We couldn't find this one! Either it's a very well-hidden rock cache, or it has been swept into a pile of dirt by the local council's road grader... we hope it's still there.

Found. Looks like a little moisture has been getting into it. Also the zip lock bag is getting a little damaged I didn't want to damage it anymore so didn't sign it.

Travelling through some dirt back roads to pick up a few caches. A little chilly but the sun is shining so perfect geocaching weather. Found without problems.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Been targeting caches that meet the criteria for the current wonders souvenir. This was one I needed to continue filling the grid. This morning with not a lot ro do I filled the geomobile with fuel and headed off.
This was the first one and once near GZ hopped put of the vehicle and with the engine running wandered over to the hide and uncovered the cache in the first place I looked. Took it back to the car to extract the log, stamp it and reassemble. Back to the hide and replace it as found.
Now onto the next one.

Driving home after watching some of the family race their mountain bikes at Kerbrook, we decided to stop and find a couple of caches. This was the last of the 3 that we drove past and found. More interesting animal facts were dicovered. Thanks for placing this cache.
 
12-Jul-20
As the weather was nice today, the youngest of the Famous IV and I decided to grab some caches in the hills...and a few along the way. All up 15 caches were found and we had time for chips and stout at the Inglewood Inn and pizza at Glen Ewin Estate as well. The only disappointment for the trip was they weren't serving scones and tea at Newmann's Nursery. The country was looking good, the caches were in good condition and the sun shone upon us. TFTC

A fun day out exploring the area with @Davidwazza ! TFTC!
 
24-May-20
Today with a forecasted dry day, and wanting to take out mountain bikes to try out a new area, jesswrigley and I planned to ride the Kerrsbrook trails. I had heard good things about this area, and had a few friends to group ride in the morning. Surprising that there aren't any geocaches to find there yet, and the area certainly had quite technical downhill tracks. On our way home, we managed to find a few road geocaches, stopping off at Inglewood for a bakery lunch, and then brief stops in Houghton, and the Gun Emplacement in Anstey Hill Recreation Park. A little misty and nippy today, but otherwise not a bad day.

No problems with this cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks 3LG/LiB for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

I loved the quokka's on Rottnest Island when we lived in WA - many, many years ago - but today it was all about laying hands on the prize for Geoson. Great camo in place. Did a couple of swaps. SL. TFTC. 5 down, 5 to go!

Parked near GZ and had a search around but couldn’t holding anything. A read of hint pointed to something and the cache was found, although it is not a fake rock.

A last minute plan this morning to go for a drive and do some caching, it was a matter of just go to the next closest cache and see where I ended up, restricted by time. I started up near gameracha and cached around there and forreston area.
Good to be able to find some caches that haven not been found for a year or so. A total of 25 finds and 1 DNF.

Thanks for the cache.

After a big walk yesterday and the Boardwalk caches this morning it was time to get a few drive by's with minimal walking as I made my way back to the city for another event before heading home. [^]
I just love driving on these out of the way dirt roads admiring some pretty speccy views and finding caches along the way. Cool
Thanks for the cache 3LG. Smile

Cute little quokkas...TFTC 3LG

Unfortunately no Quokkas were sighted today but many raindrops were... accompanied by strong winds [:o]. The log within the cache was reasonably dry so i added moisture munchers to ensure it stays dry [^]

Hint on this one needs to be updated, it is only partially true.

A nice easy find though, the cachers trail led us straight to it, and we saw something that looked unusual from a ways off.

Some spiders have made their way into the container through a small break, but it probably doesn't need too much maintenance for now.

Nice quiet view over the fields from here.

Thanks for the cache!

A day out caching with Moneydork - -the weather was oh so fine so we decided hiking in the forest would be brilliant. And it was. I now must use the template log, I have my reasons for doing so -- ask me about it at an event sometime.
 
19-Nov-16
Saw a koala on the road
 
03-Nov-16
After collecting a few things in Gawler, we decided to take the rest of the day off and meander through some great scenery, collect a few smilies and then ............... shopping for our collections got in the way.

Thanks for the cache and adding a smile to our enjoyable day
 
25-Sep-16
We had decided to spend a few hours caching today as the rain had stopped and we felt the need for some outside time . We found quite a large spider guarding this cache which ran off as we retrieved the container to log the find. Quokkas are cute - shame we don't have them in the wild in SA. TFTC Smile
 
31-Jul-16
I think the hint on this one could be updated. I went in looking for a rock, but found something different. An easy enough find though, probably no need for a hint.

Thanks 3LG.

Chatted to the local land owner who was workin on rebuilding his fences.Some LOWLIFES had stolen all his steel star pickets he'd just bought to replace his fence with. He's a bit suspicious of anyone stopping along this road, but all is good as he knows about the caches long here..TFTc 3LG
