Yep - Time to archive as I have not got around to replacing. Have another spot nearby I'd like to put a cache anyway...We'll see if that happens...
Finally got to check this one after the storm. It is gone - but possibly muggled as the cammo was not in its place. We'll see if I get a chance to replace it before Christmas....
We met yakcm yesterday at the Munyaroo 4wd caching event and she very kindly offered to show us around own today grabbing caches and also learning a bit of the history. For this we were really thank full as our in car navigator had no real idea of the streets of Whyalla and kept leading us dead ends yesterday when we were by ourselves
Not only was yakcm our driver she was also a wealth of knowledge about this area and what it used to be like. We followed the GPSr needle towards gz and kept coming up empty handed everywhere we looked and we probably would have missed this one if our guide hadn't kindly played warmer, colder.
Thanks IlludiumPU36

Finally found this after a clue from a fellow geo cacher..excellent hide after many long searches for this one.
Took a while, but finally got back to check again. Found it this time, was totally off base last time!
Phone GPS kept leading me to a bush but couldn't find it anywhere. Widened the search a bit but without some indications there were too many places to look! Will have to check back later (after reading comments and getting some clues 
.
.An easy find when you have a previous finder with you laughing at you when you are looking in all the wrong places. TFTC.
It's cheaper to remove the houses then to maintain them. Pop up to Woomera and you will see the same philosophy.
Thanks to IlludiumPU36 and clear skies from TeamAstro.
Found it after getting a phone call and standing on it!!! Love the hiding spot really good!! That dam tree spent enough time digging around! I even thought about climbing it!! Ha ha
Found it this time, I too like the rest before me, turned over the mulch, at the tree, But discovered it using JO's Co Ords TFTHSL No Blue Bugs found today.cheers diggers09
It's a DNF for us, maybe another time. Found a strange Blue Wasp, type insect, [?], spent a bit of time trying to take a photo of it, Whilst Flying around..A quick find in the rain so that I could say that I found on on leap day.
I also found one last leap day!
I also found one last leap day!
Found it after spending too much time looking where my gps told me to and not where I should have. At least the bark and mulch at the base of the tree have been turned over nicely. TFTC.
Finally found it with help I will to learn not to trust the phone gps it put me 9 m away
Found this one as a “walk up, there it is” find.
Tried to make it a bit harder for the next finder.
Thanks IlludiumPU36.

TFTCFound it today after a little advise from owner - Thanks. Again - very well hidden. TFTC
Well that 2 visits now with no luck, even with my secret weapon (wife) on the 2nd hunt. Too well hide for us at this point in time.
Returned again today and found in about 30 seconds. So annoyed I missed it last time.
Coords are a little off. Try 00.732 32.411 if you are having trouble. I'm sure the tree has been searched enough.... It's looking pretty bad since I was here last time.
Tftc.

After havin to leav the night b4 due to the rain we did hav a quick look but day 2 we had it straight away
Found it! FTF. Was thinking about how Illudium had hidden previous caches and noticed where others had already searched and decided to give those areas a miss. I came up with the cache in only 15 min...which is pretty good for this well hidden tricky cache.
Silver for me on this one. I was scratching through the undergrowth like an old chook when YR80 came up with the goods, another easy find for me as it was already in his hands. Thanks.
