Cofirmed it was gone.
Action for Tchingal

There is obviously a very big problem with this placement in regards to the nearby land owner.
This is a difficult location for a cache placement.
Limited parking, Double white line, on a bend with a high speed limit.
I imagine the owner is very angry about people stopping here.
Since the cache has been removed and there is nothing to find in the interests of responsible caching and not upsetting the local community with our placements I am archiving this cache.

28-Nov-16
We are in South Australia for a one week holiday at the Lady Bay Resort at the golf club near Normanville. Day 4 - a day closer to 'home' - south to Cape Jervis and a bit more.

Hun, can you see any Huns? Whaddayamean, other Huns? No, real Huns. What, I'm not real? No, I mean the Attila type, not you, honey! Nope - just this cache. And it has a hole in the lid - maybe it needs some CO TLC.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 10.50am on 28th November, 2016. TFTC

Easy find but parking is a bit sketchy in the immediate vicinity. TFTC.
 
27-Mar-16
Didn't like the location of this one. On a busy bend, no carparking nearby - apart from the driveway.

CO should consider relocating.
 
27-Mar-16
Cache container broken in two. Container is brittle from the elements.
 
25-Mar-16
Wouldn't recommend parking at the indicated parking coordinates as its someone's driveway. We parked just off the Wirrina road. A short walk to an easy find. Container is a bit broken and could use replacement. TFTC. 25/03/2016, 11:00 Find #1829

Out and about on days caching with anymules.

After a great morning tackling some high terrain caches at Rapid Bay with Rod81w and family, JJ52 and I were now continuing the journey of the area on our own.

An easy find but not really a pleasant experience with the owner across the road coming out and grilling us about safety on this stretch of the road which has seen 5 deaths.

She shook JJ52 up quite a bit so we were pleased to take off again.

TFTC chillibutts!

PS: container is getting brittle & has a crack but will probably be OK for a while given its location.
 
20-Mar-16
Ismartis and I came down to Rapid Bay today on a great day for caching to meet up with Rod81w to get the high terrain caches down here and then continue on finding others along the way. Big Grin

Didn't feel very safe doing this one, the long weeds and grass made it impossible to get behind the barrier. [?] The local home owner came out to see what we were doing and to explain to us how dangerous this stretch of road was and how many people have been killed here. Sad

We were very pleased to get back in the car and leave. [^]

Thanks for the cache chillibutts. Smile

A day out doing some great caching down South along the coast with CPWanderer & Clare007.
I was ready for the quick get away if anyone wanted to use their driveway. A challenging spot. TFTC.
 
20-Dec-15
Quickly found with clare007 and hevwalker12 although getting to this was quite dangerous. The traffic was very heavy and the vegetation growth behind the barrier made it impossible to approach from that side. Thanks chillibutts for the hide!!
 
20-Dec-15
We did this as quickly as possible as we parked in the driveway,
luckily no-one ventured out and questioned what we were doing.
But so many cars on a Sunday!!!
We had to stay on the side of the road to access the barrier.
Thanks for the cache chillibutts

Gee you would think civilisation had learnt something since those barbaric days, hmm, don't seemed to have.
Anacotilla the Hun sounds like he had the right idea, throw away the weapons and just chill out making seashell jewellery, bit of a dude.
We have driven past here for years and always wondered where the name for the creek came from, now we know.
Thanks chillibuts for the cache, the history info and a quick stop.
Found the cache in good condition, signed the log and replaced the cache safe and sound as found. TNLN

On a geocaching holiday with my brother, Richmond Lad. Staying at Goolwa and Murray Bridge and doing day trips to round up lots of interesting caches and some power series as well. Well done to the cache owners for finding these wonderful places and maintaining them as well. An easy find once you carefully make your way to GZ. TFTC.

Overshot the parking area for this one and had to turn around and come back. A bit hairy to get to on such a busy road. Think everyone is heading south on this long weekend holiday. Thanks.

Creepy house across the road was scarier than the cars! TFTC

The extended weekend at Cape Jervis was over. It was above 30 degrees and wriggly stick weather but I decided to take a circuitous route home and get a few caches. Cool.

Missed the park on the way down but it was much easier parking on the way home. Quick find. Didn't find any huns, pillaging or seashells! Nice creek setting but! Smile Thanks chillibutts Big Grin
 
15-Dec-13
After a tiring long weekend in Cape Jervis with brisal5 doing basically nothing other than soaking up the serenity, we left for the drive home a little sleepy after a wonderful dinner of home made curries. We decided to breakup the journey with a few caches.

We had passed this one on the way to Cape Jervis as we didn't spot a good place to park. This time we were prepared and parked at the top of the hill. After a walk we were rewarded with a pathtag. TFTC chillibuts.

Found with Team Scoobster, Froghoppin and Flipper & Co while down south for the June Long weekend event.

Parked at the specified co-ordinates and then headed over to GZ. There was no doubt where to find this one. Can you have a half star difficulty on a cache?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache chillibutts

As we drove around the area as part of the activities for the June Long Weekend Events, this cache came onto our radar. A quick stop, short hunt and the cache was in hand. The cache and its contents were in good condition. We were certainly enjoying the drive through this area - impressive scenery. TFTC chillibutts.

Hmm! parking a bit difficult but managed to get off the road far enough not to cause accidents. Lots of traffic on this long weekend so I picked my time to grab the cache. TFTC chillibutts.

On Sunday, I drove past this cache at least four times but couldn't stop for a variety of reasons (mainly other people's timeframes) Sad
So today, before leaving the area, I came back, did the locus cache and then grabbed the Hun by the neck and withdrew him from his safe place. He was shocked Surprised but I was smiling Smile

If I had parked any closer, the Hun would have had an exhaust pipe in his accommodation but on a hot day like today I was ever so happy to not have to walk very far from my airconditioned car Cool

I wasn't expecting a chillibutts cache down here. I also wasn't sure what to expect when I got there... And now that I've been there I'm still confused...

While at the Normanville caravan park at the Gonna Soak up the sun event, we headed out with our closest neighbour Mr Freddo and James and went to find some special caches. What a gorgeous area.. Thanks to chillibutts

As quoted by Wikipedia - "There is no surviving first-person account of Attila's appearance". Hell of a bloke. I can proudly say I have walked away from this cache unscathed, unlike those people who ran into Attila the Hun.
Great to see the water still flowing in the creek with a neat little waterfall only about 50m from the road. Grabbed Bushmaster TB. TFTC Chillis.
