Description
Quite often we take utility services for granted.
It is only when the services are interrupted that we notice. Power failures and water supply interruptions are often very inconvenient, especially when we are in a hurry to get to work or off to an appointment.
This cache is hidden near an electricity switch yard where high voltage power supplies are stepped down to 240V for domestic use. The cache is a 200mL sistema painted in camo colours.

A fairly quick find on a nice warm spring day.
Without electricity we'd still be geocaching with a paper map and a compass, like the stone-age cachers had to.
Thanks 2y'stassies.

I was at an event today in Nuriootpa, and I had these two new GCA caches on my mind to do on the way home. This cache stumped me a little, I circled a few trees before I found the likely hidey spot. It started raining in my search which did not help but I got there in the end.
Thanks 2Y'stassies for helping grow the GCA map in South Australia, there is now 4 GCAs in this area to entice people to venture out!
