Found this cache in 2011 with The Rhyan Clan and Team Scallywag.
I do appologise I am behind in logging my caches. My 2012 New Years Resolution is not to get so far behind in logging.

Team caching at it's best, out and about with The Wild Gang and Team Scallywag to beat our most caches found in one day. Proud to say we did a whopping 91 caches found we had a really enjoyable day. TFTC TNLN SL

Quick easy find after tying my brothers boat to the jetty thing. Cool also to see the shout out to Workskil- I use to work there for a bit tftc

On way to Adelaide for a week.
Glad to work out how can I access there.
look out the grey cloud if I should walk or not,
but I manage to get closer to GZ only 250 mtrs. Quickly walk to found it

A neat place we wouldn't have visited, if not for geocaching .
Had the park to ourselves and went for a bit of a walk around after finding the cache [^].
The place would come up a treat with a few hours of maintenance .
Took spider. Left pink frog. SL.
Thanks Bronsen.

(Formerly DavMal60) What a great walk to GZ. Not a lot of bird activity but I had wished I had come here a few hours later and I could have had some lunch here. Found the cache quickly without the need to get wet. Thanks for showing me this great spot that I never knew existed. TFTC Bronsen.

This one had me really stumped at first. I hunted high and low. Was even hanging underneath a landing with my pony tail trailing in the water at one point. Got excited when I found a blue bait container pinned underneath, only to discover after getting wet, it was just that, a container. Clever hide. Cheers.

Lovely area that seems to be suffering from vandalism and neglect, Nicely hidden cache. Took blue marble and left frog

Interesting walk not too many birds around today, nice hide, took marble left ship steering wheel eraser

I have been in Murray bridge nearly 4 years and never knew this place existed. Thanks Bronsen (and Mooshell). You guys rock!

Those squigly yellow & black signs are a bit of a worry but otherwise this was a very enjoyable cache hunt [^]
Ending with a great view in a fantastic location and a nice fun hide!
Cheers & TFTC Bronsen

Finally found the way - enjoyed myself for a walk to see plenty birds so beautiful. Signed the log. Thanks Bronsen.

How lucky was i found this one without getting my feet wet and also not coming into contact with that strange towel man and only coming in contact with one of the strange women who hang out in this area
Thank Bronsen

Travel bug in and back out.

We brought some wellies with us but we really did not need them. Great cache. Very ingenious. The water looks great at the moment.

I made sure the gumboots were free of redbacks. In the end you could risk it in your sneakers. We got wetter in the downpour as we high tailed it back to the car. Gee there is water everywhere. Beaut stuff. Clear skies for 5 minutes.

Water has gone down. Thought you might want to know. See-ya.

Saw a large group of pelicans on the way to the cache. TFTC, TNLN

Arranged to meet a fellowcacher named Bronson at the cache to check out his cache. He was nowhere in sight today. As we approached the walkway, (that is Dipsy Gypsy and myself Mrs froghoppin) we were shocked by a man bearing a towel and carrying some kind of boot in his hand, he told us to swim for it. We had heard of the wild man named the Intrepid Towel man with his catfish, but we did not believe it until we saw it for ourselves.The water was moving around us but we took the dry track, (which is the board walk), although it felt like a horrror movie with the water moving like it was a carpet living and breathing and ready to swallow us up..We followed the wild man in, and all he could do was show us his catfish and tell us he had a big one. Cache in hand and we decided it was enough excitement for one day.Took note and left frogs.Thanks for the caching experience.Bronson

I had heard of these Wild Girls from the swamp before but on all my travels had never seen any until today. Towel was soon torn away to reveal what i was actually carrying. Not boots but two huge catfish ? Cheers from the Wild Man.
Water has come up a lot since i put cache here so i will have to keep a close eye on it. Board walk at the moment is best way to get there now. I did walk through 9 inches of water on the track close to the cache so take the board walk on your right when close to cache. See-ya.

Great spot!
Difficulty could be increased today as the water is over the walkway by about 3 inches!
(Got told off because I got wet socks!!!)
Great hide again Bronsen, TFTC

Ha Ha Ha
Dad had to 'walk on water' today,
Then he got told off for wet socks!!!

We went with "Are we there yet!". River very high. Saw snake (? tiger) swimming. Took a gecko and left an English bank note. TFTC.

The first cache in a day of caching with my pommie friends "peeneff". A nice wetlands with plenty of water and some parts of the track under water. My friends saw a snake (?tiger) swimming in the water next to the submerged track. TFTC.

This was a perfect ending to a day's caching around Tailem Bend during which we did CPwanderer's 'Wandering Heroes ...' series and a few other caches.
It is one of the best wetlands that we have visited and to nab a Bronze was an added bonus. Again thanks to Honeysucker for reminding us about this cache.

Thanks Bronsen for the experience.

Another find on our way down south to Meadows.

Whoooo Hooooo !!!! First to Find at 6.55am. As i drove to the wetlands the sun was coming up but I'd forgotten about the early morning fog this close to the river..... made for an interesting walk to the GZ. Loved this cache hide.... you'd swear Bronsen had this entire structure set uup just to hide his cache its such a perfect fit!!! Thanks Bronsen for a great hide..... this will no doubt bring folks to see what they would normally just drive by.... not realizing what they are missing!! tnln
