Was Found 5 Year's Ago

Found the bottom on the ground, looked around and saw the treasure. All put back, safe and sound. Very cute

What a great idea.TFTC

TFTC

A quick find with frmen1. No action today. TFTC

Found with the accurate coords. Thanks.

Today was day 3 of 6 for our SA trip from Qld. Today we drove from Port Augusta to Adelaide. Not meant to be am all day trip, but when you add many cache stops, it is. Today was raining, but that didn't stop me from hunting down the ones I had on my list. Was very grateful that most were a quick find.Favourite point for something different.

OCW PelDroedGwin and geodog Peppa Fly in here for the cache after a trip into town. Cute hide. Tftc

Ocw the Bebes. Had a good search and eventually found the cache in its hiding spot. All good condition. Tftc

Found this with gridge98 on our getaway to the Eyre Peninsula! TFTC

My 2nd day of my trip heading to and around the Eyre Peninsular. Today I left from Applia and ended up in Iron Knob for the night. This cache would be find number 21 of 34 for the day and find Number 29 in total for this trip away.

I looked around for a bit then found something on the ground which I assumed was the hide searched a bit more and found where it went. A good Idea for a hide I placed back how I think it should be,

TFTC captain sweatpants

Nice hide here, it took us quite a few minutes to find it as we were looking at the wrong height but eventually spotted the nicely hidden cache

This weekend, Courtneyrose_ and I headed over to Kyancutta for the JLWE event, spending 5 days away we headed to Whyalla and Cleve along the way finding caches here and there before the event, before b-lining back home.

Thanks for the cache

Cheers for the cache

Trip to Port Augusta for Veterans Golf and time to grab a few caches on the way. As well as some more on the return trip back home. Good find TFTC

Log sheet replaced 11/9/22

No fires today TFTC fav point for container but log is full

Nearly went to a large object that perfectly fit the description before checking the terain rating. Whoops, could have surprised a resident
The neat cache was found soon after.

TFTC and greetings from Tassie

They say it’s worth two in the bush. A fun hide here this morning. TFTC

Many thanks

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Looked at posted coords and coords in previous lig coords and definitely not there

Ridiculous. Is it at the posted coords or 48m SE? Searched in both locations.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Seems the coordinates are out by about 50 metres CO needs to update so the cache can be found.

Didn’t know where to look

Didn’t know where to look

Wow, a great cache! Thanks you

Searched for about 15min but couldn’t find

Spent awhile searching here before finding some different coordinates in the logs .
Walked across the road and made a quick find at the new location .
Nicely done [^]. TNLNSL.
Thanks Captain sweatpants.

After traipsing around Western Queensland for 4 1/2 weeks then having to head to Northern Territory then SA to try and get back home that way due to border closures.
After escaping from NT to SA I was spending a few days in SA before heading back to lockdown in Victoria.
Staying at Quorn for a couple of nights and after ditching the van in the caravan park it was time to try and find all of the caches around here and also the ones on the way back to Stirling North.
A lot easier to pull over with out a van.
Made my to this one and found the airfield and tanks.
A couple of cars went by and beeped and waved at me, maybe they knew what I was up to.
Searched in a few spots and soon had the well themed cache in hand.
A fav goes out to you for the construction of this one.

Thanks captain sweatpants TFTC.

I love the cache construction, have another FP. Thanks tattsus for mentioning the correct coordinates; I wouldn’t have found it otherwise.

After a bit of searching we were unable to locate this one

Awesome cache. Thought we would have to really search for this one, but had the birdie in hand within a minute.
Cache is definitely in a public area.
To save future cachers looking back through the logs, here are the updated co odds.
S 32 31.722
E 137 51.148

Tried the other coords but too much other crap lying around and prickly bushes, plus creeping around a facility. Yeah, nah.

Returning from an extended weekend break down at Port Lincoln. Throughout the trip I have been specifically targeting old caches, caches with lots of favourite points, solved mysteries and any other interesting caches that I find myself near.

With all these favourite points, I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. I used the new coordinates that have not been updated on the web page - see previous finder’s log.

At GZ there are a few items I needed to discount before I set my eyes on something interesting. On closer inspection, I knew this was the cache. Not wanting to spoil it for future finders, all I’ll just say is great job. Very unique and inventive hide. Worth every favourite point and more. In fact, here is one more to add to the collection.

Please update the cache page with the updated coordinates so future finders can have a frustration- free go at it.

Congratulations on a great cache.

Thanks for the awesome cache captain sweatpants.

Pretty cool

Well that didn’t go the way I thought it would! Very creative! TFTC. Another favourite point for this one.

Fantastic hide! Love the design. Found the updated coordinates in the logs but still seems to be incorrect on my app. TFTC!

DNF searched its given coordinates and surroundings pretty thoroughly and could not find anything suitable as a log only cache

Just checked the cache is in place and the co-ordinates are correct as at 2pm on 30th Sept 2020.
Good hunting

Looked at the photo gallery and these are all photos of the previous location please don't be misled by them (I don't know how to remove them) haha sorry.

