around Murray Bridge, the Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Whyalla Region. Apart from one wet night and two wet days we were able to spend heaps of time caching.
Today we were doing the FTF trail between Whyalla and Iron Knob. There was time for some other caching at both ends. Some of these aches were fiendish today and we had an annoying number of DNFS. Everyone has done a great job of placing a great variety of caches and we had a great day.
Thanks.

Grabbed with Albida on our 2 week caching run from Canberra to, and around, different parts of South Australia including Loxton, Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend, Yorke Peninsula and around to Whyalla before heading home via Broken Hill, Cobar and Parkes. We completed a few power trails and left a couple to do when in the area again for next years Mega event.
Overall a great many different styles and types of caches found. A great time was had caching for 16 days straight as well as camping along the way.
Thanks for adding to the fun with this cache.

Quick find TFTC. Replaced a little more undercover as it was very exposed when found
Easily found. Log was wet from the recent rain due to the the broken cache. TFTC
Lots of tracks in here and we managed to drive quite close by.
Thanks team resmini.

Great drive and hiding place. Couldn't sign the log though it was wet!!! TFTC!!!
Geoson was playing in the local table tennis comp at the showgrounds so we were able to find a few local caches in the area TFTC
My work in town has finished and I'm having one last run around town and heading home (for good??).
Just muddy feet and one more smiley for me today.

defineatly NO PENGUINS out this way, although the cold wind and wet rain, and mud lead me to believe I just might see one or two. I not got happy feet after all the walking I have done this morning, but my oversized but is happy I walked off a few kilos TFTC
The frog wanted to see a penguin. I said get over it. He croaked.
Thanks to team resmini and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Happy feet? not for this Duck, red mud up to my ears, prickles under my wings for what. A neglected cache with a broken lid and a waterlogged log book. How about doing a bit of maintenance team resmini1 or is it every man for themselves in the team. Took nothing but did leave a lovely magnetic butterfly for the next finder.
Nice easy find for the lad found some Intresting stuff in the bush
Some piles of junk mail that Iguess never got delivered

Found cache open contents a little worse for wear but there. Emptied debris left log and closed up.
Loved it.
Now this is my sort of cache.
Loved the drive in. My favourite sort of caching.
Wow if I lived here I would cover this spot with caches. Imagine a 160 metre grid with a cache in each quadrant. Now that would be a fun drive. Probable even give it a movie theme like "Dirty Mary, Crazy Harry"

Great hide, two other locations nearby to distract from the real!! Log is soaked and needs replacing.
Found on our Whyalla caching weekend.
Quick find, Cheers [^]

Perfect coordinate - no problem spotted the container - like the size of container instead of "Micro" signed the log. Thanks Team Resmini.
Was wondering how this one got it name. I thought I was going to be the one with happy feet dancing in a patch of ants! Very relieved I didnt! TFTC
Found at 3.10pm GAFF1. Finally a cache that we could find! After a mini run of DNF's we were wondering if our caching skills had departed.
Once again - bush caching which we love.
Thanks pomresmini.

After the drive from autoshop to by some spare parts... followed the Nuvi 500 gave me the earliest turnoff...forget that Nuvi and followed Colorda 400 to the GZ....the cache was well exposed......Thanks team resmini
I'm glad the GPSr has a "bread-crumbs trail" facility or I think we'd have had to call out the tracker dogs so we could get back to civilisation!
Dipped in the travellers and took them out again.

We too are not sure about the name of the cache - perhaps your dog had happy feet? LOL. A nice quick and easy find.
thanks
thanks
We had no problem finding the cache and added some tape to the lid to make it more water proof. Thanks pomresmini
Found on a rewarding day caching around Whyalla. Thanks to pomresmini for this cache. Still wondering about the name!
I went around and around a big tree several times before I realised where it was, Geobuddy kept laughing and yelling out "Cold", 'Warm". The cache is in good condition but the lid is broke.
Found on a caching day for the littlest Newbs birthday. Geo-dude had a muggle friend too. Quick bash in the bush and sent the kids off to get this one themselves. They came up with the goods!. PIcked up the polar bear TB too.
Cheers!!
Cheers!!
Did this one today during a caching excursion in and around Whyalla.
Great location - enjoyed doing this one. Took a coin and left a coin.
