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.

Angry neighbour screaming at us from the other side of the road. Didn’t find the cache in any case. Pity
Booger man kept saying he found it and holding up rubbish by the road. We got yelled at by a muggle.
Team MADS went out for a drive again.
(Matty, Alex, Diana - Purrfect Di, and Sebastbat)
No huns were seen, and I don't know how you get behind the rail,
but a very quick find and sign was achieved before a quick getaway.

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

Mrs Niftybridge found this one with Mrs Grumpi68 while our partners were geocaching at Lameroo.
21.10.16 tftc found by Mrs G after putting the app on her phone, while I was caching in lamaroo today she found this while heading to wirrina today with Mrs niftybridge
Managed to park the car right next to this one - log signed and then back in the car.
Didn't like the location of this one. On a busy bend, no carparking nearby - apart from the driveway.
CO should consider relocating.
CO should consider relocating.
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
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.

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

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.

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!!
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.

Found it after reading the hint. Couldn't park in designated spot due to muggle owner of driveway weeding.
Staying down the road literally and found this while out for a stroll after dinner. TFTC
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

Last few at second valley were missing so I was disappointed, this makes my night a bit better!
We are staying in Normanville with earthlight for a few days, it is day 2 and today we make our way to rapid bay area grabbing caches along the way, this was certainly in a interesting spot, the roads were quiet so it was all good for me : ) TFTC
In South Australia on holidays for 10 days of caching. This cache was quickly found and on our way to the next one. TFTC
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.
Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

Another interesting SA cache found on holiday whilst making my way to OzMega Murray Bridge. You take your life in your hands with this one. Logged from my Garmin GPS phone. SL.TNLN.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. .
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! Thanks chillibutts

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.

Heading off home after the JLW...well this is a little detour....Couldn't not do it now, could I?
Found this one with Moneydork and Skippy during JLWE festivities. You really should write WhereIgo Storylines... or even nightcache storylines -- you're very imaginitive! Thanks Chilli!
Found whilst attending JLWE event. Great to get some caches ticked off in the area!
GREAT JOB !!!!

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

Quick find with our Navigator Dazzatron for the JLWE we were on the way past and thought we may as well do this one quickly. TFTC
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.
9th find of day 2 of my June Long Weekend Caching Trip.
Ran into 2y'stassies looking for this one so joined in and had it in no time.

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.
Was heading down for the JLWE a day early to clear the playing field so there was no distractions on game day. Grabbed a few others on the way.
Quick find. TFTC.

2nd time for this one, raining and wet today but on our way over to Kangaroo Island for a few days, having a 2 day stopover here so doing some caching. TFTC
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)
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 but I was smiling
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

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.

Last Christmas, Ingy's daughter gave us a voucher to stay a night at Wirrina, so tonight's the night!
Wound our way down past all the beaches and found a couple of caches on the way.
Sheesh I see what you mean about being careful ... vroooom.

Easy find, but care needed finding a parking space, because of traffic . Dropped off travel bug. TFTC
I missed the parking spot but found another (not so legal) closer to the cache.
Thanks for the cache chillibutts.

Popped out to find a cache in the dark... saw somebody in the kitchen window?
Quick one. Certainly heavy traffic area. I was surprised at the size of the cache Cache is good. TFTC
