Thank you misterdrewkittytoo
Note lid has broken and fallen off.
Visiting from Perth WA, taking a drive through south wine country, trying to squeeze in as many GA finds as possible; en route to family near Barrossa Valley.
During this trip to Adelaide achieved 4x FTF's (GA), picked up a dozen moveables; plus the highlight being my D/T grid (GC) now filled after finding one up a tree.
Huge THANK YOU to local cachers: J&J, Laighside Legends, andrewbt, Atreyu1982, Blackadders, OzGrumpy, weredunn4 & Jacknor whom all contributed towards my success.
What an adventure, visiting: Adelaide CBD, Showground, Glenelg & Seacliff Holdfast Bay, McLaren Vale, Onkaparinga, Hawthorndene, Carrick Hill, Kensington Park, Teringie, Prospect, Elizabeth, Port Adelaide, Garden Island, Gawler, Nuriootpa Barrossa; and an impressive collection of planes at Greenock Aviation Museum!

Struck out again!!! This time the site had 2 farmers standing around talking right next to it so we gave up on it and headed off to Mt Bold Reservoir to watch the water going over the spillway. Another epic fail! - the reservoir access was closed for maintennance. Oh well - on to the Meadows bakery for one of their excellent pasties and a 'bee-sting'.
We've driven past this location many times over the past four and a half years. Today was the first time we decided to stop by to hunt for this geocache, and we saw it before the car had even come to a complete stop. Not that it stands out, but we had a fair idea of what to look for.
We signed the logbook and returned it to it's snug little home, noticing that the lid is brittle and starting to crack.
Thanks misterdrewkittytoo.

We stopped to look for this cache on our way back to our son's place. After a short search Mrs y'stassie was surprised to see the cache looking at her. Cache and contents were in excellent condition considering that it had not been found for over 4 years. Nothing here today to upset hay fever suffers.
We hope other GCA finders will look for this on. Its one of those great in your face hides.
The coordinates were good.
Thanks for a great caching experience MISTERDREWKITTYTOO. Finds like this give us a real buzz.

After finding the cleverly concealed cache, I was left wondering why I hadn't attempted this one sooner. We pass through here many times on our way to Moana, and it was literally a mere few metres detour. Thanks for the cache!
Went for a drive to grab the caches around Clarendon and Kangarilla.
Had to do a quick grab as there was a truck starting up and coming out of the shed. TFTC.

We were heading west for an arvo of caching and photoing. (McLarens Flat & Vale way)
Weather was being a little bit annoying and the rain started just as we arrived here.
Cache was hidden in plain sight so was found in a jiffy.
As I sat in the car signing the log the skies really opened up so it was a quick dash to replace it.
Interesting spot here. I love the hand sawn timber.
