Checked on this one while in the area and checked both spots where we have seen this one in the past and it is no where to be seen, cache is definitely gone, did not have a suitable replacement and it takes a unique container to go back here.

CACHE STOLEN AGAIN so will have to archive

With all of the DNF's and the CO living in NSW I think it's time for this one to go
 
22-Nov-14
Might be time for a check up...
 
15-Oct-14
Looked for ages, but two pairs of eyes just couldn't find it :/
 
06-Oct-14
Out for a days caching with some friends in and around chain of ponds and Gumeracha. It was a great day until later in the afternoon when the wind picked up and we all decided it was time to return home. This was our third day of caching in a row and we all had a ball.

Sadly a DNF we could not find this hide, we looked with four sets of eyes and not one of set could find it. We will be back to find this cache.

TFTC attempt Smile

Nowhere to be found
 
16-Aug-14
No joy for us.
 
12-Aug-14
We pulled up here on our travels north and started to search for the cache. We couldn't get an accurate fix as the GPSr didn't want to settle. A muggle then pulled up across the road and wasn't in a hurry to leave so we called it a DNF and will return another day.
 
03-Aug-14
Searched and searched, but alas, no cache. Had fun trying, though! Sad

Was a bit easy but lots of fun.

Found on a fun filled night of caching the area with 3LG and Earthlight
Took our TB's along for the ride

26-May-14
After visitng this spot several weeks ago knew where to look.
Muggles had been everywhere then but a dark wintery night made it almost muggle free.
Arrived to see a vehicle parked and person standing smoking.
Waited till they left and went to sign log.
Cache had moved from one end of area to the other.
Left where found.
Caching with 3LG on our way to the Barossa.
Took trackables to visit.

Day 8 of my trip to the Oz Mega in Murray Bridge with Mistraluna.

After packing up we started on the long trip home.

Found without problems.

Thanks farmer--brown for the cache.
(398 of 629 for the trip.)
 
21-Apr-14
Day 8 and a sad day for us - time to head home. Lots of new friends made whilst over here though, and what a fantastic time we have have had. But all good things must come to an end, or so they say. Our one consolation though is the fact that there are lots of caches still waiting to be found on the return trip.

Decided to cut across to Gawler via this cache. So many little towns along the way. Thanks farmer--brown
 
20-Apr-14
Woohoo!

This simple cache was turning into a Nemesis Cache, as I've been here several times now (in between the frequent Op-Shop days) and came up with zilch every time. Returning from a day trip in the Barossa, I had the family to help me and we started from scratch searching all the possible places. We had the place to ourselves so we could be quite thorough. After about 15 minutes my better half suggested that I stop using my phone's gps and bring out the new Oregon I got for my birthday a few week ago. With the co-ords plugged in, the arrow led me 10m away from where we were looking and within seconds, I quickly spotted the ellusive critter. You Beauty. Now, I'm not sure if the new unit is just better than what I had been using, or that using other brand makes a difference. Either way, I'm stoked!

Kersbrook Hall nemesis no more!

Thanks for the cache, Farmer--Brown.

Over in Adelaide visiting family before the Oz Mega on the weekend. Out with the cousins on a glorious day, who we introduced to caching only a couple of hours earlier. - Phoenix_4
We visited the Rocking Horse and had lunch nearby then set off for The Whispering Wall. We took a while to find this one. TFTC farmer--brown - GJMMelb
 
10-Apr-14
Today we decided to drive up into the Adelaide Hills and then thru the Baroosa. Had to be very selective as to the caches we were going to attempt as we also wanted to do the tourist thing and see the sights as well. Parked in the Cul de sac and walked over to the hall. Just how tall do you have to be to reach this one without assistance. Lucky I had assistance. TLC required. TFTC
 
09-Feb-14
We had a lot of trouble the GPS here but eventually after reading the hint, we found the cache but could not sign as we are vertically challenged.

Last cache find of the night.... I had been here previously but this time I brought someone tall enough to retrieve Smile
We were questioned by the police.... oops we were lost!!!!
Thanks

Had attempted this one previously but now know we where looking in the wrong spot. After getting some clues from the logs, it wasn't long before we had the cache in hand. TFTC

Got to GZ and were muggled out so after the coast was clear little Smirchie was able to make the find with a little help

We ventured up to Hahndorf today to meet up with Muggle In law and Muggle friends.
A quick find was made after reading some of the previous logs.
Find was quickly located and signed.TFTC
 
20-Oct-13
Looked around all the "i think it may be there" spots to no avail, we were being watched by the local magpie who was probably waiting for us to throw her some food, after checking a few spots we read some logs and soon had what we came here for, nice little hide but i reckon we would get some weird looks if the muggles were around : ) TFTC
 
11-Oct-13
Finally found it TFTC

Found on our trip back from Adelaide to Barossa. Youngest timid found it quickly with Geodad. TFTC
 
23-Sep-13
Thanks to google earth we had a good fix on this, but a bit out of our reach. Had to use adjacent aparatus. Grabbed on the way to the Barossa. As we left the carpark a car turned it; hope it wasn't because of us. Thanx
 
17-Sep-13
Looked and looked.. Then read previous logs and used the co-ord previous finder posted and wham! Cache in hand. Lucky nick is tall because Lozzie would struggle to reach this one! Tftc

Bring a pen or a ruler. Bit of a stretch.
 
