Finger Point Beach Port MacDonnell, South Australia, Australia
By Blamik on 21-Sep-20. Waypoint GC908QQ

Staying at Mt Gambier, we did a trip to Port MacDonnell today Muggle Husband took a wrong turn and ended up at this beach, which was great, as I immediately announced the presence of a cache close by. The cache container fits in with the location. Just brilliant.

Nicely themed cache... Quickly found.TNLNSLThanks

Great cache container

Apologies for the late log, we have just come back from a 10 day holiday to South Australia, spending every minute we could with family Today (Wed 25/9) we checked out of the accomodation in here in Port MacDonnell just after 8.30am so we could find a few more caches here before heading to Meningie for the night. This was next on the agenda and once we got closer to GZ, GMelb made his way to GZ as I was wearing different shoes to yeserday as the others werent quite dry yet so I kept losing my footing. They dried a bit more as the day went on so I changed into them later. GMelb made the find of the appropriate cache at this pretty spot. TFTC Blamik - GJMMelb

We are travelling with richlink as part of our Annual Caravan Geocaching trip using geocaching as our guide. We love touring these back roads. Thanks for the cache. LNCU.

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on. SA caching foray. Staying in Mount Gambier for a week to grab some of the local hides. Its been sixteen years since since we were last here so enjoying the re-visit. Thanks for the hideLNCU

Havent had a find for a while, so whilst I was touring through the area, I thought why not? Great view - TFTC!

Found at 12:46 PM GAFF1.We were wondering how the heck are we to get down there - is this really just a T of 2.0? Found a faint track which led me to a clearing and there it was! Right out in the open just lying there as a dismembered part!Replaced it in a nice secure spot with lots of rocks Thanks to Blamik

Think there someone in need of a hand

Stopped off at Port MacDonnell on our way to Robe for Melbourne Cup weekend. Pretty cool place 10/10 for the cache container tftc

nice easy one on our adventures

Bit gruesome and snakes if warmer

Cache maintenance, new log.

Staying down this way for a couple of nights and today, after finding a few selected multis in Mount Gambier, headed down to Port MacDonnell, hoping to clear the area of unfound physical caches. Had a rewarding day, dodging the showers, sometimes, and only missed one traditional that, without swimming, was never going to be found in the all too few hours spent in this lovely little seaside village, hope it stays that way.
Quick find once at GZ but container was badly damaged and log was suffering as a result. Also noticed that there is already a Needs Maintenance log. Sooner the better.
Thanks Blamik for putting out this cache for all to find.
Cache #13392 for me.

This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).

What a beauty! TFTC a definite favourite

Classic cache container. Nice work.

Great find thanks
Found with emilys23

TFTC. We are camped at Penola for the week. Each day we head out to explore and cache. Today we headed out to Port MacDonnell. The main aim was to find the 2001 Lady Nelson Views. Once that was achieved we made our way back along the coast toward the town, caching as we went.
A great day with the rain holding off.

Thanks to Blamik for this hide.
The container needs a bit of TLC.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Haha! We had a good chuckle when we arrived at GZ. We were not expecting that! But, very nicely done, and we have now signed the log and add a favourite point for this one.
Thanks Blamik

On a camping road trip to the Grampians, Mt Gambier and surrounding areas. We are now camping at Fort O'Hare Camping Ground in Dartmoor. Today we headed interstate to explore the Port Macdonnell area and pick up a couple of caches, this was the second cache for the afternoon. After checking out the views we took the short walk through the sand dunes to find the cache which we did. A very appropriate cache for the area and a favourite from us. TFTC and bringing us to this area.

TFTC. Love the views.

Soon after arriving at GZ the cache was in hand

TFTC

Very cool nice views

A rather quick find considering the terrain we are in. Fortunately the one buque cache container was in a clear area with an easy access route.

Lovely themed find here.
Mrs Riddell got here almost spiraling around avoiding the dense vegetation, and was onto it in no time.
Unsure if this is a revegetation area or not.
TFTC

This one made us laugh. What a beautiful spot. TFTC. Found by Cache in the Hat

Followed the path, lovely view

Today I'm just enjoying sea air and the views

TFTC
Cache still in good condition

No responsibile way into this one - should be archived.

This is behind a fenced revegetation area - access requires an irresponsibile amount of bush bashing, not in line with geocaching tenets. Should be archived.

A group of Victorian teams and one from NSW have been working on solving the On Your Bike series and surrounding puzzles for some time. We had a couple of tries at coming over to actually find them but we were thwarted by rona and the borders. Now we are here for 4 days, the weather is beautiful, the people are committed and the caches were all there.

