This is the 2nd of 2 caches we didn't find today. Twisted[:(!]

We spent quite some time here being attacked by ants at around 1:16:00 PM, but we just couldn't locate your cache, so a DNF from us - - - not stating it's not there... just that we couldn't spot it. Twisted

A very big, dead and stinky kangaroo was right at the co-ords - not the most pleasant place right now.
 
10-Aug-15
A dead kangaroo at GZ did not enhance the ambience of the area. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find (thankfully). The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache Team Waldron.

Day sixty nine of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747.
On the road again - Whyalla to Tailem Bend.
Did a few caches out of Whyalla, then had no more loaded!
I don't think you can call it a real drive-by if you have to get out of the car to reach the cache! Smile
Mind you I, as driver, didn't get out, so I suppose that counts.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 8390. We are making our way steadily home. Today's run is Whyalla to Tailem Bend. Luckily we had a quick run of caches as we left town as after that our PQ ran out. We even scored a FTF that I discovered on the iPhone by chance as we neared it. As it was so new it wasn't in Rob's PQ.

We just started to drive off as the road was pretty busy just before 9.00am. As we moved off I yelled 'Stop! I can see it' so we reversed back and I jumped out for a grab and sign - and still the traffice poured past.

Thanks Team Waldron

This cache was such a drive by, that I drove straight past it [:o]

About half a 'k' down the road I realised that the cache was now behind me and did a quick 'U-turn' Red Face

Back at GZ, it was a quick find Razz

I still can't remember much about it, other than I did have to go back and get it [^]

TFTC by the roadside !!

Day 6 of our Whyalla trip
Today we headed out early to do the PT sereis and some more of the local caches. We ended up with 56 finds and a few DNFS. Once again we found a variety of differant cache containers and a lot were found quickly but some had us searching for a while. This is our last day in whyalla before we start heading back to perth. We were hoping to find a lot more caches here but we have ran out of time so maybe we might have to come back sometime to finish them off. TFTC

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia after having attended Oz Mega. Big Grin

Today we moved camp to Murray Town and just grabbed a few roadside caches as we travelled. It's no mean feat doing roadside caches with a caravan totalling 28feet in tow. Razz

Loved the scenery as we came through towards Melrose and Murray Town. Big Grin

Yorkshirekiwi83 and I are in South Australia, visiting from New Zealand for the Aussie Mega. Today we teamed up with Funkymunkyzone and Slieschke and headed down to Whyalla for the day, from Port Augusta, picking up a few caches along the way. For simplicity in signing the logs, we adopted a team name of "FYVS" meaning Funkymunkyzone, Yorkshirekiwi83, Vistra & Slieschke. We made a quick find of this cache along the way, thanks for the cache!

26-Apr-13
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.

This is the beginning of the journey home, we really only had half a day caching before the driving began to take over. We drove from Whyalla to Peterborough doing what caches we could as we went. Everyone has done a great job of placing a great variety of caches and we had a great day.

Thanks.

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.

After a very enjoyable couple of days in Whyalla picking up quite a few caches, meeting some of the local teams at the 4wd event and even clocking up our 10,000th cache find it was time to start heading home again but of course we had to grab a few on the way out. This one did live up to the cache description, it was quite a busy road so we parked a little further up where we could get off the road with the camper and on coming back it was a nice quick find so it was more of a walk by for us but it gave us a chance to enjoy the view of the ranges off in the distance.
Thanks Team Waldron for he cache.
