My friend and I spent 20 minutes searching the bridge and around it, could not find it
Previous cachers had made easy finds, found in the first place they looked etc etc. We searched here and we searched there. We searched under and we searched over. No sign anywhere! Oh well, that's geocaching!
Camping at Mt Compass for Easter today Mr Felix decided to cycle from Willunga to Old Noarlunga picking off caches as he went. Great day out but boy was the cycle trail busy and by the time he finished it was 33degrees and a bit warm. [B)]

In Port Elliott today, great day for caching, back to McLaren Vale today to finish off the December run before the heat hits later this week. TFTC
Put the sweat wheels on the car today and headed south, with primary aim being a couple of trads left in the O'Halloran Hill Recreation Park which is in my 42K circle from home. After that I headed further south to the December OTD series where the bike would also be useful. Ended up finding all 25 left in the series.
Was not going to ride past this one without having a look. Luckily, as time was going to run short, the hint made for a quick find and stamp.
Thanks Freddo for the cache.

had this lone bluey making fun of me for 3 months - gotcha now! to complete Visitor Centre to Main South Rd pathway. Didn't see any ducks though!! tftc
Dnf Hi, lo, hands n knees, under planks... was not prepared to go other side if fencing... In hindsight, me thinks me went South West
Nice little hiding spot. Found with @Lasties01. The trackable doesn’t seem to be in the geocache which is a shame.
Hazel and Ethel found it thanks for the money we swapped with dinosaur
Owl needed to do an errand down south, so this was a fantastic excuse to collect Sushilord and do some caching. They started the day with a nice walk, dodging very polite bicyclists and soaking in the country air, while finding little boxes along the way. This was found on the walk and an easy find with a prior finder in tow.
24C lovely day and loving this walk. Spent a bit of time here but knew which side to be on. Geopartner looked and came up with nothing. I looked where he looked and found it in the dark. Thanx
Had a crack at this one heading out along the trail with two sets of eyes and no luck. Had another go at it on the way back, hands and knee's bum up a good look this time, still nothing.
As the Terminator said " I'll be back".

There didn't seem many places where this one could be, but obviously one too many for me.
#3340 Parked the car and walked a few kilometres to find these caches. Lots of cyclists on this path heading in both directions. I found the cache on the wrong side. I'm Visiting Adelaide for 5 days from Canberra on this very hot summers day. Found a total of 76 caches. TFTC Freddo Legstrong and the Blade 5.0.
On a day of scattered showers, gridge98 and I decided to grab our bikes and do some of the December OTD series from Noarlunga.
Started searching this one with our fingers without success. Once I had a closer look, the cache was able to be seen and signed. Cheers Freddo.

Last night after the vent Davidwazza and I decided that we would come and tackle this OTD December today. Majority were fairly easy finds others took a few minutes and a bit of searching. Only one DNF along the way.
A very enjoyable ride and some nice views of the vineyards makes it that little bit special.

Found while out and about picking up a long trail of caches. Enjoyed stopping here for a bit and watching the muggles go by on their motorised skateboards... might have to get myself one of those!! TFTC
Found during a very pleasant day cycling along part of the Coast to Vines Rail Trail, enjoying the exercise, searches and scenery. Thanks for the cache Freddo!
Such a lovely day for a walk today. Was very glad to have mogni find this one so easliy. Another dnf bites the dust. TFTC Freddo.
I joined up with Aussie Mary to find a few caches this evening. A lovely afternoon for a walk.
Glad to see this is back up and available since our last visit. Was easier to find than I was expecting.

After the bridge upgrade (reason we couldn't find it before) we went back and was able to mark this one off. Yeah! TFTC
Cache replaced. There has been some work on the bridge deck and the cache was gone.
2 of us acting like trolls on both sides of the track but no cache was found...
First for the day and it's always good to start with a find .
Wondered why there wasn't a cache here as we did the OTD trail last week
- appears this one wasn't in our GPS [:o)]. Came back today to clear it up .

Thanks Freddo.

With beautiful weather for the whole Easter weekend there was of course plenty of caching to be done. Today was time to made a start on the OTD Series down at McLaren Vale. Given the late start it was doubtful that I would be able to complete the whole trail so I set my self a manageable task of doing roughly half and thankfully I was able to just complete this and getting back to the car just as night was falling. An enjoyable walk was had in doing this series and hopefully I can complete the rest in the next few weeks.

Looked on the way out and the way back too good for me will have to come back tfth
Day Thirty One of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I are still at Semaphore in Adelaide.
Today we headed South again with the deadly treadlies and tackled one and a half OTD trails (and ancillary caches).
Lunch at a winery in McLaren Vale. A cool overcast day, just perfect for caching.
Picked up while doing the December Edition of the OTD series.
We were very glad they had bridged this creek, it would have been a bugger to ride down then back up the other side!
Thanks, Robmc.

#12250. Day 31 of our SA holiday. Starting to feel very sad as we only have two more days left in Adelaide and we have had such a marvellous time with wonderful weather and many days of fairly concentrated caching. Today we loaded the bikes and went to McLaren Vale to do two more months of the OTD series. Although the weather was so much cooler it was very good for riding and I think this is one of the best days we have had - caching by bike amongst the vines with gorgeous scenery. We also picked up several caches that were also on the trail, or nearby.
This was one we picked up along the way. It looks like a lot of the timber has been replaced on this bridge fairly recently, making it safer for cyclists.
Thanks Freddo

We had a lovely day out on the trails in the southern wine area. This was one of the caches that we targetted and were able to find. Thanks to Freddo for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. 
Day out and about collecting smiley's. Took the Geodogs for a lovely walk on a lovely day, with dubzedd and a muggle friend and his puppy.