Found on our way home after spending the night in Mt Scott conseration park and then heading to Port Mac for the night.

After setting up camp Mr Morris wasn't going to move so Lady Morris headed out to try and find a few. Thanks for contributing to the fun.

It was a lovely fine morning and the Carpark was full of local surfers preparing to tackle the waves.
I tackled your cache instead and liked the way you linked the name up.
Cheers

Found with FUF009.
2 years on and we finally made it back to Millicent. It's been top of the destination list since we were here last time. Pity we missed the Mega.

Today we drove around the coast and just did the caches we came across, that we could access.
A nice day in a nice part of the country.

This CO has a sense of humour similar to my own. A favourite.

Find # 10419

Found with sharkiefan.

Back in SA, caching around the area with out base being Millicent.
It was 2 years ago on the March long weekend we were last over here. (That was pre covid/lockdown days.)
We had a great time, back then, and when we got home it was only 20days later Vic went into full covid lockdown mode.

The world has changed somewhat since then, but caching still gets us out n about.

And it is kind of fitting that we are back here for a planned interstate caching trip to get us both back into an area we enjoy (not ta mention I always enjoy the SA caches n trails)

This trip we are both armed with some new gear for the new trails. And i had a few caches targeted to help achieve some challenges and stats.

Once again it was a great little break from the norm of life back home.

Took the hard way in, made the find then followed the easy track out..... gotta love it.
The water around here is super clear today.

Found with Team Waldron during a trip to the south-east for a few days. On Day 1 we travelled via Meningie, the Coorong and Kingston SE to Millicent and Tantanoola. On Day 2, we toured around Glencoe and completed the STCL series, Colour by Song series, and the AooA series (and found any other caches along the way). On Day 3 we cached around Tarpeena then to Mt Gambier to do the Adventure Lab caches and down to Port MacDonnell. On the final day we completed the Honan Mint Trail and found the southern half of the Awaken and Live series before time got the better of us and we headed for home. Thanks for the cache Blamik!

A trip to the South East with Featherwaite for a few days.

We had a great time and found a "few" caches along the way.

Any issues with a specific case will be in Featherwaite's log.

Bit of exercise, good hide

Wow, this was the place to be today - including a '42 Custom Merc .
Went for a walk away from the cool crowd and just happened to find your cache .
TNLNSL.
Thanks again Blamik.

A big hand to the CO

Really enjoyed the cache container

Funny thing I had nearly busted my finger today. Was this a sign?

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

All the fingers point the way. A fun cache today. TFTC

What an awesome cache , haha

Great cache especially coming up to Halloween. Quick find in the dunes with BraydsSA. TFTC SL

Caching with Sparrow. Quick find. SL. TFTC.

Thank you loved it.

I came across the border to find a few caches to complete the science of discovery challenge.
A happily quick find with a helping hand.
The container no longer seals and the logbook was damp.
Thanks Blamik

Off to an event in Port McDonald today, quick stop for this one. TFTC

We were in Portland visiting dad (SuperPop) and with the weather looking marginally better on the weather map this side of the border we thought that we would come over here and try our luck at a few caches.

We have to agree with the cache page about the views here and the weather today made it far more scenic. You most certainly wouldn't have wanted to be out in a boat or in the water.
We rugged up again and followed the GPSr to gz where the cache was spotted as we approached and we both smiled at what we saw. This was another very well themed cache of which the log book now contains our name and the cache page another favourite point.

Many thanks once more Blamik for the cache.

Found it actually on the 18-04-2021 but has been very hectic at home and well once you get to my age you get very forgetful as well . I spent the day out with my bestie FlirtinWithDanger and MM7 . Love this cache hats off to the CO

Sick cache

Found on 18/4/2021. SL at 12:50pm. Day trip out with DarthVader69 and MuggleMasterKid7. Always a picturesque drive out this way. MMK7 actually found it first which was very handy for us! They were super excited. *Favourite point awarded. TFTC!

Enjoyed the walk down from the car park to find this one. Didn’t get the relevance of the hide until I looked at the map again, fun find. TFTC

Awesome geocache!

Staying at the mount and a good day for a drive to port macdonnell. Excellent, thanks for bringing us here, fave

###CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR CACHE HAS BEEN INCLUDED ON THE FINAL VOTING FORM FOR THE 2020 SA GEOCACHING AWARDS.###

Haha

Cheeky buggers lol

nice theming. quick find after a short stroll.
found with mogni. The target this australia day long weekend was 3 island caches, ladder entry in to a cave, a few tree/structure climbs, finishing mine and mogni's tradition fizzy grids, driving for 10's of km's along the coast line at various spots ( longest stretch was over 30 km's ) and a multi on a calendar day for me plus a puzzle and multi on calendar days for mogni.