TFTC co ordinates not at location stated, it was relocated by owner to southern side of road, s32’ 31.722 e137’ 51.148

Nope! Not here abouts!

??

No luck with this one

No luck. GPS going crazy. Next time.

Bar couldn't find it. Any hints

Second time lucky with this cache. Out for a ride with my daughter and thought we would try again today. Tftc captain sweatpants

Out caching for Father’s Day with the family, had a good look round but no luck today

It was time to farewell Quorn after the JLWE with LiB...
Heading home and collecting a few smileys along the way...

Found with e.gregory1 on our way back from the Quorn June Long Weekend Event. Thanks for the cache Captain Sweatpants!

Found with FeatherWaite as we headed back towards Adelaide after attending the Quorn June Long Weekend events.

Thanks captain sweatpants for the cache.

We are in Quorn for the June Long Weekend. We are pseudo JLWE eventers as whilst we are here we are not doing the game day on Sunday. But with so many cachers around and so much going on couldn't resist making the journey up.
Camping at the Quorn Campsite so the hound doesn't upset anyone, what a lovely campsite it is too.
Had an terrific day of caching, today was about quality over quantity. It was a wonderful day to be alive, the scenery was spectacular, we loved seeing the Pichi Richi train. Quorn is a lovely place, we found the people to be so welcoming. We couldn't do as much as we wanted with the dog in tow but we still had a brilliant weekend.
Without a doubt we will be back up here sometime to head a bit deeper into the Flinders Ranges and see a bit more of the lovely scenery.
Headed to this one because of all the favourite points. We found a bison at the base of a tree, not sure this is what it is supposed to be as that wouldn't warrant all the FP. Looking back at the logs looks like the coordinates may have changed we visited the listed coordinates. If the cache has moved thinking the CO should update the listing and remove the original container. TFTC anyway captain sweatpants

Relocated the cache due to changed local conditions. New co-ordinates are:
S 32° 31.721 E 137° 51.149 (have updated on the cache description).

Happy hunting cachers

Love the concept. Camo coming apart. Found part on the ground - log sheet missing. Inserted new log sheet and replaced as should be but CO needs to apply some cache tlc.

Found it, apparently the string broke, may need replacing.

quick find as we headed out for the day! TFTC

Awesome Find

This one took some searching and finished up being smaller than I was expecting.
Foundvwhile spending some time in Port Augusta while traveling around Australia - 18 months on the road so far. TFTC

8108 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1200. Always love a cache with pizzazz a favourite from us.SL Tnx captain sweatpants.

We have been travelling since January when we left Geelong and travelled up the centre to Alice then Darwin. We crossed the border into WA at the start of May and completed the Gibbs river road which has been one of the highlights so far
From Broome we travelled to cape leveque to find the best beach ever
From Broome we have then zig zagged from coast to inland to make sure we saw as much as we could
We are travelling along at our own pace and so will cache and see as much of the area as we can
Honestly it’s thank to caching that we get to see so much
TFTC
We have decided to stop in port Augusta for a few days as it seems to always be a place we drive straight through on our way back and forth up and down the centre
Well done on the cache

I was travelling from Broken Hill to Port Augusta, targetting caches at reasonable intervals to break the journey. After checking in at my motel, I headed out of town for a couple more caches for the day. This was the first of three. Very nice work.



My thanks to captain sweatpants for the cache.

Nice work on the cammo.
Found eventually, about 6m from where GPSr wanted me to be. Was about to give up due to all the tissue paper around the trees!
TNLNSL
Thanks

TFTC Thanks to previous cacher I was able to sign the log

Nice Easy find after some tricky caches! Thanks!

Replaced and slightly repositioned due to vandalism. Coordinates should still be accurate enough!

Found it cheers

An easy drive by. Thanks

Very cool find. It took us a while to find. TFTC

Very good hide TFTC

The logbook was missing but hard to find and interesting

TYFTC. With LukeyBullfrog, Kaayia18. Team Kayche!!

Wow! Robbed the nest!
Put a log in as no log. TFTC. Clever!

Cute little cache. No log book found inside though

found it on the return trip from Whyalla over the Adelaide cup long weekend. Tent is up and getting some more caches before dark. quick find.

I have a similar one back in Adelaide, hand made with my mini maker. fav pont.

When I saw the Favourite Points for this one I just had to grab it before I go home to Adelaide tomorrow after spending a fantastic relaxing weekend away up here in Port Augusta / Stirling North at the Fuller Views Cabin Park (Highly Recommended [^])

Made a quick find at GZ and it brought a big smile to my face straight away. I can see why it's got 36 Favourite Point's... here's another (#37).

Took pics and SL at 16:46. The cache and contents are in A1 condition. Thanks for bringing me here and for the cool cache creation [^], captain sweatpants
