Nice quick find for me today. Thank you.

Found it

Really interesting hide , tftc with jeffner5556 Sarge5556

Had to hunt a bit as the GPS wasn't great. But found eventually with Sarge5556 tftc

A bit of mucking around to find the right place to park, but soon had the the cache once we were on the right track. Container size quite misleading as its about 500 mil not 10 L TFTC.

Found on our maiden campervan trip. Nice spot might stay the night TFTCCheers and Happy Hunting Southern Cross Caching

Good find! TFTC!

Tftc

TFTC . Found on our tour of the Eyre, during our visit to the sea lion colony

Found it!! Thanks from Team CanOz Xx

All good. TNLNSL TFTC

I frickin found it we gave it a pokimon and got one cence back

Found it

TFTC

Awesome spot. Tftc

TFTC! This was a great cache to do on the way back from a great surf at the beach. The container was a lot smaller than we expected so we think it wasnt the original one, but it was pretty easy to find besides that. We got attacked by ants so it took a bit longer than it should have but all together it was an amazing geocache!

So nice to find a cache here. TFTC

Nice one! TFTC

Methinks this is not the original container. Camped nearby and delighted to discover there was a cache close by.

#5345 We were returning from just seeing Alex, his family, extended family including second cousins at nearby Point Labatt. We just had to grab this olde cache hide on the way out. Thanks Quasar for placing.

Windy today but worth it tftc

No joy for us today. We searched for quite some time. Hopefully it is a case of cache blindness and muggles haven't found it

What a magnificent part of the world. Great to see old caches still in play.

Day 5: Today is a bit of a rest day. Sleep in, explore Streaky Bay and surrounds, collect some info from the visitors centre and plan the rest of our time in SA.

After horrible weather yesterday, the next few days are looking up and we are looking forward to exploring.


Well it’s holiday time again and this year we have planned a road trip East across the Nullarbor to South Australia.

We will be staying in Streaky Bay, Whyalla, Hahndorf and Mt Gambier before turning for home and making the trip west.

We are looking forward to eating and drinking, exploring and visiting a swag of wonderful places. Of course it wouldn’t be a holiday at all for a Geocacher without plans including a plethora of stops, deviations and distractions for all types of Geocaches.

Our thanks go to all the hiders who make this game what it is.

Tftc loved walking through the area checking out the plants and flowers

Vic school holidays so kids and I are road tripping to explore the Eyre Peninsula. What incredible views - felt like the highlands (minus a few trees)! Thanks for the fun and adventure!

Out exploring. Having a good day

on our June longweekend run with geocaching group and events following up on the maralinga tour.

A good day was had while grabbing these caches with lots of miles covered

Thanks for placing them

Very nearly gave this drive a miss due to the wet weather, road conditions and getting the hire car dirty. But the lure of an oldie and seeing a seal was too much to ignore so out I went. Parking on the road above, made a quick detour to GZ to find the cache. Thanks Team Quasar and Adam et all for keeping this oldie on life support.

Tftc. Beautiful views. Easy find.

Came to the area for the June long weekend enjoyed the weather and the caching. Then headed out to the wider area to find som more gems. Stopped here while passing for another fun find on one of my oldest unfounds [^]

Cheers Quasar and TFTC

My 6th day of my trip heading to and around the Eyre Peninsular. Today I left Kyancutta and headed off towards the coast and stayed near Streaky Bay for the night. This cache would be find number 18 of 22 for the day and find Number 129 in total for this trip away.

Another cache that was on my list to do on this trip. Great spot.

TFTC Quasar

It’s well worth doing some old caches it’s amazing how long this cache has been going for even tho replaced a few times over the years as nothing lasts for ever. Great views here too TFTC

Went west. Found some caches Yours was one!

No sea lions spotted today, but found the old cache hide.
Cache has changed a little over the years methinks, but the great location is well worth the stopover.
All is good for now.

Many thanks for the cache hide and ongoing care and maintenance Quasar .

