Description
A webcam cache using the Signal Point/Alexandrina Council Webcam at the Goolwa wharf
This is a brand new public webcam that has been online less than a week at the time of making this virtual cache.
It is located at Signal Point, Goolwa and looks over the Goolwa wharf, Hindmarsh Island bridge, the Murray River and Hindmarsh Island.
The refresh rate is a default 1 frame per second (which is too quick for some connections) but the refresh rate can be changed at the bottom of the pic to something a bit more manageable for taking your picture from this webcam.
The camera is viewable at http://goolwawharf.alexandrina.com.au/cgi-bin/guestimage.html
To do this Virtual geocache, you will need:-
1. GPS or local knowledge.
2. Mobile phone and a friend/family with a net-connected computer and a phone.
3. Or an internet connected netbook/laptop on site
4. Willingness to have your picture posted here.
Call your geo family/friend and get them to access the webcam on the net (visit link).
Ask them to save the picture with you in it.
Upload the picture and attach it to your log when claiming a find. If you happen to take the picture during an event
and there are a crowd of people on the wharf you will need to point yourself out in the photo.
I do not own and have no control of this WebCam.

and what a great vista as well. Thanks for the cache and bringing me here Mundoo

Makes for a nice change!
We had called in to Hindmarsh Island earlier today, and decided to grab this one on our way home. The picture shows the J's standing at the sundial, grabbing a screencap on one of our phones. Mrs J actually has our GPSr in her hand, not that it's really visible in the image.
Thanks mundoo.
Thanks Mundoo.
TFTC mundoo and the happy snap.
Day six and our last day in Victor Harbor. Towards home tomorrow.
Today we're having a drive around the Goolwa and Murray Mouth areas.
The nearby Oscar W holds a special relationship for us. It was originally built in our home town of Echuca and made the trip down here many years ago. An upmarket restaurant overlooking the river back home carries the same name.
We stood out in the garden with the gps and the laptop for the obligatory photo. Made it back to the car just as the misty rain hit.
Thanks Mundoo. There are not many webcam caches and the only other one we have found to date has been at the university in Christchurch. I doubt it survived the quake.
I tried to do a screen capture on my iPhone but it was the first time I've tried and I don't think I had it right.
That called for a phone call to Mundoo (yes, the intrepid cache owner) to ask for her assistance.
Heard news of awful earthquake in Christchurch, NZ ( a city that significant meaning for both Mundoo and myself) but didn't realise just how bad it was.
TFTC Mundoo (and the help)
A lovely morning at Goolwa.
Drove up, parked and grabbed a couple of images with the iPhone. TFTC.
I am pleased there is another webcam on the south coast.