13-Sep-13
With Shaido, Nice little hide. You defiantly need to stretch yourself to get this one.
 
17-Aug-13
yay! it seems to only way to find this cache is to go there on a wet and windy day. So we did and finally located it and signed. TFTC

Tricky one! Needed to lift my child up to reach it
 
23-May-13
Out for a quick drive with caching buddy. We made use of his amazing caching equipment to repair this hide and it should last another 2 years.
 
23-May-13
Almost 2 weeks into my holidays with hardly any caching. Sad I really was crook. [B)] Phoned Mrs. M who said she could spare a couple of hours in the morning so picked her up and off we went. Again a cache check for her and a quick cache find for me. Smile As I did the reach a tradie pulled in to make a phone call. Signed the log but couldn't replace it. Saw the lid was cracked and loose so returned to the geo mobile and made the necessary repairs but that tradie just wouldn't leave. So the cache went with us up the road to find another cache. We came back on he was still there. So we stopped down the road and was searching throught the GPS went the tradie passed us so we were able to go back and replace it. What an adventure. Thanks farmer-brown. Big Grin

On my way back from One Tree Hill event.
Thought I might try my luck with the darkness, but a concerned neighbour interrupted further searching.

Tried to find this one once before but muggles were in place and not moving. Nice and easy find. Sl. Tftc.

A drive around on a day off with Go Vans to collect some caches that we never seem to be able to get around to. Thanks for the hide, not for the short!
 
25-Apr-13
Out for a drive on Anzac Day to see the countryside that our service men and women are keeping safe.
A very big thank you to them for putting their lives on the line everyday. TFTC
 
22-Apr-13
Had to pop up to Kersbrook for the morning and decided a few caches on the way home was the go. Took some time on this one until I read the logs. Being well less than 6 foot, the challenge became how the heck was I going to get this down! Drove the car up to a good climbing spot and alas the cache was in hand. Went off to the next nearby cache and discovered I had the plastic bag for the log still in my pocket!! Back I went and carefully placed the car back again!!

A great family day out today as we had to go to a scout camp, we decided to spend the day caching our way up there. The day saw us get our individual 100th caches and our sister got her 200th cache, other sister got her 100th cache. We saw the chocolate factory and big rocking horse and finally got to camp in time for mum to hurt herself. Thankyou for the cache, we had a great day out.

Headed out to try for a FTF and muggle partner agreed to come for a drive (despite having heaps he wanted to do at home).
A few hours later, we had found 11 caches, had a great lunch at Amberlight Cafe at Lobethal and he even stated later that 'it was a relaxing day!' Cool
Glad 6'3" muggle partner was with me for this one! Wink
A quick find and, with his assistance, a quick retrieval.

#1996 13:09:00 It was a short distance from Hahndorf to the Barossa Valley. So we had some time to fill in and what's better than caching during the day. This cache was a quick and nice find.
Thanks for the hide and greetings from Bavaria [green]Sospetto & Sospetta[/green]

About two months ago I hid a moveable cache nearby while making a toilet stop, not realising this cache was right behind me. Since someone logged a DNF on the other one, I came to check on it, and saw on my GPSr that this was very close by.

We also had the GPS vs Phone war.. seems the inaccuracy of the phone lead us to the cache, where our GPS said 5m. Winner to the Andriod phone Very Happy:D

Had to sit tight until some motorists had left after using the toilets. GPS was a bit off but after a quick search, I spotted it. The getting it down whilst trying to maintain stealth was the hard part. TFTC

We were heading out to complete the series of caches in [url=http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/parks/Find_a_park/Browse_by_region/Barossa/Hale_Conservation_Park]Hale Conservation Park[/url] and needed to make a pit stop on the way. geoD pulled in here and we quickly realised there was a cache here that we had bailed on previously as the shop had been opened.

In the end the cache was spotted by geoP but geoD had to make the retrieve. Glad to be able to cross this one off the list.

How many people can visit a toilet on a Sunday. Gave up and went and got an ice cream and ate it under the veranda until the coast was clear.
Then went in for the grab.

**This is a late log, found in my GSAK and it had never updated due to the cache being archived**
Was here in the company of MtnLioness, Skippy, Vrso and Mr Scoobster showing Vrso from slovokia a few of the sites in the hills and trying to find some kangaroos and other Aussie wildlife. We saw most of what we were after. Found this cache in the process. Thanks farmer-brown