Country, Coffee, Cats, Champagne, Chocolate, and Caching...
Careful caching as always with Jack helping, wherever we go.
It's a dangerous world filled with rusty old mint tins and objects falling from trees
...... but a cache a day still keeps the boredom away

--------

Most of our caches are logged using the resources of gsak, garmin, and androids, occasionally AI too! (And a little rubber stamp )

----------
Make sure that Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on (Covid cancels caching!)
Keep a safe distance - clean and cache the countryside


It's awesome of all those placing quality caches out and about around our country areas,
in sensible safe places and containers especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

Of course we do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and perhaps we can put an end to these long logs !!!

[:o)]


The end. For now...


... until next time!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GCA1DNA - Great Leap Forward ... be there or be backward!
29.2.24 It's gone MEGA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew this cache was nearby when we were picking a place to camp tonight but I hadn't realised it was quite this old! It's great to add another early cache to our tally.

Thanks for find #4375

Found on a drive to Point Labatt today, beautiful bay. TFTC

Out and about today driving the inland and coast from Streaky to Port Kenny, to Venus Bay, and to Point Labatt and return. Such amazing country, a lot of it dry, but there were some fantastic views along the way. Last cache for today. TFTC

Found on the way back from the sea lion lookout at Point Labatt. Picturesque spot!!! Camped in the area last night and it was an awesome view to wake up to. TFTC ️

Awesome find, nice spot!! Got a cool little tag to take home with us too

Out doing our 2 favourite things Driving and caching
TFTC

It is now in a smaller container look low

Exploring my way home down the western side of the Eyre Peninsula with caching as a tour guide.

On my way down to visit Alex, I popped in and made the short walk to this one. Replacement cache is all in good nick, so NM can be cleared. Spotted some fragile orchids on my way back to the car.

Found it on our way back from checking out the seal colony ️

Found it

Found it in the wet! Fun run back up the hill

The weather and UV had destroyed the lid of the container exposing the contents. We left a new container in it's place.

Thanks

Thanks Quasar for the cache. Found quickly. The cache is not buried, and is broken, but the contents are OK.

Wow. Cache is 20yrs old. Tftc

Beauty of a spot for a find cheers

Nice view

Great place. Container is stuffed but log is dry within 2 ziplock bags. TFTC

What a beautiful place! We came last weekend in the wind and rain and came back for a proper look and the caches! we haven’t replaced the container but we have put the contents into a tough bag so hopefully that will help. Favourite point for the beauty!

Container is broken, log a bit soggy. Needs some attention. We camped just up the road. TFTC

A quick find, after going out to see the sealions. TFTC

Tftc, lid is broken:(

Tftc and walk. Such a spectacular place.

TFTC loads of sea lions sunbaking today

Terrific area....thank you for leading us along the goat track to the cache & a lovely view.
Lid needs replacing - need a square 2lt sistema container lid. Cheers & tftc

We are staying in Streaky Bay for a couple of days and today we came for a drive to the sea lion colony and were happy that we got to see some sea lions along with pretty speccy views. [^]

We stopped here on the way to find the cache.

Thanks for the cache Team Quasar and Adam.

Hopefully will see further Seals today. Thanks for bringing us here
TFTC

Eventually located the right road and the sea lions basking below the cliffs ️

Logged this cache on the way back. Lid is broken ‘tho all dry inside. Needs some TLC

TFTC TQ and Adam

TFTC. Happy caching and safe travels!

Container needs replacing, didn’t have one with us.

Quick find after visiting the sea lion colony. Signed log and headed on our way to the whistling rocks. TFTC.

Cache lid badly broken. Flipped it to keep dry. TFTC.

