Full View of Boats Launching O'Sullivan Beach, South Australia, Australia
By Lava12 on 14-Jul-20. Waypoint GC8WKBV

Found it, but the cache is empty. Need a fix.

Sorry, I can’t repair or replace it because I have moved. It is time to go. Thanks for finding my cache in the past. Lava

Quick find while in the area. Came over this way to watch niece play soccer.

Thanks

It's been a while since I've been out caching but as I was in the area thought I would check it out. Glad it was an easy one and glad to see so many solar panels close by. TFTC

thanks

My first cache ever! At first I thought this hobby was stupid but when I found it I totally understand! Cheers!

Awesome spot, great view!!! Tftc

Found during a caching trip in the southern suburbs after attending the 'South West Breakfast 100' event. Great view of the coastline from up here! This was the last of nine Lava12 caches, out of 20 in total for the day. Thanks for the cache Lava12!

.

No boats today but a magnificent ocean view. Thanks for bringing us here.

Breezy

Quick find great for kids

Found with mogni. quick find. Only saw boating coming in today, not launching.

Found while out and about with sir_spectre. He is attempting to get at least 10 finds on every calendar day.
Thanks

Out about down south for a Wednesday wander.
The group consisted of SA Sewer Rats, bluewrentit and Astro.
After searching the wrong shrubs we finally found the prize.
it was a lovely day to be caching.
We had a lot of laughs. TFTC

Indeed a great view. Not too many boats launching today!

A whip around on a sunny day with bluewrentit and SA Sewer Rats saw us ticking off some of the caches in the lovely southern suburbs . The clever hides had us searching but there was no match for 6 eyes!

Thanks to Lava12 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

Nice work. Enjoyed looking for this in the wild winter weather

Found it

Out for a few more caches and adventure labs today around the southern suburbs.

Easy find here today.

Put my signature in the log book and returned the cache to its hiding spot.

Thanks Lava12 for this cache.

Out and about cleaning up the map on our way to elsewhere and the dog needed a walk to use some energy up so we walked along the track and came back to the car via this cache. there has been some new house builds since we have been up this way too.
How to Launch a Boat
Follow our guide, and you will have your boat on and off the trailer with a minimum of stress.

1. Organise your Gear
Don’t be the inconsiderate boatie that is sorting out the fishing gear and fuel when you are on the boat ramp holding up other boat users. Before you get near the boat ramp, make sure you have everything in order. In the carpark, transfer items from the car to your boat and vice versa. Check the fuel, safety equipment, and mooring lines. Switch on the battery and pump the fuel bulb. Make sure there is room to get into the boat safely.

It’s the ‘unspoken rule’ around the world that you don’t hold up the boat ramp doing tasks that can be done away from the ramp. If you break the rule, it won’t be long before another skipper reads you the riot act. Everyone wants to get out on the water as quickly as possible.

2. Cabling
Ensure the trailer is still correctly secured to the car. Unplug the tail-lights otherwise they could short-circuit when they hit the water. When you have everything in order, move towards the boat ramp or queue. Make sure the trailer winch hook is attached to the bow eye. Undo the tie-down straps. Check the bungs are in and secure. Get the dock lines ready, and if you have fenders put them in place too. If your boat has an outboard motor, trim it up to avoid it dragging.

3. Check the Boat Ramp
If you are using your local boat ramp and the carpark is full of empty trailers, you can safely assume that there are no problems with the ramp. But if you are on holiday at an unfamiliar ramp that doesn’t look like anyone has used it today, it’s best to check it out before you back the trailer down. If you are a novice, it can be helpful to watch other boats being launched to get an idea of the depth and water flow on the ramp.

4. Safety
Make sure your deckhand or passenger is standing in a position where you can both see each other. They need to be able to see the back of the boat to warn you if you are going to collide with another boat, car or the dock.

If there are more than two of you, make sure your passengers know where you want them to sit or stand while you are launching the boat. This is particularly important if you have children in your group. Make another adult responsible for looking after them well away from the boat ramp. Kids are hard to see and unpredictable in all the excitement of launching the boat. It’s not just your boat and trailer that presents a risk to them. Other ramp users won’t be looking out for kids or pets.

5. Reverse the Boat In
Find the right low gear on your car and start reversing down the ramp. Some skippers prefer to use neutral so they can quickly put it in gear and drive forward if something goes wrong while reversing. Use all your car’s mirrors and apply the brakes gently. Use small steering adjustments as you back the trailer down.

6. Know when to Stop Reversing
If you reverse too far down the boat ramp, you are at risk of getting bogged or losing your vehicle into the drink. Every vehicle and boat combination is different so how far you back in depends on the type of trailer, your boat and vehicle.

7. Final Launch
Put on the vehicle’s handbrake and check it’s holding before putting it into park. Walk down to the boat to give it a final push off the trailer. Ask your deckhand to throw you the dock line so you can secure the boat to the jetty. Get back in your vehicle and get ready to drive off the ramp to the carpark. Just because you don’t have the weight of the boat behind you doesn’t mean you won’t have any problems. Boat ramps are slippery with algae, so your wheels may spin.
Thanks for the cache Lava, nicely attached.

