Like other cachers before me, I too, made no find today, but I did find a very cool piece of outdoor furniture and I just had to sit on it and get my pic taken No find today, but thanks for bringing me here to discover this spot bobdx
Sad to say only sighted a smiley badge whilst cache with The X-Trailers and 3LG.
Found the location but not the booty. Someone has wandered off with it
Worth the stop though to see the art

Nice artwork hereabouts. We sat upon to complete our logging duties. Thanks for bringing us to this hidden gem of PA mobdx.
Cemented an easy find on the way to the shops. Thanks for pointing out a local spot of interest that I have driven by and not noticed.
Picked this up with ferret52 while over for the JLWE cahcheing event in wirrabara. TFTC!
While Mrs Varmint was shopping in town, Crusty K9 and I went out to play. This is one of the caches we found. tftc.
Hi there mobdx.
We found your cache **"HEADS UP - Lounging Around"** at 10:32:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 13935.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the local area today. We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route mainly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. Today's plan was to dash into Port Augusta to test drive a vehicle, and then log a few caches before heading back to camp.
We ended up finding 10 & DNFing 2 caches today.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around two metres from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
A day of caching with our friends Team Robins, who are walking their way around Australia for cancer... if you want to find out how to protect yourself from breast or prostate cancer, talk to these 2.
This cache was found quickly.
Thanks for the fun mobdx!

Found after work. Great work of Art , but Gees it is HOT here. Picked the wrong week to work north of Adelaide, mind you I hear it is not much cooler back there either.
I found this cache traveling 5450km from Adelaide to Darwin. I had no internet throughout the trip, this is why I log late
Thanks!
Thanks!
I found this cache on a return visit to Whyalla.
I lived here for a year, in 2011/12, before moving to Berri, in the Riverland region of SA.
It was great to revisit the Whyalla area and to explore some of the tracks and trails. TFTC

I was, very generously, offered a trip to Whyalla with Moneydork that was too good to refuse!
Tonight's stop was in Whyalla and between Port Augusta, Iron Knob and Whyalla I found 60 caches but ended the day with the only DNF
Gorgeous lounge here
A quick find of the cache and then on our way again as we had no time for lounging around

4622 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1115. There are some clever artists in this country. As we pulled up to go for a sit some workers were unloading their goods from a truck. We waited and admired the other artwork before SL Tnx mobdx
Found it whilst visiting Port Augusta - agree with the nice artwork - Colin & Julie Cornelius
All very quiet here, early Sunday a.m. The cache co ords were spot on making this one a quick find, thanks.
Quick trip from Pirie to do some shopping at BigW. Had to wait for mugglers to move on then snapped up the cache. Thanks for the hide mobdx.
From street side I could see a very inviting place to lounge around
So off I trotted for some quality couch time [^]
The cache was soon found in the spot where the 'TV remote' always ends up

Found by Mary & David at 1020. Left Pt Augusta this morning and cached our way south to Nuriootpa for the night. Mary wanted to visit the Wadlata Outback Centre, so David went to find this cache. He had hardly begun searching before the CO came out to offer advice. Had quite a chat about the work that takes place here. Oh, and found the cache too. Our thanks to mobdx.
On the way home from the Mega and another day driving west doing caches along the way.
Not a good morning after two punctures had to be fixed before I could continue my journey and now a cache not found.

Had a fellow cacher with me who identified it was missing.
Great art work to look at though.

Quick find while in town for the night,
Wouldn't wanna lye around on this baby and watch a movie or two

1:08:00 PM. Continuing our road trip to SA and on to WA. No rush just grabbing caches along the way. Makes for slow going sometimes. Had a laugh when we got here. Some interesting art. A quick find and signed log. Our last cache for the day. Getting too hot. Thanks mobdx for placing this cache.
Another quick find on a day in Port Augusta. Used some natural cover while finding and signing the log. A member of our family had a hand in building the lounge. TFTC
Working in the area this week. Saw this one had a TB, so thought we would check it out. A quick find. Took a set to sign the log on some very impressive artwork :c) TFTC!!
Found during a trip to Port Augusta in the breaks between games while spectating at a volleyball carnival over the weekend. Thanks for the cache mobdx!
A quick find and then sat on the nearby artwork to log. This looked so comfortable and like a real sofa but in reality it was quite hard and covered in ants.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Working up north for a few day,
Nice to be out of the office.
I get to play around Pt Augusta
A nice bench at GZ

Found with the Frog on our Cleavage Run for the June Long Weekend. There was sun, rain, wind and some mud. The moon lit our way at night. Awesome fun.
Thanks to mobdx and clear skies from TeamAstro.

*FTF* Wow it has been forever since we last managed a first to find and couldn't believe our luck. We thought we had pretty much done all of the Port Augusta caches when we came through back in. March and when this one showed up on our GPS passed it by yesterday as one that might be missing only to find later that it was a new cache.
We headed over before hitching up our caravan to resume our trip home and found the cache lying exposed on the middle of the pathway. We lounged around writing in the logbook before hiding in an obvious spot.
Thanks movdx. You might want to check we placed it correctly.
