Searched all the likely locations but it remained elusive. Has it gone A.W.O.L.?

Paddled up Nockburra Creek from the entrance of Chambers to get this cache. Looked at the very obvious spot at GZ but the cupboard was bare. Looked around in nearby trees and shrubs, nothing. Came back to the hollow tree and had a good second look, nothing.
Enjoyed the paddle anyway, 6.7km just before sunset, a stunning place to paddle

Brodie, muggle partner and I were at Berri for an event yesterday at our 'home' for the weekend Cool
Today was head for our real home day and I was supposed to be back in Adelaide by 6.30pm for a meeting but at 8pm, we were just leaving Barmera Surprised
There was just too many great spots to visit Cool and caches to find Wink
All up, 40 caches for the day (well, 40 after we had been to bed and slept Wink ) and the last 2 were FTFs which required a small (about 20km) detour from our journey home.

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

Enjoying our crane2 guided tour of this area and the features in it like the old pumping station Cool

So we finished this series at the start just as the sun is starting to set. Lots of birdlife in the water today, swans, herons, egrets, cormorants, unsuspecting ducks and the ever present pelican. I have attached a photo taken a few 100 meters north of the cache. Thanks for this series crane2 - very much appreciated the information and the beautiful scenery here.

After sleeping-in and visiting the bakery and the tourist information centre, we decided to drive through this conservation park this afternoon. An interesting place we'd never have visited if not for caching.

Definitely a pumping station Smile
Possibly for the mine that still operates in the middle of the game reserve ??
My olde topographic map shows the pipeline starting here and ending somewhere about a mile away to the east.

Nearby I found the cache safe and sound [^]

So far I haven't met another soul on me cruise around the Luna landscape Big Grin
Looks like I have the place to meself for the night Smile

Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega

Now camped up at Plush's Bend for a few days it was time to head back towards Barmera to find some caches and explore the area.

Some very interesting history and some awesome scenic spots that Geocaching took us to today. [^]

We hadn't realised we could drive to the caches here in the reserve but on seeing the entrance from the nearby cache Go'n'do - Napper's Ruins we decided we should tackle these before the rain of the next few days. Quick find here, not surprised though with the current warm spell to find no campers in residence today. Wink

Thanks for the cache and for helping us explore this area Big Grin

An interesting drive through Loch Luna TFTC
 
29-Jun-14
Last one for the morning while out exploring the reserve by bicycle.

Had planned to continue to the other caches in the area, after sheltering under a tree waiting for the rain to stop, but shortly after leaving the cache I hit a soft spot in the road, and was sent flying off the bike into the bush.

Covered in mud, with a turned ankle and a few scrapes I decided to call it a day.

Will be back when the paths are a little drier.

Certainly a day to remember.

This was our morning tea spot whilst paddling the Nockburra Creek Canoe Trail. We had a fabulous day - this area is beautiful and the water was so calm and peaceful. After this point we became a little lost on the trail due to the lack of markers, but it made for a bit of an adventure and more paddling is always a good thing [^] It was great to be able to hop out of the kayak and find a nearby cache! Thanks.

We started at 6.30am Saturday and got home 3.00pm Sunday.

We stayed at Loch Luna on the Murray on Saturday night.

A delightful area that I will definately come back to especially after the fire season has finished. Our group had a top night around the gas cookers.

Found as part of a weekend of caching with Team Waldron, Freddo, Astro and White Dog Gang too! I love this reserve, with an abundance of kangaroos, emus and bird life. Even tried a touch of fishing but nothing today! TFTC

The road noise from here would have been nonexistent (camp 6 you could hear the odd whoosh). Perfect camp spot. Nice big pipes.

Thanks to crane2 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

I was wondering what I was going to see at this cache but what else would you call a cache located here? I nearly put my hand into a hollow with an active wasps nest while looking forthis cache!!!

A week ago I was thinking that this series of caches would be inaccessable with the recent rain, and reports that the roads in the park reserve were closed. No problems with access today.

Thanks for the cache and series crane2.