A long weekend away with sir_spectre. Lots of 4WDing and for me getting those caches that I had been hoping to get to one day. This turned out to be an unfortunate choice of container, considering recent events.
Thanks to Blamik from mogni

This weekend, I headed to the Limestone Coast / south-east for cave diving, but also to find a few geocaches when time allowed. It was only a quick weekend travelling to Mt Gambier via Bordertown on Friday, and returning Sunday via Millicent and Kingston. I was able to fit in a visit south to Port MacDonnell on Saturday, and a few other small detours around Mt Gambier.

Today, after cave diving just south of Mount Gambier, I elected to use the remainder of my afternoon with visiting Port MacDonnell to complete the *Port Mac* Adventure Lab. I made my way back to Mount Gambier via Wye to then attend the dinner event. A few miscellaneous Mount Gambier geocaches were also visited, in addition to completing the *Mount Gambier War Memorials & Artillery* Adventure Lab.

I had visited a cluster of these geocaches towards the end of Port MacDonnell only a few months ago, but obviously this was a new one that had been published since my visit. As I was already nearby completing the Adventure Lab, it was only an additional short detour to visit this beach. I made my walk out through the dunes to find the very creative and nicely constructed cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. A Favourite Point for its theme to this spot. Thanks Blamik for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Absolutely love this cache just brilliant

Out with Trailstevo at the weekend checking out the area and collecting a few great cache with some amazing views. Thanks for the little adventure.

Last day of our Mt Gambier visit. Gunks and I headed south to Port McDonnell visiting the sinkholes and volcanoes as we went. Found this one easily enough Thanks for placing.

Heading along the coastline on this rather wet and windy day with SnappyTomCats and scramping where we joined forces with Mattycat, Sebastbat, Jem, Freddo and Trigger_Fish...
I did not need very many caches today but enjoyed the Adventure and the company...
A nice bit of exercise to get to this cache...nice views too...
Thanks Blamik

Loved the container TFTC

Now we are on a mission. Nine caching teams riding in convoy. Nothing will stop us now. Starting to rain.

Cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. 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.

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.

Found with hevwalker and SnappyTomCats whilst we enjoyed a caching day with geofriends, we had planned to go along the beach to get some cool caches but high tides and waves prevented us today so will return another day for those. Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful view....althou we nearly blew away with the wind...... it was still a great day. TFTC

In Millicent for the long weekend and to attend the Geoventure 2020 Celebration Event..oh and to cache of course! Today was also a number building exercise to get us to our next milestone of 5000. We were out with hevwalker, scramping. Mattycat, Sebastbat and **JEM**. TriggerFish and Freddo had joined us as well. It was a wild and wooly day today..rain. wind, birds flying backwards, Cows blowing over...it was carnage. With this many looking for the cache, it made for a quick find! TFTC[8)][8)]

Down in Millicent for the "Used 2B a Geoventure" celebration weekend.
( Hopefully we'll be back for the big one when it's able to go ahead )

Teamed up with Sebastbat, and JEM for a long long weekend caching.
Joined SnappyTomCats, Scramping, and Hevwalker for a while today, then added Freddo and Trigger_Fish, so interesting tracks, sand, mud, bushes, coastal ruggedness... all in the pouring rain and wind. Great company and a lot of fun

A nice little themed hide. Not a mint tin so deserves a fav point
Fingers might have pointed at a bad time of the month


Thanks for placing and maintaining a cache on this corner of our caching map Blamik

Stay safe out there, caches and their hidey holes can be dirty and wet!
wash your hands, wipe down your cache gear,
sanitise, exercise, even wear a mask if hayfever season gets to you and
cache the countryside safely distanced at least a roo or an adult brown snake's length apart ! ! !
Have fun out there ! ! !

Arrived here and didn’t realise it was only published yesterday, good to get silver on this one

Today I didn’t have to much of a plan around the south east but just did a few here and there around port mac and the forest, before heading to the celebration event at Millicent.
39 finds for the day

Thanks for the cache

FTF @ 5.25 with CPwanderer & Gizmo’s Gang.
We didn’t realise at the time that this cache was still unfound.
A downward walk and jog through the foliage (through another path)
Had me rather close to gz, I lost CP, but I found the halloween looking cache.
Wohoo, FTF, second for the day, making up for our first dnf (for that day) on a possible ftf.
Thanks for bringing us here

Joint [FTF] with CPwanderer and clare007 at 17:25.
We were surprised to find a blank log. The cache was nicely themed to the name.
