Had not noticed it was disabled now - had a quick look before seeing the DNF's and deciding to move along.
Looks like Walter has wondered, the one before us didn't find either. Maybe check it out.
Up for a fund raiser Barn Dance and had the opportunity for a bit of caching with Mattycat, quick find of the cache by torchlight but we failed to find the clue will chase this one up through a phone a friend TFTC Dazzatron
#1 of 4 finds today on this our last day in Wallaroo. Have enjoyed the Cornish Festival and the Blessing of the Water, the breakfast and the Car Cavalcade this morning were wonderful. This was a very quick find which was good as I was introducing a new friend to caching. TNLN SL TFTC Dazzatron
Came to the lovely YP to see and experience the Kernewek Lowender and of course visit a good friend. Cached today after the Cavalcade of Cars, which I highly recommend watching and the tourist railway around the mines. . This was found during that time. Thanks for the caches we loved them.
Looked about 18 months ago and couldn't find - suspect it was awol, as spec or straight away this time. TFTC
Out for a nice drive today grabbing a few caches along the way. Saw the cache as we walked towards it. [^]
Thanks for the cache Dazzatron.

Thanks again Darren
Thanks again Darren
Day 6 into my epic road journey with the bogonghazy's had us heading north to Wallaroo and picking up a swag of caches along the way.
Thankfully the cache hasn't gone a wandering with Walter. Signed and off. Thanks Dazzatron

This was in the first place we looked which was a good thing because it is hard to look inconspicuous here in the middle of the day This is going to be a great area once the development is completed. TNLNSL TFTC
Walked straight up to this one, it was on the ground without a lid. Replaced it where I think it was but it still hasn't got a lid so might not stay dry for long. Thanks for the cache.
Quick find as cache was laying on ground in full view. Magnetic ability is no longer...needs attention..tftc..
[Teal] As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. Dad did most of the hard work here and the detail of our find can be found in the Rats log. Sorry for the duplicate log but it takes nothing away from the find.
Thanks for showing us this spot on our trip.

Between checking in and dinner there is time to go a caching. This one was the closest to the hotel. TFTC
Away for a few days before getting to SYP to place a few caches.
This one couldn't have been here last time I was here.
Thanks to all who placed caches.

So this is where Walter's gone ??
The cache was a nice easy find
I grabbed some tools from the bike repair kit and straightened out the tin.
It doesn't have a lid, but at least you can get the logbook out of it now
With the magnet still attached, it is back in place and should remain safe and dry !!
While I was signing the logbook, the 'thing' inside the shed started up [:o]
It sounded like a laundrette !!

Had a bit of trouble in the dark on what should have been an easy find.
Thanks Dazzatron for placing this cache and sharing this area with us!

Our for some evening caching with Shaido and team GPS. GPS took but moments to find this one.
Day four with Alansee and Micaparamedic we were now based in Wallaroo for another three days of caching fun
We were starting to think that Walter may have gone wandering again as we could find nothing around gz for a little while. We then read a few logs and went back to a place we had checked earlier but this time located the cache, not sure how we missed it the first time around. As we grabbed the container the motor in the nearby shed started operating and we all looked a each other thinking "oooh" did we do that. Quite bizarre. We added our initials to the log and retuned it to it's hide
To save room in the logs we signed as M.A.C.( Micaparamedic Alansee and Team Crackers).
Thanks for the cache
On a caching assault of the Yorke Peninsular with alansee and Team Crackers over the last six days. We have found many caches which have proven enjoyable and sometimes challenging Alansee had worked diligently in planning routes we would take to minimize wasted kilometres driven to find the numbers we have been able to do. Most logs have been signed as MAC (micaparamedic, alansee and crackers)
Many thanks Dazzatron for placing this cache .

Found with Team Crackers and Micaparamedic. Took a few minutes to find this one in an obvious spot! Every time we went past it since we could spot it!
On the way to an awesome JLWE 2014 and being early for the ferry I took my time and grabbed a few caches along the way. This was number three for the morning.
This one required a fair amount of effort on my part. I certainly don't consider myself short but I'm not a giant either but after creating a few muddy puddles I managed to grab this one. Nearly got muggled out after signing by someone who clearly took an interest in me but he didn't stick around to quiz me further. TFTC Dazzatron!

Sushilord and I had a good look for this one but came up empty handed, couldn't locate it even with his long extendo arm looking in what I suspect was the right place.
No luck for us and we had a 4wd that liked to keep driving past us so we soon moved on.
Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia after having attended Oz Mega.
After our mixed up day yesterday we were up early and ready to head out with iluvtrekking to start where we left off yesterday at Moonta then up to Wallaroo.
All good until the first cache where we encountered some car problems These pestered us for a little while then magically disappeared so back on target or so we thought. The weather was magnificent and the pesky little flies mostly stayed away.
We had some fun and found a few caches. Sadly we seemed to yet again struggle with some multi's [8)]
All in all a great day seeing some great places thanks to Geocaching, including Moonta, Port Hughes, Wallaroo and Alford.

While based in Moonta Bay we ventured out to find this cache. Enjoyed looking around this lovely area and finding a variety of hides. Nice one. Thanks to Dazzatron.
After seeing in the logs that Ian & Penny had been unsuccessful with this one, we were worried that it would be another DNF for today. Trev looked just that bit harder and soon had it found and logged. Thanks again Dazzatron, you're certainly been busy placing caches around here.
Wasn't hopeful after so many dnf's but there it was.
Thanks for the cache Dazzatron

Didn't find Walter but a nice'little old lady' asked me for directions to Moonta which was a 'bit of a hoot' as I am a visitor myself..But...! the 'good old I phone' to the rescue.. and she was on her way .. Had just signed log and was putting cache back so had to explain what I was doing 'looking line an idiot'..!!! TFTC
Placed a temp cache here to get it back online will try and get a proper replacement out soon.
Seems he has wandered away for good this time so will have to get a replacement out soon.
It appears Walter's gone a wandering again.
No luck for us today
