I was at the nearby camp site with a group of students having a picnic lunch. A small group of us went for a wander around and one of the students quickly spotted the hide.Thanks
Tried this one a few years back with no luck. But got em this time. Thanks
Out caching around Kuitpo forest and Prospect hill today. Took a couple seconds to spot and the cache was in hand. Signed log and left as found, cheers.Find #6480 on 29 Dec 2023.TFTC ajtmb!SAs Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - Feb 29th, 2024. Keep the date free!
We found this cache 2nd for the afternoon - such a lovely spot and it took a while. Then we went on our way. Hill2Sea realised that she had lost some cards somewhere during the afternoon and we began backtracking. The cards were at this spot (after checking a handful of others), and we ended up having our afternoon tea here - lucky it's a lovely spot. Thanks for the hunt today.
A lovely weekend getaway with gridge98, we camped at Kuitpo and did Parkrun there the next morning! TFTC!
Camped up here for the night so made the short walk down to find this one, cache was easily found just swinging. Cache is all goodToday Courtneyrose_ and I headed south from Adelaide to Kuitpo for a nights camping. Along the way we stopped off at Scotts Creek for a walk and met up with Freddo to do some tree fishing. Thanks for the series
First time in this park. Met by a very friendly ranger. Took us a while but glad to say, found and log stamped. Thanks AJTMB for the hunt.
nice cache guarded by kangaroos. log was crammed in, in seperate pieces, tried to roll it up nice
The kids were about to give up for the tenth time in the two minutes we were in the area but when you see it, you see it.
After a big day out kayaking yesterday, I needed to give my arms and shoulders a rest so dime bush walking was on the cards today.
I had a very enjoyable day predominately bush walking and Geocaching around the Kuitpo Forest. I spotted kangaroos, a koala and an abundance of butterflies. Some GZs were amongst high “snakey looking “ grass, I am happy to report no snake encounters today.
A pretty long search here. I used previous photos to narrow down the search area. Tricky one.
Thanks for the cache ajtmb.

In the area with a group of year 11 ODE students. Made the find in the rain. Thanks.
Day 432 ( Tuesday 3rd ) of our trip. Caching along the way, in Meadows today. Off to tackle some of the caches in forest. TFTC
Log is wet, if I have time I will go back and change.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to Kuitpo with our mountain bikes to ride the Kuitpo / Prospect Hill trails. For a warm-up, we first stopped off at the northern-eastern side of the vicinity around Choorkaloo Camp Site to find a few remaining *Animal Facts* caches and others around the place. We then had a proper session on our mountain bikes, before closing out the day with a short walk in the southern side in Kyeema Conservation Park, and a few drive-by caches between Meadows and Echunga.
With reports of inaccurate coordinates, we weren't sure where to start looking. We had our suspicions to the container type judging by the geocache's name, and just began scouring the trees and objects. We reviewed past logs and images uploaded, with a few rather helpful ones in fact. Still after 10-15 minutes, nothing was spotted until we were close to giving up. As it turned out, the coordinates were almost bang on, so trust them! The hide wasn't the best, just because of how the cache was attached and possible damage to the tree (I think it is against geocaching guidelines). The cache container was in good shape, but looks to be missing a vital o-ring seal, hence the logbook was quite wet/damp, and so probably needs CO attention soon. Thanks ajtmb for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/@jesswrigley stamp.

Out in the forest with a group of students and hoped to show them a couple of caches but sadly no luck for us. We looked high and low with no success except for the spiders
Searched for a bit-good camo. Ended up looking a previous finders photo. Log was too wet to sign (did try) have sent a photo to CO. Tftc.
Found it! Bit of a tricky spot but found after closely looking at nearby trees. Log too wet to write on
Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.
Finally our house sit at Willunga has come to an end. We left the house at midday, to arrive at Chookarloo in time to watch Bathurst Race
14:59 Raining now, but we pressed on to this near by cache. Wet thru - the log book, not us. Well cammoed. Thanks ajtmb

Great geocache, well placed but watch out for the ants nearby! Log too wet to sign. TFTC
Found it this time! Worked out that our GPS was way out last time (by at least a km!). This time we were walked straight to the hide with compass working well! Great hide. TFTC.
Too many trees around here! Great fun. We waited for it to pop out at us but no luck today. Thanks anyway
This cache took quite some time to find. We got to the published coordinates which were out in the open. We gradually widened our search area up to 15m but didn't locate the cache. We then started to move back towards the published coordinates and at one spot one of us was looking in the right direction and at the right height to locate the cache. At this point we were 7m from the published coordinates. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks ajtmb for the cache.
Needs maintenance, found on the ground have reconnected to the hiding spot but no log
Found with NiciDanielle and Zoe the Geodog. Great hide, except it was discombobulated and on the ground, no log to be seen anywhere. TFTC
We were enjoying our day out so much we decided to explore this camping area for a possible trip later in the year. Found this one nice and quickly TFTC
Spent a couple of days at Kuitpo with the 4WD club and got in some caching as well. TFTC.
Sat nav just wouldn't settle so I couldn't even identify GZ. I even had Montana pointing one way and iPhone pointing another. I had a solid 20min look at each and every 'tree' (lots of saplings and tall trunks, few branches), avoiding the prickle bushes. Little stood out as cacheable. So this one has defeated me.
Good one. Took a while to find it. Dad found it first and then gave us a slight hint. Eventually we found it.
Spent a great day caching around Kuitpo on an unseasonably drizzly February day - 21 finds with 8 TB's. Noted the difficulty rating and the previous logs, and then timed ourselves on this one - it took a full 15 minutes for both of us to spot the little blighter - hiding in plain sight! We must have walked past it half a dozen times - doh! A satisfying find. Thanks AJTMB for the cache.
I lovely walk in a lovely area. This one had us puzzled for awhile, but we ended up finding it just hangin' around.

What a great cache. Easy to spot when you know where to look! Like the walk here and lucky the rain held off. Number 5 of 5 for the morning. TNLN. Cheers.
2nd time I've looked for this one, once you see it, it's as if it was lit up in neon!
Log was mush but have replaced it with so called water proof paper from the states, time will tell, so good for the next forty-four people.
Thanks for the hide.

We are in NSW caching and will replace the log when we return in December, if the next finder would like to remove the wet mushy log and just replace it with a bit of paper until we return that would be great. Regards AJ and Theresa (AJTMB)
Hi ajtmb, see photo attached to our log, the log book in the cache is saturated and is now just a mushy mess. Needs a new one.
Thanks
Thanks
Located this sneaky one without too much trouble.
Unfortunately the log is just a mushy mess. (See attached photo.) Not a hope of writing on this one!
Thanks ajtmb.

Camping in Kuitpo, went for a night walk to gather some smilies . Nice hide... very wet log. TFTC
Is still there! Those who can't find it: Take note of previous Cachers' comments. Paper soaked through so this log'll have to do!
It is there!
If you can't spot it: read other comments;)
Paper completely soaked though

Found with our Caching buddy Ava. The container needs a new o-ring, contents a bit soggy.
We had a look at a pic in the past logs for a hint as the GPS was bouncing and thought "that could be anywhere"... the second we looked up from the phone it was 2 meters in front of us...hah.
