Had a good look around but no cache was revealed before the allotted time was up.
Hopefully I'll have more luck next time.
Thanks for the hunt Nightmare4000

Log saturated and unable to sign as per photo. Left new log in plastic bag.
I don't think we were really prepared/dressed appropriately dressed for this one... A DNF for us today.
Found It!
Quick find today - not really sure how I missed that last time I was here!

Our last find for today. After reading through past logs it was clear the co-ordinates should be updated... S35 01.201 E138 47.438 seem to work better ;c) Once we worked that part out, it was an easy find :c) TFTC!!
Found it while out caching for the afternoon with Geo Daughers 1funnyhoney and 1pinkexplorer

After picking up Mrs frog from singing practice we headed off with Mattycat for a few caches around the area, a short search from torchlight and the clues TFTC Nightmare4000
Out for an afternoon/evening of cache hunting fun with Mr and Mrs Froghoppin.
The bush seems to have died away long ago,
and sadly no blueberries were eaten in the finding of this cache

Looked around for quite awhile, also using the clue, but wihout luck [B)]. Another cacher/dogwalker joined in the search, but we still couldn't locate this one .
We'll keep watch to see if someone else can find it .
Thanks Nightmare4000.

After dropping the Geodaughter at softball I grabbed a few caches on the way home. TFTC.
After several DNFs today this one will also need to join the list - another time.
Needed a cache for my calender and decided this would be the one. Read all the previous logs, entered the corrected coordinates and went straight to the spot. Still took about 5 minutes before the light bulb went on and I went DOH. Thanks Nightmare4000 aonther day filled in.
We drive past this one often, but today was the day to give it a go, and voila! It wasn't quite where we first thought, but on a second look, Geoson J came up with the goods!
TFTC.

The way is much clearer as they have been spraying.... soon found, but a struggle getting back as I am a lady with not much scrambling skills! -haha TFTC.
poked around for a good 15 minutes in the dark this afternoon, found large spiders, blackberries, but no cache. I'll have to return in the daylight another day. TFTC!
Travelled over from New Zealand for the SA Mega, teamed up with Vistra to gather a few more caches as we travelled from Murray Bridge to Adelaide.
Quick scramble down the bank trying to avoid the blackberry bushes. Thanks for the cache

I am over from New Zealand for Oz Mega 2014 and on my last day in town joined forces with Yorkshirekiwi83 to knock off a few more caches before heading to Adelaide for the night. Soon found the cache here after navigating the fence and blackberries - TFTC!
Ouch...not.....Found this cache over the Easter Oz Mega weekend. The day was pleasantly overcast and cool for the "hike" to this cache. Thanks for the fun and adding to the mega amount of caches in the local area!
Clear skies to Nightmare4000 from TeamAstro.

We walked down the culvert to gz. Still we had to have a good poke around to find the well hidden container. Thanks Nightmare4000

Well hidden took some finding.
Thanks Nightmare4000, we found your cache.

Chose to head down the freeway this afternoon to visit Hahndorf and whilst there pick up a few of the local geocaches around the area great spot for a day out with plenty to see great area thanks for the cache nightmare4000
We were on our way to Dinner at Hahndorf and this cache was on our way. We thought this was going to be a Win, Win, Cache. Find a Cache and Pick some Blackberries. Well I guess 1 out of 2 ain't bad. Found the cache but sadly hardly any Blackberries in reach at the moment and we weren't prepared to go hunting. TFTC
As I needed to be at Oakbank today, decided to enjoy the weather and extend the drive to Hahndorf.
Took two laps of the area to find, but the clue clinched the find.
Picked a few blackberries on the way out.
Incidentally, Mt Barker is also celebrating its 175th year.

The first time Owl was here she took one look at the location and went home. With the new coordinates and clues it's an easy find, though she still had to be careful of blackberries, barbed wire and a dodgy knee.
Found with Clulesss
25/3/14 immediate find. Appears to have fallen down. Put it back, we did.

Blueberry bushes? I didn't see any but there were still some blackberries around.
Thanks for the cache Nightmare4000.

Mr Tardis was visiting Hahndorf today and stopped here to grab this new one. Found it using the hint and FeatherWaite's co-ordinates. I managed to avoid the blackberries getting to GZ.
It might pay to do a "Update Coordinates" log on your cache using his co-ords which are about right. That way the geocaching.com system will move your cache to the correct location. Also the logsheet is getting rather wet with the cache down so low.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Nightmare4000.

A quick and easy cache. Damn I hate these bushes. Very nasty and they take over all along the creeks. Number 3 of 4 for the day. The paper was very wet. TNLN. Cheers.
Our boys loved this one! No creek in summer they had fun playing in the tunnel. And eating berries.
S35 01.201 E138 47.438 As a previous cacher stated - these co-ordinates worked better for us and we found the cache (that was after we stomped around a bit!) TFTC
Ahh finally. Love the way that every time I hopped over the barbed wire fence I hooked my pants on the blackberries. Three visits. Three lots of blackberry tears in the pants. I was a champion barbed hurdler until my tragic accident. Interesting location.
Woohoo, *FTF* for Featherwaite. Found within seconds, after the very precise (descriptive) directions were posted. Took a reading at GZ, for me S35 01.201 E138 47.438. Thanks for the cache Nightmare4000!
came by this cache with elgdalen....... i told them we had a load of DNF's but he was keen to have a look anyway...... didn't find it after a good look so will leave it until CO has checked it out. shame a bigger container couldn't be put here - loads of scope for one..... Thanks for the hunt anyway, we will be back.
Time for CO to check coords accuracy?
GZ takes us to water level between the water and blackberries.
Seeing as the high water mark is way above our heads, going by the flood debris, then if it is there it probably won't survive the winter either.
if in fact it is at the listed co-ords then it is hidden way better than a 2 D?
Just sayin....

Busted a Hurtle and a Laura in the bushes. They said they were looking for a cache. Yeah right. The cache wasn't under the bridge or in the bushes. Perhaps it is in the river.
Well a massive search and we only came away with heaps of scratches. Not sure why this destination needs a mint tin but we decided it just wasn't worth the frustration.
Searched high and low, I even ventured into the ivy thinking 'blue berries ' ? I ate some of the ' black berries ' and they were delicious - a frog even turned up at the pond while we searching - for a cache, so cheeky! We shall return Thanks
No luck today.
Looked under bridge, under trees, no bushes to see.
Good luck for the next...

Spent at least an hour looking under the bridge, off the bridge and the creek. No luck today. A bit of a nightmare.
Ismartis went and checked this one out, but the GPS was indicating the cache might be in the blackberry thicket and access down to the blackberries didn't look all that easy so she decided not to proceed with this one and leave it to the more adventurous folk out there.
Parking can be done via the dirt road (Taringa grove)
There is a cement wall which you can climb up and down. If you look from there there is a way of getting down without getting prickled.