Thanks, nicely done.

what a beautiful view.
thanks for being us to this spot

First day of our 2022 mission to fill our Date Found grid. This one had us going around in circles until Ol spotted it. TFTC

Christmas Day! Public holiday is always a great opportunity to go out and find some caches.
Today, I and J plus the little one visited O'Sullivan Beach, Christies Beach and surroundings. Tried 6 caches, DNF the first one, and found the rest 5. Good match of traditional cache, puzzle cache, and letterbox hybrid cache.
This is the third find for today. Quick stop to make a quick find.
Signed the log, and placed the cache back.
Took a photo near GZ, for the view.
Thanks for the cache and the view, Lava12.

2020 won. it's not over yet!
- - search at a social distance wherever you can - -

Keep away from the nasty bugs ( except travel bugs of course )
- keep a distance from people as much as you can, they spread the nasty bugs! [:o)]
- go out and place some new caches in our regional areas where it's safer away from bugs!!

Nuce quick find TFTC

Easy

Thanks nice little find! Tftc

Beautifully located ️ TFTC - with TrentStone23 & csstonesc

A nice but windy view - TFTC

DNF the other night here and saw it had been replaced, parked up and wandered over, wasn’t where I was expecting it to be at all but managed to find the nice and new cache

Today I headed to the range for a bike race around the area, on the way home I stopped to do a few caches but due to the high temp I called it a day early. Total of 19 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

It is missing

Coordinates changed from:
S 35° 7.343 E 138° 28.260

Coordinates changed to:
S 35° 7.335 E 138° 28.269

Distance from original: 66.1 feet or 20.1 meters.

Location has been changed to avoid being muggled again.

I have replaced this cache. The coordinates have been altered slightly. Happy Hunting.

This evening, gridge98 and I planned to visit *Onkaparinga River National Park*, and explore another section on the southern side. We then headed to *Aldinga Scrub Conservation Park* just as the lightning show started, with various extreme warnings feeding through our phone's notifications. We managed to complete that walk just as the heavy rain started to feel, and then proceeded back north towards home, stopping for dinner and a few miscellaneous geocaches.

We had a pretty decent search here, and we were surprised that with such limited hiding places, that we couldn't find it. We then made a PAF to a recent finder to confirm where it should have been, but alas, nothing around that area. We suspect the geocache is likely missing, so we will watch and see. Thanks anyway Lava12 for the cache placement.

Seems to be gone unfortunately after calling a previous finder

Found a likely spot, but no cache . Expanded my search area, but still no luck [B)].
Maybe I've lost my mojo [?].
At least it as a great spot to have morning lunch !
Thanks anyway Lava12. We'll be back .

I have replaced a new logbook with a pencil.

Found It!
A quick find here and some nice views! Perfect weather here today to!

Found this cache on the way home from a surf session at Horseshoe Reef. Awesome views

Easy find....log book is damp

Quick find on a gloomy day while having a midday stress-relieving break at the beach to the north. Complete with a whoooole colony of earwigs, my arch gardening nemesis.

Photo is a spoiler.

Staying at muggle partner's for a few days as his mother had a fall a while ago, fractured her hip and he wanted some company until she comes home soon
After shopping to get fresh food to make tea[^], I brought Rex to hs favourite beach[^]
We spent almost 2 hours wandering O'Sullivans Beach as he played chasey and had fun with other dogs[^] and swimming after his ball[^]
On our way home I decided to find this newer cache[^] as my other previous closest unfound cache seems to have disappeared with the work happening on the walkways
Easy find and a gorgeous sunset
Rex just had to show off too and put himself up high for a better view (attached pic)

It's not everyday that you get a bonus spider on a cache when you retrieve it. Hope he enjoyed his time in space when i flicked him off my hand.

Tftc

Thought I would go for a bit of a drive to find some of the local caches that had been published while I was away. [^]
Had to wait while a muggle admired the view then it was a quick find. Spent some time looking at the sea while the sun got lower and I got colder.
Thanks for the cache Lava12.

Flat calm today. So good. A quick cache find and I was on my way home.

Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

Easter 2020 was supposed to see South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find including two classic geo art trails including the famous animated bottle and glass.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Very easy find with a muffle mate! Great views!

Came at this one from the wrong elevation initially... Damn Google Navigation.
Went around and was afforded a nice view this arvo.
Quickly found and signed.
That's LavaNirvana again...

Thanks

After getting my altitude right, got to GZ to find a real local sitting almost on top of the cache admiring the pleasant view. Had a nice chat and found out that he knew about the container as had noticed it and seen someone else finding it. Gave him the full story but suspect he will remain a muggle.
Thanks Lava12 for putting it there

Great views. TFTC Lava12

Quick find thankyou

Published

I was supposed to be finishing a uni assignment when the alert for this cake through! I couldn’t resist the chance for a FTF only a few km from home! A quick drive and short walk had the cache in hand with a blank log! *FTF* @ 10:34am. TFTC Lava12

Heard the norification but couldn't rush. As a reult erine beat me by 15 minutes. Great views. Thanks again Lava12!