#402 found. TFTC

New container required

TFTC

Found this with my wonderful long suffering muggle husband while spending a week in Streaky Bay. Parked and walked to the cache. Cache has a hole in the lid. Really needs replacement. No sea lions but loved watching three pelicans catch a couple of fish. TFTC TNLNSL

found on our trip out west. so many of nature's wonders t be seen - flora and fauna

Great Sunday coastal drive

Needs repair the lid is broken and contents soggy

The lid has a hole and contents is soggy

Took a 6km (each way) detour to find this cache. It was a beautiful drive and really glad we did.
The cache itself is in poor condition with a hole in the lid and a sodden logbook. I didn't have any replacements remaining in the vehicle, so left it upside down which will at least keep the rain out, but will allow damp in from the ground. Next finder please bring a replacement if possible.
Didn't see any Sea Lions today, but the water was aqua blue and serene. Thanks for bringing us here.

found with my Mum (TeamThommo) TFTC

Away doing a lap of Australia with my family, we started in January and already have been to Tassy, seen the eastern side of SA, up through the Flinders Ranges into middle of Australia and in to the NT to visit Alice, Kings Canyon and Uluru again. Making our way back through Cooper Pedy where we found some opal, now heading down and along the Eyre peninsula. Sorry for the generic log, I seem to get myself behind and muddled if I don’t do it this way.
Thanks for supplying us with a cache to do on the way. TFTC

Great day for caching, lovely spot

Nice spot to stop

Nice easy find. Not smelly

we had really looked forward to adventure to see the sealions, there was also a couple in the water at the cache. tftcsl

Found it!
Description is out dated, it is now a square plastic container in the bushes

Took a travel bug and left a travel bug
Great place to stop on way to see sea lions. Easy find

Thanks for the nice easy hide. We chose to do this cache based on the description. However, the description is clearly outdated. Dropped a trackable. Beautiful views.

A fun week away with Davidwazza, exploring the Eyre peninsula! TFTC!

During our new years break, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to the Eyre Peninsula to travel around the various coastal towns. We started the trip with Jeep trouble, but then continued in our alternative vehicle without 4WD to stick to the main tourist roads where possible. We travelled south-west to Tumby Bay and Port Lincoln via Whyalla, Cowell, Cleve, Arno Bay; west across to Coffin Bay; and then north-west to Streaky Bay and Ceduna via Elliston, and Venus Bay. We then headed back east staying in Kimba via Poochera, Wudinna, Lock, and Darke Peak.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I continued our adventure from Talia to Streaky Bay. We made a stop at Venus Bay, and decided to leave the boating island/peninsula caches for another visit, to continue on to Murphys Haystacks. We then drove through Calca to Point Labatt to see the sea lions and seals, and then drove north via Sceale Bay. Finally, we spent part of the afternoon driving the Cape Bauer loop road visiting Whistling Rocks, which was a unique highlight!

I'm not sure if I understood the reference to Alex, but I guessed that this was the road out to see the seals and sea lions! Thankfully, the Mazda 2 survived this drive, and we made a stop at this cache.

Some really nice views of the bay. We did make the walk to GZ along some kangaroo (sea lion?) tracks, to find the cache at GZ reasonably quickly. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. There were no sea lions here, but we continued around to the point, where we were delighted to see the seals and sea lion colony from our lookout vantage point. Thanks Team Quasar and Adam for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. It was nice to have found this oldie 12/2002 hidden cache.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Found and saw some beautiful sealions

Nice views enroute to the sea lions. Tftc

Found with Wee Bonnie Lass on our way back from visiting Alex and his friends

Cool spot with the colours in the water!

TFTC

TFTC - with The Winemaker

No sealions near GZ, but good views across the bay

Found it !!!

A 2 week tour of the West Coast started in Streaky Bay, then to Coffin Bay, then to Tumby Bay and finally a couple of days in Whyalla.

All caches were in good condition unless I've posted a Needs Maintenance log.

Found after swimming with the sea lions and dolphins.

TFTC

Wandering around the Eye Peninsular because we can't go West. Visited the seals over 30 years ago for the 1 st time. They look like big slugs. . Almost got blown off the platform. Stopped to get this cache on the way back to Streaky. T.F.T.C.

No sea lions but the view were lovely. I took nothing (there was nothing) asked left a few swapsies to get things started for little cachers) TFTC

Found on my Eyre Peninsula geocaching odyssey. Thanks Quasar and Adam.
