StreetWalkerNZ and I are leaving the Yorke Peninsula today, destination: Nuriootpa. The weather forecast isn't the best so we left Point Turton by 7:30am in the hope we'd outrun the rain, but it caught up with us while we were doing the Anna Tommy series.Obviously someone with my navigation skills was leading the pod, this is why I mostly do the driving and SW navigates. I found the memorial stones quite moving. TFTC.

#24684. We came here to complete the ad-lab stage, and found this trad as a bonus (furiously swatting away flies in the process). I don't think I've heard of any sperm whale strandings before; I think of them as a species that likes deep water. Interesting memorial. TFTC.

One thing you'll discover in nature is that "sh*t happens". Eat or be eaten, beach or get beached. I just shook my head at the memorial here for some whales who didn't evolve quick enough to grow legs and walk the land. Cache was found quick and in the first spot naughtybunny and I looked. TNLN. Cheers.

09:36 FITW HinemoanaPoor whales...I like that they got their own special memorial.Cache was a bit too easy of a find - readily visible, and had some muggle entries. I tried to rehide so it can't be seen that well, but there wasn't really anything good for cover.Kia ora! Paldies! Thanks for the cache, Freddo the Chocolate Frog!#10669

Great spot here worth a visit.TFTC Freddo

there is now a lab stage at gz or if you need to be literal, it's 6 meters to the right. quick find and dropped a tb i got in vic.
Recieved a message from Allister W. He was going to go down and meet the co to do " El Castillo del Rey del Mar ", he asked if myself and Mogni wanted to meet him down there on Sunday. Since the 4x4 was still mostly packed from the last trip over to Victoria the answer was yes. We left after work Saturday and drove slowly down targetting large caches, solved puzzles and solving multi's on route and the odd traditional was found. We only got to Pine Point ( damn that place is windy ) before putting up the tent. Sunday the wind mostly had blew itself out and it was caching our way to El Castillo del Rey del Mar and there we meet a group and we all watched Allister W get wet and grab the cache on the 4th dive underwater. Then it was time to return slowly home and via as many caches as possible.
